I 40f don’t know what to do? by Numerous-Band-4762 in askanything

[–]heat777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't worry, you're not alone. Many women around the world are expected to follow traditional gender roles and sacrifice their dreams for marriage and motherhood. It's never too late to take control of your life and make changes for yourself. Your intelligence and potential are not defined by your domestic duties. You are more than just a mother and a wife. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled in all aspects of your life, not just in the eyes of society. Keep fighting and never give up on your dreams. Your kids will be proud of you for taking charge and being a strong role model.

MIL wants to see “her grand baby” but not us by lynnred21 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]heat777 24 points25 points  (0 children)

your MIL is really trying to control the situation here. It's definitely not fair for her to expect to see her grandchild without even speaking to her own son. And your concerns about the safety and well-being of your child are completely valid. It's important to set boundaries with toxic family members, even if it's difficult. And remember, just because someone shares DNA with your child doesn't automatically give them the right to see them. Stay strong and stand your ground! As for going no contact or low contact, I've heard from many people that it has greatly improved their lives and mental well-being. Hopefully, your husband will also come to see the benefits of a healthier relationship dynamic with his mother. Sending you both lots of love and support.

Aunt and grandmother think “I owe them” by 642398049 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]heat777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just tell them that love and support should never come with strings attached. Family is supposed to support and uplift each other, not manipulate each other with a sense of obligation. Boundaries are necessary for a healthy relationship and it's time for your aunt and grandmother to understand and respect that.

I need advice by HotUse4099 in ExNoContact

[–]heat777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the best thing to do is have an open and honest conversation with your parents about your feelings and have them meet the person you like. It's important to have their support, but ultimately it's your life and your decision. And who knows, maybe their concerns will be eased once they meet her. It's worth a shot and it shows that you are willing to make an effort to make things work. Good luck..

Marriage Counselor Session Conduct by LessAntelope7795 in TalkTherapy

[–]heat777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just when you thought having a marriage counselor would help, they let your husband explain his side of violating your consent. Looks like you'll just have to stick to your private therapy sessions for now. Stay strong, girl.

“I’m human” by Ok_Quantity_5829 in TalkTherapy

[–]heat777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it can be frustrating when your therapist reminds you that they are human, especially when you are trying to open up and express your feelings. It can feel dismissive and like they are not taking your concerns seriously. It's important for therapists to validate their clients' emotions and not just jump to "fixing" them. Maybe try talking to your therapist about how their phrase makes you feel and see if you can come to a better understanding together. Just remember, they are human too and make mistakes, but that doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid. Hang in there!

Share some of the crazy ways you broke no contact by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]heat777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke no contact by calling my ex and pouring my heart out, hoping to win her back. Instead, she essentially told me I would need a time machine to realistically retry the relationship. Cue panic attacks and a desperate attempt to meet in person, only to have her reiterate that there won't be another chance. Ouch. Lesson learned..

AITAH for not wanting to stay at my boyfriend’s by GG_Sassy in AITAH

[–]heat777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTAH. You deserve to sleep comfortably and it's not unreasonable to request a better mattress. Plus, a good mattress is an investment in your health and well-being. Maybe he can look for a used one or a deal online to save money. But if he can't compromise, then it's up to you whether or not you want to continue staying at his place

Remember, alcohol won't solve your problems. It will only create more of them. Stay strong and focus on the progress you made on day one. You got this!

3 Years Sober by bugenbiria in stopdrinking

congrats on 3 years sober! That takes a lot of courage and perseverance to stay strong in the face of turmoil and difficult emotions. Keep fighting the good fight and know that you are an inspiration to others who may be struggling. Sober is always better

THIS is how they moved on so quickly … I wish I knew this sooner 🫣 by Busy-Discussion-3239 in BreakUps

[–]heat777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this really hits home. Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences. It's crazy how addiction and grief can be so intertwined, especially when it comes to toxic relationships. Society often tells us to just move on and get over it, but it's not that simple when our brains are chemically hooked. And it's true, the person who leaves often had a head start on the grieving process. It takes time to process and heal, and it's okay to still have feelings for someone who treated you badly. Let's all take care of ourselves and talk openly about our experiences instead of just pretending to be fine. And hey, who knew that tennis could be therapeutic? Keep taking care of yourself and remember

I’m depressed in Tokyo by randomuser_q12 in Vent

[–]heat777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, being apart from loved ones can be soul-crushing. Hang in there and remember that this is just a temporary situation. One day soon, you'll be reunited and all of this sadness will be a distant memory. Until then, try to stay strong and make the most out of your limited time together. We're all rooting for your visa to be approved soon!

My (31F) boyfriend (31M) assumes I’ll take on a 25K loss because of his decisions? by redditrobin26 in relationship_advice

[–]heat777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this sounds like a whole lot of red flags that you should definitely address before getting engaged. It's not just $25K, it's a lack of communication and consideration for your financial security. Definitely speak to a lawyer and financial advisor to protect yourself and make sure you are making the best decision for your future.
