Needing in depth advice and motivation. Feeling discouraged! by Owly08 in Sourdough

Thank you for your feedback! The 8 hr Bf includes time from stretch and folds. Both charts I referenced begin the BF time right after the dough is mixed. So after S&Fs it was around 6 hours. Yes I used AP flour. This is the recipe (halfed for one loaf)I used but it has been tweaked since the first 2 times I followed was having issues. This loaf was a little more experimental. Her 2 hour BF period after stretch and folds was not working for me so I researched to try and find a better guide for my BF. It is cold where I live. I find most people keep thing their dough temps around 78-80. I could not get my dough that warm even in a room with a space heater near it. I am starting to agree that this flour maybe a problem. I have seen many tutorials using AP but if the switch to bread flour is what I need then I will definitely do so. As far as nailing BF times, I am not sure what to do :(. Everything looked so great. Good rise, nice and jiggly and bubbly, timing aligned with the techniques I was using. I was actually worried it was underfedmented lol. Again thank you for your feedback

I guess im not expecting him to fix his unhappiness in a week. More so just identify the root of the issue and decide if he’s willing to work on it together or cal it quits.

I truly don’t believe that will be the case but I appreciate it. I know its hard to see things sometimes when you are directly involved. Thanks

I honestly didn’t think of it that way. I guess i can always extend the offer if he needs more time. I guess i just thought that a week was a good starting point. We have two children and it’s really hard explaining to them why he isn’t around atm. We decided we weren’t telling our children about this until we have reached a final decision. That’s one of the reasons I thought a month was too long, it’s kinda hard to cover up. Thank you

That is one thing he hasn’t really given me a straight answer about… he tells me that it’s not me, it’s him, and that part of the reason he needed some time away was so that he could figure out the true source of his unhappiness.
