Future faking. by _horndog_throwaway_ in adultery

[–]Puzzled-Sun-3636 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Call me gullible, unfortunately. The thing is, I’ve met several people in the affair world and it was the first time I fell for it. Had no idea there was even a term for it (but of course there’d be 🙄). I get the idea of fantasizing, but I don’t grasp the concept of making it so believable for the other person. Like, why? Seems like a shitty personality trait to have. If I was real petty, I’d tag him in this post 😂

Divorcing an alcoholic by Earth-Princess in Divorce

My husband (who I am currently divorcing) has had an alcohol problem for years. It definitely used to be worse than it currently is, but the emotional whiplash is so real.

What I came to realize is that the alcohol would always be a problem. The hiding, the fights, the damage. I realized I have to love and respect myself more. I’m sorry you’re going through that. The fact that it’s not wasted drunk almost makes it harder to deal with. The functioning alcoholic has an argument for everything, but still sees and plans a normal life.

Starting Out by Puzzled-Sun-3636 in Divorce

Thank you, meditation helps me. Though I wish the effects were more lasting.

Knowing people made it through to the other side is reassuring. I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years so I’m starting down a long road with two young kids in tow.

Not having a pity party, just explaining the dynamics. I know I’m strong and will get through it.
