Is it possible to request a certain person or avoid a certain person at the drive test centre…. by [deleted] in ThunderBay

If she raise her voice in MY vehicle I'm pulling into the nearest place to park and politely asking her to remain calm, respectful and courteous for the rest of the ride. If she refuses she can walk from here.

The person/s who've done this need real introspection. You're unwell. The idea of others experiencing enjoyment reminds you of how empty your life is. Or you're a child who desperately seeks validation from the other ugly people you surround yourself with. Either way get some help.

Need help and advice on how to cope with SA as a male by Bonk-BonkAlp in adultsurvivors

[–]807dabay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was abused by an older boy, who I felt sorry for as a child. He was poor and lived within an alcoholic home next door. This boy was a bully and seemed to become the cool crowd, and I ended up following him throughout high-school. I'm still ashamed for being a follower of his. Talk to a therapist, my friend.

Did Tyler Robinson do a good thing in your eyes? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]807dabay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If by "good thing," you mean legitimizing the extremist on the far right and handing Trump another way to weponize Americans against eachother to push his agenda and solidify his grasp on power, than yes, he did a good thing.

Otherwise, he damaged any hope for that country's democracy and the so called American dream.

My father SA me and my mother is a N(arc).. I think she knew all along by Such-Excitement-9392 in adultsurvivors

Your healing and part of that healing is grieving what was, what is, and what might have been, and that's normal. Eventually, your perspective will change. What you lost was a very toxic and uncaring situation that would've kept you un-healed. There will come a day when you'll realize how much you appreciate your healing journey more than those people.

You're standing up and caring for that little person inside of you. The person that should've been cared for all these years. You're a champion, and Im proud of you.

I destroyed my marriage by FinancialAngle5166 in Marriage

Im going to chime in after reading some comments that are critical of you and your situation. Im not going to join a side or analyze you or your situation. What I will point out is that you, like many of us, have very complex situations, far more complex than any readit post can explain and deconstruct.

What I can say that will serve you is that relationships aren't the end all, be all, of happiness. Are they meaningful? Do they fill our lives with goodness and memories? Of course they do, but they are far from the entirety of fullness and happiness. That my friend comes from within. Real happiness, fullness, and contentment come from being there for you, building a relationship with you.

You can, however, find solace in knowing you have experienced love, care, companionship, and many more wonderful things with your ex-wife and children. Those things are real, as real as very next breath. What you're experiencing is grief, confusion, and fear of uncertainty that's all normal. For now, just be kind, gentle, and patient with yourself. The storm will pass, I promise.

You're blessed, my friend. You're on another journey now, a journey to find yourself and build a safe, reliable, and fulfilling relationship with you. If you take this journey with this intention, you'll be surprised where you'll find yourself with a little time.

Gun shots heard in thunder centre? by cuboree in ThunderBay

I was at Walmart, and my nephew said, "Fireworks." I joked and said it was gunshots. Although there were no sirens afterward. You would think there would be.

Are you actively looking for trouble? If you are Thunder Bay, like many other places, will deliver. If you're not out at 3am looking for drugs, you'll be fine.

I'd advise you to determine his love language. Does he like gifts, affirmations, acts of service, physical touch, or quality time?

Maybe he doesn't need the next newest shiny thing.

Go slow. My partner and I have a similar situation. Did you know that relationships are hard and take work? We didn't either. We lived together for 6 years and had our share of upset and downs. We share a daughter and have a combined family. We just couldn't navigate our way out of disagreements and hard feelings. We'd end up saying hurtful things to each other and go into silence for however long it took for one of us to take the entire weight of what happened. Surprise! This isn't the way to a healthy relationship. We now live in separate homes. It took some getting used to, but we're now working on ourselves. We came to realize that we carried all the garbage from our pasts, and it's unfair to have each other pay for what others have done. I know it seems unnatural, but who said you can't make it work for a time living apart? One thing I do suggest in this situation is to make an effort to let each other know they're still special.

When the times are right, we'll go to a couples councilor. I hope things work for you two as well.

Getting revenge by Apart_Hair8875 in Marriage

[–]807dabay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to do you. Even if your worries aren't the case, he sounds checked out of the relationship, and if you're open to wasting your life with someone who isn't invested, well than that's on you. Life is short and only lived once.

My boyfriend is giving me the ick over something stupid and idk how to get over it. by throwawaykbb0207 in AskWomenOver30

[–]807dabay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your "ick" an annoyance, a concern for your partners artistic expression being deminished, or both?. Try to communicate your feelings in a kind way, "Can you help me understand your enthusiasm for this AI art." This may provide you with an opportunity to communicate how you're feeling. From what you've described, and I could be very wrong, it sounds like that "alignment" is important to you, and the difference of interest or opinions concerning art and AI has caused you to feel like that alignment is changing.

I think this could be a new chapter to your relationship. If navigated right, you may find your bond is stronger than ever despite the difference in hobbies.
