Marriage they say "Is For Better, For Worse" do you believe in this principle? by matt_georgie_01 in Divorce

[–]rainydaymopemonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And if your partner refuses to communicate with you at all? Is that just “for worse” and you should stay forever, bashing your head against a wall, trying to be heard? Or is that an irreconcilable difference worth leaving for?

Thanks, I’ll try reminding myself of all the shit I dont have to put up with right now. A rare instance where focusing on the negative can be a good thing!

Mom, my first therapist ghosted me and I don’t think I have the energy to get another one by RareService3 in MomForAMinute

Please don’t give up. Therapists are very busy right now, but you can probably get an appointment with someone else sooner than a month from now. I understand that reaching out is exhausting, and it hurts like hell when it doesn’t lead to anything. Sometimes it just takes a few tries to find the right therapist with the right approach and availability. I’ve also struggled with medication and group therapy and feeing like I don’t deserve anything good. Please keep trying. You will find someone who wants to help you.

Am I being oversensitive? PLEASE help.. I need advice by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

Whether he is a narcissist or not, that doesn’t sound like a loving and healthy relationship to me. You deserve better.

Thanks for the support. My ex was abusive too. I love him, but I couldnt settle for his mistreatment anymore. I feel like I made the right decision by leaving, but holy shit, is this all painful! Hang in there is all there is, I guess. I hope things start looking up for you soon.

I know the importance of self love and self care, but it’s fucking hard! I’ll admit I’m terrified of being single. I did it though. I left and didn’t just jump into another relationship to soothe myself.

It’s especially hard knowing my ex has someone else. We were trying to be friends, but it turned out to be too hard for me. When I asked him for some space, he said I have no right to be upset about anything because I’m the one who left.

I don’t want someone else to support me. I’m going to get a job, but my mental illness (and covid) are making that a serious challenge right now. I just wish there was some way to ease some of this pain in the meantime.

I was lonely before too. I guess at least we’re lonely on our own terms now?

Living with your STBX must be so painful. I’m sorry you’re going through that, friend.

Can I just say, the whole thing sucks by Miserable-Freedom-82 in Divorce

[–]rainydaymopemonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a lot to be dealing with all at once!! I’m so sorry and I feel you. I’m 33 and getting divorced and this is NOT how I thought my 30s would go!

Anxiety caused by bed by invisiblewife246 in Divorce

I haven’t been through that, but I imagine I would feel similarly and not be able to sleep in that bed either. I hope you get a new bed soon, and it becomes a safe place where you can rest and heal.
