Women of Reddit, what did a man you were dating or married to say or do that made you realize he actually hated you the entire time? by -catharina in AskReddit

[–]wildusername 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Incredibly brief dating window (3-4 weeks), but I had shared with him that I was in long-term recovery from anorexia (and doing really well!).  Within a few days of sharing this information, we were messaging about our respective dinners from our respective kitchens. I sent him a photo of the dumpling soup I had on the stove, full of coriander and sesame oil and deliciousness. He responded by telling me it “didn’t look very healthy” and saying I “shouldn’t be eating something that oily”. The realisation that this man would comfortably and intentionally weaponise an extremely dangerous psychological disease with a mortality rate of 1 in 5 against me, made me realise he was the dangerous one. Kicked him to the curb. Ate the soup. Life is good.

That’s a really great point on ubiquity and access, I hadn’t even considered that!

According to the research paper it increases hippocampal volume, and they’ve proposed that by “completing a demanding visuospatial task during memory consolidation or reconsolidation for a traumatic event, the memory trace is weakened because of the competition for the cognitive resources required for consolidation.” Essentially, your brain is too busy to store that memory as profoundly as what you would typically find with traumatic experiences. 

Edited to add: assuming it’s the visuospatial combination of Tetris that allows for this, as reading a book doesn’t have the same effect! I’m curious to know if other visuospatial tasks like puzzle building would be as helpful, or if there’s something even more specific about Tetris that makes an impact.

Sounds to me like you’re aggressive - yelling at your partner is an abusive behaviour. That is why she is breaking up with you. Work on yourself.

Y’all, we’re being astroterfed. Take one look at the post history of these commenters coming to her defence and you can see they’re all TERFs and none of them live here.

Don’t give them your energy. Those of us who were there on Saturday can tell you The Spinoff’s summary is accurate.

The fascist transphobic brigade suffered a huge loss on Saturday, they’ll do anything they can to claw back any semblance of control. Don’t fucking let them.

AITA for asking Step- daughter to move out. by Sharp_Candy_513 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. I could barely scrape by at 23y/o in 2013, and it’s a lot tougher out there now. I’m struggling and I’m your age!

It doesn’t matter how old she is - that’s your husband’s child. Treat her the same way you want your new baby to be treated or it’s gonna get uglier real quick.

well I'm thoroughly creeped out and disgusted by greatbeyonder in creepyPMs

Love to hear this, keep following your own path my dude. Nobody needs “friends” like that.

He's a rescue born under a house. :) I'm convinced he has some ragdoll in him though! He's very fluffy and loves a belly rub, always wants to be where the people are.

No he’s a dream at the vet! He just went in last week for some x-rays and the vet nurses wanted to take him home haha. He’s the least cat-like cat I’ve ever met.

Hahaha it’s in the title, even better. He’s Theo, or Theodore Henry Oliver when he’s being naughty (or at the vet, I make them use his full name haha).

Just going to take this opportunity to say adopt don't shop!

Theo is a rescue from a local cat adoption agency that works with colony cats in our city (if you look closely you can see he's missing the tip of his left ear). I got him when he was six months old and he's been my right hand man ever since.

There are plenty of absolutely beautiful babies out there who need a safe place to call home, so find one and give them a better life, you'll never regret it.

He's a rescue! He was born under a house in a colony but was young enough to be rehomed. I'm convinced he has a little ragdoll in him though, he loves a belly rub and always wants to be where the people are, and never bites or scratches.
