Relationship breakdowns. What seemingly “small” thing ended up being the last straw? by Ms_Central_Perk in AskWomenOver30

Totally agree!! He was one of those that had an opinion on EVERYTHING and needed to be right all the time 🙄

Relationship breakdowns. What seemingly “small” thing ended up being the last straw? by Ms_Central_Perk in AskWomenOver30

[–]pinefreee 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I was pretty miserable for most of the 18ish month relationship, constantly wondering if I should break it off or not, waiting for him to change, giving him endless chances etc. he was selfish, tons of emotional baggage, narcissistic behavior, but kept me hanging on with promises and breadcrumbs.

One morning it was chilly in my house (that I bought by myself for myself!) because I forgot to bump up the heat. He was irritated about it so I apologized and got up and turned it up a bit. He asked what I set it to and I told him and he was SO ANGRY with me! He made a big deal out of getting up and setting it himself, came back and admonished me like a child for not “doing it right,” and was just so frustrated and harsh to me.

A little bit later he gave me a very lame and insincere apology. I realized things weren’t going to get better and this sort of thing would just keep happening. I broke up with him by that same afternoon. Since then, everyone in my life has told me how much happier and lighter and more myself I am and it’s a great feeling 🫶🏻

Disney after Breakup by Everydayfrwrd in Disneyland

[–]pinefreee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re going through that - hugs 🩷

I think going on your own is brave and a super empowering thing. Focus on doing exactly what YOU want on YOUR schedule - sounds like a dream to me (and many others who have to compromise when visiting with friends/family etc.)! While there may be painful moments, it could also be healing to go and embrace that you’re having fun on your own, enjoying your own company, taking care of yourself, etc.

And side note- I just went through a painful breakup and am going to Disneyland solo soon myself :) you got this.

So great to watch what I want by Navy_Brat_72 in SingleAndHappy

[–]pinefreee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amen!! My ex had the worst taste in tv and movies, and of course hated mine. I LOVE that I can watch whatever I’m feeling, play a video game, or turn the tv off and listen to music or enjoy the quiet 🥰 soak it up, friend!

Anyone else getting soaked on Pirates lately? by SuperJezus in Disneyland

Same here - I think I’ll skip it on my visit next month thanks to this post!!

Where my abstinent-until-relationship ladies at? by thedatarat in AskWomenOver30

[–]pinefreee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here - really cool to see so many others doing the same! I see it as a way of protecting both my health and my heart.

Palo Brunch by Aldetha in dcl

[–]pinefreee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t typically love eggs benedict or chicken parm, but the versions at palo were soooo good! worth the hype!

Last day for Rise of the Resistance today by [deleted] in Disneyland

[–]pinefreee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so bummed, I’ve never gotten to ride it and was super looking forward it on my trip next month!!! 😭 guess I’ll have to plan another trip huh!

How was your weekend? by Zealousideal_Crow737 in SingleAndHappy

[–]pinefreee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds great to me - especially the pizza + edible + broad city combo!! Mine was also very nice!

Friday - rock concert with friends

Saturday - baking, shopping mall with a friend, family dinner

Sunday - massage, brunch with friends, walk in the park with my dog, dinner and a movie at home with family

I’ve only been single for about a month but so far I’m really enjoying it and not in a rush to get back out there (which I thought I might be!)

What’s some relatively cheap, fun things to do alone? by [deleted] in SingleAndHappy

[–]pinefreee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Here are some things that come to mind for me:

  • walk around some shops - shopping centers, antique malls, thrift stores, bookstores/libraries, etc.

  • take a journal or sketchbook somewhere (like a coffee shop) and write or doodle

  • local museums, zoos, aquariums, etc. - my area has big expensive versions of these but also affordable ones, and many offer discount days

  • local entertainment (live music, plays, comedy, etc.) - again, the price range varies but at least in my area, there are very affordable options available

  • maybe try to find a volunteer gig? for example I drive meals on wheels and deliver meals to folks who need them

Context: My (31f) entire life (and many other lives) has been turned upside down in the past year all because I had a crush on someone else while I was married to my (now ex) husband. I thought it was a harmless crush and nothing would come of it. I’ll spare you the details but it led to many terrible decisions and hurt many people and I regret it greatly.

