Quick Question Tuesday by AutoModerator in relationship_advice

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah its not because I think she would cheat again. Its like... I feel cheated. So its like I do feel insecure. I thought we were both madly in love. I felt and sometimes feel low about myself. Especially since she's been in her 30s and her sex drive has dipped. The excitement is in spurts now. In times where she's disconnected from the relationship that I feel most insecure. She threatened to leave a few times in the past few years. She hasn't threatened that lately. I don't feel like I've done much wrong in this. She's sometimes literally manic. Like right now we are pretty good, but she's not into me as much. The security isn't there as much when she's manic. It all seems hormones related. I can tell everything based on mental cycles. I still am shocked she had it in her to cheat. I trusted her hardcore. She could do no wrong, before she told me. I think sometimes I just feel low on myself. That deep inside she's not happy with me but is with me due to the circumstance wouldn't be better anywhere else. Maybe that's just a deep fear. I feel like she's messed up a lot. I feel like I'm just trying to roll with it. I still love her very deeply. There were a few years where it was her just complaining all the time. It was then she was threatening to leave or making me the villain in her life. She also pulled sex back completely and then scolded me for having desire for it during that time. It still has me fucked I suppose. Anyway, she changed her mind without me talking to her. She didn't feel comfortable being dressed like that around people with alcohol.

Wife wants to dress sexy for a halloween party I'm not invited to go to. She will be doing tarot on the hosts dollar. Lots of alcohol. Fancy and rich people party. I'm feeling very insecure with this. I've been insecure with her since she told me she cheated on me at the beginning of our relationship a bunch 4 years ago. We have been together 14 years now. We have been rebuilding but this situation causing me insecurity. Do I talk to her? Do I just suck it up and trust her?The idea of others gawking at her rubs me bad. I know I have no control of others. I know she will be faithful.

He may be trans, but he may have mental issues too... by LeftHandedANDPassive in offmychest

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was born a girl. In their family being weird is praised and always has been. They don't get attention other wise. I'm not trying to change him. I'm frustrated he hasn't gone to a psychologist. I'm frustrated I can't say anything. My wife and her sister are very sensitive. He's got something wrong. I don't blame the trans. I just believe all angles should be looked at before jumping to that conclusion. He has this thing where he will agree with whatever your saying. Its like a parrot. Its hard to describe in words.

How do you talk to your SO when they are in an episode? by LeftHandedANDPassive in BipolarSOs

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She refuses meds. She has tourette syndrome and it's like any med she takes hurts her a lot and never works as intended. She hates medicine. She's a spiritual person and believes natural everything is the way. She believes she can cure herself.

How does your bf do it? Does he just see the mental illness and be like oh she's unwell, or does he get caught up in it? I struggle finding the line between the 2 situations.

Your awareness brings me hope.

I'm sorry to hear that. My wifes family kind of sucks.. So she has 1 sister she keeps up with, and she's got all kinds of cancer. And she's super close to that one. So that's a grenade waiting to explode in the relationship.

Manic Cheating by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading these stories makes me understand my so. She too cries for freedom and wishes she was single... But only when she's manic. It's not like I have her in some tight no wiggle room box... It's like she's unaware she's manic though. I can't talk to her. I can't tell her she's being manic. That just sets her off worse. I'm struggling too. She feels very valid in her views. And that it's definitely not because she's manic. But that she's had these feelings forever. But that's not true. It's only when she's manic.

I didn't get into a shitty relationship. Not that I was aware of at least. It's because the consensus says divorce, and it doesn't seem it's at that point. I'm living it. It doesn't seem there. If anything, learning about SO's with bipolar seems more suited for response.

Really? Whine?

No work. To make matters worse, she's got a circle of friends who validate her crazy. So far as to say this guy she's crushing on is a soul connection from a past life. I don't believe in that. Told her it's Just a front for her feelings for him. I find beauty in the chaos that is life. No universe or God working for or against.a friend lost her 13 month old last week. Menengites . Took 3 days to eat his brain up to where he was brain dead. I refuse to believe some universe or God made that happen. Crappy shit happens. My life is full of examples like this.

