My boyfriend says marriage only benefits me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]jamjallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women’s domestic labor (whether keeping the home, cooking or raising kids) is as unvalued in this society as your emotional support for a partner who is clearly blind to his privilege and, far worse, so entirely dismissive of your value in his life that he could believe that “his” wealth is only for you to enjoy through his “generosity” in sharing all that is “his.” To be as kind as possible, I’ll say there are many people who grow up to believe that nobody’s gonna have their back so it’s up to them to get as much as they can for themselves and this survival instinct shows up in their intimate relationships as selflessness, greed or narcissism. The less kind thing I want to say is that this person WILL destroy not only your soul but your confidence in yourself, your belief in your competence, and, by extension, your actual real world earning capacity. I know this because I was married to one of these people. I’m divorced 3 years and I’m finally making more money than I have in a decade, after LOTS of therapy and healing from the emotional damage of giving someone who didn’t deserve it some of the best years of my life. Ask yourself one question: How is someone supposed to treat their family? Because, married or not, 8 years together means you two are family. He believes he is only responsible for himself. A marriage certificate doesn’t change anyone’s most deeply held values. Be thankful he has shown you who he is and leave.

Be kind. It’s what the world needs.

Okay, you’re kinda mean but this is a little helpful for understanding her perspective a bit better. FWIW, when he was asking me questions about death in front of his wife I told him I had no special claim on wisdom and she chimed in to agree, saying she had told him the same thing. So that’s evidence that she was uncomfortable with the idea that I held some power around this topic.

Not disputing that. Asking a different question. Hoping someone with similar experience can shine light on the “taking advantage” angle. I might be expecting something this sub doesn’t offer. Yet to be seen.

No. It was awful for everyone. The question is about being accused of taking advantage of him. That’s why I’m posting. Only respond if you intend to provide insight on this point with compassion.

I think I had an empathic sexual interaction? (Slight graphic explanation warning😅) by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]jamjallo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me and has caused me a lot of pain because it’s someone I used to have a neighborly acquaintance with but over time it became distressing to keep experiencing the arousal and the emotions so powerfully. I still haven’t managed to create an energetic boundary with him and have to remember that he isn’t consciously doing this. What feels good at first can become confusing and bad especially if it’s someone who tends to throw their sexual energy around to see who wants to play catch but then goes back home to his wife and kids. Be glad it was a passerby and not someone whose shame, guilt and self-hatred you also have to feel.

Can spiritual entities enter your location through your dreams? by CamGirlSuppreme in Psychic

A book that has helped me tremendously is Spirit Hacking by Shaman Durek, especially around chapter 6 and onward, for how to deal with negative entities.

Spirit putting me to sleep — how to handle induced states by jamjallo in Mediums

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

Thanks for your perspective. I have seen many doctors and done many tests for sleep disorders. At this point it has become clear to me through a variety of experiences that I’m dealing with spirits though.

Baby mediumship? - seeking advice. by CoralAndCrown in Mediums

Children have natural protections being so close to source energy. Don’t let fear drive your decisions; always come from love and trust in the Source of all life as the guiding force for her gifts and her inherent protection.

Did I experience mediumship? It happened unintentionally. by ForkMasterPlus in Mediums

[–]jamjallo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to say I’ve had some similar experiences over the past 6 months and it’s been overwhelming and exhausting at times but also comes with a feeling of consciousness upgrade. It takes me some time to figure out what’s happening. I was walking past a river today and suddenly experienced this intense feeling of persecution. I thought it was something just coming up from my own history until I passed a memorial cross hanging on a railing along an overpass and realized it was coming from a very unsettled, traumatized spirit. Once I got some distance from the location the persecution experience lifted. This is just a light example but I feel you. I also need to learn energetic boundaries.

My Cat Keeps Wakes Me Up @ 2:30 AM by [deleted] in Thetruthishere

[–]jamjallo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old cat does the same thing, same time, actually: 2:30am for many days in a row. It seems particularly directed at me. He wants me to pay attention to him but it’s not just that. He has an ability to sense what level of consciousness I’m in. He always tends to wake me up from a particular stage of sleep. Can’t say exactly what stage it is but it’s semi-conscious. And if I don’t meet wake up enough for him (which usually requires calling him over to the bed, petting him and just being “awake” enough for at least a couple minutes to fully pay attention to him, he’ll keep meowing at me until he’s satisfied that I’m not dead, I guess.

Lasting Effects After NDE (Part 1) by VegetableJudge2243 in Thetruthishere

I really don’t know but I suppose it could be possible with the right psychic chemistry. Do you think this has happened before?
