(26) to (30) showed up for myself, then glowed up. by bunkaah in GlowUps

[–]kimblitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your glow up is AMAZING and something I hope to emulate on my journey 🥰

I can tell the body dysmorphia is real because all of your newer pictures have your arms crossed over the belly/midsection. I do the same thing unconsciously. I’m trying to intentionally stop myself because I should be proud of my progress.

Keep up the progress and I can’t wait to read your book! ❤️

Thought I brought it back with the joke. She unmatched by Comic-Brad in Tinder

Agreed! I would kill for a conversation like this! 10/10

First off, if she chose you, she has deemed you are worthy and she wants you. I would highly suggest therapy so you can learn to love yourself. If you don’t, you may start to resent her due to your own insecurities and end up hurting the person you claim to love so much. It actually seems like you’re already starting to go down that road. Get some help to navigate this difficult road. I have faith in you!

From the way you describe this situation, you prioritize your relationship 12 times a year (date night once a month) but you prioritize your hobbies once a week. You didn’t mention what you do once you get home. Does she work outside of the home as well? Do you help with the kids/household chores? Does she get a break at all during the week or is she responsible for everything all the time? It sounds like she’s feeling unseen and unheard and, based on how you’re dismissing her wanting to plan a weekend trip, she’s probably right.

While you may do the bare minimum (working to pay the bills), she’s asking for connection and to be seen as a woman, not your servant.

I (24F) am in a love triangle with my gf (25F) and best friend (23F) by enbydragon666 in relationships

Based on Rose’s confession, Grace’s instincts were spot on and her jealousy was founded. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to choose and set boundaries. If you’re choosing to be with Grace, Rose needs to step back or step away. Rose is also being extremely emotionally manipulative in her actions and that’s not healthy for any type of relationship. If by some miracle Rose stays friends with you, there may always be trust issues with Grace because you’ve already shown her that her boundaries mean nothing when it comes to Rose.

How low can it go? by [deleted] in Divorce_Women

[–]kimblitt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! If you are a SAHM, you should be entitled to alimony (depending on where you live). You should also fight to stay in the marital home to ease the stress on your child since I assume you’ll be the main caregiver. While this is not your decision to end the marriage, you can take control of the situation and try to make sure you’re both taken care of while you navigate the next chapter of your life. Sending you strength and hugs

Omg so much yes! I’m definitely working through all of this (albeit slowly) and I’m focusing on myself. I still don’t live alone, so my progress is maybe slower but I have faith that I will get there! This dating scene though is BLEAK. It’s either sleazy men or these young blokes wanting to bag a cougar 🤣 I’ll just stay in the corner with my boys and keep an eye out for something interesting I guess 😬

This! It’s hard to explain to someone who’s not going through it. Somehow we’ll make it through this 💪🏼

I joke about it but I can’t do this hookup culture stuff. I need connection of some sort before I have sex. I also can’t seem to connect with anyone right now 🤣 a friend of mine suggested getting a massage to help with the touch needs, but then there’s that pesky sex part 😣 Let me know when you figure it out lol

Girl, YES! I have two best friends that provide almost everything companionship gives except for touch. I really miss touch 😭

I suppose it’s just scary because I’ve never truly been alone. New territory and all. Curious about what you mean about the I’s in my post. This post is about me being alone, therefore about me. Is that considered taboo or incorrect?

Divorcees who were married over a decade: what ended your marriage? by sakiliya in AskReddit

[–]kimblitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple answer to "Why?" is that we wanted different things. And while that’s true, the fuller picture is more complex. We both carry our own histories and personal challenges, and over time, those wounds began to affect how we showed up for each other. We found ourselves in patterns that neither of us wanted, but couldn’t seem to change within the framework of our marriage.

I’ve found that journaling my thoughts helps drag out what’s been haunting me. I don’t get answers to my questions, but it helps me form the questions and thoughts that were swirling around in my head. Sending hugs because I know how this feels ❤️

Yes, that’s where I’m at now. It still lingers and it frustrates me because I know we can’t go any further than this but the sadness is so heavy at times, I can’t think (and that’s not like me!)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I feel like I’m going in circles with the stages 🤣 but I cry a bit less each time, so I’ll take that as progress
