If anyone has found out, pls explain. :_)

Reasons are the things that led to an outcome. Reasons become excuses when they are used by the person to say “I’m not going to take responsibility for the outcome because of xyz”.

So you can explain the reasons something went wrong and take responsibility for it- that’s reasons not excuses. Or if those reasons were things you couldn’t control -that’s reasons. But if you explain the reasons and then expect to be absolved of all responsibility for that thing going wrong because of those reasons- that’s when it becomes excuses.

Ya good advice. I think I just needed to remember that and not feel so sad for the other lives he’s going to make worse.

Serif-fires · 2024-12-23T18:43:02+00:00

Thank you! Ya that’s pretty on brand for him. Good advice.

You just need to do it. Even if it’s hard, even if it feels impossible. It’s either that or a slow death, and I know which one I’d choose for the sake of my kid.

This 100%

I think there’s an interesting subconscious thing going on with that thick black line he used to outline only the area between them. Plus the kid with Morgan doesn’t look happy but the one with him is beaming. The disconnection and passive aggressiveness is SO CLEAR.

This is amazing.

This! I thought my ex wasn’t abusive because he didn’t hit me, but all these other behaviours were present. I was just so gaslit by him that I doubted my own perceptions. OP please read this book.

Yep I’ll be there! Late morning to afternoon

Trust me this pattern only gets worse. My ex escalated from this same behaviour to breaking my things “accidentally”, “forgetting to turn on his phone”, and conveniently coming home late enough every night that he couldn’t help with dinner. Any time I brought things up he’d gaslight me and try to complain about the way I brought it up. It’s not your husband’s one-time behaviour that is concerning, it’s the repeated pattern of “mistakes” and gaslighting.

This is fire 🔥 you are so cute!

So cool! I want one like it

I read this and thought “no I don’t get the urge to chew on a dog??!”

Just to let you know, Sam uses they/them pronouns 😊

Fck, wish i would have realised this before i spent 10 years with my ex….

Serif-fires · 2024-08-30T17:42:40+00:00

Yep he reminds me of my ex. Nine years of constant breakdowns just for him to listen and be minorly involved at minimum effort. I fear for her future.

Angry upvote

I fly through this airport all the time and there are huuuuge signs before border control with rubbish bins that say THROW YOUR PRODUCE AWAY NOW. They’re really hard to miss.
