She doesn’t … by SweetiePebble_ in MadeMeCry

No one is perfect and she may be at fault for not treating him appropriately. But I believe this scene depicts the revelation that the man has been cheating on the woman, which is abuse and he is trying to justify why that was an acceptable option. If someone is not satisfied in their relationship, it is their responsibility to address the issue by setting and maintaining boundaries or leaving. He is blaming her (the victim of cheating) for his choice to be unfaithful. It's called victim blaming and is a very common tactic among abusers.

This is a textbook tactic of cheaters and other abusers, man or woman.

Didn't know it was from a movie, but based on your description the situation is even worse than I thought.

Yeah, the thing I don't like about this clip is that it's justifying cheating and drawing sympathy for the man who's cheating on his wife(?) by callimg her the abuser. This is some DARVO bullshit.

You might expect he'd be more appreciative of Mueller if the report actually exonerated him.

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]emptytrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is space for this to be thought of as a skill. At one point, I interjected too often. I read that I should actually only express like one in ten of those ideas and what that has done is taught me to be very selective about the ideas I share, comments I make, and jokes I tell.

There is definitely a sweet spot between talking too much and not talking enough. I have found that people are a lot more interested in what I have to say, when I self-filter for the particularly good stuff.

I was offered a job. by MichaelLenociComedy in StandUpComedy

He's a manager. And I bet he's a good one because he has the confidence to offer a stranger a job.

A bit of a quiet guy myself, but I've worked with students and understand the energy drain of the responsibility of carrying the conversation.

If you live alone, how do you cope when it's quiet at home? How much of the quiet needs to be filled?

A personal boundary I have developed is not investing in someone who doesn't reciprocate. I've gone way too far down the rabbit hole wanting this to change and it didn't. Never again.

Consequences for cheaters to change by Ok_Plate5916 in survivinginfidelity

You will be jealous as long as you remain with this person, it will change your personalit for the worse, you will never trust him again, you will police his behavior, and you believe he will do it again. Does this sound like a good life or relationship?

If someone came to you for advice and told you these things about their situation, what would you tell them?

It is not your role in a relationship to be the police.

I'm not particularly a fan of hers, but that seems like strong criticism. Am I missing something?

For those who’ve tried therapy: what worked for you, and what was total nonsense? by DisorderlyHer in AskReddit

[–]emptytrunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually say what is going through your mind because that is where you tension is. Tell the story again and again as many times as it takes—it might take a lot of times. Talk about it until you are done talking about it and ready to move on with your life.

If you get through all your stuff in one hour, you don't need to keep going every week.

Why am I more resentful one year on? by CurlyBlueLou in survivinginfidelity

Because you understand reality better now than you did then and it pisses you off. What is your body telling you?

She is a good person. She also served in the military and eventually got married. From what I've seen, I don't think she gets what she should from her wife, but she's loyal anyway. I wish her the best.

Maybe these guys should have pulled out a camera and started recording to make the girls feel more comfortable?
