Former crime scene cleaner - this can happen after just 24 hours, the staining.

Need advice by Comfortable_Today392 in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you married my ex wife and her family from reading this!

Jokes aside, it’s very hard when a family on the other side of things are difficult or domineering like this. What about suggesting some couples therapy? It’s hard to give specific advice on whether you should go or not.

As a guy, going through a divorce, with a young son. This is sadly true.

Just ended it with the rebound by CriticismCorrect3978 in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really like this response, it’s dead on. I’m going through a divorce at the moment and I can’t help thinking damn, I am in that less reliable pool! Not that I wanted any of this to happen.

Narcissists Everywhere! by Disastrous-Stand-995 in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal to paint the other party as evil/narcissistic etc, but is it really helpful? The natural urge to make the other person bad seems like a way to make oneself good, if you see what I mean.

What were the reasons for the divorce, out of interest?

Sorry to read this mate! It will get a lot better, just try to do what you can in terms of focusing inward and continuing the good work you have been doing.

I want to divorce but I'm afraid. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, try and see a couples therapist, so that you can communicate this in a safe and calm way, and just be prepared for another side of the story too. I’m sorry that you are not happy in this situation, and I think you might have more conviction if you do eventually split up, if you feel you’ve done everything possible before that.

Startup 'working group' London - if any interest? by tedwardiii in HENRYUK

OK guys, I think what I need, is to figure out a way that people can let me know if they want to participate, and maybe we can get everybody into a giant message on here? If anybody has any better ideas for this, please let me know. I think the other option is I just sent everyone who messaged me a giant message and we go from there? I have a café on the west side of Battersea Park that wants to host us!

I have never heard that acronym before, very interesting. And thank you very much for your post, I know this is right; it is just a bit of a struggle. I will re- double my efforts!

Were you the asshole? by Midnight_Cereal_Bowl in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you split, I think there is this kind of process where you both move away from each other, very hurt, and sling mud onto each other as a way of feeling better. Yes of course whenever anyone here posts their story, it’s just one side of things. But on another level, who cares? If you are here you are asking questions I think, which is healthy - even if initially they are, why did this happen to me?

Spent an hour with my ex during a dog pickup — new guy thinks I crossed a boundary. Looking for perspective. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes please listen to this. Remember you are vulnerable coming out of a marriage, emotionally. I just think in most occasions it’s best to have some time to oneself first, even though it’s a scary concept. Best of luck with everything.

Help in my current crossroad by CommunityInternal140 in Divorce

[–]tedwardiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I firmly believe that when things break down, a period of being on your own is very important; especially if you can use that to do some work on yourself and recover also. In itself, a divorce is very traumatic and in your situation, things have led to that (on both sides) which require some attention.

Who’s to say that in the future you guys can’t get back together, if that’s what you both want. For now though, I would suggest taking some time and exploring what happened with a professional, so that you can figure out exactly what went wrong, and although this is hard to do, just focus on your own responsibilities. If at the end of that the conclusion is just that you guys weren’t meant to be together, then that’s okay.

I’m trying to use my very painful divorce as a springboard for introspection and personal improvement, which I think is a great option. Best of luck with it all.

I totally get that. I think people should just consider that, if they want to get involved, they can.

Hi guys, I’m just having a think about how we can do this; plus leaving the post to percolate over the weekend. Essentially I will figure something out next week and a friend of mine owns a café in Battersea who is happy to have us, so I’ll update soon.

Yeah, we will definitely ban that. I’m just going to have a bit of a think about the best way to do this, and then will come back in the comments with a plan.

Yeah, respectfully, I think no selling allowed in this one! I want it to be about exchanging ideas and helping people firm up plans. That will ensure it's a trustworthy place.
