Birds of a feather flock together.

Actually when you take a vow in a marriage AND have children you literally don't have the right to just leave with no explanation. Of course your ok with his actions your not the woman he left after having surgery. Your not the one sleeping Alone in the bed wondering wtf you did to deserve that.

You're right...

I'm "not the one sleeping alone etc..."

Nor do I have children...

In fact, I'm not even married...

However, I'm also not privy to the complete details of the OP's relationship...

I'm not knowing of all the ins and outs of the situation...

What I AM is capable of putting forward my opinion without resorting to judgmental name-calling and derogatory remarks...

What I AM is a person who is smart enough to know that there are ALWAYS two sides to a story...

I'm also smart enough to know that, upon reading one or two of the more recent posts, there's very little I can say that will be properly read or understood without resorting to the aforementioned childish antics...

Chalk another win up for ignorance...

*hugs*. I'm really sorry to hear about your marriage, and the way it happened. Must have been the shock of a lifetime and to be blindsided. Sometimes the best of someone brings out the worst insecurity in others. It's sad.

It will take time but at some point you will be surrounded with heathy, secure people who encourage you and who are genuinely HAPPY for your success.

Sending thoughts and prayers to you.

Ummm you missed the whole he walked out on her and their children right after she had SURGERY. Now unless she's lying this fact alone makes him a COWARD, mmmk? And since you never been married or have children your comment would be considered "ignorance" since you have no clue what a marriage entails.

While to some people marriage may just be another "contract" or "business deal" to me, and I thought to him, marriage was a covenant that we entered into when we stood before God, our family, and friends and vowed our lives to one another. This was not something I took lightly. As I said in the original post I just needed a moment to vent. When you have 3 children with someone and a 20 year history together it is devastating to say the least for them to literally be telling you on Thursday how much they love you and how beautiful you are then on Friday they walk out without any warning.

Thank you for the words of encouragement for those that gave them.

I missed no point...

I read the original post several times..

I looked at all of the information at hand (including timing information)...

I even edited my post when I saw I'd made a mistake...

I was simply able to remove emotion from my view the situation.

That's all..

But your reference to my ignorance regarding marriage and children made me smile...

Mostly because it proved my earlier assertion (re some folks' lack of situational awareness before posting) to be somewhat accurate...

Keep fighting the fight @@sunsetsue

Whatever that fight may be...

@@reree6898 I'm truly sorry you're going through this. As a woman, as a mother, a wife, I feel your pain. Although one shouldn't need to be in a relationship to feel sympathy for what you're experiencing. It's really sad however the best revenge is happiness. As women we are built to deal with pain but that's what makes us strong. From looking at your picture I can see you lost weight. Having challenges with weight issues and kicking butt shows that your a fighter.

Not sure why you have to imply that "he'll get his" and that she has to be "revenged." If he doesn't want to be married to her, why would she want to be married to him (unless she's some kind of doormat)?

It didn't work. Get divorced and then move on with your life. If you have view everything from the perspective of "getting your revenge," then you're just a broken, childish person.

Marriage is just a contract; contracts get broken all the time. What do you think divorce is? :rolleyes:

Also, relationships can be ended by either party. You don't need the other person's consent to end it.

Having children complicates it, but in the end if you want to leave, you can leave. (Just expect a huge load of cr4p dealing with the children aspect of it, legally...)

You're just bored and writing these things to get a reaction, right? You can't be that cold and callous!! You should reread the original post. Her husband slunk out like a dog that peed on the rug!! A real man faces his wife and tells her he is leaving! And he doesn't take half of the money they have because he left his children there to be taken care of!! Nobody has to stay in a relationship if they don't want to be there, but they do have to have a backbone and explain their actions. They weren't in the "contract" alone and even when breaking a real contract, of any kind, an explanation is required!

Nope, I'm not trolling. Guys don't have the ridiculous cultural baggage associated with getting married that women buy into. I guarantee you none of us spent hours looking at dresses or wedding magazines, or discussing with our friends what our ideal wedding weight and hairstyle would be, and oh my goodness that tuxedo is just the one for my dream wedding/coronation of the prince with swans and our favorite flowers and dressing all of our friends in hideous outfits so as not to outshine "our special day."

We just don't buy into the cr4p.

Marriage is a legal contract, plain and simple, and like any contract, it can be broken. There may (or may not) be penalties for doing so (get a pre-nuptial agreement if you're not stupid). When you have additional entanglements (like property or children) it gets more of a pain in the @$$ to do so, but you can break the contract at any time. And really, there is no explanation required... "I don't want to be married to you anymore" is all that needs to be said (or implied).

Be an adult and deal with it. Save the whining for your shrink or obsequious girlfriends.

@@Fredbear I am not going to get into the whole thing about revenge, or who is right and who is wrong. None of us know the whole story. But I do have to write a few things in response to your posts. There are a lot of men out there who still believe in honor, integrity, and responsibility. I have no idea what the dynamics were in her marriage, but I do know that two people created not just a "contract", but a family. That family has been torn apart for whatever reason. The man involved still has responsibilities, whether he chooses to acknowledge them or not.

Regardless of what passed between him and his wife, the children are the ones who suffer the most in this. They will spend the rest of their lives wondering if it is something they did, and if they could have done better or made it right if they had just tried harder.

The best thing to do when dealing with a narcissist is to ignore them because there is absolutely no reasoning, no empathy, nothing that even makes logical sense. Trying to explain anything to them is like attempting to teach a fish to run.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?
      · 2 replies
      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

    • Aunty Mamo

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
