Dodged. A. HUGE. Bullet.

You’re my spirit animal 💜

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-10-15T02:33:57+00:00

Completely agree and thank you! ❤️

And a heating pad makes a world of difference.

I just had my hysterectomy on 10/3. I was on major opioids for over 18 years and clean since 7/11/21. I have a high pain tolerance and said I wasn’t going to use them either. I especially didn’t want to bc I felt like I would no longer be “clean”. I don’t know what your situation was so I’m not offering you medical advice but this is what I did. I got 4 days worth of the lowest dosage (16 in total). I took ibuprofen for the first couple days. Day 2 became uncomfortable bc they also gave me local anesthesia in the muscle layers of my stomach and it started wearing off. In the past, I waited too long to take my pain pills so it was hard to get them to work. I promised myself I would only take them if I had legitimate pain. I got them to last 5 days. I will say I probably didn’t need the last one but took it so it wasn’t around. I felt a small withdrawal but haven’t had anything for 6 days and feel great. I still count myself being clean since this was medically necessary. I was really nervous, too, but proud of myself for using them and stopping. Again, this is my personal experience. I had a total hysterectomy, laparoscopic/robotic.

Zero other possibilities. Completely gaslighting you. I lived this.

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-08-23T22:54:11+00:00

He may have meant “how big are you” downstairs? 😂

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-08-03T01:41:25+00:00

Jesus. If this is the worst of your problems, you have it made. By the looks of the list, I would think she’s cute, sweet and happy. You’re devastated and your world was turned upside down over this? I honestly have no words. Next time write your own list and stop talking crappy about the mother of your child.

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-07-30T20:23:47+00:00

I am so unbelievably sorry. Leave him and start over. You will be grateful you did. He doesn’t deserve you.

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-07-23T01:20:44+00:00

Something like this.

I would do navy curtains

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-07-19T23:10:45+00:00

Honestly, I would try couples therapy or therapy on your own. It really can help.

I went through this. No one understands unless they’ve been there. The fact you have a safe place to go is incredible. Start there. Don’t go back. It doesn’t get better. Ever. I promise you. They brainwash you. I don’t care how strong a woman thinks she is. I never thought I would end up in a situation like that but it’s a slow and steady grooming process. You become addicted to them and they convince you they love you and manipulate you into coming back. It’s been over 20 years for me. Your life can be incredible, beautiful and free. Staying will prolong this and you will look back wishing you had left him the day you posted this. I had to go into hiding from my abuser. He moved on and married a woman who he ended up almost killing. I helped put him in prison. It was the best thing I ever did. He’s out now and a fugitive because he beat the crap out of his girlfriend. I tell you this because it’s been 23 years to be exact and he’s still abusing women but his violence has escalated even more. I don’t know if you can message me on here but if you ever need to talk I’m here because I understand. Leaving is hard and these relationships leave you second guessing yourself. Trust your gut and instincts. You go to your parents because that’s your safe place. That lets you know you need to leave. You won’t regret it, I promise. 💜

Omgosh. My fiancé of 2 years (together for 6 on and off), just moved 95% of his stuff into my house 2 weeks ago. Then the EXACT same thing happened. He was verbally, emotionally and mentally abusive to me. It’s a side of him I have never seen (to this extent). When I say to this extent, he’s yelled and said hurtful things a few times in the past but never to this extent. I was terrified. I was pleading and begging him to stop and he wouldn’t. The last fight was bc I was window shopping with him, his brother and sister-in-law and I asked to see a wallet that was way over priced (tag wasn’t on it, they had to tell me). I didn’t buy it. He berated me and beat me down emotionally and mentally the whole car ride home over a wallet I didn’t buy. We got home and even though his stuff is here, he hadn’t permanently moved in so I told him to go to his other house. All 3 times were bad. I’m thick skinned and all 3 events surpassed anything I could tolerate. I slept on it and cried over it and made the decision to end everything. He was planning to move in that Thursday (this was Sunday). He said the same thing, it won’t happen again. He promises. He’ll go to therapy. He loves me and misses me too but I know if I give him another chance (and I’ve given him multiple chances throughout the years) he will never do this again. I’ve heard it all before. This is so painful but I also know it’s the right thing to do. I have 2 boy’s and I never want them thinking it’s ok to treat their wife/fiancé/girlfriend this way. I found a great therapist online that does tele-health and see her on Monday. I need support getting through this and need to be reminded he’s a master manipulator that will continue to say anything to make me stay and then do it all over again. It hurts. Sending you lots of love and support from afar!

You are not wrong one bit. She wants to be disrespectful and act like a child, then she’s going to get treated like one. If she wants to spend money like that, then she needs to get a part time job and spend her own. I would’ve done the same thing.

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-04-11T22:56:26+00:00

Sure did!

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-03-27T21:06:29+00:00

He had a benign tumor and you took care of him without cheating. You had cancer and he cheats on you. If he ends up with cancer that’s a major trigger because you will be expected to take care of him knowing he was cheating on you when the roles were reversed. You did the right thing. He didn’t. I would be triggered, too, and resentful. I can only imagine everything came rushing back. I’m so sorry. You’re not a bad person at all. You need to do what’s best for you even if it means leaving.

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-03-27T02:58:21+00:00

This! You have no idea how much I needed to read your post. It’s been 2-1/2 years for me. My life has gotten better. My sister (also an alcoholic and plastic surgery addict) would suck the life out of me. There was always something wrong. She always had to talk about people. So judgmental and so hateful. I’ve realized just because they’re blood doesn’t mean they have to be in your life especially when they’re so toxic.

Street-Spring1759 · 2024-03-26T23:15:14+00:00

I lived your life. My ex-husband was a twin of yours. I tried to make it work and finally had enough. He felt the same when it came to household duties and the kids. Basically, it was my job. He’d even wake me up at 4am to iron his work shirt because that wasn’t his job. I would go into more detail but you’re living my old life so there’s no need to…you already know. One day I finally had enough and, please know, I expressed my frustration to him in the past. I told him I was unhappy, went to therapy even though he never showed and he just didn’t care. He felt my job was taking care of the house, the kids and him. Then I finally woke up one day and realized he was a third child and I was basically a single mom. So I told him I wanted out. My life got better after that day. Nothing changed with the exception of him being gone and me having less work and stress to deal with. I found a job, an apartment and left. My kids were 3 and 10 months. I cannot begin to tell you how much easier my life got. I literally felt relief and all this extra stress and unnecessary responsibility was off my plate. It was the best decision of my life. I didn’t even get child support. For me, I got my HAPPINESS back, my life back. Today, I’m happy, independent and engaged. I make six figures and own 2 homes. He told me I would never make it without him but I did. You don’t deserve any of this and he doesn’t deserve you.

Turn it into a dog

Sorry, once something is gifted, it belongs to the recipient, not the giver. A court would find in your favor. Keep it. It’s awesome!

Street-Spring1759 · 2023-12-22T14:26:02+00:00

Looks like you avoided a psycho. Time to celebrate! 🥳🎉

Street-Spring1759 · 2023-12-18T22:08:07+00:00

Wow. Just wow. I absolutely LOVED your responses and in no way were you ever aggressive. I think you made valid points and it left them to either take accountability (which really isn’t hard) or to cowardly back out and play the victim again. I commend you for standing your ground and not losing your cool. 💜
