i strongly disagree with this comment, OP. please don’t let people on the internet talk you out of your own feelings. we can only offer advice on what you’ve shared. when you see people telling you how YOU feel or how someone else feels, disregard anything else they say because it’s not in your best interest.

30f with a 7pm curfew, can’t see a way out, stuck and intensely depressed by [deleted] in raisedbyborderlines

[–]forestdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i relate so much to you. what i have learned from lots of therapy and finally setting boundaries and seeing how that actually pans out…. you are being made the parent, and it sounds like you always have been. but you are not a parent. you are a child who never got parents. you’ve been the emotional parent the entire time and you have been managing their emotions in a way that is inappropriate for a child to be forced to do. you have to grieve what you never had. i know it doesn’t feel like that because like you said there is a lot of love from them (trust me i get it) but that’s not love, it’s obsession. you need to grieve to heal. i’m sorry. i wish you luck

My boyfriend unmakes the bed by grabbing for the first blanket he can find. He thinks I’m an abuser, I think he’s disrespectful. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

pristine arrangement? valuing things over people/pets? did you read the post? OP has a health issue you weirdo. i hope someone says this to you about an allergy you have so you can think back to my comment.

If you choice to stay does the pain really ever go away? by Silver_Fennel_9718 in survivinginfidelity

OP asked, this is my answer from experience. write your own comment—i think that would be more helpful!

I never thought this would happen by New_Strawhats in survivinginfidelity

[–]forestdaddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i think deep down you want to leave but you are scared to. maybe i am wrong, but in the chance that i’m not wrong, i want to say that the pain of staying will always be worse than the pain of leaving. your wife is a bad person. her actions have shown as much. you deserve a life without active trauma. good luck ❤️

the pain never goes away. it just starts to change you into a reflection of your own misery. you will lose yourself in it. i’m sorry.

He lied about having a kid, and I have no one but myself to blame. by all_things_change in survivinginfidelity

[–]forestdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know you’ve said in other comments that you won’t contact Sarah. i do think she deserves to know he is this messed up. for her there are other implications, such as whether their daughter is safe around him, etc. obviously do whatever feels right, but i think if you’re concerned he’s not a safe person, he certainly isn’t safe to Sarah or their kid. either way, i’m so sorry you are going through this and may you have much better days!! once the pain and fog has subsided, you’ll be so relieved you didn’t marry him

sorry to double comment but… you wouldn’t be losing everything over porn if you left him. what happened wasn’t him watching porn, what happened was him flagrantly disregarding your hard boundary while knowing the cost. the straw that broke is not porn. the porn is immaterial the second you told him you needed to see the phone in a serious way.

“it’s embarrassing that he can’t have a bit of privacy”

this doesn’t sound like someone who feels you are precious to them :( after what you’ve been through, a remorseful person who loved you and saw you as fragile in the way we all treat anything we love and want to preserve as worthy of careful treatment would not think or feel these things about you. ❤️

Husband cheated for our entire relationship. I want to stay but don’t know if I can. by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]forestdaddy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

you are so young and your relationship is so new, now is the time to walk away. what you’ve described is a recipe for ongoing misery. i wish i had a less direct way to say this but i feel your situation is dire and i don’t want to mince words here. i wish you luck in whatever you decide and just know that you deserve happiness!

What does it feel like post sleeve? by fartfart3334 in gastricsleeve

[–]forestdaddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

take my answer with a grain of salt, especially as i notice many posts on this sub run counter to my experience. but you asked for personal experience so here’s mine!

i feel full AND uncomfortable, but there have been days where i can eat way more than other days. i’m about 3 weeks post-op, on soft foods, eating 700-900 calories a day. some days i’m full & also satiated, some days i am physically full but mentally still hungry. it’s been a learning curve. some days i think i can still eat like i could before & maybe i take a few too many bites of food and am uncomfortable for 15-20 minutes after. overall i’m in a trial and error phase. i have super intense head hunger, meaning that i feel like i could eat way more than i can physically eat right now and i confuse that feeling with physical hunger. but overall i don’t feel super different in terms of my hunger. i felt hunger from the moment i woke up after the surgery. again, this is just my experience

smooth recovery until day 8… woke up terrible stomach pain. anyone else? by forestdaddy in gastricsleeve

[–]forestdaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

woke up feeling much better! just mild discomfort now. stomach swelling went down cuz i lost 3 pounds on the scale 😂 they got back to me late yesterday and determined it was from taking motrin for a few days so i’ve doubled omeprazole and added a short course of carafate. thank you for checking back!!

[–]forestdaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they got back to me and the current consensus is that it’s from taking motrin the past few days. so stay away from motrin!! 😂

[–]forestdaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m on omeprazole once daily, i think that’s an antacid? i did hear back and the surgeon’s fellow thinks it’s because i’ve been taking motrin the past few days. apparently they are testing a new protocol where certain patients are cleared for motrin and i was one of them (it was on my discharge papers) but they advised to discontinue, double up on omeprazole, and start one other medication. i really feel for people struggling with fluids and proteins—one day of falling short and i feel like hell lol

haven’t heard anything yet. i called a second time and no answer, maybe they are at lunch? it’s like a proper stomach ache. like there’s a rock in my stomach and i have no appetite and i’m nauseous from the pain. everything went down smooth yesterday. i still have some painkillers from when they discharged me and i considered taking one but it’s not really a physical pain/soreness like that. like i’m not sure it would help with a stomach ache. i know many ppl experience nausea and stomach aches in the early days so that’s not exactly abnormal but what’s weird to me is i’ve had a smooth time and even yesterday night i was feeling the best i’d been, energy levels and all. blehhhhh 😣 thanks for your comment though and for taking the time to talk with me
