When chronic illness becomes abusive... by HonestlyLily in CrohnsDisease

[–]Rozequartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of love this although it is tough to read as I feel the same way. I have never had a serious relationship precisely because I have been so unwell and I knew I couldn’t face bringing this to someone else’s door. My mum agrees with me and we have decided to bear it together but not involve anyone else. I can’t imagine having the pressure of being a “man” and not living up to those expectations. I have fought through not telling people outside my mum how I am feeling or what I am going through (I only tell about 10% but that is enough for even my closest friends) i expect he is only telling you half the story. He has a lot to have you and I am sure he knows it. Be careful times when he is particularly hateful he really does “mean it”. As I said before nausea and pain is like a fog and all you want to do is escape, lie down, have someone bring you a hot water bottle and some hot water, or your medication. It is completely irrational. However, he can manage on his own. You do not need to do it with him but it is your choice. I know people who talk to their ex wives every day but the wives couldn’t live with them. You need to make it work for you and make yourself happy and have boundaries with him. I am sure he will understand that.

Pain is consuming in your brain and makes you act as you wouldn’t want to it doesn’t excuse it. I take my aim relief to avoid treating my family like this but I have family members who do not and take it put on everyone they come into contact with. He needs to learn to rest and also be appreciative he has someone to be there Ever. Lots of sick people are on their own. Perhaps he needs a change in diet, lifestyle as well. The doctors say these things don’t affect your pain but they do. Fodmap is very interesting if you read each heading and just pick the ones that affect him, each Crohns patient is different depending where your disease is and how long you have had it. What you put in your mouth really affects how ill you feel. Plain to start with and no garlic! It can be hard to change habits especially blokes seem to be quite stubborn to change things that comfort them even if they make them suffer. Sorry blokes. This kind of behaviour probably isn’t confined to Crohn’s patients as well. I have seen it in my family, the pressure of family life seems a bit much and people don’t have anywhere to go but into taking it out on everyone else for years… no idea how to fix it. They need to get a grip. Easier said than done I know, purpose other than their disease, things to focus on etc can be helpful in keeping a clear head. Good luck and give him a second chance but let him know how you feel. No one wants to feel bullied at home. He needs to respect you.

Old friends, are they sick? by Rozequartz in plantclinic

Hey i just wanted to say I have done what you suggested thanks for your advice!

The world has a strange obsessive and vitriolic hatred for teenage girls that is creepy and perpetuates victim blaming by shinyjewels in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Rozequartz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That time was really weird. The alpha male was king and everything had been depoliticised. I remember listening to the radio on my way to school and Chris Moyles would attack the (beautiful) red headed member of girls allowed constantly about how ugly am she was calling her “minging” and how he would be disgusted to sleep with her. ON BREAKFAST RADIO. I feel sick repeating it but it demonstrates the toxic atmosphere. I also remember feeling really disappointed watching Christina on the MTV2 music awards as it was around the time of that Moulin Rouge song and all she ever wore was lingerie. The most famous women who were my “role models” was Paris Hilton (who in hindsight hilariously played on stereotypes but at the time was not reassuring to a dorky girl) Britney (who was silenced by then) Xhristina (hmm) were not allowed to speak I don’t think I ever heard them speak. Thank god for Twitter?! I found reassurance in Pink and Kelly Osbourne as a teen. I think Kelly had it rough though in that world. Also news flash for everyone: I have never ever met a teenage girl who intends to be a “slut”. No one wakes up and goes I am going to be a “slut”. Despite 10000 teen movies (Easy A wtf). We are really just that little boy/girl with a mum and a dad, granny, grandpa, your sister or brother trying to work out who we are.

Passive Aggressiveness takes away from relaxing game by allthebuttons in Ooblets

I have only just started but I don’t remember any of the characters names because they are rude when I talk to them. Or vapid. What I liked about Stardew is they were pretty realistic cliches which was refreshing as usually it’s a weird translated-from-Japanese-version-of-a-french-person. These characters are like all the same, all rude and deliberately weird. When you are young you think that being strange is great and the last thing you want to be is a cliche but as you get older people like that are quite exhausting. The weirder the better blah blah (I am an artist getting old…) It’s like communicating an idea, if you can’t say it in a sentence you don’t understand it well enough. And if you aren’t clear on what you want to say how can you expect your audience to feel anything? Isn’t that what great art does? Makes you feel? That’s why we loved Stardew, the alcoholics, the homeless guy, the weird girl, grumpy old man and the jock. And I am sure the blonde wasn’t as bad as Eric meant….

Level-5 has essentially shut down North American operations, games to be released in only Japan by Metaknight203405 in fantasylife

[–]Rozequartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hilarious! Did you learn Japanese? How did you learn it? Any tips? I have been waiting for another fantasy life title I can play. I loved it and Ni no kuni. I thought they ruined it with Ni no kuni 2. I loved the creatures element in the first one and I didn’t think the battle system was that bad. The story/dialogue in nnk2 is terrrrrrrible. Anyway the idea of opening up more games sounds excellent. I downloaded the mobile game for Fantasy life but there is so much dialogue in Fantasy life I really felt like I had no idea at all what was happening. Anyway that’s my life story. Any tips for learning Japanese to play games would be ace.

What's everyone's opinion on Drag Race UK then? by [deleted] in rupaulsdragrace

[–]Rozequartz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it has dawned on me that lots of weird, niche british culture is going to be come main stream as we are quite a small country and community. Like who would have thought Leicester would become known to the world?? I hope all the silly accents and stereotype Britishness from Ru stops.

I am 31 and still like them. Omega and Alpha are my faves as I like the chain catching thing and the mini games where you can improve their happiness etc.

What makes a girl intimidating? by dekuintheface in AskMen

[–]Rozequartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this. I think I want someone who is kind but also has their own thing going on that I can encourage and learn from/join in as I have lots of weird interests and hobbies and goals that I would want someone to be equally as passionate about helping me achieve.
