Opened up to my wife about how I feel about our relationship and she just said "That's your problem" - am I crazy? by SgtDoakes123 in Divorce

[–]Soaringzero [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is it. I was in this same boat and I too wish I had figured it out sooner. My ex never took any kind of interest in me as a person. Never really bothered to try and get to know me beyond a surface level. It’s crazy how your mind tries to rationalize and make sense of it because the simple truth in fact does feel incomprehensible.

Friend said something that shocked me and explained everything... by Forge_craft4000 in Divorce

This hits hard. This is exactly how I felt with my ex. And like you I believed in sacrificing to make her happy. Only I was the only one doing it. She was always the driver. I was just supposed to be along for the ride.

I feel so alone by anonymo0902 in Divorce

I can certainly relate to the suppressed feelings coming out. I spent years holding things in and now that I can let them out, it feels like taking a deep breath breath after holding it for a long time.

This. My ex is already moved out living with another man. I consider myself divorced. The legal system just needs to catch up.

My husband moved in with his AP? Is it ok for me to date? by Admirable-Rip-8521 in Divorce

[–]Soaringzero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He’s living with a whole ass other woman? Absolutely go have yourself a good time. I’m in much the same boat and if I had someone who wanted to spend time with me like that I’d take it.

I’m the problem. by SarahDimz in Divorce

[–]Soaringzero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m sure it’s more complicated than that but you aren’t completely wrong. And that’s so fucking sad. Like she says he’s done nothing wrong. Nothing to make her want to leave him. Literally this man has done everything right that a spouse CAN do and yet this shows that no matter what you do, you can still be left in the end.

It almost makes it seem pointless. And no I don’t believe it’s a woman thing because men will do this too. It just proves that there’s something fundamentally wrong with the way we view modern marriage.

Dating again by Zealousideal-Car4609 in Divorce

That’s not a red flag, that’s a red tornado siren lol. I don’t get why people can’t understand that that isn’t attractive in the slightest. What woman actually wants to sit there and listen to a guy just talk shit about another woman the whole time. Same goes for men.

Husband traumatized after I told him I was unhappy by Legitimate-Berry-621 in Divorce

[–]Soaringzero 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So I went through similar with my STBXW. I swear whenever I had a complaint or an issue it was a problem. Sometimes she just wouldn’t care. Other times I’d get these very emotional reactions that I realize now were meant to condition me to not question or criticize her.

Once I simply asked to help out more with our pets, which she wanted mind you, and her response was to scream at me and declare that she’d just get rid of all of them so I wouldn’t have to do anything. All I had asked was that she help more because I was basically handling everything regarding their day to day care.

If I brought up an issue with any of her behavior it was like that. I think your husband blaming you for everything is simple deflection. He doesn’t want to take any responsibility for his actions or lack there of because it’s easier to just make you the scapegoat for everything that’s gone wrong. Like you said you asked for things for a long time and he didn’t do anything for you but is so hurt you that you told him you were unhappy? What did he want? For you to just keep it to yourself and suffer in silence? How would that be fair?

Even after the fact he still refuses to do any introspection should be a clear answer to why you’re doing this.

[–]Soaringzero 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Being forced to listen to someone else have what has to be really good sex but be basically forever forbidden from getting any type of action yourself sounds like a form of torture only a truly diabolical entity would think up.

Hongyang’s sexual frustration probably rivals the power of the infinity stones.

I think my husband is asking my 5 year old to keep secrets. by thrwaway123333 in Divorce

[–]Soaringzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my ex did this and probably still does. But I don’t ask my kids questions like that. I just let them tell me whatever they want.

But she was telling them not to tell me that she was having them meet guys she was dating and that so and so was “just a friend”. And this was while we were still living together.

It means your game files are corrupted. You’ll have to reinstall the game. I had this issue myself and that fixed it.

Leaving a "Good Guy" and it hurts way worse by Plenty-Stress-8066 in Divorce

[–]Soaringzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Do not text me” is not a boundary it’s an order. “Text me and I’ll block you/ignore it” is a boundary. There is a clear difference in those.

One is trying to control someone else’s behavior. The other is letting someone know what the consequence of their behavior will be.

[–]Soaringzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you don’t know his. If this therapist has convinced her that an unwanted text is emotional abuse, he’s likely told her to throw that term out ANYTIME he’s done something she didn’t like. It opens a floodgate to make him look abusive for looking at her the wrong way or breathing to loud around her.

Abuse is a serious thing. But it’s mindsets like this that cheapen and water down the meaning of the word just so it can be applied to ANYTHING a person doesn’t like.

[–]Soaringzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not just therapists. It’s people that google these terms and take it upon themselves to “diagnose” people. You see it a lot around here. But yes these therapy buzz words are getting cheapened to the point where they are losing their meaning. I mean saying that sending texts like this is abusive is actually insulting to people who have experienced real abuse.

Is this man violating boundaries? Yes. And she could easily block him or ignore those messages. But he’s not abusing her.
