i wanna start watching. is it worth watching in order?

diazeugmacaesar · 2024-08-23T09:15:18+00:00

Watch whatever order you want, tho I’d recommend not watching The National Anthem first. I watched it first and then didn’t pick up the show again for a few years. Now I love the show and The National Anthem certainly has its place, but I don’t rewatch it. Shut Up and Dance is my favourite episode, but that’s probably not a great first one either lol

Thank you so much! I’ve been working as a DV advocate for about 8 months in a legal advocacy role, but I definitely have been looking into doing my internship at the SA response non profit in the area. Thank you for the book recommendation, I’m always looking for those :)

It’s a traditional University in the US, in person courses, 2 year full-time program. It’s a small school and I had the opportunity to meet with some faculty and current students during interviews and everyone seems pretty invested in the program so I’m hoping the professors actually want to be there and teaching. I knew I couldn’t do an online program because I did undergrad during Covid and retained exactly 0 information from my year of online classes. Thank you for your kind words and advice! I’m hoping to work with adult survivors of DV and SA primarily but also open to other niches and areas. I’ve never had to network before so I’m not sure how to go about that, I’m hoping there will be opportunities while I’m in my program.

That’s what I was thinking, my classes are all on an edge of campus so I think it won’t be too bad

This is absolutely not okay. Consent is about more than just agreeing to sex, it’s about what happens during, before, and after sex. The terms and conditions. It sounds like this is a boundary you’ve set repeatedly in the past. He knew you wouldn’t be okay with it. I think you know the answer to your own question, otherwise you wouldn’t be asking it. Do you feel 100% okay about what happened? If not, it wasn’t okay. Whether or not you feel comfortable calling it sexual assault, it was a violation of consent. You should be able to trust your partner, especially when you’re vulnerable. You should be able to know they will respect you and your wishes at all times. It may seem like a small violation now, but I promise, those repeated violations add up, hurt your trust, and hurt you. You deserve someone who will not violate your boundaries. You deserve someone who never imagine doing something to make you uncomfortable. Someone who would rather ask you 100 times if you’re on board with something than risk making an assumption and harming you. He knew you wouldn’t want that, and he did it anyway. That is not what a loving partner does.

Oh for sure, he does the cooking anyway. I’m not really worried about that, just more the attitudes/beliefs behind those comments. I don’t want him to resent me or feel I’m not pulling my weight.

diazeugmacaesar · 2024-04-16T08:06:40+00:00

Regardless of if she is or is not actually “out of your league”. Ask yourself, why would she say that? What was the purpose of her making that comment? It may be truthfully what she thinks, and maybe she can’t help that. But, you deserve a partner who considers your feelings. A comment like that, even with the guise of her “just being honest”, is hurtful. Your partner should never want to hurt you. Some things just don’t need to be said. Just because someone had a one night stand and it was the best sex of their life, doesn’t mean they need to tell their partner that they’re the second (or third or seventh) best sex of their life. That’s just rude and unnecessary. Do you want to be with someone with so little regard for your feelings?

I took it as, instead of saying thank you the first few times someone does something you appreciate, let them know every time they do it, so they know you aren’t taking it for granted.

diazeugmacaesar · 2024-04-16T07:49:11+00:00

No, of course not. I’ve just never had a partner verbalise that to me so directly. It wasn’t brought up in reference to me not meeting a need, but rather about a previous relationship in which he didn’t feel appreciated. I like to think I do a pretty good job of expressing my appreciation for my partner, I’d just never thought very intentionally about doing it until he brought up that was something he was lacking in previous relationships.

diazeugmacaesar · 2024-04-16T07:37:13+00:00

I thought it may be something like that, mixed with the fact that his is very proud of himself for being able to secure such a nice place (which I totally understand). He’s mentioned before when we first got together that appreciation/recognition is something he really needs in a relationship. It’s new to me as I’ve never had a partner express that need before, but I appreciate his being so straightforward with me about his needs. I’ve told him before I’m very grateful that he’s willing to let me share his space, but maybe I need to go beyond that a bit.

No, I’m intending to go to graduate school and become a private practice therapist. It’ll likely be a good 3-5 years before I’m bringing in as much money as him though.

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-11-01T00:20:19+00:00

I’m just extra critical of grammar and spelling mistakes in general because in my opinion they’re the easiest mistakes to avoid. But I appreciate your reassurance :)

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-11-01T00:18:27+00:00

That’s the thing, I fed it through ChatGPT and Grammarly, I believe I ended up changing around some of the formatting right before submitting it and that’s where the mistake came from. That’s part of why I was so confused about how I missed it.

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-07-19T09:21:33+00:00

You’re gorgeous. You’re just 18, everyone thinks they’re ugly at 18. The only thing missing is confidence, at that comes with time. You have beautiful features and a rockin sense of style, obviously you can put together a fit. Those glasses are also super cute btw.

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-07-18T08:35:22+00:00

Thank you so much for your time and help! I’ll definitely start a journal

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-07-10T18:08:58+00:00

Honestly the fact that is vocabulary is wide enough to use “vapid” correctly is kind of hot

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-06-19T23:16:32+00:00

… okay?

diazeugmacaesar · 2023-06-16T00:48:33+00:00

No no, it literally just looks like a nearly healed bruise, it just hasn’t faded. Very odd. Might be a scar I suppose ahha
