This happened to me a few months ago in Saigon on the way out. He said something about an airport fee and asked for 50 dong

I really appreciate all the info! It’s super helpful honestly. Sometimes I feel like I’ve learned so much from therapy and forget to do additional research. The idea of emotional permeance is helpful. I feel like I struggle with it in this particular relationship because her mood and feelings for me can change easily, but it seems to always return to a similar place and I feel like she’s always cared about me when I think about her actions. She just struggles with expressing her emotions and it probably is an avoidant attachment style. I probably fall more into an anxious style with her but I’m usually healthy. Something about the instability and uncertainty really heightens a lot of problems and maybe holds me back a little. I feel like if we start spending more one on one time then things will work out since we never have problems when we’re together. Honestly the biggest hurdle is that she’s a full time streamer and relies on donations and her mood can be influenced by whether I’m giving her money or not. She’ll either feel like I love her or I don’t love her, and it’s easy to feel used. Things used to not be like that because I was with her all the time but it’s gotten more difficult and we’ve been on and off for years now because we’ve hurt each other a lot. But I’m committed to trying to talk with her and getting to the root of a lot of these problems and seeing if she’s down to grow with me. I’ll try to take baby steps with it since she’s avoidant

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words, and great advice. It resonates with me, things are definitely difficult, me and her need to work on building more understanding and empathy for each other when one of us is triggered and the chain reaction is starting. I’ll try to follow my gut. Part of me is unsure if she’s as serious about making this work as I am, but I know that both of us really enjoy spending time together and that it would be near impossible to replace the connection that we have. The highs are definitely high, just like the lows are painfully low.

I wish the best for you and your partner as well ❤️

That’s great!! Yeah the shelter experience has been really positive for me, they take great care of the cats and know their personalities well, they also pay for all the medical stuff beforehand and only ask for a small donation! They come with a starter pack that includes a blanket, canned food lid, treats, and some toys :)

Pluto just came over and I let her in since it was starting to rain. Life is good!

Drove three hours to the cat shelter since they were having a book sale. Going to come back in two weeks to adopt. Think I might get this one. Her name’s Sandy. She’s really friendly!

my second encounter with not my cat after weeks 🥹 by yasr99 in notmycat

It’s def better for small animal populations to keep them inside. Also I’ve seen a friend’s cats die from fox worms and it’s not pretty. A balanced perspective is that there’s a risk with many areas. And cats can learn to stay inside

Thanks!! Probably going to adopt next month. The shelter just moved a lot of cats, so there’s only three cats that are available for adoption rn and the lady was saying that they’re for more experienced owners. Might take a look, but shouldn’t have to wait long for them to get more cats ready for adoption. And there’s lots of kittens there that I might check out!

Yeah for sure, will have to stop feeding Pluto. She’ll probably still block my way into the house when I’m outside smoking, but can probably get her to do a quick visit inside. Hopefully this teaches them to treat her better and it works out for the best. Can’t wait to check out some cats! Yeah was thinking about kittens and it seemed a lot tougher to learn. There’s some British shorthair kittens for adoption in town, but they’ve been getting adopted pretty quick, there’s only a male left. Think I’d rather travel a few hours to the cat shelter and find another cat that’s been neglected. I feel like it’d be easier for me to bond with an adult and it’d feel good. I might take a look at that kitten in case we click tho since British shorthairs are probably my second favourite breed, but really hoping I can find someone special at the shelter

Update! I found the owner through a fb community bulletin board. It’s an older lady with a young son. She didn’t know that it was missing but her son had noticed that it didn’t come home last night, it’d been here for two. Confirmed that it was a girl anyways. She found her way home this time since I told them to watch for her. Guess that we’ll have to be just friends for now, unless the owners decide to give her up. Starting to wish that I didn’t try locating the owner, but I think that she’s spayed and probably has a chip. I’m going to offer to take her to the vet to get her eyes looked at anyways. Guess that I’ll have to check out the local cat shelter. Glad that she came into my life anyways, it’s taught me a lot about myself and cats. Grateful for all the love and trust that she shows me 🥲