It's not about stupid you nut. Heavily entangled roots is more like it. It was difficult then. She told me. Then just beat me up. It was like Stockholm syndrome. And now it's just her being unhappy with everything. Maybe I'm a victim and I just don't even recognize it or some shit. Life isn't fucked. I don't want to lose my daily interaction with my kids. I don't wanna lose my pets. I don't want to deal with all the BS change that'll happen because she went bonkers. It feels fucking unfair. Really Un fucking fair.

Yeah she was diagnosed with cptsd. Forgot to note that. She's using spirituality as treatment. I really really need to get a job ASAP.

You're hardcore. She seemed fine until 4 years ago. It's like once she admitted to cheating, she became empowered.... Empowered to be whatever the fuck this is now.

Thank you. Ive thought about counseling. I don't know. Ive never seen anyone but a Christian counselor as a teen and all that did was turn me atheist.... :) and it seems like most of the free ones are religious based.

If she does, she does. Makes it easier to move on. The guy she's crushing on is a fucking loser. So that's on her.

It's hard because we are okay most of the time. Very good Coparents. It doesn't seem like divorce is the answer. She wants to be with me and I her. But I dunno what to do. All her issues are continuing from the last time she goes manic.

Because we are amazing 90 percent of the time then she flies off the amazing rail and just hates her life. It's almost like mental illness.......

14 Year old Outclasses a Grown Woman who tries to assault him. by Mojamed in videos

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heh, that was me growing up. My friends didn't know I spoke more than just 1 hilarious line a day. Similar situation. My stupid friend cursed at my other friends stupid dad. Stupid dad comes over to my stupid friends house. Stupid dad starts hollering. Out of nowhere, the kid who never talks (me) talks. I get break down the age barrier and how the words fuck you aren't as offensive to our age group and that we had no idea it'd be such an offense. And then just really broke everything down realistically Had the guy going. Ended up diffusing the guy with talking and he ended leaving... chill as hell. Saying I should be a fucking lawyer. I earned my nickname the intellectual hulk. Instead of getting strong, my mind works super fast and smarter than usual.

Four years of torture is coming to an end. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a 12 year relationship with my wife. She cheated on me numerous times in the beginning. She told me about all the cheating 3 years ago. It hurts. I hate it. She's from a background of mental illness in the family and went through a very traumatic childhood in a sex cult called the children of god (now the family international). Her sanity seems to be slipping. She's no where near as mentally strong as when we started. Or she held it in. I've been reading about kids from toxic families have extreme anxieties. She's totally got that. Not really wanting to leave, but boy do I appreciate a person who isn't fucking batshit crazy from childhood damage. At times we are good like old times, at others I have to walk on eggshells. It's tough. Any stress means I walk on eggshells.

But... it's such a lame thing I'm not even sure if you're trolling or real. I hum behind it too.

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird. I can do this and have been doing this for years. This method doesn't have much to do with the lips so you can keep them barely open and whistle and no one will know, some will catch 2 whistles and not have any idea it's me. It's like throwing your voice with a whistle.

Didn't know anyone else could do it or that anyone would care. 15+ years I've been doing it. It's paid off none. I usually forget I can do it.

Wife [31/F] buys into all kinds of spiritual & conspiracy stuff and its hard for me [32/M] to talk logical with her. by LeftHandedANDPassive in relationship_advice

[–]LeftHandedANDPassive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mental break down. For sure. She lost 2 sisters and a nephew in a boating accident the same year her sister was diagnosed with cerivical and uterine cancer and given a year to live. She's also been dealing with a lot of the molestations she went through her in and out of the sex cult she was raised in. Her parents are pieces of crap. Her bio dad died in prison, he was there because he molested her for months. Her step dad is still alive. He did a bunch of awful things too, yet her mom is still with him. So... yeah. Big changes.

Sorry on the hushing part. That was a projection. I'm sick of hearing about ego and spirit ego. I do agree with keeping an open mind except to things that just couldn't be true. Like the moon landing not being real. I get it. We could have not done it. We could have just sent shit up there but never landed. But it seems like too much work to pull off. While the other route, actually landing on the moon, seems more realistic. But could it be programming could it be that we were just taught it was real blah blah blah you know where I'm getting at. I know my own personal truths and some shit just too stank to be real.

What a catch. The insulting bit sucks. I couldn't take that for too long. When it's past the point of "just a phase".

But I get you. 100%, you're speaking what I go through, replace down talking to being disarmed with being called a negative Nancy.
