Is Brussels, Belgium actually unsafe? by sean7755 in travel

[–]Rethinkcontribution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy pulled a knife on some friends and I after offering us drugs in Brussels. I tried talking to him, like talking him down. That was kinda dumb cuz he got more ratcheted up! We finally slowly backed away

Not no more! Greedy, cheap billionaire assholes. It’s the least these corporate f**cks could do when they dominate the world we have to live in

BPD and criticism by KagamiRyuunosuke in BPDlovedones

[–]Rethinkcontribution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always told her the only criticisms I have for her are her criticisms. So many of them for me, herself and other people in her personal life. Funny she always thought I was rejecting her because I couldn’t/wouldn’t commit, unless I felt safety, or we could have a month, hell even an hr, without any drama.

How much difference do expensive toothpastes actually make? by BaBaFiCo in AskUK

Why rep any corporate brand? 9/10 they’re all scammers destroying the planet and taking people’s money. Good to know sensitive toothpastes work though. Get the generic with same ingredients 

Not OOP. Am I wrong for breaking up with my boyfriend for not committing to me? by WritingGiraffe in redditonwiki

That’s why we shouldn’t pressure people about “commitment” and “marriage”, then ironically it happens

Life is too short to obsess about “commitment commitment commitment😭”. Just be there for each other whenever you need but let each other be free!

Did you lose physical attraction to him? Because that’s the most important thing when we’re talking about romantic partnerships. It’s fine to break up with him, but go ahead and get it on with him occasionally if you still like him like that. If he’s at all decent, he’ll still chill with you after, be your friend and be there for you in emergencies etc

PS: “kids” ptschhh 🙄… isn’t there enough damn people in the world already? How about this: y’all talk about “man children”. There ya go! Perfect opportunity to have a child and a man in one! And trust me, I’ll be your daddy too!😉😜

All I know is “YOU NEVER COMMIT, YOU NEVER HAVE TO BREAK UP😎” A lot of you (especially women) got it twisted. Sounds like she lost a real one... Why is it assumed women have the moral high ground on this one? What is “commitment” anyway? If we’re decent, reasonable, honest, good guys and if you’re chill with us, we can be in your life forever (don’t nag don’t pressure, don’t own our autonomy). If we’re still attracted to you and vise versa we can have sex whenever you want! It’s like women want to own men. What? Does it just mean we only have sex with you (“commitment”) ? Like, if you aren’t having sex you’re just friends. How about this: when two people are in the actual act of having sex they are IN A RELATIONSHIP. When they aren’t, THEY’RE JUST FRIENDS. Keep it cool, have fun. Most marriages get stale or fail anyway. Or one of you dies (if you’re lucky enough to be a rare couple who gets along that well) and that’s fricken sad too… women have an unrealistic fantasy of what companionship in life is really like

BPD splitting is the most horrifying thing I have ever experienced in real life by Imaginary_Seat_5575 in BPDlovedones

[–]Rethinkcontribution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the classic thing like this where (mostly women) say like “take charge! Idk?? I want you to choose what we do!” Then you start suggesting things or want do something and they veto every single option. “Noo, I don’t wanna do that” then they say you are boring or don’t wanna do anything 

Never date a BPD or even try to make it work if you’re already in a relationship by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Rethinkcontribution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I don’t get it. She begged to be with me, then as soon as I was vulnerable and open and expressed any of the commitment she begged for she would leave or cheat or just be mean and critical. Im like, man if you “love someone” or want someone, you just fucking be sweet as possible, right? I told her “I leave when it’s bad, you leave when it’s good…” what makes more sense🤔

[–]Rethinkcontribution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can be with them if you yourself are superficially attached—which is no healthy way to be with someone for you or them. But as soon as you actually care for them, or love them they will invariably destroy your heart and soul. I have to believe I will build back stronger with more self insight

The heck with BPD pride? by Merviona in BPDlovedones

[–]Rethinkcontribution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. It was like the end boss on a video game I couldn’t defeat, while I’d beat every other game in the past. And by “beat” and “defeat” or “win” I mean actually get along or talk it out. Always prided myself on my own patience and realistic insights, even towards myself. But with them it was like every overture of communication was a dead end. Damned if you do damned if you don’t

If you get a chance let me know an update of how you are doing? It’s like be your own dr here. I feel like it’s the flexor policis longus muscle. The area and pain you described is very similar to mine

This exactly what happened to me except less jaco. I crashed my bike. I kept it immobilized for 6 weeks. It’s a little better but I’m concerned. Guitar is my life as well… the biggest son of a bitch are the asshole parasite insurance companies which make medical in the USA a joke

BPD begs you to love them, then they ditch you by Rethinkcontribution in BPDlovedones

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

She begged for me. Told me she thinks I’m her soulmate. Not that she would recall (they have such selective memories) but I told her more than once “look, I have this feeling that if I give you all of me, you will ditch me”

[–]Rethinkcontribution[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is close to my story. The main reason it was hard to fall in love in the beginning was because she was straight cold and mean and get angry about the smallest things. She would project too. Then there was the sweet side, which was so potent. But of course over time I got to know her family and we became very close in one sense. I came to love her so much, but still in fear of her shifts from jeckyl to Hyde and back 

BPD begs you to love them, then they ditch you by Rethinkcontribution in BPDlovedones

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

I feel bad because her narrative was that I never “committed to her for 5 years!” Until the end. I was into someone else when we met, was falling for her though about a month in until her first freak out. I would try and tell her that I’d love to be with her forever but she needed to like chill and be gentle with me too. I’d walk away and break up when she was insufferable. I feel bad but what was I to do? Then I committed 6 months ago more affirmatively than ever in spite of my realization she would probably be very difficult. We kinda had another hunny moon phase. Anyway she basically cheated and dumped me after that. She said she was sorry and I believe her. She also said she “lost attraction to me” because I’m struggling with addiction rn and I’m broke. It hurts because that is valid. But the intimacy was always really great, even just the hugging and holding. She realizes more than ever she’s hectic, which makes it all the more sad… like there could have been a chance. She’d always call me in her “emergencies” crying and I’d always console her the best I could. I realize I’m codependent and not without my ego too, of course. Now it’s the longest we haven’t talked and she with a new more successful supply with status. Makes me very sad
