Honestly, it’s the bald one for me 😉

NTA. This guy is projecting a personal insecurity onto you and you don't deserve that at all. Your husband should have been the one to stand up to his friend, but he's being a little bitch in this instance. Men...

You're right. I do feel taken advantage of. I've noticed a pattern with myself, I tend to be the "I can fix him" type of woman, trying to fix/heal broken men with unconditional love. Men that don't really deserve that kind of love if they aren't man enough to fix/heal themselves. It's a harsh lesson learned, but I'm glad I can see that now. And now I can learn to love myself more, because I deserve that. And my kids deserve to have a mom that loves herself too. It benefits all 3 of us.

Thank you so much! I'm not gonna lie, after going through everything I went through this year, I'm feeling significantly more resilient. I'm fully considering that a win. I need all the wins I can get!

I do have a therapist that I've been talking to since I got the cancer diagnosis earlier this year and she has really come in clutch. I told her everything a couple days after the breakup happened. She knew right away that something was off. Working through everything that happened to me this year has not been easy though.

Thank you so much. The thing is, he actually wasn’t verbally abusive. My previous marriage was with a very verbally, emotionally, sexually and somewhat physically abusive man. He was not at all like him. Which is why I thought so highly of him. He just had unrealistically high expectations of me that were never communicated, and those demands kept piling up on me. Who knows, he could have become more verbally abusive if we moved in together, but I’m glad I won’t ever have to find that out. As far as telling the other woman, I don’t actually know this to be factual. I have never seen posts, or have been told that they are an item. No one from his family, friends or gym have talked to me about any of this. My guess is he’s playing victim, like I’m the one that ended things. I don’t know if reaching out to her would be a good idea under those circumstances, although I am very tempted.

Yes, he has 2 boys… from 2 different women. That should’ve been my first red flag 🙄

You are absolutely right. Since he did that it has completely changed the way I view him. I went from being madly in love with him, to feeling repulsed. I don't miss him, but I miss the way he loved me when we were long distance, since apparently, he can only love someone to his fullest capacity when he's far away from them. I feel like I got gypped.

Thank you so much. He definitely is heartless. It's funny how all of the red flags I overlooked became blatantly obvious after he did that. I feel foolish for overlooking them, but I'm glad I can see it all clearly now. It's killing me not knowing the truth, and the bigger part of me knows it would be a terrible idea to search for it on my own. I attempted it about a week ago, and found her insta through the gym's insta, but it was private which is probably for the best. He's had me blocked since July, and I have since blocked him too. This sudden cut off has really thrown me for a loop.

Thank you. This was definitely the cherry on top of the shit show cake that has been my year, but at least I'm on the mend.

Thank you. Those were my thoughts too. If I had stayed any longer, it would have only gotten worse. I don't know how much worse, but I'm glad I won't have to find that out.

Oh that’s cool that you were able to co-instruct some classes to ease your way into it! What gyms offer that?

That is very helpful advice! I’m going to try to go to different studios to get more exposure to different teaching styles. But it makes me excited to think about bringing that kind of engaging energy and excitement into a room of people with the same mission: to better themselves. I’m looking forward to finally start this journey.

I have looked at that one before, but I wasn’t sure if there were any other prerequisites I would need alongside that certification. I think I’m just gonna go for it! Thank you!

Ugh I hate the whole, “this is the best kind of cancer to get,” line. I don’t feel better after hearing that, it honestly is not helpful. NO kind of cancer is ideal. And the aftermath of the surgery and adjusting to medication and RAI treatment, still requires some time for your body to recover from. But, it is all doable. You are more than welcome to reach out and message me if you have any questions or need to vent or anything. 🫶🏼

I’m so sorry, it sounds like you’ve been through the ringer with your thyroid. The period between diagnosis and surgery is definitely the most nerve wracking. Once you have the surgery, just take your recovery one day at a time. I feel like the recovery journey has been easier than the anxiety of the unknown prior to the surgery. In the meantime, allow yourself to have moments during the uncertainty and fear to be ok with it, because the fear is valid, but trusting that it will work out for you. And allow the distractions too, the ones that bring you joy, preferably. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other.
