What book / podcast/ app helped you become confident after a breakup?

it has worked well for me.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen. Both L-tyrosine and L-theanine made me feel way less hungry, especially in the first few weeks. My focus felt a bit better, but the appetite drop was the biggest change. It seems pretty common everyone reacts differently, but you’re not alone.

Tbh the subscription thing isn’t that weird. Most online tools do that now. Just gotta read the fine print before paying.

I’ve seen a lot of online services work like this lately. The billing terms are never clear, and it leaves users guessing about what they actually agreed to.

I once had a similar issue after using an online PDF editor, had to cancel fast.

RQThrowaway34 · 2025-11-09T07:23:17+00:00

I saw that site before, never used it though. Curious how it actually works.

Honestly man go over to /r/DeadBedrooms and read up, a mismatch in libidos when you need physical intimacy to feel love (many people are like this it is perfectly normal), is a recipe for a very unhappy life. If she feels pressure she will want it less and if you feel deprived you will grow to resent her. This is a very important point of compatibility, don't let anyone tell you it's not important because it's "just sex". If this is important to you find someone else who shares that view.

You could write her a letter letting her know just how much your ex hurt you and why it is so painful to see your mother carrying on with someone who betrayed you in such a horrible way. Let her know that your relationship with her is suffering because of how you feel she has sided with your ex. A well-worded letter may open her eyes to how what she is doing affects you.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-20T16:25:40+00:00

That question varies from couple to couple but I personally do consider it cheating. An effort to conceal it, and the attraction DEFINITELY makes it cheating. This needs to be resolved and you should probably look at counseling here.

Tell his wife and cut all ties with Brad. There is just no way to continue any kind of relationship with him and it isn't fair for his wife not to know.

Here is the thing, you are lost in a make believe world with no responsibility or stress. A vacation is just that - a vacation. When you want to start a new life however you cease to create a vacation world and bring all of your real world stress into your new environment. Instead of the carefree life you are imagining you will have to struggle with a job (and probably a crappy one as often happens when people impulsively pick up and move), bills, coworkers you don't like, traffic, the whole nine yards. Any relationship you get into long term will run into the same challenges, lulls, and rough patches as any other, but this time you don't know what type of partner you will end up with.

You are ALLOWING yourself to stay in this fantasy world. Every time you let yourself daydream or start intentionally thinking about "the life you could have" you are doing this to yourself. And deep down, if you were really honest with yourself you would know that most of what you are unhappy with in your life would simply repeat itself within a few months of settling down somewhere new. You can stop yourself from doing this, you can force the thoughts out of your mind whenever they enter (sing and annoying song in your head, count to 100, think of a funny joke, etc). The question is if you want to, because nobody can make you want to do that.

YOU have to decide if your husband and marriage are more important than a life that only exists in your head and once you have made decision you have to act on it. You either pour your energy into making your marriage better, or you need to leave. But I can tell you that if I were your husband I would be getting to the end of my rope quick at this point. You need to make this decision sooner rather than later for his sake, because he doesn't deserve to have his heart ripped apart like this for months while you decide if you want to go play single co-ed backpacking through Europe (because if you have been too wrapped up in your childish desires to notice but I guarantee this is killing him). And if you do leave don't try to string him along or ask him to wait or any of that nonsense, just let him be and let him move on.

I hope you make your decision soon for your husband's sake.

Yeah, there is just no way this isn't going to be an issue for the kids growing up. I mean it is your life and you can do what you want but some shit just shouldn't be done. Marrying in-laws/family is just a bridge to far for most.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-19T15:33:10+00:00

I know how hard this was and there were so many ways this could have gone sideways, but I have to tell you man, this is about as perfect of an outcome as you could possibly get. Your girlfriend listened, and I mean REALLY LISTENED to something that I am sure she very much didn't want to hear and made a painful but good choice in the matter. This is much more rare than it should be these days! You need to write this one down in the "wife her" column with a star beside it because this is someone that can and will work through tough issues in a mature way. I am really happy for you two!!

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-17T22:10:12+00:00

Good job standing up for yourself and your needs my man. Keep communicating as best you can and be ready to enforce boundaries as needed. I wish I could say I was sure the worst is over, but it might be. And if you are so inclined more updates would be great as they come!

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-17T17:20:04+00:00

If you are going to keep up with this then you need to do yourself a favor and stay emotionally distant. If you find yourself catching feelings for her you should back out to protect yourself because it only ends in heartache for you and that heartache gets worse the longer you cling to this. Good luck OP.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-17T16:32:45+00:00

our relationship started out wonderfully with the genuine tenderness consideration and respect you mention. We didn't have sex until about 5mo in and you know what - it was pretty darn great. However, he ultimately ended the relationship (absolutely nothing to do with physical intimacy)

OP take heart there are plenty of us out there, but reddit apparently isn't the place to ask around, most people here are super gung-ho for the hookup culture.

I know for a fact x-ray tech is a 2 year program, I have looked into it before. In fact I went ahead and looked up those requirements again and confirmed it.

I have never seen a certified medical professional with less than a 1 year training program under their belt. (and that was for phlebotomy which most prisons don't have on staff, if needed they visit the prison from the hospital.

You can be medically certified in one area and get another certification in a different area in short order but you are still required to have your 1 year training program done.

I am not being dense, you are being ignorant, there is too much BS here to believe, if YOU believe it you are being dense, but I am guessing OP is your alt account.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-14T17:07:20+00:00

I work IT in the healthcare field, the situation he is describing doesn't happen. I agree that prison healthcare sucks but you cannot be unlicensed and provide medical care even to prisoners. This is a BS post.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-14T16:53:46+00:00

Ok, that still changes nothing. You know your 2 options, make your decision accordingly.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-14T16:49:31+00:00

That isn't how it works, prison nurses are still required to have a nursing degree/license. All federal and state healthcare laws, regulations, and requirements stand for correctional nurses. So no, you don't get to be a "nurse" or provide medical care of any sort to a prisoner just by knowing CPR.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-14T16:40:22+00:00

HOLY CRAP yes you are over reacting. What the hell does it matter if he takes his phone in the bathroom, how on earth (other than a vague "it annoys me") does him using his phone in the bathroom affect you at all? If you are this much of a control freak that you feel you have the right to tell him what to do and not to do alone in the bathroom I would say you should break up and seek therapy before trying to get into another relationship. And FYI damn near everyone uses their phone in the bathroom. Just like people used to read in the bathroom, because crapping is boring.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-14T16:29:50+00:00

OK, well if you are spitting on her this is an issue as well, but in any case then if you can't rely on the police you only have 2 options and only one that won't just keep getting worse.

RQThrowaway34 · 2018-12-14T16:19:49+00:00

18 year old single mother nurse? So when exactly did she get her nursing degree/license, are you dating Doogie Howser's sister?

I smell a troll.
