I’m still so messed up.

Married 15 years. “Emotional affair” that I never got confirmation on having gone any further, which honestly messes me up even more because… what if I overreacted?Divorce was finalized recently. Not my choice. I’m still a wreck. I love/d that woman more than life itself. Yes, I am in therapy. Yes, I work out relentlessly. Yes, I cook and clean and make new friends and hang out and do hobbies and read and write and all the other stuff.I still feel completely messed up from all of it. My “loss” of her, for sure; but also, my inability to likely ever know the whole truth. I think knowing would at least help even if it hurt me more initially…I don’t know. I’m a year post-separation, co-parenting now as no-contact as I can get without completely cutting her out of my life (which would be preferable), and living completely on my own half the time. Anyone else in a similar situation that can maybe shed some light on this? Will I ever actually feel better? Or at least stop thinking about her? Does the cycle of grief ever end? via /r/survivinginfidelity https://ift.tt/0pEPKeO

Rant: My coworker sent me a screenshot of a conversation he had where our boss compared me pumping at work to smoke breaks and people spending 15 minutes in the bathroom to be on their phone

I use a wearable pump and spend 5 minutes tops putting it on in the bathroom because there is no other private area for me to do it. I work while I pump. I’m hurt that I’m being roped into the same category as people who “steal company time”. via /r/breastfeeding https://ift.tt/c8Is2LY

Parental influence on level of extroversion in offspring

Seeing major differences in my first and seconds level of extroversion. My first was definitely easily described as a velcro baby and has become a very extroverted toddler. My second is fine on her own and seems to be developing into an introvert. It’s my understanding that introversion and extroversion are set traits. My question is when in childhood does this personality trait become set or fixed? And can anything that a parent does previous to this age be influential? via /r/ScienceBasedParenting https://ift.tt/mrXbh18

How Trump’s ‘51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious

Fascinating but also terrifying…..A little excerpt from the piece:Mr. Lutnick called Mr. LeBlanc after the leaders had spoken on Feb. 3, and issued a devastating message, according to several people familiar with the call: Mr. Trump, he said, had come to realize that the relationship between the United States and Canada was governed by a slew of agreements and treaties that were easy to abandon.Mr. Trump was interested in doing just that, Mr. Lutnick said.He wanted to eject Canada out of an intelligence-sharing group known as the Five Eyes that also includes Britain, Australia and New Zealand.He wanted to tear up the Great Lakes agreements and conventions between the two nations that lay out how they share and manage Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario.And he is also reviewing military cooperation between the two countries, particularly the North American Aerospace Defense Command.LINK: https://ift.tt/NGHwdkV via /r/canadaland https://ift.tt/0BQOPq9
