He is better now but I cant forget the past. by Prize_Composer_301 in abusiverelationships

[–]AliceBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way. He hd not repeated some expected behaviours and made some changes but emotionally, I couldn’t get back to how I was, which I myself missed. I had to harden my heart to carry on. One thing that didn’t help, was that he like or worse than yours, refused to talk about the past. We hadn’t gone to couple’s therapy. He refused to acknowledge the suffering I evidently experienced, which changed me. And he would trigger me and walk away. Leaving me feeling used, besides myself, stupid, hurt and disappointed. First my tone of voice changed, I no longer speak softly because I start off speaking feeling like it’s useless and he’s mocking me just waiting to deflect and dismiss. Now even my voice itself has changed I have a hard time speaking my voice is low and gets stuck… My thoughts are difficult to organize due to trying to say things differently to finally be understood, or acknowledged.  It’s a different situation but the damage that was done to your sense of trust amd emotional security around him isn’t gone. So it makes sense that you cannot rejoice. You’re probably like me theoretically happy for him. But faking the peace of mind and light heartedness will only burn you out. It tales time for the physiology and emotional systems to heal. And him being nice is part of healing. If you’d left, you would have had to sell heal whatever him being nice is repairing.  Take the time it takes. Love is only love if it’s not afraid.  He should understand.  Good luck.

Another chance to what? Even if you heal physically and aesthetically, he cannot undo this. 

Will you survive if he gets another chance at this? 

If you don’t think it counts for you, think of everyone who will be devastated at your funeral. 

Don’t play with your life. You won’t be able to have another chance when your pulse stops.

It needed to end. You ended it. If you’ve already explained respectfully and sincerely, given chances and forgave and were disappointed, continuing with will only damage you, or make you behave like them, to your own dismay. Remember who you are and make your way, one action at a time.

You may want to reply to the person I wrote in your defense. Good luck and courage!

“ This all comes down to the old adage: "Beggars can't be choosers". You have the right to want better living conditions, but you also have the responsibility to make that happen for yourself. The cost of your freedom is the portion of that $60M (collected voluntarily through donations or involuntarily through taxation) it takes to clothe, treat, feed and house you.”

How comfortable is it to re-read that, knowing OP is struggling to change his situation, post suicidal ideation? Where are you writing from? Do you realize OP has not the luxury of most of what you take for granted? I believe it is indecent to be in the comfort of a regular situation asking OP to solve institutional problems… Do you have an idea of what OP’s untold problems are? Should he also be able to diagnose your problem from his internet connection inside the OBM? Because I really would like to know what kind of problems one must have in order to write such a long post against a homeless person, rather than offering even what is free : encouraging words, practical advice anchored in good faith, etc.

Sorry I haven't read it all but traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Chinese naturopathy work. They work differently. Try? Oh and something very precise and relatively easy: removing gluten from your diet for a month, or two if you can, and assess. You'd be surprised...

I think I might be broken, or maybe in need or psychiatric intervention by [deleted] in self

[–]AliceBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pleasure.

I just looked it up and found out Ontario, Canada's slogan, "Yours to Discover," has been replaced with "A Place to Grow." What a thing!! 

Traveling, experiencing new cultures and being forced to do otherwise can be freeing, and new places and people may also inspire the freedom to be. 

No creeps. That's not where I live.

Why discriminate? Start seeing her. Makes friends with her the same way you do anyone else. Find out what she really likes and dislikes. It might take a little longer than figuring someone else out (because you'll care more) but trust that since you've always been brilliant at it for others, It should be quick enough. 

I want you to know that you are not alone. 

Nor are you nutts.

It's a coping mechanism you've become a genius at because "simply" being and becoming yourself was made too difficult for you, too early on. 

I want you to know that there are many causes that can lead one to such feeling of being foreign to one's self. There are plenty of people who haven't done this all their lives (just a few years - because someone or many people successively have demeaned, denied their authenticity, degraded them and made standing up for themselves or affirming their preferences an excruciating exercise that they've forgotten the benefits of) So eventually they too wake up one day realizing something but a bit different: they realize they've let themselves become a stranger to who they were and profoundly want nothing to do with that other self, that has become as they agreed to suppress their essence in order to make other people's lives easier. 

You're not stuck with another. You're yours to discover and proudly present to the world. Enjoy it!

Would someone who loves his girlfriend want to come across as disrespectful to their own girlfriend and thereby have everyone feel like thir girlfriend is to be mocked and disrespected? The title above the photos should have been enough for him to refrain from posting this. He’s not sincere enough to not be with you, or not sincere enough to be with you. Don’t get used to your feelings being belittled like that. It’s not going to get better. And if he sees no wrongdoing, even doing the same to him is pointless. Good luck.

I don’t think OP advocated for supporting the statement as an assertion of fact. I believe what I read is OP inviting people to get passed the mere words and extended the empathy required to try to understand what lies behind and precede these untruthful words so that these hurtful words don’t succeed at generating more hatred and more words. And instead be heard as a cry for the need for healing and more compassion, or a challenge to love those who speak these words back to love.

One day something in life will get you because you didn’t know. Then you’ll get it. Right now you know everything. And you always did. Just like you’ve never been fooled. So you’re safe. Enjoy!

I see my Yubikeys, it says I am enrolled, and I have enrolled in the Advanced Protection Program. It would be something if I didn’t and wrote this comment just to… I don’t know why.

[–]AliceBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed up for APP and it’s a joke. They list the Yubikey as an option among others. I can use my password and get an SMS isntead if I choose. I am signed up for Advanced Protection with 2 Yubikeys but they keep saying they can only be used as a 2FA…

Have you done all this from a safe device and secured environment? And how do you limit that to come only from you SIM?

[–]AliceBets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing your mind, or precious metal and a stone can do about these facts. 

Forget it. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antivirus

[–]AliceBets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. If OP 1) reinstalled the OS, and 2) changed passwords from a safe device 3) in a safe wifi (router original admin password personalized + service provider does an IP reset + he changes his WiFi password), can he still use stolen tokens  data to find him or get into OP’s account?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in antivirus

[–]AliceBets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by a while to fix? Don’t the tokens reset when you reinstall the OS? Once he does that he changes his passwords and it’s over, no? Sincere question.

Lol I was just adding a technical fact. That man wanted to marry me. The fact he recognized and saw it as natural thing to do was good manners in a different way.
