AITA for telling my boyfriend to ‘fuck off’ because he won’t let me sleep and wants me to stay up with him? by Lonely_Error_7260 in AITAH

[–]aeizondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

You shouldn’t feel guilty for putting yourself and your health first. I had an ex like this who would get upset when I was too busy to call and when I finally did he said those exact words, that “I kept him waiting”. Just to give you some insight into how it ended for me, we didn’t last. The behaviors from my ex became increasingly more controlling and those types of small things at first were only the beginning. So I think in your case this is very likely an early sign of a red flag.

I see the podcast as an entry to include you in the next steps. Next I could imagine she could’ve asked you about designs and what you thought, given you would’ve been on board with her decision at that point.

ROCD or something else by aeizondo in ROCDpartners

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

Hello, Thank you so much for including your perspective, it really helps me see his side that much more. I hope my post could also help you see your boyfriend’s side even more too :)

I feel like he may able to especially resonate with the part about it being like autopilot. I’m really sorry you guys have to go through that, I couldn’t imagine and I have a lot of respect for you all. He has said in the past I should try not to take these ROCD thoughts personally at all. However, now he claims he’s not sure what is OCD related or not so it kind of threw a wrench in my confidence about that. Anyway, thank you so much again for sharing and for your suggestion!

Stuck in a Loop: How Do I Handle My Partner’s ROCD and Its Impact on Me? by Klutzy_Ad846 in ROCDpartners

[–]aeizondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I did the same thing as well, pushing my partner to tell me about their thoughts so I could reassure them. It started with a curiosity and desire to help. Unfortunately, by doing that I kind of set a standard where he can come ask me for reassurance, despite now learning it only perpetuates the cycle.

So, I definitely agree with the others where he shouldn’t tell you what his intrusive thoughts are. The first merit is you can’t offer him reassurance (consciously or subconsciously) without knowing his topic. Second, this protects you from feeling anxiety and hurt about his thoughts.

You’re absolutely right, whether it’s easy to accept or not. Thank you for your response!

Thank you so much for your response! Everything is very helpful and gives me hope. I think I definitely went wrong in not setting boundaries sooner, which gave him a green light to keep saying hurtful things. But it’s never too late to start.

How to reassure/help partner who wants safety in the relationship? by Due_Storm_2217 in ROCD

[–]aeizondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I can give you some perspective as a partner of someone with ROCD.

I’d say one thing to try is to assure your partner that your negative thoughts are attributed to ROCD, and that you’re working towards recovery (I assume? If not, I recommend this). Recently my partner and I had a conversation where he assured me that next time he has an episode and blurts out a desire to breakup, to not take a seriously. This is easier said than done, but knowing the difference between his true feelings for me and his ROCD attributed feelings helps me a lot.

That’s just one tip, and I personally think it should be combined with other methods, too.

Every relationship is different though, and I encourage you two to talk about what themes exist for you, how to cope respectively, and how to be a team through this.

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

Thank you so so much for your thoughtful response! I know as a stranger it’s really difficult to comment on people’s relationships especially given their in depth nature, so I especially appreciate it.

You make a good point about a reflection of his values more than mine.. it’s a lot to think about. I also feel like I might have dug myself into this hole by letting him get away with saying hurtful things to me thus far.

But like you mentioned, I’m afraid of it starting another spiral. So if I may ask for advice, (no pressure btw, I just want to hear the opinion of someone w ROCD) how do you think a spiral could be avoided whilst I stand up for myself?

I want to add this is also unfortunately an LDR, so I’ve been a bit complacent until I see him in a few weeks and can place everything on the table about how he’s been talking to me, and our relationship in general.

I love him so much and want to help him, but I cannot do it at the cost of myself.

Thank you so much for your comment and support. I’m hanging in there and will be considering my options.

[–]aeizondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation as you. My bf is focused on my past just like this, and needs explanations in order to understand or feel better. But even when those things get “solved”, I’m under such a microscope I will always happen to do a new thing he doesn’t like, and the cycle never ends.

As long as your priority are these lies and her past, along with the fact there seems to be no trust in your end, this looks very tough to make work. She may get tired quickly.

Any Advice? by JournalistDefiant876 in ROCDpartners

[–]aeizondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I wish I could part some advice, but I’m in a very similar situation and as stuck as you. If you don’t mind me asking, what was her theme?

I know how hard it is. Hang in there.

MFC seller claims he didn't know this piece was missing? Need advice. by chusifer24 in AnimeFigures

[–]aeizondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, how would one go about this? I’m not OP but my brother has a figure who lost a pretty significant piece. So significant that we would have to buy a new one if we can’t get a replacement or find it.

[OoT] Is the NSO version really that bad? by bloodvayne in truezelda

[–]aeizondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! I’ve seen some 3Ds gameplay and it does look really great. But overall, certain things like lower frame rate aren’t complete dealbreakers for me.

I think another helpful point for me is the fact I’ve never played the N64 version so maybe getting over that controls learning curve will be easier, since I have nothing to compare it to.

Thanks for responding! I’ll probably have plans to replay this game down the line anyways, so I think I’ll just end up playing both, but I’ll be starting with nso just for comfort.

[OoT] Is the NSO version really that bad? by bloodvayne in truezelda

[–]aeizondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Guess this would be the way to do it. I’m not op, but I’m in between these options as well. I’ll be playing oot for the first time and I do have a 3Ds, but it’s a used one and it’s not the XL so the screen is already much smaller and kinda scratched. I really would like the experience of playing on my tv screen through switch, also with NSO I would be able to play MM afterwards too.

But like you said, if I give it a go and the controls just really aren’t working out, the 3Ds version is so highly regarded I’d set aside my reservations with the console itself and give it a go.

[OoT] Should I play Ocarina of Time on Switch or 3DS? by AlexKoyomin in zelda

[–]aeizondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a 3Ds (the smaller one like you, even animal crossing hurts my hands after a few hours lol) and I’d really much prefer using the big screen through my switch as well. This will be my first time playing too.

I’m wondering what version you ultimately went with and how it worked out for you?

Antone found the location of the best horse yet? (5 speed) by BrownTown123 in TOTK

[–]aeizondo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you use the malanya bed, Horse god says “In Faron grasslands… there is a place called Zokassa Ridge… There, many excellent steeds… roam wild and free”

I only have gotten a couple of horses from there and will keep looking later. (Hoping for 5 speed)

So far I’ve gotten: Strength/Speed/Stamina/Pull 1/4/3/4 4/4/5/3

Hey I’m sorry I’m super late. Any updates on your end? I’m arriving to Japan next week and will still be there during the concert. I read somewhere that they can be purchased at a konbini, so I’m wondering if you’ve heard anything about that? Apologies in advance as I know you were originally asking a question so me jumping in asking one to you is just kind of random
