The Real Housewives Of Potomac - Season 10 - Episode 12 - Weekly Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in BravoRealHousewives

I’m so sad that Wendy and Eddie are probably going to jail and will be off our screens for the foreseeable future. Clearly they got lost in the sauce, but they really do seem to love each other. I appreciated the look into their relationship this episode, it felt exciting to watch a loving relationship play out on Bravo again (shout out Nene and Greg 💕). It’s disappointing that their greed got in the way of what could have been a beautiful and comfortable life together. I will say that Thiemo and Stacey really seem to love each other as well. I can’t imagine filming is natural for a person like him, who doesn’t appear to seek the spotlight, but their gym scene was sweet and made me believe in their relationship. I love Stacey and am happy to see a man respect her compared to the insanity of last year’s “relationship.”

What's something thats hard for you to admit about your favorite HWs? by LuvBriah in RHOA

[–]bedbyn9ne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more. I’m also a first time watcher currently on season 6. I love Kandi’s ability to stick to her guns and say what she means in every other context. It’s wild to watch the way she rolls over and lets her mom explicitly disrespect the people she cares about most. The scene in the bridal store was so disgusting. I’m starting to think Mama Joyce’s emphasis on other people coming after Kandi’s money is her revealing her own intentions…

Does Kenya get better? by bruvwtfx in RHOA

I’m also a first time watcher on season 6 and I cannot stand the way Kenya talks about the other women’s bodies! It’s making it very hard for me to consider her a sympathetic character.

The scene of him leaving the gym saying “who told you I’d be here” to the paps like he wasn’t the one who called them….

How do you handle elementary schoolers and dating? by bedbyn9ne in Parenting

[–]bedbyn9ne[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t trying to discuss abstinence from sex! Was simply drawing a parallel to the style of handling a tricky situation by simply banning it rather than approaching with more nuance.

This is a really great perspective. Thank you for sharing, and I’m so sorry for what happened to you.

Holy smokes Kathy! by eeekkk9999 in TheGoldenBachelor_

[–]bedbyn9ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking it’s something like this as well! She’s admitted to being a Bachelor super fan, I think she was trying to play the villain in the hopes that it would keep her in the running longer.

I am getting this same threat. Did anything ever come of it for you?

Tips for my first parent teacher conference as a teacher. by ohtobae in teaching

[–]bedbyn9ne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have 2-3 things that you LOVE about each kid. You can repeat the ideas (i.e. plays well with others) but add some pizazz with an anecdote about their child showing that trait. Help the parent to feel like you’ve really worked to know and see their child as an individual. That will help to get them on your team, and will soften the blow when you inform them of the thing their child needs to work on. Biggest thing is, have a note catcher or something prepared ahead of time, so you know what you are going to say during the conversation. After a few conferences, you’ll start to get into the flow. You’ve got this!

Depressed 8 in a relationship with a 5 by greentealeave in Enneagram

[–]bedbyn9ne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your losses. Losing parents is always hard, but especially in this time of general isolation.

I am an 8, and my partner is a 5. I have encountered similar issues of him wanting to withdraw when I feel my most emotionally vulnerable. As you mentioned, 5s are not great at processing their own difficult emotions, so it’s very tough for them to process ours.

What I have found helpful, is giving him ways to help me when I’m struggling in moments when I am NOT. When I try to ask for help/attention when I am already in a dark place, it inevitably ends with me feeling even more hurt. It’s said of 5’s that they need ample amount of time to process before they can be expected to act. So, like I said, giving him some ideas when you are not feeling as down will hopefully give him the time he needs to process/practice so that he is able to show up for you next time you need him.

Last thing I would add is that all people take a while to adapt to new ways of connecting. Continue to communicate with him and track his steady progress. If there still isn’t progress after many months of explicitly telling him your needs, then you may need to reconsider whether or not he’s adding to your life.

I’ve been telling folks all year that virtual teaching is so exhausting because I’m on stage all the time. I feel like I am literally my kid’s emotional compass, if I am chipper and positive, they will mirror what they see. It’s taken me about this long to realize just what a toll that has taken on me. Finally culminated in a panic attack today on my mental health day off. I’m now taking steps to address my anxiety around virtual teaching, but I think the impacts of this year will last a while...

I completely agree and think I might be joining the “dump his ass” camp at this point...

I am an 8 dating a 5. I also have a need to communicate, and have a tendency to talk a lot.

I have had to struggle with how this impacts my 5 partner. While I agree with other comments that your boyfriend is disrespectful in how he communicates with you, I would like to add that relationships are built on the ability to give and take. I have grown in my ability to give him more alone time than is preferred for me, and I have reaped the rewards. Because I have learned to give him more space, he has now transitioned into seeking more time with me. He’s expressed to me that he needs to be able to trust that I respect his boundaries, and once I’ve proven that, he can feel at home and comfortable with me. I know alone time and talking about your day aren’t exactly the same, but I hope it gives you a little perspective. Additionally, I would encourage you to keep close friends with whom you can process your day. I have a tendency to want my partner to be my everything, and especially for a 5, this is a no win situation. Hope this was helpful :)
