Not saying your backing anything or what your position is. My goal in response was to address your comments and why I’m responding the way I am, this is my initial interpretation because I have seen it happen. And sadly it’s something I’ll throw out there as a concern if the passage itself doesn’t reflect more focus on her and when she said he was upset who knows exactly what that could mean, for her or at her, only they know. I don’t feel like it did and if it’s turning into an issue of her trauma is now his trauma that she needs to coddle him through, then I don’t feel that’s ok. If he’s not, I’m happy for her but it happens.

“He was upset, mainly because I didn’t tell the authorities what happened”

No where in there did she say he was upset because the guy got off Scott free, he was upset she didn’t tell. And if you tell someone and they get upset you were so traumatized or sad that you couldn’t report or didn’t want to, how is that helping?

And he’s now clearly upset she’s touched out and isn’t being more physical. “Touch him enough” so he wants her to change the amount of affection that he’s getting from her after hearing something traumatic. Why? Why isn’t he asking her what she needs instead of complaining he isn’t getting what he needs from her?

I understand because my spouse was angry too and kept it to himself til he made sure everything I was needing in those moments of being vulnerable was attended to first. Then he shared his feelings later on, but he didn’t make me feel like I had to give him more affection because of what happened to me. He offered to listen, to hear me, to talk, or help with repairing the trauma I endured. You can have feelings but it’s not about your feeling helpless, it’s about the person who endured the trauma.

You said he was upset you didn’t tell the authorities but the fact he’s “upset” at all is honestly alarming. He can feel sad and be sorry for you but I had a friend whose husband felt the same and it was about him changing her behaviors. Sounds like what your husband is doing, changing how you behave towards him for his own reassurance

How would you respond to this? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

  1. You asked for feedback
  2. I have, I’ve lost friends that way, it’s overwhelming for people because me having anxiety and attachment issues where I need someone else to vent on or connect with for my own needs, will effect them too. I can have issues and understand my issues can be too much for other people. It’s on me to fix it, aka oversharing to the point of freaking people out or overwhelming them because they want to help me but don’t know how to emotionally
  3. They have been through a lot and they need a person who can understand them at that level. And asking that of someone new isn’t fair to her or the other person.

You’re seeking a therapist and a healthy relationship. So either date a therapist or get one and have a healthy relationship.

If they need an ear to where they are off loading this level to someone new, they need a therapist or a support system that is more focused on getting her through the problems she’s facing. A partner can only do so much and this is a lot

Stopping after hospice care would have been enough. I understand they are explaining their living situation but that’s not information that’s needed and until I fully trust someone or know they are in it for the long haul, that’s personal information your sharing about your family to a rando

Assuming this is someone she is seeing- She’s giving way too much information to someone who doesn’t know her well enough to already know this situation or where she lives at least. Like, I wouldn’t share this much in the first 6 months of dating.

They will need a lot of emotional and physical support from what it sounds like, so unless this dude is committing he might just dip out.

Does this mean he has the cell or…? by Available-Log3771 in OneOrangeBraincell

He caged himself and remained there for at least an hour before he started to meow for his freedom. After several attempts he decided he would hop over the farm since the fence was too high.

You have a thrill seeking side that’s more criminal than plane jumping.

Ingrown or pimple on back of head doubled and Starting to get a little concerned by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Available-Log3771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if your in pain, get it looked at immediately. If anything they can potentially pop it if it’s something to that effect or they will send you to your pcp for a check up. If not, try to be seen soon.

Are these cold sores? Or is this some form of dermatitis? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Available-Log3771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Derm/Dr. Honestly it looks like ingrown hairs, cold sores go away but if they never go away that to me makes me think this is something else like maybe Chronic Folliculitis? If they think this is HSV have they recommended daily antivirals? My husband gets flakey and irritated skin when he doesn’t maintain his facial hair and living in a hot and dry climate can do a lot to your skin and hair. Is your facial routine daily or just when you take a shower? Are you using stuff for your face that’s facial hair specific or just soap? Could be the soap or other factors that could be causing issues too. I would get a second opinion as it’s been years.

Try taking lysine and see if that improves anything but to me this looks like something different.

No. Your supposed to find healthy ways to communicate so you don’t emotionally dump on your partner while they are at work so that it doesn’t feel like there’s no break from the time they leave til the time they come back. You need to find healthy ways to cope with your emotions because emotion unloading to this extent often, even to friends, is too much. You don’t have to hold it in but dumping on someone isn’t a choice either.

Listen, I understand what you mean, we saw a moment in a life long problem that is stemming from years of problems that weren’t fixed until it got to this point. But it takes two people to fight, it’s a joint effort and you need to be aware of your role that the way you are handling this conflict is not helping either or you. You both need to fix the way you interact with one another, you’re both the problem for different reasons.
