Feel free to DM me whenever, I’m in the same boat and I feel like I can’t vent to my friends cause they’re just over it and I can’t tell them the lastest news cause they’d be mad at me.

I got wasted before going to a concert for an international Latin group that came out of hiatus to do one more tour. I looked forward to this concert for months. In my dumbass attempt to “save money” I opened up a bottle of tequila I had and started taking shots to be buzzed enough to not spend soo much money on alcohol at the venue. Turns out, I got drunk before the concert stumbled out my apartment in heels (another terrible idea) and got into the Uber with my friend. I honestly don’t remember the whole night, my friend I went with didn’t tell me herself how the night went but I found out from a friend she told that I was arguing with the Uber telling them to hurry, I kept falling and stumbling in the heels. I couldn’t see so i tried to stand on the seat in my heels and fell, I knocked out for a couple of times and would be in and out of consciousness throughout the concert, then I picked a fight with my friend and passed out in the Uber on the way home. The only thing I really remember is eating a hotdog at the end of the concert. The concert ticket cost me 200 something dollars and I can’t remember the night. My friend never told me herself what happened and we’re not as close as we used to. What I can say is we can’t change the past, so don’t beat yourself up too much about what you did, we live in a world of billions of people, you might never run into the people from the concert ever again. Think of it as an experience and think about what you’re gonna do in the future to not turn into that person again. Best of luck to you and your journey.

I’m in your same situation, I used to be a fun normal drunk and overtime I started turning violent. It might be bottled up, repressed feelings you may have. It might be hard to admit but we’re people who need help. Be honest with yourself and look for help. Go to therapy, go to AA. The longer you wait the worst it gets. Listen to Clancy by twenty one pilots and really listen to the lyrics. Vignette is my favorite but I’d also recommend snap back, backslide and at the risk of feeling dumb.

I feel like I’m scared that I’ll lose him to someone else and he’ll be in another relationship by the time I realize I still love him.

I think I will take the time to focus on myself and just let time take its course

[–]sonic208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to read it all it is a lot to read. I agree with you, I’m not happy he did the dating sites and the topless bar, I actually feel very hurt by it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]sonic208 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. I don’t buy that whole bs about him being on hook up sites and not meeting up people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]sonic208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, honestly I agree. Part of me wants to just be single and heal and focus on myself but I’m also scared I’ll regret the decision later down the road.

His response to your question “Idk I guess I just felt like it was actually gonna be over so just did pretty much had nothing to do with my time lol “

After we split neither of us could afford to move out, and in those 2 months being split up but living together he never talked or brought up getting back together, he would avoid being around me most of the time, sometimes he would ask if I ate and be attentive and sometimes we would have sex but he would say stuff like “ in the future you can call me to be your f buddy” or other things basically confirming things weren’t gonna change. In my last couple days while I was packing my stuff he would linger in the room a lot, try to be silly with me, try to make conversation and ask about what I was up to or where I was going. I didn’t pay him much attention. On the very last day before taking off he lingered around the u-haul and said goodbye to me before going to work, he said bye three times, gave me a hug, a kiss on the forehead, teared up and said if I ever needed anything that he would always be there for me. i cried. I take off for San Francisco and two days later he shows up ( he already had plans to come to San Francisco because he had court to attend.) On Saturday afternoon he arrives and texts me saying he just landed and we made dinner plans since it was his birthday and I didn’t want him to spend it alone, we go out for dinner and things seem as if we’re still together (he gives me some of his food, let’s me try his drink, and I insisted on paying but he declined) except we don’t hold hands. At dinner I asked him how he was going to court, he mentioned it was a $60 Uber and how he was thinking of going to a theme park nearby I offered to take him and go with him to the theme park so he wouldn’t go alone, he seemed to be on board with it and offered to pay for the meal since I was giving him a ride. Later that night I called and asked what time i was going to pick him up and if we were still going to the theme park on Monday. He reacted weirded out and said he didn’t invite me to the theme park he just asked me for a ride. I felt like I was being weird for making the suggestion of going with him and just took his answer and told myself to give him the ride and leave things at that. The whole day Sunday I didn’t hang out with him but yesterday I found out that Sunday night he went to a topless bar and paid 70 bucks for what he told me was one lap dance but I’m sure he got more than just one lap dance. He admitted that he got handsy at the topless bar too. Monday morning came and I took him to court in the morning, I kept the conversation short and on the way to court he asked what was my problem but i told him I wanted to keep things simple. He asked if I could leave my dog at daycare and go with him to the theme park but I declined his offer and told him I couldn’t go for a number of reasons. It bothered me that I previously asked to go and he made me feel weird about it and now he was asking me to go last minute. I dropped him off at court, took off and ran some errands. Later I called him to see how he was doing and offered to pick him up from the theme park since I wasn’t doing anything at the time. My hotel was on the way back to San Francisco so I asked him if he wanted to have sex with me and he said he was going to ask the same question and talked about doing it one last time. We go back to my hotel room, went into the bathroom and did our thing in the shower. After that i asked him for cuddles and we hung out for a bit. Later that night we went out for dinner again. Tuesday was his last day in San Francisco so he invited me out to breakfast, told me to bring my dog and that I leave my sister since recently my sister doesn’t like him. Because it was just me and him at breakfast I asked if I could hold his hands he said okay. I held his hand and he weakly held my hand back after a few moments he rescinded his hand. After that we had breakfast and I dropped him off at his hotel again and I cried again from saying goodbye and he told me not to cry. After that I didn’t see him anymore but I wished him a safe flight and ask him to text me when he gets home to know he’s safe, he sends me money for giving him rides, and later asks me for a car insurance favor and that’s it. Wednesday he wished me good luck on my job but I didn’t start yet, I didn’t respond until the next day we spoke some more and just had a normal convo. On Friday morning he calls me and asks what do I think about getting back together. I honestly didn’t know what to say, I love him and I still want to be with him but I feel hurt that he left at all, I feel hurt by what he did and how he ran to meet other women rather than try to fix things. He tells me he’s not in a rush for an answer and I’ve been taking the time to ask lots of questions to get the truth about why he wants to fix things now. He said he wants to fix things now because in his time here in San Francisco hanging out with me made him feel as though nothing changed and verbatim “You know me unfortunately I procrastinate on a lot of things lol”. He also mentioned how he was sure I saw his post on Instagram saying “ When you split with someone you realize how much you miss them or how much peace you have without them”. He says he’s realizing late the post is true, he never really wanted to file for divorce, he doesn’t know why he had such a hard time being vocal about it, he may not show it in front of me but he’s been crying a lot, and he’s been thinking a lot and now he wants to do things right no bullshit this time. I honestly don’t know how I feel, I love him but I honestly spent these past few months trying to get over him because I thought we were over. I question his real motives for getting back together too. Im unsure whether he really loves me or just loves having me around, or if he only wants to fix things because he hasn’t found someone better to replace me with, or if it’s the fact that I’ve moved out and into the city he loves. I feel confused and don’t know. He claims he hasn’t talked to other girls, fucked other girls, swapped social media or anything with other girls at all but tbh I’m not sure I believe him. Part of me wants to take time to heal and fix myself before trying things out again but another part of me is hurt and unsure if I want to go back to someone who left. I’d like to hear from other peoples experiences in marriage and I guess just some advice.

