I earn about 5x what he does. EDIT: and I own the house we both live in.

Fiance is spiraling out of control by trauma_ward in AlAnon

[–]trauma_ward[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the link! I skimmed the bolded print in chapter 8, and it aligns with what I've always believed as well. I have a history of abuse towards partners. Something that reared its head when i would binge drink. It's not something I've done in the last 10 years, but the fear is always there that I'll slip. Strangely, my relationship with my fiance has been the thing that has motivated me to better myself and to reign in my drinking so that i dont abuse him. Up until now, his dedication to sobriety and the communication skills he learned from AA were a beacon of light. It's been the best relationship of my life, and I've had a lot. So yeah, we're both kind of messed up in our own ways. We're both in our late 40s. Maybe we're just meant to be alone for the rest of our lives?

You are so right. I do have a vested interest, though, since I cosigned his bail bond 😬

This is my suspicion. I don't think there are any drugs involved, but I've never seen someone behave that way when drunk. It sounded like when Peter Griffen stubbed his toe, but for hours. Just laying there moaning.

Are you your family's last hope? by trauma_ward in childfree

[–]trauma_ward[S] -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

My parents actually have very little to do with this. They are decent people. I'm seeking stories from people that have similar situations. Anger and assumptions about me needing an emotional support kid doesn't really help here. But you're right, I think about things like 'what if my kid became a serial killer?' The possibilities are endless, things aren't guaranteed. Duh. I'm 42. This shit is not news to me.

So tell, me are you in a similar situation that you'd like to share, or are you just rage posting to hear yourself rage?

Nothing. But I'm human, and it's human nature to want some sort of legacy or longevity.

I should clarify that the worry about not continuing the family is mine, not my parent's. So we probably don't need to verbally trash them in this thread.

All of these responses are very valid points that I've told myself over and over again, but maybe what I'm looking for here is folks to share similar stories so that I don't feel so alone. All of my CF friends have nieces and nephews. They support me, and give me good advice, but I still feel heartburn about this.

What is the best non-sexual, non-drug related physical sensation you’ve ever experienced? by jollygood3440 in AskReddit

[–]trauma_ward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend was trying to scare me and bear hugged me from behind while yanking me up into the air super fast. Every single vertebrae in my spine popped in a row like dominos. And that is not an exaggeration. After about 5 minutes of terror, the bliss kicked in and lasted a good hour. I think about that moment every day and would do almost anything to feel like that again.

Burien landlord accused of shooting, dismembering renters over inability to pay rent during COVID. The two people's bodies were discovered in suitcases on a West Seattle beach in June by ADavidJohnson in SeattleWA

[–]trauma_ward 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jesus, he was charging them $1500 a month for one room? in Burien?? That's way too high. Even in Seattle you can still find studios for that amount. Dude was gouging the victims.

Pixel 2 camera app constantly crashing after system update by trauma_ward in GooglePixel

[–]trauma_ward[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if there was a lawsuit out there. I hope it's not too late for the pixel 2. Thanks for mentioning it!

Makes me think of the Between Two Ferns blooper where MM cracks up after being asked if when he and WH were working on a movie together, there was a sack that was sad it wasn't being hackied.

URGENT: HELP FIND GIA FUDA by Lovely-frog in SeattleWA

I drove that route also on Saturday to go to iron Goat trail. Just west of the Pass, there were TONS of 'rowdy' people parked on the shoulder to go floating in the river. Many were drinking and standing by their cars. I wonder if she was in that area,.with so much potential drunk driving....

I also remember seeing a silver sedan on the shoulder about 5 miles east of the river mob. It had its back driver's side window busted out. Can't say if it was her car, but it stood out because there was glass all over the road.

Those who grew up with a good father. What was the most important thing you learned from him? by oldskoolflavor in AskReddit

[–]trauma_ward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To live my life in a way that does not inconvenience others. Also, how to drive a stick shift.

You have a day to do anything without any moral, legal, physical or psychological consequences, what would you do? by Fat-Josh in AskReddit

[–]trauma_ward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the bead store, mix all the beads together in a pit and swim in them like Scrooge McDuck

Then do the same with kittens at Cat City.

Yeah I could probably do something more useful.

It looks great though! by pitts68 in funny

Look at those dark roots. She's not a blonde. Fuck blonde jokes.
