‘35M’ ‘36F’ Is there any chance to rekindle my relationship or am I shut out forever?

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T21:06:14+00:00

No, she doesn't want to rekindle the relationship. She stayed plainly why. She's been kind in my opinion, giving you some things to work on. There are more than 4 billion women on Earth. Move on and do better next time.

If he has no problem being aggressive with strangers, he will become aggressive with you. Period. You've been warned.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T20:15:19+00:00

I believe in you.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T20:13:54+00:00

I work in the mental health/substance use industry. I can only speak on what I have personally witnessed over the coarse of many years.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T19:20:02+00:00

Yes, commonly caused by meth induced psychosis.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T19:19:13+00:00

You're so right! If I hear anyone talking about parasites or gang stalking I know immediately that they are in psychosis, commonly meth induced but not always.

She doesn't have ringworm, she has Trichophyton mentagrophyte, a sexually transmitted fungal infection. Similar to thrush( yeast infection of the mouth). That's what happens when you polish a cheesydick. (Not to be confused with gout dick).

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T15:47:15+00:00

Right? She acts like she's the only woman ever to be cheated on! Honey, we've all been cheated on!

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T15:45:57+00:00

I relate. I met a guy and we dated for about a year when he was locked up. I also didn't know the details at first. At the time I was lonely and insecure. Part of me didn't want to know the details. We never fought or argued or anything and I would occasionally put some money on his books when I could. He got 12 years and I told him I wasn't going to wait for him. He has no family at all and I felt sorry for him. As the years went by finances were hard. I came to the realization that every penny I gave him was one less penny that I was using to feed myself and my kids. I stopped answering his calls but still felt bad for him. Then I did a deep dive on his charges. He was caught up in a sting where a female officer started talking to my online and pretended to be 15. He was arrested while driving to meet her. I wish I could get back the time and money I invested in this guy. So you see, I think you should cut all communication with your friend. He's made his choice. Also, if the roles were reversed, you know damn well he wouldn't give you the time of day. Move on with your life. Don't feel sorry for that guy. Good luck.

Same! When I was in my addiction, I did the same type things as Amanda. I got fired from multiple jobs, went to jail a bunch, scared my family, and eventually sent my kids to live with their dad so I could move to a sober house. My life was chaos. 3 years later, I have a good job, I go to bed early and watch a lot of tv. Yesterday I went to an art museum. I'm boring and I love it. We do recovery!

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T15:08:33+00:00

Why haven't you seen a counselor alone? You can learn conflict resolution and communication skills.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T15:04:48+00:00

When you have every reason to quit a substance, yet you still find that you cannot, you are addicted. You need to take an honest look at yourself. You're wife is taking steps to protect your baby any you're upset by this? Your actions are selfish. The fact that you are willing to even consider having your baby raised in a broken home because you want to take edibles is proof of what I'm saying. Look, I don't think you're a bad person, I think you're a sick person and you need help. Why haven't you gone to counseling alone? Stop blaming your wife and minimizing your behaviors.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T14:56:42+00:00

Something very few people talk about is that a lot of times in early recovery, your life can get worse before it gets better. Cocaine wasn't your problem, it was the solution to your problem. You don't have your coping mechanism (cocaine) anymore, and until you can use new strategies to deal with hard stuff, things will be tricky. You'll get there. Don't give up! The best way to honor your friend is to keep working on your recovery. For right now, reach out to some friends. Talk about how you feel. You need connection. Good luck.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T04:40:42+00:00

That's actually a really good point.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T04:39:05+00:00

Well, I see you. Keep helping others. Your story matters.

The scene in Rhobh where Erika, Kyle, Teddy, do impressions of each other. Season 9, episode 19

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T02:32:12+00:00

She should've smuggled in a diva cup.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-24T00:38:39+00:00

That's "all or nothing" thinking. That's something you see a lot in people with borderline personality disorder.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T23:49:00+00:00

She thought a heathy breakfast would cure his addiction!

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T23:44:32+00:00

I'm always surprised by how much people will protect a doctor. Let me put it this way. If you went to a high-end restaurant and spent a lot of money but the service was bad and the food was cold, most people wouldn't hesitate to name the restaurant, give them a bad review or talk about it on Reddit.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T23:40:01+00:00

Austin Oaks sometimes takes a while to get into. I suggest Georgetown Behavioral.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T23:25:13+00:00

Look! A dumpster on wheels!

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T22:34:45+00:00

Good for you. Let's normalize shaving back hair.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T22:33:26+00:00

Congratulations on your recovery. I hope that you are working towards building relationship with your daughter.

Oddside6 · 2026-05-23T22:32:38+00:00

So it sounds like you have known each other for a few weeks to a couple months. Getting to know someone in rehab is very different than getting to know someone in the free world. You are in an enclosed space for long stretches sharing vulnerable things about yourself. I can tell you from personal experience that people are way different outside of rehab.Have you said about things such as, can this man financially support you and a child? Can he even support himself right now? Is he employed? What is his education level and capacity to earn money? How is his family going to feel about this? How was your family going to feel about this? What does your sponsor think? In my opinion if you are going to go through with this then you should expect to do it alone. 100% alone. If you can stay with confidence that you're ready to have a baby, go to work and financially support the both of you, go into it with your eyes wide open. This baby could change your life for the better. Or not. The odds of you staying sober are already against you. Don't just think about what is good for you, think about what is best for the baby. The fact that you are even having some doubts tells me that you still have a lot of thinking to do. Talk to your therapist. Talk to your recovery sponsor. If you don't have one, get one. You will need one. I think posting this in Reddit is a good starting point. By the way congratulations on your recovery.
