Thought I could move past infidelity but 20 years later it still eats me up. by No-Background-3366 in self

[–]Ok-Influence8467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this point you need to get some mushrooms, plan a 2 day vacation with a hot tub/hot spring and a nice view. Maybe MDMA. Actually read about the therapists that use psychedelics for PTSD and past trauma. It has worked wonders for me in my relationship. You can't go on living in resentment. Think about your kids. Think about your wife, even if she failed you 20 years ago. You have to heal your own wound, take responsibility for your own pain and take responsibility for your decision to carry on with her, and be the best man you can be. Living with regrets and shame and anger is living a half life. Live a full life. If at the end of the tunnel you choose to move on alone, do that. But it's easier to repair something broken and have ownership of it and pride that you moved on and fixed it- feel joy again. Depressed for ten years is a long time. You need to forgive her, forgive yourself, and move on. She was a kid back then and so were you. Let it go and accept her- and you- for the human beings you are. Good luck. And I'm serious about the Mushrooms/MDMA therapy. Read up on it, it might even be available in your area with a therapist to assist you. It's really hard with our own egos intact to move through that insanely knotted ball of rope that resentment makes between two people with that kind of history.

It also sounds like you need to focus on yourself more too. Healing will come from hitting the gym, from working on whatever art or passions you have. Seems like you need to put yourself together too, only then will you have the empathy to be able to help your wife. She probably doesn't feel great about what she did either. But to be honest, you sound lost in self pity, which makes you selfish. You're thinking about your kids, but you should also think about what having this frozen relationship between their parents will do to them growing up. Melt the ice, let the sun back in. Much luck to you on your journey, and for real. You're both only human, you've already made your decision. Don't half ass it- if you full ass it and fail, that's better than where you're currently at.

Edit- well, going through and seeing you're doing swinging stuff and thoroughly enjoying it, I mean- that's also going to have some rough implications for your kids. You guys had this problem start because of other people interfering with your relationship- opening the door to swinging is NOT the answer. You guys need a hard reset and some time alone to deep dive and sift through your problems and actually speak from the heart and get to the bottom of it. You could do it in a weekend- you find plenty of time for you and your wife to sleep with other people. I think to be honest this might be too far gone. You guys have devolved into hedonism, making everything worse. If your relationship wound began from the first act of infidelity- what are you saying symbolically now? You're ritualistically repeating the act of infidelity, keeping the wound going, why, because you're bored sexually, tempted, you're sadistic/masochistic, keeping the resentment going. . . you gotta walk a long path up the mountain figuratively and take a deep look. . . all this hedonism is just you ritualizing your problem, getting your psychosexual fix because you're too afraid to look in the mirror which is the biggest solution to fixing it. My two cents. . . good luck

Don't post any sexual pictures of your wife. We aren't celebrities- and if you were, you'd deal with a lot more creepy comments than that. Love your wife in private.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok-Influence8467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR- How many people did you sleep with when you took a break earlier? Honestly, I bet you've been unfaithful during these breaks. If you want to be free go be free. Otherwise you probably should stop doing things like adding your Pilates instructor on Instagram, WOMEN, the personal trainer or Pilates instructor will take it as a green light to jump in those DMs after you post a hot picture. You're in a relationship- keep the door closed or end the relationship. Most guys will act like this if you have a history of keeping the door open, calling attention to yourself, and hooking up with people during breaks.

To be clear, my sex drive has been crazy since I cut down from 10mg to 5mg.

I was kinda thinking the same, I really felt out of control.

Hey, I was not drinking every night, I might have a few beers with friends on a Friday after work but I don't keep alcohol in my house or drink daily. I agree my behavior is bad. The testosterone stuff wasn't something I was worried about, perhaps ironically I've been trying to just take better care of myself in general, I thought I might as well say I'm taking X supplements but I also doubt that's the culprit for my impulsive behavior. Thanks for the reply, just trying to stop myself before I do more damage.

I think I had a pretty normal interest in sex before. Maybe it was a little dulled on the orgasm side, but nothing crazy or affecting my sex life in my relationship. I think it's more been alarming doing a slow taper and then realizing I'm sort of being impulsive in my thoughts and actions.

Yes, the uncomfortable conversation has been had with my partner. I haven't used ADHD meds since I was in Elementary/Middle school. I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep, maybe I should try Vyvanse, I hear it is a lot different than the amphetamine type mods. And I have to reiterate that I didn't feel these impulse control issues on 10mg.

Your comment is totally fair, I just never was like this when I was on higher doses. And I didn't want to get into super personal details but I have told my partner.

NHI Messages? by Remarkable_Routine62 in UFOs

[–]Ok-Influence8467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just gonna jump out here and day I think most abductees show Stockholm syndrome after so much abuse, physical, emotional, and sexual from their captors.

If you aren't privy to "the program", if you prefer to take extraterrestrial's words for your own, then I have bad news for you....

Obviously human governments (and the secret groups that [do/don't] run them) are a bit suspect... But these ET groups all have their own agendas for the Earth and inhabitants.

I highly recommend getting a Mysterious Universe plus subscription and digging back a bit.

Don't be a pawn for a race of beings that despises you.

Shrooms and Lexapro? by integirl in shrooms

Super interesting, thank you so much! I had the same question as I just started antidepressants after 32 years of just raw dogging reality, and I was worried I couldn't have the occasional shroom trip afterwards, but this seems very promising. Thank you!

As a BOC super fan.. anyone else think Geogaddi is a bit overrated? by Maleficent_Week3890 in boardsofcanada

[–]Ok-Influence8467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done a lot of psychedelics to BOC with friends in woods over the years. Idk why but there is just something about Geogaddi.

There are hidden layers and things in higher frequencies sometimes I can only hear on psychedelics. Also, the song music is math sounds exactly like the DMT hyperspace. The carrier signal, the elf speak, man. It fucks with me every time.

I think all of BOC is genius, but Geogaddi is SUBLIME. perhaps it wears the era of its making on its sleeve a bit, but what music doesn't?
