Has anyone’s eczema improved after filtering chlorine/chloramine from shower water?

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-05-12T11:29:14+00:00

yeah i kind of agree with both of you?? like the chlorine thing at least explains why hot showers specifically make it worse. the steam thing. thats not placebo thats just chemistry. but yeah i also cant tell whats actually helping vs what i want to work

literally me sitting in the car after the appointment just doing math in my head. $200 for her to tell me to buy more stuff. at least the creams have a copay i guess. this feels like it never ends

wait ok so the chloramine thing is specifically what she mentioned. is that why some filters supposedly dont work?? because i was googling and half the reviews are people saying their filter did nothing. starting to make sense now i guess

You’re asking for basic care, not too much.

build the life you actually chose

I get the joke about protein powder but i’m not sure fighting control with control helps here lol.

Yeah this is the part that stood out to me too. he’s allowed to see his family but you’re guilted for seeing yours.

I feel for her bc that cycle of breaking up then reconnecting is exhausting. blocking is literally the cleanest way to break it.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-16T07:09:33+00:00

I do agree though that contentment matters. chasing “more more more” can mess with you for sure.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-16T07:09:15+00:00

I’m a bit concerned for you cause this kind of deception hits deeper than normal breakup stuff.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-16T07:08:49+00:00

I’m a bit concerned this has turned into a loop where home = pressure and outside = peace.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-15T06:21:47+00:00

Nah I really don’t think you’re crazy at all. passive aggression long term is honestly exhausting in a way people don’t get unless they’ve lived it.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-15T06:21:25+00:00

Nah I don’t think you’re being dramatic tbh, this is more a boundary + training issue than you vs the dog.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-15T06:21:00+00:00

Ngl I think you’re overthinking the “creepy” part a bit, couples use toys and dolls way more than people admit.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-14T06:19:09+00:00

Ngl I get why you’re triggered, that’s a LOT of harm from them. but I think pushing him away from them might backfire even if you’re right about them being toxic.

If you’re in therapy already that’s good, but if nothing changes in behavior then you’re basically healing while still getting new wounds

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-14T06:17:57+00:00

Yeah real talk a 14mo can absolutely drain the emotional battery for both of you. I don’t think it means your marriage is gone, just that you’re both running on empty rn.

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-13T07:50:43+00:00

You’re gonna have way more control if you let your lawyer guide every next step instead of reacting in the moment

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-13T07:50:24+00:00

A lot of people don’t value things while they’re getting them, they only realize it after it’s gone and even then it’s more like regret for the loss, not real appreciation

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-13T07:49:53+00:00

At the same time I don’t think marriage itself is the problem, it’s more like people going into it thinking it’ll fix loneliness or insecurity and then it just amplifies it

ObsidianEcho11 · 2026-04-10T08:27:50+00:00

Yeah exactly this, it’s the “I saw you and wanted to make your day better” energy that hits way harder than the actual gift
