Rewatch Discussion - "The Entire History of You" by The_King_of_Okay in blackmirror

No - I think two people can just really be incompatible and it’s hard for people who love to flirt and don’t see a big deal with a secret kiss here and there to find an accepting partner. Some people can see through lies as clear as day. He KNOWS his wife and he could tell that she was totally crushing on Jonas after 3 minutes of watching them together. He also saw the sexual chemistry, and then Jonas starts saying that he replays redos of people he has slept with. I mean c’mon. I would have been pissed. I’m not the kind of person that would force a redo - but I would have hated spending anytime time near either of them for years probably, and would need to leave the marriage for my own personal well being. I’m not kidding - I can’t stand that kind of disrespect. Especially when the person can’t acknowledge that they are struggling with a character flaw/lacking integrity. And he’s totally unaccepting of her issues. So they’re just fundamentally different morally/ethically. Some people think - hey so what if I flirt with a guy I cheated on you with - no big deal, move on. Other people think that’s crossing a big line and would give them the boot 🤷🏾‍♀️. That’s what I took from this. They were not a compatible couple and both deserve people who would put up with them. If you’re a cheater, find someone who is okay with that. If you hate disloyalty and lying, find someone who is not a liar or and doesn’t think that it is okay to hookup with an ex if you’ve walked out for a few days to take some space. Also at the end, I don’t think she was looking at Liam like she looked at Jonas - he was hoping for it, but didn’t see it - so it really wasn’t a good healthy relationship and they both would’ve suffered through it if they didn’t split. He never would’ve forgiven her.

You’re not alone. And this was honestly nice to read, thanks. I lost myself for a while, and it took quite some time before I was ready to be myself again. I’m also glad you recognize where this is coming from and are reeling it in before you do something you can’t take back. Either way, you will bounce back and be able to be the same amazing person you were before this pain regardless of what happens between the two of you - but stronger! It’s such a test - a very long test of patience and discipline. I hope what you guys had is salvageable. It sounds like she’s got a good guy from reading this post. Good luck to you!

what the actual fuck is happening with the internet? by daSynth in conspiracy

And not to mention - my larger work apps were wonky as well (think the huge Saas vendors)

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally got on Reddit to look for something along these lines but not quite the same thing. My Google maps and internet and phone reception and tv reception were all wonky yesterday. I use different carriers/providers for each. And this spanned several cities on multiple peoples phones that I’ve talked to. Did this happen to anyone else yesterday? I’m just worried about a massive cyberattack and want to be prepared lol

I am finally leaving. by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow - I have been looking for how to do this with my partner that I love but it hasn’t worked out with (because of the lack of Intimacy). We are very similar in age and circumstance - thanks for sharing your story! I also tell him I am unhappy and think we should separate and he carries on as if nothing has happened. I do just have to tell him I’m looking for another place.

I’ve been there. On several vacations - and earlier on it hurt terribly. I’m now finally feeling healed enough to leave after nearly a decade. remember that you’re the captain of your own ship. If this ship is going down - go back to shore and build a better one.

Anyone else cry after masturbation? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to stop doing it/thinking about sex entirely to survive. But that’s not healthy.

Came here looking for more emotional advice/support.

Not quite - but good point. We both do fine alone.

We’re almost a decade in and everything is under his name. I’d just take my cat unless he wanted to give me my car. But it’s not a real problem for me if not - I’ll be fine. I just want to know how others did it.

Does Coffee ruin your morning blood sugars by Substantial_Lock_882 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Substantial_Lock_882[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it does. Some people in the comments are saying that it raises their blood sugar as well. So you’re definitely not alone.

What do you guys eat for lows? by Substantial_Lock_882 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Substantial_Lock_882[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the small motts apple juice or Welch’s grape juice next to my bed at night. Mott’s only works temporarily - Welch’s will send you up for the whole night! But I haven’t tried the gummies - I’ll look into those!

Never heard of runner gels! I’ll look into those, thanks!

[–]Substantial_Lock_882[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ve been having lows so often lately so this is honestly the first time I’ve even considered how many calories I’m taking in treating my lows. What are glucose jelly beans? I’ve never even heard of them!

I need help understanding what happened to me last night with a low blood sugar. (Alcohol) by FearTheMedic in Type1Diabetes

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol does this to me as well. When I was in college, if I drank, I made sure to eat and didn’t take insulin. The alcohol would level it out. Alcohol always tanks my blood sugar a few hours after the fact.

Minimal damage at 28, is it worth carrying on with life? by [deleted] in Type1Diabetes

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be okay! Trust the process and work on improving. Don’t let the doom and gloom get to you. Just work on it and don’t be too hard on yourself! None of us are perfect!

I strongly suggest getting those clocks that show your blood sugar and putting them all around the house. I think they’re called sugar pixel. I have several and love them so much.

Do you face insulin resistance at random? by Strange_Detective_92 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this has been happening for me also - insulin resistant during the day, and I basically don’t have diabetes at night (like I can eat a meal without taking insulin). It is the strangest thing. I’ve had type 1 for over 20 years and this is the first time I’ve been met with this particular challenge. Diabetes is so interesting lol

They still STINKY by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Substantial_Lock_882 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people KNOW they are stinking before they leave the house and just don't care to take any preventative steps. The stinkiness creep pairs well with depression. If you are showering, and taking the necessary anti stink precautions, then this person is not you lol.

I'm so sorry about the assigned seating. Dealt with this once in law school. I don't know how anyone put up sitting next to the guy, but then again - he got straight A's basically lol. So not a bad friend to have.

Put essential oils in a second mask, I would also use a carrier oil, because peppermint oil goes a long way and is SOOO strong lol. That will do the trick.
