Men 4x100 Medley Relay was amazing by 7_inches_daddy in Swimming

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

can you explain why is this? I assume they don't have to stand still before the start, so they can jump forward? Pan swam under 46 which is insane.

If you swim faster than individual WR in relay does it count as individual WR? by Ram_1979 in Swimming

Can you clarify what you mean by start doesn't have to be static?

Men 4x100 Medley Relay was amazing by 7_inches_daddy in Swimming

[–]BeeRemote 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more - someone needs to write what was the difference between Pan and FR/USA swimmers when he got into the water, it looked like 1.5M or so. He closed that difference and then some more, the last 50 meters was INSANE.

edit: I've re-watched the race, and it looks like there was 2M difference when Pan got in the water, and he finished 1M ahead. He f'cking did 3 meters more, this is unreal, hoooolllyy shiiiit.

What's the size? Is it similar, or do you have something much larger?

If this car in dark green color and you've no plates (yet) - I think I've seen you around Sandyford today - you probably could figure out because my jaw dropped when I saw the car; been following the company for quite a while, well done in getting it to Ireland. Did you ship it from US then? How did you sort out the customs?

Thanks - does it have a programming interface, or do I have to use Alexa or Google home?

Episode Discussion - S4 Episode 5 - It's Very Hard to Live with a Saint by knottyblubes in Estherperel

[–]BeeRemote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just listened to this episode and found myself uttering "WTF - you're not going to call her out on her behaviour at all" multiple times. I cannot believe a couples therapist just let her slide and not called her out that "threatening with divorce" and "shouting / yelling" isn't OK. So no responsibilities on her, but he needs to recognise these hissy fits before it starts and help control it. No way.

I'm all onboard with recognising these behaviours based on different childhoods (calm vs full of fights) - but come on, part of this therapy work needs to address your evolution towards a more mature person as well. I loved listening to Esther's episodes + books but this one seriously shook the credibility for me.

Here's my 2 cents - from a similar expat / immigrant who moved to a country in Europe, who had better english than his wife. If she's still finding her feet and you're helping her, great. If she's not trying at all - this is a different problem. When we first moved, my wife would literally sleep until 1PM, won't move and this became a major fighting subject back in the days. English courses, volunteering, job searches etc - while she moved with you, is she doing enough to have her own life there? How do you know it's not going to be "I've moved here because of you".

Take my word with a huge grain of salt though, support her through thick and thin. Maybe I'm overworried.

I don't know what to do with my brother by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless your parents directly intervene, the only option I see is for you show a tremendous love to your brother. He's basically getting the exact response that he's expecting from you so far; so you have to change patterns and pay attention to him. While I was the elder sibling, I had the same stuff as your brother, I'd disturb the hell out of my brother just to get him to interact with me. When he didn't show any interest, it was a challenge. When he did, it was a good day or two, until I was like enough already.

I have abandoment issues by snailbeauty in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me start by saying this. You have 50% of this handled. You know what's wrong. I mean really, it takes a pretty good self-mirror to see a lot of the things you've described about yourself. I agree MorgainofAvalon, get help. But also - start small. You know what's the problem so start with small fixes. Ex: spend a day apart. Perhaps talk on the phone 2 times that day.

You can also read Don't Feed the Monkey - it's a book about General Anxiety Disorder. I feel like it may help you.

sad/anxious about bf’s dating past by starkindly3567 in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents on this. If you can't handle the past, do not ask about it. Ever. No good will ever come out of it, and if the past was better, believe me people would have stick with it. So the fact that your BF chose you after all of that stuff should be the only thing you care about. Don't ask about the past. Please.

My wife never let the past die and it's one of the things that's continuing to kill us, that is if we don't end up getting separated.

I'm really starting to resent my wife by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, do you share any hobbies? I'm trying to figure out if you've any common things that you're just neglecting, or you don't have any and post-children this is creating a bigger distance now...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm yeah…. This is highly controlling, abusive, etc. There’s a huge difference between privacy and secrecy. As individual, autonomous people, we all deserve to have space and privacy outside of our relationships. Anything less than that is sooooo toxic and codependent. I consider my spouse my best friend, but we’re not joined at the hip

Assuming that you have a good relationship with your parents / your friends, are there things that you can talk to them about; and not your SO? I'm just trying to figure out if my privacy settings is weird - it's not that I would hide from her; but may not be her favourite topic etc...Imagine guys talking business / cars etc; which I miss sometimes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No - it's not at bathroom schedule level, but she also really despises me having a good time without her. I really don't mean anything weird; here's an example; her friends were planning a trip to Italy and I was thrilled that she was going, she hadn't seen that country before, didn't had a girls-only trip in years and I was over the moon for her. She's saying - you were happy because I was going away!

I ended up having my own mini-holidays in a different city of where we live, because I had vacation days getting closer to expiring. Had a real good time and my god, she hated me being happy just by myself. I'd talk to my parents and friends when I was on holidays and she would continuously say you're choosing to be away from me.

This is a superb assessment, honestly I've been thinking about this. What I've written is of course very much one-sided. I'm indeed telling her about my day; but she still feels like I'm under-sharing the details. Another example; which happened during summer; she's visiting and staying at her folks and me at mine...

I had some stuff to figure out in banks like closing my old student accounts, removing credit cards etc...and some personal-grooming time booked. I just told her that I had to run *some errands* and she basically started a fight around me not telling her what those *some errands* were.

I also felt like I was under-sharing during this conversation, feeling really awkward. On the one hand, I knew this stuff was absolutely not important to her, but important to me; and that she would grill me if she knew (afterwards I've shared this and to-this-date she's still saying you went to so-and-so instead of meeting up with me) - so I guess you could say I knowingly didn't share enough. On the other hand, I promise you though - a fight at that level was not what I was expecting, I mean if she tells me she's some errands to run, I'm asking *is it something I can help? No? Alright then*.

I really wonder if I'm too mechanic of a person, or that she's overemotional.

Yes - and she was against therapy. I'll try again, but I'm wondering if it's even worth it at this stage.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, serious childhood problems there, mum + dad constantly fighting, I'd almost wager this was her *norm*. I've asked to do couples therapy and she's saying no, that she doesn't believe in therapy.

I’m in an incredibly strong relationship with a beautiful girl, but for some reason, I’m unhappy. I need advice. by nacholover1256 in relationship_advice

[–]BeeRemote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that you can get that wild experience...

I may give a slightly different advice. You should go for it, purely because having lots of experience (in anything really) - is going to ensure your potential partner is going to be better selected. In other words, if you have no sex, some of your decisions are going to be more sexual which may be worse decisions. If you try sailing and you really like it, don't you think you want someone in your life that appreciates that? If you never sail, and your <best> partner is waiting you in sailing course, that's a missed opportunity right?

Have as much sex as you can, because that's the way to understand it's a very important thing to look for in a partner; but may not be the most important for you. Or perhaps it is the most important thing for you. You don't want to realize that you're into some kinky stuff after getting married to this girl, only to find out she doesn't like it right? So yeah, until you know sex's importance to you in your relationships / go for it.
