I choose to take this as a complement, rather than you insinuating I’m some sort of terrible nag 🤣
Well done Rockon. You recognised how you were feeling, you took positive steps to do things which you know help regulate your emotions, and now you’re feeling better again.
Rinse and repeat… and eventually those times of feeling a bit down will become much less severe and much more infrequent.
You’re essentially training your brain in resilience, and success breeds success.
Peaceful today. Focused. Detaching. Not indifferent but paying attention to me and wisdom, remembering to be patient with myself and making progress. It’s early in my healing journey.
The other day, I Unexpectedly ran into one of WW’s “friends” another married woman acting like a single teenager/toddler today. She was very animated and friendly towards me - felt very uncomfortable and I didn’t recognize her. She introduced herself. I said hello politely and excused myself. Rattled me a bit and I felt off for a bit. Just felt like being around the new and unimproved unattractive W.

What is she doing that makes you feel she is acting like a toddler/teenager?

She didn't know who you were?

Other than her affair what don't you like about your new wife?
Toddler/teen like - everything is about them, rebelling against constraints
She did know who I was. She said, “you don’t know who I am?” And went on to tell me.I totally did not recognize her - have not spent much time with her.
That friend of W’s is an anti marriage influence on W. I don’t like her. Seeing was a reminder of what W is doing and I was internally disturbed by how friendly that friend was. Made me uncomfortable and left a bad taste.
I suppose the affair is the main thing I don’t like about W.I don’t like that she has left me or our family. I am repelled by that.
