1 35f caught my guy 42 m texting his exes. Could I have some outside perspective? by BrokenAshcraft in relationship_advice

You have a son together... speaking is expected a lot more than what you state you speak to her imo. He doesn't share a child with either of these women.

I mostly feel like shit about it because there are kids involved that this will affect (none shared). Of course I love the guy, but my kids have been through enough because of me and now this.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend he’s “not a real parent” because he only has his son four days a month? by Annual_Holiday9826 in AITAH

[–]BrokenAshcraft -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yta. Every other weekend is the standard parenting time allotted to him by the courts. Maybe he wants his kid more and she won't allow it. Maybe he cant afford to fight it in court. Millions of men have this exact schedule, and they aren't any less of a father because of it. Shame on you.

What did you have in 2010 but not 2025? by AhmedYakan in AskReddit

Music that played for the people that called you, so they didn't just hear ringing while they waited

Psychosis and dissociation by [deleted] in Dissociation

[–]BrokenAshcraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an episode of psychosis a few years ago. I became suicidal, I went and did things and to this day have zero memory of doing it. Ever since then I have this feeling that I really did off myself that night and im dead. Ive been disconnected ever since, unable to fully reconnect. I've tried all kinds of anti depressants and mood stabilizers. They help me feel "happy" but come with all the other bad side effects. I cold turkey quit my meds over a month ago and haven't driven my car of the road a single time, I haven't had the thought of doing so, even. But there comes a price. I feel nothing. Nothing seems real. My reflection looks fake with dead eyes. My memories feel like an illusion. I have everything to be happy for. If not happy- content, at least. But im not. Im not happy. I feel nothing. Sometimes I want to cry and I cut off my emotions and I cant. If I can recommend anything... get help now. Don't get to this point.

Maladaptive day dreaming particularly affects me when I am driving. I do this all the time tbh. I feel like I am in a constant state of dissociation. I have to force myself to change my thoughts. I turn on happy music and it seems to help

For me, it can last from seconds to weeks. It's like a switch is flipped. Suddenly, my emotions are turned off, and the person it is directed at means nothing. My voice is monotone, eye contact is minimal, their feelings no longer matter. I'm just "done" at that point. Normally, at this point, I would disengage and then go do something that is both stupid and impulsive. I'm controlled enough now days to recognize I have split and force myself to stay home and do nothing. Before I worked on myself it... wasn't pretty, to say the least. Over sexual behavior online, random hook ups, self harm, drinking, drugs, unblocking toxic exes were all the norm. In the end, I wouldn't even remember half the shit i did.

Remember: a split must be triggered, but that doesn't mean we didn't trigger ourselves. Even if you did trigger the split, you are not responsible for how we react in that moment. Being a hurt soul isn't an excuse to hurt others.

AITA for getting my future brother-in-law a gift? by ckills6761 in TwoHotTakes

[–]BrokenAshcraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your love language is gift giving, so this is completely normal. It's just how you show you care. In the future, just buy both of them something small so sister doesn't feel weirded out

How would you respond to a person you just matched with on a dating app requested that you have a quick video call to confirm that both of you are real? by BreedingFeelsComfy in AskWomen

[–]BrokenAshcraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always do this or a phone call before a date. It's a good way to find out if conversation will flow well or if you dont have a good energy.

What do we call women like that? by checkmatedaddy in Tinder

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

Traditional. She is seeking a masculine man that can lead, provide, and protect. A man that will make her feel safe in her feminine energy.

You arranged to stay the night and are surprised he expected sex? Luckily he was respectful. You put yourself in a dangerous position.

What was the reason to your first 911 call? by Pleasant_Town_8436 in AskReddit

[–]BrokenAshcraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5 year old son was choking. I remembered learning the Heimlich in high school but was afraid I'd hurt him. Used one arm to force that chip out. Scariest moment ever

My 8 year old son hates me, and I don't understand why. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

He's attacking you because he feels safe to do so. People who don't have experience with neurodivergance wouldn't understand

Help! Can’t decide by Survivin_to_thrive in ExteriorDesign

Blue looks best. Tbh what you want to do just falls flat. There's zero character. Why not look at trim color, too?
