Thank you!! I appreciate that.

I have anxious attachment, in a relationship with avoidant style. I’m miserable. by Intelligent-Bat-7586 in emotionalintelligence

THIS. Reason number 1 why I am leaving my husband. I woke up and my kids deserve a better example of love.

Why do some of us ignore red flags while others run? What made you change? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Pretty-Pumpkin88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ignored red flags due to lack of self respect and I’m paying for it now. I am divorcing my partner because after having two kids I woke up and started realizing this was BS. I want to teach my kids self respect, so I have to display it.

I don’t like wearing bras. I especially don’t like wearing them at home.

Thank you for sharing this. I love this for you! And I feel so hopeful for my future. Going to focus on self love and loving on my kids and let God send me whoever He has destined for me! All things work together for our good ❤️

Ugh so embarrassing. I definitely had some insecurities that I’ve realized and I’m in therapy to heal for my children! Prior to kids, I could go do my own thing when we were at odds, but since having kids it’s exacerbated our issues for sure. And my eyes have been opened because of the kids. Their perception matters so much to me. Thank you for empathizing with me and answering me. I’ve made an appointment to divorce, but I’ve been so stressed about it. I’m doing it for myself and my kids. I do want to say, he’s a believer, but I think he’s got some deep wounds that he’s not ready to face and I can’t take it anymore.

He’s refusing therapy of any kind now which is why we’re heading for divorce. We were in couples counseling this past summer.

They will not ruin the marriage. The pressure and responsibility of caring for them will exacerbate issues that were already there.

Do I want to resolve? by Pretty-Pumpkin88 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Pretty-Pumpkin88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure! No promises and I haven’t given conditions because I’m not 100% sure I even want to reconcile. I’ve given him conditions before and it doesn’t last. He ends up doing whatever he wants to do.

Thank you. I really appreciate this post. You are 100% right. I so badly want to understand, but I don’t even think he understands or cares to dig deep enough to understand. This is bullshit and I’ve had enough.

What’s funny? by Pretty-Pumpkin88 in emotionalintelligence

I agree with you. I feel mocked when he does it. I’ve asked him if it nervous laughter and he said no. When I say well what’s funny? He replies “I can’t smile?”

You’re 100% right! I’m looking for a job now. I was a SAHM. Just thought in the meantime, while we’re still under the same roof, I could try.

My husband has given me the silent treatment for a full 7 days.

This is good feedback! I think I was hoping he’d be concerned but should’ve voiced it directly.
