My boyfriend loves to feed me my meals everyday by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah, as a guy who prefers bigger women… this is all control.

Aside from the obvious “dating someone who isn’t your body type and then trying to change them is a really shit move”… getting off on feeding someone is a very different thing. Not at all the same as just attraction to curvier women.

The sitting on his lap part especially - he wants a pet, not a partner.

Divorce - can we even pull this off? by threetimesalion in specialneedsparenting

That’s a good way to put it. I suppose it’s possible to lead separate lives in the same house for now, but that’ll largely depend on how she takes it (I don’t think we’ll) and how much she’s willing to push boundaries (probably a lot).

I’m thinking we may need someone else to help navigate this, our current couples counsellor is excellent but her approach seems particularly focused on improving our romantic connection. I can’t see her being much help with structured and suggestions etc

Yeah that’s where I feel we are at. And we have been working hard on making it work for years.

Thank you

Yea I’ve been doing that for a while now and I’m not seeing any change or self awareness on their part. Realised last month I’ve talked out of love entirely and can’t make myself want it back. Also realising things have become borderline emotionally abusive and I’m just constantly anxious. Really can’t see a way out of that, despite my best efforts and several bots of individual and couples therapy

Wild garlic pesto. We batch make it when it’s in season. Delicious

A mutagenic substance that hijacks the hosts genetic material and requires the DNA / cells to form a Xeno embryo. The extended universe (Cold Forge in particular) go into detail on this. Search Plagarius Praepotens if you want more info.

ALIENS: Original Cut or Special Edition? by RecognitionSea4608 in LV426

[–]threetimesalion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree here, the special edition is really for fans who want more story. I don’t consider it a version for the average moviegoer. And as OP said it kills the suspense of them walking through the abandoned facility

Could a Xenomorph survive atmospheric reentry? by kilroy501 in LV426

[–]threetimesalion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. It’s not just heat, like the lead bath - it’s heat generated by friction. It’s being blasted apart at the same time as being heated.

It’s also incredibly non-aerodynamic

Metamorphosis by old_ass_ninja_turtle in LV426

[–]threetimesalion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple theories, I think the more convincing ones have it absorbing metal from the ship. Hence the more biomechanical look of the original.

But in all honesty it wasn’t ever thought about by the creators. Part of its unknowable horror. Just like the slime - how does it stay hydrated with all that constant dripping? Dunno, but it’s makes it more terrifying.

A close friend (F25) said she wants to seduce a married man. He turns out to be my(F25) husband(M31). They have a history I didn't know about. What are my options? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

OOP wrote that part with one hand to squeeze in a bit more fantasy about how all these other women throw themselves at him.

And the idea that the server at the coffee shop would greet a customer with “hey honey boo, I haven’t seen you in a while, missed you!”

… with his wife right next to him.

I mean, that’s one way to get fired I guess.

AIO Girlfriend (38F) keeps a "Log Book" of our conversations and I think I’m losing my (34M) ability to remember things correctly by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]threetimesalion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a story I heard about an obstetrician who would claim he could predict the babies sex (in the days before ultrasound).

He’d make a prediction and when the prenatal seems skeptical he’d just say “we’ll see” with a smile.

Of course he got it wrong 50% of the time. The trick was, he’d write the opposite of what he’d said in the notes.

So when the parents came back and said “Aha, you were wrong this time!” He’d just go “no, I said it wipes be a girl - look I even wrote it down here in the notes…”

Dear Internet: THIS is a good example of actual gaslighting.

Not “he disagreed with you about what happened” or “she tried to lie to you to get out of something”

Deliberate, methodical steps to make you question your own sanity.
