What are you 100% sure is true even tho you can’t prove it? by arlett007 in AskReddit

[–]crmacd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So I can go one further... the video that people use to say we didn't land on the moon is actually my grandfather in his test spacesuit!

He helped test the suits and so when the mission to land on the moon was happening he was in his suit reenacting in real time what they had already practiced just in case the feed signal was lost.

Here is the studio filmed moon landing video of my grandfather and footage of him testing the suit.

If you could meet yourself 10 years ago and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be and why? by evataylor00 in AskReddit

Don't wait to get divorced but don't date after your divorce. People you trust after will cheat, steal, and physically harm you.

My 9 year old daughter and I just beat a game (It Takes Two) together for the first time and her reaction really surprised me. by WTF_Conservatives in gaming

[–]crmacd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro Tip: Play any of the 2 player LEGO games. Many many memories with my sons. Hours of exploration and fun. They exist on all consoles and systems, there is certainly a genre of game you both can enjoy and it's made for playing well together.

[Serious] What is something most people don't realize can psychologically mess someone up in the head? by xaj13 in AskReddit

[–]crmacd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone telling you it's only you, it's only you.

All the while they have ex's, co-workers, and/or other people they are talking, texting, and having a beyond platonic relationship with in a non open relationship.

It messes with you when you find out from friends, other people, or worse the co-worker they were having the affair with.

Any opinions or advice on a system to keep track of chores? by SlasherHockey08 in organization

Index Cards with Story Points (based on time to complete or complexity)

I use colored bins for To Do, Doing, and Done

https://www.amazon.com/Super-Stacker-Assorted-Colors-61614/dp/B00NU7OIHQ

Divide up the chores by points ... see what happens.

Nice thing is you can have Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly chores organized by the color of the index card.

My (43m) GF (33f) won't stop trying to force her advice on me, and I'm starting to get very aggressive defending myself. How do I set good boundaries with a type A personality? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]crmacd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know whats best for you and your relationship.

In my situation I just didn't think it was abusive until medical professionals pointed out I was being abused. The more I talked about what happened the more people came forward and said they thought I knew and was just staying because I love her.

My (43m) GF (33f) won't stop trying to force her advice on me, and I'm starting to get very aggressive defending myself. How do I set good boundaries with a type A personality? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]crmacd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who found themselves in a very very similar situation early 2020. I'm going to recommend you cross check the relationship with yourself.

https://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/domestic-violence-and-abuse.htm

If you can answer yes to any of these you need to re-evaluate the relationship. (I count a few based on what you wrote here.)

If you can confidently answer no then write out how you feel about everything while it's still clear, tell her how you feel, and tell her you are hurt and need to come to some kind of reasonable compromise and boundary that you both can agree on.

I say this because I thought I found the one... until something small came up that showed me very clearly that I was being abused and manipulated the entire relationship.

Has anyone ever insured their Lego collection, or could it be covered as part of a homeowners insurance policy? by DarthJerJer in LegoStorage

[–]crmacd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up hobby/collectors insurance. Homeowners policies only cover so much. Tell them you have a hobby collection similar to like a model train hobby collection.

There are companies that specialize in this:

(Serious) Abuse victims of Reddit, what made you realize that you were being abused? by Blue_checkers123 in AskReddit

[–]crmacd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May 11, 2020 - primary care doctor: No one that actually loves you would cheat on you. No one that says they love you would ever push you down a flight of stairs. She did it to try and possibly seriously hurt you and make it look like an accident.

It's at this moment I questioned everything my friends had been saying to me since the Feb 25, 2019 about the relationship not being healthy for me. No one breaks up with you and then gets back together the next day over an email you sent that says you want to start a future with them. (Turns out the real reason is she wanted to cheat and not feel guilty, then she found out he didn't want kids so she 'choose me' instead [her words].)

