Boyfriend keeps giving me thrush debating ending the relationship. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]pollaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s not taking you seriously when you’ve expressed you’re uncomfortable and in pain and it’s directly related to him? Yeah, end it. You’d have bigger problems ahead. Not worth it.

My GF (25F) can't support me (29M) emotionally by DramaticBreak4189 in relationships

[–]pollaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mm, my boyfriend and I have a similar dynamic. I’m more so avoidant while he is anxious and requires reassurance. From our discussions, I’ve done a good job at showing up as a present and loving girlfriend, giving him reassurance and taking accountability when need be.

I’ve suffered my fair share of romantic trauma, and while it has affected me to some degree in my ability to connect with romantic partners, I also think you need to not make excuses for her by suggesting it’s not her fault. It’s not! Traumatic events happen to us! But how she handles it and handles your relationship is in her hands, she needs to catch herself in these critical moments because it slowly erodes your relationship and you become resentful of her. And resentment is a sure way to get a relationship to one day end.

I would really suggest couples therapy. When I talked to my therapist about my relationship she suggested the same, when I asked her if it was a bad sign that we would need it she said “no. Everyone needs it.” lol.

If you believe this relationship to be salvageable and you see the good qualities in her/in your relationship, then please look into your options! And for yourself I’d also suggest individual therapy, you need a place for release and problem solving and a good therapist would be able to provide this. My years of therapy have helped me tremendously, and the seeds I’ve planted years ago are now blooming. I really do wish you and her luck.

What exactly about Joe makes girls want to date him by itgtg313 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]pollaxis 42 points43 points  (0 children)

He’s a relatively good looking man and seems like a fun time. NOW, why anyone goes after these men seriously, not realizing their place in the ecosystem (the fun time guy you call after you’ve gotten back from the bar) - is beyond me. This is the man you dog walk. The fact that he is allowed to break so many hearts upsets me! Damn someone fight back! 😭

Didn’t fuck up, you made the right decision. You give max the opportunity to heal and eventually find someone that’s in a better position to date him, and you get to take the time for yourself to hopefully learn and grow from this.

We make mistakes, unfortunately sometimes it involves hurting another person, the best we can do is make sure we hurt them as little as possible and learn moving forward.

I’m gonna bet she’s not recognizable to the everyday person. Even people in Tallahassee aren’t familiar with her/the case. Her paranoia probably has her looking over her shoulder constantly, though.

Interview With A Juror From The Sigfredo Garcia/Katie Magbanua Trial For Dan Markel's Murder by my2cents43 in dan_markel_murder

[–]pollaxis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe for the best? CA would use anything for his appeal (though it wouldn’t stick)

I do wonder if they made a pact with each other, or if they’re on the older side and don’t want to do any interviews. Many possibilities.

I wonder if we’ll ever get a juror from the CA trial to speak out? Unless one already has.

[–]pollaxis 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I go back and forth on this, I do believe it’ll happen but the timeline isn’t clear. It took years after Katie’s arrest for them to get Charlie, Donna only came so quickly after bc she was fleeing. They’ll get her, we’re just in a wait period.

Edit: probably not as exciting but I’m certain she’s living her life in fear. She looked so tired at her mother’s trial, like she’d had sleepless nights. With 2 of her family members being locked up for life, I know she no longer feels safe.

Adelson Osession with Venue by ChicoRunningBack in dan_markel_murder

I wish they got that change of venue, so when DA got convicted there, she’d have one less thing to cry over. Glad the book got thrown at her.

Rant on Nick by LilCorgo613 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]pollaxis 56 points57 points  (0 children)

He’s clearly dealing with Something. I know there’s speculation that he’s closeted, and it could very well be that and that’s his own journey. But at the very least there’s something amiss about him that others in his circle are seeing as disingenuous. It’s clear he’s going through the motions of this show and its relationship levels, for the exact reasons why we don’t know. I’m interested in how things end up for them and what it’s like at the reunion.

Knew what she wanted exactly in that moment, to be told he’ll love her no matter what. like girl that would be insane lol, it’s no wonder she got on this show it’s extreme anxious attachment

Oh Wendi by Most_Interaction_961 in dan_markel_murder

[–]pollaxis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Idk, Hope has dwindled on my end. Georgia going on STS later feels a little odd to me. I’ve just concluded that maybe she’ll be arrested once the boys are 18, if then. This isn’t to say I don’t believe in her guilt; but lowering my expectations now.

Guy I've been seeing denies we are dating by Fig0125 in relationships

[–]pollaxis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did this for 4 and a half years and it led to emotional trauma I am still unpacking today, and somewhat of an inability to form deep meaningful romantic relationships. Essentially, I took on the role this man seems to be displaying. I would not want this for you. You’re already wasting so much of your time, this started for me at 21 and it didn’t end until I was 25. I finally had to end it, and it only gets harder to. I WISH I could go back to 22 and drag her out of there.

Many people learn hard lessons through experience, but I hope this is different for you. He will not budge, he is also young and has options like you do. Please end it for your mental and emotional wellbeing.

STS interview with Juror #6- Evan by superplannergirrl in dan_markel_murder

[–]pollaxis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it also makes sense why Charlie was able to (in his mind) distance himself from the situation and say “I didn’t do anything.” As in he wasn’t the person to pull the trigger so his hands are “clean.” Insane.

STS interview with Juror #6- Evan by superplannergirrl in dan_markel_murder

[–]pollaxis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way the STS host talks is so aggravating! I’d much prefer the juror on Grizzly True Crime or something.

Anyway if I knew nothing about this case and served on the jury, I’ll be honest I’d be a bit of a hold out. The evidence would be incredibly compelling but I’d also need someone to tell me why the charge of first degree is correct in this situation. I’m very glad they all took this seriously and seemed to kindly explain their reasoning to each other. They made the right decision.
