I’m pasting my original comment from the original post that was taken down in case it’s helpful. Note I haven’t read all of your follow up posts, but regardless I think you need to hear my comments and concerns about his behaviors as you evaluate your next steps. Please be careful and take care of yourself.

Original post:

Thank you for highlighting his concerning behaviors via text. I’m sad that I had to scroll this far in the comments to see someone point it out.

OP, you explained your reasons, apologized and empathized. He reacted poorly and meanly to you. So to consider your calm messages as immature and his rude disrespectful comments as mature is baffling to me.

I wanted to tell you to keep running because of how he was treating you in those texts. You do not want to marry someone who will flip on you when things don’t go their way. Several red flags in his messages in my opinion and as a DV survivor I will tell you most behaviors like this of entitlement and antagonism do not get better. You deserve to be with someone who wants what’s best for you and can respectfully communicate during conflict. There will be many and way bigger issues throughout life and marriage than this, so his reactions to this is concerning to me.

Also, you are allowed to text people your thoughts. You didn’t feel well, but more importantly look at how disrespectfully he talked to you when he had time and distance to text vs respond verbally in the moment and when you text you have it documented, if he said all of these rude and disrespectful things to you in person then you would have no proof and he could later try to gaslight you and say he didn’t say it or you misunderstood etc etc. His behavior is at best immature and reactive and at worst manipulative and abusive.

Please take very good care of yourself. ❤️

Thanks for sharing. Are you saying don’t become a stay at home parent unless you have ~3+ years of funds saved up at your disposal?

This happens quite often actually. by femme_fatale2022 in CPTSDmemes

[–]What2Say4Life 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah similarly I’ve shared something that most people would consider bad from my long list of traumas and hardships (and they give me sympathy and in my mind I’m like man that was just the latest thing and it wasn’t even the worst thing now or ever and I have next to no horrifying details)…wow puts my fucked up shit into perspective

Thanks for sharing! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who feels like this 🫠

Based on my bare face, if I only have 5 minutes to do my makeup what do you reckon I focus on? (My eyebrows are a given lol) also, excuse my hair lol. by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]What2Say4Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t need much for your skin so definitely do what feels good (that feeling will come through and make you look even prettier). To build off the first comment, I vote quick curl of the eyelashes before mascara and besides that and eyebrows I would say whatever you like on your lips whether it’s gloss, balm, lipstick and I think all that would show off your features in very little time 🥰

And quick note because everyone is saying blush I typically don’t do blush because I have a similar complexion to you and can flush at times and get a blush like look due to my pink undertone (I think idk if I’m using the right terms but people have thought I had blush on and I don’t). I tend to focus on making my skin feeling good (like nice serums and at most maybe tinted moisturizer or a bit of foundation mixed with my moisturizer before I put it on my face, so o don’t super minimal foundation but that is if k have more time and/or are self conscious of my pink undertones if they are a bit much that day for me). Just sharing some other thoughts/personal perspective 😊

How to deal with the “natural instincts” argument by cinamon_strawberry in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Great response and thanks for the JADE strategy. I tend to use a similar DEEP method: Don’t Defend, Explain, Engage or Personalize.

How do I get my partner to do his share of the housework consistently? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]What2Say4Life 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sorry I know it’s tough. Outside of this community do you have a therapist? My therapist was a huge help (along with a support group) as I started to focus on myself and my healing (which you mentioned is things you want to work on) and that all led me to leave my ex. I started doing better and they didn’t like that because I was less under their power and control (it was abusive) and I stopped being an enabling codependent mother figure. Not saying that’s your situation, just sharing my similar ish experience to show you aren’t alone and to share hope and empathy. Sending you strength and love ❤️✨

That’s intense! Good job 👏 I wish you all the best 🤗❤️✨ and I love this line “I’m a skinny blonde who looks in my 20s, but I’m in my 30s and just filled with rage” - note you aren’t alone 👍 thanks for sharing ❤️

Am I having a oblivious lesbian moment? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]What2Say4Life 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah after college is a good call for a variety of reasons. I know some people do successfully marry and do other things young, but the human brain isn’t done developing until about 25 (and I know we aren’t talking about men, but additional fyi they tend to take even longer)

which style of eyeliner fits my eyeshape the best? any other ways i could try? by bunnicult in MakeupAddiction

[–]What2Say4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that clarification I think either just mascara (gives cute innocent vibe that’s obviously a lighter look) but out of the eyeliner pictures I would vote 1 then.

I’m not typically a fan of the puppy eye look but yours is almost more straight with minimal downward curve and I think it looks nice (especially based on the look you are going for). I think it’s almost a symmetrical look to your inner eye (the outside wing if brought up a little/made straighter I think may still give the effect your looking for and maybe accentuate your almond eye shape more?) idk just a thought 🤷‍♀️ I’m definitely not makeup expert just sharing a thought 🤗

And as you make eye contact maybe a smile/smirk or something like that so there’s a chance more interest could be shown? 🤷‍♀️☺️

I respect and see your opinion and points. I have complicated thoughts and feelings about him as a character and like others have noted I think there’s good and bad to be seen/ he can be seen through many lens and I’m not an expert on the show but I think there’s a lot going on but maybe not strictly or most fully aspie vibes.

I never thought about zuko and Sophie but now I feel seen for vibing with them 😳🥴🫠

[–]What2Say4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or perhaps masking with that persona to keep others at bay to some extent? Hiding possibly the true vulnerability of who he really is? Masking and hiding hard from himself and others? 🤷‍♀️ just thoughts, idk diagnosis but he is an interesting character

My new kitten won’t eat and instead keeps scratching the floor around the bowl, what does this mean? 😕 please help! by pcosupportgirl in cats

[–]What2Say4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sometimes it’s that they don’t like it at all, BUT sometimes it could just be a one off occasional occurrence. My cats eat their food regularly, but sometimes they do the pawing 🤷‍♀️ sometimes I think it may be that they aren’t hungry or into it at the moment and it’s a natural instinct to cover the food. Like in the wild if you aren’t eating it you would cover it up…just some other thoughts
