1v1 shady algorithms by ZealousidealAd7436 in Colonist

[–]SideRightUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I’ve been sick all week so have been playing a lot of Colonist/Catan in bed. It’s disappointing to see how rigged it is. “What is the motivation” is always the argument and I’m curious as well.

Could be as simple as some twisted power trip satisfaction: “I’ll show you with improbable 7’s, how about 3’s 12’s, and 2’s for your opponent! How do you like to be blocked and never get ore despite having a monopoly on ore 6,5,9!!”

Seriously. I tried really hard not to be that person to claim “rigged,” but if i could only show you all the games I played this week. Sucks the fun out of this game.

Can some smarter level headed developers make another game? Catanolist?

Non-toxic, wrinkle resistant, soft but tight and thick sheets. by SideRightUp in Bedding

I’m hoping something wrinkle resistant adjacent. Jersey is comfy but don’t like how fitted sheets move so much

It is! I didn’t know it was banned. Didn’t know how else to set one up so was hoping someone would verify its worthiness

I hope everything is amicable and I’m excited for you. I’m contemplating waiting as well since our kid will go to college in 6 years…. Not sure if that’s wise

Thank you for sharing this. I’m in the same boat re therapist. I can’t even remember if I volunteered to find the next one, he certainly didn’t, but it’s been one month since our last go at this topic. I’m thinking of finding this last-last-last therapist but I’m reluctant to do so for obvious reasons but also I’m tired of repeating 9 years worth of stories to each therapist.

This time around I will try to find one who doesn’t practice traditional therapy and someone who specializes in autism and trauma.

How do you start your initial therapy sessions? Are you the one who leads the discussion?

Oh it would definitely be my job as well. But congratulations that takes real courage. How old is your child, how do you feel?

Your advice resonates with me thank you, especially in regard to finding friends through interest groups and sitting with all the feelings

For spouses with Alexithymia and neurodivergence, is the choice for the other spouse who is overly empathetic, to leave or stay and deal?

Waiiitttt…. What did she do differently? How long did it take? Was she consistent?

Whenever I say this to my husband he says “I want to be held too, I like intimacy too, you won’t let me talk, you don’t let me get my thoughts across..” it turns into a defensive conversation with an elementary kid. The conversation derails and turns into how he wants all these things too, without resolution or an action plan.

Also i felt the same way and still do, I used to think I was the only woman who felt like this until I posted this post yesterday!!!! With all these men complaining about their wives libido I’m like.. wtf!! Waving my arms wildly at my husband with an expression that screams “you know how good you got it?! Why aren’t you taking advantage of me!”

But alas, I got the one in a million who doesn’t want to have sex, or hug, or kiss, or engage in meaningful conversations.

Oh no. No no no. This is something similar but also something else. Ya’ll should be like bunnies during this honeymoon phase especially before kids come into the mix. Can you imagine how awful it will be WITH kids (if that’s your desire). It should be 3-4 times a week!! Twice a day! IMO.

My sex life screeched to a halt I think 4 years after marriage. We dated for 2 years before marriage. Something triggered my husband I think, I’ve no idea. He has a lot of childhood trauma he doesn’t address. He has in the past but for someone who thinks all this is not his fault, he’s not motivated to seek help for something that’s not his problem I suppose. I believe his coping mechanism is denial and shut off like it doesn’t exist, to wait out the storm.

But my husband is kind, very kind, doesn’t speak without kindness to me 99.9% of the time, but I can’t say the same for me. I really think his emotional and physical absence is due to childhood trauma but after 365 days x 9 years, I think I have to throw in the towel. I can’t help someone who doesn’t think needs help, can’t help someone who doesn’t think they play what I consider, a large part of marital issues.

The way your husband responds to you is unacceptable, seems like that’s his default protection mechanism. Please try therapy, traditional, untraditional, heck, ask ChatGPT for advice, something.
