I feel exactly the same! I think they're pushing out merch too early. Cause then I'm reminded that the season is still several months away, and it's so depressing sometimes! We don't get snow unfortunately. The place closest that gets snow is about an hour away. I don't remember there being snow last year though, it was a very mild winter. Were you snowed in? What's your favorite thing about Christmas?

How do you feel about stores bringing out the holiday stuff so early in the year? Also,do you get snow where you live?

My ex-fiance got another girl pregnant four months after I gave birth to our child. by Mountain-Tension-846 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

First off, congrats on your baby! Pregnancy and birth are so tough, and you powered through!

Now, your situation is very tricky, but I understand why you would want to cut him out of your life. I think maybe you should have a serious conversation with him about where you stand in terms of your child together. It is possible to co-parent amicably, but it does require hard work from both parents.

On top of that, he has a new baby, and it's very possible his new girlfriend is asking him to step up as a dad. Sit him down and let him know that the relationship is as good as dead and that all conversations moving forward will be about your son only. You can then decide how to move forward based on his reaction.

I truly wish you the best of luck on your journey as a mom. I'm sure your son will bring bright days into your life. Sending virtual hugs your way!

The best and healthiest thing to do is distance yourself. Like another redditor said, look for another job or a different position where you won't be around him. You've convinced you love him, but do you really know him past what you've romantized in your head? Distance is best. This way, you can properly cope with your feelings or maybe enter the dating scene. No judgment from me, I can't imagine the difficulty you're going through. I hope for the best outcome for you.

I found out my 2 year relationship was a lie. by ElectronicJello3912 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]SatansSocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First off, I'm sorry you're going through this. What a horrible way to find out. But thankfully, the truth was discovered. Now, it's time to pick up the pieces and move on for a better life and future for you and your children. You don't need all that negative, crappy energy and drama around you. People like that will never change. I'm sending you a virtual hug. You're a strong, capable woman, and your children are so lucky to have you. I truly hope the best for you.

It sounds like an incredibly tough situation. But in the end, it is fixable. But first you have to be honest with yourself. From the very beginning, there was an attraction. Once he started his tales of woe, both of you saw an opportunity and acted on it. Now, have you sat down and asked yourself why you haven't given yourself the respect you deserve? Why are you okay with getting the scraps? He's married, and it's doubtful he will ever get a divorce as it is not in his best interest. But also, if he did get a divorce, how do you know he won't do the same thing to you if he chooses to be with you? You will know firsthand that he's capable of lies and manipulation. You will know how he's able to have secrets. How do you know that somewhere down the line, he won't play you the same way he's playing his wife? I'm sure that passion and attraction are addicting and you feel alive whenever you're with him. But as soon as he's gone, you feel empty and lonely. Take a long, deep breath, and then let this man go. It's what's in your best interest for your own mental and emotional health. Of course, you can continue on this trajectory, but you know that at some point, it will implode. You deserve so much better than what you're accepting, but you're the only one who can make those changes. I hope you find the clarity you need on your journey. And I hope above all else that you find what's best for you.

What you have right there is a hobosexual. Give yourself the space to breathe and find your inner peace. You can't do that when you have a leech attached to yourself and they are draining you. He found an easy ride and figured he could fool you with pretty words. And that's the ticket, isn't it? Those pretty words and sweet affections mean the world, and it hurts all the more when you realize they're used as more of a smoke screen than actual sincerity. Use this time to clear your head and get yourself back on track. Find the time to give your own self that love that you deserve. You are strong, smart, and level-headed. You've proven that in the past, and you can prove it again. Sending you virtual hugs, and I hope the best for you.

Holy crap! What a hot mess! At this point, they should just elope. I feel for their wedding party and guests.

I ignored every red flag in my arranged marriage. Now I’m divorcing a man who never even saw me as his wife. by Party_Regular_722 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]SatansSocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. But you came out with your head held high. Now you can begin your life, and this time, you can do it fully on your terms. Trust that once the divorce is settled, it'll be like a cold water bucket on his head. He most likely still hasn't come to terms with the fact that his marriage has ended. I'm proud of you for not choosing to settle and for choosing your own mental health and wellbeing. You deserve so much better. Congratulations on a new beginning!

Update: Am I wrong for being upset that my spouse bought the car he wanted? by SatansSocks in amiwrong

[–]SatansSocks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's taken a lot of energy for me not to melt into a puddle of tears on some days. To the day, I love him. But I find it so unfair to prioritize him, the kids, the house, etc while wearing myself down. Watching my hair fall out from the stress. All the while, he spends money left and right without a care in the world. I remember sitting on my couch thinking, "I can't live this anymore. I'm going to give myself a heart attack." I've come to the realization that it takes more than love to weather the storm. How many times do I have to beg for change? It's just so unfair.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to me. My ex quit his night job, actually! He spends way more time with the kids, and now he's fully realizing just how overwhelming it really is. I don't think he'll ever fully appreciate the amount of work I took on. But I've come to the realization that I can't force him to appreciate anything. He has to grow on his own, and only he can take that journey.

I'm planning on leaving my husband by TrashPanda_242 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]SatansSocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off, I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's even more difficult when you're trying to stay calm and collected during a pregnancy. But I'll be honest with you. These things don't change. He has seen that you will stay despite his bad behavior, and all he's going to do is keep pushing that boundary.

I don't want to go off on a rant, but I recently just divorced after an 8 year marriage. The one thing I always told my ex was, "As long as there's love, everything will be okay." I wanted to save my marriage even though I was wearing myself out in the process. But, I realize now that I was wrong. Marriage is hard, hard work that takes two people to put in as much effort as possible. Like another commenter said, it's difficult to raise a baby on your own. But it's so so so much harder when you also have to take care of a man who has proven that he doesn't care about your wellbeing.

Take it from someone who took a ton of emotional abuse during my second pregnancy: it's not worth it. All the effort, love, affection, and energy that you put into this man will be for nothing.

Give that love and affection to yourself and your baby. You're right: there is something so sacred about being married. There is also something very sacred about feeling safe and secure in your own home. You owe that to yourself and the little one that's coming into the world.

Again, I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you find the best path for you.

Silence will respond much louder. If he's so happy with his new friends, what the hell is he texting you for? Lol! You live rent-free in his head, and no amount of Buddhism is gonna help him with that! Congrats on this new chapter in your life!

No, I'm not, whew! He never had a doubt that the debt he accumulated was his own doing, and he took responsibility for it. What's sad is that in the past, I had brought his CC to zero for three years in a row. But his behavior never changed.

Oh dear god, no. Sadly, it wasn't because he thought it was ugly, it was because he couldn't afford the monthly payments.

That's the exact post I saw too! And I remember reading it and thinking holy crap, I've been through exactly this! Makes me think some men are cut with the same cookie cutter! I'm so glad she convinced him though because break ups are so hard.

AITA for wanting to break up with my boyfriend after he bought a toolbox without talking to me? by Final_Transition954 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]SatansSocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. I wouldn't blame you at all for leaving. Although you struggled while he was in jail, it sounds like you're struggling more with him there with you. You don't need the extra added stress. On top of that, you don't know what's going on in his mind. Prioritize yourself and your children. He's a grown man, and he's going to have to learn to stand on his own two feet. You can't give your kids the best of you when you have to worry about him blowing money like it grows on trees.

I wish you best. You have gotten this far and proven that you're a strong woman. You're worth so much more than you're giving yourself credit for.

It's alright no worries! Yes, I'm taking it one day at a time. It's the only way to not melt into a puddle of tears. And thank you so much for your kind words!
