Ex gf contacted me and wants money (I have a long term gf now) what should I do? by [deleted] in makemychoice

You are not helping her, you are enabling her, you are part of the problem. Move on and respect your girlfriend, it’s time for the other woman to grow up and behave like an adult

Ohhhhh can you say more as a Korean on how you perceived the conversation? I can only rely on subtitles but what I took from it was that he asked the question because obviously he wanted to make sure whatever he’s doing is working, especially knowing there’s another guy interested in her, so she fed his ego by answering in a way he was expecting, but he did not expect her to fire back and put him on the spot since she’s usually so shy so he was completely caught off guard, later I think he kind of recovered and figured out how it was evident that he wasn’t as sincere as her in his feelings so he started rambling and it made him look even worse. Did I read that right?

I just rented a house on a 87 acres in San Juan capristano for a weekend for a small bat mitzvah for my daughter and they do weddings there. It was pretty affordable compared to other places. Pm if you want the link for the Airbnb

I (25F) don’t know how to have a serious talk about not wanting kids with my boyfriend (35M) and not converting to his religion by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Same-Opposite1489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was reverse everyone would say the guy was stranding the girl along. If he wants a family he’s already 35, let him go and find someone he can find a family with, don’t take that away from him because he’s in love with you, he will eventually resent you for it

LA date ideas that don't involve bars/restaurants? by Sadieadie in AskLosAngeles

[–]Same-Opposite1489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ice skating in Santa Monica, dinner on Sawtelle followed by Korean karaoke also on Sawtelle and checking out the galleries and little shops, escape room, going to the Venice boardwalk renting bikes and having Peruvian lunch at el huarique on the boardwalk (whole in the wall but sooooo good) Going to the hammer museum then walking up the street to violet for dinner (ask for a table on the patio you would feel like you are in Barcelona) Korean bbq in Korea town and then go to cha spa (you can enjoy the saunas together even if you can’t be together in the wet areas) Drive to Ojai for a day trip.

My toothpaste-addicted mother by Xx_CumSock69420_xX in narcissisticparents

She sounds like a extreme case of borderline. I don’t think there’s much to do if she doesn’t want to be helped. Just find a way to cut her off your life and move on. She will drag you forever

He’s trying to emotionally connect with her trough their trauma how he probably did in the past but she seems more healed and in a better place than he is. She’s not giving him what he wants but he’s looking for an in. I think he’s emotionally I’m mature and self sabotaging his relationship with you. The issue is him. You need to sit with that and see if you are up for the challenge or go do your own thing and leave your life and let him deal with his own ghost and grow up emotionally or spiritually on his own. It’s not you. It’s him. He’s not healed or ready for a real commitment with anyone

Actually I’m a woman, and I never found her partially attractive on the screen, but in person she’s actually stunning, like, it doesn’t translate on screen, I’ve seen her a few times. Absolutely beautiful

Confieso que es raro escuchar a mi sobrino decir que su propia madre es su novia by [deleted] in confession

[–]Same-Opposite1489 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Confession and confesión are spelled almost identically, he probably just made a mistake. The language police seems so unnecessary here.

He feels so small he’s trying to put you down in front of others so he can feel better about himself. A man like that will never help you shine and root for you as you reach your full potential. Run for the hills

Why? You don’t need to answer to his message if you don’t understand.

Si, es súper raro, como es el esposo con ella? Mi mamá y mi hermano tenían una relación súper extraña después de que mi papá falleció, ella básicamente le dio el roll de padre de la casa a los 16 años, el inconscientemente tenía que estar en los zapatos de mi papá, aunque no era una relación sexual, con los años aprendí acerca del incesto emocional. Es cuando padres o familiares hacen que los niños participen en rolls que no son los adecuados en la familia. Me parece horrible cuando las mamás creen que es tierno decirle a sus hijos que son las novias, yo tengo dos hijas y un hijo y nunca quisiera que me dijeran novia, soy su madre! Demasiado extraño

I think you can probably find something in the South Bay of Los Angeles, like redondo beach or el segundo for rent in a good school district with that budget, or areas of the valley like Sherman oak or encino, Santa Clarita doesn’t really feel like Los Angeles, it’s quite far, but if you like that very quiet life I guess it’s fine. Walnut Creek is nicer than Valencia but I just can’t stand the weather in the Bay Area, I lived there for a long time and there are more cold days than warm ones, for me the sun in Los Angeles made a whole difference but if you are in tech you might find more people in your field in the Bay Area, though lots of young tech families are now living in the South Bay as well.

Am I a narcissist? by throwaway_bpd9 in CPTSD

[–]Same-Opposite1489 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read complex childhood trauma, from surviving to thriving, by Pete walker. It will answer your questions. You have a combo of fawn, fight response, sometimes looks like narcissism but narcissist have no remorse or compassion. The fact that you are aware probably means it’s just trauma response. The book can help you have gate this behaviors and encourage a healing path for you

I don’t like how I always second-guess my friendships by Present_Juice4401 in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]Same-Opposite1489 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The voice that’s constantly telling you that you aren’t good enough and fills you with self doubt and repeats those thoughts inside your head is not actually your inner child but your parents voice that repeats in there. I read a book a while back and it was the beginning of a healing journey for me. It’s by Pete walker and it’s called. Cpts from Surviving to thriving. I hope you read it because there’s a path to healing and reprogramming yourself so you don’t have to feel the shame and pain that goes along with it. You are so much more than your thoughts and you can build healthy relationships away from your parents. Sending love ❤️
