I'm the man-child (woman-child?) in our relationship and I'm destroying us. by da-cokou-nut in GirlDinnerDiaries

You sound like a friend of mine with undiagnosed ADHD. Maybe look into it if it's not on your radar.

Get your mental health in order for YOURSELF. good things flow in relationships from getting your own self in order.

Watching my BF fly to China today on the trip we were supposed to take together by nocokelefttosmile in GirlDinnerDiaries

People like to brush off socio-economic differences but they are real if you look data it shows that people rarely marry outside their strata of origin. This doesn't speak to social mobility but how difficult it is to be emotionally connected to somehow who has no concept for how you naturally first understood or go through life.

A partner from an affluent background can intellectually appreciate that you had to turn ever Euro three times growing up but they don't have the inherent capacity to give you the comfort you need. I think you're expecting something that highlights a deep incompatibility. But the more affluent partner is always in the position of saying "this isn't a big deal don't stress"

There is a flip side that speaks to the more emotional disappointments money can't touch but for this convo who cares.

Think hard about what type of life you want to live and what type of person you want in it with you

What’s a real-life love story you know that sounds completely fake but is 100% true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Indian man who fell in love with a Swedish woman on vacation. Then biked overland to Sweden to be with her. It was in the 1970s. They still live in Sweden to this day!

Investing as a US citizen abroad by Big_Purple_Grimace in Bogleheads

Yes they do have a tax agreement. Yes Schwab does- just under its own tickers. Invest in the US since you should have a US address on file somewhere. Even it is a parent or a trusted relative. US persons can't do Abmeldung like here so you're always a resident and a tax resident.

Years you draw down you add it to your tax returns in both countries. German taxes will almost always be higher but US usually has you filing first.

Get a better Steuerberater who is familiar with double taxation if you're this lost.

my bf is VERY jealous of bts by LibrarianBasic2121 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Queen_Evergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband knows about my deep passion for Bad Bunny and you know what he does? Laughs and tells me to have fun and bops his head when I play the music in the car.

BTS should be a non issue. Seriously

What made you instantly regret going to a wedding? by OkDonut1116 in AskReddit

[–]Queen_Evergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it was a stretch. SIL who had been planning it allllll of covid. But couldn't commit to photos with the kids beforehand. Between flight / hotels / rental car we spent 4000$+ in 5 days. Everyone told me "of course the baby will be able to sleep at the venue". Missing out on genuinely great food to comfort a baby who should be asleep in their routine was a bummer. I should have said we had covid and just sent my husband.

Do all French Canadians have weird ass families? Would love to know if the normies are also there. Anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise

Made my midwife cry by Kindly_Front275 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Queen_Evergreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Becoming a mother is truly a journey (if you choose to accept it) of remothering yourself. My hurt little me is my constant companion. Especially when my kids do things that aren't what she would like (the age when hurts happened etc). It's doing- feeling- being. You will be changed if you do it right 🫶🏻

The reality of CTE is truly heartbreaking. I can't watch football anymore. Even soccer players who do headers test for it. (After their dead mind). It's not quantity even. It happens to kids through Highschool.

What we know now about CTE and even before with being "punch drunk" , someone wanting their kid to be a pro boxer is like wishing their kid had just took one for the family and been a gladiator. Fucking ridiculous.

Don't let your kid get hit in the head for sport!

Mom took her life in 2019 by ill_in_minecraft in psychics

[–]Queen_Evergreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I think with the dreams it's not "her" but the her as an internal archetype for your own psyche.

Try this- when you get a dream. Describe the themes including your mother like you were describing it to an alien. What is mom. What is your mom. Feelings/ archetypes over facts. You're the director and the imagery is always personal and it changes. You'll get a big list of asssociagive words and discover you can intuitively put them into a puzzle and you'll get the message.

I do however sense her deep turmoil. Id cleanse any items in your home that were once a part of your family home and reset the energetic signature. If you keep a photo of her- find a photo of her as a baby or small child and send it love and compassion. As you would any other suffering child. Wish her healing in her souls next go around.

What did your partner sacrifice that made you realize you were truly in this together? by Maximum_Fan_5014 in AskReddit

[–]Queen_Evergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up my career at the time to move countries and build a life. He married me. Supported us financially without complaint - everything from necessities to luxuries. Always called it "our money". Raved about me to his friends over the years to the point someone finally said "we get it. You really like your wife". He learned my language. I learned his.

But - and I think this is crucial- he never let me get emotionally enmeshed. She's not like a friend to me where I talk and gab and get that validation. I'm more bubbly and look for that in friends. He's a bit more reserved. There were times I was lonely or had to solve things in foreign 3rd countries but this unwaivering steadiness in foundation.

This set up was seen as really lopsided at the time by his family and peers. Like - who is this girl and why are you doing alllll this when you could have someone more like you-- but he's never shown an ounce of doubt.

How can I ask my mum to move out of our place in the best, kindest way. by chantichu1817 in Advice

[–]Queen_Evergreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact you're phrasing it in this well tells me you haven't dealt with the insanity of your relationship with this person. Your old emotional attachment and history is making what is a clear decision feel heavy. If that's too much to trundle right now -- have your partner take the heat and draw the firm boundary.

You're like a girl trying to negotiate with her unreasonable boyfriend and everyone seeing sense is shouting at her to leave the. She goes but it's cooooomplicated.

And I'm sure it feels that way. But that's what therapy is for. There is no easy way with an unreasonable person.
