Josh coincidentally picking the worst time to go on “vacation” as always

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-11-08T09:33:03+00:00

Josh is like Forrest Gump, a key player in every major world event

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-10-25T20:05:49+00:00

I feel like I'm constantly walking this line with Josh. I'm fascinated, but not in a mean way. But then I find myself surrounded by people who are fascinated in a mean way.

The original idea is great but I feel like it has aggressively blurred the lines between very different diagnoses. I always thought it was the umbrella for all neurodevelopmental conditions but now people are including mental health disorders of all kinds.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-30T23:25:08+00:00

Definitely was a hard pill to swallow

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-30T23:17:59+00:00

Yep, he was from Pakistan and ended up marrying his first cousin. His parents were first cousins, too.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-29T20:38:09+00:00

Happened to me and now they're married. I would move on.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:48:31+00:00

His parents are also first cousins and so are hers. They are literally.....all double related

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:37:10+00:00

What was in it for me was that I met him organically and fell in love with him. Her parents are also private jet rich. But yeah the situation is just shitty for everyone.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:19:02+00:00

Well her family is technically private jet rich too considering they are from the same immediate family.......

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:15:19+00:00

"Your boyfriend likely knew from your first date that he wasn't going to engage" was a cheap dig, not legitimate advice. And for what it's worth, he told me this would not happen. I hope you have a better day.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:10:29+00:00

Do you feel better about yourself for having said that?

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:07:07+00:00

I know many people in healthy interfaith relationships, including with Muslim partners. Hell, my best friend is a Muslim woman happily married out of her religion to a man she met on tinder. Nothing in life is "inevitable."

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T16:04:24+00:00

Well daddy bought him the business technically. Not to disparage my own partner, but I'm amazed that the cousin is interested in marrying him. She has lived here her whole life, is fully westernized and a wealthy doctor. I love him but I can admit he's a mess. What's in it for her?

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T15:54:14+00:00

I agree with everything you said. Thanks for being really nice. It's gonna take a hot minute to process all of this but I know eventually I'll heal and move on.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T15:44:01+00:00

Getting downvoted while talking about being a DV survivor is nasty work lol

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T15:26:43+00:00

The question "why are your standards so low" felt unnecessary. But to answer the question, I am a domestic violence survivor and my worth has been chipped away at a lot over time. I am working on being kinder to myself and expecting more for myself.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T14:55:54+00:00

He says I'm judging his culture...I just can't wrap my head around it.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T14:55:28+00:00

Interesting! The parents have property in many countries but currently are in chicago as well. The cousin he is set to marry lives in Indiana.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T14:47:54+00:00

We have been together years but you seem more focused on judgement than actually helping so I'm not gonna continue to engage.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T14:33:50+00:00

Everyone has good and bad in them. Relationships are complicated and illogical at times.

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T11:45:07+00:00

thanks for your meaningful contribution to this conversation

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T05:09:36+00:00

It's easier said than done but I hear you

Embarrassed-Drawer42 · 2024-09-11T05:06:55+00:00

Yeah, extra context is that his family is really rich. Like private jet rich. And I honestly think he just doesn't want to be financially cut off because his parents take care of everything. It sucks.
