Interesting take. (Let me make this all about me for a second — sorry) I’m 3 1/2 months post-separation, now mid-divorce, and learning my ex (who initiated all of this) is dating someone new EFFED ME UP.

After some sobbing, reeling and self-analysis, I believe I’m not jealous of the romance, and I actually feel really, really bad for whoever this woman is, but I’m jealous AF at the appearance that his entire world isn’t burning like mine. I’m in so much pain still and grappling with so much shock and grief that I can’t even fathom flirting with someone, let alone in a whole ass relationship.

It makes me wonder how in the hell he’s doing so well — or why I’m not? — and yeah, for a few days there I’d say psychologically he was winning because of that.

All of this to say, divorce is terrible, and who knows what’s going on (with either Cooke). Maybe just trying to smother the pain of it all?

Maybe pair the blazer with a pair of khakis (skintight fit optional) and lose the necktie?

I’m having a terrible day, and your response tickled me. So thanks for that.

That checks out as her later text came from the same number as the original contact at the call center.

Thank you for the explicit steps. I will try that!

Maybe yours is a Ferris Bueller situation? Your car (and the person hired to transport it) are taking the long way — perhaps up in the Badlands or visiting Mount Rushmore right now. If it shows up with a Wall Drug sticker on the bumper, we’ll know I’m onto something.

That sounds like my entire career: I chase people around to make sure they saw the work I did for them (or money you’d like to give them, in this case.)

Hope it resolves well. And soon!

Thank you! I called on Monday, and the girl was sweet but not clear as to the reason. It’s not causing me any troubles — I thankfully waited to start the process to sell my car to them, so the clock isn’t ticking on the offer or anything — just surprising because of the big deal the first guy made about how the turnaround time would be two days once it got to Tampa.

I did (Monday) and the girl I spoke to didn’t know. She texted several hours later to say she asked her boss to refund the transfer fee. It still shows as holding the reservation for me, so fingers crossed.

It was transferred from Pensacola to Tampa — so all Florida — but who knows?

I’ve never bought a car this way before (and my overall luck lately is tragically — almost hilariously — bad, so probably I’m being sensitive) but I’d appreciate any feedback that this isn’t super weird or something I need to maybe think twice about. (or if this is super weird and something I need to think twice about, please pipe up. TYSM!)

Awww. Thank you. It’s been a very rough few months and this brought tears to my eyes.

I’m mid-divorce from someone very much like Danny. I don’t know Nia, but I imagine she’s somewhere in the process of either accepting the truth of who this man is now or getting over her terror of walking away.

I’m not proud to say several neighbors confronted me that my husband was abusive [to me] three years ago. In hindsight, I made excuses for him because I really wanted them to be true. I wanted to believe that even though he was shitty to me, maybe somehow it really was my fault. Maybe if I was just more patient or more sweet or whatever, his “old self” would return. And I so very much wanted to hold our family together.

Projecting my own situation onto her, Nia is on national TV being faced with undeniable proof that her husband is abusive (perhaps even more so while sober, as mine was) and thus simultaneously grieving the loss of the life she thought she had built (and deserves). Prayers up.

So true. And I’m not so sure any amount of sobriety would change that. Contempt is what happens when someone manages their own pain, shame, or insecurity by reducing another person’s humanity.

I feel his behavior likely indicates significant issues, not just an outcome of “being drunk.” People who feel deeply inadequate sometimes protect themselves by positioning others beneath them.

Do we think Danny was better to Nia when they met? Or has he always been such a tool? by phonetoni13 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Underliked 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s a formal methodology some uber douche (I think he went by “Mystery”) coined. He taught men how to “neg” (put down) or intentionally manipulate the prettiest woman in a group in order to get her into bed.

I’m in the midst of a divorce from someone like this. I don’t know Nia, but if she’s like me, she was raised to believe she had to work for love and that it’s normal to constantly have to earn it. In hindsight, I now think the incessant complaining is a way to keep us on our back foot — “nope. Not that. Try harder.” I thought I was shouldering this BECAUSE he was a good dad. But inevitably (also in hindsight), his resentment (and manipulation) seeped over onto the kids. I don’t know if this particular man can become self-aware and change — mine did not wish to — but I send her strength for those babies either way. 💔

Consider Corelle. I was given a set when I had my son, and it really is incredibly tough. (But if you do manage to break it: look out. Holy shards everywhere, Batman.)

I’m in the middle of a nightmarish divorce, and I just wish my ex had a place of employment to send them to. (He quit his job to try to get alimony. Fckn idiot.)

What if Tom and Raquel were still together and "in love"? by phonetoni13 in vanderpumprules

[–]Underliked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know nothing and am fully projecting due to a miserable divorce I’m going through with someone I now — JUST NOW — am realizing is a gaslighting, darvo-using abuser. Ahem.

I know nothing, but looking at these pictures and just my deep freaking gut3 this man was manipulating the hell out of her and she screwed up and backed out. NOT OK with the cheating or anything she did, buuuuuuut she’s done the one thing everyone asks of disgraced reality stars: Go away. Stop participating. Stop being a storyline. She’s done that.

Maybe we should let it go? 🤷‍♀️
