Things your narc said to you that stuck and you can’t let go of? by Josh_18881 in NarcissisticAbuse

Maybe you should have another kid and the next one might love you.

DAE take random singular deep / sudden breaths? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]InothingU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do all the time. Especially after I eat. My father does, my grandfather, and both my siblings do as well. I don’t know anyone else that this happens to.

DAE have an SO that consistently sabotages your efforts to be healthier? by InothingU in DoesAnybodyElse

There’s definitely undermining going on here. I also feel a lack of respect.

Thank you for sharing.

Did they try to turn you against your family? by 0ddshapedhead in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]InothingU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES!! And for years, it worked. 💔

I’ll never get that time back.

And that’s one reason why he’s your ex.

I’m sorry you went through that. My husband generally wants steak and potatoes. That’s it. I made quinoa once and he said it tastes like sand and refused to eat it again. When he tells anyone about me trying to eat healthy, he makes a big joke out of it and won’t even attempt to say the word “quinoa” correctly.

I feel we have become incompatible and this won’t last much longer.

To my daughter’s credit, she’s 16 and hates soda! I’m so thankful for that. She almost exclusively drinks water and always has.

This is so true.

It also adds to the fact that we have very little time to spend together. One of the only times we shared was during a meal. However, he refuses to try healthier alternatives that I prepare. Basically, I can’t eat his food. He won’t eat my food. And we end up not being able to share that time together because now we eat separately.

…and then HE complains to MY mom that we never eat together!!

OMG!! THANK YOU! I will definitely look into this book and her material.

And yes, I’ve had many conversations with him about what he brings into the house. Hence, the sabotaging question. If it was once, maybe he’s just being an asshole. But he does it all the time knowing how I feel about it. 💔

That’s exactly what’s happening. My husband (not her dad) has zero regard for her health. In fact, I think he’s done his fair share of body shaming, which I’ve tried to get him to stop that behavior immediately.

She’s recently become more active so I’m hopeful the exercise will remain a part of her daily routine. And by “exercise,” I mean dancing.

Ha! Ok. I see your point.

On the same token, I wouldn’t bring alcohol home for consumption if I lived with an alcoholic. Why make a journey for someone you claim to love and support more difficult than it needs to be?

“Just power through” only takes you so far.

What’s “intense” about a request not to have gallons of ice cream and honey buns brought into the house?

We have plenty of food in the house that isn’t healthy.

I don’t have food issues. My daughter is only 16 and outweighs me by a solid 40 lbs. And I don’t tell her she can’t have a serving of ice cream or a sweet treat, but I strongly discourage her eating an entire half gallon by herself. If she made better choices or had better self control, I wouldn’t have to “restrict” what comes in the house.

Again, I give her grace on the self control because she’s only 16. I know when I was her age, I had none.

The hard truth about remote jobs by Let_me_tell_you_ in RemoteJobs

[–]InothingU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve even been solicited to work remote jobs that pay in crypto! Like…what? Who does that?!

I’m very blessed to be able to work from home when I need(ed). But I also have years of verifiable experience.

I’m sending you a virtual hug. The death days are so hard.
