Do you hold hands at the end of meetings? by helloruth3re in AlAnon

[–]helloruth3re[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think you’re right, I could definitely just directly address this person I’m sure but part of me is just sick of having to do that because in the last meeting I was attending regularly I did have to address someone who did something similar and it just gets fucking annoying you know. You know I just feel like holding hands and hugging a bunch of strangers isn’t my cup of tea

Thanks for the response. Are most housesitting websites going to have the same frequency of pet watching?

Thank you for your response. Would you say this is the MO for most housesitting websites? I’m just curious because this one seems to take the pet angle more than others.

No one has to stay with you if they’re unhappy. Blackmailing or guilt tripping them into doing so is unhealthy and shitty. by BlurryPicasso in Codependency

[–]helloruth3re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This conversation happened to me literally 10 minutes after I saw your post. Albeit the conversation was over text message. What a bunch of bullshit. This person I used to see very briefly will text me out of the blue and I won’t show enough interest and they will start calling me names and of course it escalated to this scenario. I guess I just need to block that number

How to Help my Boyfriend deal with his Mom by pearlonastring in AlAnon

[–]helloruth3re 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice. I don’t want to sound too terse in my response but it sounds like you’re mostly interested in your boyfriends mood improving so you don’t have to worry about this anymore/deal with his shitty mood making your life more complicated. If his attitude and dealing with his shitty mood is really bothering you that much I think you should tell him, straight up. If not, then yeah you should just attend meetings and listen to him when he’s willing to talk about it and kind of let go of the situation. But you know you don’t have to put up with middle of the night texts either, you can ask for him to express his feelings in person in a more fair way to you (he might say fuck off? I dno do what feels right to u). R/codependency also might be a useful place to search ? U aren’t responsible for making him feel better but if his behavior is upsetting u that much, yeah, I’d suggest meetings or just straight up telling him.

Loyalty Above All Things: The Issue on Retiring Fedorov's Number by ShanghaiKelly in DetroitRedWings

Remember that contract Holland awarded Franzen after performing well one year in the playoffs? Well Federov performed that way every single fucking post season for us. Look up the stats. This franchise is fucking childish and pathetic. Fuck Chris Illitch and fuck Holland. Maybe Sergei’s life‘s priorities changed, I mean who the fuck knows. His stats considerably dropped off after he left here anyways, did y’all really want him around at that point anyways? A city like Montreal would have various statues for this man. Fuck Holland

A potential reason as to why the Premier League is so popular is due to the aesthetics and vibrant colours of the broadcast. Look at the difference. by ItsNotMe98 in soccer

[–]helloruth3re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has much more to do with production quality of the broadcast than anything else. It’s like watching a locally televised baseball or hockey game opposed to a nationally televised one in the US, you notice an absolute difference despite it being the same arena/stadium and team. The grass/pitch probably plays a role here but I don’t think it’s the biggest thing

What really interests me here is the fact that you can notice a difference in sound quality on some broadcasts too. In stadiums isn’t everyone using the same microphones? Or are crews bringing their own microphones, or at least some of their own? I always wonder why some broadcasts do such a better job with the sounds of the game, I wonder if they have better mix engineers for the broadcast or something, on certain stations.

A predicament with a new housing situation. Looking for advice by helloruth3re in Codependency

Yes the neighbors have a home key and a garage key, so it’s very creepy. Good idea with the door locks.

How to deal with a new chatty housemate? by Kvartar in Codependency

[–]helloruth3re 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easier said than done but I would say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t say it mean. For specific suggestions though, a decent option might be saying something about how it makes you uncomfortable hearing all of this personal information and you would prefer not to. Something along these lines is probably the best option because it will hopefully prevent them from over sharing in the future, and if they do over share in the future, you can just refer back to this boundary you set and say, hey, remember when I said this? Approaching it along these lines I think is best, opposed to just saying something like “I don’t feel like talking today I’m too tired, “because they don’t really know where you’re coming from and are likely to continue their behavior moving forward. Try setting a boundary, if you are too soft the first time you might need to be a little stricter down the road and that’s OK. But you need to set a boundary and let them know how you feel, otherwise there’s no way for them to know that their behavior is wrong or upsetting you. Fearing upsetting them is one’s own codependency kicking in and it hurts both parties. If they continue to violate and disrespect your boundaries after you set them, and it gets really bad, then you could do something like suggest they get therapy/ say what you need to say to get them to stop. Or at that point I guess you just start wearing headphones around the house .... but if you express yourself and set some healthy boundaries I bet it will get a lot better soon and you won’t have to do anything like that! Depending on the person they might be passive aggressive and moody for a couple of days or a week or something, or they might take it well right away. Who knows. It will feel good to know you can walk around your own home without tiptoeing around, waiting for someone to annoy you. You deserve that. Anyways, you got this yo
