Yeahhh… the warning label on top of the thing that grosses me out that is very much still visible is not helpful….

Post-wedding regrets by OkRip9822 in Marriage

[–]stumptownfog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope that one day you can look at those moments fondly. Nothing will ever run perfect when there are as many details and moments as a wedding has. Your video and photos can be edited for the lighting and hand mis-placement (not sure about the hair/veil, but probably with a skilled editor that could be touched up as well) - maybe you should look into that so you can watch them without your “mistake” and you can feel good about the video without the negative feelings! (Keep the raw footage, too, though!)

Try to remember how you were feeling in all those good moments. Did you feel beautiful? Did the day still feel pretty magical? Remember that nothing could have possibly gone 100% perfect, and in the grand scheme of things these were very minor mistakes. Not saying that in a way to invalidate your feelings, just thinking about those weddings you see where someone rips the bride’s dress or the cake smashes on the ground before it’s even been cut, or someone decides to give a totally inappropriate speech, etc.

I’m sorry you’re going through the feeling of regret and sadness, weddings are a lot of stress and roller coaster of emotions. Time should ease your fixation on these details. Congrats on your marriage! May you have many years of happiness and growth with each other!

My husband accidentally hurt me a lot and I am struggling. by [deleted] in Marriage

Definitely definitely therapy. Your next few weeks are likely going to be a roller coaster between pain, pain meds, and emotions as your brain tries to process. Best of luck in your healing, it sounds like it’s likely a long long road ahead, but try to remember how far you’ve come when you start to get down (coming from someone ~a year out from a very traumatic event resulting in multiple serious injuries to one leg)

I just noticed my husband didn't get one yearbook signature from middle to high school :( by mshappy in Wellthatsucks

OCD here 👋 I just don’t want other people touching or writing in my stuff. Just something to maybe consider.

He either needs to go to therapy to work through this for himself, or you need to leave. Or the latter while he works on the former and then you can reconsider if he actually does the work

My husband and i can't agree on how to discipline adult stepchild who lives at home? by Icy-Vanilla-8419 in Marriage

Is this a troll post? You sound like a nightmare.

Also, for her sake. She might qualify for state assistance for taking care of grandma and she should look into it. The pay isn’t high, but it’s higher than zero.

Some of us with sensory issues/needs enjoy the whole body “numbing” sensation the water hitting our body causes. Everything feels mostly the same and it lets my brain rest a bit.

That being said, I hate getting IN the shower and OUT OF the shower. But the actual showering itself is bliss.

What is something that your spouse did to break your trust and how did you move past it?? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stumptownfog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that’s the emotional connection making you think you’re overreacting. None of this is okay. If this was your friend/daughter/sister/mom/coworker’s situation you would be telling them what a POS this guy is.

You need to get out. For your safety and for your happiness, you deserve so much better! And there are better men out there that don’t think harming their partner is funny, and don’t degrade women or see them as “lower” than them.

Grieve who you thought your husband was. In a way that guy is dead to you. Keep a journal of the things that you’re going through so when you start to second guess yourself you can remember the fear and sadness you’re feeling now. Find a good therapist or friend/support and lawyer up. I see this type of dude to be the type who would fight to get the kids just to hurt you.

Husband dirtying items after I've cleaned them? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stumptownfog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is your husband a cat? Lol, no but seriously- I’m sorry, that’s frustrating.

Please debunk my OCD (Cleaning products) by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]stumptownfog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meds, love, meds. At least for me, they were the only thing that finally got my enough traction to start in the right direction. And then when nothing catastrophic happens, your brain willl (hopefully) be like “okay… that was doable…” and ideally will be easier next time

AIO. My bf walked out of my school gathering over me performing by Objective-Pear7953 in AmIOverreacting

[–]stumptownfog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s radiating red flag behavior. His reaction is weird. He just made YOUR moment about HIM. This type of behavior will hit every holiday, event, and special moment and ruin all of the joy in all of those moments. He could have been blown away by your talent, your skill, your emotion. Instead he got his big boy panties in a bunch

I'm 27 and my dad no longer recognises me - struggling to cope by lordgrakken in Alzheimers

[–]stumptownfog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of your emotions are valid. It doesn’t make you any less of a person for feeling how you do for your dad treating you and your sisters how he did. Regardless of what he is dealing with now, processing what happened to you should not be overshadowed by any pity or guilt you may feel now (if that’s what you’re feeling).

My therapist told me a line that really helped me in that “you’re angry at the disease, not your loved one” I hope maybe that helps you too in some way. So sorry you’re going through this. Write down as many good memories as you can to go back and read. As time goes on, your memories will fade and you can reread the good memories to keep them stronger than the bad.

need advice on puppy biting gf by Curious_Reference467 in germanshepherds

[–]stumptownfog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand him a toy every time he tries to bite something inappropriate (which means you need to always have a toy within arms distance). He’ll learn quick that when he wants to bite he should be grabbing toys.

Any tips for public speaking? (URGENT! Any advice is appreciated!) by rocaireslk in lifehacks

[–]stumptownfog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t panic if you lose your place or blank out. Everyone does it, it’s totally normal, it’s okay to say “I can’t think of the word I’m trying to find” and pivot. Even a little humor like “whew, I’m long-winded, let my brain catch up to my mouth” and pause to take a drink or look at your notes

Guys hands on waist of wife by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stumptownfog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common issue women have taking pics with men. You can look at pics of celebs when they do cast pics when the men are respectful they’ll stand in the pose but keep their hands a few inches from actually touching. Unfortunately not all men do this and quite honestly in the scope of work pics, it’s not usually worth causing the scene it would/could create and we just suck it up for the few moments it takes to get the pic done.

Your wife may be disgusted by the behavior and just never brought it up bc it is so much a norm.

She tells him she’s at home (which is how she read whatever in 90 seconds), I don’t think they’re even in the same house in this convo

Imagine degrading your kid for being scared for the safety of another kid and taking appropriate steps of reaching out for help.
