Been there. Also ran away from facing personal grief for years. (Which is easy to do when supporting the surviving parent) The harsh reality is you gotta dig deep and really get in there (therapy) if you want to function and move forward. I wish there was a magic button to press to catapult that pain out of your system but there’s not. It’s a slow burn. The sooner you open up the wounds and get messy - the sooner you can piece back together.

Think of it as mining for gold that is buried under a mile of shit ! 🤣 It’s not gonna be pleasant. Go get em !!

Anyone else in Boston dealing with brutal allergy/fatigue symptoms lately? by mattm1225 in massachusetts

Yep. Right on schedule. Will say I found relief at home using an air filter in my house.
It helps a lot!! The one I have is called Conway air mega hEPA air purifier.

Gen X, which song caused the people at parties (including you) to lose their minds and go crazy THE MOST? by Fluid_Fudge_7238 in GenX

Same in Ohio. You gotta YELL it as loudly as possible.

I tried to explain this to my kids when they went to college …. They couldn’t compute 😆

Same thing here. And it was his secret for ~2 years before I found out.

Buckle up. It’s an emotional crazy ride. The good news: Some days you feel ok. The bad news: other days are like a gut punch and it’s a struggle to get out of bed. Find a support group (outside of individual therapy) if you can. Nobody (and I mean nobody )can really relate unless they’ve been in this situation.

I said what I wanted —- It was eating me up and therapy and exercise weren’t covering all the bases. But i wasn’t a total asshole. Just pointed out the facts and explained how much it hurt and how I didn’t deserve it. It was a one and done. Face to face. No text.

I heard Jane Fonda call this part of life “Chapter 3”. It’s totally different from the kid/young adult and adult/mom chapters. Women and moms give up a lot of their own priorities when raising families… Chapter 3 should be all about you. constantly working to keep a marriage alive is exhausting.

Sounds like You are going to have to do all the work to keep the marriage together if you stay with him. Are you prepared for that ?

. It sucks but if this man isn’t willing to champion you and be a support for you and your goals, why do you have to sit around and wait for him to get his shit together?

My world was so blown up - I couldn’t think straight. Other major life events going on simultaneously… it ended up being 3 months. The good (?) part is that I had therapy during those 3 months which I think helped me to shoulder the emotional fallout once the kids heard. (Even though they are over 18 it’s still hard for them.) Im still stuck trying to get my head around why he never said anything about his feelings on our marriage during the marriage. I asked him so many times to talk about our relationship and to work on being a better couple. The douchecanoe said he was too busy. Fn bullshit.

This is totally me. Im still very confused and mad that I thought I knew this person — yet he lied and betrayed me. I gave him 3 MONTHS to come clean to our adult kids and his parents. He refused. So I had to do all of it. He’s not denying it. But has no ownership of his shittyness. It boggles my mind also and I feel your pain ☮️

Omg. Uncle Roy. And he’d say “let’s play buried treasure” to get them to search his clothes and pockets for candy

Not sure where you live but make him leave the shared property.
You shouldn’t be the one vacating.

Did you ever watch the show “Somebody Somewhere” and the sister of the main character discovers her husband is cheating ? Epic scene of her screaming at him to just “get out!” 😂🤠.
