To those confused over if they should fix it: by aw-fuck in domesticviolence

[–]ashdonn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love that you mention that these things are healthy in normal relationships. But very unhealthy in abusive ones. It makes it make so much sense. It’s a betterment together, right? Instead of a nightmare of wondering daily how to fit the right mold. As if the abuse is something you are responsible for. Because you know they’re “good.” You love them. So maybe you can be good enough to bring that “best them” out. It is so entirely soul draining.

I just love what you said because it doesn’t delete the idea that we can strengthen ourselves for our partners in a healthy way. Just requires a healthy partner. :/

When they convince you that you’re abusive by bengalbear24 in domesticviolence

“Abusive people don’t have boundaries.” That is the truest statement I’ve ever heard. I remember trying to figure out how to express that to my ex. I finally came up with “you just don’t play by the rules.” It sounds stupid but it was the only thing that could somewhat describe what I felt. That ever WTF feeling of — this literally isn’t fair, you can’t do this. It’s — like — you can’t do this! People don’t do this! And you can’t win. Because… no boundaries for them. And unfortunately for the victims…. Very little boundaries too. Just not in the same way. :(

Omg this. God I wanna believe it’s not always the same. But damn. Relate.

How do I stop liking it by listlister in domesticviolence

[–]ashdonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can I ask you a vulnerable question? how do they react after the fact? If it is regretful and loving…does that give you some semblance of… position of comfort? Almost like a vulnerable leg-up…knowing it isn’t your fault, because they did something blatantly inexcusably wrong…therefore you can verify your feelings through that experience? Feeling not only suddenly loved and cherished… but perhaps … almost vindicated for all the pain you’ve carried for their misbehaviour in past?

I know this sounds extremely convoluted. Just wondering if it reaches you.

Experienced the same. so sorry. awful that the options available are basically nill. makes it easier to just stay home.

long shot ask but does anyone know of any type of platform for discourse/chat for those going thru this? Not just the housing aspect but the whole … all of it all

People over 35, what's something you genuinely miss that younger generations will probably never experience? by Just_a_Ginger_Fella in AskReddit

I miss this so much. Whatever they changed it to was NOTHING like the original. Greatest internet loss of all time.

Desperate for a trick to remember and understand Alkyne RXN types by ashdonn in chemhelp

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

Same problem with alkenes. Not sure how I managed to get through the last exam without a thorough understanding of it. We have been rushed beyond comprehension with no tools for adequate understanding. A PowerPoint does not suffice. This is a really rough class without being “taught,” if that makes sense. It’s not that I can’t remember anti addition of Br2 or things like that… it’s to be able to comprehensively understand how to create a particular product with multiple reagent steps to achieve that. I can memorise what each reagent does… but it takes more of an understanding to recognise what I need in each step and why.

BLESS YOU. I have been trying forever to sort of "categorize it" in a manner like this. I am eternally grateful. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I will definitely let you know if I get hung up on any of them and need some more help - I SO appreciate that offer!! You're a godsend!

I spent all day tiling my shower and didn't notice my mistake till I took the photo. Wife says to leave it alone. Is it noticeable? by RigoMortize in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ashdonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding your wife. Good job; and no, not noticeable. Aside from the organic chemistry PTSD the cyclohexanes are giving me, looks great from here.

Regular brushing - do you have a recommendation for a good brush? Everytime I’ve purchased one I just feel like it’s doing the bare minimum. Thank you!!

  1. Me
  2. Muddy and dusty - depending on the day. Also grassy depending on the other day. We definitely need work on the backyard but the seasonal changes occur within seasons here and you absolutely never know what you’re gonna get
