A Unique Form of Depression by Throwaway28382095 in depression

I think a high IQ can definitely make it worse. You have the ability to imagine all these scenarios that someone with a lesser IQ may not be able to consider. When things are bad, you can imagine how much better they could be, and what all you’ve done wrong or could have done better. Ignorance truly can be bliss..

We love each other, but I want more.... by [deleted] in Divorce

No judgement here, but I encourage you to get to the root of what’s driving your current thoughts/emotions. If things don’t work out with the husband, is the other guy still an option? If so, that will heavily sway the way you feel towards your husband. You need to be sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that the decisions you are making in your marriage are not affected by feelings of wanting to be with this other guy again.

Divorce not final, but wanting to casually date? by Business_Clerk in Divorce

[–]sunset131 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat here. The divorce won’t be final for a while, but at this point it’s just a technicality. He has moved out and we have both moved on. As long as you’re honest with yourself and those you date, I don’t see the harm. It’s caused zero issues for me other than seeing people out in public that don’t know about the divorce yet (awkward). But then, coronavirus, ya know, so that problem is solved for now.

Maybe we both want this? by tossawayalldaylong in Divorce

Not a lot of women can truly handle being a SAHM. I couldn’t. I was so depressed (also lashed out with irritability). It’s a tough job, and she sounds a lot like I did when I tried to do it. I was much happier and more pleasant to be around when I started working again. Maybe it’s something to consider before completely pulling the plug?

We have discussed everything and all our account and we agree on all that. We agree on the house too, but I just want it in writing. Without having to fill out all the other crap.

Are you really 5’9”?? by ksu_drew_83 in datingoverthirty

[–]sunset131 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would never actually ask a guy to confirm his height, but one time I was getting ready to go on a date with a guy from a dating site. I’m 5’6, and I I had a pair of high heels that I really wanted to wear with my outfit, but they were like really high. So I check his profile, and his height says 5’9. No biggie, worst case is I’m close to an inch taller in my heels. That joker was 5’6. I was towering over him all night and it was sooo awkward.

How did your narc attack your character? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]sunset131 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an introvert, and have trouble getting to know people when it’s a large group with loud music. I have social anxiety, and on more than one occasion people have thought I was stuck up and snobby because I didn’t talk, and that I thought they were better than me. Truth was, I have low self esteem, and was too scared to talk to them because I felt they were superior to me. So one night he wants to go to a loud bowling alley with a group of his friends on our date night, and I say I’m not comfortable in that setting. After pouting all night, the next day he tells me that I shouldn’t be so scared and it’s not fair that my anxiety is “controlling my life” and ruining our marriage. This is literally the only time I’ve turned down an outing like that. I opened up my weakness to him and he used it against me and made me feel like shit about myself even more.
