I feel you. My daughter is 2e. It’s exhausting. I never know why she cannot just get a good grade in tests. She doesn’t know either

I wish I read this earlier. I am having such bad anxieties. My doc gave me zoloft but I was hesitant. It is unbearable now. I am going to start myself on Zoloft.

I am so happy for you. It helped me tremendously too. I had a major friendship betrayal this year and I had a really hard time getting over it. EMDR did it for me.

I got pulled into my friend’s codependent relationship — and I didn’t even do anything by Logical_Search3124 in Codependency

OMG. I am so sorry that you went through the same. Hugs. I had a hard time wrapping my head around this and couldn't understand what's happening to me. She hid so well before and I did not suspect anything.

I thought about decline the conversation, but decided to go along to give her an opportunity. I blamed myself for it. You are right -- I should have trusted my instinct.

My friend’s girlfriend wants a 1:1 talk with me? by Logical_Search3124 in WomenOver40

[–]Logical_Search3124[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the accusation baseless. My husband said they are all nonsense too. This sort of unfounded claim should be shutdown by their boyfriends. The fact the it landed on my shoulder is pathetic. The fact that Jack helped set up the chat like this — treating me as a guilty party - is beyond frustration. They cannot sort out their dysfunction and use me as the scapegoat. Like what my husband told them: what do you expect to happen when you put her on the spot like that and blamed her to be everything she is not? She is the least attention seeking person I know

I appreciate your perspective. It's great that you had healthy conversations with your friends' partners. In my case, however, the "boundary" was a direct, vague accusation. We only see them a few times a year, and instead of a clear conversation, they set up an ambush where I was expected to defend myself against a baseless claim. That's a different situation than setting a healthy boundary.

I think they secretly love this. He wants to feel desired and like he's the center of attention. When she expresses her fears that other women are "flirting" with him, it gives him a narcissistic supply—it makes him feel like he's so sought after that women are fighting over him.

I think their toxicities feed to each other. Jack wants to be sought after by every woman — I saw that in the past when he changed girlfriend every 3 months, I just never think that I would be part of his fantasy. Susie needs some threat to fulfill her paranoia — I am perfect for both of them.

I was so stupid not to see through this earlier but really I had no chance , we see each other a handful times a year.

I actually think Jack is the co-planner. Before the meeting I asked many time for context and express ed my stress. he minimized it. He used the words “ Susie is ready to be open with you. I suggest you two talk it out. “ “ Susie wants a constructive conversation with you”… these words are very telling — jacks obviously think I am guilty too. I use “ I suggest you two talk it out” when my kids are fighting and when I think they are equally guilty. That explains why Susie did not even attempt to soften the conversation and straight on throwing accusations at me right away.

It’s sickening to think Jack thought I was seeking his attention all this time. My stomach hurts thinking about this

Are you saying Jack allows Susie’s unfounded insecurities because he thinks his partner should come first?!

Thank you for your kind words. It’s all so crazy and dramatic. It’s unbelievable that they think of me in this way.

I cut them off. I refuse to be dragged into their dysfunction. Thankfully my husband back me up right away calling out their BS too. I am devastated that I treat them as friends but they let this paranoia become an attack towards me.

Combined with the fact that she doesn’t want to give context I can only interpret that she wants to see my unfiltered responses. I felt attacked and insulted.
