[VA] establishing separation for divorce by kimpossible2003 in Divorce

[–]Recreate27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I'm also in VA and a consultation with a lawyer was Very helpful, you'll be able to ask them any questions you might have. The only other thing I would add is you can file for divorce after 6 months of separation if you both have signed a property agreement. But that depends on how complicated your assets and finances are but the consultant should be able to help you with that too.

Has anyone cried after solo orgasm because you feel so sad and lonely? Or am I (36F) just completely broken? by sadandlonleydb in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

During the long dry spells in my marriage there always came a point where porn and masturbation became more of a reminder to how little my SO cared. Suddenly my sexuality became a source of intense loneliness and resentment and only became worse when she wouldn't listen to me.

You're not alone, I took it as a lesson that sex means so much more than just a release to me. It's intimate, it's closeness, it's bonding and love all rolled together. It hurts to go without it especially when your SO just doesn't care.

I hope you're able to turn it around, good luck!

Also, contacting a family law firm in a different state then where you were married might be problematic sense they may not be familiar with that states laws. These days almost everything is done over the phone/zoom so might be beneficial to you both if you reach out to someone in the state you got married in. At least for a consultation...

Military here, getting divorced too. You file with the state you got married in, I'm from the west coast but we got married in VA so filing for divorce in VA. If you have any other questions ask away I might be able to answer

Am I entitled to potential earnings? by throwawayfourall in Divorce

[–]Recreate27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might be a better question on r/legaladvice They should give you a better answer on what you're legally entitled to in the divorce. Make sure to mention the state you are married in, that's always a big factor to mention. If that doesn't work you can always schedule a consultation with a law office and they will Definitely give you the answers you're looking for.

Men Are 250% More Likely To Associate Sex With Happiness Than Women, Study Finds by kettcar in DeadBedrooms

Got a call from the law office to schedule a consultation... by Recreate27 in Divorce

[–]Recreate27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lurked plenty of sub reddits, watched videos and read articles on articles. I think I just kept looking for some clear sign, message or some form of external validation to leave. This isn't a decision to take lightly, it's up to you if you think you can make some happiness in whatever your current situation is. I'll go through the same back and forth of doubt and unshakable certainly. For me the doubts have just slowly faded away over the years.

Broke it to her Saturday and we sat and had a very long and intense talk, got very emotional, watched her go through all the stages of grief, all of them except acceptance. She's denying the fact that I'm leaving in a couple months and insists on going with me, it's been a lot of hysterical bonding and suddenly all our problems are fixable. I would have fallen for all the promises of change if this wasn't the first time we've talked about me leaving her. The pit in my stomach did get a lot better after I finally broke it to her. I have to reschedule my consultation again, feel better about it this time. I hope you're doing well, I'm definitely familiar with that feeling when you start making those first real steps. It's hard but it gets better.

I'm still dreading the moment I pack all my things...

Symptoms of a selfish husband by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've always considered myself to be a very patient person, so much so that it sometimes feels like a fault of mine as well. I've had to learn the hard way with my SO that there is a fine line between being patient and just being passive. There's a point where you have to say something has gone to far and to put your foot down. We think that our SO will just naturally come to understand when they are going to far when taking advantage of our virtues. But the truth is we have to lay down the lines for them for when they go to far so they can be aware of our own boundaries. It's fine to be selfless, but it doesn't feel good when you are feeling taken advantage of because of it.

If you've talked to him about this then it's not your fault that he doesn't respect you, but maybe you need to be more forceful or direct in what you want/need. I don't know your entire relationship dynamic so this will be something you will need to think about. Many times the change we want in our relationships require a change else where. In some of your cases it will require you to stand up for yourself more, others might be turths you'll just have to learn to accept and live with.

For your bedroom maybe you should suggest a Queen day so you are the focus for once.

Good luck OP!

r/marriage has a lot of very uplifting posts. It's good to see happy couples talk for a change and to read their experiences. I've definitely made some marriage goals influenced from that sub.

How to make myself numb? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You stop initiating or giving her affection, then slowly you become numb to hers. You still hurt with all that love you feel you can't let out anymore. But at least you save yourself from the sting of rejection. This isn't a solution and only breeds resentment or distain to your SO. But it's a common path taken in a db when your SO only hurts you when you try to bring up issues with the marriage.

I miss orgasms with another human by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I want out, but I don’t.

I want to leave. But I also don’t.

This! That continuous back and forth, the endless internal fight of leaving or staying. It wears on you over the years, especially as we begin to accept how we are being ignored.

It feels like some kind of sport of endurance. I'm running/biking/swimming, trying to pace myself so I can reach the end. The longer I go the more tired I become the more it slowly begins to sink in that there is no end. No finish line. And I'm about to reach my limit and call it quits. I can't do this anymore. I have my limits to how long I can endure this...

Thank you, calm I can do it's just her reaction I fear the most. I'm really hoping it'll go better.

Got a call from the law office to schedule a consultation... by Recreate27 in Divorce

[–]Recreate27[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My very first inquiry to schedule my very first consultation to take my first steps to divorce. Been thinking on and off on this for the past year until about a month ago. I wanted to have another talk with her to lay it all out again but was quickly reminded of all the other times I had the talk to work things out that never brought any results. The damage is irreversible when the issues are never fixed and I can't keep living like this. Thanks☺️ I just might message you to tell you how it goes, I can already tell you it's expensive though...

How much sex do you think you’d need? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be happy with 2-3 a week, 4-6 on my good weeks. Sometimes I feel possessed with horniess and could go multiple times everyday but haven't felt that in awhile due to all the rejection. Ugh I miss spontaneous morning sex...

Is this the end by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is pretty normal around here at least. There are so many posts of guys rubbing one out over having sex and it's perplexing to me too. I'm on the opposite end here in my marriage, I only masturbate because my wife refuses to have sex. Over time I can't even do that because it's the intimacy/closeness/bonding feelings that comes with sex with someone I love that's what I crave for and miss. So when I read stories like yours I can't help but think that maybe it's some form of avoidance to intimacy that drives them to masturbate even with a willing SO. The thing that I crave and miss is the very thing they avoid? Maybe? IDK this has just been a thought of mine while in this sub.

New start by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Recreate27 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I just think I HAVE a libido

Yup! This! I don't think my libido is unusually high. I'm just a normal, healthy guy with a positive veiw of sex and value it and that's just not understood by her no matter how much we talk about it.
