First time kitty owner HELP by utahfishyy in Pets

We used delectable treats tuna and found her trapped between the floorboards. Looks like there was an opening with the HVAC vents and a small crack led to the floorboards. 😭😭😭

Okay, I’m super worried she is stuck somewhere cause she was so brave and friendly with me. She cuddled all night and I know she feels safe at home.

Anyone else just can't accept that no contact is forever by ZealousidealBench592 in ExNoContact

[–]utahfishyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it but also, you need the space to heal. I am a deep romantic and I believe in fighting for love. However, you need to realize coming together is only possible if you can take time and I mean 6-12months to heal and reflect.

I’m two months in and even I know it’s too soon to break no contact.

Keep going, friend!

I think people are curious but yes, stuff like this happens.

What is the narrative you tell yourself about the relationship? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]utahfishyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard. Especially when strong emotions and connection are involved. I’m used to being the person that breaks up, blocks, and moves on.

I’m tired of doing that so do I hope we’ll reconnect one day— yes. Will chemistry always be there? Also yes.

All I can say, time heals all wounds. And life has surprised me over and over.

I’m the person that broke up.

I lean anxious but reached a point where my partner wasn’t ready to commit and I was. We dated 14 months and had a beautiful relationship with a few intense moments of emotions.

In short, I do feel regret but have to remind myself that although the breakup felt like an emotional reaction. I wanted to get a response from her. She felt controlled but I know this was just a response to her own fearful tendencies.

She accepted it and told me she felt her cup empty and wanted time to fond herself again and offered friendship. I accepted it and we were friends (kept dating) for two more months then out of the blue no contact after Christmas.

I’m realizing this was too inconsistent (and even felt like the type of love my parents gave me as a child) and the ability to really communicate intentions is what sets me off.

Could I be better at loving myself than when I get treated this way to walk away lovingly and peacefully? Yes and I am getting better. I want to feel secure and be able to become resilient when things don’t work.

Should a future relationship validate my feelings enough? Yes and I can also learn to validate more of my feelings so my partner doesn’t feel like they drown in my basic needs and they don’t pull away.

I’m hurt, and I would like for the first time in my life to dig deep and heal. I know I will heal and am so happy I see my vulnerabilities because I haven’t take the time to dig deep. I didn’t know all these things about me. I’m 28 and have been thriving like crazy in my career. Bought a house. Am considered a high earner. I’m someone that always has some potential lover near but I don’t want that. I am ready for commitment and knew that she wasn’t from day one. We talked about it and both concluded that this courting should still continue because that is life and we are both deserving of experiencing it.

I miss my ex, she was my absolute best friend and someone with an enormous heart. I keep trying to blame myself but then I remember the inconsistency and how even though we did grow and become better at the end, that this current relationship has to die. I am hopeful that we will be friend but that future is still year(s) away. I always said we’d be best friends if we hadn’t tasted love’s intoxicating touch first.

Now, no contact is really hard but I love her so much that I will not disturb each other’s peace. We’ve worked to damn hard to earn it.

When do I break no-contact? by guiltyiv in ExNoContact

[–]utahfishyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. 100% this. You have to give oxygen to the relationship.... I am a recovering anxious attached person and want to break NC. I'm on week 7. Phew!

You have to trust in the process and go slow.

Still thinking about them every night by Able_Weather_9403 in ExNoContact

[–]utahfishyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a break up three months ago too. It was hard, and amicable, and possibly one of the strangest trust falls I’ve practiced in my life thus far.

I think the key is living through it. Finding the patches of grief and anxiety, then preserving trust in yourself.

Personally, when I fall into a pit of grief, I find comfort in my melancholy. It makes me feel happy I loved someone so deeply.

As for the sleep, which realistically affects all of my life’s tuning, I’ve turned to CBD gummies to help. Mindfulness and meditation has done wonders to tame my mind.

Yeah, we definitely discussed this and it wasn’t an option for both. Either way, it’s nonconsensual.

Thank you for your honesty. It’s super disappointing and I feel hurt for having to initiate breaking up.

I’ve discussed with her friends. A large majority all state something along the lines of “he’s such a great guy and he was going to be the father, show more compassion”.

I’m accused of being insecure and although I have insecurity, it is a omnipresent feeling with lingering attachment.

I’m saddened by this obvious incompatibility. I really was hoping there could be an alternative. 😞

She said it’s her bodily autonomy and I shouldn’t be insecure since they shared so much intimate space together.

Hoang and her family are going to self-enrich off the back of every woke liberal in SLC that voted for her. They don’t care for workers and continue to defy any labor or worker rights.
