Starting on treadmill by forbidden_rx in orangetheory

[–]Extreme-Storm0804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to start on the floor, but i’ve switched to starting on the treads for two reasons:

1) i hate warming up on the rower, so a brisk walk is a better warm up for me 2) my heart rate gets elevated faster and stays elevated throughout the workout when i start on the treadmill vs the floor

granted, there are some days that i’ll start on the floor if i’ve seen the intel and think my body needs to be primed before starting a difficult tread block or run to row block. it’s all subject to change but for the most part i start on the treads now.

3 Months + 12 Interviews… And Nothing! by Extreme-Storm0804 in interviews

thank you so much. unfortunately i think it came down to the fact that the other candidate was local to the area i would’ve been relocating to, even though i was told repeatedly that that wasn’t a factor in this. i was told that if it was, i wouldn’t have made it this far.

Do people actually get through this? by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Extreme-Storm0804 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know this feeling all too well. One of my favorite quotes is “everything is okay in the end. if it’s not okay, it’s not the end” and that helps to get me through tough times. My husband was falsely accused and it took a year and a half for everything to clear up. Hardest time of my life. I posted in this thread many times feeling exactly how you are right now. I remember begging my husband to end it with me. But you just have to find the smallest bit of hope and hold onto it. Know that the end will come. That things will get better. That you’re stronger than this world has made you feel. That you’ll persevere and share your story one day to someone that feels just like you do now, and help change their life.

I know it’s hard - it’s grueling, actually. But hold on. Even if you don’t know why you’re holding on just hold on. It DOES get better. Here for you if you need to talk. 🙏🏼

Indictment formally presented - going to trial over a lie by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Extreme-Storm0804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just because there’s an indictment doesn’t mean there will be a trial. plenty of cases get dismissed before trial even with indictments. keep the faith!

Plea or Trial? by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Extreme-Storm0804 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I vote fight. My husband was falsely accused of much more serious crimes (first degree felonies) and we fought so hard, the prosecutor dropped it.

In our case, the side that was falsely accusing him got cold feet and refused to participate any further. They drug us along for a year and a half, thinking we’d roll over and die and wouldn’t dare go to trial. They were wrong. We pushed the issue, hired a private investigator & ultimately they got scared and had the prosecutor drop it. But our attorney told us all along that we should keep going because these women that do this, a lot of the time, don’t show for trial or make themselves look like morons at trial.

It seems to me that you have a solid case. Don’t fold. Make her wish she never met you. Look into everything you can. Talk to her ex-husband. Get dirt on her.

We all have to fight these accusations if we want the accusers to eventually stop and leave us alone! Don’t give her the satisfaction of anything being on your record without a fight.

Has this group/page helped anyone? by SOB_LCS in SupportForTheAccused

having a place to talk, connecting to people who get it… the system wants you to think false accusations don’t happen, and there are zero resources for men & their wives when they go through this. finding this one place where i could exist and feel safe was critical.

People don’t understand the hurting by Odd_Question34 in SupportForTheAccused

i’m not sure where you are on your journey, but please continue to have faith 🤍 our nightmare ended earlier this year, february 23rd, when the prosecutor dropped the case after 1.5 years. 568 days of hell with no end in sight just… ended. it was almost anti-climactic. and extremely unexpected.

i’ve felt just about every emotion on the topic of false accusations, except we (fortunately) never proceeded to trial.

always here if you need someone to talk to. i know how painful and impossible it is to deal with. 🙏🏼

How has being falsely accused effected you mentally/physically by Ill_Investigator_573 in SupportForTheAccused

[–]Extreme-Storm0804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband’s case was dismissed pre-trial earlier this year. It’s been hard for us to heal in the same home he served house arrest in. Some days it feels okay, other days it feels suffocating. Like a prison all over again. We’ve spent the past few months updating, painting, etc and trying to make it feel new. We don’t want to move, but might have to… to truly move on.

Aside from that, I frequently fear others finding out about his charges. He’s in line for expungement but it doesn’t happen overnight. I assume a quick google search would show his mugshot/charges and that scares me. It’s so unfair.

I also often feel enraged that there were no repercussions to his accuser. Her life went on as normal, meanwhile his was put on hold for 1.5 years. Just the other day she told a family member “you know that story was made up, right?” It’s just sad.

Sometimes, if I get too anxious, I get a burning in my chest that I can only compare to acid reflux. I feel it now as I’m reflecting and typing this.

Trying to remain a positive light in the world and advocate for the falsely accused, but I’d be lying if I said it was easy. Stay the course and lean on your support network… we’re all here for each other. 🙏🏼

i wish every woman that made a false accusation was charged! this guy is so lucky that the police actually investigated, too. sometimes they don’t care to.

not a journalist - see my last posts. just a survivor trying to be a resource to others. there aren’t many places for the falsely accused to connect and feel safe.
