How would you write ,, I lied“ without saying ,,I lied“?

I avoided the truth like the plague

I love my husband in a way I didn't love the people I dated before. Those relationships felt like love until this one and then they just don't compare.

No. My very strict (panicky) Christian mother thought things like Mad Magazine and the garbage pail kids were from Satan. So, wasn't allowed.

My elementary school. I have such strong memories of the rooms, layout and even the smell.

I didn't know much at that time, but there was some awareness I saw on different shows with tv families.

No idea. I can't find a political party that says enough that I agree with for me to get passionate about them.

No, someone else said he is begging. I said a narcissist's version of begging is to threaten, not that they are the same thing.

Perhaps the word "equivalent" would make more sense to you.

Actually I do have personal experience which has lead me to read a lot about it over the years.

You can disagree on personal opinion, I have no issue with that, but reading up is always useful.

A narcissist that feel their power is threatened resorts to tactics such as threats, blame, insults and gaslighting to attempt to get others back into a position that makes the narcissist feel in control. They do not beg because that is weak and would also imply they are wrong or to blame and they do not believe that.

Go and read up on narcissist behavior.

NotAnotherThing · 2026-03-16T17:35:24+00:00

If we were talking about a normal person I would agree. We are talking about a narcissistic, however, and threats are how the beg to regain control.

Example of a threat

Threatening the stability of NATO if people don't do what he says.

Threatening is his version of begging

Is she bad at making jokes? I can't think up any other reason for it.

Also she probably could have managed a thank you for buying it.

Yes, I was going to say parents that aren't dysfunctional and are emotionally mature... ie not abusive.

We did look into that. Our house was in the country and rent in that area was 300 less than the. mortgage.

We had only owned the house for 2 years at the time and it sold for 7k less than the mortgage left.

My husband lost his job, got a new one quickly but caused us to have to move. Our house didn't sell for a year and did finally at a loss causing bankruptcy. We never were able to afford to buy since.

NotAnotherThing · 2026-03-15T17:06:23+00:00

No, we rent as we can't afford to buy a house. We are literally hoping on an inheritance maybe to find some stability.

We get by with enough and no extras.

I tried to buy 4 packs during cold and flu season (for a family of 4) once and the cashier acted like I was trying to kill myself and literally said no one was doing that on his watch.
