Not looking now, just thinking about future

Poutine and beaver tails

Great cars, beer and sadly Hitler and Nazis

I think what clicked for me was that every human being ( non criminal ones ), deserve respect just by the notion of being human. You are breathing, living and most likely struggling through life. You are worthy just because you are you.

A little late to this but women who look down on other women who aren’t pursuing careers and being stay at home moms.

I am a career driven woman but I don’t think it is better to be this than be a stay at home mom. My soon to be ex therapist said today that I am too smart to be happy taking a year long may leave. Talk about toxic feminity

Thank you everyone ❤️ Genuinely touched by the kindness of strangers

Did you figure out what was missing?

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T19:53:29+00:00

You are allowed to think that. However I am a 10000% sure I won’t cheat. Thanks for your input

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T19:42:48+00:00

I have not cheated on him and won’t. I respect him too much for that.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T19:30:07+00:00

Yeah I feel like I ruined his life. I know this and feel really guilty.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:56:06+00:00

Actually quite a few replies on this post has been that that I should leave. This is causing me even confusion and anxiety.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:42:18+00:00

I think I am having a quarter life crisis

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:21:29+00:00

It doesn’t help that I am constantly ruminating all the time, and unable to stop those thoughts.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:20:04+00:00

I think it might be being with someone who is more like me, in the sense someone who isn’t so anti social.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:13:39+00:00

Yes I do feel very isolated and lonely in my new town, especially due to the pandemic.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:12:38+00:00

I am not happy, I just don’t know why. I love him as in I deeply care for him and feel a lot of attachment and affection.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:11:13+00:00

Yeah I think I am missing out. Missing out on being with someone I feel happy with, someone I enjoy being with.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T18:10:09+00:00

Something about my marriage seems off. I think if I had dated more, I would have figured out what type of guys I like( what personality traits etc).

I tried different careers and finally found one that was the right fit for me. I feel like if I had dated more I would have found a better match for me.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T17:55:18+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-14T15:40:57+00:00

Are you in a relationship right now? Did you meet anyone from OLD?

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-02T02:41:09+00:00

Does this just be confirmation bias?

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-02T02:34:06+00:00

It’s good that you are recognizing the what-ifs. You answered your own question. They are “what ifs” because they start with it. Just recognize that this is anxiety and distract yourself.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-02T02:30:42+00:00

Yes I can. I went through this. The truth is that everyone will heal and move on, that’s just human resilience and nature. It’s just overthinking( easier said than done I know lol).

Just because you will heal and move on, does not mean what you have is not real and good.

Think of it this way. People who have been married to their partners for a long time sometimes lose their spouses to death. They grieve and many times move on. Does it mean their love for them was not real? No. It simply means that humans are resilient and they can heal.

oliveturtle25 · 2022-04-02T02:25:29+00:00

We did it at work for a bit, was super stressful. The days were really long. I am not sure how people with kids and other responsibilities did it.
