    Just remembering back to the days when you could post fake threads with outrageous titles on your MFP newsfeed to trick your friends (for the lolz).

    Good times... good times...

    Today I get a random call from an unknown long distance caller. Considering I have my house up for sale and I don’t want to miss any important calls, I picked up without screening the call as usual. Well that was a mistake. This has been my ex’s second attempt to “talk some sense into me.” Now I have the dilemma of telling my current partner about this call. I’m *kitten* sweating bullets. I really didn’t need this unneeded drama in this already stressful moment of my life. Although the simple thing to do is not tell him and continue ignoring his calls, experience tells me that simply being honest is the best route. Despite the repercussions.

    That sucks Jenny! Hopefully he'll leave you alone some day!

    Doctor's appointment

    Hope it goes well :)

    Yes. All is well. Thanks to MFP.

    Happy with my blood sugar readings over the last 4 months as instructed, and still don't think it necessary to put me on any diabetic medication.

    Another appointment in 4 months.

    Hugs, friend, but Repercussions? I hope he doesn’t get angry with YOU for someone else’s nonsense.

    You are right, but regardless of my wrong choices in this situation I feel that it’s simply not that simple. If I put myself in his shoes, I would be jealous. Personally I don’t think jealousy is wrong. How it’s handled at times is wrong, definitely, but not the feeling in itself. Dealing with controversy is enough to make me want to avoid the situation, let alone having to explain my wrong doing which lead to it.

    I personally feel like jealousy is something you feel over your partner showing attention to another person. You can't control someone else's actions (the ex contacting you) so there is nothing to be jealous over. Your attention is not on your ex. You realize now you shouldn't have continued contact with his mom. Your current partner has the right to be upset at your continued contact with the ex's mom without his knowledge, but he shouldn't be jealous.

    Therapy is not helping, medication is not my helping, working out is not helping. If anything I feel like I’m getting worse.

    Ugh, I dunno what your specific fight is but I've been there. Keep battling, and I hope you find the combination that works for you to give you that break

    Thanks 🙏🏽

    im sorry to hear this one.
    normally i'd say to most folks that they should try and get some time off work/school/family/whatever and take a private little trip somewhere all to themselves to clear their heads. maybe have some fun. even if its just a day.
    but that may not be what you need either. and it's rarely ever that simple.
    so what do you think would help?
    ain't saying you gotta answer here or nothing either, but it is worth thinking about regardless. and i hope you pass through it soon.

    Thanks 😪 I just wish my health problems would go away and I could sleep. I’m moving downstairs next month and I’m just feeling overwhelmed.

    A few months ago I found a half dead firefly on my window sill in my room. I have no clue how it got in, because I keep my windows closed and sealed shut with duck tape (long story 💀) I just thought about it while looking at my window. I read that firefly’s are very symbolic 🤔 I found it comforting for some odd reason. I still want to know how it got in.

    Will there ever be a time my son and I can do homework together without fighting? I swear this kid thinks he knows everything, yet he’s asking for help.

    I feel you...

    I swear if I find one more freaking PBJ with 2 bites taken.... He's going to be doing some hard time

    My kid keeps coming home with his whole lunch. I sent him a ham and Swiss sandwich on a pretzel bagel with pita chips and artichoke dip, grapes, a yogurt and a fun size aero bar. He came home having eaten the aero bar and told me the rest is gross. Does that sound gross to you? lol.

    These kids, ungrateful little stinker.

    Also you can send peanut butter to school?

    Mine said flat out, lunch is short and he wants to play... I guess he is an only child and doesn't have any play time with kids his age at home 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    But it's like, come on kid... If you want to stop those goals that went over your head last season... You gotta freaking eat 😂...

    Yeah we can bring peanut butter... They have nut free classes and tables...

    I really like your prospective, thank you. I guess I’ve never really thought of it that way.

    If the third party is not a true rival for your partner's attention, why be jealous?

    I think your heart is right....you are where you belong and with the right person. It may get uncomfortable, there may be some anger and jealousy, but weather that storm and you will be ok, its always better to make a tough decision now and deal with the consequences briefly, or put it off and deal with them in your head and heart forever.

    well said

    trust me, i understand lack of sleep as well as anybody and how it can play havoc within you.

    your firefly is especially interesting to me. honestly.
    they have four life cycles. egg, larva, pupa and then (shoutout to me) the imago- the fully formed adult version, which is what you found. if you wanted to ascribe meaning to that, you'd have to look into yourself a little bit further i think.

    point being, whatever you're going through, it's hopefully near the end as well, and everything prior has been part of the transformation.

    Whether or not I am with the right person isn’t necessarily important. But I do agree that it’s better to always be honest despite the momentary drama it will conjure up. Rather than putting it off and ultimately destroying what was built caused of lack of trust. Which was exactly the point of my post. If I would of been honest that I kept in contact with his mother, when and if this day came around I wouldn’t of felt so guilty and felt tempted to lie. Hence, honesty is always best despite how uncomfortable it makes you feel in the moment.

    Being with the right person is very important. The right person is the one that will be with you for what is real and accept your flaws or mistakes.

    to a degree i would say. but life isn't quite so black and white. there are variables of grey for everyone and what works for someone and their ideals may not necessarily be in the same realm as another person. a certain amount of give and take is more important than being *with the right person*, especially if you're committed to each other and there's children involved - compromise is the key

    If he has been cheated on, deceived, or played before he'll be jealous. Trust is like a broken vase no matter how you glue the damn thing there still be crack in it

    I agree with you on that.
    However, I feel that fundamentally, jealously shouldn't occur unless there is a real threat to the relationship.

    Again.....the right person is the one that will compromise, and be compassionate. You have described what being the right person is. Sometimes the right person is the one that can make you the angriest, but thats all part of going all in.

    confirmed for agreement on that. and there's always room for improvement :)

    Jenny you did absolutely nothing wrong...
    No one has any right to give you *kitten* for this

    He has no right to feel jealous either, you've done nothing wrong...

    ETA... Who gives a *kitten* if he is jealous...

    It's your business and you don't owe anyone the details of the conversation, not even your current partner...

    You have a right to your privacy, and if he is a good partner, he'll understand this...

    It's OK for you to think solely about yourself and be selfish even... You've got yourself and your kids, to hell with anyone else and there "feelings".

    You are the only thing you need to consider here... And he'll just need to respect that, if not then again, you deserve better...
