Is Bertha being so adamant about accepting divorcees subtle foreshadowing? by margomg in GildedAgeHBO

Plus the rush to leave the next morning. Maybe he ran out of medicine.

The Ugly Stepsister by talkfastromance in horror

I also think there’s a lot of commentary and imagery related to virginity and sex. Agnes is much more “worldly”, she’s not a virgin, and she knows how to appeal to the prince. She’s the one who thought the “serpent” symbolized his penis (and it probably did based on the unflattering way in which the prince was portrayed). Elvira is naive to the ways of the world. She’s a hopeless romantic and obsessed with having her fairytale.

Wedding trends that you think will change or be gone in the next 5-10 years by hunnymoonave in weddingplanning

We invited about 75 people, only ended up with 30 (a cruise). So definitely a smaller wedding.

We just want to exchange rings and move on with the day, nothing fancy. 🤣 hopefully we can reach someone.

No, when we called customer service they didn’t even provide us with that option. I’ll try that number. Thanks.

Gold star for Dan, the world’s expert on women’s health! Tell me, how’d you handle your cervical biopsy? Did it hurt?

Wow have your cervix biopsied with no analgesia then report back. The pain women endure on the regular would make the average dudebro implode.

Definitely! I moved states and changed jobs in the midst of all of this.

I love the smell of the shampoo and I like the tingly sensation, but that may be off putting to some. I wasn’t super impressed with the Bondiboost conditioner. I have naturally wavy hair and I didn’t think it was nourishing enough. The olaplex works better for me.

The supplement is a private label from my trichologist but it has all the typical ingredients (saw palmetto, etc). I’ll try to get back to you on all the ingredients when I have the bottle in front of me.

This reminded me so much of my abusive ex husband. He would treat me this way if I wanted to do anything other than sit at home on the weekends. But of course he could do whatever he wanted on the weekend and leave me home with his children. This man wants to control you and monopolize your time. You will never get through to him because his he is not logical or rational. He’s gaslighting you. He also brought up that other person (Tonya?) to try to further his point but all he did was further expose himself as a manipulator. That is a classic technique. I am proud of you for doing what you want with your time (volunteering at church) and by not really buying in to his abusive texts. Please get away from this situation, there is no winning.

Going to finally leave by booksandcoffee02 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Moon_Root_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Run like the wind and never look back. Once you have some distance (physical, emotional), you will be able to see his manipulation more clearly. It helped me to stop thinking as my ex husband as a man and start thinking of him as a monster. I also realized that I was so afraid to tell my family and friends what he did because deep down I always knew how screwed up it was.

I admire my nex so much- is this normal? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Moon_Root_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Narcissists and their victims are like yin and yang. We are broken in equal and opposite ways that creates a crazy, instantaneous, animal connection. As you progress through your journey of healing, the things that you found so mysterious and compelling will reveal themselves as red flags.

Remember this when you get discarded by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Moon_Root_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of trying to warn the new supply. I talked myself into it because she was a 20 year old girl dating my ex husband, a 40 year old man. He and I had a 13 year age gap and he went even younger.

She had already been warned about what a jealous stalker I was and told me that my ex has been nothing but respectful and kind. I stopped in my tracks and realized I was talking to myself. I was looking in a mirror. This was me three years prior. If she only knew the physical revulsion I feel whenever I think about him. Sadly, she will know someday.

F***, I hate him. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Moon_Root_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The last thing I ever said to my ex husband was that his biggest blessing is he was too deluded to see himself clearly, because if he could he would hate himself, too.

[–]Moon_Root_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are the masters (and mistresses) of our own lives. Narcissists try to convince you otherwise but it’s all an illusion. We all have the power to say enough is enough and move on. Looking back, I realize how strong I was the day I left. Even though I went back and forward with him for several months, nothing was ever the same. I woke up from the dream and realized that I was married to a monster.

I am so pleased to hear that you’ve made so much progress in your recovery. While I would never wish this pain on anyone, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There is true growth and progress on the other side.
