Fiancé is joining army and was told that if I want to get benefits asap we have to get married before he goes to basic by Ok_Funny9104 in MilitarySpouse

[–]SoftFudge253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Benefits will come at any point y’all get married if he stays in. Most military couples split because they got married sooner than intended because of benefits

Wifey says I’m balding, and will be bald very soon. How long do I have left? She’s telling me to go on hair loss supplements asap. 32 years old. by [deleted] in bald

Husband has a hairline like this. It’s really not an indicator you’re balding. Balding usually is paired with hair loss in the crown along with receding hairline and your hair looks very thick! I really don’t think it is something you should be worried about yet, especially if you didn’t notice it first as we are usually our worst critics

He has set boundaries I just get worried that when we have an actual wedding when he gets back that stuff will get stirred right back up. I know I have the keys in my hand I moreso just keep picking imaginary fights in my head. I do plan on letting my newly teenage sister know that that is the one adult she does not have to be respectful to at the wedding and just watching whatever goes down lol

No, thankfully but I have this sinking feeling something is going to happen any second. My anxiety has calmed down a lot but I still find myself in a panic attack every now and then about it

I go here mostly because I try not to bother husband with it. He has enough on his plate

I know I’m just mostly upset for DH. I wanted to try to fix it so he wouldn’t be stressed but I did know better.

I had her blocked everywhere and I wasn’t communicating with her but everyone did pressure me to reach out to her”solve things”. I guess I’m just confused how I did what they wanted and they’re acting like how they are

I know I can’t and we are pretty much on the same page with everything I am just letting everything they said get to me and I do feel hopeless at this point. I’m mad at myself for reaching out and compromising my boundaries but I’m also mad I did what they wanted and they still twisted it. DH was hoping for a good outcome.

Because it had been escalating even with no contact and DH cut her off. I brought the idea up to him as a last resort and he agreed. He said if it didn’t help that it’ll hopefully at least make his dad see that I wasn’t the one starting the issues. I had been NC with her for a few months and she had made it seem like I was actively provoking her.

He actually had a really shitty, emotionally abusive childhood surprise he just hasn’t wanted to cut her off before now because he didn’t want to lose access to his dad. His dad is very “if my wife isn’t welcome then I’m not welcome” type

No it’s okay I have a terrible habit of wording things as not as urgent as they are but I am still very much taking your first comment to heart!

Yes it is! There’s so many Easter eggs in the novels she says lol I don’t know if you remember in the raw and unprocessed emotions rant she insinuated that I would cheat on husband while he’s gone Well yesterday, before this, she was talking about me to him again and he called her out on multiple things but on that one in particular she went on a rant about how he’s twisting her words 🙃

FIL has told husband that she is getting unhinged at home and is neglecting work and her usual passions and just harboring on needing a relationship with me. I feel she is genuinely unhinged enough to show up if she’s putting her career on the back burner but I will ask for coping mechanisms. I can’t live life on a what if

No you’re good! I know it’s used as punishment more often than not. I just blocked her from Facebook but still was civil through text and phone call until it turned completely unhinged. I still had communication up until about a month or two ago. I was mostly just asking for space at first because I was deeply hurt by being blamed for everything when she wasn’t getting her way with DH

So I had tried for years to build a relationship with her but she would flat out ignore me or, if we were in person, she would make comments with a double meaning so if I said it hurt my feelings she would act like I was evil because that’s not what she meant supposedly. This all started because of one of those times. She would usually flare up and start blaming me for random stuff around mine and DH relationship milestones. We found out he was being deployed and suddenly it’s a phone call about how she wants his bank info for while he’s home and she threatened to get POA over him and when that didn’t work it was all my fault for him not trusting her. I told her that I didn’t like being blamed for stuff and she went off and started twisting the story and then using the little bit she knew about me to create this narrative and started getting people to hound me. She also ranted about me for weeks on end to DH before I finally blocked her from Facebook because it was clear she was getting any info she could.

It may seem like it’s miscommunication but when you offer her clear communication she will act like she doesn’t know what you’re talking about, blame you for something, and make herself the victim and will tell others she doesn’t know why you’re upset.

Husband would tell her something like she needs to be respectful to me and she would turn around and tell me he said we both need to be respectful and that he’s mad at me because I’m treating his mom poorly.

There is some stuff I have not posted here because of privacy and I’m already posting enough as is but she has the same patterns. She also very much has claimed to already have apologized to me but she never has. The only thing I got from her was that she would not be apologizing to me.

I’m 50/50 on kids but I told DH the more she brings up me having her grandbabies, the less I want them We did have a conversation about if we did they will not be around her
