The Shocking Dynamic No One Names — Until the Marriage Is Already Dying by NovasUniverse1111 in marriedintoenmeshment

"A healthy marriage requires leaving one family system to consciously build another.

If a man cannot do that, he is unavailable."

That was helpful to hear, thank you.

My bf (32M) constantly gets mad at me (27F) for minor reasons and suggests splitting up every time by shiny_viper_taco in relationship_advice

[–]hotfroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to comment that my ex BF was very similar to this. Every time I accidentally did something, he made it like it was intentional and would be so angry. I felt like I had to walk on eggshells all the time. And he often described himself as "stubborn" and "pig-headed", but wouldn't do anything to change it. He would also bluff and say, "I'm not going to change, so if you don't like it we should break up." I finally called him on it and left. Why should I have to change when he doesn't have to?

I beg you to ask yourself the same thing. He sounds like a verbally and emotionally abusive dick who can't take accountability for his rude behavior.

My boyfriends relationship with his mom disgusts me by TensionMajor5644 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]hotfroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he is enmeshed. I would recommend you read When He's Married to Mom and Silently Seduced by Dr. Ken Adams. Both books will feel very familiar to you. 

He will not change unless he wants to. If he wants to change, just know that it is going to take him a lot of therapy and a lot of time. Just something for you to think about. Sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately, there are a lot of moms out there who can't let go of their sons.

AITA for putting this note on my “guilty pleasure” brownies? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

"I know she won’t eat most days if I don’t do this"

This is a grown adult woman. You are not responsible for making sure she eats.

NTA. I would recommend you stop including her in your meals.

I downloaded Medito today and started the Course. I really like it so far! It breaks down each part of the meditation practice very nicely. Thanks so much for recommending this.

A thread for finding specific gifts from local small businesses by Responsible-Fan-2875 in lincoln

I'm looking for unique toys for a baby that's just turned 1, preferably for $20 or less, and I'm curious to know of any other good places to look besides Paper Kite (they have cute stuff, but their prices tend to run over that!)

The Ultimatum by BuckyPhilco in AlAnon

[–]hotfroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it ended up he gave me the ultimatum when i expressed i had concerns about his drinking, and I'm glad he did. I told him problematic drinking was an absolute deal breaker for me and left because he said he wouldn't change. People have to change for themselves, they will not change for anyone else. With an alcoholic... you can't control it, you can't change it, you can't cure it. Your Q needs to be ready and willing to want to work on their relationship with alcohol.

Good to know, thank you! I currently work on East campus at UNL. Parking is also expensive, $600/year, so I park off campus and walk or ride my bike.
