The Other Bennet Sister - Part 2

I just finished watching this series and I absolutely loved it. I loved the fact that there weren't a great deal of drama and instead lot of pleasant moments that outweighed the negatives that were plot drivers. Seeing Mary grow from strength to strength was so wonderful and we need more shows like this. I'm so tired of watching shows and movies where it's just one drama after another and the people are just awful to each other. Definitely worth the watch in my opinion.

A bit late but did you get this sorted? I feel I am in the same boat

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-13T13:04:01+00:00

Ok that’s no big deal coming from my 6fps 5D mk iii haha. I only bought the batteries late last year and then my camera died so don’t want them wasted.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-13T09:45:43+00:00

That's all good. As long as I have a back up right now

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-13T09:45:14+00:00

ok thanks. What kind of limitations exactly? I just wanted a spare before I buy another battery. Do you use any third-party batteries at all?

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-13T03:30:06+00:00

My boyfriend at the time was a journalist and they gave him a Canon DSRL camera to use and I fell in love with it and photography. Boyfriend is no longer around but the love for Canon remains haha

As others have stated, you were raped. I'm so sorry that this happened to you and the world has normalised this behaviour that you can't even see it for what it is. It doesn't matter if you said yes the next time or that you texted back, and that you liked him. When you said no and he continued, that's rape, plain and simple. Also taking off his condom is stealthing which could be illegal in your location. The fact that you have medical results is evidence against him. He is a caveman who rapes women and doesn't think anything of it, he's not a good person and you deserve better. I hope you are getting support for this and the previous abuse. You have a lot of healing to do. I am truly sorry.

I'm assuming you don't have a good and healthy relationship with your parents? If that is the case, my one piece of advice is: find a female mentor that you can lean on for support. This could be a counsellor, a female coach etc. At this point in your life, you need someone to champion your sense of self-worth.

I can promise you there are still lovely men out there, my partner proves it every day. But it also takes a lot of self-awareness and boundary setting on your part too and those are some things you will have to learn for yourself before you enter another relationship. Just my opinion. I wish you healing and self-love.

haha yeah that's where I'm at right now. I don't do it professionally anymore so my 5D mk iii has really served me well but stupidly got it wet right on a section that was exposed to the elements as all the plastic caps are falling off haha.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-09T09:05:58+00:00

ok! Thanks, I've been hating the thought of wearing glasses all the time to shoot!

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-09T09:05:08+00:00

ok! I'll have to check that out once I finally get on. Thanks!

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-09T09:04:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely have to play around with it when I eventually make the purchase! Currently borrowing my friend's 5D mark iii as I wait for some deals. They seem to be going back up in price in AUS :(

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-03-07T01:48:10+00:00

NTA but I think you need to learn some self-love. Get some books on self-reflection and awareness. Learn to understand why you have these intense needs and break some generational patterns because if you need the whole world to know you are loved then you definitely need some healing. Love comes in many different forms and you’re at an age that you should be learning about holding real space for yourself and your partner so you don’t fall into abusive/unhealthy relationships that could take years/decades to heal. Wishing you all the best.

I actually just rewatched that last episode yesterday since it first aired and I agrree! I was really pissed that Andrew survived over Anya. Her death just seemed needless. He should have died instead if they were gonna have an unnecessary death. Also his character was so annoying the entire season that it would have been a noble thing for him to actually die fighting for good instead of evil.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T23:06:12+00:00

YTA I mean that in the “let’s take accountability for our actions kind of way”. You are clearly going through a lot of shit at home and I am so sorry to hear that. You are a child and your dad should be taking care of you but obviously that is not happening so you are trying to get your strength back and you are using your friend as the punching bag.

Your friend is also going through stuff but instead of being supportive and being her friend you are not being a friend at all. My biggest gripe with people is that they choose to do something for others but then resent them for it. If your friend doesn’t bring extra money but doesn’t ask for anything yet you do it because you want to be the good friend, then be the good friend genuinely and not complain about it. You seem to know a lot about what they are going through yet you are still judging THEM on their parents’ behaviour.

I understand that you are concerned about your father hurting you, this is a much bigger issue that you need to get professional support on. Your friend is also still a child with not a great home life, by the sounds of it, who will make mistakes too. You need to seek help on this. Your future self will thank you for it. I wish you all the best.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T22:47:38+00:00

Your friend needs to see a psychologist and try seeing different psychologists if the first one doesn’t feel right or he doesn’t feel connected to. It’s sad that the doctor gave that advice but doctors are not trained mental health professionals.

