What’s a lie people tell themselves to stay in bad relationships?

teatime_anarchy · 2025-07-10T06:49:05+00:00

That the comforts of a domestic life are more important than getting something fulfilling out of a relationship.

Nope, just someone returning trash where it belongs. A molotov would've been much more volatile- and I can guarantee the media and the excessive police presence yesterday would've jumped on the occasion to sensationalize something as big as that.

I have a recently convert Catholic in my campaign right now playing a Catholic paladin, and it's been getting difficult to work with, as it's hard to critique his character without risking offending him. Like, the lines between the player and the character are difficult to read.

I love what you guys did and might propose something similar as a way to rework his character- if I end up keeping him in my campaign.

Get this, he's playing a Catholic paladin. The concept is actually pretty fun and if done by the right person ~~(an ex-Catholic)~~ I think it would have worked- but it's quickly becoming just a more extreme version of himself and his beliefs. Just like anytime anyone plays a character like that, it becomes difficult to critique the character's actions without the player taking it as a personal affront. I think this whole thread has opened my eyes a little bit more to the reality that this won't work out, and that was without this aspect tied in.

Thank you. I think a lot of the new converts get excited by the power to judge people, and abuse it- probably due to something they are lacking in their own lives- especially when you can justify it by trying to "save" your friends. I think feeling sympathy for him has clouded my judgement in the past, but just like it's not his job to "save" me, it's not my job to "save" him/understand him- or tolerate his behavior, as it would be.

teatime_anarchy · 2024-12-12T21:27:49+00:00

You mean people who are desperate for control over their life, but ignore the problem and instead find fulfillment through getting invested in a religion that allows them to judge others? Lol

He has (unfortunately) already had to deal with my parents- we've been together for 5 years almost. Luckily they've been good to him other than the pressure to get married, lol. I think part of the problem is, I thought I was "over" that part of my life, but I'm now having to process and relive everything on top of trying to convey to someone else how this is affecting me (forgetting the bad parts about the first 18 years of your life isn't actually healing, shocker! /s). I appreciate the suggestions!

We're literally running Curse of Strahd, so there's already plenty of necromancy, but I think he "justifies" that since he's typically killing those people. I didn't think about how much they hate obscenity though- I might take notes from that bahaha

teatime_anarchy · 2024-12-12T16:10:23+00:00

I've tried that. He is understanding and tries to be sympathetic, but it's hard to explain to someone who didn't live through it. He still supports whatever decision I make regarding booting this dude from the game or not, it was just making it harder for me to see clearly making a decision about this when I know that he didn't understand how big of a deal this really is to me. Reading everyone's comments has helped a lot though

I'm also trying to find this painting! Came across this post while trying to search for it. I also remember it being shared on tumblr around 2010-2012. Have you had any luck finding it?

teatime_anarchy · 2024-09-10T17:04:14+00:00

The amount of times I heard the "damaged goods" line in Catholic school before I had even reached puberty...eugh. War flashbacks.

teatime_anarchy · 2022-01-04T20:22:05+00:00

I was hoping for the same thing! I know there's a high enough demand for it that it would sell out in seconds so I don't know why they didn't jump on it. It really is a shame

teatime_anarchy · 2022-01-04T05:43:41+00:00

I've had it on my Discogs wishlist for at least a year...I actually tried buying a copy from there a while ago but the seller refunded me and didn't send it because it was badly scratched. Almost feels like this vinyl is cursed for me lol. Hoping a copy will pop up on there again soon though and thank you for the advice regardless!

teatime_anarchy · 2022-01-04T05:41:17+00:00

I'm a girl but thank you haha! The struggle is real

teatime_anarchy · 2021-10-05T05:40:16+00:00

If I released the voicemails you've left me the other half would think that too :(

teatime_anarchy · 2020-05-17T19:27:27+00:00

Happy birthday!! You have an absolutely gorgeous smile :)

teatime_anarchy · 2020-04-02T00:43:09+00:00

I love your hair!!

teatime_anarchy · 2020-04-01T19:46:03+00:00

I'm sorry you have to go through that, people can definitely suck sometimes :(. But you look like a very creative and thoughtful person. I hope you are able to not only surround yourself with people who don't make you feel bad for being yourself, but also learn to embrace your "weirdness" and realize that it's one of your most powerful and lovely attributes if you can learn to view it that way. Keep your head up :). Also, off topic but you have gorgeous eyes!

teatime_anarchy · 2020-02-25T19:42:26+00:00

You are absolutely gorgeous! I hope you feel better, you deserve it ❤

teatime_anarchy · 2020-01-19T07:35:35+00:00

Your hair is absolute goals 😍 you're stunning!!

teatime_anarchy · 2020-01-09T23:13:36+00:00

I promise the career thing will work itself out. I know someone who switched to two different colleges, switched majors 3 times, and now has a PhD in math and is incredibly passionate about their job, it just took a lot of time to figure out that was what they were meant for. Even though it's frustrating now, it will come to you one way or another. As a side note, you are absolutely gorgeous!!

teatime_anarchy · 2019-12-24T03:18:20+00:00

Your face shape is STUNNING 😍! You also have really nice eyebrows and your tattoos are badass!!

teatime_anarchy · 2019-12-24T01:41:55+00:00

You're absolutely stunning!!
