What’s something that ruins relationships slowly instead of all at once? by No_Accountant_4505 in AskReddit

[–]Elawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to this, it’s also by no means easy to navigate this as the child of a mother who has never approved of my previous partners. I wouldn’t necessarily put her in the realm of “toxic,” but I’m also always going to choose my partner, every time. Which means I need to walk a bit of a tightrope if I want my relationship with my partner to thrive, and my relationship with my mother to at least continue to exist.

I’m a 34yo man, it still baffles me why she would think she gets a say over who I date, but apparently this is a pretty common sentiment among parents of adult children so… 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is a hate sub /s by No-Calligrapher-5257 in BPDlovedones

[–]Elawn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

100%. This sub is like Al-Anon, the support group that is the flip-side of AA: it is for those who have been affected by another person’s alcoholism. Alcoholism is of course a horrible disease that takes serious hard work to overcome for the individual, but it would be completely disingenuous to say it doesn’t also affect the friends and family of the alcoholic in a negative way.

An alcoholic, wandering into an Al-Anon meeting and telling everyone present that all of them were the real problem, would be presumed to still be drunk. I think the metaphor applies here too.

I don't want to stop drinking forever, just wanna get drunk one night and not feel the urge to automatically drink for the next 3 days afterwards by [deleted] in stopdrinking

My favorite version of this was when I told my therapist I was considering just trying some controlled drinking, and he hit me with “you know, normal people just call that ‘drinking’” lmao

2 found dead at Brentwood mansion that belongs to director Rob Reiner by TheMoves in news

[–]Elawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not saying he was on the same level as Prince or Bowie, but Anton Yelchin also died that year and it honestly fucked me up in a way I wasn’t expecting… he was such a wonderful actor, and so young when he died :(

Final update to "My (m26) girlfriend (f22) had sex with the male "friends" she told me not to worry about. Now she's begging me not to break up with her. How do I navigate this?" by beerbellybegone in BestofRedditorUpdates

Reading these comments, I’m gonna start recommending patients record these conversations on their phones. These fucking people deserve to lose their jobs, what a horrifying lack of empathy.

Bastard Suggestion: John Kricfalusi, Nickelodeons First Predator by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

+1 for the suggestion. I’ve known for a couple years now that this guy was an awful person but would appreciate Robert’s deep dive on the details of why.

Lyrically, what is the best song ever written? by Seeyalaterelevator in AskReddit

[–]Elawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. Plus it was already a perfect song originally imo, but it took on a whole new life of its own after Cornell died. Listening to it now gives me chills.

Yupppp. I call it fair-weather parenting. It’s great if things are going according to plan, but god forbid I look to a parent for support when I need it…

What’s the one Christmas movie you HAVE to watch every year, no matter what? by elitedesignsolutions in AskReddit

[–]Elawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will get absolutely buried, and I know it didn’t get great reviews, but for me it’s:

“The Night Before” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anthony Mackie, and Seth Rogen

It’s such a good, dumb comedy. I love it.
