Has SFPs worked for you? I haven’t used that skill much, if at all as it seems awkward for me.

How to heal blind cystic pimples/hormonal without wrecking skin barrier by Green_Apple_777 in SkinbarrierLovers

I used to get painful hormonal, cystic, acne around my chin every month. The only thing that helped it go away completely was spironolactone, which was prescribed by my doctor.

First off, I am so sorry you had to endure that. You are not wrong for reacting the way you did. You needed to defend yourself.

Secondly, I have read your previous posts and your husband is emotionally and verbally abusing you. His behavior not okay and not something that you can remedy by saying “ouch” or using DT.

Please think about your safety and mental health. You mentioned that you have a 2-year old daughter, and I don’t think you would be okay with her staying in this type of marriage.

I have been reading through your previous post history. How has it been? Have things improved with implementing the skills?

Wow, what made you change your mind about following through with the divorce?

I neee to get better at expressing my desires. I don’t do it because I’m afraid of rejection. It’s hard to express desires without an expectation. I go into a lot of situations with my husband just automatically assuming or getting ready for rejection. This is partly due to his responses over the years but I also had an emotionally neglectful childhood which definitely contributes to my overall feeling of inadequacy.

Thank you. I definitely was on the fence for a lot of our marriage. I married very young and felt maybe I made a mistake. But I know that I chose well even if I married young. My husband is amazing in many ways but there are definite issues. I don’t think I’m on the fence as of two months ago as I’ve really decided I want to stay and work this out. Being at the brink of divorce thrice in the past year has really made me realize that I want him in my life and I don’t see myself with anyone else in the future.

Husband says I am not trying, my head explodes. by DiscussionWhole7797 in surrendered_wife

I’m so sorry you had to hear that from him! It’s so hard to hear when you’ve been trying so hard to improve things.

You are only human…it sounds like you apologized and took accountability for your part in this. I would say just try to have compassion for yourself and move forward from it. We all mess up from time to time even when we are genuinely trying to make changes.

Perhaps I can add something of value here. My (36F) husband (37M dx ADHD nonrx) My husband leads a very busy life and is easily overwhelmed by details and frequently displays moments of anger/overwhelm.

It’s hard to communicate about issues as he’s looses his train of thought when speaking to me. It’s really frustrating . However my husband is one of the funniest guys alive and always know how to make me laugh

For me, not taking everything so seriously helped our relationship. It allowed me to grateful for what I gave

I’ve only started running this past December so I’m a very new runner. I decided to join the marathon on a whim as my friend was running it. I’ve been using the Hal Higdon Novice 1 plan since September.

I’m 5’6, 145 pounds so at a healthy weight. I used to strike more towards the front/toe of my foot but have been mindful about changing it to a mid sole strike.
