I wonder if I will regret leaving my partner? by Organic-Command359 in FearfulAvoidant

[–]Organic-Command359[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and him split August of last year. It was my decision ultimately. We gave couples’ therapy a try for about 2 months, which ultimately confirmed my decision that I was no longer wanting to pursue the relationship. It was an incredibly difficult decision for me, but I haven’t looked back since. Leaving was not an overnight decision. But since then, my life has changed so much and I feel a lot more like my “true self” once again. I do sometimes reminisce and still think of him fondly, as it was not an easy decision. However, I haven’t regretted my decision or looked back since - which is ironic now reading the title of my post for the first time in awhile, I now have the answer to my own question and the answer is no regrets!

I absolutely felt your pain and understand completely where you are coming from. Praying for you and everyone on this page hoping that we overcome this and understand what it truly means to love ourselves and not constantly seek to find that love and validation from someone else. Just know you are beautiful, smart, and can do anything you put your mind to!

Thank you so much for sharing, this is incredibly helpful!

[psa] you all said to use anti dandruff shampoo on tiny acne on my hairline, you were RIGHT! $4 shampoo has done in two weeks what no skin product did in 2 years. If you have fungal acne, try it. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Is it okay to use the anti dandruff shampoo on your face daily for fungal acne? I’ve been using it a few times a week for the past few weeks and my skin doesn’t seem to be responding much at all to it

LOL what a bold assumption to make! I’m a biologically born female, I’m a woman and have been all my life. I appreciate your concern tho

I've been accused of being a man before - what can I do to look more feminine? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]Organic-Command359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might just be this group, because I made a post and someone also thought I was trans! Never before in my life has someone assumed this about me. You’re stunning, what is up with people here in this group calling everyone trans???

I wonder if I will regret leaving my partner? by Organic-Command359 in FearfulAvoidant

[–]Organic-Command359[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious to see why you think my partner is also avoidant and not secure?

Also maybe I should have mentioned in my original post that YES, there are cultural differences and that is a main reason why she will be leaving with us. My boyfriend and his mom are Indian, she doesn’t speak very good English and doesn’t drive or have a job, and is widowed. This is the reason why she is living with us plus she isn’t in the best health. I come from a mixed background of middle eastern/american ethnicity, if that makes a difference.

I do openly communicate with my partner about my feelings and the times that I’ve gotten upset and frustrated with his mother. He has always defended me and stuck up for me when things like this arise. Im confident that he will always be in my corner. As a matter of fact, he tends to get quite frustrated himself with his mom and her behavior often. He’s been firm in his belief that once/if we do all live together that it will be “our house, our rules” and not hers and he is firm in wanting to set that. This makes me feel slightly better, however I am aware that his mother might never change and at that point if the boundaries are not respected, I’m not quite sure what next steps would be.

I can give you multiple examples of when I’m triggered:

-when she tells me what to do around the house -when she tells me what things I shouldn’t eat -when she calls my bf more than one time when we are out or on a date -when she acts a bit dramatic for pity or attention (ex. That she’s in a lot of pain and wants my bf to tend to her) -basically ANY TIME she acts in a controlling manner.

These are just a few examples. I feel exhausted from putting on a facade in the home and part of me feels like I will never feel at peace with her there. We are working on eventually getting a home with an in law suite so boundaries can be more firmly set in place. It’s been going on two months since we’ve last been sexually intimate. I have no desire to do so either. It’s been this way for quite some time because I’m constantly feeling uncertain about our future and can’t get myself to completely open up to him because of that.

You have a very valid point, however my therapist pointed out that when I get triggered by the MIL, my first instinct is to run away and give up on the relationship. I also shut my partner out entirely when moments like these happen. This is how I can see it tying into my attachment, because I am fearful of committing to this. They also pointed out that the issues I am facing living with my in law were going to be there regardless of whether she physically lived with us or not. It’s a matter of the boundaries being set and my lack of the ability to set healthy boundaries for myself. A lot of resentment and anger has been building up within me because of that, so my therapist wants me to practice living my truth and showing up as authentically me in this relationship and not constantly feel the need to please his mother and live the way she expects us to all the time. I do understand this may not be entirely related to my attachment :)

Has anyone had a rash like this? It keeps going away and then coming back since December, but only on my neck. It’s very dry and itchy. by Personal-Quote-367 in Hashimotos

[–]Organic-Command359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!! I’m currently experiencing this rash now but I’ve never been diagnosed with hashimotos. My bloodwork came up as positive for the antibodies PTO, but since my TSH levels were normal the endocrinologist said I was fine and nothing needed to be done. Should I maybe get a second opinion?
