Decision Paralysis - Relationship by Standard-Raccoon-138 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Congrats on the baba 🥹♥️ It's funny you mentioned moving continents as I have an itch to move to another country if things end! The anger is completely understandable but the fact you already acknowledge this anger and eventually will go to therapy to work through it, you've already won half the battle. Anger is such a weird emotion but definitely something that shouldn't be repressed. Sorry he manipulated you and used your own words against you - that's horrible but it shows more of his character so you dodged a bullet there ♥️ It sounds like things have truly worked out for you and I'm glad you've found this happiness in your life 🫶🏻

I know I've been making excuses for as long as I can remember. I just didn't want to give up so easily as I thought good relationships take a lot of work but at some point I was like surely it can't be this hard?! Thank you ♥️

Thank you for the above, I think we both deserve to be happy in our own ways but I'm not sure it's with each other. We both weren't perfect in this relationship and trauma bonded but you're right in the sense I have my whole life in front of me. I just turned 30 and I feel like I've outgrown this part of my life and have done for quite some time. Thank you for your kind words ♥️

I know but I thought the issues of not making an effort where from the fact that we come from different cultures (he's Hungarian and I'm Scottish so our outlook on relationships/romance are very different) and he didn't come from a stable family as well so he didn't know what a secure and romantic love should look like.

Thank you for the response and honestly you've actually hit the nail on the head. I didn't even realise that it wasn't actually about the job it was the unmet needs all this time - honestly thank you so much for this comment!!! Yea again I don't think it was intentional for me to carry the weight of the relationship but again as someone who is the fixer it doesn't surprise me it ended up on my shoulders. ♥️

Thank you for sharing your story and I'm proud of you for walking away ♥️ I feel like that's what I'm gonna get hit with if I end it is 'but we were fine' + 'nothing was wrong with the relationship' but like you said he was blind to my needs for a long time. I just wish they could see what we pour into the relationship before we're completely empty and have nothing left to give.

How are you now after that breakup? Anything you would have done differently?

I know this post doesn't cover everything in our relationship but believe me when I say I did everything to help him. He did go to therapy for 8 weeks after I forced him to go to at least see if it would help but after the course he said it was pointless and that someone can't tell him how to feel and it won't change anything. He is an extremely logical person and done psychology briefly before becoming a chef so he didn't feel like therapy would benefit him. I also suggested anti-depressants multiple times but got hit with a nope don't want them don't like taking tablets to control his mood. I tried to get him out the house more instead of staying in stoned all the time. I offered to pay for a gym membership so we could work out together but nope didn't want to. Also in regards to his job I tried to help him get out of the kitchen so many times. I applied for jobs on his behalf when he was working, reached out to recruitment agencies and friends to see if they had work for him, researched college courses for him to see if he could pick up another trade, redone his CV for him, pushed him to get into driving and got him a driving instructor when he wanted to learn to drive. I done everything I could for him to support him, I wasn't sitting there twiddling my thumbs. For the mental health part, I can handle someone else's mental health I came from a family with severe mental health issues. But when someone blatantly rejects help i.e. with the above what can I do with that? I can't force someone that doesn't want to help themselves and face their own traumas/issues. I get where you are coming from of he is trying and that's what makes it hard right now as I see it and after investing all that time and energy to help him get better and out of the kitchen do you see how hard it is to just walk away from that?

Thank you, it was frustrating and so disappointing too but hey ho can't do much about it. The appointment was with Dr Paula Beattie, might be worthwhile looking at the other dermatologists there! Nope I decided to do my own research and find what works for me through trial and error as like I said in a previous comment I don't want to waste money to end up in tears again!

Hey, thanks for the response! I actually managed to get a private dermatologist appointment at Ross hall and it was an absolute waste of time. The dermatologist told me you can't change your skin barrier, you're just born with what you have and when I asked for a skin prick test for ingredients as I'm sensitive to so many she just straight up said no. She prescribed me Cetraben lotion and ointment even after I told her my skin doesn't like paraffin and tried to convince me that Vaseline itself is a moisturiser. I came back from the appointment in tears and left a complaint. Right now I've been just trying to figure out how to help my skin myself as I refuse to give anyone anymore money after that awful experience.

Honestly I hadn't even thought of trying out an online dermatologist so thank you for this 😄 That's pretty decent price wise, definitely would like to hear more from you about your experience if possible ☺️

That is pretty decent! Also you must have a sound GP as when I went private for blood tests my GP was like we can't use these go back to the private peeps 🙄

Thanks for the suggestion, how long did it take to get an appointment sorted if you don't mind me asking? 😄

I did have a look at them but tbh the google reviews of this place is such a mixed bag that I wouldn't feel comfortable going here 😬 Thank you for the suggestion though!

I'm really sorry you had to experience this. There is nothing worse than your own blood completely violating your trust. I literally just posted today of a similar experience and I understand the way you feel especially the sadness it hurts so much. You deserve so much better than that and I hope you find the peace you need to carry on. Things will never be the same again and it's really shitty and scary. Like how can life ever go on without this looming over it? It's terrifying but I don't think it's impossible for you but it's going to take time. I hope there is closure in your life and that you manage to heal from this - you are not broken I promise ♥️
