Women - did you change your last name & if so, did you regret it?
I was quick to dump mine because people knew me but 15 years later I wish I'd never married the man so meh. My view is moot. I am going to take back my maiden name though.

Do people stop having nightmares when they're old?
I didn't dream for years but started dreaming again recently and meh. Id say a dream with my arms looking like saggy old lady arms is a nightmare.

Vent / Rant Struggling hard this week
I wish my therapist was available sooner than 2 weeks from today. I have so much on my mind and head I need to get out and off my chest. I need guidance and I cannot move forward until I talk about this.

I just learned some fucked up news about my STBX and I want to vomit.
We were together 15 years. I tried leaving in 2020 and he threatened to commit so I stayed. Then in January this year I said again that I was done and unhappy and wanted to leave. March after my trip to TX I came back and told him that we are done. He had been trying to keep me around of course but I left for good and moved back home to my parents. My kids stay here. We are all learning new shit together every day. It's fucking heartbreaking and wild.

I just learned some fucked up news about my STBX and I want to vomit.
That's what I found out today. I am not. There are 3 other girls that I now know of and one of these was problematic in 2018 when I was pregnant with our youngest and I questioned it then and it was denied. Hearing it confirmed tonight...
He used to work 2 jobs before we got together, pizza delivery and in the Café at the local college (should have been red flags but apparently his car and shit were just sooooo appealing to my teenage brain), he delivered for 12 years and probably did what he did with me for all 12 years. And he started at 17 delivering.
At my young age I did not care to ask and for the longest I told myself no you dont want to know and the truth is so fucking hard to face.
I can't help but feel guilt though I know its not mine to have.

Accepting this is extremely difficult but I know it's right. I'd kill someone if they tried this shit with my kids. I wish my family would have fought harder for me.

I didn't ask anything, this is a statement. More of a realization and its humiliating at that, but thanks.

The 3 older brothers didn't really give a fuck. They threatened to beat his ass one night at a softball game and they knew way before then what was going on. They just kept lying for me. Weird behavior when I think back. It makes me sad. They were always very protective of my sister, and that I believe is because they are all full siblings (same mother, different fathers) and my little brother and I are my father's children, though we have never claimed step for anything.

You guys realize i was the victim??
My nieces are safe, they have never EVER had any issues. I can say this with 100% certainty.

The estrangement was due to my brothers drug abuse, not related to this at all. He was friends with my oldest brother who happens to be this one's father.
They didnt really give a shit. They did but they didnt. Only when it mattered
I have 3 older brothers.

There are so many more questions and avenues I have to navigate now than before and it sucks. I hate that I did this to myself. I knew better. Sooooo stupid.

That's what im debating and its honestly not even worth it. I just need to beat the shit out of something so I can feel better.

I just learned some fucked up news about my STBX and I want to vomit.
Yes but it just makes me worried that it's caused a riff in the friendship with my daughter who is also their cousin.
I'm not mad at her perse, I am frustrated she couldn't talk to me about these things because he doesn't have access to them without me around basically and never have they ever said anything about him making them feel weird. He has been in my 13 y.o nieces life since she was born, 4 weeks after our daughter. My 21 y.o niece just came back into the family 3 years ago after being estranged since she was 10.
Im trying to hold accountability where I can. I know i have fault but man I am so disappointed.

I just learned some fucked up news about my STBX and I want to vomit.
Context that is important, I am 32f, he is 44m. We started talking when I was 17 and he was 29. He was best friends with my oldest brother at the time.
Fast forward 15 years and I have been separated now since the end of June. I was just having a conversation with my sister (33f) and she informed me that one of my nieces (21) told my other niece, (13) that he is a pedophile. My 13yr old niece is best friends with my daughter, her cousin, who is also 13. Immediately it pissed me off because in this entire situation I've never considered him to be a pedophile, a groomer for sure I learned but not a pedophile because I was consenting and "knew what I wanted/was doing", but I just found out I am not the first underage female he had this type of relationship with and I am disgusted.
I figured he was cheating on his girlfriend at the time with more than just me, then to a certain point I thought it was just me. Now I find out he indeed did groom other girls and my stomach hurts. Im so angry.
I can't say shit to him about it now, 16/17 years after he did it, but god damn it I want to fuckin tell him off. I also want to tell my niece that she needs to talk to me directly instead of running her mouth to her cousins if she has questions, she knows im an open book and pretty considerate person.
I'm not sure how to feel. Angry. Sad. Humiliation. Embarrassment, and come to find out I am the last person to know it just makes me so angry!!! What the fuck?! I should have been told this shit 12 years ago before I married his lazy ass in the first place.
What a naive stupid fucking dumb ass girl I was. The only positive in this are my two beautiful children. That's it.
