Coming up on my 90 day’s and I think the girl I’ve been with for over 5 yrs is playin me! Gotta shady message from some dude asking what’s up with me and her🤨
Don’t know what to do …
Damn, brother, that sounds horrible. Gotta confront her about it. This guy hit you up directly? Or he texted her and you saw it?
Dont let someone else actions sway your sobriety. You are doing well. Keep focusing on your sobriety.
That sucks but breaking your sobriety will not change what happens next
Hey @Peterpan143, what you’ll do is confront your gf and get to the bottom of this. What you won’t do is throw away your sobriety over some shit like this. Drinking will not make this go away or make any of it better. It won’t take the pain and fear away, it won’t help you through, it’ll only delay your emotional reaction and keep you stuck in a hole.
Maybe the situation is not what you think. If it is, that’s horrible. I’ve dealt with massive betrayal after 14 years together since I’ve got sober and it was really horrible. But it would have been worse had I lost myself again. I can promise you that.
Stay strong and check in here a lot!
Use this as a test to get stronger.
Don’t let it be an excuse to drink. There are no excuses that are good enough. You have the power to stay sober and come out the other side of this stronger.
As for how to approach this. My first advice is to stay calm, be cool and collected with all parties involved.
Talk to her, perhaps reply to his text and ask him “why” he is looking for that information??
That is what he sent and I said to him…
You can clearly tell there’s some fuckery at play!!!
And this is what I sent her :
I told you I’m NOT PLAYING FUCKIN GAME’S NO MORE!!! NOW EITHER YOUR LEADING SOMETHING ELSE ON, OR SOMEONE ELSE THAT YOU KNOW IS HATTIN… IT STILL COMES FROM YOUR SIDE OF THE STREET!!! AND IM FUCKIN DONE WITH BEING HURT BY ANYONE…
OF COURSE I CAN’T GET THE FUCKIN TRUTH FROM YOU OR ANYONE, SO IVE GOTTA JUST GIVE THIS BULL SHIT TO GOD AS I LAY MY HEAD DOWN SO I DON’T CARRY IT WITH ME TOMORROW!!!
I FEEL LIKE IM DATING MELISSA ALLLLLL OVER AGAIN!!!
SAME SHIT, BUT IM DEF A DIFFERENT MAN NOW!
IF I EVER GET A FUCKIN MESSAGE AGAIN LIKE THIS, IM DONE
IM GOING TO SLEEP, GOODNIGHT!
hm. so much for staying cool I guess.
do you really want to move on like this? you still don’t know at all what has happened nor do i feel you really tried to give your gf the chance to come clean and tell the story. comparing her to your ex is not a wise move. neither is vaguely threatening to end it after the next incident. do you really want to leave it at that? is this a good basis to go on in your life living in accordance with your values and your needs? you got 90 days. my advice would be to talk to your sponsor about your own side of the street.
I understand very well you’re hurting now. take some space, revisit this tomorrow.
defo good work on not picking up though!
Exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you!
Goodmoanin beautiful
Ok…
I may be over reacting and shouldn’t have said those things…
I’m retarded, foolish, and insecure…
Please forgive me🥺
I took your advice…
That is what I sent her this morning …
Let’s hope for the best🙏
Hey Matthew, how are you feeling today? Did you get some support from your sponsor or fellows? Hope you can find some peace. Wishing you strength.
