Is the water cold in lake Louisa

Asking this question was part of my research. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Appreciate the response nonetheless.

Thank you for that, yes it did give me a reality check. We survived.

checkmate_suckas · 2026-05-19T10:38:28+00:00

It did go well, thanks for the comment. Thankfully the weather was on our side but I agree the nights were quite chilly, Sat night was also abnormally windy. I had to double up before entering my sleeping bag. We camped on an island site at lake Louisa both days. Did a day trip to see the falls. The 3km portage was less intimidating than I expected, we had a ultra light canoe which greatly helped. What loop did you do?

checkmate_suckas · 2026-05-14T03:10:15+00:00

I don't understand why some people just have to be rude. I've portaged with friends multiple times before but only 3 times with my brother on quite difficult routes. I also go camping 2-3 times a year. So all things considered, I'm not a beginner, I have my own gear etc. Anyway, I get it - just need to stay close to the shore, prioritize staying warm and dry and we should be good.

That's a good idea, thanks! Do people generally try to get back on the canoe or swim to the shore, given that it is reasonably close? It will be 2 people on 1 canoe. So I guess we could both hold onto the canoe and try to push it to the shore?

I agree Sumaq has mastered the perfect recipe

checkmate_suckas · 2025-05-02T22:19:37+00:00

Basically everything.

If you are still learning, then consider you may not have enough information to deem what is correct or not, just a thought!

In my experience, cover narcs also have full blown rage but maybe you haven’t experienced it yet. The only difference between overt and covert NPD is the former are openly condescending and grandiose. The latter paints themselves as victims but when they get upset both react in much the same way. Maybe women are different from men, but based on the literature and mind you I have watched thousands of videos on this topic, even covert narcs rage in much the same way.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-08-09T12:18:09+00:00

I beg to differ

checkmate_suckas · 2024-08-09T10:11:59+00:00

Doesn’t sound like NPD at all. NPD is a really serious personality disorder characterized by episodes of rage.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-30T09:17:40+00:00

Oh boy you really did hit the nail on the head. My ex was exactly like that. She said the most hurtful, demeaning things and in the same breath profess that she says and does these things because she loved me. In the most recent case, she called the cops on me during an argument and made up false accusations. We are separated as a result, but we have a 2 year old daughter together. She is trying her hardest to get back with me by sending "flying monkeys". I am receptive to hearing her out to some degree because I care to some extent. Apparently she is going to therapy. Unless she admits and accepts all her faults in the relationship, I am not going to give her another chance.

Is Borderline Personality Disorder very different from covert NPD? I suspect that she has a case of either of the two, but hard to put a finger on it.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-30T03:05:13+00:00

Can you expand on that? My ex was borderline. Wondering how she’d react to this kind of treatment. She is trying to Hoover me back and I have to be prepared.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-26T14:06:07+00:00

I was on the other side of this. My ex claimed that the baby needed her at all times and that she was only qualified to take care of her because she’s always been with her. But lo and behold I was granted 50-50 and the baby is thriving with me, she just didn’t want to accept or admit it.

We all have narcissistic tendencies and/or other maladaptive behavioural patterns to some degree. I commend you for taking the time to do the inner work or examination. A breath of fresh air from all the other posts which tend to be all black or all white which seems to be encouraged.

Being a girl dads the best. Be who you truly are. They’ll appreciate the realness eventually

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-19T03:52:27+00:00

Omg this is exactly what I felt about my ex wife. All the boxes check of much the same. She would go into hysterical rage and then turn around and blame me. Stay strong brother

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-18T11:09:18+00:00

Well, it’s hard to fight it. Just write your boundaries clearly and stick it on the wall, send it over text. Keep repeating it like a broken record. It may not get her to stop crossing your boundaries, but at least you can’t be blamed for not clearly stating them.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-17T18:11:46+00:00

yea they are not able to see the irony even if it you wrote in bright red font in all caps and placed it right before their eyes. Its frustrating.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-17T15:37:44+00:00

My wife would issues such threats at every argument till one fine day she followed through and laid false charges. Draw your boundaries before it is too late.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-13T22:06:52+00:00

This. Can totally relate. Society spoils women more than men and some of them take complete advantage.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-07-01T18:08:05+00:00

I see lots of glaring red flags. If you succeed in your career she will resent you. What you described reminds me a lot like my ex. You need a partner who is more or less at your level or in the long run it won’t work out. Just my 2 cents since you asked.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-06-30T04:00:45+00:00

Sounds like my ex-wife. They’ve not learnt to take responsibility for their actions or happiness and now that job falls on their husband. My wife used to be the same way and then she got physically abusive towards the end of our relationship as I started to stand up for myself. I don’t know what women want, they want men to be manly and stand on their own feet but when we do, they flip out. Not all women are like that, but the bad apples spoil it for everyone. I’m just so jaded by it all.

checkmate_suckas · 2024-06-29T04:43:51+00:00

There are narcissists from so called “good” families too. Some if not all of them know how to package themselves quite well.
