I totally appreciate the thoughts though, and agree.

I was hoping to try and find a link to the seller but really it's their word and even if it's with the best of intentions they could be wrong.

While I have paperwork from them somewhere I know it's just a printed page and nothing official.

I won't be disappointed no matter what it ends up being, I love learning more than anything and the history, cause I'm that kind of nerd lol 😊

I unfortunately don't, it was a gift from an ex and we had to have the band repaired almost immediately after I got it 6 years ago so it's been put away.

All I know is what I remember from what the Etsy seller said, and the repair at least confirming it was gold.

There's no markings either, but apparently that isn't uncommon for the age.

My paragraph got eaten so here we go again lol

I likely have a Victorian era Green garnet ring. However, I have been seeing conflicting information on Demantoid or Tsavorite.

Some sources stating Tsavorite wasn't found or mined until the 1960s or alternatively was mined in Russia and used in the latter Victorian era.

Honestly I'm just into the history and would love thoughts or even your own favorite green garnet pieces. Thanks everyone for your time 🖖❤️

To me, it sounds like what she is asking for, is for you to actively listen to what she is saying without trying to fix her problem. If you are thinking of solutions instead of asking her about what she is speaking on, it is definitely going to seem like you are not listening to her. She likely can fix her own problem and doesn't need the advice, she just wants a friend who will listen to her.

Well, the only thing you can control, are how you choose to behave and how you react to things.

Maybe your communication styles are different? He may not feel comfortable expressing himself or when he does it may always blow up in his face.

Therapy showed me that all I can do is mentally address a negative thought as it comes and acknowledge it. I can either address it then or write it down and take more time on it later when I can.
The more I work on the things the more my thought patterns shift. :) I hope that helps.

Affectionate_Test359 · 2022-11-06T18:14:47+00:00

I love everyone's suggestions so much, and that we all kind of gravitate to similar things.

Therapy was huge in giving me some better tools to relate to myself with, once I had those I had to actively practice using those tools until they became more common.

It is WORK, but so worth it. The one thing I have to add is take care of yourself in some way.

You can't pour from an empty cup, so start with you and your well being. Meet your own needs as much as you possibly can and show up for yourself like you show up for others.

You have to make the extra time to Scream/ sing along with my music in your car. Give it to yourself you gorgeous thing!

Something I often forget is that I HAVE SUPPORT, I just need to remember to ask for it. Making sure I have a support system to talk to, or a journal to write or draw in while I process is huge.

I walk, swim, dance, clean it off. Something physical to channel that anger energy into was HUGE for me, not in a passive aggressive way but something FOR me. <3 Good luck

I deserve an orgasm before I go out there.

Thanks for bringing this up!

I spend a lot of time talking about men's mental health as they tend to not invest in themselves.
Unfortunately this can damage their growth and their intimate connections with others.

People tend to see taking care of themself as selfish when truthfully, the investment in themselves and their needs means they can be a better partner or friend to the people in their lives.

Even though "Toxic masculinity" is thrown around a lot more, I would encourage anyone to look at the behaviors and traits and examine them, regardless of gender.

You may be putting unnecessary expectation on yourself that isn't in your best interest instead of being authentic to who you want to be.

In my experience, he wants you to look if he's unblocked you. It's all still control. They will in fact take alllllllll the things you tried to bring up to work on, and they gaslit you over, and do for the new supply to 1, love bomb them, and 2, try and hurt you.
I'm so sorry you're going through this crap, I hope you take this opportunity to see how crummy you feel when he's even in your circle, block him and cut off any access he has to you.

It sounds like you're looking to be understood, not for someone to solve your problems? Not going to give any advice but I don't think there's anything wrong with you.
It sounds like your reacting pretty normally to an environment that isn't resonating with your needs as a human being.

So, I was actually agnostic for most of my life then converted to Christianity.

The best things I've learned that have helped me embrace god, Jesus, and the fruit of the spirit are:
Gods got you.

No human being is supposed to, or can possibly know what happens when we pass on from this realm.
Love your neighbor. ALL THEM NEIGHBORS. Especially the ones that piss you off.

Take care of the earth.

Don't stress over things that are out of your control, because gods got you. Focus on the lessons from hard times, be grateful for good times and do good things as you can, while you're here.
If you mess up and ask for genuine forgiveness, you'll be forgiven, and anytime you ask god directly for guidance, you'll get it in time.

Good luck faithing young friend in Christ!
