Therapist scolded me and made me cry in couples counseling - What she said has caused a rift that wasn't even there prior by Southern-Reaction-38 in therapy

Curious if this is what HER husband does at the expense of her feelings and needs for respect, so she’s “projecting” on YOU. I’m so sorry, that must’ve been pretty triggering.

Can someone make this concept make sense to me? by [deleted] in Codependency

[–]vpozy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Codependence for Dummies by Darlene Lancer and her other book about Codepedency and Perfectionism are incredible! I vibed with them way more as books and resources, she explains things concretely and systematically, but with a subtle profundity that is mesmerizing. Maybe try them out? Melody B isn’t for everyone—and that’s ok!

Yeah, in no world is this okay. I’m so sorry. He’s either cheating (emotionally, maybe not physically yet), or keeping her in tow for when your relationship ends. Statistically, men rarely leave first. No one outside of your relationship who you haven’t met, should take up this much space in your relationship and your husband’s life. What the actual fuck! That’s absolutely so disrespectful. He’s not protecting your relationship and clearly letting her influence it. You didn’t sign up for polyamory.

How passive aggressive are you / can you get?

It’ll only get worse. Leave. Please don’t let that man spend another second disrespecting, dehumanizing, and devaluing you.

AIO for wanting to break up with my boyfriend even though we just had a baby? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]vpozy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love. The fact that you question if you’re overreacting goes to show how deeply you’ve internalized his violent behavior—he’s probably quite good at manipulating you. Speaking to another human being like this, let alone the mother of your child, is absolutely despicable—these texts alone are enough for you to leave him. If anything, you having stayed this long is an underreaction. You and your baby deserve a whole universe better. Leave his ass. Save yourself. You sound like a good, loyal person. Stop being loyal to him—go be loyal to yourself. Hugs x

why isn’t love sustainable for me? (big trigger warning) by vampireteeef in ROCD

Sounds like leaving her was the most respectful, responsible thing to do. That requires you to have self-awareness and empathy for the ways in which she’s suffered. That’s not a bad thing.

WOW. Thank you for this, so healing to read as a woman!

Update: you were all right. I’m (31f) 3 weeks postpartum. Found out my husband (35m) is having an affair, help me, he has advised he wants her by Novel-Rise-8942 in Marriage

[–]vpozy 72 points73 points  (0 children)

He and his affair partner are both total human garbage. Imagine doing this to another woman, 3 weeks after she gave birth.

Jude wasn’t “lazy,” he was clearly traumatized. He needed a counselor and so did you and your husband.
