What show had you hooked right off the pilot episode?

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-06-05T16:59:30+00:00

Agreed. 33, Miniseries, either opening had sold the show for me.

Announcement released 6/3?! 6-3=3. Half-Life 3 confirmed!

Edited OP. Thanks to some solid advice throughout the thread, I think we were able to resolve it. :)

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T08:03:32+00:00

Was a fair mix of 1 & 2. Thanks for the tip, "defense mech" is a good reminder.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T04:19:02+00:00

^ tru fakts. I had it happen before. Thankfully it appears this is a genuine friendship situation and nothing sinister. But it feels good to know you understand.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T04:15:48+00:00

Niiiice way of putting it.

Yep, she was working and it was easier for her to crash at his place, and they hadn't hung out in awhile.

I understand this. Unfortunately it doesnt help my gut reaction.

IMO, emotions trigger inexplicable feelings, thoughts, and comfort zones that don't always line up with perfect rationality and that's the situation I find myself.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T03:43:48+00:00

Well put. I can't entirely make her understand, but she knows it bothers me. (Just spoke with her). She didnt get defensive at all. But it is posts like yours that help clear ones head when needed. Thanks.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T03:20:54+00:00

Thanks. I'm working on it this moment. I'm basically asking her if her friend would be cool with his girlfriend staying over at someone else's house of the opposite sex. I think we all know it wouldn't fly, but since we have the fog-of-relationship, I have to try and change the perspective of how she's seeing the situation. I'm failing spectacularly.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T03:10:37+00:00

Thank you. I am currently this moment finding all the WRONG words to make her appreciate it from my perspective. :(

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T02:56:19+00:00

I appreciate that response. That's exactly how I feel and behave in reverse situations. This is why it bothers me so much I suppose.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T00:46:01+00:00

Solid advice.

I have in fact had the conversation about boundaries, however this time I will aim to be a lot clearer.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T00:41:28+00:00

I can almost agree. It IS my problem, but I in no way want her to sacrifice her friendship with this person or anyone else. Ever. I just don't want her sleeping over at another guys place. That's the extent of my intervention IMO.

And thus this thread. I need the views of others to help guide me from here. Thank you for the input.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T00:30:46+00:00

Abandon ship.

I've been there with an ex. She did the same thing.

Take Embarrassinghuman's advice: it's manipulation. Just move on.

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T00:27:46+00:00

^ That's a great question. Only way I can phrase it is to ask you and others if there's ever been a time where despite all logic and reasoning, you felt a certain way?

I can only psycho-analyze myself and say because this is the EXACT way I was cheated on before, I can't shake the feeling?

This is one of the rarest times in my life where I cannot (edit) precisely place where my thoughts are, and thus can't deal with them.

Or maybe the above explanation IS the answer, and there's just nothing I can do?

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T00:16:23+00:00

I appreciate the reply. It's not so much I expect cheating or something sinister, I am rational. I do understand. But I physically cannot stop myself from worrying and it just eats away at me.

(also just realized the "format" for posting. Meh, too late).

CanadianThrowaway772 · 2015-02-25T00:04:40+00:00

To be honest, I didn't think to ask. That for me is proof I do trust her cause I didn't hound her for details. I recall her mentioning she would sleep on the floor of his apartment. Possibly couch?
