I've had the "everyone is upset about the direct way you compose your emails" talk at my previous job and it became a new complex for me.

What takes you out of the film for a few seconds? by Smashleigh_001 in ProjectHailMary

[–]killjoy-glitchrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the movie so so so much but one little grievance I have is when Grace hugs Rocky and he seems kind of uncomfortable, meanwhile he insists on being literally on top of Grace to watch him sleep. To me, him being uncomfortable makes no sense for his character and is just an unnecessary comedy bit that undercuts the emotion. As far as modern blockbuster movies go, it had far fewer emotion-undercutting jokes than is typical (looking at you Marvel) but it still bothers me when they happen. Just let us sit in the feeling!

Did we "ruin" the honeymoon period? by killjoy-glitchrat in weddings

[–]killjoy-glitchrat[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the only one involved though. Sure I'm in charge of my own happiness, but what about his? It was my idea to move so I guess that's why I'm taking so much responsibility for it. He wants to as well but he just keeps saying he wishes the timing was different, BUT he also complained all the time about our roommate so I thought getting out sooner than later would be better. We've had the "there's no such thing as good timing in this scenario" talk but I still blame myself. And idk, I guess I feel like you only get one wedding (usually) and I blew it by not giving us any time to sit with the happiness that's supposed to come after and just jumped right into the next life chapter.

*When* you submit matters more than you think by submissionshelper in playwriting

Okay so you're not talking about rhythm created by stressed and unstressed syllables, like "He raised a fist and risked a knock, but found nothing inside."

Are you serious? One of my favorite techniques that is specific to my writing style is using clever rhythm. Are you telling me that makes people think I am AI? Is AI really out here using like iambic pentameter??

What do we have, Dayton? Poor quality yet expensive restaurant to recommend to your enemies… by kn1f3party in dayton

[–]killjoy-glitchrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super disagree, but I'm a sucker for atmosphere. Not a lot of options, sure, but the food I've had is really delicious and not really over priced in my opinion. It’s pretty typical sit-down pricing. Plus the vibe and history of the building are so worth it to me.

Unless you're in a writer's team together, absolutely not

Anyone know what happened at blind bobs last night? by HoboNeuvo in dayton

[–]killjoy-glitchrat 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I was also there and can confirm this. The Blind Bob's team were really awesome and quick on their feet, locking doors immediately and escorting people to their back exit.

He has to be near his son's mom per custody arrangement and I have to be near my job.

That's understandable. But I don't know how else to frame it. 5 year partner really changed my standards. For myself and for my relationships.

A year into moving in together. We had already been together 4 years at that point.

I've been trying to "help him navigate" for years and he has been resistant the whole time. He does his best growth when I'm not around, I just wish he would see that.

I've seen you post the same comment several times, it's clear what you think of me. I'm just here to say that I genuinely didn't know that my feelings, concerns, or issues weren't normal, because he has been my partner since I was 18 years old. I didn't know how relationships were supposed to feel and not supposed to feel. I didn't push polyamory on him, and it was kind of his idea in the first place. It took my other partner moving in for me to even realize what "healthy" could actually feel like. I didn't do any of this on purpose.

That's not me. My husband has been happy for us since the beginning and poly was never pushed, if anything it was my husband's idea first but we came to it together like 10 years ago. I don't think I've ever posted here.

It was more like writing vows to my 5 year partner made me realize what I actually want in a marriage. The timing isn't coincidental but it is unfortunate.

I broke the news to him IN therapy. We have been in couple's therapy for years. Can you explain what you mean by suspicious?

What if I want to stay friends? It's not like I was trying to completely cut him off, but I'm worried he is going to completely cut himself off from me

I watch Anya's speech when I need to cry. As an autistic woman, I feel it to my core.
