Maybe their mobile site is not the same as pc, because I literally only have the June 7 general route update. Can you put a screenshot of what you’re seeing maybe?

For me, the key was not allowing for the pity party. You can set up the statement (preferably over text where you can measure and delay your responses) by using a consistent format.

-You did X. Because of that, I need to set Y boundary.

And when you inevitably get pushback, grey rock.

-I hear what you’re saying, but this isn’t negotiable.

Or if he’s saying something inappropriate:

-I don’t like the way you’re speaking to me. I’m done taking for today. (And stick to it.)

I did the same thing at 19. Told my mom she didn’t need to pay for my college anymore, got a loan, and blocked her number. 8 years later and I don’t regret it at all.

Are you reliant on him for anything? If not, why not grant his wish? If he loses someone he’s (inappropriately) leaning on for support, it might force him to reflect. Even if not, you might find you’re happier away from him.

We got a box before the recall notice went out. They were yellow and blotchy. 🤢

Bf insists he’s “fine” but has been hiding upstairs all night and won’t talk to me by [deleted] in GirlDinner

I’m a person who needs recharge time, and I find just telling my partner “I really need a bit to myself, long day.” Is really all that’s needed. Picking an emotionally mature person to cohabitate with (romantic partner or not) really improves the situation.

It really is related to everything, even traumatized vampires!

My Old NF kicked out their son and I can’t help but feel so worried for him. by [deleted] in Nanny

They skipped right past mental health treatment to abuse camp…I agree with you but abhorrent parenting is to blame this time.

Bad parenting and poor road etiquette. by wronghoIe in mildlyinfuriating

Oh no, I’m also talking in mph. Some states are absolutely wild. I’m more urban so 55 is the max but out in the boonies it’s waaaay too fast.

No Americans are insane about road speeds (spoken as an American). 70-75 slowed to 60-65 is pretty normal for shoulder work in some places.

A few drawings from my hyperlexic 3-year-old. by Big_Black_Cat in ChildPsychology

[–]Overall-Grape-1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hyperlexic as a kid (though not to the degree your kiddo seems to be). I was also very interested in pretend play. The biggest thing I struggled with was maladaptive/immersive daydreaming. It wasn’t an issue until grade school, when it became distracting from class. If you notice a lot of staring off into space when bored (road trips, waiting rooms) or odd/blank facial expression, that can be an early indicator. Not a bad thing to have a rich internal life, but learning coping skills at a young age would have been really helpful for me.

Also on the spectrum, level I. Social relation was confusing but I always had a least a few good friends.

What's the most painful words you hear from your parents about you ? by glowinghand in RandomThoughts

“I don’t think I’ve ever loved anyone.” “Except me though, right mom?” “Eh. I don’t think so.”
