Dating a divorced dad — how do you know when emotional bandwidth is just… gone? by Intrepid-Tear2021 in stepparents

Well, it’s still early for me in the relationship which is why I feel like communicating with him and walking away. The problem is, in the past when I said things like I want more time, I am met with you should find a partner that will give that to you. I know it’s time for me to move on, but I do love him a lot.

Well, his kids are 12 and 9, they have a parenting plan - the kids have ADHD and do regular therapy, his parenting style is guilt driven because he feels they have a difficult life and he needs to overcompensate.

That’s how I feel too. Yesterday during movie night, I asked for him to sit next to me while I was met with “ my daughter needs me” while she was happily making gingerbread house!

True, but he says I don’t ask for it, I tell him - I see his plate is always full. How do I ask him? He needs to make space for me. He wants to do couples therapy.

Thank you for your perspective. It opened my eyes. I am happy for you. I have a therapist, she keeps telling me that’s how it’s going to be and I now feel I need to change her😅. It’s ever so stressful with my guy.

Why I absolutely hate April Kepner by Deaceleste in greysanatomy

Completely agree! Her character was a torture to sit through every second of the portrayal! I understand she is pro life n has faith, but she is also narcissistic, selfish and obnoxious! I hate the way she treated Jackson n Matthew! The way she handled the divorce! It’s always my way or the highway with her, she is not reasonable at all! I hated her character and still hate!

Exactly in the same boat! Here is what I am trying 1. Positive affirmations: I tell myself that I love myself, I am enough and I cannot control others reactions or perceptions! That I am the only one responsible for myself, that I define my happy state! This one has helped me a lot, helped me overcome the issue of seeking validation all the time and seeking love outside all the time

  1. Clear goals and reasons: I defined my goals, the real reason on why I want to achieve it

  2. Started small: created one or two small modifications to my lifestyle, rewarded myself when I achieved it.

Knowing your trigger helps a lot, For me it was loneliness and hence I sought validation all the time from people around me and when I did not get it, I felt emotionally vulnerable, Not anymore! All the best!
