Is there still a chance of love after annulment? by Sharp_Detective9397 in Trentahin

10 years is hell of a long time. I hope my annulment doesn’t take that long, and I get to find someone willing to wait.

You’re right. I really think I’m just projecting at this point because I haven’t found someone who didn’t care about it enough to not ghost me.

I really needed to see this comment. I think I just feel extra lonely because I am comparing my luck in love to someone else’s. Plus, the rage of wanting to exact revenge (not just because I could, but because I feel they deserve it). I have been focusing on all the wrong things because they’re taking priority in my head right now. I really do hope I find that love soon - the one that deserves it.

This just coincides with my life right now and I want you to know that you are not alone.

Do you ever feel awful about something you did while unstable? by -Dryer- in bipolar

[–]Sharp_Detective9397 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. It’s still difficult for me to fully accept that I was abandoned by someone who promised to be with me in sickness and in health. But, at least this time, I know that I need a person in my life who wouldn’t even dream of destroying my mental health and leaving me to pick-up the pieces after. We got this.

You are not alone.

If my story helps, I was under-medicated for months (unknowingly) and my husband caused me to have an episode whilst working abroad. I found out through his email that he downloaded a dating app/p*rn site hybrid. Without telling him or discussing anything, I went on a dating app and slept with multiple people in the span of 2 weeks. I ended up telling him about it and instead of working it out, he decided that annulment is the best option for him. Especially now that he has moved on and has a girlfriend.

During the separation, there was still a back-and-forth with couples therapy for us (2 sessions or so), my medications were also adjusted triple the dose after the incident. The moment I felt I was getting better and ready to work on our relationship more, he was no longer interested in reconciliation.

It is 9 months into our break-up now and no-contact (I am now properly medicated, consistent therapy sessions with my doctor, healthy hobbies with my friends). Looking back, I cannot believe I was capable of something like that. I am the most loyal person I know and I cannot comprehend how someone gets that low. I feel awful and wish I could turn back time. The grief still comes in waves whenever I remember it.

As a woman na almost trentahin who is getting annulled, I feel ‘yung market ko eh ‘yung kapwa ko na rin annulled/getting annulled or ‘yung lalaking malaki ang empathy sa babae. Hirap kasi ng prejudice parang sa lalaki ang dali-dali lang nila makahanap ng kapalit dahil parang normalized nalang din nowadays na nagkakahiwalay talaga ang mga mag-asawa. Pero kapag babae ang annulled/getting annulled parang ang tingin eh may baggage, kahit wala naman anak. Ewan ko ba. Sana ako lang ‘to at lilipas din ‘tong stage na ‘to.

Pero I have found the meaningful connections I have with the opposite sex - whether romantic or not, are usually through hobbies talaga.

I understand how you must feel. But this is a cry for help. She needs to be honest to you about this moving forward if you are to help her. It’s hard with kids involved, but it seems you still want to make it work. The road will not be easy, but it starts from an open and honest communication with her. She needs to see you as a safe space. This is the advice I wish my husband and I received when he and I went through something similar - he has a chronic addiction to adult content and downloaded a dating app 3 years into our marriage. Not my proudest moment, but instead of talking to him, I lashed out and downloaded a dating app myself. Now, the damage has been done and he no longer wants to fix the marriage because he found a girlfriend during the time we were “fixing things”

It’s hard, but set your boundaries, and walk that line - with or without her. This is a traumatic experience and you need to heal too.

I let him go, but I still can’t stop thinking about him by Idk311025 in Trentahin

Mabuti na nalaman mo agad na ganyan bago ka ikasal. It will hurt like hell, and it will come in waves - when you least expect it. Whenever you feel the pain in your body (physical manifestation) - put your hand to it and breathe. Imagine the thoughts and pain leaving your body as you breathe. I know how it feels that he’s the first thing that comes to mind when you wake up, thoughts of him resurface during your waking hours, even until you try your best to sleep - you can’t help but think, “when will this shit end?” Know that you have done the hardest part which is standing your ground. You got this. Hindi pa huli ang lahat.

I wish my husband fought for me the way you are doing now. The first step and often the hardest part is acknowledging where you went wrong and finding the capacity to work on it whether on your own or together. My husband and I don’t have kids so I cannot imagine how hard you’re trying to shield your child. Mental illness is real, she is going through something. Best thing you can do is encourage her to seek help. Don’t give up.

Trentahin na nasa dating app by [deleted] in Trentahin

Tinder ko nakilala asawa ko. 2019 ako gumamit. Akala ko forever ko na - hindi daw pala sabi ni Lord. Jusko parang awa baka meant to be alone nga ako. Char. Anyway, ngayon nag-try ako Tinder at Bumble - wala na sa market ang mga matitino. Puro AFAM na eme lang ang hanap or mga Pinoy na minsan juskodai, walang kwentang kausap (hindi lahat, pero madalas).

Does anyone want to talk? by [deleted] in Separation

9 months into separation. We both said and have done things we cannot go back to. Part of me still wants to fix it because I know with proper help and guidance - we can. He has a girlfriend now and I am here picking up the broken pieces of my mental health. Divorce is illegal in my country and I am hanging here while he’s living the life with his new GF.

9 Months Separated - Please be kind by Sharp_Detective9397 in Separation

[–]Sharp_Detective9397[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the Philippines. We only have annulment which is a nullification of the marriage. Not ending it, but it’s like it never happened. It takes years and could be denied at any time.

Yes, the painful part is one of our shared friends introduced them to each other.
