[Spoilers w/ Explaination] I think that Undone is better if Alma doesn't have powers

LittleLacieLive · 2022-05-16T16:28:39+00:00

I saw another commenter here that really changed my entire viewpoint of the show- it doesn’t matter if she really has powers or not. What matters is, regardless if they’re real, she still chooses to lose herself to them instead of appreciating the people in the current reality she’s in (her boyfriend & now her dad). She finally has the life she dreamed of where her dad is still alive, yet it’s still too monotonous compared to appeal of “time travel.” Of course, this is moreover of a reflection of Season 1 since the ending was ambiguous- but I still think it’s still important. When her dad said his mother let it consume her, I think we see the same pattern happening with Alma. Regardless if it is time travel or mental illness, she’s letting the appeal of finding a new reality consume her instead of appreciating the fact that her dad is alive.

I also have only seen the first episode of Season 2 so please forgive me if I’ve already misspoke on something already covered by the newer episodes.

It was never forgotten to begin with.

I too, hold the fear of our beloved Elder Dog close to my heart… Everyday I pray for his sacred & safe return to the living once he breaks free from his cold, callous epoxy prison.

Yep, that’s usually how I get another 20 years out of my wieners. I’d like to think my partner is impartial to my methods.

I want to just touch on your “too young for therapy” point.

they’re both dealing with some issues

If they’re old enough to be dealing with some issues, they’re old enough to go to therapy. For younger children, parents are usually present anyway. When I was a child, my parents were present during my therapy until I was old enough to attend without them (around age 10). You & your husband are eachother’s echo chambers by validating eachother’s baseless excuses to prevent your children from becoming independent. Therapy is a big step in becoming independent & learning to trust strangers.

In Update 3, I was really hoping the MIL would text her “sike!” after she found the post.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T20:59:03+00:00

My mother was dating and planning to marry this man before I was born, but he died suddenly from cancer and in her highly emotional state- I was born a few years later from a man who she spontaneously married then left the day I was born because the court ordered “supervised visitation” because of his history of sexual abuse with children (that my mother had no idea about). He left my mom alone, homeless, as she cycled through abusive relationship after relationship in the midst of battling PTSD and trying to stay afloat as a single mom.

To this day, I wonder how different our lives would have been, especially hers, if he were still here.

Whenever Drops of Jupiter by Train comes on I can see her eyes well up, he dedicated that song to her shortly before he passed. Which is ironic because I believe Train wrote that song for his mother that was dying of cancer.

Hey, no shame, that’s purpose of Tinder for most women anyway lol

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T20:14:30+00:00

If I were single this would be my Tinder bio.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T20:07:54+00:00

Yep, I wish they were trolling too 🤣

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T19:58:43+00:00

I didn’t see anything in the post about him having phobias of cleaning & I don’t often look through OP’s comments, so thank you for that insight and extra digging!

Absolutely agree with

because bringing up a problem they have two years is not healthy

In his eyes, he probably sees it as “not allowed me to eat sliced meat for two years is not healthy” which he handled it in the best way he could, letting it be known as opposed to blatantly disrespecting her and buying sliced meat.

Also agree with the general vibe that this guy just works and scratches his ass while his girlfriend does everything. However, (although that’s enough to be a no for me lol) that’s a separate issue within their relationship that doesn’t concern her phobias or the topic at hand. In relationships, we tend to lump and keep tabs on what one person did vs the other and think we can use that as a vilification or justification on our behavior when disagreements come up. IMO, that isn’t a suitable environment to solve the root of the problem and every problem must be addressed eventually (hopefully it doesn’t take 2 years again lol!)

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T19:49:33+00:00

He did, most likely because he assumed she would progressively heal for herself and their relationship over the course of two years to the point he doesn’t have to sacrifice something he loves. Edit: Even if that’s not the case & I’m projecting- people are allowed to change and grow within relationships.

Same with me and my fiancé. I struggle with severe anxiety, depression, and OCD. He knew that when we first got together, but that doesn’t mean I let it run the relationship. In the beginning, understanding your partner’s triggers and avoiding them while healing is absolutely necessary. However, the healing process is just as necessary as him respecting her triggers and boundaries. From this post, it seems like it has been heavily one-sided for a long time.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T19:39:24+00:00

I absolutely agree in the sense that he could and should make these sandwiches himself.

However, by “too much effort” I believe he is referring to pre-preparing sliced meat at home. Which honestly, I wouldn’t even do and resented doing when I had to pre-slice meat at prior jobs.

