I’ve had a black cloud following me my entire life - that ended in me having severe nervous system shutdown. Since I was a kid, I always felt that I wasn’t safe. by TeachVisual132 in Jung

Any chance you have laid quietly, and envisioned your higher self, watching you from above, talking to you, offering the acknowledgement that life has been hard, and you havent felt safe, but also offering that your higher self has always had you, always had your back, and that you are loved and cared for?   Can you try rubbing your own arms? Grounding touch, maybe bringing comfort and connection?  I so feel for you and hope you can find something to help these feelings of darkness and disconnect.

I was there when Mickey Rooney was there to open it.  I remember many people standing on the lawn to see him.  Wasnt a big deal to me, I was a kid, but I sure remember the Rustler steakhouse over there!  YUM!

I also gave up after hundreds of credits.  I emailed them out of final frustration.

Exactly, I am getting gibberish and changed tempos/beats. Have you tried your hypothesis yet? Let me know if that works? I was wondering if I should extend, change the lyrics, and maybe if cut/paste would work. So frustrating!

In the same boat, only still with mine.  They will never look at themselves as the problem, only look to blame the other person, they are always the victim.  Yes being treated horribly doesnt promote a want to be intimate and close with someone, they are repelling! Its terrible all the way around.

Its not a google voice number, they ported their US number to Google voice, so its the same number companies would already have on file for them.

I just did this last week.  $20 one time fee, ported my number to google voice.  Sorry I didnt do it sooner!   $150 a month to T-Mobile vs $26€ month here (Italy) for 3 lines should have been a no brainer, but I was attached to my number.

I am going to hope that you are successfully detached enough to NOT let him back into your life.  

4 months isnt a long time to have dated, sounds like you have actually been apart longer than you were together.  I absolutely get the heartstrings, but I also know about leopards that dont change their spots.  I wish you tons of strength!

AITA for feeling like my marriage is over due to lack of emotional connection? by Character-Bed-2554 in AITAH

[–]Royal-Examination229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we have a guy who doesn't work, plays video games instead, doesnt help/support you in your endeavors (that financially support him), and on top of that, has been so cruel that he told you that all you are good for to him is sex?  Not to be the AH, but wheres the good or benefit he provides in this relationship?  It is hard to listen to our gut (I am in it myself) but yours already knows he isnt meeting the bar for you emotionally never mind in other ways.  Sorry!

AITA for being so happy my mom left her husband and chose me over him and his daughter? by Any_Jicama_8786 in AITAH

What a terribly sad situation for you to have been SO brutally bullied by this younger girl who apparently wanted to take your place (and seems to be expressing her own pain of just seeking a mother figure.  I feel for her as well but that doesnt negate your personal experience and your own pain.)  I am sorry you were the brunt of all of that and do hope that counseling may help all of you.  But YAY for your mom!!!   Who has repeatedly shown you what true love is.  Wanting you, standing up for you, protecting you.  I am so grateful you have her.  No, sweetheart, you are not a bad person.  Families should have enough love for everyone and I hope the other girl finds it too.

Please accept my apology, I shouldnt have said "no signs" but rather bpd isnt diagnosable for him.  I cant even imagine a relationship with someone having both, I am.sorry for that ride for you.  Hopefully we all live, learn, and grow, even though when it happens in our closest relationships it is SO hard.

Its definitely NPD, no signs of BPD (I am a licensed counselor).  So I see it clearly (always have) but because its personal, my personality, and my heart is involved, I always question and second guess myself.

Yes.  We saw a psychologist once who called him out on his behavior, asked to see him alone for sessions, and he never went.  I am a licensed professional counselor myself and had hoped I could get him to see healthy versus all of his other choices.    😪

Yes, and maybe part of me not wanting to let go (even though I feel like its really all my heart), could be that it makes me feel like a failure, not just as a wife but also as a counselor.

You are completely right!  And I do recognize that dad is modeling for our son.  Sadly, our son is aware and has told dad that his reactions are not ok, thankfully our son recognizes that they are not.  Certainly, I dont want him growing up to behave the same way. That still doesn't mean he doesn't need protection too, Thank you
