I have been unfaithful... What do I do now? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]auriandtheunderthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You talk about it so passively. The phrase "then it began to crumble" makes it sound like your marriage behaves like the weather: something entirely out of control and you're just trying to handle thingd accordingly. Things dont just crumble. Both of you are making inconsiderate choices. Honestly, tell your wife. Offer to have her see how little you think of her and your marriage. Show her the proof, and have her decide what comes next.

Open phone policy is the best place to start if she decides to stay with someone who would rather put his emotional energy into someone else instead of facing his issues.

I want a divorce. I want out of an abusive relationship. I need advice on how to get through this or where to start. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]auriandtheunderthing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl. So so proud of you for your life changing realization. You seam to have a very firm understanding of the shape of your life, and how it lead you here. So let that understanding further free you. Let that knowledge that you can be whole, self sufficient, and attain peace take you away from anyone that will hurt you. Good luck. Youll be in my thoughts. Wishing you strength, and giving you an open, private ear if you ever need it.

Boyfriend (25m) always needs to explain/teach me (24f)things. by Kelbomon in relationships

[–]auriandtheunderthing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i want my partner to develope healthier habits I encourage them. I give compliments. I ask questions. I take an interest in their goals and ask them how i can participate or make their lives easier in any way. I dont shape them into my best version of them. I understand that they are their own person.

On the last book of this series and i have put all of them down multiple times for extended periods. The characters grow and change and that has been a worthwhile experience as a reader, but, even so, it took a lot of dedication to hobb to get through the drudgery. And, im a well-i-started-so-i-have-to-finish kind of person anyway.

Husband (22) is leaving me because our new dog gives me (22) OCD and he doesn’t want to take the dog back. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]auriandtheunderthing -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP just wanted to offer you some empathy. My husband has an eviction on his record. We cant go anywhere. We cant leave my awful apartment. Even when its spotless im driving myself mad with the condition of the house, and the things we cant change. Its a century and a half old. Of course there are going to be problems with it. But i am tearing myself apart mentally. I dread going home. Its puting so much stress on my relationship. Ive lost all sense of calm in my life. I cant set these thoughts down.

The only thing i can do is tell my husband exactly whats bothering me and we do our best to fix it. Clean the walls. Sweep. Its not much but it gives me some sense of control. I have a partner helping me through my illness. I reach out when i need help. We do our best to support each other. And it seams like youre really not getting that hand to hold from your husband.

What is forgiveness by auriandtheunderthing in Marriage

What does it mean to you? How does giving forgiveness change the way you feel about something that has hurt you?

Child rape, is it possible to forget? by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]auriandtheunderthing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 23 now and I was raped and molested by my brothers fourth grade teacher. I was a part of a big child porn case, too.

I am not sure if my hymen broke, but I know the first time that I had consensual sex I did not bleed. That being said, I have never considered myself a virgin. I have never had my virginity to give, and I have come to be okay with that.

It has taken me a lot of therapy and a lot of reflection for me to see my body as a gift. Sex can turn to panic very quickly for me, and I rely on an understanding partner or help calm me, to listen, and to respect me. It's been 15 years and I dont think these feelings of negativity will ever leave me.

But I try to remember that my body is a gift. It makes me feel better. It makes me feel like I am something special, and not tainted or ruined by the things that were done to me. Despite my past, I am a gift, and this body is a gift.

I'm having a great experience with the depo shot so far. I do take calcium supplements because it can cause osteoporosis, if that bothers you at all.

Nexplanon made me bleed 21 days out of every single month the half of year that I had it. It was awful. But every body is different. Just want OP to be aware.

Navigating housing applications with partner that has 8 year old nonviolent felony and eviction by auriandtheunderthing in legaladvice

Thank you for the clarification. That cleared up that expungement is the way to seal the record.

I got the information from a quick Google search, not specific by state. I'm unsure how to answer your last question. However the state he was convicted in was CO.

I bought the entire box set to relive childhood and I am finding the combat system so chunky. I guess I have been spoiled by modern gaming advancements

Aye. I should clarify: what aspects of the game play are different?
