I’m sorry to hear! You will be okay!
@brooke1579 Thank you my love!
For context I have ocd and bipolar and I struggle to go under my husbands leadership financially but he is aware of my mental health struggles playing a part in it and we work together. Ultimately it sounds like you love your family and value your marriage getting Botox could be part of perfectionism ocd which could have been a compulsion I pray your husband can understand. That as hard as we want to follow our husbands leadership esp financially compulsions sometimes are strong and take us downstream. Praying for a mending and believing for a miracle tonight
Why did he say that
@makeupandchinchillas There’s been a lot of trouble in the past, but the issue that popped the bubble was that I still choose to get Botox knowing he doesn’t support it. He says he feels disrespected and he can’t lead me because I want to do things I want to do.
@K-M It's your body, your choice. It's the ultimate disrespect for him to think he has final say. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, all the hugs and support ❤ it must be beyond painful. I hope you two are able to make it through
@girlanon In marriage, there is one body. Especially Christian marriages where the male is leading big decisions. Just another perspective I don’t think he was being disrespectful
@makeupandchinchillas Yeah, this is what he says. That I’m not fulfilling my duty as the wife. So you are on point.
Did your ocd make you get Botox maybe you can explain it to him in a way that you struggle with it and apologize
@makeupandchinchillas No it’s not my ocd. I don’t like the lines around my eyes, so I just enjoy doing it. I’ve only done it 3 times
I don’t consider it excessive or weird to get Botox. For example I got a contour stick as a compulsion and as part of impulsivity which is also part of anxiety
It’s normal to like beauty and okay to get Botox! I’m just wondering it sounds like there might be something strong driving you to do the Botox esp since the steaks are so high that was just my gut feeling. Maybe the Holy Spirit leading me?
@makeupandchinchillas Do you mean like you think it’s OCD because I still want to do Botox and I know he is divorcing me?
@K-M Could be, just an impression I got
@makeupandchinchillas I’m not here to judge I’m in your corner. Either way I support you.
@makeupandchinchillas I just don’t like being told what to do. I’m stubborn, not used to it, and probably not meant to be married
@K-M Welcome to submitting to a husband lol I feel u
@makeupandchinchillas Yeah lol. It’s not for me. Thought it was, but I was wrong.
@makeupandchinchillas It’s why he wants to divorce me. Cause I won’t submit.
@K-M Your a Christ follower. Jesus brought you two together. Give yourself some grace
@makeupandchinchillas I agree with you. The Bible says (im paraphrasing) what God has put together, let no man separate. Go to Biblical counseling before calling it quits.

@Anonymous Thank you. I feel ok right now. Thinking a lot about my rent and what’s going to happen.
I love Botox! That was really shitty of him to text something like that. Hopefully you guys can work it out, if that’s what you want.
hi everyone. i'm terrified about my future with my spouse. we've been fighting a lot recently because they cheated on me on our wedding night... making out with someone else. this really really hurt me. they now want a break because they can't handle my severe anxiety about the situation. i know reading this you're probably like wow that's a real asshole right there and i deserve better. but truly i love my spouse and they're a great person. they're just triggered. i'm afraid the marriage triggered them. i'm afraid they're going to leave me. my ocd is telling me the more i really think about it my intuition is telling me that they will leave me and we won't work it out. and now i feel like im manifesting that on purpose. i'm freaking the fuck out and i feel so lonely and sad.
Longer post, but please, I need some guidance. I thought that my thoughts relating to relationship OCD were taking over. But, my bf started treating me differently. I tried to have a conversation and communicate this worry. He then texted me that he had actually been feeling distant for a month and has been meaning to tell me. But “we’re fine now.” I spiraled. Later in the week, he went quiet after a disagreement. After he promised we were okay and he was okay, I found later he was texting a mutual friend (female) that I was crying again. She said that it was fucking insane and other hurtful things about me. He said he lost his trust with me because I looked through his phone and saw that message even though during the whole relationship we had a mutual understanding that we had nothing to hide from each other and he always assured me that I could look through his phone at anytime. It’s ok for boundaries to change in a relationship, but it wasn’t communicated and I was harshly reprimanded. During the texting chain with the mutual friend he also said that “she just has no idea.” When I addressed this, he then said that for the past month, he actually felt he didn’t want to be in a relationship, but still loved me. I’m ruined. I had the same thoughts in January and knew I loved him. I found out it was ROCD (through this app) and told him the day after the realization because it was eating at me. So him saying I wouldn’t understand and telling other seems unjustified. I would’ve been the most understanding. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Finally my partner decided to break up with me, and I feel totally empty. He wants an open relationship, which I can’t handle. Just feel broken inside 💔
