The title says "traded" and the description feels as if it missess some part: the one where you were asked if you wanna see/wanna experience/wanna see/wanna change places. Tell us, if that was it. A…
Duolingo leader throws shade at r/UXDesign — You all might remember this thread a few months ago, [debating Duolingo renaming UX to “Product Experience.”](https://www.reddit.com/r/UXDesign/comments/1j3hvkw/duolingo_renames_ux/) The VP Mig announ…
30 Years in "Functional Freeze": How I mistook Survival for Personality — For three decades, I lived in a state of high-functioning freeze. I was the "perfect" and reliable son, but internally, I felt like a total fraud. I grew up with a mother who used the Silent Treatment…
My ex's new girlfriend is 10 years younger and it's making me spiral about how I look. — I know this is unhealthy. I know comparison is the thief of joy. I know I should be above this. But my ex is now dating a 28 year old and I'm 39 and I've never felt uglier in my life. not because she…
Does anyone else constantly feel like a burden to everyone around them? — I constantly overcompensate because I feel like a burden, like I genuinely have to do everything for the people around me or I feel like I’m subjecting them to my presence. My view on relationships i…
I traded places with an NHI on the other side and it was the most blissful and then most traumatic experience of my life. Could also use some aftercare advice. — I’ve been into the weird my whole life, from having frequent future-telling Déjà vu loops as a kid to following the fringe subs here for a few years. I’ve tried CE5 and that didn’t work, neither did s…
All these years I (24 M) run away from my mother to find the same hell in my girlfriend (25 F) — TL;DR: I spent my life escaping a narcissistic mother only to realize my girlfriend of 6 years might be exactly the same. She is only nice when she is winning, she never apologizes, and I have isolate…
Partner traded me in for in laws — TLDR: has anyone had a partner go back to their nfamily after going no contact and then blamed you for everything while the nparents refuse to apologise for anything at all and are treating your partn…
This is a REALLY old comment, no idea if you still use this account, but I had something similar happen recently. Some kind of entity appeared at the beginning of my dream and told me I was going to h…
Hi, (18M) sorry for the long story: For context, my girlfriend and I have been dating for around 7 months now. Her and I both have avoidant tendencies but she talked to me about my avoidant tendencies…
The yesterday I lamented about being at a loss for words. RECAP: I met someone a few months ago at an event. We had a really good and free flowing chat. After we traded socials and exchanged a few f…
My narc ex husband did this to my daughter and I. He purposely gave me the gift she wanted and her the gift that was for me. We just looked at him like he was crazy and traded. It backfired and we …
I see what you mean and agree with most parts except that for sociopaths their empathy deficiency isn't neurological, whereas for psychopaths it is. And about narcissists, having empathy and cognitive…
Just keep doing your thing! I'm quite like you - my guy friends' jaws hit the floor when I shrug at "that hot chick" - I'm too busy thinking about what she is like, based on her appearance. Talked to …
OP, this is a scheisse sandwich for you to eat hand delivered by your ex. The best thing to do is not take the bait and eat that. I had a very similar thing happen a couple years back (in one of my…
This situation is almost the same as mine: my ex traded me in for a much younger "upgrade" and moved her into his house the same day he broke up with me. She had the same personality, did the same th…
The point is simple: I traded 'blindsided' for 'prepared.' I can label behaviours, understand inconsistencies in communication, find early misalignments, and figure out whether a relationship has st…
There is no “universe” out there sorting your requests like a waiter taking your order. That is not how this works. That has never been how this works. God is your own wonderful human imagination. Th…
As if physical abuse doesn't have emotional ramifications. What even is the point of trauma Olympics? Does the highest trauma jumper get a gold medal? Can it be traded for fame or healing or somethi…
Lol pretty much. It's more the anger over being rejected after paying for a date. I've bought dozens and dozens of tickets and dinners etc for guys who didn't want to see me again after 2 or 3 dates.…
With the caveat that I might be completely full of shit, reaching, and unhelpful... I'm afraid that you traded your family's abuse for the same thing in a different font. I think you're used to be…
I read this earlier and have been thinking about it for hours. You are very young and you sound like you have a great head on your shoulders. This is not normal behavior from a partner. He has trai…
I never heard that expression. It’s a good one, golden retriever. Those are the hard ones to leave because everyone says he’s so great. Some people have amazing owl or hawk like vision, to keep o…
I used to silently judge people who ‘didn’t see the signs,’ and/or stayed. I’ll never judge anyone for anything again. I did not see the signs. I left right away but have no job and am living with m…
I’m sorry you’re going through this. But honestly, you just traded one set of narcissists for another narcissist. The mother of my child would throw things I’d trusted her with at me during argument…
I was exploited by a number of people online that no doubt kept the CSAM of me they had. Something that has helped me is knowing that if they were to ever be caught, those images and videos would not …
Sending hugs and healing thoughts. Unfortunately, it sounds like you traded one tumor for another. Your husband is not concerned about your health. If he was, he would know that spending time wi…
I've got a friend in cybercrimes that I talk technology with now and then. The fundamental problem with this is that Kim Kardashien's stuff was on the surface web, and she has enough money to actuall…
Your relationship won't come back from this, she's going to make it physical at some point (if she hasn't already.) She's in full on emotional cheating, which in my opinion is worse than just for the…
The "traded in for a newer model" feeling is one of the most painful parts of divorce and I'm sorry you're in it. But here's the thing: she's 28 and figuring herself out. You're 39 and you KNOW yours…
Well you can’t be her, and that’s totally ok! Start focusing on you, what makes You happy, what You find fulfilling, do something that You have always wanted to. There’sa reason why you two aren’t to…
Even if deleted off his phone, this can never be taken back, this pornographic content of you exists forever, somewhere. You don’t know if he’s already posted/sold/traded it on the web to other misogy…
took it to the jeweler her got it from and traded it in for $2800 store credit. Bought myself and my mother some new Jewelery including some stacked rings with my children's birth stones :)
Find kid friendly trips…like a cruise with kids club. U dont mention their ages but it gets easier. My hubby used to get stressed, so I took the bulk of plane rides with kids (he sat elsewhere). …
I’ve (47f) also been traded in for a newer model. Perimenopause hit at the same time as the divorce, when I was 43. I ballooned from a normal weight to obese. I felt like crap. However, the only peop…
I agree, staying was so much worse for me. I had a newborn so I had no idea what to even do or how to grasp everything, but the minute I actually let go and filed in court there was so much freedom. O…
Well, I’ll admit around that I started dating someone jan1-2020 3am that I was bonkers for. They had a job a couple years before that, that had them come into my workplace (art supplies) as a custome…
I think “traded” was probably not the exact right word. I did write the post still in an excited state so the fact that I went there and one of them was here felt like trading. However, after digestin…
Thank you. I’ve cried until 4-5am last night lol. It’s been a while since I had such a cathartic cry. 😅🥲 If it’s meant to be, it will be! I’m glad I met him at the end of the day. I wouldn’t have tr…
Does it mean your marriage is missing something? I think not. It's prob because you've been in a stable relationship for 10 years,which means less of the giddy butterflies (but traded for love and par…
