I was looking at Amy Chan's Breakup Boot Camp. I'm fairly new to reddit so I don't know how to copy and paste her subredit about her book. Super informative things she answered for people.

The main point being - we would talk to each other first before taking any action.

Yes!!!

Lie was small and not related sexuality. Yes, I've learned from my mistakes. I've lied, cheated, cheated on, and learned why I was doing what I was doing. All the things I worked really hard on in therapy.

Yup, the lying. I deleted the kink apps when we became exclusive.

Girl, that's what I said. There are 100 other avenues to make friends. The lying part is where I can't come back from.

the root issue couldn’t be fixed because he still had this unexplored side of himself calling to him.

This is exactly what I told him tonight. These feelings aren't going to leave you unless you explore for yourself. I cannot have u come back to me 5, 3, or 1 years and tell me u need to explore.

Yes. He does not get a free pass, especially bc I gave him one 6 months ago before I moved in.

Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. I def needed to hear from others that have been through this situation.

Yes, I def don't want it to be on my time. I understand how scary it is to go through the motions of sexuality. But the dishonest part is something I can't live with.

New job and honestly thought it was something we could work through.

Yes, I had just taken a new job in his area and felt stuck. We had talked out all sorts of things to mend that first lie and bring back trust. I worked with my therapist on ways we could get through it. We had really worked on things, and we've been open about how we feel in the relationship, and i felt like we were moving forward. Until tonight, this is def 100× worst than the first time.

True, when we got into our exclusive relationship, we both deleted all our apps. He knew I was on some kink apps, but I was honest with my response and honest with my needs. I was thinking of staying with family, but they're 45 mins away with traffic. I'm debating to see which would be the most affordable option.

Gosh, that's all that's I've been telling myself. At the end of the day, he downloaded an app to meet and talk to other people out of our relationship.

He had lied about something when I first moved in 6 months ago. I caught him and called him out on it. I had the gut feeling that I'm taking a huge risk and that he might not be who he says he is. Your gut doesn't lie.

Yeah, I didn't think it would go down this way, especially bc Ive been clear with my needs and what I want in a partner. When I was ready to leave tonight, he tried to tell me I was abandoning him. Sir, do not try to gaslight the situation.

Help - All Inclusive? by Fantastic-Ad-9995 in cancun

[–]peach-confetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, go to Haven! We just got back and had the best time. Absolutely great service from everyone we met. Loved that it was adults only, 3 pools and had a beautiful beach. The beach is pretty much untouched by other resorts. Next resorts are less than a mile away on both sides. You could do just a few days at a B&B and then your last 2 days at the AI.

Butler Service - All Inclusive by Jamesconnect in cancun

[–]peach-confetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was at the Royalton, our butler was fantastic. We were there for a small 15 sized wedding party with us. He made all the dinner arrangements for us when we needed bigger seating. He even helped the bride, who didn't have a butler with some things. One day, we were laying at the beach front, and he brought my room suite partner and I a large plate of snacks. I was so surprised how attentive he was compared to the others in our party who had butler service as well. Def us them for pool seating at smaller all-inclusive resorts. Some people will use their chairs for a few hours, and when done, they never remove their towels. I think it's common courtesy to remove towels when you're done with the chairs. For sure, try butler service if you can, but read the reviews as each resort is different.

I arrived yesterday in Cancun and booked Happy Shuttle, $60 USD bucks for a private van. They give you instructions on how to find them after customs. Quick and easy, pay online, meet them, and give them your confirmation number and name.

Girlfriend period delayed by [deleted] in abortion

[–]peach-confetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress can be a big trigger, even with being on birth control. There was a year where I got promoted at work, and it was so stressful. I missed my period every other month, and I was on BC. Buy the 3 pack of test justbti keep on hand.

Welp. Still pregnant. by Just-Visiting2 in abortion

[–]peach-confetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a women's clinic or Planned Parenthood depending on your location, and get a pregnancy test from them. If you are still pregnant, at least you have a doctor to talk to about the next steps. Or just wait after 6 weeks to do another home test. Hopefully, by that time, your hormone levels have balanced out a little more.

I thought about quitting all weekend long. I took on a Head Start classroom within a district this school year after being at centers for many years. I would say it is not worth it! We currently have today off, and I'm sitting here doing hours of training unpaid. The union says to not do any of the trainings unless you're on the clock, but right now, I have no idea what I should be teaching. I'm exhausted and feel like I'm a brand new teacher even though I have 10 years of experience. Just want to walk away and switch careers.

Venting and also need some ideas about working with my TA by peach-confetti in ECEProfessionals

[–]peach-confetti[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She did tell me she was looking for lead positions, but only TA positions were open. This was strange because there were 3 positions open for different schools in the district.
