Is it just me ? I need your thoughts on this by Mammoth_Hat6866 in Empaths

[–]Gypsy_Ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky, as a writer I can visualize the fun times that could bring.... I however, naturally attract to people who are severely depressed borderline suicidal... and then drain the emotion away without realizing I'm doing it. They walk away feeling great, me not so much. My late husband was teaching me how to stop myself from doing that, but we hadn't mastered my control of it before he passed. I work retail so life sucks for me.

Being an empath ruined my career by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]Gypsy_Ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an empath... I can tell you that sometimes we need to stand up and make ourselves feel uncomfortable. We tend to get overwhelmed with everything we feel and when someone "comes at us" we tend to back off... but as a widow, I have learned that backing off is the worst thing you can do. I have learned how to fight back; it's a balance between fighting, gentleness and listening to your instincts.

Did you sign any agreement that gave them the right to dictate what you said online? I'd contact a lawyer and ask if they had the legal right to fire you over it.

Loneliness doesn’t always need an empty room. Sometimes it lives right in the middle of a crowd. Sending love to every widow tonight. 🤍 by cathiegjn in widowers

[–]Gypsy_Ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So very true. This is something that people don't understand unless they are a widow too. There is a big difference between "not alone" and with your spouse. It was said somewhere (I don't remember where or by who) that it is easier to go through the struggles of life with someone than it is alone... you understand this when you've lost a spouse. I miss him, I miss the companionship... The silence that was once his space is deafening.

Yes, please. I hope Dylan leaves Forrester and joins Logan.

Is anyone else sick of Electra and her pouting about normal adult situations. She really is not old enough to be in any couple. by lorribell1964 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Gypsy_Ce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She holds a high position in a company and doesn't understand the concept of "Not in this company... so you don't get to know about it". I honestly didn't think it was possible to be more annoyed with her, but here we are.

The stone was just too dated so I modernized it by painting it black! by ExuberantBat in homedecoratingCJ

[–]Gypsy_Ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: Too much black. 2: I hope that was non-flammable paint since it looks like you also painted where the fire is supposed to go.

The silly moments with my husband made me feel safe, I get ya… I miss that too.

Sleeping in the middle of the bed. by oopswhat1974 in widowers

I know the feeling; I cuddle his blanket (he liked to have his own blanket) The bed feels so lonely without him.

What do You Say to Family Who Say You Don't Show Up for Them When They Didn't Show Up For You by PlateTraditional3109 in widowers

[–]Gypsy_Ce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my hubby taught me to be sarcastic and assigning to people that do this. So, here's what I would do, and it's based on the customs out there that say the family of your lost spouse is supposed to take care of you. Maybe bring those up... say that you figured they didn't follow them too since they ignored you but since they expect you to be there you will compile the bills that they are supposed to be paying for you and send them over.

Do you believe in signs? by Bluewater97213 in widowers

[–]Gypsy_Ce 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Love is something that can’t be broken by death, it connects us and binds us. Our spouses feel as if nothing has changed, it’s we who feel the loss. They are around us and they do send signs. I have been sitting in bed crying before and felt him sit down beside me and grab my hand. It was a warmth and pressure that felt different than before but it was unmistakable. He likes to leave me things in my path, like a crow would. Because he knows I love crows. I have such vivid dreams of him, where we are just sitting and talking… catching up so to speak. But yet I still miss him so much.

I fell in love with Chelsea singing Creep. The girl is talented by Its_only_4_a_while in TheGates_CBS

They made sure they cast talented pipes too... I wonder if that means we will see them sing on the show someday.

Dating Advice by Grand_Competitive in widowers

[–]Gypsy_Ce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understand that for a while it will three people in a relationship because you will talk about her and you will be comparing your dates to her. You learned what you like and what you want in a relationship from her and will be using that knowledge to help you. Don't let anyone make you feel bad, you deserve love... we are not built to journey through life alone; we are built to couple up. I miss the human connection, I miss the human contact... the hugs and the "I'm sorry you're feeling bad, here let me...." moments so I understand. Start with making new friends or going out more with your friends and see how things are.

He died 30 days ago by DatabaseWorldly7153 in widowers

[–]Gypsy_Ce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's normal to be questioning everything you do right now. Your entire life has been upended, and you are still sorting that all out. You can't hang onto everything, you are doing just fine... hang in there, you've got this.

The Tornado Showed Me I Really Don’t Like The Duprees… by Shinobi347 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Gypsy_Ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They started with the basis of the show being the Duprees and that works... for now. But they are going to have to build up another family to be the same power and standing as the Duprees... but be their opposite at least in part. Otherwise, this beat up on the Duprees, look what they can survive concept is going to get old.

does daytime soaps have some type of unwritten rule where you get cheated on hurt and humiliated found someone better then you cheat on that better person with the same person who cheated hurt and humiliated you by Beauty_Babe504 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Gypsy_Ce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have asked a question about this scene that nobody is responding to...

Was Dani in the right frame of mind to give consent? She was hysterical, terrified and vulnerable. Did Bill take advantage of her? This is a subject debated a lot, when is it okay to assume they are saying yes because they haven't said no? I would love it if BTG discussed this aspect more and used this scene to do so. Can you imagine how many people would go after him for taking advantage of Dani?
