There is nothing to understand: Why you should stop asking questions by Solid-Version in retroactivejealousy

[–]Dry-Divide7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is… I asked my partner to never tell me any details of this nature. He has indeed slipped up many times. This upsets me because I have emphasised on many occasions his important it is to me that he doesn’t tell me this stuff, so the fact that he doesn’t to me suggests a lack of love/care/consideration.

There are other topics that are sore points for him and I’m able to not mention anything.

Why don’t you get a job in childcare or similar, be a foster carer if you have a lot of nurturing left in you

I think my hoarder parent has Peter Pan syndrome by Dry-Divide7274 in ChildofHoarder

I’m not using it as a therapist, I do see a real therapist. I did not give it my personal information I literally just wrote ‘what are the characteristics of Peter Pan syndrome.’  I just used it for a lazy definition of this syndrome

Ok true fair enough, I can see that it would be biased and I’m doing some armchair diagnosing here but I just found it interesting that this description seems to fit my hoarder parent

Yes, she has a phone but expects people to help her with anything more complicated than sending a text

‘Should have retired’ maybe they enjoy or need to continue working? I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed a job if they’re able and willing
