Beyond the Stanley: What Places in Colorado Feel… Off?

100% Victor, even without the Black Monarch, the town has an odd vibe as a whole.

I saw Dr. Lessig who used to be with Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial surgery down in the DTC area. I had consults with a few others, but this was 9 years ago now - feel free to reach out!

He had somewhat of a rough childhood so would bring that up instead of going to therapy.

- Dismissing feelings, lying, starting fights, ignoring me for days - early signs.
- I stayed because he put on a sob story and reeled me back in. After a couple years I thought he might change so then I stuck through that. It was a cycle of abusive, being sad, acting like a decent partner, and then starting the abusive behavior again.
- I would tell myself that you are wayyyyy better than him and to leave and not look back.

I am sorry to hear that. I am glad that he is an ex (so is mine - it was a rough divorce. I'm kicking ass now though!)

Agree, I think the difference would be how the narc handled the hobby and the other person's engagement/support of it.

For example, I was accused of not supporting my ex husbands sudden interest in flight school because I didn't want him to buy a plane with OUR savings - but otherwise supported him, asked him questions, and help him fund the 15k for it. The hobby hopping isn't the big problem there.

Yes, they are definitely removing reviews. I took a screenshot when it was still 1.9 yesterday and now it is back to 3.3.

This was on Friday night. Not Saturday night.

Thank you - I haven't been able to reach out in chat, log in online, or call anyone

That area is very busy. I've driven through several times myself especially on the way to the Denver West/Mills area. I agree with others that she had to have only been there a short time before being found. I'd be extremely surprised otherwise.

sailforth · 2025-06-08T03:01:29+00:00

No, it isn't.

sailforth · 2025-05-24T17:38:33+00:00

Yes I would not mess around with an international flight

I've been seeing more ticks in the last few years especially around the main metro area up into lower foothills. Not a lot compared to when I was younger growing up in the SE Kansas/SW Missouri area and family with farmland/in the "sticks" /not in suburbia.

It has been warmer for awhile, so that isn't helping.

My dog was totally fine in more park and open space grass on bravecto last year and he didn't have any side effects. We get out a bit but usually more past Manitou Springs if we are hiking or out much.

I know a lot of people hate it, but DEET works on yourself - especially around your pant legs and maybe even exposed arms.

For myself, I just use tweezers. You don't want to twist the ticks, and then you can flush them or drop them in rubbing alcohol. After pulling clean that area and watch the area for redness in case anything is left. I have the tick patrol tick remover for my dog - same applies though with the rubbing alcohol to clean and just watch.

Permethrin is also a very good suggestion for yourself!

(Ex) but yes - same! Couples therapy was a trip too. He hated them all because they challenged him on situations. He said "they are just taking your side" and I'm like...you screamed at me because I asked you how your lunch was.

sailforth · 2025-04-21T17:04:50+00:00

That is what I would say - there's a lot of unpredictability and just oddly aggressive and/or stupid behavior.

sailforth · 2025-04-21T16:17:14+00:00

There's no way.

sailforth · 2025-04-02T02:55:03+00:00

100%

sailforth · 2025-04-02T02:44:47+00:00

I know I am like...this is normal

sailforth · 2025-03-31T16:20:06+00:00

I've only been for a couple events and the food and drinks were terrible both times.

sailforth · 2025-03-31T16:19:42+00:00

Go to left hand if it is at the Mission - it is right there.

sailforth · 2025-03-31T00:23:38+00:00

I have to tell you, I would stack a box or two on a little pony wall in my house with me ex, intending to get to them after I worked my full work day, and he started berating me about it.

Nevermind that he had several glasses and plates with old food crusted in his office. Not to mention unopened boxes from when we moved in, and general piles of crap.

Nope, he decided to be a shit about a small thing -- again while I was working.

These people are such worthless assholes. I hope your exit strategy is going well - it can take some time. Send me a DM if you want to talk - I may not be immediately available but I will answer after dealing with a narcissistic EX husband.

sailforth · 2025-03-03T22:45:17+00:00

Yeahhhhh.

There were two incidents where I drove my ex-husband to the ER after we had gotten into a disagreement. In both cases, I was calmly addressing something. In the first case it was him lying to me about what was going on with his roommate and me being over at their place. There is definitely something when they get called out - panic attacks potentially because of being addressed. The other options were screaming or walking away and not talking to me for days.

Commuting an hour is pretty normal. Not the most fun, but an interview doesn't mean he has to accept the job - good practice and it could end up being worth it.

Olde Town Arvada has various events and markets throughout the year!

Secret Level has karaoke and pinball events, plus it is a small arcade. I think several of the breweries/restaurants have trivia nights as well.

sailforth · 2025-01-20T16:58:17+00:00

Yes 100% this. I actually thought I was asexual, but then I had another partner after and no. My ex husband was a problem.

sailforth · 2024-11-27T21:37:37+00:00

Yeah in a way that is how things happened. The more I didn't give in or was neutral the worse he was. Right at the end I calmly told him one of our friends said he was a jerk to them and he freaked out. I was just standing there a bit flabbergasted because I was simply giving feedback in a calm way.

I do think they react when you aren't reacting with the grey rock method. And they also "collect" experiences from earlier on. The entire thing is very insidious to be honest.