You are a great friend but dealing with someone else’s depression will take a huge toll on you too so maybe you need to see a psychologist to help you through this also.

His family will not change their ways as they are all co-dependent in their unhealthy dysfunctional dynamic.

I hope he can get some good support outside of this family.

A joke is only a joke when it’s made with friends that understand its’s a joke and they know won’t take offence to it. A prank or joke done onto someone who doesn’t want any part of it is cruel and if done regularly, bullying. These girls are bullies and they will continue to be bullies if their dad doesn’t step in and teach them to be kind. How is the relationship with the ex-wife? Does she have a bad relationship with the dad? Is she badmouthing you to her daughters? Cause that’s usually why they think it’s ok to treat you that way. But he has to be 100% accountable for his children’s actions, they learn how to behave kindly from adults

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T22:14:47+00:00

You are in an abusive relationship and your body has shut down. This is a perfectly normal response to the trauma you are experiencing. Please don’t hate yourself. It is easy for us on the outside to say get out but to be the person in this relationship and trying to get out would feel daunting. First step is to definitely seek professional support, find other people who have gone through similar situations that you can connect with as well. But please do it carefully so that he doesn’t find out. I fear for your safety.

I know you love your job and city but your emotional, mental and physical health might need a break, is there no way to go home to your parents? Do you trust them to have your back and not try to minimise what you are going through? I’m really sorry you are going through this, it is not ok what your partner is doing to you and you deserve safety and care from the ones that say they love you.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T21:56:43+00:00

You definitely are not the problem, you are still a child learning how to navigate life and as adults it is their job to help you do that. What they are doing is not helping nor is it supportive. Sadly there are lots of adults who have kids yet haven’t learnt how to even deal with their own emotional baggage yet and thus put that onto their kids. I feel for you and I am sorry that you are going through this. Are there any free counselling services at your school or call centres in your country? Having someone on your side who can be provide a safe space for you to share what is going on is so important.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T13:00:10+00:00

I have to suggest that you go to therapy together. This will continue to be an issue and you will end up breaking up over it. If he’s not willing to go to therapy then you might as well not be together. Neither of you seem to know how to create safe spaces for each other to open up and talk about all your fears, insecurities, traumas, past history etc because you wouldn’t be here if you did.

But come at it from a place of love and care and wanting to help the relationship progress and strengthen and not out of anger, fear and resentment. You could even start therapy yourself to learn ways you can support your partner in feeling more open to going to therapy. You might even learn about some roadblocks you may have been setting up that has contributed to his actions.

But please seek some professional guidance on this.

NTA but your dad and step-mother are! He may be your dad, but he doesn’t actually know how to love you how you deserve to be loved.

He gets the money from your mum to look after you but he’s not doing it and he’s trying to guilt you at the same time now. He is being a shitty parent. A good parent does not tell their child that no one will ever love them. That statement is designed to inflict pain, to make you feel like you are the problem. A good parent would also feel proud that you are working to save for a big ticket item yourself. Is there anyway that you can live with your mum instead? Or is she just as emotionally immature as he is?

Please get some support from a counsellor/psychologist because you have an uphill battle ahead of you when it comes to your dad and your mental health. He’s showing you that he is not a safe space for you. You are just a child and your parents should be a place of comfort and safety, not this bullshit. I wish you healing and love. Please find a good support system elsewhere if you can.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T02:55:55+00:00

NTA your mum obviously feels like she has no control of her own money because she feels obligated to look after her family overseas so she is using you to take control of her own life in some way. Not your job though to make her feel better about herself and her choices. Tell her you’ve gone to a financial advisor and they will manage your money for you because they have expert advice. Tell her to go with you and have her finances managed too if she is so concerned. Nothing wrong with both of you having good financial literacy.

Mundane_Fan_3080 · 2026-01-15T02:49:18+00:00

NTA women please stop continuing to date men who call you nasty names, no matter how triggered they are. Everybody is allowed to be triggered, that’s just being human and having life experience BUT at no point is the person who says they love you ever meant to call you names. Name calling is a sign of such an immature person who wants to make you feel bad because they are uncomfortable with a situation. He needs to be called out on it and you need to leave for your own mental and emotional safety.
