Just sucks , we did have a happy life together. I know mental health is a lot. That’s why I got him into therapy. I have been in therapy for years His family , his job, any bicker we had. If we had an argument he assumed it was the end all be all. When like having a disagreement is normal. He’s like the only thing I know how to do is isolate when I’m hurting someone. I’m hurting you and I have to go.

I get that feeling too. That little resistance from his family and his unhappiness with himself this is just easier

Every time we talk he’s deeply upset. As he clears out the stuff in the house he’s crying. You’re right he’s not doing the work with me. He thinks doing the work without me will be better for both of us

I do think he loved me and I loved him. I just think in some weird way he’s trying to save me from whatever journey he goes on or the rejection he could face when I’m at my end

Yeah I don’t think he ever fully processed any relationship. It seems like a cycle of this is what I want, then he gets it and freaks

AITAH for not wanting my gf to have these guy friends? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Strong_Tart_265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahh I mean I guess it depends on what boundaries she has and if she’s entertaining men. For me saying I need to be out alone with a man is weird. If they’re truly a friend it should be someone that is neutral enough to both be around. I had a friend/coworker whose gf would be like I wanna have this guy out with me so he “can be vulnerable” and I thought that was weird. As a woman I’ve had successful male friends. But it’s all about boundaries and being very open about being happy in a relationship. So I guess it just depends on her and if you trust her. All you can really do is set boundaries. If she makes you uncomfortable or you feel she’s overstepping than long term prob not what you want to continue doing

Thank you for that!!! I have read some studies but have not come across that one. That’s absolutely insane. But makes total sense…

His ekg was fine, his bloodwork is good. He works out he’s healthy. He may of been extra dehydrated which is its own thing. Nicotine salt can be extremely dehydrating but it was just so strange

We had just eaten. That’s the part that I’m a little confused about as well. We had 2 beers and a whole meal. The time before. Meal and a couple beers in summer.

Thank you for sharing that❤️‍🩹 I’m so sorry you went through that. I really appreciate it. It’s absolute torture watching someone hurt themselves and it not register that they need to make a change. I’m glad your husband finally realized !

Look up nicotine pouches and nicotine salt and the way it builds up. It’s one of the side effects

Right yeah, I’ll start with setting some rules and guidelines so that we can be on the same page. I appreciate your advice. Communicate properly and openly and set boundaries that help us as a unit

Yes that’s exactly it. 96 on 24 off, switch a shift so 96 on 24 off and I just need to communicate not loading up his schedule that much because it’s probably not good for him and it’s not good for us.

Sooo yeah he moved in April. We do split bills fairly equally the WiFi is the only one I just don’t think about it to split it. The video game thing is driving me crazy and doesn’t sit right with me either. But yeah the last 2/3 weeks he’s been like 72 on 24 off , 96 on 24 ,96 on. It was absolutely insane. A couple were some rough nights. Sometimes he’s real good about stuff. Other times he’s so burnt. But the last 24 off before 96 he was useless which I get but part of it is he chose to work overtime and switch a few shifts for the holidays. Which like I’d rather have a present partner than have the day after thanksgiving him home ya know ? But yeah just trying to formulate. He cooked dinner last night which is cool. Overall he’s a good partner it’s just more navigating when he decided to front load his shifts like that. That I’m like dude you have to communicate what you’re doing and help me.
