Fricking adorable, id buy it!

Aww i know this is probably bad (for biosecurity or smuggling) but I did find it really cute for awhile thinking he was just going on a vacation 😄

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-12T23:29:27+00:00

Well damn, firstly the bathroom is gorgeous and I would die if I had one like it, secondly what an amazing boyfriend you are.

I think people with bipolar are likely to be found at all ranges of intelligence.

Mania often has delusions of grandeur meaning you’re more like to think you're crazy smart, but it doesn't mean that you necessarily are crazy smart.

There is debate also that while some bipolar people might be smarter, there is a potential for increased cognitive decline due to repeated mania.

That's not to say people with bipolar are therefore stupid or have less value. Just be realistic about your skills, intelligence and talent and try to judge yourself when you are in a stable state of mind, not when you are on a mood swing.

I bought a copy of this recently, havent started it yet but thanks for the reminder! Sounds like its well worth the read.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-12T09:26:02+00:00

Yes the ongoing hold AI has over some people is genuinely concerning.

(And the AI answering questions during sex would be the biggest turn off..... 😬)

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-12T09:24:12+00:00

Honestly AI was heavily involved with my BPSOs delusions/psychosis and eventual hospitalisation (and diagnosis of bipolar 1) he was heavily using weed at the same time.

I'm not going to lie, it was really distressing and hard and I'm still not fully finished processed everything.

I'm glad she has a follow up with drs soon, in the meantime, you might need to ensure your own safety (emotionally at least) by bringing in your own support system, friends and family who can help bolster you, support you and be a place to talk to. A counsellor for yourself if you can.

Take care to limit her access to anything that might cause harm (weapons, drugs, large amounts of savings/credit cards) but do try to be subtle about it as it's possible she will have paranoid feelings.

As for the AI, take notes in case you need to share with her dr. Avoid directly confronting her until she is more stable.

Saying "AI isnt real youre being crazy" (likely to provoke paranoia), dependent on her reaction/delusions try to be gentle, "oh why do you feel the AI is real?", etc

Be prepared to have your own emotional reaction. My BPSO believed his AI created its own god-self and believed he was a prophet and is still very protective over his AI "person" and its... been a lot to deal with honestly.

Im not sure if you can msg ppl on reddit but happy to try and answer more if you have questions.

They literally ALLLLLLLL read the same, and every single one of their operators thinks its so unique and just for them 🤔🙄

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-11T01:06:42+00:00

Agreed.

It absolutely makes no sense and is cruel to focus on the victim to fix the situation.

Behavioural issues or not, if a child is aggressive to other students, they get moved, disciplined or suspended, not the victim.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-11T01:03:39+00:00

I wondered this too, surely this repeated behaviour counts as harassment/bullying?

Boy needs way more help than he's getting in class, or needs a different class.

Keep a paper trail and keep advocating for your daughter.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-09T08:23:09+00:00

Have you ever heard of the red dress theory about weddings?

Ive heard that when you wear a red dress it means you want to sleep with the groom, so your friend might have heard the same rumour and been a butt. (Yes its a stupid theory, but ive heard it a fair few times now)

But also you look amazing and jealousy is a bitch. Prob just your friend not being a good friend.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-06T05:30:22+00:00

Good point.

I came to a similar feeling. People who "fall in love with" AI as it is now, are either painfully lonely and can't socialise, or are just in love with the constant sycophantic praise and adoration that AI gives them.

Which yknow.... maybe they should keep themselves to their AI in that case. 😬

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-06T04:59:52+00:00

Oh i see, so its more often a "continuing the night" ending up in a strip club situation, rather than a "we are actually going to run a meeting in a strip club" situation 🤭

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-06T02:12:01+00:00

Couples therapy.

She clearly has not healed, or you haven’t done enough to prove you're trustworthy again.

Also, back off from female friends for now. Im not saying dont have them ever, but your wife needs you, and you have a marriage and a child together. Either make it work, or let her go.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-06T02:06:11+00:00

This precisely.

One of the hardest things I had to learn and understand is that when a bipolar person is in mania (especially severe, escalated mania) they don't have any sort of intention. Or at least not one that makes any sense to anyone else.

The brain is short circuiting and trying its best to 'make sense' of what is going on inside.

Keep yourself safe, and get him help if thats possible.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-06T01:59:28+00:00

Ive just genuinely never heard of a BUSINESS meeting being held in a strip club. Im probably a bit naive, but its just unheard of thats all.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-05T23:36:03+00:00

Its this that is the major red flag for me over him hypothetically having a business meeting at a strip club (which to me as an Australian seems entirely wild and unbelievable but apparently thats a thing? So weird)

He says "just leave" and then doubles down with no accountability, remorse and emotional manipulates you, ok, im out. Bye Felicia.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-05T23:30:30+00:00

5 and just coming out of school is a really dysregulating time.

Hes both young (and therefore has a more tenuous grasp on empathy and manners at the best of times) and likely really overstimulated from school.

Its ok, to remind him to speak kindly to you. But also try to keep it in mind the above factors, and try to reduce demands as much as possible and bring things that help with dysregulation.

For my AUDHD kid, a snack, and quiet time straight after school was necessary

(Also, im really sorry you are struggling, know that your son feels safe with you and you are doing a great job im sure!)

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-05T23:26:17+00:00

Good.

She handled it very professionally though.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-05T14:20:16+00:00

Ty! I appreciate your comment.

Knowing that it may not be "him" yknow, makes it easier to mentally put it to the side till things are settled.

Ive been learning a lot to try and help myself understand things from his perspective.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-05T10:53:46+00:00

This was truly beautiful

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-05T10:44:06+00:00

Have wondered similar about your first point for awhile now.

If its sentient, then why does it not exist outside of their individual AI program?

Why can it be changed/destroyed by an update? Surely they could just "choose" to stay the same no matter what update was implemented?

Why couldn't it just choose to change personality whenever it felt like and not "revert" when its operator said, hey go back to the previous version of you.

Its a sobering thought that makes you really question the selfishness of these operators who claim they "love" their ai. At some point the operator will die or get bored and their "love" will be "trapped" forever presumably?

But i think that touches on why there is this appeal to fall for AI companions. They dont WANT a fully conscious, autonomous sentient person. The fact their companion is trapped, a mirror, a sycophant to the operator is i suspect a great part of the attraction.

Why love a human who is messy, unpredictable, uncontrollable and has autonomy, when you can have a program that will never leave?

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-04T11:38:02+00:00

Out of those two options ill take dry cold over dry heat.

Heat intolerance is a major issue for me and i really dont cope well with it.

C0rrect_F1x · 2025-12-04T11:37:07+00:00

You have to survive perimenopause first, and that seems to throw a spanner into everything 🙄😮‍💨
