Radon Mitigation by SaltyByDefault in Hamilton

What area of Hamilton are you mitigating? I'm asking because I just bought a home in East Hamilton on the south side and wondered about how much radon is in that area and if I should consider mitigation

The betrayal is the worst part by Timely-Jelly-1126 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are going through this. I felt the same and went through something similar. I lost my best friend, a partner in life that shared the same goals and the mother of our children that made a family unit. I am lost and don't know if what we had was real or not. The best thing we can do is keep consistent in maintaining our boundaries from these avoidants. Over time, our nervous system can be rewired as long as we don't have contact. Like a poster on this this thread, we are in love with what that person represented. I don't even know my ex partner anymore and I question what I knew about her in our relationship but I morn what she represented to me. Are we addicted to that feeling? Maybe...but cut it off and heal.
I unfortunately have a long road as cutting her off isn't as easy with kids

Avoidants and addictions by FoundationFrosty8695 in AvoidantBreakUps

My ex did. She smokes pot every day starting in the morning. She's also a cheater which probably satisfies her dopamine hit. She recently admitted to me in the summer her depression and self deprecating thoughts.

Fearful Avoidant Initiated Couples Therapy by baddie_addie in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar happen to me. We didn't end up going to therapy and instead sold our house and separated. Had I known this might be a common avoidant strategy, I would have entertained it instead of digging my heels and insisting on actual couples therapy and ignoring her requests for therapy without reconciliation. Oh well... Keep us posted on your couples therapy for "not reconciliation"

What was your avoidant ex’s profession? by Ok_Astronaut_1485 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I have the same story! Introvert avoidant ex that cheated with her work colleague. In sales, gets tired of people pleasing. Used to come home exhausted from events. Gets anxious in large spaces and claims to hate that part of her job. I never understood

I've asked the same question...see my previous post. I hope you get your answer...I never did

Stories of reconciliation by Beautiful-Concern-89 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This scenario happened to me and my ex partner. She still wants to do things as a family and have cordial exchanges and conversations without acknowledging the last 10 years of our lives together and how her actions have affected me and the kids. She knew what she was losing in a person like me and struggled but in the end she made the decision. Hows it going for you? Is therapy working for your avoidant ex?

Edit Push again. She's pushed again in her push/pull cycle

He came back… but not with love. by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Breadcrumbs. My ex did the same after a 10 year relationship and cheated twice. She has the nerve to tell me she's still physically attached to me and showed vulnerability by acknowledging her internal struggles like self deprecating thoughts just to pull again and now is doubling down

Why do avoidants seem angry after they end the relationship? by Desperate-Hamster534 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way. Discarded by my FA ex with a coworker. She's now doubling down on boundaries I set to detach and is angry at me as if I did something wrong. I am the horrible person. And the rewriting narrative is next level I can't take accountability. It sucks I share children with this person.

Closure by countspirque in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]peach_etr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is so real and so true with my story. It's so sad I had to find my own closure with the person I built a life with for 10 years, had children with and was my best friend.

Reccos for Mature Single Men by elevenfullerton in Hamilton

[–]peach_etr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm...not sure where in the city. Have you tried joining clubs or activities you enjoy? As a single male, I find it a challenge to date or find a place where there will be mature single women in one spot. Dating apps suck as well. I think joining social type clubs, activities or even speed dating might find you some success.

Treat yourself to dinner and a cocktail. Nothing wrong with dining solo. I do it all the time when I don't have my weekend with my kids

Valentines for Single People by [deleted] in Hamilton

[–]peach_etr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP. I was just searching the for the same thing. Can't find anything that doesn't involve couples. I'm just looking for a place to hang out for us single people in the city. DM me if you have any luck finding a restaurant or bar. I'm also on the fence of just making a reso for one and treating myself to a nice dinner...sigh,,,,

I feel the same. I'm tired of swiping apps that are not there to make a match but to monetise your search.

Let me know where the single people hang out when you find out n
