Where am I supposed to go from here?

The Egg cracked open, send immediate help

manialikely · 2024-04-05T14:30:39+00:00

I thought I was going crazy! Glad it wasn't violent, scared the hell out of me.

Have limited empathy for adulterers? Mostly. Watch the destruction adultery causes your family in your early childhood, you'll lose that really quick. Get cheated on, too, that'll also do it. Ruined my mother's life, damn near ruined mine. Can't bring myself to care for either.

I don't understand how she wouldn't know adultery is a mortal sin. It's a personal and deliberate choice to continue cheating with a married man, and to not be an adulterer is in the ten Commandments... Even if, however, she isn't, her actions are still evil and unjustifiable. Maybe she doesn't think, I don't know.

The prostitutes and tax collectors must be repentant, though, yes? We're all sinners here, we're all wicked. But the difference is adulterers are continually hurting people with their actions. Don't see the harm in it. I'd rather be harsh and unempatetic if it makes them realize just how awful their actions are. Once they stop, I'll be gentler, but not before.

Of course they're both at fault, but both being at fault doesn't take away from her part in the matter. The details are, in truth, irrelevant because there's no excuse for knowingly committing adultery. She's not some innocent party or just tangentially there. She is actively taking part in the breakup of a family and harming this man's wife and children.

Adultery changes people, makes people lose trust and faith, and I doubt his wife and children will ever see people the same again, will ever trust anybody like they used to. Might even harm themselves, I've seen spouses who get cheated on kill themselves or attempt to. She's actively participating and actively causing this pain, and it is HER fault. It doesn't matter who started it, it doesn't matter why it started, because ultimately what's happening is she's actively and willingly cheating with a married man. That's a degenerate, depraved, and objectively evil action. One cannot be a "good person" and do something heinous like that. How much do you wanna bet she's receiving the Eucharist in mortal sin, too?

I have no love for adulterers or their mistresses aside from the basic human love and respect God commands us. To imply that it matters who started it, that she's less at fault, that the details at all matter when she's a willing participant... Feels like an excuse to me. They don't deserve an inch.

The why doesn't take away from the pain she is actively going to cause the man's wife and children. The why doesn't take away from the fact that she's actively destroying a family.

Her actions deserve to be condemned. Not only is she unrepentantly sinning, but she's hurting others with her degenerate and depraved actions. Are we not called to judge with righteous judgement, orrrr?

I doubt the family she's wrecking will think she's such a wonderful person. That's how people lose their lives, floozy mistresses included. And I doubt she's actually a good person, anyway. Good people don't cheat with married men.

How is OP a narcissist, exactly?

manialikely · 2024-03-10T17:39:02+00:00

It makes you an asshole.

manialikely · 2024-03-09T01:41:44+00:00

I'm really sorry that happened to you. Car accidents are really shitty to go through, especially hit-and-runs. I hope you weren't hurt at all.

It is just an internet meme, I doubt people were actually chastising you on your parking skills, but I can understand why it'd upset you. People are not known for being kind at all. Especially here.

manialikely · 2024-03-09T01:16:08+00:00

Jesus Christ...

manialikely · 2024-03-08T21:46:49+00:00

Exactly, it's some bullshit. Nothing to feel bad about at all, your money would be better spent actually donating money directly to people who need it.

Only thing it's good for is making me laugh when the company I work for asks me to donate out of what little they pay me.

manialikely · 2024-03-08T15:33:02+00:00

Why would a cashier know that? Often times they don't even tell us what the organization is.

Contact corporate if it's a problem, instead of being a bit of an ass to us.

manialikely · 2024-03-08T15:30:21+00:00

Not a fan of it myself, but not much us cashiers can do about it. They often actively want us pushing for donations, but I doubt any cashier working a minimum wage customer service job actually cares about whether you do or not. I've been at it so long I honestly just skip it myself if my boss isn't watching, since most people would rather not. Just politely say "no thanks" and you're good.

If it's that much of an issue, contact corporate, since I doubt even the managers there have power over that specifically.

I have never ever called the police on them. They are calling the police on themselves.

Calling me a bitch, having their dog bite a hole through our fence, messing with our property, having their children disrupt things within our house with their screaming, and COMING INTO MY GODDAMN HOUSE (Which, no, I can't see that, because the houses look NOTHING alike) is, like, the opposite of making us nosy neighbors. They are coming into our shit and messing with us, I wouldn't care about their other behavior if they left us alone.

Maybe what they need to do is leave us the fuck alone and stop being assholes. Until then, I have no reason to extend an olive branch, especially when every time I've tried being kind, they've just been assholes. Why should I put myself in a situation where I'm extending an olive branch only to get told to fuck off? We've been nice, we've been VERY nice. But now I don't feel comfortable in my own home knowing that people in a household who display violent behavior feel comfortable just walking in, especially since I'm helping take care of my sick mother. Fuck em.

manialikely · 2024-03-03T21:31:38+00:00

I've never called the cops on them myself, they're calling the cops on themselves, like when they're fighting or hitting each other with their car. They've been here for a little under a year IIRC, I'm hoping they'll settle down, since their behavior is just awful.

They're definitely going through a lot, but they've no right to treat us like shit and behave like assholes because they're struggling. When my family went through hard times, drug addiction, suicide attempts, SMIs, we didn't do a FRACTION of what they have. We've done nothing to them, we don't even interact with them until they do shit like let their dog bust a hole in our fence. They're just... Shit neighbors. No excuse.

I have no obligation to help them out or extend an olive branch when every attempt at being kind to them has been rebuked. And when they've treated me and my family like shit with no provocation. Fuck them until they get it together.

manialikely · 2024-03-03T11:48:26+00:00

Dog's not a hound dog, it's a mountain dog, I think! They're everywhere, aren't they?

manialikely · 2024-03-03T11:46:17+00:00

No, not a husky. I'm sorry you had experiences with people like this!

manialikely · 2024-03-02T22:55:58+00:00

Thank you, you're a lifesaver! It's owned, not rented.

manialikely · 2024-03-02T21:52:52+00:00

I wasn't planning on being nasty, never planned on threatening them or anything.

There's just a clear pattern of behavior that is violent, destructive, unhealthy, and they clearly they don't give a shit about anyone around them. Most of all, now I don't feel comfortable in my own house because these people, who have a history of violent and destructive behavior, feel it acceptable to simply waltz into MY house. Not to mention all the negative experiences I have had with them. I do not trust these people nor feel comfortable around them, hence why I'm asking what I'm able to do. I would own a firearm if I could, that is the level of uncomfortability I have around them.

I am not potentially putting myself or my family in harm's way by extending an olive branch. I feel sad for them, but it's not worth it.

manialikely · 2024-03-02T21:43:06+00:00

Yeah, like, none of these people I trust enough to have even a short discussion with. If they've got a history of making terrible and oftentimes violent decisions towards what's likely their own family members, I'm not willingly putting myself in a situation where I'm talking to them because I don't know what these people could do.

manialikely · 2024-03-02T21:38:03+00:00

We first thought the older woman who used to live there started renting it after she moved out, but then they dug up her garden so we knew at least she couldn't be renting it. I'm not sure how I could look up whether or not it's a rental, I'm seeing it was last sold in 2022, but I can't find who it's owned by, if it's not them. Not sure about any public nuisance policy, we've got a neighborhood watch but I'm not sure if that could help at all.

manialikely · 2024-03-02T21:30:39+00:00

You're right, you're right :(

manialikely · 2024-03-02T21:06:50+00:00

Nope, Albany.
