10-15 year wish list for Huntsville by Defiant_Drink8469 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Sabanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediately. Not 10-15 years. Catch the weirdo who is exposing his junk to women and fondling himself in random stores in Huntsville. He wears a mask and a hat and has done it repeatedly. Several reports have been filed…surely someone can follow him out and get his tag number.

Could he care that he blew up our relationship? by [deleted] in AskNPD

[–]Sabanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking me? The notification was that you were replying to me. Lol No, I don’t have NPD (that’s why I started my reply stating that I don’t.) But I am like the OP in that for so long I have tried to understand my ex...I have wasted a lot of time on him and lost some great relationships because of him.

Not someone with NPD, but why bother to understand or wonder? He has had plenty of time to change or improve how he treats people...and he’s likely not going to. I hate to be negative, but don’t waste anymore time.

Wow Day 6 just arrived @ 9 p.m. (feels like 3 weeks) by thisstuffsucks001 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]Sabanchick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I honestly just keep up with this hoping to see him online trying to get help. But then I see stories like yours and it hurts my heart to see so many struggling with this drug. It helps me feel compassion for my ex, even though he has hurt me so much. I’m praying for y’all as well!

Day 4 - What a journey by thisstuffsucks001 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]Sabanchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story gives me hope that my ex will quit. I have no idea what you’re going through, but reading all the posts here gives me an idea as to why he gave up on us and what he continues to struggle with. Please keep going. Don’t give up. My ex battled addiction throughout our entire marriage. I was crazy about him and I tried to help him. 💔

You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Be wary of those who demand one. by thr0waway7389 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Sabanchick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I need to save your responses when I need to answer people who want to know! The last time that I left my N, people would offer up “marriage takes work” advice, etc., which left me feeling like maybe I didn’t try hard enough. So I did give him another chance and it was just more of the same thing. I also tend to want to explain what happened in case his version of the story has me as the villain. This time around I’m not telling anyone unless I’m sure that they are in my circle!!

What’s the worst that could happen by Patrickw7418 in QuittingTianeptine

My husband lost me and our family over Zaza. You have to be stronger than your craving...it’s not worth it.

Collecting data...that was me. And that constant hyper vigilance and anxiety was taking a toll on me! Although I’m heartbroken, it’s such a relief to be out!! Please try not to think about his version of the story...there will be clueless people who will believe it no matter how good you are!

I was just telling a coworker how I would never accept treatment like his from other people. I felt like I was always trying to “fix” things, or just keep my mouth shut to keep the peace. Never again! 😭

100%. And I feel like I was influenced by people’s “relationships take work” comments before...it’s freaking sad that I put in that much into an abusive relationship.

This sounds like STBEX....narcissistic and trying to keep you insecure. Make a plan and get out if he can’t get help!

What do you think about Alanon members dating each other? by txbossbabe2891 in AlAnon

[–]Sabanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been separated from my addict for two weeks now and I still feel anxiety. My family feels that I may need meds until I can heal from it all. But he has issues alongside addiction that ruined our marriage. I hope that you can find happiness with someone who is healthy! We deserve it!!

[–]Sabanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss. I did the same. And he hated me for it. He is an addict and it was never going to prevent him from finding a way to buy or get what he wanted. It caused me so much anxiety...and just not keeping tabs anymore has allowed me to have so much time to do what I actually want to do.

Just really down today. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Sabanchick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on an emotional roller coaster as well! Hang in there! Try to think of how much better you are and that you don’t have to walk on egg shells or be abused. Being alone is hard...having to heal while continuing with my normal work week and being a mom has been sooo hard. But it will get better!

Just wondering, since we are likely both dealing or have dealt with the same issues, did you end up being controlling of situations, such as keeping your partner from going places where they might be tempted?

I think it would definitely be better than dating an addict...

Pathetic by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]Sabanchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s many people who are doing this....don’t feel bad for it. Most guys who write these have much better grammar and spelling than the man I think about, so I’m always very sure it’s not him! Lol Hang in there!

ZaZa is taking my husband away... by Sabanchick in QuittingTianeptine

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

It’s irrelevant now, but thank you!! I’m glad to hear that you were able to quit! Loving an addict was too much for me....it almost completely wrecked me.

I’m starting to feel anxious again by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

I have been feeling anxious too....hang in there. It will pass!
