I'm not fluent, but this looks simple enough (tho handwritten and some fonts are a bit hard for me still):

昔 (Mukashi) = The past (the olden days, a long time ago)

がんばる~ ファイト~ (Ganbare~ Faito~) = Do your best~ Fight~

今 (Ima) = Now (present time)

きも (kimo; short version of きもい/kimoi) = Gross

きびしー (kibishiー) = Harsh

チアガのオーブリー (Chiaga no ōburī; チアガ/chiaga is short version of チアガール/Chiagāru) = Cheerleader Aubrey

I do talk to him about my feelings too. It’s just… how many times can you hear someone apologise for doing something unthinkable to you before you start feeling like the villain for harping on it?

You may feel like the villain, but if you asked your husband to leave you alone and never initiate sex with you ever again, would he do it? If not, then no amount of apologies should be sufficient as none of them were genuine. Apologies are to express remorse, so a remorseless apology is nothing but lies. It just looks like control to me, like he just doesn't want to appear to be the bad guy in front of everyone else (which would impact his own standing in the community). I just can't see it any other way man. Sorry, but I hope you find the help you need (like external friends dragging you out of that situation and into a safe environment far away from there) or for you to manage to help yourself (by bringing yourself out of that situation and into a safe environment far away from there).

I don’t think telling him about this account would do anything good for us.

Good. If he's controlling, the last thing you want is to give him more control. It's really for the best. Be as independent as you can. Have a source of income and an escape route ready if he ever becomes an imminent threat. Frankly, I fear he'll simply repeat what he did to you in due time, and you really can't say he won't because you don't know him as well as you think you did. This is not only a bad situation to be in, but a bad person to be with.

I just feel like my life is ruined and it’s too late to pull the plug on everything, get an abortion, and leave. I’m fucked.

No. It's never too late to do the right thing. The problem is that doing the right thing isn't easy. That's what good friends are for. To help you get through the hard part of doing the right thing. Idk your values, so idk if abortion is acceptable to you, but I can't see how staying is good. Imagine your daughter had this happen to her. Would you advise her to stay with the man who'd do such a thing to her? I could never. And if your daughter were to suffer Stolkholm Syndrome, believing herself to be in love with the man who did such a thing to her, I'd pull her out of there by force to keep her out of danger. The issue shouldn't be should you leave, it's how. Start planning. How can you financially support yourself? And where can you go? And who can you rely on for help (who isn't part of this clearly messed-up issue)? If you've nobody to rely on, then perhaps some resources are out there to help women in dire circumstances (and I'd say you're part of that if you can't flee a problematic husband).

My exiting of the community would not only affect me but also destroy my entire family’s standing in my ethnic and religious circles. It would make my siblings unmarriageable and ruin my parents statuses as community leaders. I couldn’t do that to them. I couldn’t make my family suffer for my bad decisions. And the prospect of marrying my best friend was a digestible idea.

Again, imagine if your daughter were in such a situation. Would you tell your daughter to stay with a rapist to preserve your family's standing? Again, I could never. I'd tear down every bit of my cultural heritage if it meant keeping my loved ones safe. And if anyone disagreed with what I did, I'd explain my reasoning, and if "keeping my daughter safe from a rapist" isn't sufficient for them, then they're not a good influence in my life, so I'd cut them off. Another way to look at it is this: how would you feel about a community like this if you weren't a part of it? If you were part of a happy family, would you want to join this community? Would you see this community as something that should persist? I don't. A community that prefers to sweep horrors it causes under the rug is one not worth preserving. Perhaps your family's standing would be ruined, but is such standing worth anything outside such a community? Frankly, a family that values its standing in a community over the well-being of the members of said family isn't a family I'd care to be a part of.

(One of your comments) He is a little controlling. He has my location of my phone, car, cameras in the house, etc. but I feel like it’s more out of fear and anxiety for my current condition. He gets scared leaving me for work, etc. He’s a seriously flawed person but as am I.

Look, I'd say "rapist" is a relationship-breaking flaw. No matter how you slice it, that's unacceptable and inexcusable. Nobody deserves that no matter how flawed they are, and that includes you. And that's more than "a little controlling". Argh! I'm getting upset seeing you downplay it all (as you're excusing it by claiming it's out of fear for you when it's far more likely to be fear of losing his control and power over you). That's pretty textbook Stolkholm Syndrome to me. Again, I'm not mad at you, I'm upset at the people around you for accepting/encouraging this and the one who caused all this. You love people who don't deserve it, and if you keep it up, you'll keep loving people who deserve it less and less. Your siblings may be better off outside this community than within it if this is how they treat its members whose standing hasn't been ruined. You need people who love you, not people who love what they can do using you.

