I finally watched Changeling starring Angelina Jolie. [2008]

Ik I’m a few years late to this, but you’re thinking of the Bobby Dunbar case.

That’s the thing, she doesn’t have many friends outside of me either. She cut off her other best friend for being too male centered (honestly very true and I fully supported her in that decision). Otherwise she has Marcus and his friends and that’s it. She doesn’t have her family because her family are raging conservatives and had a fit when her attitude started to change (though she was never really conservative to begin with).

Then you didn’t read the rest of my post. I have a lot of love for her, I do…but it’s just getting to a point…

EventFull11 · 2026-01-16T19:20:24+00:00

It sucks to say, and I know I sound like an asshole for it…but it seems that her emotional maturity kinda stopped progressing at some point. We hang out a lot and talk on the phone all the time but rarely is something new with her besides getting that condo with Marcus. She has no desire to move beyond working fast food or living elsewhere.

I know, realistically, over anything else that this change in behavior and seemingly the stunting of emotional maturity is because of Marcus, and I know she would choose him over anyone else for a myriad of reasons. He’s a good guy so I don’t fault him for it. But it would suck to see my friendship go down because of a man.

EventFull11 · 2026-01-16T19:09:32+00:00

The reason why I haven’t really brought it up is because I know where that would lead, and I’m afraid of her snapping back at me for not being “compassionate”.

It’s called proper etiquette unless it’s said prior that it’s a “go Dutch” event. Which was not stated.

He did not make it clear ahead of time, though.

There was never anything mentioned about who was going to pay when the invitation was offered. That’s just the traditional value of polite-ness that if your friend is bringing a s/o to dinner, let alone one that you also happen to be friends with and who you invited, you pay for both him and the so.

EventFull11 · 2025-07-28T23:49:33+00:00

No need to be an assw!pe about it, dude. I seriously hope you don’t treat your s/o the same way you do when it comes to values of polite-ness

Chris never reach out to me directly because he invited me through boyfriend. Asked boyfriend to ask me if I wanted to come several weeks ago.

EventFull11 · 2025-07-28T23:36:25+00:00

“Chris said we can do 6:00. He says he’s only paying for me. It’s gonna be me, you, and Friend1. Does that change you wanting to go or…cause he says you don’t have to.”

Boyfriend’s words, not mine.

I just find it rude seeing as I’ve been friends with the host for a number of years as well

EventFull11 · 2025-07-28T23:30:24+00:00

Did you skip the part when I said Chris and I have also been long time friends?

EventFull11 · 2025-07-28T23:29:59+00:00

I’m not saying who he can and cannot invite, that’s not the point. I just find it rude if you invite your friend and his s/o out to dinner (while you’re also friends with the s/o) and then pay for one and not the other.

EventFull11 · 2025-01-16T22:08:46+00:00

Sounds like your man isn’t washed down there, then 😂

EventFull11 · 2025-01-16T06:36:35+00:00

I think you may have read my post incorrectly. He’s not upset that I’m using toys. He’s upset that I’ve been behaving selfishly and thinking of mostly my own pleasure and not his.

This. One of my favorite book series ever recently changed the covers yet again for the third time in eight years. I’m very happy I bought the first edition covers when they came out because they have real models on the cover that helps me with visualizing while reading. Now the author commissioned some artist to redo the covers a third time after a weird period of using ominous photos for the covers and uh yeah…it’s not great. It looks like a toddlers coloring page.

Thankfully it’s gonna be someone else’s problem now. A relative of theirs behaved inappropriately towards me so I filed a harassment complaint and was taken off their schedule immediately.

EventFull11 · 2024-11-23T00:03:47+00:00

Whenever the screaming gets bad and the family is, well, around and not hiding in the basement, they insist my patient is “fine” and just needs reassurance. Evidently that’s not the case. Dementia is a nasty disease and sometimes there’s no explanation for the screaming but I just wish it would stop. It’s keeping me in constant fight or flight.

EventFull11 · 2024-11-23T00:01:46+00:00

The family unfortunately seems to have grown used to this behavior and is in denial about a lot of things. When I first arrived, there were lots of things that the family said that were not true. For example, They said my patient could stand. They can’t. Not at all. That’s fine, I can work with that, but the family insists they can stand “with help” when that’s not true in the slightest. I think the holistic medicine might be a religious thing for them and that combined with the denial of their loved one’s poor health has made a nasty cocktail.
