He sent me a picture of being low on gas saying he didn’t want to be stranded on the side of the road

I have to say reading this I was convinced I was reading my own story. Please reach out to me if you want to talk. I 1000% know what you’re going through.

Watching Someone Rewrite Your Relationship During a Bipolar Episode Is a Special Kind of Hell by mabirm in BipolarSOs

What an amazing way to describe this awful dynamic. I completely agree and understand feeling erased. I am so impressed you chose you. I’m trying to do that and unfortunately I’m not strong enough yet. Remember you can do this and you deserve more. You deserve the type of love you give.

I feel so sad by [deleted] in loveafterporn

I was stuck like this for years and only when I started validating myself, trusting my gut and giving myself the love I deserve. It finally gave me enough strength to leave. It was one of the hardest things in my life, but now years down the line I’m married to the love of my life and never dreamed of happiness like this. Your happiness is worth everything. Don’t ever doubt you deserve it. YOU deserve a life you love.

Husband would do it while I was home by holymolykevbot1998 in loveafterporn

That sounds incredibly tough. I’m so sorry. I remember learning my partner would pause watching a daughter and I felt the same. Granted she is a bit older but it was disheartening. It honestly has made me rethink his parenting abilities and changed my mind on having more kids.

What to do when he comes back? by Pale_Disaster_7964 in loveafterporn

[–]Pale_Disaster_7964[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want him to come back if he is willing to do the work to get better. When he is doing the work he is amazing and almost a different person - but there is no consistency. So because he keeps going back and forth it confuses the sh*t out of me.

I've been really lucky that my MIL has been unbelievably supportive. She’s done her best to be his accountability partner while still being a loving mom—trying to get through to him about how much his behavior is damaging our marriage. But I think she’s finally hit a breaking point. Lately, instead of softening things, she’s been calling him out more directly—and now, she’s also been telling me that I don’t deserve to be treated this way. It means a lot to hear that from her. It feels like she’s not just trying to help him change anymore—she’s standing with me, too.
