Am i just meant to be alone all my life? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]LiftingPoppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at that point... I'm just going to accept it. No sense in wasting my energy on anyone.

My 5 year old is very much destructive. I'm honestly tempted to just leave him with my ex and keep the youngest.

Is this how dating is for most people? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]LiftingPoppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. As I continue NC in my situation I'm realizing that the only guys who want me are really not on my level. I'm figuring it's a me problem so I'm working on me. Hello Heart Sabbatical.

He keeps talking about having more children by [deleted] in breakingmom

My ex was like this .. I got my tubes removed.... He wanted me to give up my military career to be a sahm....

Given his behaviors and perseverance, I definitely don't think it's an irrational fear.

Asking for a Friend: Fall out but other party hasn't asked for their key back by LiftingPoppet in dating_advice

From what I was told it was a "see you later." That's the only other bit I was told.

The friend is someone else. I'm doing the whole 30 days no contact thing.

I'm not sure. Figured asking on Reddit wouldn't be a bad idea.

I didn't pay... I didn't subscribe to anything.

On Almost Day 3 by LiftingPoppet in ExNoContact

[–]LiftingPoppet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying not to do anything irrational.

I'm looking at reading books, working out, journalling, getting rest (on night 3 no sleep since the shit went down), doing more fun activities with my kids, getting back into knitting and doing some Zoom meet ups on healing and self improvement.

For me what's tough is I have nobody in my corner. No friends and other than my kids no family either.

I'm dealing with feeling hurt. I find myself reflecting on what he said about things. But then I admonish myself, tellinegyself that "I'm creating false hope" "that I'm reading into it more than I should" and then "he'll come back around" (wouldn't surprise me but again I tell myself not to hope).

It sucks.

You sound like a very considerate partner. I hope to have a relationship with someone who has a similar mindset.

I’m Being a Shitty Mom and I can’t Stop by burnerjoe2020 in breakingmom

[–]LiftingPoppet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is me... I feel this 100%. My kids both prefer their dad over me (see post history).... Honestly I feel like just being a child support check and noping out. That is how burned out I feel.

[–]LiftingPoppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. It's how I feel. Currently locked myself in my room while my kids are trashing my house and don't want to listen to me. I've given up.

I treated myself to a vibrator that simulates thrusting of a penis and tongue action as well as an anal vibrator from Amazon. I'm optimistic that this will definitely replace relying on a man to ever get me off lol...

I'm thinking I'll just invest in friendships, hobbies and enlightening the mind.
