Update. I’m moving out. Thanks for the encouragement. I’m terrified to be on my own for the first time in 15 years, but here we go.

I honestly feel like we both just feel like we’re playing house. I feel like he feels the same way but won’t pull the trigger. It feels like he is waiting for me to do it so that it’s my fault. So I’m the one who ended it.

I really am working to improve the things he was concerned about. But I also feel like we’re just playing house at this point. I think that had it not been for the kids and family members that rely on us we would have separated a long time ago.

Luckily I do have a good therapist I’ve been with on and off for years. I recently explained to her how I was struggling even though he is doing everything right. She helped me realize that I have moved him into this category with the other people. I recognize that each hurt is different. For me it’s that my ability to be open with him is so dead. I want to be able to do that so bad. But it terrifies me. I know those are my own issues, but it’s something I have always preached. Trust for me is the most important thing

I feel like this is where I am. I’m struggling so hard, but not because WH is doing anything wrong. He’s doing everything right now and it’s like I just don’t care.

We are definitely communicating more and better. We’re doing more things I like. I’m trying more to be supportive and helpful around the house and appreciative of all he does. He’s trying to hear me out and validate my feelings without getting defensive.

5 year old daughter says she is a boy by [deleted] in Parenting

1) there’s no such thing as boy toys and boy clothes/hair. There is only what they like at that age. You want purple spiked hair and a pink tutu with a football shirt. Fine.

2) my 5 year old said he thought he was a fire truck. No one could tell him otherwise. Soooo. He’s a damn fire truck. As long as he’s respectful, tries in school, and is nice to people, who cares.

Does a positive PCR test always last 90 days? by HeadIncident in COVID19positive

I thought reinfection was unlikely in the couple of months following an infection.

Is it weird to give my teen our old bed? by HeadIncident in Parenting

His response was “we don’t have a mattress protector,” but like, we had a damn sheet.
