To lsunurse - i know you don’t know me but your soon to be ex doesn’t deserve your time or consideration. Even if he’s not sleeping with his new “friend”, it’s still crappy of him to tell you all about her right now. I think you should go no-contact with him for your own mental well-being. And just take the dog. He chose to end your marriage so it’s the least he can do.
ETA i know it’s not my business but after reading that i was angry for you.

Wow. I can't wrap my head around this. I can kinda see why someone would not want to eat right, but I can't fathom why you wouldn't just take a simple medication.

I'd just sign the papers and never contact him again. I'm sure it's painful but that's the quickest way forward in my opinion. And I wouldn't want to be in a relationship where the other person wasn't fully committed.

Makes two of us. Docs told her that the strokes likely would not have happened if she were taking the meds.

I think she leaves Butters with the ex. for the dog's benefit more than anything. But I agree she should try and place more importance on her feelings than others.
But..
that's a wonderful thing about Nurse she considers others' needs more important than her own.

This is true. It's hard to find that balance.

She seems like a cool lady. I'd just need some closure personally if it were me.
Posted on 12/20/20 at 12:26 pm to fallguy_1978
none of are judging, we have all been there in one way or another. We all hang on to that idea of love , longer than outsiders think we should.
its a process, I respect Nurse for the sacrifice she makes for love and those she loves

Closure isn’t a real thing, though. Just like revenge, what you think will bring you solace doesn’t bring you any satisfaction at all.

She can only do what is best for her. Who is to say going no-contact wouldn't be even worse for her? Obviously she is using the dog to hold onto something she once had, but she is grieving and has to heal on her own schedule.
Losing someone you love is devastating. I lost the love of my life 8 years ago due to pancreatic cancer and I still havnt healed. Doubt I ever will. Whenever a woman tries to get close to me I explain I am emotionally unavailable and am only looking for fun. Some try to heal me but eventually they realize I can only do it on my own schedule.
Hopefully nurse will find her way and come out better for it.

And I just found out he has a new female friend and thinks because they are only being just friends right now (apparently she went through a bad divorce and won't even consider anything more than friendship until things are final) and no physical contact...that's noble of him to do to me before the divorce is final.
He might be in a stage called “limerance.” And he might be working with a “limerant” brain right now. Not very different than a person who is chemically dependent on something.
Go read about it.

There are mixed things about sharing Butters with my STBX (soon to be ex)
1) We went through losing our other dog this summer (which my STBX loved like a child...that was his dog and the only time I've ever seen him sobbing like a baby was when our dog Payson died). Butters grew up with him as well so that was his best buddy.
2) Because of that....I'm trying to show a kindness to my STBX and do what is best for my dog at the same time. I can have my dog locked up all day while I'm at work in a kennel in my crappy divorce apartment. Or...I can have him being spoiled rotten all day by my STBX while he works from home. I know STBX loves Butters as well and know the bonding he has with him know is from him still grieving the loss of his dog.
3) I also really want things to be civil between us. We both have said we don't want to just completely shut each other out of our lives completely. I know he still cares for me in some aspect and if I ever truly needed something....he would help me out. He's told me that. I've gone through a lot with my father's mental illness and there is a lot that only my STBX fully understands. So he is currently the only one that truly gets my struggles there. And he has said no matter what happens between us....i can always call him for emotional support for my dad cause he knows I don't have a lot of people to turn to for that(that TRULY understand the struggle).
I just have to figure out a way to navigate all this in a way that isn't just breaking my heart over each day. I'm actually going to have a long chat with him tonight about all this and how we do this. Maybe just drop Butters off at the door in the am and then he drops off Butters in the evening? Don't know. I would like to try to find a compromise though. No contact whatsoever just isn't something I want to do at this point.

Well, good luck and please take care of yourself and your mental health. It sounds like a lot of people depend on you and you will be no good to anyone else from the inside of a mental hospital. Unless you’re there as, you know, a nurse.

I couldn't agree more. Since he is apparently already committed to it, just go ahead and do it then begin the moving on process. There's no reason she should burden herself with him for a minute longer than she legally has to.
There's a world of possibility waiting for her out there.

I hear the stories of him were very overstated.
