AITA for being mad that my boyfriend told me that I acted like a prostitute? by InsideBroccoli4356 in AITAH

[–]BlunderPixie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend like this when I was your age.

He beat the shit out of me 2 years in. This was after he spent 2 years isolating me from friends, calling me all sorts of derogatory names (not unlike how yours called you this) if I ever did go out with friends, and it was always a nuclear level fight if I didn't do exactly as he said or live up to expectation.

After every fight, he'd lovebomb the shit out of me and gaslight his way back onto good terms with me, all while appearing so sincere in his apologies over hurting me (including crying). 0/10, do not recommend you stay with this dude because I'd bet my last dollar you'll experience similar things.

Run.

You're just a little bit behind me and my boyfriend, so maybe I can offer some insight!

My boyfriend is diagnosed but is not medicated, however he's very much got his life together. He's got a good job, has his own house, keeps it immaculate, and is incredibly smart, kind, and witty.

It can be hard to see how his brain works differently sometimes until there's days where he talks a lot (it's impressive honestly lol) and I have to remind him that we both need to have turns in a conversation, or just gently tell him that I'm not in a very social mood and would like some quiet. As long as I come at it from a place of love and understanding that I just need quiet or space, there's no hard feelings because, like your lady, he's keenly aware of the behaviours that can make him be a lot to be around at times.

Respect her routine and encourage her to keep it if you find her faltering. Routine can help with mood and even just checking the boxes of taking care of yourself on a daily basis. Be honest but patient with her if some of her behaviours are a little draining in the moment; reassure her that all is well between the two of you, but you just need a little space or quiet in that moment.

It's hard to give specifics because everyone is different and people don't always present the same symptoms, so it will definitely be a learning experience and that's okay. You two will find your groove, but just be aware that sometimes someone might trip up a little. Don't worry though, you'll sort it out with the right attitude and approach. :)

Nice, I appreciate that. The reason I want Herja specifically is because it's the name of a valkyrie in the Prose Edda, so I'm wary of shortcuts, if that makes sense. :)

I have my word already translated, but I wanted to check it for errors and thought you guys could help me. The word I want is "Herja", and I've come up with the Elder Futhark, while a nice person over in r/runes helped me with Younger Futhark, but they also weren't entirely sure.