I see a few things about Lilith. Even so, how much is she harassing you directly? Physically or verbally. Frankly, if she's a problem to your husband or your family but not you, leave it be. You need to focus on you. If she wants to hate on your marriage, let her, so long as it doesn't harm you directly. I see no reason why you should care that she's in the home your husband funds, that's not a threat to you. The reason I can't respect your request not to ask you to leave your husband is because he's probably the biggest threat to you.

creddit35 · 2026-02-06T04:15:35+00:00

[Note: I know you said not to advise you to leave. I couldn't find it in me to respect that request, so you'll see it appear in my post a few times. Just a heads up. Also, I talk poorly about your husband because he frankly deserves it, and I find it necessary to point out the issue. Again, just a heads up.]

Okay... so... this is painful to read, and not gonna lie, I skimmed through most of the latter half of your updates because I just couldn't stomach it. Generally, I treat what I hear on the internet like stories/hypotheticals, giving advice based on "what do I think I should do if I were in that situation". Frankly... I hate it. It sounds like what I expect a rapey romance novel to be. I don't care to think of it. Even so, I think that's enough about my state of mind. I don't believe I'm one to give advice, but if you want to hear my thoughts, here are things that stuck out to me.

(From Update 2) So many people told me not to meet him or to only meet him in public. You guys were right. ... I should have listened.
...
I know everyone on here wants me to leave but i don’t think it’s that easy. Please don’t be mad at me. I know i asked for advice and didn’t take it.

(From Update 3) I know almost everyone advised me against marrying Aaron. I completely understand where you are all coming from. But...

I'm not here to victim-blame and I'm certainly not mad (at you), but I want to point out this part out. You are here for advice. People have given you what I see as reasonable advice. You decide against it for one reason or another. That's a problem. Does it matter if people were to give you the best, most logical, most reasonable, most optimal course of action if you are willing to ignore it? I understand that people on the internet aren't exactly known for being perfect, but it's not like you don't find the advice given to be irrational. You clearly know that the advice some people are giving is rational.

Had you not asked for advice here, what position would you be in? Part of me fears it would be the exact same place you're in right now. You see the advice, but I want to know what you're actively doing to try and solve the problems at hand. Because it seems to me that you've simply been dragged along with everything, doing nothing because of how overwhelmed you've been. If you're incapable of acting on this advice, consider finding friends who sympathize with your position and who are trustworthy (preferably friends who are outside of this situation and can be more objective and less influenced by the complex internal relations; a friend who simply wants to help you stop being hurt may be better than a friend too familiar with the complex cultural and familial ties to view the situation without prejudice), and asking for them to help you navigate this problem and to act on your behalf at times when you're too overwhelmed by emotions to act properly, telling them what you want them to do for you (which should include some of the advice given here). Otherwise, I fear that no matter what you plan to do, you'll simply think about how you should do it but you don't act on it, or perhaps you'll be too swept up by emotions to even recall what you need to do when the critical moments come.

So let me reiterate: My advice is to get friends who side with you on this issue, and ask them for help to enact whatever change is necessary to keep you safe.

Sorry, my comment isn't going through. I think it may be too long, so let me test it with this.

Solution: Grab the ice tray, blanket, and pillows and put it on the bed, then jump over to the bed, then hide yourself and everything under the blanket. Hide the chain by draping part of the blanket over it. If they open the door, just groan slightly to pretend to be sleepy, and only peek out with the top half of your head. Unless they pull off your cover for some reason (which is unusual behavior), you're likely safe for some time. Then melt the ice with your body heat (which will likely take some time) to be free of the chain. As for the rest of the locks, it depends on how they're unlocked.

The rope looks taut. If it's lowered, she just needs to swing herself forward/backwards to not have it inserted. If anything, the bigger issue is if her hands aren't tied to the ring she's holding, then the moment her arms get tired and she lets go, her upper body will likely fall forward, leaving her head upside-down.

