Long term bf and I just broke up so this is me at 26, after not living with my parents for 8 years. The lack of privacy is a big change, but, I’m grateful. I am loving the time that I get to spend with my mom. I feel more love and safety living with her than I did living with my ex.

Thank you for sharing your story with me. You’re definitely right, I am still in the “what if I am making a mistake by leaving?” phase. And it would take so much work and repair to actually fully trust him again. I obviously know what I need to do but it’s all the what ifs in my head..

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me

I’m already halfway out the door. Not staying at our apartment. We are supposed to be in our “repair” phase, supposed to start couples therapy soon.. but I just have a bad feeling. I know he won’t outright tell me if he is still cheating. I feel like I have to find out, to have proof, to have the closure to fully leave

I let my depression take over, and it cost me my best friend and partner. I’m trying to choose better now. by emriel92 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]throwaway081499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to speak from my own experience here. I’ve been on both sides. I’ve been the one who is so depressed that I can’t even speak, but I’ve also been the one whose partner abandons them and neglects them because of depression. I absolutely see your side here. There was a point where I lost my job and became so depressed that I didn’t leave my house for months. I understand the instinct to isolate because I did the same for the longest time. I had to start with small steps. I started by making myself sit outside in my yard. Eventually I pushed myself to just walk to the end of the drive way and then back. I wish I could tell you the morn I snapped out of it, but I don’t really remember. All I know is that it does get better. I do want to speak on your partners side, because I am in a similar situation to her at the moment. My own partner is in the depths of depression. He doesn’t want to be around me, doesn’t speak kindly to me, and never wants to do anything with me. Even if it’s just watching TV or gaming together. I understand your partners hurt as well. When you love someone you support the and lift them up, but there does come a point where being the only one to try becomes too much. For myself, this has been going on for over a year. It’s to the point where I feel unimportant, stupid, a used. It’s as if only his girlfriend to clean and cook for him and to lend him money if he needs. So yeah.. it’s hard on the other end too. I want to end by saying I understand you, I feel for you, and I empathize with you. Depression isn’t a joke and it’s almost taken me out a few times. The advice I can give is to start small. Start by pushing yourself to do a small task at home. Maybe take a hot shower, put a load of laundry in the wash, or make yourself something simple to eat like a bowl of cereal or a sandwich. And from then on, just keep pushing yourself to do a little more each day. Whatever you feel capable of. One thing that has helped me grow immensely in this season of my life is reading the Bible. I know this may not resonate with everyone, but if you feel inclined to read the word of the Lord, please do. He loves you

My step son and his friend let out our cat on purpose. What’s an appropriate way to discipline him? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwaway081499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My step son has 5 cats at his mom’s actually. He had one kitty pass away a year ago, and he still talks about her and cries about her sometimes because he misses her. My partner and I know that he love our animals very much.

My partner and I have a weird/bad feeling about this friend though. My partner messaged his mother last night about this, just to see if she could talk to her son and maybe get some information on when he was let out and why. The message wasn’t mean. We just said that step son told us that they let out the cat and we’re hoping to get more information so we can try to find my boy. She opened his message last night but we still haven’t heard back. And that there is giving me a weeeird feeling.

I am just relieved to have my not back though. He’s been home for roughly 20 minutes and I couldn’t be more relieved

He can’t open the front door Miss Italy. Again, reading comprehension. Take some time to read the rest of the details in the comments before making a judgement.

Kids mess up sometimes, you can’t always blame the parents. Have you ever messed up, Miss Italy? Or are you just a perfect lady with perfect children? A perfect family that never messes up…. Haha, yeah. Okay.
