Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Part of my "new" self is to pay attention and acknowledge those little things for my friends and supporters now. These people are much more important to me than my stbx.
When stbx had to be dropped at the airport, I generally came back, emptied his truck and DETAILED IT, myself.
I kept watch on his water glass, when he was home...yup, half full, change it out.
Underware to be folded a certain way-no problem.
The man never mowed a lawn, took out the garbage...he did NOTHING around the house, even when I worked.
He decided that he wanted our old house painted, by Hand, no sprayer...I Painted the Damned Thing!!!
Do I call myself names??? Hmmmm, not really...he did enough of that. He likes to stay at the beginning of the alphabet.
Will I be this way again? Yeah, it's just Me. Ask my Dogs. Or my Kids.
It sounds like You were just being YOU, and She didn't accept the Gift.
I am Sorry for All of the Givers on this Forum. I hope that All of You have it in you to Keep Giving and not hold back. Don't let THEM win.
You can continue to question whether you were responsible for the breakup, or you can continue to be you. There IS somebody out there that wants YOU.
We really did so much for our stbx. We did it because it is in our nature to do so. We did it because we really loved them. We did it because we would have done anything for them.
men out there like my grandfather was.
I've been there myself & know where you're coming from.
Clean the garage
folded shirts so he could see which one he was getting out of the drawer
all the house work
his favorte things packed in his lunch
Dumping his spitters
always making sure he had a soda next to him
making sure a towel was on the counter-all the time so he could forget to get a towel before he got in the shower
packed his bag for fishing trips
ironed his tournament clothes
ran business errands after I got off work.
Served him all three sunday meals on the couch during football season.
cleaned his truck
made sure there was always fresh ranch dip and the"right" kind of chips.
did all the yard work
should I go on... I fell like I made a complete ass out of myself.I don't think the little things matter- I still got kicked to the curb.
And no Rob, that doesn't sound pussy whipped! It sounds like what a normal person would do for the person they loved! You're a great guy! Too bad for her!