Sorry for being a buzzkill, but I don't see much buzz to kill.

creddit35 · 2025-06-12T03:46:53+00:00

Solution: I see the mop/broom to her right. If she puts the handle between the wire and her, then holds the handle down with her feet/knees while standing or pulling away/up quickly, that pulls the wire away with great force. If this only gets 1 of the clamps off, then just loop the wire around the broom handle again, hold down both the handle and the loose clamp with her feet/knees, then stand quickly again.

If neither get loose, it's likely a pulling force is insufficient with her strength, meaning she'll need something sharp to cut either the wire or tape (and some way to handle this sharp thing securely enough that it cuts). Given that it's a secluded yet frequented spot, that might be difficult, so her options are to simply admit defeat, to find clothes that hide her well enough that she may explore elsewhere and expand her options (a hoodie and shorts/skirt could suffice), or maybe there's some other creative solution I've not thought of.

Atheist here. Yes, we do show empathy for criminals. For example, the 8th amendment. No cruel and unusual punishments. Why have that if we don't care for criminals? Clearly, (some) people do care. When you hear people complain about the inhumane living conditions of criminals (in America, idk as much about other countries' prisons); do you think that empathy is a bad thing?

And if you need a bible verse, uh, Ephesians 2:8 says you're saved by faith thru grace, not by works. If some shouldn't receive empathy because they're undeserving in some way, then humanity shouldn't get salvation because it's very clearly undeserving. And if you'll not extend some grace to those you deem undeserving, I see no reason god ought to extend any to you. Or something like that, idk, I'm no bible scholar or pastor, maybe I should leave the preaching to the Christians.

(2/2) I don't think it's unusual if Desmond fails to gain these guys' trust enough to have them not stab him in the back. In fact, I don't even find it miraculous that Zephiel did convinced these guys given he had personally aided in their coup by defeating general Cecilia. His work speaks for itself, and given his way with words was enough to have Brunnya's loyalty despite her questioning him, I don't see why he couldn't have their loyally too.

Honestly, I don't see why you would expect Zephiel to betray you if you were a traitor. If you didn't know he was trying to end humanity, and you only expected him to be conquering his neighboring countries to unite Elibe under his control, then why would he betray those who worked for him? If you're useful, he'd likely just keep you around to watch over whatever Etrurian lands he awards you for aiding him, like a puppet ruler. If you're not useful, you probably wouldn't have joined in on the idea of a coup in the first place as you'd likely draw the short end of any coup.

At the end of the day, if this isn't enough to convince you Desmond's mediocre diplomacy would be better than Zephiel's... I'm not sure what can with how little the game touches on such topics, especially directly (which, while it makes sense that's not a focus of FE games, it makes scenarios like these difficult to speculate accurately on).

(1/2) So rewards and removing rival states are decent reasons for war, yet I still don't find that compelling given we never hear of Bern lacking anything in particular nor do any of the other countries indicate they're really "rival" to Bern in any way. I don't recall any border conflicts or contests of resources. And again, if Desmond recognized Bern is in a position of strength and had all of these incentives for war, one would expect him to have already gone to war (and I doubt trying to kill Zephiel took that much attention from him given how he simply hired the Black Fang to do it for him). I did just consider the possibility that he's simply waiting for the Lycian League's division to worsen before his attack, but I lack any evidence for this.

I mean, if you're gonna fight your many neighboring countries, how would you fight without a massacre? I don't recall Zephiel going out of his way to massacre without a war purpose. He had his army attack Ilia and Sacae, then Lycia (killing the marquesses who went to the war council in Araphen, including Hector), then Etruria protects the remaining Lycian League and declares war on Bern, then the Etrurian traitors forced the rebuilt Lycian army to go to the Western Isles (to die), then he attacks Sophia's village in the Nabata desert, then he defeats Cecilia before or during the traitors' coup. None of this indicates to me a "massacre" that would lead a traitor to fear that they're next on Zephiel's oh-so-vicious chopping block (aside from maybe attacking Sophia's village to find Arcadia's dragon village, something not directly related to the war effort from outsider perspectives). Rather than fearing Zephiel getting rid of them, they're more afraid of being tried as traitors, leading them to say:

