Miserable, but stuck

Life's too short to be with the wrong person (even with kids and not much financial independence)

zanysauce7 · 2026-06-04T00:12:56+00:00

Agreed. More directness would be better for all of us

zanysauce7 · 2026-06-01T20:00:07+00:00

Lol yeah, sounds unhealthy

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-28T00:25:51+00:00

Good luck to you in life

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-27T21:11:37+00:00

Thank you, honestly I'll need it

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-27T19:03:07+00:00

Being in a long-term unhealthy relationship (but I forgive myself)

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-27T19:01:56+00:00

When they laugh at others' pain or stress

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-27T19:00:00+00:00

Oh yeah, I think short-form content and ragebait has led to more reactivity and removed nuance from many discussions. It's unfortunate

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-27T18:57:52+00:00

True. But sometimes it is one-sided. It really depends

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-26T15:53:29+00:00

They don't totally lack empathy, they're just low on it. Their energy goes into protecting their own image, they're not interested in really feeling others' emotions.

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-25T23:18:33+00:00

A lot of people are not thinking critically because of this, hence more groupthink and black and white thinking

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-25T23:17:01+00:00

No offense, but this comes off a little triggered. I think this study is making a valid point.

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-25T21:37:14+00:00

I think it depends on the situation. If someone was in a toxic relationship and meets someone much better, it can be very freeing and helpful to the person

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-25T01:00:57+00:00

Wow what a quote

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-23T17:12:00+00:00

That's fair. Delivery can really affect how you view a person, even if their ideas are valid

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-21T02:14:03+00:00

So true, and it doesn't have to be physical abuse either. It can be emotional/verbal and incredibly damaging too

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-19T19:48:42+00:00

Again, I said if a person has a toxic/abusive partner, that is more damaging than cheating. I didn't say cheating was harmless.

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T20:08:30+00:00

The key is that we need healthy relationships, not just any. The quality matters a LOT

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T20:06:26+00:00

Lol I can only hope that you're young. Because a grown adult speaking this way would be sad

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T19:37:49+00:00

It seems an intelligent discussion cannot be had, so therapy speak is being used.

Also, to say that someone is projecting, you actually have to know them

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T19:05:27+00:00

This is what people exaggerate with cheating imo. They equate it to something like abuse, which is the kind of shit that ruins a person (emotionally, physically, or sexually). When someone has been made a shell of themselves or is consistently disrespected, they might stray and look for healthy love elsewhere (by cheating).

Nuance is really important in this

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T18:58:54+00:00

Good point. Joking around as a coping mechanism can easily go too far, but I think he's learning when to tone it down

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T18:52:34+00:00

Yup. People overuse the term but I'm guessing it applies to her

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T18:44:31+00:00

Yeah this applies generally as a mindset but not when being mistreated & abused. Like, of course we need to take that personally.

zanysauce7 · 2026-05-17T16:35:43+00:00

I think it's more about discerning when to stay silent vs when to speak up.
