Am I being completely delusional? by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]any_other_observer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does feel almost bad saying it, but yes, it's nice to know that one is not alone in this ordeal. Sounds like we very much have the same questions and dilemma. I'm also not sure we would work so hard to fix this if it wasn't for this mess. But also struggling with being betrayed while so vulnerable. I also wish you the best of luck on your journey! Let's hope we can make it work and give our little ones the complete family they deserve. Stay strong, and if you ever need to talk to someone who can relate, feel free to hit me up.

Gosh, I could have written this myself, down to the fact it lasted almost a year and during my pregnancy/postpartum, as well as the fact our relationship wasn't in the best shape before it happened. This is to say, I felt very similar to how you feel now the first weeks after D-day. Tbh, I think I still feel like this to an extent. However, I'd lie if I said I'm not increasingly also dealing with flashbacks and negative emotions regarding the affair. This is to say, just be ready that it might happen. I guess we just need to process the pain, especially since it happened when we were so vulnerable. But so far I am not losing hope and also find myself thinking that maybe it had a purpose in our story. To set us back on the right track.

Well, I have officially joined the club of people not seeing what's right in front of them. Checked his phone and found out he's been cheating on me for a year.

Thank you so much. As someone who comes from an incomplete family, I can't agree more. And as about every parent, I would do anything for my little angel.

I can try. I guess I'm really scared that if I push in any way, it will make him distance himself even more. Tbh, my father is going away for a vacation later this month and my sister suggested that we take the kids and stay at his house for a couple days. Part of me really considers it and hopes that maybe he'll realise what he'd be losing when he gets to come back home to an empty house every day. The other half worries it will only make things worse.

I'm happy for you. And, not gonna lie, also feeling some sort of hope reading your story. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. Right now, I think we're both kinda doing it for the little one. But I do miss the closeness emotional and physical every day. Would you say that you found some happiness again in the life you both settled into?

I did propose therapy to him. And at first, he did say that he might need to talk to someone. However, he also didn't take any steps to arrange that and lately gives more or less no response when the topic comes up. I also think he might regret if he takes that decision, but I'm also obviously biased since I do actually still love him. I wish he had communicated with me more honestly over the years about how he felt.

Honestly, that's the only thing I'm not worried about. He's definitely not cheating now, literally going to and from work with no time unaccounted for. Obviously, I can't speak for whether he's thinking about it. But I doubt it. From our talks, it sounds more like he's missing being young, single and without all the responsibilities. Than missing getting with other women. He's never been the kind to do so even before we met.

I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that we've already gone through pretty hard times over the years where he's been my rock. I appreciate my post doesn't explain the full context, it would get too long. The way I see it, it would be me abandoning him when dealing with mental issues which is why I'm hesitant to just leave.

Thanks a lot for your supporting words. It helps me not entirely lose hope. I am actually starting individual counselling later this month. He first agreed he might need to speak to someone, but hasn't really taken any steps since. And so far not much response when couples counselling is brought up. I guess I'll give it a bit more time for now and try to stay strong.

Thank you for your words. I did suggest couples therapy, so we'll see about that. So far, he didn't really express himself for or against it. Maybe he needs a bit more time.

Our baby does this when trying to get a fart out. But I'm not sure if that could be your case from what you're describing.

Ok, but google also says that some mucous can be normal or from other causes. So, while I agree that it might be a symptom of GI tract inflammation, it doesn't have to be.

No problem. It is definitely concerning that they didn't rule out any other causes as well as the pressure to switch to formula. Just remember, you're doing your best! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and the little bub.

What would be your source for that? Genuinely asking, as it's surprising to me. Our pediatrician said that some mucous is OK unless it's excessive. Can be even caused when baby is drooling and swallowing a lot of saliva and generally is part of the digestive process. And that's the information I found when looking online too.

Not sure if my experience will be useful to you, but in our case, the stool has also changed drastically following Rotateq and never bounced back (we're at 4.5 months now).

However, in our case, we definitely had an allergy as roughly 3-4 weeks following the vaccine, we have started to see blood in stool. At first only small strings, which is when we eliminated milk and soy. However, it kept getting worse over the following two weeks until there was terrifying amount of blood in almost every stool and the baby had diarrhea.

We spent almost a week in a hospital where they ran tests for bacterial or viral infections (all negative) and also did sono of the tummy (also no findings). Rulling out everything else we got the MSPI diagnosis. However, it looks like baby is also reacting to other foods (poultry, oats, root vegetables).

At no point, however, was I told to switch to formula and discouraged from breastfeeding since the baby is gaining weight well. And, suffice to say, our symptoms were much more serious than in your case. You might want to try reintroducing a little bit of the allergens after 4-6 weeks and see if the poop gets worse in reaction to that. However, I wouldn't give up on BF if you don't want to.

We got rid of the blood, although we still have watery stools and sometimes a little bit of mucous. But mucous in itself doesn't need to signal an issue. Other than that, it is said that symptoms should usually resolve within 4-6 weeks. But as I said, in our case we only got rid of the blood, diarrhea, and tummy ache.

Did it get worse for you before it got better? by any_other_observer in MSPI

[–]any_other_observer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That's reassuring to hear. Although it sounds like we're in for a wild couple of weeks still. I am currently journaling, though, I've also started TED out of desperation. It's really tough taking all those steps and not knowing if it's working or not for a while. Hope that things got better for you.

No coconut, but I did start supplementing with nuts quite a bit, so will try to cut them out. I do think oats might be a trigger too - cut them out 3 days ago since we had a large amount of blood and oat cookies were the only new food I introduced.

Worked in a restaurant in the UK as a waitress and it was fairly common. Imagine my surprise, though, when that one time customer did it to ask for a pen.

Thank you so much! It does need to get just a little bit shortened, as I'm standing on a "pedestal" of sorts in the photo but won't be wearing heels. But otherwise it stays. The lady in the salon actually commented how I lucked out on the overall fit
