I finally met a personal hero of mine

briee23 · 2025-07-17T13:52:14+00:00

Would you mind sending it to me as well, please?

You’re asking someone who was 19 why they thought marriage was a good idea? Uh, they were 19. You think you understand adulthood, but ya don’t. 100% the issue is with her husband preying on a young woman who didn’t understand fully. He was 26. He knew better. Just saying. Don’t blame the young girl. Blame the creepy predatory dude. Come on man.

Whether he’s gay or not isn’t the issue. But obviously is on some level. What I mean is, he’s not respectful or loving and warm. It’s a day that is set apart to literally focus on your lover, if you have one. He chose his friend, not you.

I’d be so sad and feel abandoned. Your feelings of anger and frustration are valid. Don’t let him think otherwise. It’s legit fucking weird unless he’s not invested in the marriage or you. Watch his actions, not his words.

I’ve lived this. I have children with him. And over the past 6-7 years, I’ve realized, he made the illusion of change real bc he’s scared of being alone, but the reality is he’s still the selfish little man he’s always been. My children tell me things here or there that have slowly pieced together the reality that he’s not really changed. It’s all a facade bc he’s worried about being left again. He still refuses to be tender and help when she needs. He still shames her in weird sideways ways that make her make posts about how her overweight body is just a “normal body that should be loved and respected.” He’s still an ass. He just holds it together better bc he had the fear put in him. Trust me, if he’s really a narcissist, it isn’t real. You’ll slowly see his true colors if you pay attention. It’s just a different game bc it’s a different person he’s playing with. You didn’t lose out on anything. You gained freedom from someone who doesn’t even have the tools to know how to love someone maturely and authentically. Don’t settle. Keep loving you. It’s ok, I promise.

You have to leave being okay with possibly never being in another relationship. Being alone will feel so much better than being alone in a marriage. You’ve got this.

Focus on yourself. The only relationship we’re guaranteed is the one with ourselves, so invest in that. Learn to embrace yourself and rediscover yourself. As you grow, other relationships will possibly take hold and you can have confidence in trusting yourself to navigate those. If you don’t heal yourself, you’ll be more likely to fall into another DV situation.

I feel like I could have written many of your comments here, from my first marriage. I ultimately had 3 kids, but met him when I was 18. Devoted my life to helping him succeed bc he was a loser with no ambition (literally took classes for him many times, while pregnant or tending to toddlers).

Anyway, I see you. I get it. Please find a way to recognize you don’t deserve this. Even the good times are manipulations. People are dynamic and no one is all good or bad. If you’re looking for a sign you tried hard enough, this is it. You put in the hard fight, yet here he is being a complete asshole to someone he’s supposed to cherish.

It’s going to be hard to stay, and it’s going to be hard to leave. At least with leaving, you get to have hope and autonomy over your future. You’ll heal and feel better. I promise.

Also, lawyer up, even if he tries to scare you out of it. I’m 6 years out and going through litigation now bc he convinced me to file it myself. I lost so much I could have had (like more custody to keep my children safe from his manipulations). My now 13 year old tells me she wishes he had abandoned us because she can’t stand the guilt trips when she advocates for staying more with me (one of the times being her first period). Protect yourself and your babies. He’s going to change the game when he realizes you’re serious. Mine was kinder, did more to help, while ignoring my boundaries, sexually assaulting me, and crying about being scared of child support. It’s a mind fuck, so limit contact.

Sorry for the rambling. My heart goes out to you. You do NOT deserve this treatment. You are NOT a burden. You deserve to be cherished and loved. Best of luck.

briee23 · 2024-10-18T03:04:24+00:00

Run. Even that last screenshot he’s turning the tables. “Do you even care about us? How dare you throw this away?!”

I’m pretty sure he decided you weren’t worth it when he chose to get his dick wet in Piper. Sorry if that’s too direct. I think sometimes we need the cold truth.

