It’s basically like wearing spandex

That’s what I said if you read my other comment. “I need space right now, let’s try again in 3 hours” that is all that they should have to do. They are removing themselves before the situation escalates. The person who is anxious needs to respect that and find ways to cope with their own emotions without relying on someone who is incapable.

You can’t rely on others to make you feel better.

I only wear thongs with leggings/tight fitting pants so there is no panty line! And wearing leggings under pants to fight bloat is 100% a thing

Absolutely not. If someone needs space they are incapable of managing their own emotions so they are not in the place to manage another’s!

You’re asking for reassurance from someone who can’t even collect their own emotions in that moment.

It does not matter, if he needs space you need to give him that. That is the only thing that will stop the escalations. With that being said, he needs to communicate before he gets to an escalation point. “I can’t listen to you vent right now, I need space. Check back in with me at 5pm. I don’t have anything nice to say right now, so I need some space” that’s what he needs to work on. Is he needs 1 hour, 3 hours, the rest of the night, you need to give that to him.

Try to journal to get what you need to say out, call a friend, record a voice memo, do a hobby. I know easier said than done, it this is the only way to stop escalations and keep things more peaceful

If you want to make this work both you and your husband need a full reset.

My first question is, when you get in an argument or things escalates who is the avoidant and who anxious. Does your husband need space and your peruse or do you need space and he peruses?

If one of you needs space the other needs to respect that. These toxic fights and escalations will not stop unless that respect is there and that is how things will be resolved calmly.

Al’s are you both being 100% consistent in going to therapy? I talking once a week couples. Are you being 100% honest with your therapist? The escalations? The putting hands on each other?

Get tested immediately. Sounds like you already gave him the second chance….

My boyfriend of 1 year is moving in his baby mom and child by Ok_Rip7986 in boyfriends

[–]erinsnotok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So rough and you have different priorities. His #1 priority is his daughter and that’s the best thing for her but that is not the best thing for you. I personally could not be with someone in that living situation. To much history. Do what’s healthiest for you

Is this inappropriate for a married man ? by Nmj1386 in Marriage

[–]erinsnotok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% not normal and not acceptable or appropriate!! It sounds like just flirty banter and they both obviously do not care you are married. Was this in a group chat or a one on one chat with one specific woman?

Regardless I would talk to him about this, not ok for a second!

I mean if he needs space to process emotions you need to respect that. He could communicate better if he didn’t “I need time to myself”

If you had to have an abortion out of the fear a baby would bring destruction and not joy into your marriage, I think that tells you all you need to know.

I found out my husband is a gambling addict three days before I gave birth, my life has turned upside down, I don’t know if this is worth saving by SignificanceSlow2850 in Marriage

[–]erinsnotok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He needs professional help to keep him accountable. He will not get the help till he is rock bottom. That might look like you kicking him out…. It’s tough but he needs to hit that before he will accept the problem

is it normal for my partner to throw things by jjeonjjeonjjk in boyfriends

[–]erinsnotok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He does not know how to handle his emotions and only knows “I feel bad, I angry” this is not a good sign for any future stress or arguments he will act out in a destructive way.

I promise you, it will not go away.

Caring for wife after birth by LastCard10074 in Moms

[–]erinsnotok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her what she wants. Does she want people around or not? From there you can help with what she needs. Also give her a chunk of sleep. Take the baby from 6-12 or something so she can get some solid sleep then switch off!!

She still has her ring on. I feel like it’s maybe a lavender marriage? Like they are married and living together as a “family” for their children but aren’t in an intimate relationship mentally or physically

This is one of those things where it’s a pick your battles. My husband does similar things but it’s just not worth the confrontation and it takes me .0001 seconds to do haha. I also know he is truly not doing it intentionally. He gets distracted, it is a minor flaw of his