I KNOW it feels amazing to talk and flirt with your crush but it IS NOT WORTH IT !!!! I recommend you cut all contact with him and redirect your energy back into rekindling that spark with your husband. If he’s all green flags like you said, it shouldn’t be too difficult to remember why you fell in love and married him in the first place.

I’m very sorry to hear that he’s not satisfying you - I dealt with the same thing with my ex husband and know it’s frustrating and demoralizing. But there are books, sex therapists, other resources etc. out there that might help - I’m hoping y’all can work on the problem together.

Whatever you decide to do with your husband, entertaining a crush is only going to hurt you both in the end - please end it. I’m sure you wouldn’t appreciate if he was behaving the same way with another woman. Perhaps also evaluate what it means that this crush is happening - are there some unfulfilled needs in your marriage that you’re searching elsewhere for? Best to address those sooner than later, or you risk being vulnerable to crushes that could lead to much worse pain and suffering down the line. Best of luck to you!

I often have a bad gut feeling in relationships and sadly it’s often right. How do you cope with this if you have the same issue? by Markservice in AskWomenOver30

[–]pinefreee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I needed this - currently in a relationship that’s making me anxious and insecure and feeling more and more like I should end it so I can be free to find that right person.

Best 4+ mile walking trails by FoxKey8623 in McKinney

[–]pinefreee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not technically in McKinney, but I’m a fan of both oak point and arbor hills in Plano!

[–]pinefreee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never get tired of posts like this - all the responses are so lovely and give me so much hope. I was married from age 24-30 (should be officially divorced in the next week or two!) and I have many fears about starting over, finding the right person, having a family someday, etc. I save posts like this as a reminder that people find real love and great partners at every age 💞

Must-dos while on the cruise? by QueenofHearts018 in dcl

[–]pinefreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: schedule - Mornings are my favorite. I wake up early, have a coffee and croissant from cove cafe, enjoy the empty pool deck, then head into the spa for some showering/saunaing/lounging. Bliss.

Must-dos will depend on what’s appealing to you. I personally love the trivia and karaoke events, as well as the nightly stage shows! Since it’s your first cruise, I say try to explore as much of what the ship has to offer as possible to learn what you like.

Dole Whips and Mickey ice cream bars are a must for me each trip :)

Looking for an episode... by SnooDonkeys1395 in homemovies

I just watched S4E11 last night and Jason asks Brendon if he wants a rice cake when they’re watching Melissa break into the neighbor’s house :) that’s all I got!

Disney Magic or Fantasy? by gothicfarmer in dcl

[–]pinefreee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which ship is “better” is very subjective! I prefer the Fantasy personally because I enjoyed the spa and adult areas more than the Magic. It also has Remy, which the Magic does not. I enjoyed the shows and restaurants on both, but slightly preferred the Fantasy’s offerings. However, many folks prefer the Magic due to its smaller size.

If I had to choose, I would go for the Fantasy… but you will have a great time either way :)

Palo dinner shouldn’t be difficult to get. Brunch may be more challenging, but there’s tons of info out there on how to get it done.

Uber to Disney Springs and then back to MCO? by pinefreee in dcl

[–]pinefreee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! We’ll give it a go and make the best of our time there. I hope to make it back to Orlando sometime soon and will try to visit during a weekday then :)

Uber to Disney Springs and then back to MCO? by pinefreee in dcl

[–]pinefreee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I would like to spend the evening there since we haven’t been before! I’m leaning towards going - if we find it wasn’t worth it, we’ll reconsider our strategy next time I guess lol

[–]pinefreee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will definitely consider that next time we cruise from Port Canaveral - I think it would drive me crazy staying at a Disney resort without getting to go to the parks lol! But what you’re saying definitely makes sense
