This is painful...and the first year with seeing her new patterns can feel like the unending fuckening. Remember that this is ornamental and not functional...kinda like a Kentucky Derby hat.

I... politely tell them that I don't need their diagnosis, I just need them to tell me the behavior and the events.

... I tell them that some people are, in fact, merely married to common assholes.

If he wants to hoard his secret life like it's a box of treasure instead of a shit filled cesspool, I can't change that, but I can change what I do while he continues to lie.

Innocent notions like "100% trust" and "true love" are replaced by the fact that you can never really know anyone's heart but your own - and even that's not assured.

So very true, IMO.

I too am totally fucking aware that life is short and death awaits us all, and yet somehow I’ve managed not to carpet bomb the most meaningful relationship in my life by sucking my colleague’s dick.

From Catwoman in OT:

Happiness is indeed what you make it. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and don't forget to throw a little vodka in it.

I'm going to remember this every time I find myself drinking margaritas with my girlfriends.

My bday is coming up and Mexican food, margaritas and chocolate cake are a thing.

Aren't margaritas just limeade with tequila?

Part of recovery, if not MOST of recovery, is about rebuilding our own self-reliance. It's not enough that the WS learns to self-validate. We have to learn it too. The goal has to be two healthy people choosing to be together, rather than two needy people choosing not to be apart, right?

It's kind of like a roller coaster ride. It is designed to look dangerous and give you lots of thrills, but you're really not going to get hurt.

Lastly, to be perfectly blunt, your WW saying the electronic transparency was reminding her of being raped as a teen is in the top 10 biggest crocks of horseshit I’ve read on this site… and competition is tight.

Healthy relationships DO involve the word No. They do not involve the word "nurture" unless you are talking about raising a child.

Very apt quote by OwningItNow in the Made a deal...sort of thread in Reconciliation.
