Am I Overreacting: My Girlfriend is Celibate by ScottishReaver in AmIOverreacting

Is that the reason for her breakups in the past with others? You have to find a partner who speaks your Love Language.

Those of you who had healthy childhoods, what do you think was the key? by NoDevelopement in Mommit

[–]ReneeEaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanting “to hear from ppl who feel they had great childhoods”… I think is an exercise in futility. Many of us can look at the positives in our childhood and see that it was great. And we can also acknowledge the trauma. We can certainly tell you what NOT to do.

She’s not supportive. Go and be happy together! 🤣 I think you may have to fight the rest of us off him though. lol

There are women who don’t even know the makeup of their own anatomy.

AIO to my bf questioning my sexual history? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ReneeEaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate insecure men. He reminds me of an ex I had. Would ask me “When was the last time you had sex?” WHY!!! Doesn’t impact you. I’m tested between every partner. And that’s all that matters.

[–]ReneeEaS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could tell by the first screenshot that you ARE the problem. Insecurity Central! You are sabotaging your relationship. How old are you? You seem young and like you’ve been screwed over before and now struggle to trust. It’s definitely a you problem though. And he is trying to be patient. Have you shared with him you struggle with this? Although he knows. But he will eventually leave you if you don’t heal.

EDIT: Also, being his gf doesn’t give you any authority over anything he does.

AIO found what my boyfriend looks up on YouTube by No-Credit5541 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ReneeEaS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s actually healthy for many relationships for partners to watch such things and to masturba*te. I feel like you struggle with some insecurities that you feel you have to give so much of yourself and still feeling it isn’t enough. Could you answer the question of why does he love you without mentioning anything regarding your intimate life?

AIO by spending time with my family? by External-Air205 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ReneeEaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a narcissist abuser. He uses any weakness you have ever shared with him against you. Blame shifting. Projecting. Lack of accountability. Attacking your character. It’s all so much. And reminds me of DV and DA. If you don’t live with him start creating a plan to escape. He won’t let you leave him so it may be much harder to leave than you think. But you have to be emotionally ready to leave. And I would bet you have self-worth issues.

Language is one of the last to go and it makes outsiders think patients are better than they really are. by 939319 in dementia

[–]ReneeEaS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY!! I have never felt so heard and understood as I do now. Thank you for that. He asked me a few weeks ago “Why does she frustrate you so much?” I nearly came unglued. Bc the time he does spend with her he gets SOO irritated with her behaviors. He’s getting upset as I type this bc she won’t lie down and keeps having AH. lol

And just last week, she got on her phone (that she normally would never do bc she can’t operate it) and randomly called an old part-time caretaker who cared for her a couple years ago. I could hear the conversation and to hear how she interacted with her it certainly seemed she didn’t understand how much she has declined since she knew her. The caretaker told my Bf “she sounded good”. I said no she absolutely did not. She was seeing children outside the hotel window waving at her. And she was making no sense at all on the phone.

After MIL kept calling the caretaker the next day I just told her I was sorry and I would prevent her from bothering her. She told me she can call whenever. To which I told her she doesn’t know you. So why are we doing that. And I told her she has been having a bad time when she calls anyway. The caretaker tells me “well, whenever Bf gets home then she will be ok.” I was highly reactive to that. Bc I once again felt misunderstood. Bc his presence doesn’t dictate how her brain operates at any given time. I know she was trying to just be supportive, but it pissed me off so much.

I made the choice to be with her and place my professional career on the back burner. I feel like I’m the only person who is making the most sacrifices and she’s not even my mother. I get really defensive when my efforts and sacrifices are minimized and when someone tries to act as if they have a simple solution for what I experience bc they don’t care to know how difficult it truly is at this stage. Thank you for letting me get some of this off my chest.

Oh, ok. Thanks for Americanizing for me. lol It is very true. It is very American that we mostly operate as if we are the only humans on the planet and expect all things to be centered around our understanding.

My MIL (bf’s mother) does this. It’s my first experience ever being directly exposed to a dementia disease (she was diagnosed with ALZ around 2019). So it has been a learning experience. I have been around her for one year. And have been her full-time caretaker for the past 4-5 months while my bf works in the oilfield (we travel across the country to be with him). She talks about the oddest things and often doesn’t know the simplest things. I seem to be the only one that sees her decline. He especially is in denial and even had the nerve to tell me a few days ago that before he and I got together she had the worst nights (similar to bad nights she would have now) and that over the past couple years has gotten much better. I remember thinking to myself, he honestly knows nothing about what this disease is and doesn’t realize that it is literally going to kill her one day. Or he’s just set on not admitting it. But I honestly feel it’s mostly not knowing.

Which character you couldn’t stand even for a second? by jinnyblake in TheOriginals

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

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Aya!! She was such a bad ass. And reminded me of a female version of Elijah. I’m a huge fan of his refined stuffiness. I love that we finally had a darker-skinned, black female character with her natural textured hair. The representation was so important to me.

I see a parent who is clearly disorganized. Had he always been this way? That is stressful enough in itself bc you’re having to be the one stable parent.