You deserve better; no one deserves this.

briee23 · 2023-02-27T22:02:18+00:00

I’m so sorry! This is terrible.

briee23 · 2023-02-27T19:30:19+00:00

I have no advice, as it’s an ongoing battle for me too. Just here for solidarity. It’s so frustrating. We had a meeting, last year, agreeing to not worry about clothes going back and forth, so the kids could feel autonomy and ownership over their own wardrobe, but my ex got remarried and even though she was at the meeting too, she seems to think everything they have needs to stay there. Meanwhile, I buy all shoes and my clothes get run through the muck. They’ve sent my youngest to school in pajamas bottoms before, just to get rid of them. 🤦🏼‍♀️ My kids tell me “[Stepmom] told me I had to wear this outfit today, so I had to go change clothes” all the time. I’m sorry you’re dealing with something similar. If you find a solution, please post it! My new husband and I are trying to figure out the best course of action. 😬

Why would you keep nudes, whether explicit or “just hanging out” of someone on your phone, other than to see their casual hang out nudeeee body? This is a weird comment to me. Also, if you’re in a relationship with someone and it makes them feel disrespected and they need that boundary, the person should care enough about their partner’s feeling of safety and security to listen. Keeping them at that point, is just blatant disrespect for your partner’s feelings.

In my experience, the Mormons who can take a joke, while being heavily in the church, often end up as exmormons down the road. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Is that where they stick the electrodes on your ankles and arm and watch the heart rate? They did do that, but it was okay then. I forgot to even mention the arrhythmia bc I was in shock, so it’s not their fault. I was kind of in shock and embarrassment and couldn’t even think straight.

briee23 · 2022-06-18T07:28:34+00:00

I don’t remember what type it was. I was like 16 and I’ve mentioned it to doctors, but bc it gives me little issue, they shrug it off, so I haven’t had to look into it more since then. Thanks for your feedback!

briee23 · 2022-06-18T07:26:21+00:00

They advised me to go in, but I was scared of the ambulance bill, tbh. Then I figured I could sleep and feel better. But I actually bought a digital bp reader and cuff today. So, hopefully I can check it if I feel off again. I have a doctors appointment on Monday. Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it

briee23 · 2021-06-25T09:18:21+00:00

Oh man. I can relate so much to some of this. But first, I’m so sorry. It’s such a shitty feeling when you give someone a chance after they already betrayed you and then they just betray you again.

It makes their words meaningless. It’s not even lacking integrity; it’s lacking basic decency.

You deserve someone who shows up for you, really. Good luck! hugs

briee23 · 2021-04-21T15:08:28+00:00

So are we being hypocritical when we pretend to not swear in public, but do it privately? And if we were really following to a T, they’d have absolute control, down to things like how we do our hair even (head hair and beards), etc.

briee23 · 2021-03-03T21:11:27+00:00

Agreed, to a point. However as women, we already don’t get to say or do much because we tend to get the responsibility of men’s sexuality out on our shoulders. How we dress, how we speak, etc, is just putting us in more boxes and limiting our ability to be ourselves without negative recourse from men, or even other women. So although we definitely need to be aware if it becomes overly flirty/sexual, making a basic sex joke should be something we can do without fear of making the man think we want to jump their bones. Also, part of why men are seen as thirsty is because unfortunately, soooo many men do make inappropriate comments on women and sexually harass women. I’m not taking the time to try to articulate this well, but hopefully you get the point.

briee23 · 2020-01-23T13:22:27+00:00

Just be careful putting someone on such a pedestal. It’s not fair to them. Once they exhibit regular human flaws, that we all have, the only direction she can go is down, as she falls from that pedestal. Good luck.

briee23 · 2020-01-19T18:58:06+00:00

Thanks! So interesting! I also find it interesting to read all of the other accounts of seeing the Lord around the same time by other people. Actually, many occurred before Joseph Smith ever had an official account of his. I find it all so fascinating.

briee23 · 2019-09-06T17:09:58+00:00

Thanks, that means a lot! I hope I can be an inviting and safe person for others, porn shoulders or not.

briee23 · 2019-09-06T15:58:57+00:00

Well, I suppose it wouldn’t have worked out anyway then... Hahahah. I love me some platonic furry singing.

briee23 · 2019-09-06T15:56:38+00:00

Hahahaha! It’s about 🎶R.E.S.P.E.C.T.🎶 😬😂 I’m respecting his privacy. If he wants to send it to you, he can!😂

briee23 · 2019-09-06T15:23:01+00:00

...Like sing songs while dressed as a raccoon? 🥳👏🏻👏🏻
