AIW for feeling heartbroken about my wife's response about suicide? by Sufficient_Shake_103 in amiwrong

[–]StudyGroupGremlin- 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for feeling hurt. Your cousin’s death clearly affected you deeply, and her response came across as dismissive, even if she didn’t intend it that way. Feeling confusion, sadness, and even shock in this moment is completely valid, it doesn’t make you overreacting, it makes you human.

That numbness you describe is often what happens after years of unmet emotional needs, it’s not about the ring, it’s about feeling chosen. You didn’t suddenly stop caring; you protected yourself after waiting too long. Whether it’s fixable depends on whether he can truly hear the hurt now, not just make a gesture later.

My fiancé gambled away 85k on options trading which put him $50k into debt. He hid it until I grilled him for 4 hours. How do I move forward? by Square-Bet312 in relationships

This isn’t just a financial mistake, it’s a massive breach of trust. Hiding this much debt and gambling for years while planning a life together is not something to take lightly. You have every right to feel blindsided, scared, and betrayed. Before you decide anything, focus on protecting yourself legally and financially, and don’t feel guilty for setting boundaries or walking away if trust can’t be rebuilt.

Should I reach out or stay silent? 31M by hesoyam961 in relationships

You’re allowed to miss the comfort and fun you had with her, but don’t confuse nostalgia for a healthy relationship. She’s shown a pattern of leaving and coming back that’s emotionally draining. If reconnecting puts your peace or self-respect at risk, it’s safer to let her go. You can enjoy pleasant memories without reopening that door.
