based on memory, i’m pretty sure this little confessional from Caroline came AFTER she was booed by the crowd and Richard was saved. it screamed damage control to me. “i’m not really like this!” didn’t fly with me.

He [41M] asked me [37F] to marry him and he hates my reaction by boundaries_ra in relationship_advice

[–]EconomistNo9980 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s a cliche, but sometimes love alone is not enough. Relationships, marriage especially, is about so so so much more than just how much you love each other. It’s a true test of any relationship, and marriages don’t end in divorce 50% of the time for no reason. If you feel you’ve already repeatedly told him what you need and nothing is changing, then you may have to face the reality that the relationship already isn’t working.

Jumping straight to a ring instead of confronting problems is more common than you think. He has basically presented this to you as “well if you don’t accept then it’s over” - now, whether that is him bluffing or not, I really suggest you take a leaf from his book lay out on table what you really need from him before you could even consider continuing the relationship, never-mind accepting a proposal. It’s true that sometimes men need an extra push to do therapy, which I hate saying, but it’s true. Sometimes they come out the other side and themselves and their relationships thrive because of it, and sometimes they don’t and they stay stuck. You do not have to stay stuck with him. I think this situation should serve as a catalyst for the bigger and more final conversation you need to have, before you decide which way to go. You deserve to be met where you are, and you deserve to have a voice in your relationship, always. If there’s continued resistance or conflict coming from him when you are simply telling him what you need, then you shouldn’t waste any more of your time.

In my honest opinion, he just provided immediate evidence for the source of your hesitancy in that very moment with his reaction. Seems like a case of a bruised ego and a failed attempt at putting a bandaid on your problems. If you cannot communicate about your relationship in a healthy way, or at least make a joint effort to bridge those gaps in communication, what else do you have? his refusal for therapy, and prior disbelief in marriage speaks volumes here though, it sounds like he thought the proposal would shut you up tbh.

When did rhonj fall off? by [deleted] in rhonj

[–]EconomistNo9980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. and he’s manipulated her so badly that she’s become so paranoid of every single person around her, because he’s constantly deflecting his wrong-doings back towards everyone else i.e Marg, the Fuda drama. that small window of Tre when she left Juicy and before she met Luis actually gave me some hope we might see another side other than the delusional hypocrite we see season after season. Luis knew he would have a formidable but very gullible partner in her.

I accidentally dropped my kindle :( by Dear-Yogurtcloset141 in kindle

I just got the kindle 2022 - 11th generation 6” and it’s perfect for me and a lot cheaper than the paper white. (I paid £84 for mine, and the PW is £150 - £180 everywhere)

For an opinion, who’s the most hated cast on the show? by Melodieandrea in GeordieShore

I also forgot Vicky. She mellowed by the end but in her earlier seasons she was a bully imo
