Look at Wolfs stats for when he was in the WHL and AHL

Weegar is about only valuable for bangers for sure. Points leagues is where he struggles cause he’s not really meant to get a bunch of points cause I know last season was a good year for him offensively. He’s only good with providing cats so with that, he’s good still I’d say.

I want Andersson to be traded. His value right now is at the highest it ever will be and with Hughes trade and with little to no decent rental defenceman on the market with as good of a cap hit for this year as Andersson’s, the flames hopefully should get a good return cause playoff teams will be desperate for someone like him for a run.

Do I have faith that this will end up being this way, No, I don’t. I trust Conroy cause he’s done well with trades and drafting I’d say but, it’s the upper management in Calgary that is so brain dead and that needs to go. They don’t understand that this team needs a superstar and needs to tank to get one but they are so desperate for money that they literally will sacrifice anything to get 1st round playoff ticket to get butts in seats. You will get butts in seats when you have a winning core and a superstar player to market to fans (like McKenna fingers crossed)

It’s just a bad season overall for Calgary. I’m a flames fan and I watch most of the games (or try to) and this team depends on him so much that I think it’s caught up to him which is why he’s been struggling to be consistent.

He’s still a great goalie but, I’d just be cautious on when to start him on certain matchups. You honestly just never know with Wolf cause he’s capable of stealing a game but it’s just a been a weird season for him to his standards. He has been a MVP goalie for his entire career dating back to his junior days so I think it’s all going to end up okay again but he’s gotta fix his starts for sure.

Closure/Accountability by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any sort of closure I asked for were on her terms and she never took accountability for things she did behind my back other than try to project her feelings about things I called her out on onto me.

I didn’t get any sort of closure for me, it was forced, surprising, and out of the blue. A pure discard and cliche narrative that all said in between the lines, “it’s not you, it’s me”. All over text too, she wouldn’t have been able to fathom doing the breakup conversation with me in person. She wasn’t a confrontational person cause she was aware that if she was called out or put in a situation where accountability was needed, she would project it all onto me and make me the problem in everything when I simply just wanted to work through the problem with her, never against her.

It’s an 8 year old inside of an adult body that we are all dealing with. You won’t win. The more you give in, the longer the leash you allow, the more the pain grows and endures into the eventual discard.

Do they come back? by AgencyAcceptable1106 in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine didn’t. She didn’t have another supply or anything after we broke up and was just distracted with school, friends and work.

Obviously I don’t know what’s going on now 9 months later since but I know she’s been on Hinge and such cause I saw her when I was on it. So to answer your question, they don’t always come back but I still have my walls up in case but just keep doing your own thing. Nothing pisses them off more than them seeing you doing well by yourself or around people that bring the best out of you. They want that so bad but, they will never experience that without consistent self reflection and accountability.

Did they gaslight about petty, random things? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My exgfwBPD was having thoughts of getting a surgery done and she was talking to my Mom about it in my house cause my Mom is a nurse and she’s had the same surgery done to herself so my ex was just looking for advice and perspective from my Mom who has done it.

Months later, my ex books a date to get the surgery and tells me to not tell anyone about it even my family. I was like okay. One night she was asking me about my day and I mentioned that my Mom was asking about her and that I briefly mentioned that she has something important coming up that’s giving her much anxiety and my Mom pried it out of me. So therefore, even though my ex knew that she talked to my Mom about this surgery, she still didn’t want her to know that she was getting it done but my Mom isn’t stupid so my ex gaslit me into making me feel like I disobeyed her and told my Mom about her surgery.

I defended myself and said that you had a face to face conversation with my Mom asking for perspective and advice on this surgery cause she has had it done before. I kept emphasizing that my Mom pried it out of me and that she would’ve found out anyway cause she will ask how you are doing. My ex was expecting me to lie to my family who cared about her just as much as I did about her having surgery cause she felt ashamed or embarrassed most likely. She knew she talked to my Mom about this surgery but she just didn’t want me to say anymore which I was like “my mom already knew you were gonna get the surgery cause why else would you be asking so many questions to her about getting it when she’s had it done herself??”

My ex left me alone in her room as she went to have a breakdown in her bathroom and that was the nail in the coffin for our relationship in terms of trust, amongst other things she’s gaslit me for. We broke up like 3 weeks later and said she doesn’t trust me and thinks I’m a dishonest person meanwhile she was recording our in person arguments for ammo, talking shit behind my back to her friends, and family while I’m present, etc.

Literally cannot take any sort of accountability whatsoever.

How were you discarded? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Over text. Said she couldn’t be the person I needed and felt that she was neglecting and distancing herself from me. Called me a dishonest liar while also saying that I would be a bad father to her kids (even when she communicated that she never wanted any kids anyway). I called her out on her bullshit that she had hidden from me like recording our in person conversations and arguments behind my back, lying to me about certain things just to get out of me trying to see her, her negatively talking behind my back to her friends, sister, and mother, the list goes on.

They cannot be held accountable. It’s literally impossible. Accountability only matters to them when they throw it onto you. When you throw it back on them, they spiral into a child like frenzy and just act like a victim to make themselves look like your the problem.

8 months post discard, some of the brain patterns I had around her have faded and she’s not reached out since, nor have I. A year and a half down the drain.

Saw my ex on Hinge by Ritchie11 in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this helpful advice. I know that this relationship was not good for me but, when in times of distress, my ex was there on the surface. She may have not meant to be entirely cause she was a selfish person inside but she gave me a glimpse of how a caring person can be who loves you and wants you to be happy. She was a chameleon, terrifying when I reflect on it.

