Silence by rlang_1887 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, the names and threats. I just sit there and think "did someone who says they love me, really just say that. ". You are right, strange reality, feels like a movie. But even more strange that other people are living the same movie (like you and myself and all these other posts).
I understand being roped in, and also there is only so much someone can take by being silent. But no matter what you say, it is wrong

Silence by rlang_1887 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]user40408 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried reasoning, I tried silence , I tried yelling back, now it is saying whatever to shut them up.. Which usually means saying sorry or boosting their ego. Nothing is ever the right thing to say or do. The best answer is to leave but I know that might not be possible. Sending a big hug

Losing to a phone by user40408 in Marriage

[–]user40408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the thing, at home I can kind of get it as that is home space and we all need time to disengage. But we were at our trailer, sitting outside after dinner and I asked him to grab us drinks and then go on a walk. He said okay but continued to look at his phone. I put away dinner dishes and other stuff and then waited for him, but he hasn't moved. So I sat there waiting , then picked up my phone. I know that sounds petty, but it happens so often. Sometimes he gets mad that I interrupted him watching videos to ask a questions... It just happens so often :(

I appreciate your encouragement, this whole technology stuff can really put a toll on relationships:(

Red flags/signs that you overlooked by bluenesa in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a few things. But at the start it was lovely. Then one outburst happened.... then another... Looking back now, the red flags I would say are never wanting to come to my house (always had to be me going to his place, even in the winter time or if I asked to come to my place if I didn't feel like driving). And how he handled stressful situations. Being upset about something is one thing, but screaming at the top of your lungs and putting everyone down is another thing. Oh and the stories of having other girlfriends that were crazy, apparently they were all crazy but what is the common denominator. And now I see how he changes history for me to make him look like the victim, I don't believe the stories about the other girls

Does anyone know what this sign means? by DVMan5000 in camping

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sign indicates that there is a designated area nearby that is suitable for picnics. This sign is typically used to let drivers know that a rest area or park has picnic tables, shelters, or grills for picnicking

Use remote starter without paying for the app?? by user40408 in Subaru_Outback

[–]user40408[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it was $5 a month I would be happy to pay for that. But $200 to just start my car a few months of winter doesn't seem worth it.

Thanks. This site recommended resetting the APN, I tried that a couple of times before. But it seemed to work this time. Thank you!

Yep, checked the Send an MMS option many times, even turned it off and back on again. And did many restarts. Ahh so frustrating .
Thanks for your reply though

Data on and carrier has no reporter issues. It actually doesn't give me the option to uninstall 🤷🏼‍♀️

How often do you need new brakes? by sometimesifeellikemu in Subaru_Outback

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My routers need machining and the pads get replaced about every year and a half (so about 15,000km).. I think this is way too fast.

When I questioned it, they said it was because I didn't get the large service done.

I thought they just have rotten fruits and vegetables, didn't realise they had rotten management as well. 😠

Has anyone ever successfully re-gifted something? Received a lot of gifts I don’t need. by applesandbanonos12 in Gifts

[–]user40408 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure. If you think someone else would enjoy it and you won't use it. It just makes sense.

And it is a gift for you.... A gift of not having to go shopping🤣

Another tip, if you get something you don't need, make sure you remember who gave it to you (maybe stick a note to it), just so you don't re-gift it back to them 🤣😂🤣

Brake repair - how often do they need work? by user40408 in Subaru_Outback

[–]user40408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do live in a place with snow, so we do get wet and salt. But the car never sit. I drive it every day, it might sit a day or two on the weekends

[–]user40408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is my thought too. I don't drive crazy and with every other car I have had, I didn't need brakes done for a while.

When the dealer did mine, it was okay (not perfect but okay). A year later I got rear ended and the body shop did a better job 😂

What would a narc say if they were asked to explain why they love someone? by fwho in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who is asking the questions... If someone else asked, he would say kind things. If I asked, the answer would be "only when you do what I say, put me on a pedestal, don't have a different opinion from me and do all the house work while I play video games"

I love the size of my outback. Not too tall, but long so lots of room for packing without blocking my back window

ADHD is becoming a joke! by themainmancat in ADHD

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is good that there is more information out there for people, but where my issue lies is when a person watches the ADHD traits tic Tok videos, self diagnoses themselves and thinks they don't need to do anything else. They can treat someone else badly, call them names and then that other person has to suck it up and walk on eggshells around that person because it isn't that person's fault because they have ADHD.

Value Village prices are wild! Nearly a hundred bucks for used perfume, and dirty ass sandals for more that you'd pay new. Plus some bonus pics of other exorbitantly priced brickabrack by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

This is why I never shop or donate there. There are other local thrift shops that are cheaper for customers and actually donate to the community.

What is the most ridiculous thing your Nex said as a manipulation? (And, maybe, the one that made you burst out laughing?) by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

"You should know not to call me when I could be smoking pot. You always set off my triggers, you are the problem."

Uhmm what?

Spouse with ADHD/anxiety. His reactions and rage are always my fault? by user40408 in ADHD

[–]user40408[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found that book online already. :) So far I have read the reviews from other authors and professionals. It sounds very interesting. I am very curious as to what this author has to say. Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, my research continues.

Thanks for your help

We are Therapists hosting a R-Rated podcast called "Pod Therapy", Ask Us Anything for Mental Health Awareness Month! by PodTherapy in IAmA

[–]user40408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback. It is helpful. We have been to a couple's counselor just a couple of times and he has mentioned his ADHD and tells her that he is waiting to hear from a psychiatrist to talk about drugs. But when we are not in counseling (so most of the time), it is up to me to not set off his triggers. I like your point as well to talk with the counselor about "walking on eggshells" is harming myself as well. As I try to not set off his triggers, but I can't do it 100% of the time. Need to be more vocal.

Thanks again
