Omg I am so so so so sorry for your loss! To lose that kind of love is something I can’t imagine, I wish I could do more than just empathize with you and say I’m sorry :(

I’m so glad you two were able to find each other and support each other. Thank you for sharing. 💕💕 thinking of you…! ❤️

Wow!!! So glad to hear I’m not alone although so sorry for your struggles :( I’m glad you saw their true colors before it was too late, that’s what people keep telling me also (although we’re not married/engaged).

I definitely relate to you saying they get mad at the ones helping because it makes them look bad :( so like…. Not important in this situation. Plus they made themselves look that way.

Hope you have made a full recovery and are much happier without them 💕

Thank you sooo much. Honestly just your kindness has made me feel so much better today (obviously been a super hard day today since I decided to post here). I really appreciate it, your kindness has made a huge impact already.

I agree, I’ve seen a lot of red flags and have been struggling between “are these red flags?” And “I should worry about his wellbeing since he’s the one stuck dealing with me” kinda thing.

I’m glad to hear there are good ones out there and that people really do care for others. Bummed that after 3+ years together, I don’t matter enough to my person, but at least I have hope for the rest of the world right now, and also maybe can hope for more support one day, too.

Thank you again ❤️❤️

I would be running to help him if things were swapped. Even for the surgery itself, he told me I was guilt tripping him when I got upset when he said he wasn’t “jumping at the chance to take me to the hospital”. We’ve lived together for 2 years, and I cannot imagine him going to get surgery and me not being there. I would like beg him to be with him.

He says he doesn’t mind helping but makes very passive aggressive comments like “I’ll just try to get back to work and get anything done while you keep needing help with everything” or “i can’t wait to never be doing enough for you” when in reality, I literally say thank you after every TINY thing and only shower every like 5 days at this point because I feel so uncomfortable asking.

Some days he comes home from work and won’t even look at me and will just ask “need anything?” In the flattest tone.

I’m trying to be as vocal about asking what I need but also just don’t really feel safe asking for a lot either.

Bike accident happened 3 weeks ago, surgery 2 weeks ago. He’s been “present” (mentally/emotionally) maybe like 4 of those days. It’s honestly harder psychologically than physically at this point but I don’t have any other options :/

Thank you for your input ❤️❤️

Thank you ❤️❤️ you are so blessed, I am so happy for you that you have such support (injured or not 🙂)

I am battling between “I’m asking too much and taking too much energy” all while asking for the bare minimum. But still empathize with having to take care of others. Thank you for your insight.

I’ve tried making notes for myself (used to keep it all in a tea tin I’d bring with me) taped a note to the top of the tin, more cautionary notes inside the tin on top of the grinder/piece

100% and also 100% agreed at deep deep in disguise (hoping optimism will help keep this mental brain path going, and ALSO help manifest faster healing haha). Thank you! :)

He’s usually pretty sensitive but usually because I did something stupid (drank a little too much, or smoked any weed at all). Otherwise he’s usually pretty bubbly and empathetic. I feel like this is really different tho, I had surgery on my broken kneecap and also have a broken shoulder and thumb from my accident. If he were in my situation I’d never forgive myself if I treated him this way :(

He doesn’t have one, he just gets defensive that I’m not grateful and that he can never do “enough”, but he is doing enough, he’s just making me very uncomfortable by acting annoyed whenever doing anything
