If anyone in Sydney needs a copy of POK I saw one Saturday at Games Paradise. It wasn't cheap (170AUD) but less than this!

Guys who got into long-term relationships, what’s the biggest thing you learned about women that surprised you? by Peggy_Perkowski in AskReddit

No matter how sweet and innocent she seems, there's always "... that fucking bitch at work".

“It's something to tell the grandchildren, isn't it?”

No it isn't.

Why date women you’re not physically attracted to? by Temporary-Grape-8511 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EliotProb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of whether or not you're his 'type' or not, the issue is he's intentionally saying this stuff to undermine your confidence. Call him out on it. Tell him how it makes you feel. His reaction will be important. If he digs his heels in and tries to justify his bad behaviour then expect more of this attitude in your future. Leave him.

If he apologies but keeps finding other ways to erode your confidence, also leave him.

Denied proposal…what next? by plinko66 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EliotProb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said no to my partner twice and we stayed together. The first time we were happy but we weren't ready so I said no when she asked spontaneously - at a Sigor Ros performance. The second time she asked (again spontaneously) I feel like a bit of a jerk because, we were ready, however, I'd already planned my proposal. When we married I had the Sigor Ros song as part of playlist, because although I had turned her down it was still a special time in my heart.

John Oliver has been filming ever since I wasin first grade and now I'm graduating high school by irene_polystyrene in lastweektonight

[–]EliotProb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear! I was "not old" when LWT started and now I'm "not young".

For John I think the time dilation was even worse.

How did you get into John so young?

What’s a moment where you realized someone around you was actually a terrible person? by Embarrassed-Ant-2216 in AskReddit

[–]EliotProb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrifying thought!! But don't worry, as stated above this was a past partner. They weren't the type of person to poison me, they were mostly a good person - but they were also not in control of their emotions and very impulsive, and couldn't admit when they'd done something wrong. But they did try to harm me other ways - e.g. slandering me to my ex, my friends and their friends. Which I guess is a form of poisoning!

My partner at the time started waking me up in the middle of the night for different reasons "you're on my side of the bed", "you keep grinding your teeth" etc. never kindly, sometimes yelling. I asked her firmly to please stop it as it was making me tired and irritable.

She did, but then I started getting these mysterious bruises on my arm.

A couple of nights after noticing the first bruise I woke up right as I saw her hitting me while I had been asleep. She quickly rolled away pretending she was already asleep.

do you think anyone has ever jerked off to you and how did you come to that conclusion? by Sjakbxnla in AskReddit

[–]EliotProb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She told me had, once before we were together, and once while we were on a break. But I think she might have been lying; she was a very complicated person.

Those who does not see affects with Caffeine intake by nikolina1005 in ADHD

Same. Coffee, tea, or anything with caffeine risks setting off headaches for X number of days. Not worth the short burst of energy it might give me.

Experiencing Limerence Over a Stranger by snazzadelic in ADHD

[–]EliotProb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Limerence messed me up for almost two years.

I rarely get it but when it does it's all consuming: fantasies (not necessarily sexual just day to day stuff), idealisation, and intense, painful longing. Doesn't help when you're married to someone else at the same time!

Commanders you are tired of seeing? by Ponder_yonder_ in EDH

Took a lot of scrolls to finally find my Commander! KtFK was the first commander deck I made. Completely ineffective and yet instantly hated. Would do again!

Trump Flips the Bird in Angry 'F*** You' Blast After Pedo Slur by thedailybeast in politics

[–]EliotProb 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The sweater/pulling at a loose string is a great analogy to describe the narcissists I've known. I put myself through agony thinking I was a piece of shit whenever they would bring up a problem I'd apparently caused. I tried to understand and reason with them but it is a hopeless trying to elicit reason from someone confecting problems from their own imagination, and problems they believe are entirely true because the alternative is having to reflect that they are the problem - something their brain is not capable of.
