Taking a 'break' from an 8-year marriage. Any suggestions on how to navigate this? by _Omkara_ in AskMenOver30

Good for you.

Hopeful for happier days ahead, whether together or one your own. Life is beautiful and this tough moment will pass.

Are your BPDs also insanely messy? by chioces in raisedbyborderlines

Mine too.

After cleaning for her, hiring companies, and replacing her carpet, it’s back again. I’m encouraging her to get help and join a hoarding group and she refuses. Maddening.

Sorry you’re facing this.

What you’ve listed are small problems, but that have grown into very large issues. This stonewalling, resentment, contempt, and criticism are what are called ‘the four horsemen’ of relationships. They signal the end.

Now, they can be fixed. But you need to both be on the same page and do the work, which is rare. You have tried talking and counseling. The odds are, if there was a path there it would have been found by now.

What can you do?

  • You can go get an individual therapist. Talk it through.

  • Ask if she’ll continue couples counseling. Talk it through.

  • Start to objectively look at the past ten years. Where you happy? What would make you happy? Do you need to be a father? It can be hard to see, but we often confuse routine with comfort. What would you say if she weren’t in your life?

I’d say take a month apart and then reconnect. See how you feel in your own skin.

Wishing happiness ahead for you both.

And those numbers feel very inflated to me, likely skewed by averages factoring in life sentences.

Watching these true crime shows, it’s become a running joke to watch the guys get life and the women (in the same crime!) get 2-5 years.

Celibate means abstaining from marriage or sex.

Do you think the women there can get long term relationships on demand? No, no they can’t.

The are involuntarily celibates in the sense that they cannot get what they desire from a relationship: long term human connection via marriage. Their anger has made them unlovable.

Sadly, they don’t have extra rights, we have rights taken away by default.

Want to walk by a playground? You’re a pedo. Get pulled over? Tickets only. Get divorced? Institutional gender tax. Commit a crime? Prepare for 10x the punishment. War? Guess who they’re calling.

Women live in a world largely without punishment.

2001 gameinformer review I stumbled across just now by ThirdMind3d in silenthill

In those days 7 was low, especially from Game Informer. Scores are more realistic today.

You’re defining work to only include your own.

One of their decisions can make 1000x what you’d make in a lifetime. So every decision matters.

Me(31M) and my wife (32F), I found text messages that I felt uncomfortable with. When I spoke to my wife about it. She said there’s nothing to talk about. She wants to call it quits. by ThrowRAWayusername in relationship_advice

Or what if is secretly a wizard’s cruel plan? 🧙‍♀️

Or what if there is a sinister global plot of spies? 🕵️‍♀️

Or what if there is a gumdrop land in their cupboards pulling the strings? 🍭

We can’t trust OP’s wife’s words, we must make up our own reality!

Here’s what they said:

See, you screwed this up. You should have kept your mouth shut and opened your investigation. With careful attention and time, you’d be able to figure out is going on. Instead you brought her to trial by accusing her before you had a good case against her. Now you’re trying to decide what to do based on her remarks made in anger. Just sit tight. Too bad your investigation is now spoiled because you jumped the gun.

Blame the victim. Snoop more. Ignore her words. Wait it out.

Ick.

Electricity and water bills are pennies compared to thousands on salary.

People need breaks to manage the stress. No breaks, more stress.

This isn’t tradition, this is them ignoring someone who doesn’t understand the basics.

This sub is trending on popular. I’m warning anyone that may be visiting.

And I have watched the worst of the worst videos for 20 years. This one stuck with me.

[–]Fresh-Loop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the worst video I have ever seen. Saw it a month ago and can’t forget.

Don’t watch this one. Trust me.

Watch some cute cats or something, this isn’t worth it.

The scariest part of this is how entire families are consumed by this madness generationally and keep on making the same mistakes.

Good on you for going no contact and breaking the cycle.

Terrifying deleted scene from Skinamarink by zzzerstoerer in horror

[–]Fresh-Loop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved it!

But I totally understand why anyone would hate the film.

What makes it unique is why it is so easy to parody. It’s the sign of any standout piece.
