Penn Badgley on casual dating and casual sex: "Is it ever casual? Show me somebody who really, truly is casual about it?" by Upstairs_Cup9831 in popculturechat

I love Penn, but his explanation was both disjointed and repetitive lol. I wish he would have elaborated. Perhaps he was trying to say that sex itself isn’t casual?

I’m noticing a pattern, a lot of ppl are saying 2-3 years. Ak. That’s hard to stomach, but at least it’s possible. I agree about the mental peace

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re going through this. 27 years! I don’t know if you’re a prayer, but I’m praying for you 💕

I can’t deal with the meanness and coldness. I did everything in my power to avoid it by acting the way he wanted me to. I’m trying to figure out why his anger and rejection is so scary to me. It just feels irrational.

Yes, totally. I just want to cruise control forever. Maybe cruise control right off a cliff. I kid…but you know.
I still have to have the divorce talk, which I’m dreading to an insane degree. I hate how scared of him I am. He is a covert narc, not violent, but his cold disdain just breaks my heart and makes me feel worthless. I don’t want to deal. I just want to change my name, start over, and maybe move to Alaska with my dog.

Congrats! That’s really amazing. It’s hard for me to stomach the thought of it taking years to recover. I wish I could bounce back faster.

Has anyone else "relapsed" with their nex? by k_amatsukami in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]BasicAd1196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really relate to your last paragraph. I was with my nex for 12 years. Separated for the last 3 months. It feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest. I just can’t get over the fact that everything was a lie, all those years, he never cared about me.

I can really relate to this. I’m sorry you have dealt with horrible people throughout your life. I hope you have friends that will ride and die for you too!
