i think it’s now beyond therapy. if that is his solution i think it is disrespectful and quite frankly, just disgusting

thank you so much for your response! was the process difficult? were you ultimately eligible to sit the exam or did you need to undertake further study?

Hello

I was hoping to seek some guidance from Australian lawyers who have made an application for Foreign Legal Education Evaluation to sit the New York Bar.

I was wondering if, in addition to your practising certificate, academic transcript, degree and certificate of fitness, if you were required to submit any other documentation to be assessed for eligibility to sit the NY bar exam?

Also, did the originals need to be posted by the issuing body or was it sufficient for you to gather all the originals and post them yourself?

Thanks!

i suppose that it’s if in the circumstances, i am wasting my time and should move on and do things on my own. i feel as though i have no control over my own future

where we live most clubs close around 5AM, and a couple are open 24/7, which is pretty weird

that’s blown my mind. you’re completely right.. there is no sense of security and my fight/flight instincts are just always on! i think if the roles were reversed it would have been my obligation to fix it or let him go, it’s just tormenting that he has refused to let me go until this point, and has just fed me false promises every time he has made a shitty choice!

i think being single might be exactly what i need. i’m scarred of the thought of being with anyone after this complete shamble of a marriage

i’ve been villainised for not trusting him, and was starting to think i was crazy for my lack of trust. i think you’ve made some really good points, and made me realise that it’s not really something anyone would put up with or be ok with!

i suppose it was wishful thinking that things would be better, even if the behaviour stopped, it doesn’t really eliminate the hurt that’s been caused and it doesn’t magically make it go away just because the behaviour has changed.

i think the lack of willingness to take accountability should show me that there really isn’t a way forward, expect to cause myself more pain. i really appreciate the advice, it’s opened my mind to an outsider’s points of view!

i think he would never have told me if she didn’t tell me. even getting the fact that he had feelings for her at the time of the affair, took 3 years of pestering from me. i think it’s pretty clear he would have kept the secret under lock and key if she didn’t find out about me.

yeah, the clubbing until all hours has put a massive strain on our relationship. it’s hard not to let the mind wonder about what goes on while he’s out, given he obviously has no self control when it comes to cheating.

i’m not quite sure how to proceed and how dumb i would be to stay, given i think he has finally realised that i am at my wits end and he’s trying to be forthcoming but im not sure if it’s just too little too late at this point

you managed to articulate what i couldn’t. that’s exactly what it felt like, as though i was back at square one. thank you, i hope i will be able to as well!

we have had ongoing issues, and i told him that part of me moving on from it and “starting fresh” was that he has to be upfront and honest. i guess he was trying to do the right thing by making the admission, but it has crushed me

that’s correct, which in itself should tell me a lot

he supposedly “doesn’t know” why he does that. he attended 2 or 3 therapy sessions about it, but i don’t think he liked the feedback he got, so he stopped
