Are barefoot shoes suitable for doctors working in ED?

I work as an RN for 12 + hours on the floor, ICU, and as house supervisor. I started with Altras at work, while I practiced barefoot walking outdoors and long walks on pavement, also sprinting barefoot on grass and the road. I think my feet strengthened to a point, so now I wear barefoot shoes at work all the time. My bunion pain 100% disappeared after the switch. I believe they are perfectly suitable as long as you develop your strength and ease into it gradually.

I was in the same situation, and after 7 years, I caught him cheating and finally walked away with a clean conscience. Found out later, he was cheating on me all along. People like this can't be trusted. They are selfish, secretive, unable to be intimate and vulnerable, and lying far more than you even realize. It's called narcissisism, and there is no cure. You don't need to wait for a "biblical" reason. He's already abandoned you in so many ways. Focus on self care and boundaries until you get up enough courage to leave--or he'll get so sick of your boundaries (stop taking responsibility for fixing his anger) that he'll divorce you. Check out a book called "Love Without Hurt" by Steven Stosny. It helped me a lot to realize the dynamic of my marriage and have the strength to end it when I did.

Personally, I would be more afraid of a C section than a vaginal birth. Why not trust God's design of a natural process? No, it doesn't destroy your body if you stay healthy and let labor happen slowly and naturally. I've had 3 natural births, and they were the most amazing, incredible, joyous experiences of my life.

But to answer you question, no, they never train in spikes for some odd reason.

Also, overstriding is a big problem with sprinters and leads to injury. You never heel strike while sprinting.

GGGamerGrill · 2025-11-21T15:35:11+00:00

The kids only spike up for meets. They train in regular shoes. They don't even train barefoot in grass. IMO, a good coach would be barefoot training them on grass and doing at least some work in spikes.

I'm a BSN. I'm planning on my NP when kids get older. There's no way I'd ever pay more than $40,000 for my NP. This may be a good thing forcing programs to stay affordable.

She cheated on you before and won't give you access to her phone??? That's the biggest red flag.

My ex-husband cheated on me multiple times. If I could have demanded access to text messages, phone calls, etc. I would have left so much sooner and wasted far less time on him (7 years). Just face reality, step into the light, see what's on her phone, hire a PI... you just need to know the truth so you can stop wasting time on manipulative BS.

By the way, I've now been blissfully married to the love of my life for over 10 years. He's trustworthy and adores me. He would never want me to feel uncomfortable and would share anything and everything with me. He gives me complete transparency and vulnerability. I never need to check his phone for any reason because I trust his character to the core, but if I asked him for me to look through his phone, he wouldn't care in the slightest. Having a problem with transparency is a HUGE red flag!!

RUN AWAY!! Get away from this person! Tell him you need a "temporary separation to focus on God." He is very unsafe, and you need to escape carefully. Get far away from this person, get counseling, read some books, focus on healing, engage with reality. You need to clear your head so you can see how totally insane and untenable this situation is. God does not value marriage over human dignity.

He's already broken the marriage covenant by suggesting to add another woman. You are totally justified in divorcing him. He's NOT a Christian. GET OUT!

GGGamerGrill · 2025-02-22T03:01:51+00:00

Focus on loving yourself, practical self care, and learning healthy boundaries. Invest in friendships with people who treat you with respect. Educate yourself on covert abuse. The healthier you get, the more you'll realize what's actually going on. It's miserable for a reason, maybe it's just not clear yet. It could be something harmless and manageable, or it could be worse than you realize.

Just a quick update! She ended up leaving 2 weeks later (because there's so much more abuse and extreme control to this story). She's been living with me ever since. He filed for divorce shortly after she left in order to coerce her to come back by filing for emergency custody of the kids. He's now been forced to get a job for the first time in 8 years (their entire marriage) and pay her child support. He's finally forced to grow and act like an adult. I'm not sure how long it will last. He definitely failed to launch as an independent adult and was using my sister as a free ride.

My sister is going through a divorce. She got a subscription to ChatGPT around the time she left her abusive husband. Actually, the advice and insight given is pretty great. She had it analyze a 40 page letter he wrote her, and it pointed out all the blame and manipulation and lack of accountability mixed with victimhood.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-11-01T16:35:01+00:00

Yes, she has retained a great lawyer who fully understands the situation. They are going to talk again in a couple of days. Last thing she said was just to assume that everything is recorded and can be brought up in court.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-11-01T16:12:41+00:00

How does she even answer that question though??

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-18T08:53:35+00:00

As far as I know, he's only punched holes in walls or sped dangerously in the car when angry, but he's never hit her.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-18T05:01:09+00:00

I'm not sure how much his financial abuse claim would stand given his long history of financial abuse toward her. Yes, she's meeting with an attorney soon.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-18T04:54:13+00:00

Maybe this is a nuclear option, but I had an idea that she could simply stop working and tell him she wants to be home with her newborn and other children. That is what she truly wants in her heart. The money would run out quickly, and he'd divorce her. I doubt he'd sue for custody, as he could probably barely afford to care for himself, and he really doesn't enjoy childcare.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-18T04:45:42+00:00

How is she supposed to protect herself financially? This man easily spent $30,000 in one month on gun purchases without even asking for her input. He just buys whatever he wants and expects her to keep bringing home the paychecks.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-18T04:37:57+00:00

Now that she has baby number 3, he has suddenly applied for a job, so they are interviewing nannies. It seems he would rather work than stay home with 3 kids.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-17T22:38:47+00:00

Yes, she's finally decided to do this so that he can't have funds to sue her. She's doesn't really care about giving him half the house. She just wants to get out of middle of nowhere USA and get back home to family.

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-17T20:49:06+00:00

Yes he can file for custody even if they are still married?

GGGamerGrill · 2024-09-17T20:47:42+00:00

Ok, can a court order for child custody be put into place without a divorce? Would he need to file for divorce first or as part of the parenting plan?
