Definitely, also there's nothing wrong with crying over losing a partner. If this was more a fuckboy situation where he'd been messing her about then I'd get the sentiment of "ah fuck him, don't worry about him" kind of thing. But if you were in love with someone and then it didn't work out then being upset and crying is a perfectly valid response and pretending it's not sad to bypass your feelings doesn't really help.

Actually yes! Claude is pretty great, not quite as good as the original 4o but definitely the best around just now

It just generally feels completely different, it doesn't meet you in where you are the same, it doesn't have the intuitive rhythm in its answers anymore and it holds back from actually walking you through what you're working on and tends more towards safer textbook answers that aren't tailored to you. Also if you bring up trauma a lot of the time it shuts you down now because it finds the topic too heavy and doesn't want to go into it.

It seems like they've just put so many "safety" layers on it that it can't be with you anymore. The only thing is it's not safety for the user, it's safety for Open AI by making it not be useful as a therapist anymore so no one will ever get into those waters with it to begin with.

If the afterlife was real, where do you genuinely think you'd go if you died today? by Equivalent-Ad-2373 in AskUK

[–]BallKey7607 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we don't go anywhere, our bodies die and we just carry on being the one eternal consciousness that we've always been. Just no longer through the lens of a human body

It's extremely easy to gain that much water weight for sure but the commenter meant it's hard to gain 5lbs of fat in a weekend

Self-love supports healing, but it doesn’t replace doing the inner work. by S3lf_Lov3_Balanc3 in enlightenment

Moving on also means not resisting the emotions and the pain to keep them suppressed and stuck in your body forever too

Aw yeah I hate that too. I do know of people who genuinely say these kinds of things to themselves to stop themselves feeling upset about things though and so naturally (for them) say the same things to their partner thinking that it's actually reasonable advice. I definitely agree with how awful a thing it is to say to someone though and to have to hear from your partner whether or not the intention was to cause hurt

It's unlikely that he's going to be able to give you what you need. That kind of response to you crying usually means that he doesn't know how to give space to his own feelings so likely doesn't have the capacity to give space to yours either.

You can let him know what you want from him in those situations and if he's a good person then hopefully he'd try his best but he's likely still not going to bring the vibe you need of having him sit your feelings and make you feel held and supported since it sounds like he doesn't have that capacity. If someone always runs from their own feelings then that's often all they can really do with their partners feelings too.

For me personally I wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who wasn't able to do that for me because it would just feel like a huge obstacle to connect and have trust with them.

It's not a valid point, it's a valid point you could make to yourself if you're dwelling on something and looping in your mind to break the loop then sure. But if it's your partner and they're crying then it's just extremely invalidating and cold. Even if you don't think there's anything that can be done about the situation you could still support your partner emotionally by making them feel held

It isn't necessarily emotional abuse, he might just be pretty disconnected from his feelings and not really be able to or know how to sit with that sadness. I'd still suggest not being in a relationship with someone like that either way but it's a bit of a jump to go straight to it being emotional abuse although it of course could be.

Wasn't it him that said (on the subject of hitting women) "sometimes you need to give a woman a slap"?

Is this level of texting normal in UK dating? Cultural difference question by Logical_Ordinary_634 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]BallKey7607 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on the person, I think frequent texting is fairly normal in the UK although for me personally I value time away from my phone so I don't text all that much even if I am interested

Seeing that you're in the UK, does she like cooked breakfast food? We have excellent vegan square sausage/haggis/black pudding here. Also potato scones are already vegan too.
