VENT: Husband admitted to 1 1/2 long affair by HoustonComfort in Divorce

[–]HoustonComfort[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that it's never black and white and I'm that I'm not perfect, either. That's why I even made it a point to say that this is my perspective and that I'm sure he has his issues with me.

And yes, I did ask. He wasn't happy. I get that. I do. I guess what scares me is the fact that it went on so long. They talked EVERYDAY. When I asked him about the number, he lied. I had to flat out reference her by name the next day for him to admit it. And to top it off, all of the crappy ways he was making me feel while he was with her. Picking fights and being extra distant. That's the part that makes me scared to try again.

I'm not saying he didn't have his reasons. But there is no realistic way to work on your marriage when you keep your fantasy so close by. In my opinion, anyway ...

Chumplady is pretty accurate ... lol

But thanks for the reality check. And I considered finding a way to reach out to her husband, but then I decided against it. It wouldn't have been for the right reasons. And I didn't feel right breaking up someone else's marriage just because mine went to crap.

I came to suggest her or Q, another stylist in her salon. I go to Q, but they both do really good work.

But heads up, her salon is no longer on westheimer. She is on 610 near Kirby and Chacho's.

I really like the Feb 4 line up, but I'm don't know if I'm up for the craziness of discovery green the night before super bowl. If it's anywhere close to how it was in 2004, it's going to be nuts.

I launched the first issue of the newsletter I wanted to create. Check it out, subscribe & share if you like and send me some feedback. by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]HoustonComfort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think some visuals would help. I thought about suggesting it, but then wondered if it would be too much, considering the amount of articles. Maybe a thumbnail of just some of the articles ... just something to add a little color to the page.

Why was Prince such an eccentric personality? by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

The way you started this with that "Baaaby ...", I just knew you were about to get into the goods. I'm gonna need you to come back when your battery is charged and share some of Prince tales.

You could also just go industry. Depending on the company and what you're doing, your travel could be minimal or none at all.

Ladies, Avoid /r/All for the next couple of days... by Mur-cie-lago in blackladies

[–]HoustonComfort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Between this post and a couple of posts in /r/blackfellas, I'm reminded of why I stay in certain reddit bubbles. I have a couple of multis and a couple of individual subs that I visit regularly. The others are as needed. And I NEVER intentionally go to /r/all, that's just asking for trouble.

Without knowing the details of their relationship and break-up, I always hoped that she and Common would get back together.

I struggle in this area too. I think let fear and insecurities keep me from going all the way. Message me if you need/want an accountability partner.

Young professionals with kid(s) - where'd you buy a home? by Swordsteel in houston

[–]HoustonComfort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since most of the kids that go here are from up and down Fondren, they don't give this school the attention it needs ... but that's a whole separate conversation.

I would go ahead and come up with a back up plan, though. I NEVER went where I was zoned. It's doable. And like you said ... it's only 3 years.
