"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I cannot second this enough. A mentally unbalanced woman is enough to destroy your life. She’s doing her absolutely very best to try and destroy mine.
Ok I agree 100%. The question then lands squarely on you. You proposed to your soon to be ex wife, right? Well. Mistakes were made. And listen, I could have done better picking a spouse the first time around too….(Ya know stones and people in glass houses….)

Part of life experience is accepting responsibility for our role in our circumstances in our personal lives. I knew my first husband 3 years but married him after dating 6 months. That’s on me. Had I waited I would never have married him. I ended up with 3 great kids and he’s an amicable ex spouse so it ended up ok, no War of the Roses divorce, he did not seek to tear me down financially, so I did pick a genuinely kind person who could see the bigger picture.

So own the mistake & learn from it going forward. One nasty person does not mean all women are nasty.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

If I remember correctly your story, your husband drastically changed quite soon after you married him after he lost/got cheated by his partner out of his nightclub business and with it the desire to thrive. What I don't get is why did you go on to have 3 kids with him?

I never said I didn’t own the mistake. I just wanted to let whomever know that once you’re in, you’re in. Trying to get out, especially these days, is a logistical nightmare.

I'm not going to marry her lol. That's a given.

It's just when I look at her it enters my mind. It's kinda strange as that though has never crossed my mind with any other women ever.

It's kinda cute. So thought I'd make a thread.

As far had the hormonal imbalances. Which is 100% caused by the implant, as per doctors advise she's getting it removed monday. They have prescribed pain killers until than to deal with the effects on the body the implant is having.

She's trying a non hormonal coil, although doctor says it will be a little while before it balances out.

Hopefully it will help her. That said she's been like an angel as of late, back to normal. Massive stress in her life + the hormonal imbalance really took its toll for a couple of weeks.

The imbalance is still there, it's mostly effecting her body (in quite a bad way).

Really hoping we can find balance with it and find contraception without such a heavy price on her.

I'd happily use condoms. She wasn't to explore all other options first.