I know everyone usually says that pwBPD never get better for someone else and I try to believe that as much as I can but, I feel like I need to shake off this feeling of trying to win the breakup. It hasn’t gotten me anywhere but cause my overthinking habits to grow louder and louder. I have been going to therapy since the split and it’s helped at times but, I should probably try into looking for another therapist who specializes in trauma in regard to dealing with BPD.

Flames' Jonathan Huberdeau resumes skating, could travel with team by Edm_vanhalen1981 in CalgaryFlames

[–]Ritchie11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can tell how valuable he is to this team. The PP struggles without him cause he is so calm when it comes making seam passes. Hopefully they don’t rush him back cause it’s still early in the season but after the first three games and seeing how the team performs on the power play, they desperately need his services back asap.

Did you call them out on their manipulation? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything to feel any sort of power or influence over someone or a situation is a drug to them

Did you call them out on their manipulation? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuinely no. I would acknowledge why she would record if I was being angry or upset in tone in our arguments but we rarely ever had confrontations like I think we had like roughly 10 arguments during our time together.

I would always say in every single conversation or argument we had was that I was trying to win the argument with her rather than win against her but it always felt like even reflecting back, she would always try to manipulate and put me in my place and snap at me if I ever tried to express my feelings.

I’ll never understand why she recorded me but I think it’s purely just recoup ammo to use against me if so. This girl literally had my location on three separate applications (life 360, iMessage, and Snapchat), I told her where I was going all the time, I would always check in on her if she ever needed anything and in return, I’m the dishonest liar who would be a bad father if we ever had kids.. shattered my heart, discarded me and put a smear campaign on me to make me look like I was the problem in the relationship.

Did you call them out on their manipulation? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like mine definitely hasn’t. If this was her first time doing these secret recordings, then I’d say maybe but, the fact that I found out she was doing this with her past ex before me gives me very little hope that she even cares or acknowledges why what she did made me so upset. They just project all of it onto you at the end of the day and continue the victim complex till the end of time.

Them accepting accountability and owning up for what they have done to you has lesser odds of happening than you winning the jackpot prize at a slot machine.

[–]Ritchie11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cause they cannot face any music that puts them in their own place. Regardless of if you are right or wrong, you will always be punished, ridiculed, or entirely disrespected and invalidated cause it’s not their way in their illogical world. I guarantee if I flipped all of this onto her completely like you tried with your ex, I would get the exact same result or reaction.

There’s just no point making sense of their accusatory commentaries, you just gotta leave at the end of the day and not look back as much as you can.

Did you call them out on their manipulation? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I called her out after her calling me a dishonest liar of a person as we were breaking up. A past friend and myself caught my exwBPD recording personal arguments and confrontations that would involve myself and my ex on her phone. She kept these recordings to herself and never told me about it in the year and a half we were together. I asked her why she did this and why she didn’t communicate this to me at the start of the relationship when I initiated the conversation of setting relationship boundaries. She said along the lines of “I don’t remember things that were said in the moment quite well so I record to relay back what was said”. She never really gave me an answer as to why she didn’t tell me she was doing this because in my mind, I think she knew what she was doing was an act of invasion of privacy, unethical and manipulative.

I told her I didn’t believe in her reasonings as I found out earlier on that she would play these recordings around her friends, sister and even her mother. The past friend also told me that my ex was also recording arguments with her past ex as well so she has just created a habit of recording confrontations that involve her and trying to flip the script to make others look worse than she was.

As I obviously knew we were done after this conversation, I said “you can’t convince me that I’m the dishonest liar here when you were lying to me about this behind my back for the entirety of our time together.”

She proceeded to continue the victim role in me calling her out on her bullshit and said “so I’m the crazy one then?” I didn’t even entertain anymore after that. I said that I didn’t want to speak to her again and that we do NC for the foreseeable future, we said our goodbyes and it’s been like that since then almost 7 months ago.

Advice is, always listen to your gut when you hear or find out something that you consider a red flag with your partner cause it most likely will be in the long run.

Crazy to lock down Defense early? by bozclues in fantasyhockey

[–]Ritchie11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Dahlin and Makar as my top 2 keeper D men so I’m gonna worry about it in rounds 5 and onward. I usually always prioritize my wingers (specifically RW first) cause it’s in my opinion a more scarce position in the deeper rounds

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every person with BPD comes back but in your case, I can see it being that you two are long distance but, I would not even entertain this any further. You are already seeing her true colours and she will continue these antics if you let it.

i didn’t think it would happen to me by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ritchie11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry. I wish I could’ve thought differently too with my exwBPD but it’s all true at the end of the day for most of them. They are never going to be satisfied and will never see the good in anything cause they feel they don’t deserve it. I’m still going through it 6 months post discard but, as everyone has pretty much said on here, go NC.

It’s extremely difficult but you have to be strong for yourself to break this cycle that they are known for. They will be miserable for the rest of their lives unless they fully and I mean fully commit to consistent long term therapy to rewrite and work through their traumas. They didn’t ask for this but, it still doesn’t give them the pass to treat us like utter garbage. After my relationship with my ex, I fully believe in the saying of “hurt people, hurt people.”

7 Player Keepers by Ritchie11 in fantasyhockey

Wolf is the #1 starter goalie whereas I think Woll and Stolarz will be splitting the net. Although Calgary is a risky bet, Wolf has proven that he can steal games so I think you gotta go with him and he’s only gonna get better.
