As far as the original OP goes, you need to get out of this unhealthy relationship. He is never going to change..plain and simple. You deserve better and you know it.View Thread


I did have a great Xmas and New Year's and hoping that 2013 brings lots of good things my way! How was yours?View Thread


As far as the engagement thing, that didn't sound stupid. I think some are just caught up in the idea of being engaged or getting married, that sometimes we tend to look past, and also forget, about the problems and issues in the relationship. After the excitement has died down, you realize that there are issues that need to be addressed, and getting engaged/married are not going to solve them.
If you don't mind me asking, how is your sex life? Is there still a physical attraction there?
I guess you need to ask yourself if this is what you want and if it is worth it to you to work on this marriage/relationship, and is he also willing to do the same, and actually stick to his promises by working on it continuously and not giving up after a while.View Thread


I sincerely wish you the best, and please know that you can always come here to talk, vent, or whatever it may be, but just know that you have a place here anytime, and people that genuinely do care.
I do hope that you keep us posted, well, at least I am interested in hearing how things go along for you..

You're right, it wasn't a choice you have made in life, so I guess admire was the wrong choice of words...View Thread

I think it would be helpful for you to figure out a way to stop overthinking things so much..when you start to question things, or start to read to deep into something, stop yourself and start to think about something else, or get up and do something and keep busy. I started this about a month ago, and it has done wonders for me. I would drive myself crazy by overthinking, and reading way too much into the silliest of things and making it a bigger issue than of course it was...I was stressing myself out and causing anxiety. I would misinterpret an email, a text, or what someone was saying to me, etc., and I would repeat it over and over in my head wondering what they meant by it. Or I would sit and think about things and wonder what I could have done differently..the what ifs, etc..I was driving myself mad...I needed to stop, and I did. I have regained lost self esteem and confidence, and I am able to think much more clearly. I used to think I was socially awkward, and that has faded as well.
Opening up more to a therapist or a good friend, someone you have confidence in and can trust, would be good for you...and there is no reason for you to feel embarrassed.View Thread