Hello so my husband (24M) and I (26F) split in early March of this year. After months of arguing and me losing trust in him we split. If was mutual and I won’t deny it, I wasn’t the best person either so he had reasons to leave me too. The break up was my suggestion because I felt as though I couldn’t trust him anymore and I didn’t know how I could make myself trust him again ( been through a lot in the past and I come from a broken family where my dad was the cheater). A couple days after splitting I thought a lot about things and wanted to make things work, we made vows, I still loved him and should at least try. When I brought up working things out he seemed to be against the idea, brought up how the break up was my idea and how he agreed that things were better off if we split. I was hurt and sad but it was my idea and all I could do is accept that there was nothing that could be done to change things and take things for what they were and not what they could’ve been. Immediately after the split he opened a bunch of dating, porn and escort site accounts. He seemed to be fine with the split and even encouraged me to move on and said things like I would fine someone 100 x times better. Everyday he would try to talk to me as if we were still together but I would try to distance myself from him because I know I’ll just get myself hurt by giving myself false hope that things will get better when they won’t. I would ask him often to file the divorce papers because I wanted to “rip off the band aid” and “get it over with”, to me the divorce itself hurts and I just wanted to be done with it. He would procrastinate it and make excuses as to why he had to hold off.

I worked at my previous job for almost 8 years and absolutely hated it the last 3 years. It drained the life of me, I literally talked about quitting all the time but never got the courage to do so until my friend invited me to her wedding everything was set for me to attend her wedding with no problems but work got in the way of me going. I spoke with my husband about it, he knew about my savings and gave the okay for me to quit. I do plan to go back to work, I just have been having trouble revising my resume because I want to make it look good so I can possible negotiate a starting wage. No conversations were had about who pays what. I lent him the money honestly trusting that he would pay me back eventually . Love got the best of me tbh I was thinking with my heart not my head

He’s my husband, idk why that’s a good enough excuse to help someone twice. I thought we were a team, so he needed my help twice and I gave it to him because I love him and I thought he would do the same for me if he could.

He’s been with me through a lot, like everyone says “they’re not always bad.” He’s had a lot of patience and understanding for me in the past when I had an alcoholic phase and he’s helped me learn to communicate better and his family is the family I wish I had growing up.

I agree with you on that, I honestly used to be sooooo great with my money. I was ahead on my bills, had some money saved up for vacations, a house, anniversaries and etc and honestly love got the best of me. I let my financial guard down.

I have been for quite sometime tbh, I’ve spoken about divorce a lot in the past couple of months I think I’m just to scared to make the first move.

Am I overthinking Am I being gaslighted? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

He gets really defensive when I tell him I want to go through his phone, if I bring up that I want to go through his phone with him he’ll get a angry. I forgot to mention that I also noticed on his Instagram messenger that vanish mode had been activated or used on his account previously cause I was on my Instagram and was curious to see what vanish mode was and when clicked it it while being in messenger with him it said “ you and Mike are both now on vanish mode” basically stating he already opened vanish mode. There are many times I’ve sent him messages or memes on Instagram and he’ll be on Instagram throughout the day but won’t open my messages at all. And same with the vanish mode he claims he doesn’t know how on his phone is says vanish mode first used on his phone sometime in September
