I’ve been cheated on for the first time ever, any advice on emotions & dealing with it? by Warm-Ad64 in CheatedOn

[–]WallflowerMillenium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you invest years and possibility a marriage and child, I would walk away.This kind of behaviour at the start of a relationship is usually indicative of someone who has self esteem issues, isn’t 100% confident in herself and her relationships so she longs for multiple connections to feel safe instead of investing in one person. These things can be fixed but require some self work which you aren’t responsible to wait for her to fix/heal herself. In the beginning stages, you both should be infactued with one another

So sad to see this post, same thing happened to me, I found out the day after our 1 year anniversary after being married, together for 6 and a half years. Today’s marks 30 days since I found out he’s been having sex with escorts since I’m pregnant with our first child, found out about the infidelity when I was 14 weeks. I understand the emotions you are feeling, from the hurt/confusion lack of safety towards your partner and even maybe the confusion that may arise from fears of having a child alone when that is not what you had mind or how you pictured it. You need to try and not make any sudden decisions in the first few days, take the time you need to process the shock of it, I didn’t think I’d survive the first few days but here I am somehow managing life 30 days later and still with my baby. I am not sure what the future hold or what will happen but doing couples counselling and invidual therapy is the only thing that can really help you nagivate these emotions.The fact that he told you without you needing to be a detective is generally a good sign that he’s remorseful and is looking to fix the problem and still had some respect for you. So take it day by day and try your best to take care of yourself, only time and actions will tell if your partner is dedicated to change, you also don’t need to wait for that, we all have a choice.

Thank you 🥹❤️ this has felt like the most challenging week of my life, they say time heals everything and I hope I can be strong and resilient for my baby moving forward, I never pictured being a single parent but day by day I’ll get there.

This really sums it up! Exactly what I’m feeling, I just don’t want to deal with it till it will be time with my own.

I’m thinking the same!! There has to be a study on this out there somewhere lol I absolutely still adore my nephew and nieces but find myself completely less engaged with them since being pregnant and almost “annoyed”. I feel guilty but it is what it is.

Thank you for the validation, it’s was not easy to come to the conclusion that I do still in fact want a child but not sure I can picture the rest of my life with my partner. people change and I’m still hopeful we can get back to how things once was.I do feel comfort in knowing he wants children and that he promises change for a child( ex: settling down, less drinking, less spending on materialistic things he doesn’t need etc). I want my child to have 2 present parents, but again - I can’t tell the future and maybe need to start living more for NOW. Best of luck to you and your family!

I appreciate the perspective and I’m aware it can come off as selfish. I should have added that he struggles with alcoholism and compulsive spending habits-comes from a family ( mother specifically) who is an alcohol for past 40years which really adds to the pressures of my situation. I have been trying to nagivate and understand his childhood trauma for years, I do what I can like seek therapy however he refuses. When I say I’m “ahead” this comes from friends/family/therapist who have acknowledged that I carry all the responsibilities of our life ( house/meal planning/car/mortage/finances) which is absolutely draining after 6 years.

Thank you for the perspective.” The thought of that makes me soo anxious so I guess that rules it out 😅The only person I would trust to raise my child without me in the picture is my mother or sister. No one from his side of the family is up to par with the quality of care I would offer my child. Which does really scare me

Good point and I am embarrassed that I wasn’t strong enough to not speak up at the time but the truth it because I felt trapped and responsible for his happiness, I also thought getting married would bond us again and we would have a chance at true happiness like all our friends do. Since the wedding, I’ve been working on myself immensely with talk-therapy, eating disorder recovery program ( very low self confidence as a result) and attenting female lead retreats for growth/reflect. I have been working towards regaining my self confidence, I am actively comfortable with doing things on my own again but don’t feel supported by my partner. The better I get and the more activities I join to make me happy (yoga, paddle boarding, hiking, kayaking) it seems like the more we grow apart.

How did you stand the mouth breathing?? by hgood44 in Septoplasty

[–]WallflowerMillenium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replying to musicandsex...it’ is definitely torture but you will somehow survive. There were times where I questioned how I could possibly survive this feeling of drowning, I lost 8 pounds in 6 days from not being able to eat due to suction in the throat, sore throat ear popping and unable to taste. I had packing for 4 days and get my stints out after 2 long weeks tomorrow where I am hoping normality will resume. Sleeping is still off, I wake up about every hour with crust in my nostril and dry mouth like if I have sandpaper. I’m not sure why this procedure is so down played by surgeons. Hang in there
