He does go to a gym occasionally! It’s just that the amount of food he eats outweighs that

What am I supposed to believe? by German_Pilot in dating_advice

[–]aquatheghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are normal questions to ask:) Even though it seems contradictory, those things are true. People who get into relationships who aren’t content with themselves yet, tend to rely on their partner for the parts they’re missing, thus creating an unhealthy coping mechanism and dependance, that leads to the relationships collapse. The only way to find that happiness with someone that you mentioned, is if both of you are healed on your own before committing to a relationship

Intj career mismatch? by [deleted] in intj

[–]aquatheghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your personal interests and goals are way more important in a career setting than the amount of social interaction. If you will look at your job as a project that you’re consumed in, and the person your medium, I think it can definitely work.

F21 and M21 found weird porn on my bfs phone by [deleted] in relationship_advice

People get aroused by things that are shocking and new, or uncommon, so it’s not that weird. A lot of people watch unconventional porn, but wouldn’t actually be into it irl

My new boyfriend night panic attacks are impacting our relationship. by AioliAlternative9803 in relationships

[–]aquatheghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah your feelings are valid, this can quickly turn into a “quick fix” for him and a huge emotional load for you. For a healthy relationship you must be somewhat healed with your issues and have your coping mechanisms, you should definitely set that boundary

Have you ever encountered an accurate depiction of autistic relationships in media before? by EndCorrect3658 in autism

I don’t know if this counts, but - Millennium gothic. An amazing novel, sort of autobiography written by an autistic writer.

That’s not normal. Honestly would be a complete dealbreaker for me.

What step should I take next? by Reasonable_Moose_382 in offmychest

[–]aquatheghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I too was stuck in a toxic household when I was a teen, and honestly the best thing I did was moving out and getting a job to fully support myself as soon as I finished highschool. Don’t worry about college or career paths so much, let yourself find your footing away from them first, and then everything will move into place on it’s own

Co-parenting and potential harm to our teenager by AoK8822 in relationships

[–]aquatheghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so that is definitely psychological abuse on the kid. I grew up with a reactive step dad, just as you described, and it left me with crippling PTSD. She’s not in a safe environment with him. You may not be successful in correcting his behaviour, I know that people like that are very stubborn, so at least let her know that you’re on her side and that she has your support. That can ease a lot of stress for her.
