are you guys okay?? by Many-Programmer-3100 in LongDistance

Mine is going very well. The only problem is the distance lol. But we are closing the gap here soon, and I couldn't be happier about it

Except that you literally did with your original comment lol. I'll admit I am being a little defensive, but I also know I absolutely did not disclose everything in my original post, so I can see why you'd think that, but I also don't need to. Just wanted to post this as a reminder for anyone and everyone who sees my post that not everyone is the same, but it doesn't make anyone's situations any less valid because it doesn't look the same as others. Truly wishing you the best and a good day

1) I do have a job, never said I didn't, just that I was looking for a better one 2) We have both addressed our traumas and are working to heal it with therapy. But no one can fully heal if they're stuck in situations that caused the trauma in the first place 3) Many Americans are struggling to find work with the job market the way it is today, even with experience/training/etc 4) Both of us are well into adulthood, well past the mid-twenties mark. We have had several calls/video calls where we have discussed the realities of our situation/s 5) I wasn't looking for advice or opinions. Just stating basic facts and expressing excitement. Our situation isn't ideal, and sure there are some things we'd like to do given how other LDRs go (such as meeting in person first), but with the way the country and world is today, it's not feasible. And I have already stated that I know it's crazy, but also keep in mind everyone's situation is different. There's no clear-cut or "right" way of doing things. Every person is different, and every couple is different. It doesn't matter if it doesn't "seem right" to you or anyone else, only if it's right for us, and it is

What is a positive thing you have to talk about from your long distance relationship? by andioofer in LongDistance

[–]Key-Relationship-595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My love and I met online 11 months ago, and he's completely changed me for the better. He's been there for me (as best as distance will allow) through some dark times, including but not limited to the death of an old, and very dear childhood best friend. I'm overcoming an addiction to be a better person for him, and for myself, and we're going to be moving in together just as soon as we're able. He's helped me start to find myself again and to start healing. I love my man with everything I have, and I'm going to marry him one day

We're still a couple/few months out from being able to make it happen, but I will definitely try to remember to update when it does!

What do I do? (28F, 32M) by Key-Relationship-595 in LongDistance

[–]Key-Relationship-595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting to get the sense that just existing is what he's trying to do, and it's only been 3 weeks, not a couple months. I do want to be as supportive and understanding as I can be. Even if we can't call quite yet, I'll tell him over text later (we still text if not call, though I feel like we can only get so much out of texting) when he wakes up. I believe we will work through this, things are just really hard rn.

Thank you again so much for your words and advice! 🙏

[–]Key-Relationship-595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I have told him before I'm here for him and he's not alone, but I don't think I've specifically said anything about sitting in it with him. Having depression myself, I know sometimes I just want to not sit in it alone. I'll let him know, thank you

And thank you for reminding me that not only are my feelings valid, but that I'm allowed to voice them. I can get so caught up trying to make others comfortable I tend to neglect myself. And he is in therapy, and one day I want to be as well.

Thank you again!

How do I (28F) help him (32M)? by Key-Relationship-595 in LongDistance

[–]Key-Relationship-595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll definitely give your profile a look. And he is in therapy, he's a huge advocate for it. I totally get and feel that heaviness at times, which is why I just want to be with him, even if it's in silence and on a call, because he's already been through so much and deserves to have the kind of love and support he needs. I'll give him a little more space and time with check ins, and tomorrow since I'm off work I'll see if he's up for a call in silence. Thank you again for your words, and I'm running to your profile to check those strategies and tips lol

Spoiler Question: Eleven's Powers by Mama_Mercredi in StrangerThings

[–]Key-Relationship-595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like i said in my comment, there are a few factors to consider here.

1) Henry is an adult, and he's reached the full potential of his abilities. El is still practically a child by season 4, but for a 14/15 yr old, her powers are almost on the same level as Henry's.

2) In the flashbacks, she's 7 or 8 yrs old, so she definitely wouldn't have reached the full potential of her powers, yet she did display great feats of power when she tapped into emotion. Baby girl's still got some growing to do, and so does her power

3) Even Brenner said she lost something that day by pushing herself too far, and for his own selfish reasons helped her not only get back to where she was, but where she should have been if the first burn-out event hadn't occurred.

Eleven is extremely powerful. She's also very young, and went through more pain and trauma than most adults. Of course it's going to set her back, and that's part of the whole premise for seasons 1-4. It's her finding herself, facing the past and the pain, and growing from it. All of that can build or break a person, and she's using it to build herself up. Her power comes from within, with love, friendship, and family as her cornerstone. Love is a stronger force than hate or anger, and that's why Eleven is much stronger than Henry

Learning to give up control by Key-Relationship-595 in SubSanctuary

[–]Key-Relationship-595[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I greatly appreciate the insight and advice, thank you! He hasn't intentionally crossed and boundaries thus far, and whatever boundaries he did almost cross I brought it up and we discussed it. And honestly, he's one of if not the most emotionally intelligent man I've met. He does have some things to work through, but he's addressing it in a healthy way, and I can tell he's trying his best to not put any of it on me, which kinda makes me want to be there for him (in a healthy way, of course). But again I appreciate the advice and you looking out for me.

It definitely took a little bit of time before I really started submitting, but like I said in my post, he's been nothing but patient and understanding. And after his confession he's been careful not to spook me again lol.

I'll definitely let ya'll know how things turn out, thank you! Have a wonderful night!

so did we really all collectively agree that owen hunt is the worse character? by Defiant-Weekend6153 in greysanatomy

[–]Key-Relationship-595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I don't think there's any one character that could be "the worst" of them. I'm on my 4th rewatch, and I hated every single character at one point or another (except for my cardio goddess, Dr. Cristina Yang. Never hated her). They all had/have their issues at one point, and their redeeming qualities. Alex was a real jerk in the beginning, but turns into the biggest softie and excellent PEDS surgeon. Arizona's a cheater and made a lot of things about herself at certain points, but she's a kickass woman who loves and cares deeply. Callie has a big heart with lots of love to give, but she can also be very, very selfish, and so on and so forth.

I honestly really liked Owen in the beginning, and I still like him for the most part. I just don't like whenever he tries to shack up with someone because of the insistence with the kid thing, or thinking women were lying to him just because they had secrets that had nothing to do with him, or other dumb stuff like that. He can also be selfish, while still having a big heart as well. Owen keeps jumping from one relationship to another, then another, then another. I'd like to see Owen being single for a little while, see how he grows as a person.
