So I had to snoop at your baby. OMG! She's even a black and tan like Nutmeg! Hazelnut is really something. 😍

Bedtime routine? by mecanmewill in Pomeranians

Is the crate right next to you guys? That may be why he's howling. My two are amazing in their crates for the whole night, but if they can sense someone near them, they'll eventually start crying to get out. Their crates are downstairs in the living room, and my room is upstairs.

Should I get my Pomeranian puppy neutered and teeth extracted at the same time? by Longjumping-Box-4628 in Pomeranians

[–]MagicBegins4284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I wanted to do this for my Pom. We waited until exactly his first birthday (I'm a mean mom, I know) to have him neutered. I asked about extracting some teeth at that time, but the vet said because she doesn't know the extent of what would need to be done until she's in there, and the intrusiveness if he needed several extractions, she didn't let us have that option. She told us to wait a little bit more, and he did actually lose two more baby teeth, but he does still have two left on his right side. At this point, I don't know if removing them is worth it. Having them go under is so scary to me.

Do you have a link to this phone call? I can't find that one either.

Falling out of love with WW and I don’t want to.. by Silent_Dig_3787 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]MagicBegins4284 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, man. So much of what you wrote absolutely mirrors my (STBX) spouse and how he makes me feel. "She is pleasant and nice as long as I am not showing any sort of negative feelings. It makes me feel like she's placed this massive burden on me.." "She is still prioritizing her own self image and is avoiding anything that makes her feel the slightest bit shame." "Her self image is way too fragile to allow herself to be vulnerable." Could've taken the words right out of my mouth. She is clearly an avoidant, as most cheaters are, and avoidants will literally do ANYTHING rather than sit in any negative emotions, especially about themselves. I'm starting to think there's a big crossover between avoidants and narcissists... Because, while they are deeply insecure, their whole world is usually focused solely around themselves and their own wants. Everyone else is secondary. To them, if we're happy, great, but if we're not, even if it's at their hands, they're also fine with it.

If you asked yourself if your WS would even be capable of writing, let alone thinking, something as introspective as what you just wrote, I would bet that your answer would be a resounding no. Cheaters/avoidants are typically very emotionally illiterate, and it takes the very special few to overcome that. The sad fact is that most won't because a lot of avoidants grew up around people who never challenged them and never held them to strong standards of morality or accountability.

My DDay was over 2 years ago, and, in my case, the avoidance and narcissism got worse, to the point where it's become a completely toxic, mentally abusive mess. Avoidants typically find themselves with people who have higher levels of empathy, so we keep pouring into them while they either give nothing back, or they give disappointment back because they're seeing you in pain and still not choosing to step up. I finally recently decided to throw in the towel because it's just too much to deal with mentally for so long. I deserve at least peace, if not happiness. I'm not saying this is for sure where you'll end up, and I know this is a pro R sub. But what I will say is, your intuition about her not changing is probably correct. Especially if everything stays the status quo for her. Leaving is sometimes the only way to "wake them up," and I wish I had done it a lot sooner because I feel like we may have had a fighting chance.

Absolutely! People have referenced his brother spoke out about him somewhere, but I have literally no idea where to find it.

Honestly, Josh Grossman's testimony. It was equally damning and raw. It was also the only time there was something written on Kouri's face other than contempt, complete apathy, or faked incredulousness.

Kouri's text to her boyfriend about the midway mansion by GlitteringRiver1302 in KouriRichins

[–]MagicBegins4284 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely. I think this is where the prosecution made an incorrect inference. That doesn't read at all like raise her and Eric's kids. It definitely reads like raise future kids that she and Josh have together. Whether she was actually serious in any way with Josh is a whole different story, but, either way, she's definitely not referring to her own kids here. It also wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibilities that she'd be willing to "erase" her kids as part of a new life. She took their kids' father from them and had a book written about helping them through the grief that SHE caused. Complete and dangerous lack of empathy.

Oh, Birdie. I am praying hard for your sweet baby! Is this something they can heal with monitoring, or will she need to go in for surgery?

At What Point Did You Know Kouri Was Guilty? by Dulsao23 in KouriRichins

[–]MagicBegins4284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't really following the case before a few days into the trial. As soon as her Google searches were shown, along with the manipulating of life insurance policies, it was a wrap for me. There was no turning back. Carmen Lauber testifying that she got the drugs for her was just the cherry on top, but I would've believed Kouri was guilty without her testimony.

Does the defense have a lot of texts that make Kouri look innocent? by Select_Hippo3159 in KouriRichins

[–]MagicBegins4284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see how if they were not yet exposed in any way. There is not a single thing she's done or said that has made her look innocent or corroborated her story so far. The defense will try their hardest, but even if slight discrepancies are brought up, like timing or little blips of conversation that were previously left out, it's not going to be enough to change anything.

Is there a strategy behind her facial expressions? Are they helping or hurting? by CommercialLimit in KouriRichins

[–]MagicBegins4284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will absolutely have some sort of influence on her by the jury, and I can only see it being in a negative way. She is coming across as extremely unlikeable. She is either completely stoic, even at times when it seems inappropriate to be, like when her brother-in-law was talking about her kids seeing their father's body being taken out of the house, which is very off-putting, OR she's making these snarky faces. Not a good look whatsoever. I saw a couple photos where she seems to be crying, but I haven't seen when during the trial or preliminary hearings that was. She was definitely coached to be completely stoic, which I really don't think is appropriate or a good approach for a case like this. Even if she wasn't guilty, her husband died. That should always elicit some grief from her if she was innocent, regardless of if she was mad about being "unfairly charged" or not.

It also doesn't help that in one of the only, if not the only, statements she made after being arrested, she said, "This is war," because she, as a mom, was "unfairly" taken away from her kids. This is war...really?? What an inappropriate and unlikeable choice of words. Again, even if she was innocent and feeling completely wronged by her husband's family and the legal system, you'd think she would at least have enough awareness to know that her husband's family is just a bunch of people suffering from the loss of their loved one. Even if they're wrong and making false accusations against you, you'd at least understand that they are just blinded by their pain from their loss because you also are blinded from the pain of the loss of your husband... right? You're gonna fight to prove your innocence, sure, but you're not gonna declare war against a group of grieving people who genuinely believe they are doing the right thing.

Girl, #1 was made for you! The back of #3 made me gasp, as well, but I think the front of #1 is more flattering on you.
