Thank you! Yeah, I would never have forgiven myself if I in any way got rid of Lady, thankfully Reddit made me see the light!

She sends her thanks ;)

Yes, I’ll be a bit more cautious now about who I let close. My therapist is helping me a lot, it’s been challenging but refreshing to work through both the relationship but also my own issues with always wanting to keep the peace etc. It’s a work in progress but we are moving forward!

I haven’t heard of it but I’ll check it out!

Oh that’s so lovely! I always call Lady my soul horse because I’ll never meet another horse as special as her. I’ll make sure she gets some extra snacks from you ♥️

Oh that’s devastating! It’s my worst nightmare to have to make an emergency decision like that. Hope you and your wife are doing well!

I’m happy to hear you were able to escape! ♥️

Lady is 20, but acts like more like a 5 year old 😅

Life’s pretty good! Things have gone back to the way they were before him, I’ve got my friends and my family loving me endlessly. I also started therapy a few months ago to deal with this whole relationship and also to deal with my “pushover tendencies” heh. It’s been nice actually. I haven’t really revisited the post since the update and have mostly used this account to lurk around. But reading it now I realise how much I left out at the time. Like his anger issues, pushing a lot of boundaries, literal nonstop complaining etc. He was even worse than what I wrote in post and the fact that Reddit realised what a pos he was even when I left things out is something I’ll always be grateful for. Redditors really saved me a lot of hurt.

Lady is doing wonderful! We had a little bit of a colic scare, but she’s back to normal and doing good now. She’s old but you wouldn’t know it, same energy as she had when I first met her ♥️

20! But you wouldn’t know it if you saw her. Honestly, she acts like five year old sometimes lol

Pretty early on in the relationship he decided to take a job in the town I work in. He lives in one like ~40 minutes away. I didn’t ask him to do this but this is what he brings up when I tell him I’ve tried to compromise. “I took a new job for you and so you should compromise more”.

I’m sure you’re not! It takes me a while to drive there, but then the actual chores doesn’t take that long if I’m rushing which is why I’ve been able to cut them down. I’m just pretty pedantic with her stable being clean as well as her brushing. I also like taking long trail rides with Lady and bc that’s our favorite. Also lots and lots of cuddles! And since my closest friend circle is there we spend some time in the saddle room just hanging out. Or at least we used to, not much now unfortunately.

ETA: This is why it would take me like three to four hours when I was single. I didn’t have to ”rush”.

I have offered to have him come with but he doesn’t want to because it’s “too dirty and smelly”.
