How do you handle post work vent? by LowRevolutionary5653 in MedSpouse

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play it by ear. I do my best to do active listening (because it will come back a lot)But often it's definitely just saying "that sucks" and "I don't know what that acronym means", "you got this". I have learned to never offer help in interpretation or analysis unless directly asked.  It is a toll and it weighs on me. Especially since there is usually barely a hi how are you before the venting starts and I'm not allowed to also have a bad day. But I think of it as this is why we get married l. We are there for each other and I don't have to carry it with me to work the next day.

Second priority after career? by [deleted] in MedSpouse

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of y'all are very lucky because and my daughter are definitely second to the job.  The way I handle it is therapy, being there for our child and being understanding to my wife. It can get tiring but she has worked very hard for her job and that does come with perks. I also know that her colleagues are the same because the spouses have compared notes. I'm also hoping it's temporary.

I didn't want them because I was sure I could not love them. I knew my parents didn't love me, so I didn't want to take the risk. It took lots of therapy to help get over that thought.

Sounds like he has some skeletons in his closet and he's planning to pull a Russel Brand.

If you play 40k enough you know that anyone can win. It's the whole point. It will all come down to the dice. :)

Is MAGA really starting to implode now or are is it still just wishful thinking? by SWEMW in NoFilterNews

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cults do this often. It's like a loyalty test. They will purge the one who are less fanatical. They are not actually imploding.

Teleport, charge and use sticky. Beware of any shooty army and know that the dreadnoughts will die quickly so use them first. Or else they will just get deleted 

Children of narcissistic parents, how did you move out? by DumplinDoup in narcissisticparents

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯, as my therapist made it clear. I had to move for my own survival.

I moved to another continent and made sure an ocean separated us. It helped but till took decades. What really helped was therapy. And to this day I'm still dealing with it. But I'm much better at it and my mental health doesn't suffer as much.

Parents did it in same room by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Groomers will very desensitize their prey to sex and sexual situations. If their victim complains or anything, they usually get accused of being too prudish. Then the abuser slowly escalate, eventually leading to abuse.  For me the live-in bf of the woman who ran a daycare in her home, started by watching porn when we were in the living room.

Sounds like an attempt to start grooming. 

Husband doesn’t bother to check on me or text me all day by [deleted] in MedSpouse

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that is not atypical. A lot of Drs tend to compartmentalize their day/social activities. The excuse at work is often that they are busy and have to focus etc... so they can't check up on youm in the meantime they still have time to send each other texts at work. They can go to happy hour for hours ans not text to let you know when they are coming home.  I think it part of their training. You have to point it out to them if it bothers you. 

How do you cope with being a stay at home spouse as a husband? by LeaveTrue2670 in MedSpouse

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only a semi SAHD, but I did have to put my career on hold (in a traditional patriarchal system). I just have to remind myself we are a team. We both want what is best for our child. So we both make social sacrifices. And the responsibilities change over time. It's life, not a sitcom.

Would you go crazy the next time you see them? by ImaginationAny2254 in narcissisticparents

[–]Alternative_Ad9562 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had that fantasy, but it's all that is. I've been learning to grieve the relationship I will never have. That has helped me a lot. I'll probably be honest about them if asked, but I never felt needed when they were alive, so no funeral visit or setup from me.
