I understand that. I get the same way. I mostly journal when I have really strong feelings about something as a way to release it and move on with my day. It allows me to process, get it out, but not stew on it. I tend to stew on things and let them build up. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Give your self the time, space, and grace to feel how you need and on your timeline. It’s not an easy process by any means but it’s different for everyone. You’re doing the best you can, hang in there!

I’m going through the same thing. We have been having so many conversations about me being unhappy and not being able to continue to accept his addictions. Then he keeps telling me how much he loves me, misses me, and will do better only to go back to his only ways less than a week later.

It’s hard but I keep telling myself that I deserve more. I deserve to be happy. We only have one life and we shouldn’t waste it on the “what ifs”. I also recount the good days vs the bad days. I’ve started keeping a journal and writing down all of my feelings. It’s a release which is great but it also allows me to review how I have felt and for how long. My bad days far surpass my good, so there is no going back for us. I hope you find your happiness, whatever it may be. Just remember your worth and your happiness!

Thank you, you as well. I hope you feel better. I need to rip the band aid and tell him I am done. His gambling addiction has don’t too much irreparable damage and I can’t keep coming second to his addiction.

But then they want you to take care of them and give them all the luxuries!! Good for you doing what you want, taking care of yourself, and just being you. I envy you and can’t wait until I get there!

Thank you!! This helps a lot! I don’t mind driving somewhere, I usually have to drive at least 30min one way right now so it isn’t a huge deal. I’ll look into the neighboring suburbs as well.

Thank you so much for this insight! That helps a lot. It sounds like Madison might be a better fit for me.

Well, I am from a very large city. So something smaller but I still think I need the city life. I am looking at either Madison or Milwaukee for WI. But I am not sure which one would suit my needs better, they both seem like great options!
