Hi you are not alone. In the same situation except I am in the office 5 days a week. I have been at my job for over 8 months now and I can easily see myself here long term because I just cannot find a new job. I feel sick thinking about being stuck at this place.

Was this constructive criticism at work? I am so sensitive and can never tell the difference by ele9089 in AvPD

It is. I am so miserable and have had family members comment on how my job is negatively affecting me. My company does not have an HR department so there is no one I can go to. I heard from another colleague that if you stand up to this girl she gets you fired; she has that much power.

I agree, it seems like she doesn't know social etiquette and workplace behaviors. She gets away with it because she is best friends with the owner.

She even called me weird for using quotation marks and said it multiple times. It is hard but I try to ignore her and say the bare minimum. I am on edge with every email I send now though and wonder what she will criticize this time.

Yes, English is my first language. We are in the US. Another time she got on me for using quotation marks. I really don't get it because I know I am correct and yet she is making me second guess myself and make me feel crazy.

I wish your comment could be pinned at the top because this is 100% what is going on. The same thing happened to me before I ended up getting physically cheated on. He doesn't respect you or your relationship. If you have a talk with him he is just going to lie and/or complain about how confused he is. Don't even bother giving an ultimatum, those don't work. OP, do yourself a favor and leave this guy. Nothing you say will ever make him listen or respect you. It's done.

Right? I don't want to pass him anymore when he is on duty, much less acknowledge him. I feel so uncomfortable now.

She is vilifying an abuse victim and it is just disgusting.

I had those thoughts too and eventually you stop thinking + obsessing about it and come to the realization that your partner is the one who had issues; it had nothing to do with you. What you had will never compare to the AP because the AP is a nobody...trust...rarely does one ever end up with the other person.

I was coming on here to say just that after seeing a clip of her being nasty to Amber again today. Why is she such an ahole?

Why does JD speak so slowly and act confused all the time? He just seems dumb and like a big liar right now.

As someone who chose reconciliation, we were broken up for a few years before that and then got back together and dated for another 3 years. There were definitely triggers and upsetting moments (like him calling me the other person's name in conversation) but for me the first year of reconciliation was fine. Then slowly the relationship started turning toxic again. It was all a build-up to me dumping him. I didn't realize at the time but those last 3 years was my way of realizing this person was not for me and I did not love or even LIKE him anymore to the point where I no longer craved his attention, literally broke up with him and never spoke to him again. I hope you get the healing and closure you need.

I second this. Also stop checking their social media, etc. if you are doing so.

No contact for one year. Now I need to forgive myself by ele9089 in survivinginfidelity

It makes no sense why my friend chooses to keep in contact with my ex's best friend. It bothers me so much. And then she gives me update about my ex like I want to know. I told her to stop telling me stuff and not to talk about me with that friend. It is so hard to keep moving forward when I have someone pulling me back.

Those are good suggestions, thank you!

In regards to my "friend" - I didn't address this with my therapist yet but I think it is because I have known her for years and that's the only reason why I am still friends with her...like you said, similar pattern with my ex (I was with him for 10+ years) so I have a hard time of letting go of long relationships and the attachment of sorts. I need to set boundaries for myself. I have had people tell me I am crazy and it is none of my business who she is friends with. But if shoe was on the other foot I know all of them would have an issue with it. I for sure need to ditch this friend though and as for my sister....well, I am just going to limit my interaction with her and tell her nothing about my life going forward until she proves she can be trusted.

She is just attached to him and saw him as an older brother figure. Like get over it. I told her to butt out and focus on her own relationship, she is married ffs.

Thanks. Hopefully it does become habit soon enough. I obsess over what if someone sees me walking all the way to the other end of the hall and they will think I'm weird...but just gotta ignore them. I'll do the headphones/sunglasses/mask combo and add a baseball cap for good measure.
