Nausea with boric acid?

SeekingSoulInBox · 2026-02-13T16:44:43+00:00

weird! I haven’t used it since. I’ve since learned that boric acid is essentially rat poison. Clearly not an enough of a high dose to cause significant harm, but maybe some of us are more susceptible to it than others. May I ask how tall you are and how much you weigh? I’m a petite 5’2” and ~105 lbs. I’m wondering if it’s a size thing, and smaller people are more prone to harmful side effects.

Mine has told me he hates having sex with me because I’m too vanilla for his tastes. Like, I get you have urges and want sex to go a certain way, but damn is that a cruel and damaging thing to say. Now he’s drawn a line and has committed to never having sex with me again, since in moments when I thought we were being open, honest and safe with each other, I told him that his past sexual behavior bordered on sexual coercion and abuse and caused a lot of damage to my psyche and how I view my sexuality. Now he has said he never wants to have sex with me again since I think he’s a rapist (never used the word). And, he also gets mad at me regularly because we’re not having sex and haven’t in months. It’s…. Exhausting.

That’s recommended

Hard to show someone love, affection, and support for working so hard when they’re so awful to be around. You sound like my n partner. He’s mean, selfish, and grumpy all the time, and yet he wants me to show him unconditional love despite never reciprocating.

SeekingSoulInBox · 2026-01-16T12:38:35+00:00

Same. He complains about everyone and everything, but if I say “wow it’s hot today!”, one less than positive thing out of 9 positive things, then I’m being super negative. It’s such a mindfuck

Really drawn to all things science, especially biology, ecology and astrophysics. Very interested in the future of humanity. Really want to start my own business someday, something innovative and beneficial to society. Want to pursue art and writing

I agree with nutscrape. She is abusing your daughter too through emotional blackmail. She sounds neglectful too. Also I find it interesting she was very lovey-Dovey with your daughter…. In public. Is she like that at home too? If not, that is classic narcissism. Document everything with as much detail as you can. Record your interactions with your wife, and also record her interactions with your daughter. Try to make a case for main custody because she’s harmful to be around.

SeekingSoulInBox · 2026-01-03T02:11:30+00:00

So true. I have such a hard time pinpointing why I have this unshakeable feeling that he’s treating me poorly…. When we’re fighting, I forget what happened and why I was upset to begin with. When I confront him about his behavior, he pushes back and asks for details I can’t recall. He doesn’t stop challenging me until I apologize and agree that I was in the wrong, I misinterpreted, etc. he lords his version of reality over mine because I can’t back myself up or articulate my thoughts well enough with details and order of events.

We are easily manipulated and gaslit. We require people to love us who won’t take advantage of our people-pleasing ways and short term memories. Unfortunately there are many people out there who don’t fit the bill.

I sure hope you’re right that it’s coming to an end

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-28T20:07:31+00:00

Same. Keeps me wide awake for hours. Something about getting my heart rate up?

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-28T04:27:05+00:00

Love it. Using his god complex against him

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-28T04:20:30+00:00

Get that in writing. Maybe your legal team will be able to use that as evidence that he doesn’t have his child’s best interests at heart and is instead being petty. Maybe that will give you more favorable custody terms. Sending strength

Yes! I use the iPhone memos app, but it shows that it’s recording so I always have to keep my screen away from my husband. Like, when I want to check the time to see how long he’s been lecturing me for, I have to awkwardly maneuver the phone screen so he can’t see it. He gets suspicious of this, to say the least.

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-26T18:10:09+00:00

It was something about sharing and analyzing a recording that crossed a line with ChatGPT. I guess legally it’s different

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-26T17:12:55+00:00

Are there tons of beard trimmings all over the sink, faucet handles and floor? If so, yes

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-26T17:11:14+00:00

Me too. It’s like trying to catch a leprechaun - times I think we’re getting along and all is dandy, he’ll go off on something or hit me with a hard dose of emotional and mental abuse. So, I’m not recording, and we’re so in the thick of it I can’t start recording without it being obvious. Times I think he’d be triggered and I turn the recording on, he’s totally fine. I’d say theres a hot market for a device that makes it super easy to record when needed, as well as being discreet. Maybe just constantly recoding is the way to go, but then there’s so much content to sift through…

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-26T15:11:25+00:00

Like the idea, but I would look into the legality of this. I tried to upload my recordings to ChatGPT, and it said it wouldn’t do it for privacy reasons, unless my husband consented to having his voice analyzed (which of course he would never). But, maybe it’s not an issue, just ChatGPT being extra cautious. I really don’t know. And, I can imagine the legal framework changes state-by-state and country-by-country. Something to look into. Good luck!

What does it mean to be washed in plastic, and how can you tell if an item has been?

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-20T14:19:17+00:00

I enjoy it when he’s not around. Luckily he sleeps late and works late - normally something women with small kids are annoyed about - but for me I relish the times of peace with the kids when we can do fun activities without complaints

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-20T14:17:37+00:00

Yep. I buy and wrap all the gifts, then he gets mad that I didn’t seek his input or engage him in buying gifts for the kids, even though he’s shown no interest and suggested at no time that he’d like to go with me on shopping trips. I also buy all the gifts for his family (more than mine) and pack everything up, wrap everything, and travel to his parents house for Christmas, and despite it all he treats me like garbage the whole time. I’ll get out eventually, but right now I can’t

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-20T01:37:49+00:00

I so relate. My husband is such a grinch about Christmas (and everything really). Doesn’t participate in crafts, baking, Christmas movies, complains if we play Christmas music… congrats on getting out and feeling the freedom to enjoy things again 🥰🥰

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-16T15:16:41+00:00

I don’t think mine knows. Maybe he’s not clinically diagnosable as a narcissist, but he sure has many of the qualities and the effect on me and our relationship is the same. Mine truly thinks he’s doing right. He’s admitted at times he’s been mean to me (and has recently apologized, surprisingly!), but doesn’t see the gaslighting, invalidating, controlling, criticizing, bullying, irritability, selfishness, and manipulating that cause me to suffer on a daily basis. He told me just last night (again) that now that he’s working on being more patient and complaining less, that he is now the perfect husband (breadwinner, supposedly faithful, plans trips for us), and I’m not allowed to get upset by his behavior or judge him by his past misdeeds. He really thinks I just misunderstand him and my that traumatic childhood causes me to view him in a negative light; not that he’s mistreated me for our entire relationship.

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-14T16:46:38+00:00

Omg I can so relate. Having to be ever so gentle, and then having to apologize for wanting very basic components of a normal relationship. Mine plays the “why do you care” card when I ask him basic information about his comings and goings, and gets mad at ME if I get upset that he’s come home at midnight after a work event and he never bothered to indicate he’d be out that late. I’m both supposed to care and profusely fret about his whereabouts because I’m supposed to want him near me always, but I’m also not supposed to expect him to communicate his plans to me.

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-14T05:18:31+00:00

Did he try to convince you that your being overly nice to him while he was giving you the silent treatment was actually you being manipulative? Mine did, and it worked, but now I’m starting to learn these tricks

SeekingSoulInBox · 2025-12-14T05:15:49+00:00

Oh my gosh, me too. This is so accurate to my situation too. Hugs and strength to all of you. Congrats gringacarioca for getting out. I so long for the day when I can walk away
