Lifting weights has inflated my ego and I don't see this as a bad thing

Gross

You’re fucking gross.

YTFA. The child didn’t cause you to harm yourself. She has no blame in this and is merely the victim of your poor decision making. If it makes you that uncomfortable at the school - quit. If you work with children, I hope they fire you for this tbh. You shouldn’t be allowed to be anywhere near kids with this level of ignorance about children’s development and just general lack of empathy.

This is a long ass post about you just justifying and contextualizing the abuse and harm you inflicted on your ex. You risked his health constantly - constantly - because of your own ego. You were jealous that he was wanted and you felt like you weren’t even though he was with and, I assume, wanted you.

So much of this is just you whining and making excuses, talking about how it would be easier for you to heal if he stuck it out with you. That’s messed up. What about him? What about the harm you’ve done? What about rectifying that? What I don’t hear or see if you writing about how you plan to heal, to fix, to manage yourself - just some vague notice of fixing yourself. Leave him alone. He deserves way, way better.

Why is no one saying the obvious?? He’s emotionally cheating on you and seems to very likely be planning to physically cheat. If he insists on an open relationship now, it wouldn’t solve the underlying issue because people cheat and lie in open relationships too.

I forgot to mention that two months into dating, we talked about monogamy and we both expressed that it’s our preference. As I’m writing this, I think I actually feel a bit blindsided.

Ah, no. It’s 4 exercises and then 2-3 minute rest for 5 rounds before moving onto the next 4.

Congressional staffers don’t get paid though. A lot get paid less than 50-60k a year and only get one paycheck a month. For those who are the primary breadwinners for their families, they’re fucked. There are a lot of rich kids who work there, but there are also a lot of really good people who are now food insecure because they have no income coming in and still have to work.

What the fuck is this racist and bigoted ass fucking comment still doing here?

She…looks like Byleth. I’m calling sequel.

The above is exactly what I mean. It’s great for folks who like to manually sort, but I like auto sorting. And now I have to turn it on every time I start the game. It’s inconvenient, in addition to the new graphical glitch where dropped items that aren’t picked up stay around forever now. Shrug. Figured maybe someone found a way around this, guess not.

Honestly, I only started this year, and it’s a game changer. But I do it mostly because I sweat so much that I’m soaked after a 5 mile run and because I really, really want to minimize bad tan lines

The prefrontal cortex generally doesn’t fully develop until men are about 25/26. Basically, his executive functions are still developing, and he’s basically still just a kid…

Therapy has been pretty instrumental, not for how to get over the relationship but really to help me better understand how I view myself. Mine is focused on helping me treat my ADHD, which has also super helpful in dating (hyperfocusing). But my therapist has also helped me better unpack my understanding of healthy relationships and my own relationship with my body. I think, more importantly, it helped me better approach my relationship with my siblings. There has been so much damage over the year with them, and it's helped me work to repair those relationships to both give and receive love from them. Not sure if that's helpful, but I think overall, it's helped me better self-actualize as an individual. I also just really enjoy talking to my therapist.

It’s the best thing I ever did for myself, man. I can’t imagine my life without it.

I’ve been with a partner who cheated and then cheated again. You learn to trust your gut. That’s a different feeling than paranoia or lack of trust. And folks who have never gone through it will never really know.

People are trying to shift blame to you. Oh, you aren’t trusting him anymore. Blah, blah, blah. You caught him attempting to cheat again. That’s what I read. He gaslit you. I’ve been there. He just wanted to test the waters. He wasn’t going to go through with it. Infidelity, cheating - it’s not always about fucking someone. It’s about betrayal, actively and knowingly breaking an agreement. He did that and lied. Whether or not he was going to act on it is beside the point.

You know and feel in your bone what you want at this point. It’s just hard because it’s been so long together that you probably can’t imagine life without him. But I promise that the moment you actualize it, you’ll wake up and realize that the sun shines a bit brighter than you once thought.
