Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Damn 4 days before the 10th anniversary. I am sorry for you. Did you or your ex plan anything for that supposedly special day? It seems like your ex did it a first time and again. How much time did pass between those gut wrenching incidents? I hope you can find the strength to navigate the next steps.
We were going to take a vacation in Mexico, a little after the actual anniversary. I was hoping it was going to be a nice bonding experience, but oh well, not to be.
This is useful context if you want more detail - was intentionally vague on timelines in this post but it was within the first 5 years of marriage: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18349778
Reiterates the importance that the guilty party actually needs to reform for anything in that post to mean fuck all.
I appreciate your well-wishes.
