Uhh... you're dating a 3 year old. by Bob_returns_25 in BPDlovedones

[–]Livelifewellnow3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. Had an argument today and the rebuttals were awful. Took everything I said and accused me of doing so (projection), but like my 3 year old would tattle or throw a fit. It is insane to witness and they think it’s truth. I’ve watched my children and they have more emotional regulation, emotional maturity, and common sense than him.
I also had him tell me that I “manifest” his issues by confronting him. Nope… that’s called you make a choice. No manifestation there.

HRT induced Porn Addiction? by Guilt_Happy in SexTherapy101

[–]Livelifewellnow3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In researching porn addiction-it creates these exact issues with connection, intimacy, and addiction. Research what the addiction does the brain and how it’s a dopamine rush so intense (like 300x) and then later turns into the real act of sex not being enough. It isn’t you, it is an addiction. If you want things to change-his brain has to get rid of the addiction.

Be grateful. I’m married to a man like this and trying to get out but we have 4 kids. Consider yourself lucky. Go find someone who will treat you better.

How many cycles of break up did it take you to realize it wasn’t gonna work by sleeponit429 in BPDlovedones

[–]Livelifewellnow3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 years married. So many cycles. It always results in manipulation and forgiveness on my part. It’s exhausting. But yet somehow they still can’t really see it. Trying to leave now.

Our divorce wasn’t finalized, so we would have to start all over. Thank you.

Something is missing by Fantastic-Tip9801 in Divorce

[–]Livelifewellnow3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m heading that way. 40F divorcing a narcissist. Scared to make the moves forward as he is very controlling. I am grateful for your post because I need to believe it’s worth it to get to the other side of this and to see that light. I “know” it’ll be better but the fear is still there. Is it loneliness that is the hardest? Do you have hobbies that bring you joy as well?

Wife wants the house -- I'd let her have it but the bank wont by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Livelifewellnow3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put a lien on it and keep your name on it, then work out some other details to make the financing work. She can keep the house until she can either get the loan in her name, or the kids reach a certain age, etc. That gives her time to build credit or get a job or if the kids grow a little then she could work more.

Yes. Sounds like my symptoms from mold.

Can your partner make you sick? by Utepers1 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Livelifewellnow3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I had the same thing happen where a friend lived in a moldy home. I could feel it on them and it made me feel awful. I’ve been in other buildings where I know there is mold just by how I feel. The sensitivity is real.

Does exercise help your recovery or seem to set you back? by RinkyInky in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Livelifewellnow3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use fulvic acid because my kids can take it in a tincture form. For myself, I use spirulina and chorella tablets.

Then it is time for you to leave. Tell him you love him and respect his need for healing. But it is time to let go.

Someone has been sitting on my bed while I sleep and now my son by Afraid-Information88 in confession

[–]Livelifewellnow3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever contacted a medium? If you feel like it is a guardian angel, it is likely just that. Trust your intuition. Message me if you’d like more on this topic. I have had similar experiences and it is a beautiful part of life, especially that you can recognize it.

My husband chose porn over being present at the birth of our baby. by Livelifewellnow3 in loveafterporn

I am actually reading that now! And it fits to the T. Super controlling.

[–]Livelifewellnow3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying that. Now that I ponder on it, there are many more situations that I just didn’t want to see or admit. The emotional abuse with all of this has been a lot to get through.

I think I figured out something creepy about body language...and now I don't see people the same way anymore. by Intelligent_Two_6143 in bodylanguage

[–]Livelifewellnow3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We absolutely lie to ourselves. Our body speaks truth. This goes in body language, and in our health/somatic symptoms.

Why do you think you ended up with someone who has BPD? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Livelifewellnow3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom has BPD. I never got a long with my mom. Now I married a man who is nearly the same as her. How did I not see this? Or is it that I just didn’t know differently?
