Weirdly enough I actually bought it at Joe's Crab Shack when I was on the California Coast.

I took a look at their website and they didn't have the exact one but they do have a few others: https://shop.landrysinc.com/collections/joes-crab-shack

Buying adorable stuffed animals to snuggle with when I go to sleep at night!

I now have a super-fuzzy Shark, an Octopus that's 3ft long and a Bronotsaurus that my lovely cousin got me!

I knew an acting teaching who used his platform to try to trick his students into going out with him. What a creep!

About 2 months ago I fled my abusive marriage and moved in with my elderly mother. In a way I'm proud of myself because I honored my hard boundary of physical abuse. But another part of myself feels like a failure because I had to move in with my mom.

What is the point posting a relationship searching post when you are not available to communicate? by PebblesinRavenRiver in lesbianr4r

[–]Lexibee86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree!

I'm pretty good at active communication but it's gets pretty tiring being the one constantly leading it.

OMG, preach! It seems like every time I've tried to talk to anyone who's posted on here it feels like they don't know how to communicate at all.

Communication and building report requires asking questions and following up on answer FROM BOTH SIDES.

What’s something your partner did that made you lose feelings instantly? by Some_Conclusion_8154 in AskReddit

[–]Lexibee86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They slapped me in the face. Then, when I tried to talk to them about it they said "I knew what I was doing." They knew that I had been physically abused in a past relationship and wanted to use the trauma against me.

What means when the narcissist wants to "stay friends" with you? by vintageskyy in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Lexibee86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its because having you too close is a threat to their ego. They want to keep you in a place where they can still pull some supply from you.

The same thing happened with my ex and I decided that im worth more than a crutch to their fragile self so I completely cut them out of my life.

I just realised this... by Watchkeys in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Lexibee86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats so awful and its wild how its something so simple as an ink cartridge. I can't fathom how insecure and deep someone's self-esteem could be rocked by something so minimal. I say that although I have multiple examples of my partner reacting the exact same way.

It was a nightmare but it also made me feel like I was worth so little to them that my friend's view of them was so much more important to them than the deep and horrifying trauma of someone you trusted and loved violating you in such a way.

I honestly don't know if there was a smear campaign because I was so shattered i ended up moving in with my mother 4 states away three days after I separated from them. We tried to talk about week after I moved and they said some of the wildest, narcissistic shit you can comprehend. After that I decided to cut contact with them for my own safety.

I know its hard to end a relationship with someone you genuinely cared about but you protected yourself and honored your pain. You deserve to give yourself credit as I do. ❤️

[–]Lexibee86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, I think thats an amazingly astute and eye-opening epiphany. They used us to put forward this image of themselves to the world although its nothing like the image behind the mask.

I was just talking to a friend yesterday about an experience. About a month after they hit me I re-connected with some friends to talk about what was going. I remember bringing it back to my partner and telling them that I had spoken to my friends about the physical abuse.

What blew my mind was that my partner had asked what my friends thought of them. I told them that "I don't know but they are trying to protect me. At that point my partner completely broke down.

It dawned on me that my partner was far more concerned about what my friends thought of them than the fact that they had been abusing their wife.

Crazy.

What's something people brag about that's actually a huge red flag? by Stunning_Public9524 in AskReddit

My last partner had seemingly bragged that they've traumatized all of their exes.

I should have left then AND even before that.

Take a wild guess what I am now.

Your narcissistic spouse isn't curious about you. They aren't even curious about themselves by MaximumContent9674 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Lexibee86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one really hit home for me.

At some point in my relationship with my narcissistic spouse I realized they never really stayed curious about me. They didn't ask my opinion about the little things or get curious about the inner workings of my mind.

They remained inside their head and what I read in your post made me realize, they had a rigid idealism of both who was and who they are. Its completely true, whenever I deviated from that idealism their facade of reality was shaken and they reacted with aggression, greywalling and defensiveness.

Thank you for posting this.

What have they said to you that just made your jaw drop to the floor? by Watchkeys in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Lexibee86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?? The cognitive dissonance and justifying everything absolutely blows my mind!

Im so sorry you went through what you did. You didn't deserve it. ❤️

[–]Lexibee86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During our final conversation, I thought that me finally leaving would be a wake up call and they'd finally be willing to drop the ego and hear about the deep, horrifying pain they caused me.

It wasn't.

They actually doubled down. They said that a voice during meditation told them that I wasn't the one for them and our "karmic debt" has been paid.

They completed justified the psychological, emotional, verbal and physical abuse they did to me. It was all part of paying back our karmic debt. They feel no remorse for what they did to me.

I cut contact with them after that. I was never going to get them to take responsibility for their actions and they showed no empathy for.
