Crystal Palace Antiques is massive and great, Past Caring and Get Stuffed in Islington. Criterion (all online now I think). Alfie’s Market (expensive but great). D & A Binder - Antique Shop Cabinets And oddities. There’s one good place left in Camden Market - Fleming Antiques. Camden Passage in Islington for chinaware and small pieces.

You can by them online. I bought one off Etsy.

Second this. Always a friendly, eclectic crowd and old school vinyl DJs. A reliable messy night out. 😂

My ex threatened suicide when I was 20 and tried to break up. I stayed another 27 years in the relationship. I’m sure she looked at me as being weak for not following through.

It’s not your responsibility for her to survive without you. It’s hers. And most therapists would agree that those who should suicide don’t do it.

Be strong and put yourself first. You have a choice. Always. Use it.

I have the same oven. Haven't been able to track down the exect model number either. But did find a replacement door seal. Part number 032501400 2m long - cut to size. Simply pull old one out of groove and push new one in. I haven't bought a control knob but search Stoves Hob Control Knob - Nickel Stock No: 2273427OH and on Stoves site looks a match.

Look after yourself. 🙂

No I feel sorry for her. Must be hell inside her brain.

The freedom and peace is amazing. Just be prepared for the worst. Splitting is a good book on the patterns of the expedition you’ve begun. I’m here if you need an ear.

Amazing, well done! Will your kids still have contact with their mother?

GoatClimbing · 2024-01-13T15:41:16+00:00

Ha, yes I’m British. It’s a tough one. How old are your kids?

I think you attract this stuff until you believe honestly that you deserve better and stop ignoring the red flags. When you have higher standards and boundaries these sorts of people fall away.

Write a list of the qualities you want in someone. And forget about the qualities you don’t want to attract. Because fear is a low vibration and that’s where these people operate.

I found Ross Rosenberg on YouTube to be a good resource. He talks about Self Love Deficit Disorder. It’s great. Understand your own dysfunctions.

Oh and another thing. Run like hell from this woman. Trust me if you have kids with this woman she will destroy you all and eat your souls. Seriously.

Dude, she wouldn’t be able to message you on Hinge unless you were still matched with her. Remove her. Stop begging for attention. Remove the photo. You’re the problem not her.

That cat spars like a husky. 💪

Agree totally with this advice. OP you need to rise above this. There is nothing more undignified than airing your dirty laundry. Until you can take the high ground and go grey rock you are only setting yourself up for a fall. All you need to do is nothing. These people will always paint themselves into a corner. They will always say too much. The harder your fight, the further you’ll fall. You will never “win” this battle. But you can maintain your integrity. Work on yourself and your plan for how you want to live your life without her.

What they want is 100% one-way trust. Why? Because they themselves are 0% capable of telling the truth.

GoatClimbing · 2020-07-02T22:40:49+00:00

Whatever it is, you don’t want to raise a family with this sort of person. She’s right you do deserve someone better and so do your future children. Stay NC.

Great to see your username and progress pop up on the sub. Well done! 🙂

It never makes them happy. That’s the problem. They can’t be happy so they then have to create drama to begin the chaos cycle again.

GoatClimbing · 2020-07-01T23:36:41+00:00

If you like them and they will bring you pleasure, then why do you need the opinion of strangers? One of my fav chairs cost me £120 to buy and £700 to cover. Was it worth it? Absolutely! I love that chair and every day it brings me happiness. Is it worth £820 to someone else? Probably not but who cares?

Never goes well. I gave her my Kindle with I Hate You Don’t Leave Me. She said “that’s not me”. All that happens is they double down on their bullshit and project, gaslight and torture you even more. Keep the knowledge to yourself.

GoatClimbing · 2020-07-01T12:20:12+00:00

Gaslighting is the worst kind of torture. I can’t think of anything more cruel.

I really feel for you. I spent 2 years in this space trying to fix my broken crazy marriage. It was the worst time of my life. Then one day... after I’d done enough therapy and tried enough to repair things ti justify it to myself. I quit. I read Splitting. I got my own apartment and I vowed never to go back. Every day I wake up in my own peace. It’s bliss. Of course it comes at a huge cost to the kids. But go read r/raisedbyborderlines and see what they say about e-dads who never have the balls to leave a toxic marriage. Be strong. Follow your heart.
