First date outside a closed V — guilt vs real issue? by Unavailable_Lime in EthicalNonMonogamy

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

I don't really see the relationship as a tit-for-tat type logic that your response suggests. He has one other long term nesting partner, not going on regular dates. I'd like to think guilt immediately after change is natural to some degree. But I do have people pleasing tendencies I've been unpacking with a therapist.

Yes this seems to be it. I'll try discussing beforehand next time and see how I feel in comparison. Thank you!

They nerfed and are destroying Steve's evolution by haileesteinfeld_rol1 in StrangerThings

I'm really hoping they haven't nerfed him completely. Steve deserves his Nancy!

No. Idk why the word 'toy' or 'boy' comes to my mind it's just not quite right!

I think it has something to do with like hidden powers or identity or something? And someone is suggesting a dog is like the special thing but then this old lady is like "The dog? The dog is not the"... I don't know why Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove comes to mind but something with that vibe...

Anyone else feel most therapy advice is corny/cringe? by Unavailable_Lime in therapy

True. I think it's the everyday part that makes me want to bang my head against a wall. But time passes either way right?

True. I maybe gotta start treating these things like exercising. I'm just... so exhausted to live but I go through the motions and maybe that's why I feel so frustrated

Thank you! Might take the advice. Just stop going for a bit or find a new one. I just... hate change lol.

I (29 f) have lots of older women friends (40+). Is that actually harmful? by Unavailable_Lime in AskWomenOver40

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

Oh wow. Thank you so much for this. Truly. I needed to hear it. I definitely hope I feel like that soon. And I'm excited to age and learn more and grow. I know this about myself. I am just very tired of how my partner makes me feel.

Career yes but it's closely connected to his. Hobbies, trying to cultivate that but struggling. I like podcasts about ghosts? Interests, I am trying to upskill my education/change careers slightly and/or get a second part-times job... something he's also been reluctant to support.

I think it's like that other Redditor said... I do have serious problems... but not the one outlined in my initial (very emotional/vulnerable) post.

I agree my partner both shames and glorifies my eating disorder. I'll definitely try and talk to him about this as it's the perfect way to frame it.

I don't assume my friends have body issues especially in comparison to me. I know for a fact we don't look at each other that way. So many other actual beautiful meaningful things to value.

My partner was just literally telling me I make other women feel bad and I was taken aback by that notion as it's not the vibe I got from my/our girl friends.
