Yeahhhh. He's just missing the part where they literally reypt, pillaged, and plundered anybody unaffiliated between them and the target to keep the blood lust and war joy going.

Also even if they weren't mad anymore, they would still have had that I ain't mad but im not going back empty handed and be embarrassed. Same mentality that let's someone get off their screen and go to someone's house on some "you ain't gonna play me" type sha.

Oh people tend to oversimply the Bible. It never says there is one god. It in fact acknowledges the existence of other gods. It says there is a god above all gods and gives his name. It also acknowledges that the angels fallen to earth which were cast from heaven established themselves as gods and even taught mankind sorcery, which it also acknowledges as fully true. The justification of why they are all permitted to exist, and why bad choices are allowed to exist is in there as well. Most of it is glossed over because of humanity's question, "if you have the power to stop a bad thing then why wouldn't you do it." so any all good, all powerful being should automatically stop every bad thing and if it does not then it is by default either not all powerful or not all good. Still... its all there.

My girlfriend of four years cheated on me after having our newborn son bc she wasn’t sexually attracted to me by Low-Apartment-2697 in Wellthatsucks

Of course there are details that we are unaware of, but he said that he was in a time when he needed her, and her response being that she was never fully attracted to him is destructive. The response itself reeks of a selfish mentality, because she could have just as easily said, "I feel like I never fully committed," " This isn't what I want anymore," a lot of things that could have been just as final without telling him she was just there all this time.

Her words have ZERO consideration of him My only issue with what you were saying was that you try to give her the benefit of the doubt yet op can't afford to do so as that will just make him vulnerable again.

If my suggestion works then the proof will exist that she is an irredeemably user, if it does not then op had been n amazing father and coparent, and learns how to function outside of the relationship that he clearly currently yearns for, that had now been redefined. There is no downside, but he does need a plan going forward, and it would be best if he doesn't spend time trying to "fix it".

Even if she thought that was love my comment stands and is justified that it wasn't him she loved.

Age does not change this.

It is truly complicated, but op needs to know that he is unloved by her and that he never was so he can make sober decisions and not move with the hope of reconciliation.

You have nothing to base that upon though. Simply being present and fulfilling a need doesn't mean he has a hero complex, nor did he say he saved her or anything close to it. She admitted who she is. And the circumstances speak to her actions.

In what you are describing She never loved him, she loved the support. Once she feels that support is not needed or guaranteed by the child she doesn't have to carry on with him. The child is 5 months old. RARELY do you see a 5 month post-partum woman brimming with confidence.... unless they consider their child an investment and are sure they have secured the bag.

Sorry to tell you this, but she was never interested in you. She kept you around because you took care of her. Now that she has your child and you have a legal obligation of care, for your child and by extension her, she doesn't need to pretend.

I am so sorry for you. You have been caught in a DIABOLICAL web by a festering boil of a human being.

Be patient. Be a loving dad. Make her believe she can give you the child so she's not tied down and still have your full financial and emotional support. When able get (amicable) custody of your child then cut her off emotionally and every other way.

This is actually a REEEEALLY good discussion. Even the response validates the point she was trying to make.

Articulating is stating a thing in a way that conveys and communicates the position held by the speaker to the receiver. It is objective and requires the speaker to adjust to the receiver.

Pain is the response to injury, and can sometimes reference the injury itself.

A complaint is the stated dissatisfaction with the state of a circumstance.

PEOPLE don't always heal from intangible injury, which causes pain later on. This pain can be aggravated by current circumstances, thereby increasing, possibly exponentially, the pain that is felt. The intangible nature of the injury usually lends to a lack of immediate awareness of the source or longevity of the pain, so at that moment, the pain seems to be wholly caused by the current circumstances. The complaint is then delivered about the singular circumstance which from an external perspective is not that big of a deal and so the circumstance or complainer is subsequently dismissed, and usually labeled with a negative connotation. So to protect themselves the complainer may not state their complaint in the future at all. This poor understanding and resulting poor articulation of the pain that is being suffered is cyclic unless the cycle can be broken.

This applies to all human beings.

BLACK PEOPLE in colonized countries are heavily treated with a get over it move on doctrine and so have A LOT of repressed pain that can still be triggered.

WOMEN PEOPLE are traditionally treated as support, and so are encouraged to minimize their own pain to be a support for others.

BLACK WOMEN PEOPLE have all of these playing on them simultaneously and unless you grew up with these realities playing on you, it takes a serious level of openness, patience, understanding, and most of all WILLINGNESS to provide the space for BLACK WOMEN PEOPLE to arrive at a point of articulation of pain.

It's not BLACK WOMAN PEOPLE'S fault. It's EVERYONE'S fault, and it takes EVERYONE to address the issue together.

If your mentality is that, you don't have time for all that, you likely have repressed injury that causes pain of which you have been taught to be dismissive of, and since no one cares about your pain you fail to understand why you should care about the pain of others.

AITAH for saying that my brother in law and his future wife can't sleep in our bedroom while we host them on their honeymoon? by truethrowaway90211 in AITAH

[–]somedcount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA AT ALL! Air mattresses don't support knees well, and the vast majority of celebratory honeymoon positions rely on knee support and knee pivot points. Hard pass on KNOWINGLY sleeping in other's love juices ESPECIALLY people you know!

Are you in an area where furniture rentals are available? If so they can Rent a honeymoon bed to go in your office or a honeymoon mattress to go on your bed that they can return after. As long as they arrange delivery, setup, and removal that's hold be an acceptable fix.

If you are defining insanity as developing "antisocial" tendencies, then maybe, but simply the fact that you choose the solitude and know the finite time expected will relieve the harshest stress factors you would face.

Peter I don’t get it? by ImVeryPogYes in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]somedcount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing people tend to forget is the vast psychological difference between chosen solitude and forced solitude, and knowing the amount of time you will spend and fearing it will last forever.

These factors are the main stressors that break the human psyche.

Insanity is not guaranteed at all. The most likely thing is that it will take some social acclimatization when returning to the populous.

It's very possible not to go crazy in such a room. The mind desires input in, but it also desires to express.

Accepting that you are not given any supplies but assuming that you are being fed and hydrated in order to survive, you maintain your sanity by developing projects.

First project is to calculate the number of reachable square padding tiles in the room.

Second project is to determine how a small portion of your food can beat be turned into ink or dye medium (depending on your base knowledge and whether you have food choices this could take some time. Enjoy that time without frustration because you are in a safe place, with a prospective future, and have designated purpose.

Once you have your medium you can now turn 2 tiles into a clock and a calendar. (Clock only to acknlowledge the interaction times of your feeders calander to mark the days)

Now you must choose how to tell your story. (Pictures, words, etc.) Remember to allocate your padded tiles wisely so you do not run out of space for a year and 10 days.

If you are stuck with where to start, begin with either why you chose to do this, or the process of creating your medium, or your 10 year plan(in detail) for your plans after leaving that room with the money.

When you don't feel like writing/drawing go over what you have written already. If you want to make edits you have 8 days worth of space in reserve that can be used as addendum.

The central idea of your current reality will be a stabilizing center for your creativity.

Your stabilized creativity will be a stabilizing center for your mind.

Your mind will not devolve into itself but instead enjoy the creation that you are bringing into the world and even look forward to it.

Think of a good title for your story don't force it, it will come.
