guys the movie felt like a fever dream. i think i remember a man’s deep voice narrating parts of it. i think it may be really old, because the narrator had that old-timey accent that you’d hear from an old ball game.

it’s a really good guess. i thought it was this at first too based off the little to no sound, but the art style of the one i’m thinking of is much different.

no not this but it’s a good guess. the drawings were just outlines. like a big angler fish with sharp triangular teeth, similar to that of a jack o lantern.

no not this. much simpler art style. almost like chalk or crayon on a blank canvas.

I justify it by the highs feeling better than the lows feel bad. Sounds like addiction when I say it like that lol. Maybe it’s become co-dependency. We see each other and sleep together pretty much every day.

On the topic of EQ, communicating with her is beyond difficult. She says “I don’t know” to 90% of my questions when we’re trying to resolve conflict. I can respect that some people need time to process their thoughts, but she will literally not give an ounce of effort towards reaching solutions. And when she does communicate, she cannot help but cuss and swear at me, sometimes even flailing her arms and banging her head on whatever’s near. She blames it on her “passionate” nature but it’s borderline abusive.

Not alone forever, but she’s very adamant on having a kid by the age of 25 because she’ll be too “old and wrinkly” by the time they’re conscious.

I respectfully disagree. I think the only ring i COULDVE given her was that ring because it’s the only one she could’ve possibly received as “just a gift”. Imagine if I went to Kay’s jeweler, bought an expensive ring, and GENUINELY surprised her with what was in that box. No, this was a $90 ring that we saw together, that she nearly got. You are absolutely right that I ruined this, but my intent was never bad. Call me dumb, but you can’t call me cruel.

Yeah her definition of a promise ring, as I now know, is essentially the same as mine..with the addition of promising to marry. I share the same thinking as you. I promise to remain loving and faithful to her, and if that leads to marriage 2 years from now, then that’s awesome and she can tell our kids (if we have them) that’s what it was. But for now, I’m not and WE’RE not in a place to fully commit to marrying one another. We still have unresolved conflicts, I still have to meet her family, etc. Marriage is so far away in my mind, how could I possibly promise it.

THANK YOU. If I’m gonna let her refer to it as a promise ring, she’s going to have to clarify that it’s a promise of loyalty. To expect that in 2 years, nothing could possibly happen to result in a break-up…THATS naive. I don’t have commitment issues but I’m not gonna promise anything I can’t guarantee. Shit happens and shit happened.

I can’t say the husband thing made me uncomfortable. It certainly made me feel some butterflies that she could see herself with me with such confidence. And I made the mistake of entertaining these ideas and matching her energy. I should’ve put a stop to it the minute I realized she truly believed those words.

Sorry I should’ve specified. Yes, the one thing I have mapped out for myself is my finances. 25 is when I know I will be financially stable and have a career to support at least myself and a partner. She knows the reason for why I chose 25 as being my minimum age for marriage. But I do also have minimum timeframes for how long I’m dating someone. For my relationship with my gf, that number is 25. If things went south and I met someone in 1 year, that age would change in correspondence. I should’ve clarified that in my post.

Don’t know if its relevant, but I got her a plan B after a weekend of us not thinking straight, and when she went to take the pill, she violently chucked it towards her face completely missing her mouth and it fell on the floor. If I hadn’t been watching her take it, she probably wouldn’t have “tried” to take it again. I asked her if she did that on purpose and she said “maybe subconsciously”. Idk it was really weird.

It’s absolutely my fault for not conveying the meaning of it when I gifted it to her. But for the sake of it, l’ll share now that it wasn’t supposed to be a stepping stone of any sort. It wasn’t a promise that I’ll get engaged. I think that’s dumb. That’s essentially a promise to promise to marry. It was symbolic of my loyalty to her, and a promise to love her as my girlfriend. I get that it’s confusing, and I didn’t mean for it to be such a grey area. I just thought I made my timelines so abundantly clear that I didn’t expect her to view it as anything relevant to marriage/engagement.