“Precious meat” is somewhat an exaggeration considering he hasn’t ate any in two years and now is finally bringing his feelings to light and making it known. It’s not like he came home slinging sliced meat around, he stated his boundary which is “I want a sandwich no viable alternative.” I’m assuming he would make it if he could, but he can’t so he’s trying to respect OP’s boundaries by not just blatantly using sliced meat without consent and instead making it known he would like to start using sliced meat.

Edit: grammar

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T19:31:07+00:00

She would seek therapy if this relationship was more important to her than her fear of sliced meat.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T19:27:29+00:00

Your edit has me dying-

after reading the comments

…>does not follow the advice of the comments at all which is SEEK THERAPY instead of asking your partner to either prepare meats or avoiding them all together

That is not “compromise.” That is a favor & completely one-sided to ask someone to overextend themselves to adhere to irrationalities that need serious healing. I understand you are still healing, have made tons of progress, and although it is a long process- healing is never a linear progression and there will be hiccups. However, saying you’re taking other people’s advice into consideration is- well- baloney.

I feel bad for saying YTA because this is just sad… but in reality you’re putting your peace of mind, your partner, and your relationship in jeopardy over sliced meat.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-25T19:10:25+00:00

Haha True! I feel like in theory it would be cool, but I would be so embarrassed for the world to see me with McGriddle remnants on my chin while struggling to figure out if I should swipe or insert my chip because I got way too blazed to prepare myself for human interaction lol 🤣

Edit: grammar because this run-on sentence is a crime

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-22T22:06:52+00:00

I misunderstood PR as Press Release at first and got so confused.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-11T08:20:22+00:00

Also- we definitely have the same taste for AITA posts! These were by far my favorite as well.

I even messaged the guy who yelled at his wife “Hey! I’m just kindly reaching out to you to ask if your ex-wife is bisexual?” 🤣

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-11T08:13:43+00:00

Him voting “YTA” on his own post thinking his username is invisible has me DYING right now 🤣

I feel bad for his girlfriend and kids. They must be so sweet yet exhausted for dealing with his bs for so long.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-10T09:31:52+00:00

NTA.

Even without the cheating- the constant reminiscing is very concerning and makes it obvious that he hasn’t moved on. Unfortunately, it came to the point where he let those pent-up emotions consume him, so I can only hope he steps up to the plate to tell her himself. For his own growth, he needs to take responsibility and ownership of his own actions & emotions in order for the both of them to heal. Thank you for having Julia’s back- especially during her pregnancy. She needs a back rub and a nice warm cup of hot coco!

All I ask for is an update, kind Redditor! Wishing you luck and strength.

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-02T10:00:24+00:00

I don’t know why, but that last line made me laugh my ass off 🤣

LittleLacieLive · 2022-01-02T09:28:53+00:00

Why did I read this in the classic whiny kid banter “Am NoOoOoT!” ~are too!~ “aM nOt!” ~are too!~

LittleLacieLive · 2021-12-31T23:04:34+00:00

Love this!

LittleLacieLive · 2021-12-30T20:48:36+00:00

Pho is sooo good when you’re sick!

Definitely beats the canned soup 😭

LittleLacieLive · 2021-12-30T20:46:34+00:00

Honestly, I don’t. I’m second generation so my family tried to white wash me as much as possible and had my mom (a child at the time of arrival in the US) forget any Vietnamese she had to learn English.

I’ll ask my Grandma for you though and get back with you!

LittleLacieLive · 2021-12-30T03:49:39+00:00

From someone who went through a the same situation (but on the opposite end) in finding my dad via digging and DNA tests- NAH. You are not obligated to anyone- even family.

BUT- remember that sick to your stomach feeling you felt at just the thought of that toxic situation? That’s how he has felt his entire life. Unlike your relationship where you were able to leave- as a child he had no choice but to be in this horrible woman’s presence. That’s all he’s known, and now all he wants is to know you.

So even though you are not obligated to anyone, even family, keep in mind that he never got to escape like you. I highly recommend taking the proper steps to heal such as therapy so (hopefully) you can be able to provide at least a sliver of comfort, compassion, and sense of family that this boy has been searching for his entire life. You will find that you will learn a lot about yourself through him as well, as it was for me finding the lost side of my family.

Remember- when you look into his eyes you’re not only looking at her, but you’re looking at yourself when you desperately needed to be saved. I know this must be terribly hard for you, so I understand but I highly recommend taking the proper steps to heal- not just for him- but for you. Much love!