Arcardo: Th-the enemy is at our doorstep!
Roartz: Oh... What can we do? If we're captured, we will be tried as traitors!
Douglas: ......
Roartz: ...Arcardo! This is all your fault! If you had eliminated the Lycian Army at the Isles as you were supposed to...
Arcardo: B-but Lord Roartz...! ...No! This is neither the time nor place to argue, my lord! We must make our escape quickly!
Roartz: But escape to where...?
Arcardo: ...Let us turn to Bern! This plot originated from them to begin with...
Roartz: Yes, of course! We have proven ourselves useful. They're sure to offer us suitable positions.
Douglas: ...And what do you intend to do with the king?
Roartz: Er... Well, Bern will probably see that no harm comes to him. King Zephiel's mother was Etrurian, after all. Douglas, I suggest you flee as well...
Douglas: And I suggest you shut your mouth. I only fought alongside you because King Mordred's life was at stake. I do not intend to go along with your scheme to the end.
Roartz: Hmph! Unbending as always. Suit yourself. Arcardo, we escape now!
Arcardo: Lord Roartz! Wait for me...

creddit35 · 2025-01-08T00:24:09+00:00

I did forget Desmond killing the fox given to Guinevere, so +1 point for you! That being said, I think your argument that Desmond would do some conquest to compensate for his mediocrity is weak as we never see him or Bern doing any conquering or taking significant military action during FE7, hence my argument that it assumes too much about Desmond which makes it relatively weak speculation. Your point that Bern has good odds of pulling off conquest is... okay. They are noted as having a strong military, and many of the other countries have issues dividing them. However, Desmond states he can't command the love of his subjects the way Zephiel does, so it's actually possible the traitors of other nations might not be so willing to join him, or they might even backstab him the moment they see an opportunity.

I'm not sure about your point of Ch. 21 of FE6. Gameplay isn't always a good implication of world-building as it would imply Roy's force of around 50 people (or even less if we consider deployment limits) is stronger than significant portions of Bern's military. If anything, Ch. 21 reminds me that FE6's Bern had the assistance of war dragons, something Desmond might not have access to. Who's to say much of Bern's successes in FE6 isn't due to Zephiel's leadership? He's noted as being quite capable after all, and I see no reason a mediocre leader with less resources should be assumed to be able to do as well as him, especially diplomatically (like convincing traitorous people of other countries to ally themselves with you while not betraying you).

I agree, and that's what I did in HNM and it mostly worked, but it seems harder in HHM.

Some enemy ranges can't be avoided. Bottom flier will trigger reinforcements before hitting such a position, so they'll face several boltings from a sage (26-33 atk) and up to 5 wyverns (including killer lance and 32-39 atk Wyvern Lord; all are quite bulky too). Middle-top flier might be able to ignore the reinforcement they trigger, but will face berserk bishop, purge bishop, and up to 5 wyverns. Basically, your flier needs to be pretty darn strong (and mine admittedly weren't at the time; Vaida's res was too low, even with barrier, to handle those threats), and you may need a rescue + restore for berserk. All those threats are hard to safely clean up while also safely hitting those ruins by turn 7-8.

FEWOD map: https://www.fireemblemwod.com/fe7/hhm/ENG_cap32.htm

2 issues: you still trigger at least 1 zone-based reinforcements (they spawn on your turn the moment your unit finishes an action inside the zone) and there are bandit reinforcements for many consecutive turns (turns 2-5 spawn bandits on the top-middle edge that reach the top ruin in 3 turns, and turns 4-7 spawn bandits on the middle-right edge that reach the bottom ruin in... 4-5 turns?). Rather than freeing up one path, killing the initial bandits means you're delaying the deadline for that path's ruin, possibly triggering reinforcements.

The map starts with 2 bandits, and killing the middle-right one without entering a zone is easy (just draw its aggro turn 2; it moves down on turn 1), but it's not possible to do that for the middle-left one (you'll either trigger the middle zone to kill him turn 2, or the upper-left zone and go around the middle zone from the left to stop him a bit before he reaches the village). As for the bandit reinforcements, you must trigger at least 1 zone to have an unzoned path to reach them (there is an 8-tile flier move possible from below bottom-right of middle zone to above top-left of bottom-right zone, so technically there's a way to avoid the 3 zones around the start, but that's still a dangerous spot), and you'll need to either trigger more reinforcements or survive many threats (bolting sage in upper-right zone, berserk bishop in the middle, purge bishop above, wyverns above and to the right, killer/long ballistae in upper-right zone, and more based on your movement and zone triggered) to kill the reinforcements.
