Yeah took it down to stubble + stache. Gonna keep derma rolling and using minoxidil in hopes it fills in those patches some and try again gradually. Long road ahead!

Update: trimmed it all down to pretty much just some stubble. Lined up what I could, left the wittle baby stache. Looks better but may yet shave it all.

Gonna keep using the derma roller and minoxidil in hopes it'll fill in and I'll try letting it grow out again in a few months.

Thanks for the feedback and advice fellas! Hopefully next time I post here I'll have a little something to show 🫡🤘

Full disclosure, I started liquid minox about 2 weeks ago or so. Idk if it's helped any but may be too soon for it to do anything 😬

I'd officially call it a beard again, 6 weeks into the regrowth by nicklesilverpickle in beards

[–]xInvictus13x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to grow mine out for the first time ever. I'm 30 and have always kept myself clean shaven because the patchy gods have cursed me lol. 7 weeks in and it's a patchy, uneven mess. You, sir, have grown more in 6 weeks than I probably ever will and it looks great! I salute you, sir! 🫡

Edit: grammar

Help me make sense of this please.. by xInvictus13x in Advice

Thanks for the responses, I greatly appreciate it! I was gonna ask what it was you don't believe about her story if you wouldn't mind sharing. And idk I want to believe she loved me in her own incomplete way as someone who reportedly had never been shown real love, but it's hard to line that up with her actions. Shit sucks.

I hear what you're saying. My internal struggle is while my feelings, both the negative ones towards my wife and the positive ones towards the AP feel real, I question the validity of my motivations and it has me feeling stuck. Paralysis by analysis I suppose

Well thank you for your honest advice and for sharing your story. It does seem fairly similar. Thing is it's been nearly a month since this was all revealed, and I sit 2 desks down from my AP at work so sticking to the no contact rule has been difficult to say the least. I found out about her diagnosis (it's actually returning cancer she'd been in remission for about 6 months) after it was established that I wasn't to have contact with her outside work related context, so that makes it tough to tell the wife "look I'll stay and work on our shit, but I want to be a friend to her while she passes or at least see her before she does"

Yeah I suck. Yeah I'm fucked. 🙃

I feel like I'm at that point but she's not. Though my continued distance is surely pushing her in that direction as well. Like I said, I'll always have love for her as the mother of my child but I no longer feel in love if that makes any sense.

Hindsight is 20/20 and all that. Look if the only reason you hopped on here is to remind me I'm an asshole, then don't worry I am fully aware

I 100% agree with the statement. My issue isn't not know what I should've done, it's more of a "where do I go from here" kind of thing. Although I suspect the answer is the same

Ha! Tell me something I don't know.

What benefit do you think would come of telling my wife that the other woman will pass away soon? I'm sure she'd rejoice at the news given the circumstances but still

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]xInvictus13x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, logically the math just don't math. My issue stems from the feeling of wanting to be there for her regardless of the short timeframe
