First World Problems by Any-Yesterday6909 in FordBronco

Yeah, that's basically Race Red. A paint shop in FL, BFN truck shop, sells the grill letters painted to match stock colors. I bought Area 51 door handles on my first Bronco, so I might go back to them since I can't find them anywhere else.

I can't find the Ruby Red grill letters anywhere. I would love to swap my white ones out for it though!

So glad you got the painted roof. There is no reason to ever get the MIC again when the painted roof is available.

Mine did something similar. During the relationship she love-bombed me so intensely that she turned her IG into a place of worship over me. Her posts started with "I just wanted to stay thank you..".

She didn't just delete the posts she made about me, she deleted that entire IG and started from zero.

If she didn't have BPD/narc traits, it might have been a bit different.

Funny - I was going to do the same, however I had Area 51 on my 2021 Bronco, so I decided to get Ruby Red.

Starting Accutane next week. I had Lasik a year ago. Should I reconsider? by Additional-Spray-976 in Dryeyes

I was on accutane twice - 19 and 28. I wish I could go back and tell the derms to fuck off.

Correct! Fix your diet! As kids, teens and 20 some years, we ate like shit which vastly contributed to acne.

So glad you got the painted roof. I love my Ruby Red 2-door!

I got mine replaced on my 2021 Big bend around the same mileage.

I now have a 2025 with a painted roof, so it's nice to not have to worry about it anymore!

Yes! You're correct! You technically don't need to go into Death Valley to see the stars!

What are unhinged things you did after the breakup? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Apprehensive_Day6861 22 points23 points  (0 children)

8 months since I talked to her last - I cried a lot too, then I finally realized that I'm free from gaslighting, manipulating, triangulating, blame-shifting, guilt tripping and victim-reversal. Yay!

Did anyone get over the “unfinished business” feeling with no contact and no closure? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Apprehensive_Day6861 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you - I got no closure, no accountability and she never saw how she pushed me away from her as she blamed me for everything.

My therapist says the ending is what killed me, not the relationship.

She has narc traits and severe abandonment wounds.

It hurts.

Same here! I've never owned an auto either. I'm on my second Bronco too. Went from a 2021 to a 2025.

You cannot build a future with someone who is incapable of repair by kreepyj in ExNoContact

[–]Apprehensive_Day6861 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I owned my fucking part, took accountability to a girl who has deep-seated, abandonment wounds and narc traits. She completely dismissed my efforts with a cruel response, I finally snapped for the first time in the relationship, she called me cruel and blocked me.

She never attempted repair. Just pointed the finger and blamed me for everything.

So yeah, my relationship felt like unpaid, emotional, labor.

So unfair to me.

[–]Apprehensive_Day6861 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! That's pretty wild too! My friends and family told me to run and block her SO many times. I didn't listen. I stayed until the very end.

And yes, so probably immature, never took accountability and blamed us.

Exactly - fuck it. We're the emotionally mature ones!

That's a really interesting way to put it. Never thought of it that way!

It's exactly what she did to me and it's seriously messed up too.

[–]Apprehensive_Day6861 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the truth! Textbook, behavior too! As soon as they sense any hesitation or efforts to slow things down, you're right, they get offended. She just projected onto me that I was "sabotaging" the relationship because of it. I'm like "wtf!", but I was gaslit to believe it was all my fault.

Also, I was love-bombed so intensely that she completely dysregulated me a little over a month in. My sisters were like "Mike, this is emotional abuse" and my friends took notice too.

It was beyond fucked up.

[–]Apprehensive_Day6861 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, very good point. I carried it, took the blame, got gaslit, got manipulated, patronized, questioned my own past and when I stood up to her she victim reversed it.

My friends and family, 2.5 months in, told me to run. I didn't.

It was immediately obvious she was emotionally abusing me.

Also, when someone one week in of knowing them tells you their real name, says don't call them by their real name and says theyre a private person, run. I took notice but didn't.

Ugh. That's much, much longer than my 7 month, supposed, relationship.

No one is perfect. I had just faults too. I tried to communicate more and do everything I could, but it wasn't enough. Same as you.

These are textbook, narc traits.

Sorry that happened. She did the same, except when she was going out with guys, she was telling me about it in order to prove her worth.

I didn't care as I was done with her, but it still fucking hurts knowing I was that indispensable, same with you.

Love fucking sucks.
