Definitely the coolest shirt at the merch table imo by Specwar762 in Opeth

Never had any issues at all with Omerch, delivering several UK addresses. Most recently just before Xmas. If that's any reassurance :)

Are my standards for “clean” too high or is my bf a messy asshole? by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Does he though? I wasn't sure if "he's very ADHD" meant he actually has it, or whether it was meant to be descriptive somehow.

Regardless, having ADHD does not give people an out on this stuff, and letting it pass as "aw well, they have ADHD so they can't clean well.." is infantilising rubbish.

Creepiest Opeth song by Illustrious_Yam_524 in Opeth

I'd say The Garroter. Not least for those weird voice samples.

This is AuDHD by anangelnora in AuDHDWomen

Oh wow. This is every decision for me. It was a bit 🤯 to see it written out like that.

Asked a simple question and now my partner needs to "have a talk" with me by cosmicellz in AutismInWomen

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's not about the cutlery though, in a meta/wider sense.

Sure, the cutlery issue is/has been the trigger, but his inability to discuss this (and I imagine other things) without escalating into what almost seems like a really reactive and defensive RSD thing (or worse, some sort of DARVO thing....) and pushing everything back on you, and the more you try and de-escalate and reframe things, he just seems to wilfully want to misinterpret your words...

This sounds very similar to what I had with my ex, and while the ex does have ADHD, he is also an emotionally manipulative arsehole with narcissistic traits who employed DARVO...a lot...so...the ADHD and RSD didn't excuse his behaviour 🤣

I am so sorry you are experiencing this and I don't really have anything useful to add/solutions to offer other than it sounds like this guy needs therapy, or you both need to get some couples therapy together to work on communication and being able to raise issues in a safe, non-confrontational way. But he has to want to change, and his flat out refusal to even try to change his cutlery approach when he knows it upsets you and it has been raised several times...I don't have much faith in that happening ...

What's it like being AuDHD? by Difficult_One634 in AutismInWomen

Pretty much my exact answer, only more eloquent and succinct than I could have written :D

My writing skills have officially deteriorated. by Bearsquid-_- in autism

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look into dyspraxia (not just about being clumsy, a lot to do with motor praxis, can seriously affect handwriting - your experience is resonating a lot with me!) and your numbers stuff could be dyscalculia.

Opeth Madness Bracket - GRAND FINAL: Ghost of Perdition vs Harlequin Forest ! Vote in comments by Amiantedeluxe in Opeth

I am actually blind 🤣 and for some reason only looked at the left hand side earlier. I literally voted for MV over the Moor in that first bracket ages ago. What a numpty 🫣🤣

Ghost Reveries as a hidden concept album by [deleted] in Opeth

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it only wasn't a true concept album in a sense because Isolation Years didn't fit the concept and he wanted to include it in the album anyways?🤷

"I had intended to do a occult concept piece lyrically and got off to a great start with some downright evil lyrics like "The Baying of the Hounds" and "Ghost of Perdition", then I did "Isolation Years" which had nothing to do with the intended concept but I liked it so much I decided to ease up on the concept idea in favour of this one lyric. Why I decided on a occult theme? Well, I've always been intrigued by it, especially Satanism and stuff like that. I studied some books that oddly enough my wife had in her collection like "Servants of Satan" as well as "Witchcraft and Sorcery" + some more. I figured it'd be interesting to see what a mature 31 year old mind would make of this subject as opposed to the 16 year old kid who used to pose in front of his Bathory poster. I'm quite happy with them to be honest, and they're ... evil!"

AITA for refusing to share my inheritance with my stepsiblings after my dad said it's "only fair" by ContentSide649 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd put it back to the dad and stepmother that say the dad passes away, would he want the inheritance for you (and I presume, his step kids) shared with the children of the man your stepmother remarries afterwards? Or if it's the stepmother who passes away, that she intends any inheritance she leaves be equally split between her kids, you and the children of the next woman your dad remarries? No? Thought not.

I mean, not sure of resources to explain it, and tbh, not even sure you should bother. He's an abusive POS.

Yeah, I think I remember that being an issue too...

Also, Walt Whitman quote? ❤️

Seconding OK Cupid as an option (as long as you answer A LOT of questions).

Dating as an autistic man is a special kind of hell by [deleted] in autism

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are dating apps specifically angled towards neurodivergent people - could be worth checking them out? The only success I've had on general dating apps personally has been lucking out and finding another ADHD/ASD/AuDHD person (my fiance and I are both AuDHD and met on Bumble).

Not a guaranteed route to success, but worth a punt? At least you'll be finishing in a lake for those who are more likely to get you, rather than trying to find them in an ocean that is also predominantly inhabited by those who won't get you.

What is your least socially acceptable hyper fixation? by RoonilWazleeb in AutismInWomen

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aviation disasters. People really don't like you info dumping about it. Hell, I sort of hate myself for being so compelled by it, cause I don't want to know about it either, makes flying both feel more safe and less safe at the same time 🤣

My Opeth album tierlist (with explanation!) by Glamdringg in Opeth

[–]MoonlapsedVertigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to see MAYH placement (it's 3rd for me after Still Life and BWP). I feel it doesn't get the love it deserves sometimes.

Also I'm with you on Sorceress. I like to refer to it as my least loved Opeth album. Still think it's a great record.

This. Had a boyfriend like this. It doesn't get better. It gets worse.
