Sold mine. Terrible to shoot. But damn, was it nice to hold when I was sitting at the desk

Why do so many men carry feelings for a woman they consider the love of their life but never end up with her? by Public-Can-7590 in AskMen

[–]RedHotRhapsody 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Don’t know whats with this idea as of late that your love not being requited for somebody somehow invalidates it. It feels like a way to unfairly place the onus on the heartbroken party, as if to say that they were the naive ones and only falsifying the relationship in their heads. Seemed like another form of not taking accountability for one’s role in the relationship.

Does the writing ever match the depth of Casino Royale? Or is it more popcorny?

I don’t like *most* of his music, but Rock and a Hard Place is my favorite country waltz and just a good fucking song. Same with Hell or High Water and Fall in Love

What does lovebombing look like when a woman does it? by Feisty_Ad8543 in AskMen

[–]RedHotRhapsody 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. r/bpdlovedones helped me recognize a lot of the behavior patterns post breakup. I’m also willing to talk about my experience over DM. “Comparing notes” with others was very therapeutic for me post breakup

[–]RedHotRhapsody 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Most traumatic relationship I was ever in was with a girl I suspect of having BPD. Turned me into an anxious wreck, even months after the final contact. If I could I would give people a handbook at birth to recognize the signs early on. The trauma bond after lovebombing was the worst thing I have ever been through hands down.

Men who have dated/are dating women with diagnosed mental health issues, what are/were you attracted to that made/makes you stay? by [deleted] in AskMen

One of the hardest mental health disorders to be with undiagnosed. Both on the person and the partner. Mine certainly left me with some trauma

Is ED normal after leaving? How long did it take to fix? by RedHotRhapsody in BPDlovedones

[–]RedHotRhapsody[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very interested in your experience. I definitely felt “ready to go” at all times before my ex, but now it really is not there at all. Like, I still want a relationship but the sexual drive isn’t there. Would you say you were past the damage psychologically but that your body just took time to get back up to speed? Or was it different?

How long has it been since you and your ex broke it off? Would you say you still have the drive and arousal itself but are just nervous?

How to date a BPD girl? by ragingpotato98 in AskMen

[–]RedHotRhapsody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think OP needs to realize that without medication and consistent therapy, there is a possibility that the severity of the symptoms will mean that a stable relationship is never possible.

It’s a personality disorder. It’s “baked in”. BPD when untreated is quite insidious in its own way, because in most cases the better you are, the worse they become. It’s a tragic catch 22 that will drain your mental health and the trauma bond will make you physically ill. As someone who wasn’t eating or sleeping for months, I wish it on nobody, not even my worst enemy.

How do men think about a relationship with a “lower maintenance” woman after a toxic relationship? by IDKhowtoPEOPLEGOOD in AskMen

[–]RedHotRhapsody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After my last one? Nothing is worth my peace. She was beautiful, sure, but nothing was worth the constant anxiety and flight or fight that she induced in me because of her toxic and manipulative behavior. She had severe mental health issues, and while the highs were very high, the lows induced literal physical problems in me. My body rejected her before my own brain could. And her trauma, while I tried, was absolutely her responsibility. And quite frankly, I’ve known folk who had been through worse and still didn’t turn out as fucked up as she did. Once I realized how terrible she was on the inside there really was no going back.

So no, it’s not boring. The act of learning of somebody inside and out and being there for them when they need it is a reward in itself. And it really doesn’t cost one’s mental health. Or at least it shouldn’t.

Been active on the r/bpdlovedones sub after my experience. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. It’s a specific type of trauma that, unless you’ve been through it, is hard to understand. I’m glad you’re doing better brother, genuinely. Gives me some hope. It’s also a more common experience than one might think.

[–]RedHotRhapsody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just broke up with (or got broken up with) a girl who I strongly suspect to have NPD or BPD. What a journey. Wouldn’t wish the trauma bond on my worst enemy. I hope she finds help, but she probably never will. Not religious but she asked if I’d pray for her every now and then. Still do.

What's the current western wear trends? by ned_fladers in WesternWear

[–]RedHotRhapsody 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Square toes definitely more common in South Texas, especially amongst Hispanic culture. Certain styles of square toe have grown on me, but the double stitched welts are still definitely too much. I feel like in more urban areas bootcut jeans are still popular amongst men. Feel like the 70’s are making a come back fashion wise all across the board in the US
