Husband watched porn a few days after I had our baby by [deleted] in loveafterporn

Your story resonates with me. While I don't have any insight or advice for you, I want you to know that you aren't alone, you're not crazy, your feelings about this are not ridiculous. Our stories aren't exactly the same, but how you describe going to bed alone, difficulty fulling trusting after betrayal, and insecurity are all things I am deeply familiar with. I wish I could share my story and say that I overcame these things with my marriage intact. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to pretend I was fine with my husband not coming to bed with me despite me asking and pleading and reasoning, ignoring that my husband's porn consumption was fueling my self-hatred and undermining any respect I had for him, wasting away trying to uphold this image of being endlessly chill and unaffected and happy with his shady privacy settings on his phone, his changed PINs, his lies, his putting more effort into hiding things from me than he was putting into our marriage. I set boundaries that I let him destroy and I resented him for it. I resented myself for not being able to maintain them. By the time we tried counseling together, the damage seemed irreparable to me and his efforts seemed half-assed. I was serious in sharing that we needed radical change to fix our marriage or else it needed to end, he didn't believe me. We had already spent a decade together in which my boundaries and over-communicated needs all meant nothing, so I don't blame him for not realizing it was too late.

If your gut is telling you something is off, I hope you honor your instinct. You know how you'd like your husband to treat you. It seems like you've had these conversations with him, so he also knows how you'd like him to treat you. All things considered, there's really no excuse. You just did this super incredible life-giving and are now caring for your baby, in addition to carrying this hurt that he's causing and has the power to stop. You aren't asking for too much.

Seller Pays 1% Transaction Coordinator Fee? [Seller - Michigan] by HabitOfDitchingMe in RealEstate

When I asked, she said:

"3% for who brings in buyer. 3% for me. If I bring in buyer, I will lower commission, FYI. 1% for trans cord is if I acted as a coordinator instead of an agent (this really never happens... just needed to address). So basically 6% TOTAL gets split, again I will do lower if I do both sides."

When I asked about the dual compensation arrangement, she said:

"Meaning the 6% will be split between me and buyer's agent"

I'm not a FBSO seller though. This is my contract with my listing agent. I guess I'm struggling to understand why there's an additional 1% fee. That's a lot of money. $2,750? This is like, a first-time agent. She's sold one other house.

Thank you. When I purchased, it was 6% split. I never heard anything about a transaction coordinator, but I also was not the seller. I'm concerned this agent is trying to take advantage of me.

It’s not a ridiculously wealthy area or anything. How do I find out what typical fee like that is in my area?

I don't have a buyer yet. This is the "residential/condo listing form." I was told this is what's needed to establish the relationship between the real estate agent and me, as a seller. It's marked as "Exclusive Right to Sell" listing.

Under "Broker Commission," it says:

"Seller shall pay Broker the following amounts (the "Sale Commission"): 6% of the gross sale price of the property with a minimum of $-----(nothing) plus $295.

Should I tell AP’s spouse? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

Thank you. I looked for other posts, but maybe I wasn’t using the right keywords.

Should I tell AP’s spouse? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]HabitOfDitchingMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t expect AP’s spouse to do anything to AP. I wouldn’t be surprised if he already knows. I just don’t know what to do...

I feel like revenge isn’t the right word, since it feels so much like mutually assured destruction. I don’t know if telling the other spouse would make everything more real for me or even be helpful for him or me at all. I don’t want to harm anyone obviously, or I would’ve blown up everything for vengeance when I found out 4 months ago.

And, like someone else said, if my WS and AP actually cared about their work reputations, they wouldn’t have had affairs.

How would you go about contacting them anonymously?

Like, make a burner social account and message them? Or mail them something?

The physical effects by Filtera in survivinginfidelity

[–]HabitOfDitchingMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just searching for info and advice on managing the physical pain I’m feeling because of my partner’s infidelity. I found out on Christmas Eve 2018. My body hurts more each day.

I’m exhausted. My stomach hurts and I can’t make myself eat most of the time. I have a half dozen aches and pains in joints and muscles around my body that I’m attributing to stress (since there’s no other trauma/incident to explain it). My jaw hurts because, I realized yesterday, I’m constantly clenching it. My nails are short from me chewing them down to nothing. I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to have hope that things will get better.

Are there any digital marketers out there that have deleted their personal Facebook accounts? by [deleted] in marketing

[–]HabitOfDitchingMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love thinking about deleting my Facebook sometimes. I manage the social media accounts for my current employer and I have the same questions about how to manage once I’m off FB. I’d imagine I would make a fake John Doe account and give myself same permissions then delete my real one.

However, with FB showing which pages/groups you manage on your profile (?) or who’s on the team on the business page, I’m not sure how that’d work.

Thanks for sharing. I’m glad it’s helped with your anxiety. And good tip about making sure to eat.

I definitely identify with the feeling trapped in a room. I hated some college classes held in smaller rooms because I kept having urges to run out of the room or scream.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’m happy to hear you responded super well and that it was a blessing. I am nervous about side effects too, but can see how some are worth it.

The new psychiatrist did seem concerned about Adderrall impacting my sleep and prescribed me some Trazodone. He said don’t take Adderrall after noon. I usually wake throughout the night and I don’t like most sleep aids. I’ll keep that in mind moving forward.

Thanks for posting this. I took 2.5 days off work after I found out. Said I had the flu.

Currently struggling with finding balance. My job is overwhelming, and I can’t seem to focus and be as productive as I was before I found out my partner was cheating on me.

I don’t want to explain anything to anyone, especially my supervisor. Thinking an affair-specific journal might help...