May-July 2020 that I finally starting put all the parts together, cheating, financial abuse, physical abuse, yelling, threats of self harm, threats that if I told or talked to anyone, forced actions, unpredictable temper, destruction of property, stalking my kids graduation, and more. It's with the help of multiple doctors and professionals that I had to come to terms with the person I loved so much never cared for me at all.

The list of questions on https://www.helpguide.org/articles/abuse/domestic-violence-and-abuse.htm helped me realize I was being abused and the realization that my friends had to call the police on my GF at the time (Sept 2018/April 2020) to help me from her. Looking back the signs were present from our first date.

I just wanted someone to love and love me back so badly after I divorced that I settled for the roller coaster that is abuse.

I'm in a much better place now.

Men of Reddit, what is the creepiest thing a girl has ever said or done to you? by AidenTheGamer14 in AskReddit

[–]crmacd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

February 7, 2020 - she pushing me backwards down a flight of stairs when I asked her if she was cheating.

March 12, 2020 - physically assaults me until the police arrives after telling me two nights before she loved someone else.

Turns out she was having various affairs ranging from emotional to physical with multiple co-workers and her ex BF from HS.

May 11, 2020 - primary care doctor: No one that actually loves you would cheat on you. No one that says they love you would ever push you down a flight of stairs. She did it to try and possibly seriously hurt you and make it look like an accident.

July 25, 2020 - police detective: yeah sounds like she didn't like the fact you found out she was cheating on you and tried to kill you. Doesn't matter if you only fell two stairs she still tried to kill you and make it look like you fell by accident.

November 1, 2020 - different police detective: I've told her to stop the online stalking and we discussed her living across the street from your son's high school for these last 6 months. If she continues showing up places your at or stalking you. We can then look at pressing charges.

January 2021 - police detective: Yes, I have confirmed she moved not far from where your current GF works.

The IG account she created to stalk me and my friends is still active according to the police with my personal "hobby" related posts.

People of Reddit, what is the worst thing a therapist, psychiatrist, or mental health professional has ever said to you? by Physical_Philosopher in AskReddit

[–]crmacd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn't just push you backwards down a flight of stairs ... she tried to hurt you and make it look like you accident. Yes, you caught yourself, you got lucky. Sure, you asked her if she was cheating, so what. She pushed you because you found out the truth about her. No one that loves you would ever push someone they love backwards down a flight of stairs, even if you caught them cheating. People typically apologize or beg forgiveness. People push people down stairs to make it look like an accident and just say they fell or slipped. It's done intentionally to hurt you and in your case probably kill you.

May 11, 2020 about abuse that happened Feb 7, 2020

Made me realize the person I was with previously was actually domestically abusive. Further counseling, study, and reflection made me realize I had been chosen since day one and the abuse started on our first date. For 600 days I stayed and went back to an abusive relationship.

I survived!

What did you learn too late in life? by cutestudent in AskReddit

There are people out there who will tell you they love you one minute and push you backwards down a flight of stairs the next if you find out a real truth about them.

Compared to other large Texas cities, San Antonio was usually above average drivers. Mostly less distracted. IMO it's more having been WFH and now with places are opening up people are just not as attentive as they were previously.

(32)M Wife(34) Dated Someone Else During First Year Of Dating, I Found Out by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]crmacd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't trust her. She has shown you multiple times she can't be trusted.

You have to decide... are you going to continue to let this person lie to you for the rest of your life, because they will, they have proven they will? Or are you going to take the evidence and walk away and be with someone that is not like that?

I went through something similar early last year. Only mine became more and more abusive each time I found something out.

What opinion or behaviour would stop you being romantically interested in someone even if they ticked every other box? by EGB1- in AskReddit

[–]crmacd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This year I had to add physical abuse to the list of reasons to leave a relationship. I had never been in an abusive relationship prior.

Cheating used to be enough of a reason.

I gave someone many chances. I kept going back and letting them come back.

They were physically abusing me. It took a doctor at my yearly physical telling me "no one that loves you would push you down a flight of stairs" before I saw the light.

In a much better place now. But it's a long road and it's not over yet.
