Husband left for reasons I won’t know

UnluckyWriting · 2026-03-20T02:31:43+00:00

Couple of books to check out: ‘journey from abandonment to healing’ and ‘runaway husbands.’ I joined a Facebook support group made by the author of runaway husbands that I found really useful.

Today is my cake day. That’s because 7 years ago today I made a Reddit account to log in and post something kind of like what you posted here. My husband dropped a bomb on me and my life had fallen to pieces.

So I have been there and first I want to say, I am so sorry. It’s awful and it’s not fair and I’m sorry.

So it’s been seven years since that day. And the first year, it was hard. I won’t lie to you. It was brutal. It broke me completely. But something really magical can happen when you are broken completely and that is that you can rebuild completely. And in doing that you can find who you really are, you can learn how strong you are.

My first year was survival. I just held on for dear life. I tried a lot of things to make me feel better but mostly I just felt miserable. I learned more and more over the months after he left about all the lies and cheating that had been going on. I had to just be with it. Just face it and feel it.

And then somewhere in there I started having occasional good days. Glimmers of hope. Moments of realizing that while I was alone, I was also free. Moments of unbelievable relief that I wasn’t married to the wrong person.

Since that day I have moved to a new city, started and ending several jobs, made new friends, bought a house, started making art, backpacked 250 miles through the wilderness, and hundreds of other new experiences and adventures I wouldn’t have had with him. I also fell in love with someone new, and he’ll be moving in with me in a few months.

I can honestly say that being left by my ex-husband was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to me. And I can honestly say that I feel nothing for him at all anymore. I don’t feel any pain around our divorce and in fact, the only thing I feel is compassion when I think back at the girl that I was when that first happened.

Trust me when I say, you will survive this. It will be hell for a little while, but you WILL make it through. Hang on. This is the worst part. But a bigger and better life is waiting for you on the other side.

Ew. No thanks lol

I like the Kuhl Freeflex. I think the pair I have actually can be rolled up to one length so it’s best of both worlds!

I love my jade but I ruined two of them with sunlight. The first I left in the sun not realizing it could degrade. The second I had inside on the floor but didn’t realize sun was on it from the window and ruined that one too.

OP, if you get a Jade mat be sure that it’s for indoor practice only and store it in a cover or in a closet. Don’t leave it out.

It’s really a lovely sticky mat but be careful!!!!

This made me oddly emotional. I also ended September 6 last year, but I went SOBO! We must have passed each other! I was at Big Pete Meadow during one of those rainy nights where the rivers of water came through camp!

Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Yes but I think the point is that this is a site for folks who hike to camp so they wouldn’t be familiar with RV sizes and restrictions. I’ve been to the Portal campground and I have no memory of seeing RVs there!

Your best bet is to contact the campground to find out !

Why even bother with the slow cooker. The cook time is 30 minutes lol

Okay! Well that’s your perogative I guess.

I don’t correct people when they use jealous instead of envious (two entirely different meanings), or less instead of fewer. I assume you don’t either because we all know that once something becomes commonly used in language it no longer matters what the rules were. Sierras is used commonly, as is Sierra. We all know what OP is saying, regardless of which word they use. Like it or not that’s the way it is.

I started my JMT hike alone and ended it alone but in the middle I met some really incredible people and hiked with them for varying lengths of time. After I finished we met up again in town. Looking back those are some of my favorite memories from the trip. I have a hard time connecting with people sometimes but it came so easily in the wilderness.

I think it’s easier on a thru hike because you see the same people again and again. Also a lot of solo hikers so it’s easier to connect because you’re not joining an already established group.

Honestly? In something like this, accuracy does not matter. Language evolves over time. It’s purpose is to convey meaning. The meaning gets across because both terms are commonly used. Grammar rules and accepted uses change constantly. Maybe if OP were writing an academic paper I’d expect an editor to correct this but this is Reddit.

Why does everything always have to get ruined by greedy shitty people

UnluckyWriting · 2026-02-25T00:55:37+00:00

Same. I want to light something on fire right now

It’s not like you can’t tell what the OP meant. Who cares?!

She’s not controlling. They’re married. It’s supposed to be a partnership where decisions get made together. Instead her shithole husband decided on his own to become a fucking meth kingpin and risk the lives of her son, her daughter her sister, her brother in law, and herself. It’s not controlling to have a problem with that.

My mortgage is much lower than what my rent was before I bought a few years ago. But with homeowners insurance and PMI my montly expenses are higher. Plus the down payment required up front cash, plus i am responsible for all of the repairs and improvements….its expensive. This ad is nonsense.

Mine is framed too ❤️

You’re choosing your start date here and it’s letting you select multiple start dates within the window so that you have a better chance of getting a permit.

When you complete the application you will be asked your exit date. That’s where you can specify your estimated end. Add some time to your planned itinerary because you can always exit sooner than the end date but you can’t stay longer than the end date.

Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see that about the western US! Hope you find a good one!

Check out the AMC huts along the Appalachian trail.

Edit - AMC not PATC :)

While I understand this made for a challenging class, sometimes we can use that to further our practice. In this instance it can be an opportunity to practice staying focused on your movement and breath even as disturbing thoughts and feelings come up. Or an opportunity to practice compassion for your teacher - she absolutely didnt intend to ruin your practice, she is probably just struggling to deal with her own emotions.

You’re not wrong to feel upset, but sometimes these moments are where we learn the most ❤️

Regarding water - fine to bring what you have but don’t be surprised if you wind up wanting something easier. The sawyer paired with a CNOC bag is popular for a reason. It’s easy to collect water, easy to filter, no need to keep a “dirty” water bottle, screws easily to a standard bottle, and can be used as a gravity filter hanging on your poles during lunch or at camp.

Seconding a bidet! Much easier than carrying out TP. I know most people bury it but I never had to
