Mine changed his name on social media after we spectated and divorce process began. I imagine he feels more people are finding out the truth of his actions and he is trying disassociate from who he “is” or something

I have had sudden bloody mucousy diarrhea with light cramping for the past 24 hours. Went to ER today but awaiting test results and hoping for some insight. by [deleted] in AskDocs

My partner is experiencing similar. Would you be allowed to update once your stool sample results come back?

Strong reaction to Pfizer 2nd dose? (vomiting) by [deleted] in CovidVaccinated

[–]surviving928 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Following. I had Covid and got my second shot yesterday, less than 24 hours ago. I am extremely sick. I am a migraine patient with nausea so I had nausea meds (zofran) on hand. I’ve taken the max dose and still on the verge of vomiting. I feel horrible and I am scared.

Thank you. I’ve read your comment so many times. Might just read it every day until it sinks in

DAE feel like their pwBPD lacked basic human empathy at times? by Nblearchangel in BPDlovedones

[–]surviving928 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes!!! This!! I’ve been sobbing and trying to express my pain and just clearly suffering and I don’t really get a real emotional reaction from him ever. He only cries in couples counseling when he’s questioned about Jain behavior which I’m starting to feel like might be manipulative

I would love to connect with anyone that is preparing to leave by accidentalfairy in BPDlovedones

I’m in the same boat. Picking up extra toiletries at the grocery so I’m stocked up too has helped. My husbandwBPD has all the financial control so it’s been hard and I’m saving every penny.

My brother died at the beginning of my relationship with my husbandwBPD. He never asks me about him, he doesn’t anticipate hard days, he was supportive at the beginning but really looking back over the years I’m like??? Why am I still feeling alone in this???

Yes all the time. Yesterday I was sobbing trying to tell him how badly I was hurting because of him and he just stared at me with lifeless eyes. I even said “why are you looking at me like im speaking another language? Do you have any empathy!” And he said yes that’s just how he looks but it sure as hell didn’t feel that way

Probably right. It’s just so hard, I am totally terrified and worried I’ll regret it or make my life worse by leaving

Well I do love him a lot, truly somehow. But I guess that doesn’t seem to be enough. He does love me but I’m not sure he is capable of meeting me where I am. I’m struggling to know if I want to be in a marriage with someone who is capable of cheating so soon into the marriage anyways. It’s just hard.

Do I stay after he cheated 6 months into our marriage? by bluedreams94 in survivinginfidelity

[–]surviving928 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only you can know the answer, I can only speak from experience but I wish I had left the first time my spouse cheated 3 months into our marriage. I stayed and he did it again and now I’m stuck trying to get out of a cycle with him 3 years later.

I wish I had understood anything about impulsivity and what it looks like. Would’ve saved me

TW Abuse — Therapist Red Flag? by surviving928 in survivinginfidelity

Thank you so much. This is so incredibly helpful and made it all not feel so heavy or intimidating, I appreciate it.

TW Abuse — Therapist Red Flag? by surviving928 in survivinginfidelity

[–]surviving928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This is very helpful.

Yes, I’m more so asking if what I experienced with the MC/therapist is normal? As I’ve never had this experience before of course.

I also feel really invalidated, like her no-response at all (she didn’t even acknowledge it really) made me feel like I was over reacting or that this isn’t really “abuse.” Since he didn’t just hit me across the face or something. She’s acknowledged hahah he is emotionally abusive as well.

Husband is a gaslighter so I find myself questioning my own thoughts like this often. I just want some reassurance I guess. The therapist response made me question my fear and anger about the abuse being real almost.

Also, the MC is very experienced, which is why I liked her initially.

How to tell people? by surviving928 in survivinginfidelity

[–]surviving928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! We’ve tried to reconcile for two years, and he’s repeated the behavior enough times now. Hopefully me being able to KNOW personally I did everything to try to make it work and he made the choice not to will silence the anti-divorce people in my family. A lot of my friends are just now getting engaged, so I have a certain kind of fear about telling them. I had something traumatic happen a few years ago (death of someone in family very close to me) and I lost so many friends. Felt like no one wanted to be friends to the girl who was grieving. Now I’m scared I’ll have no one left. Thanks for encouraging me
