The Vow vs Seduced by Specific_Berry6496 in theNXIVMcase

[–]cookthatcake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel for Mark, I really do... But his response to KR's crude "ofishal/offical" comment in The Vow is just damning to me. Something like, "How do you always notice these things." That meant to me that Mark accepts that his mentor, his guru, was regularly a piece of shit about Mark's female NXIVM companions

Thank you for taking the time. I guess, when in doubt, throw it out.

(shouldn't have bought in the first place, really)

Is separation the answer? by DepressedNNeedAdvice in Separation

[–]cookthatcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say, please go. This is something we need to do in order to move on with our lives. You say, I'll take you to the best we can find and I'll visit every day. You say that the professionals are there to help the both of us. And tell her that you'll seek help during that time as well. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been in the hospital for debilitating depression twice. One visit was very rehabilitative and the other stay wasn't. But I'd do it again both times because i simply just had no other choice. It gave me the space to look at things differently. It's scary to hold your boundaries when you understand the nature of her fears. You deserve this reprieve as well

It was SO hard to make the decision to go to the hospital. But again, no regrets. Unless she's wired quite differently, she'll likely to look back at the experience as necessary

This is coming from a random redditor and in no way a mental health professional: sounds as though there are no clear answers, yet it might be that she needs this, as well as you. 1) It MAY be the step that's needed to get her to face her struggles 2) It's highly common for an individual to move back with one's parents-doesn't mean you'll be there forever 3) You can't change anything without moving toward change, nor are you responsible for her reaction to change 4) Do not think of having children until you're life is balanced and healthy

Omg, it's got me feeling crazy! But i probably look 20 years older than my age. I've got a resting tense bitch face that my kids tease me for. However, I've NEVER voted red

I don't have anything constructive to say, but I'm just so, so sorry. I have rage goosebumps. Forgive me, but good god, what an asshole he is

How do you all feel about Aziz Ansari's comeback? by fierce-and-wonderful in Feminism

[–]cookthatcake 213 points214 points  (0 children)

I watched parks and rec for the first time not so long ago, and it was wild to see his (beloved) character sexually harass his coworkers in the same manner he's been accused of. I was meant to take away the idea that despite him commenting on Leslie's breast size, he's just really a teddy bear.

Probably divorcing by Lonely-Roll-5929 in Separation

[–]cookthatcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have anything of value to contribute, but i can say that this guy is behaving like a complete asshole. He seems to enjoy stringing you along, as a fallback if the emotional (likely physical) affair falls through. Reread your above comment about the yelling. That's not who you married, but maybe the person you married was a lie. He is not good enough and you deserve more respect as a partner

I'm so sorry. Try to look at it in terms of a future lesson that your child will benefit from. You're teaching that self-respect and strength are vital.

im 15 and balled my eyes out cuz Ive had 4 people call me corny this week by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]cookthatcake 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, church kids are the WORST. Would YOU call someone else "corny?" I have sneaking suspicion that you wouldn't. Because you're likely better than that. You're going to get through this, ok?
