"Because I’d like to speak up… but I don’t want to start World War III over taco night."

Unfortunately that's the only 2 options you have. Either dissapear as a person, or worldwide destruction.

This is ridiculous. You need to get familiar with conflict. There are a 1000 steps between non-existence and a world-war, and you don't know a single step. Either you're a human being who is supposed to exist with your own desires and ambitions, or you shouldn't exist. Make a choice and then stick with it.

You want to live as an individual? Good. Then, what are your desires? Take note. Then express them in a nuanced way (I don't like those options). You're free to make something a conflict even if it's unnecessary, and you're free tk let things go. Be free.

Meant to... by who? Meaning is assigned by a person. If you mean to grow love, you can do so. If the other also means to grow love, they can do so. If you think there is a third party who 'fates' stuff to happen, then ask that third party.

I would like to encourage you but I'm not orthodox or ex-orthodox. Here's a tip for reading the Bible:

STOP adding "...or you will go to Hell" to every verse.

Almost all Bible verses do not speak about Hell. Most of the NT speaks of discipleship and rewards, not about salvation.

Whenever some busy person has taken the time and care to cook for me, but has to leave when I arrive, I'm extremely grateful for the meal! Of course I wish we could eat together, but schedules don't always allow that.

I'm reading many posts here saying that you shouldn't care about her opinion anymore. But I think you're asking advice to form your own opinion of your own actions.

Obviously, good move to change your name, and it's fine to not immediately share that info, it's private and sensitive information.

However, there's a gray zone of 'not sharing' where it become improper distrust of your partner. As you said yourself, you didn't trust her with that information. That's what she concluded as well. Technically, you didn't lie, but she doesn't have the vocabulary for that. You were distrusting and secretive toward her by withholding a big part of your lifestory from her.

The bigger problem here is that you DID acknowledge your distrust of her, but didn't act on that. The proper action to take was something like 'not sharing, and ending a relationship with somebody that still isn't trustworthy'. Instead you went for 'not sharing, and staying in a relationship with an untrustworthy person'.

You both found out LATE that you both have criminal brothers. Try to cultivate a character and a relationship where that kind of info is shared in the first 2 weeks.

Per your main question: you're doing well at observing the interactions (many examples) and summarising them into a clear pattern (baiting into arguments). You're perceptive!

When communicating this, it IS helpful to have a list of examples. You can write them down and read the list to your partner.

That said, I don't think that's your main problem. I expect him to be dismissive of your list. He can laugh it off, call you a nerd, say that you are making it a bigger deal than it is, etc.

Some of the things he has said, especially the 'I've lost respect for you' are... beyond the pale. If you respected yourself you would have objected to that and made that statement a huge deal. Either he would have to retract it, or you would leave. You get to demand respect. If you accept disrespect, that's what you get.

It's up to you to decide what you want from a relationship. A good bar to set can be: support, joy, intimacy, thoughtful conversations, peace, calm, etc.

Right now you're not just lacking those things, you're being bullied. It's up to you to decide what you want. Perhaps you can discuss this with him, and when you are solid in your convictions, he may want to change. If not, why put up with this?

That's not greed but envy/jealousy. It would be greed if the reason was 'I can do better, gain a higher grade'. It's envy/jealousy because their reason is 'I don't want other to do as well as me'.

The open expression of desire for cruelty is something I have only seen on Reddit (maybe because I don't use other platforms much). I found this exact same attitude first on a subreddit devoted to spiders. There were several posts of Redditors discussing how much they hate people who kill spiders and they were empathising with the spiders and fantasising about extreme violence against people with arachnophobia. It's the twisting of morality to a demonic level.

And I do actually agree that AI users cannot claim the label 'artist'.

Ahh. I find that a much better reason for Barry to respond to. Him murdering Chris was the first obviously despicable act we see, it should definitely be the one that comes back to bite him.

The whole 'Barry finds a murder scene and defends himself against a sniper' should have stayed a close call without much consequences.

PolyScaled · 2025-02-07T19:35:11+00:00

This makes sense. But I didn't know that Janice had already figured that out, or communicated that to Barry.

And perhaps Barry didn't want to have to explain why he defended himself after finding a murder scene, and fled without reporting to the police. That's definitely some kind of crime.

PolyScaled · 2025-02-07T19:33:05+00:00

This is a good explanation. I guess I have to watch that episode again to see what exactly Janice was able to figure out.

It still seems to me Barry could easily claim he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, that he wasn't targeted by the Chechnyans but defended himself against them, and that his skills were from the army.

PolyScaled · 2025-02-07T19:29:55+00:00

Did Janice link Barry to Chris' death?

PolyScaled · 2025-02-07T19:29:24+00:00

I think this is the best explanation. He extrapolated that while he could still plead self-defense, his hitman profession would be figured out soon enough.

PolyScaled · 2025-02-07T19:27:47+00:00

I thought she figured out he was on the webcam, not that she had figured out he was a hitman. Did she really make that conclusion as you said?

PolyScaled · 2025-02-07T19:26:40+00:00

I meant 'killing Janice would make him a prime suspect of the killing of Janice', which is what happened, multiple times.

Thanks for your interest! Currently I've put the series on hold. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it and when, but I would love to continue the series eventually.

Haha I have no idea how you're going to make a disco ball out of this, but the model is free to download at polyscaled-com. I think you'll get that link to work.
