Overcorrections 2 Electric Boogaloo — This time I'm focusing on the way things are phrased in this subreddit's Read Me First. The problems I'm noticing can be either attributed to right understanding but wrong phrasing, or wrong understan…
Please help me: My husband did something he doesn't remember — I want to start by saying I love my husband I'm just so lost and I don't know what to do for myself or for him. When he was young he was sexually abused by a kid in his neighbourhood. He was around …

After 3 years together, my (19F) boyfriend (18M) isn’t sure about us. — this is a long one. but it would be great to just have atleast one persons input because i have no one else to come to. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 3 years. Overall he’s always been s…
Hey there. Before I begin: You are loved, your feelings are valid, and you are worth it. Now, to me this sounds like an anxious spiral. You did something you yourself would see as 'too much', and are …
Haha wondered when someone was gonna ask this one. So we have a coat hook by the door to our garage. It has various coats, and our two car keys hanging there. My wife had taken my car out that after…
> I basically made it my life mission to fix myself. It could be that other people have gone out of their way in your life, to make you feel like you are the problem. This is what happened to me. Eve…
I have a history of sensory issues from touch and sound as a child and have been in support groups for autism as a child I was just never officially diagnosed, I also have non-verbal learning disorder…
Not quite true. But the perception doesn't come from nowhere, and AMXF was genuinely super rare and is still far rarer than it should be. I will say several things: 1. Until the 1990s, America was q…
If you said somethink like that it sounds like: Testing the waters for breaking up You think it amd say it, that doesnt come from nowhere. You made a serious point out of it. Would have left you too.…
The truth is that when a relationship involves a pattern of abuse, there is an extremely miniscule chance of that abuse stopping while the relationship continues. These things get very baked into the …
I would agree but it's not from nowhere, look up dog food recalls of 2007. I had two dogs that suffered kidney failures and short lifespans (could be subjective but of the many dogs I've had these two…
I think that’s a really fair take Accountability isn’t pretending your reactions came from nowhere, it’s being able to say “I was hurt, and I still need to own how I handled it.” I think the real di…
No but my dad left me at uni at 18 right after my mum died with almost no decent cook-ware and then seemed surprised that I didn't know how to handle adult life. Because no one ever taught me to be se…
even if that's true about *future* weight gain now that he loves her, the fact remains that if he'd gone to college with her, he would have called her "humpback" or worse *back then* because he wouldn…
Look for signs of infidelity. A lot of the time this sort of thing doesn't come from nowhere. He probably has been actively cheating and now looking for a way out.
you’re protecting him a little bit too much. forgive me for projecting, but i did the same and turns out i was in abusive relationships though and through. he didn’t tell me what to do or think, i cam…
I feel the part that act like they passed away. She blamed me, and I blamed myself. But in truth it was both She passed away today for me after my final message Lora, I’m letting you go. Not becaus…
Honestly, tiny wins. If it feels too big, make teh first step stupid small and just start there. Momentum is way easier to keep than to summon from nowhere.
It’s like dealing with a death, sometimes the grief comes at you from nowhere
I completely agree, this is what the conversation i need to have with her will be about. I have learned enough over the years to understand my behaviour can be destructive and harmful, but I am also l…
This is most definitely wrong, and it is the number one outcome of having come from a narcissistic style family system. It’s the most understandable thing in the world to not realize that, and below…
It clearly hasn’t worked and he’s clearly ignored him if he’s still with her and how do you know he hasn’t tried to shut that shit down? Why’s the dad calling her a slut and telling him to leave her? …
> She's saying I don't understand her. What is it exactly that I don't understand? How rushed was this relationship and marriage? If her attitude took you by surprise, it seems there's a great deal y…
The insecurity doesn't come from nowhere, it's because of the internet. There's a paradigm circulating the internet that has us tie our worth to external factors. Obviously be careful of projecting on…
Is this how she has always been? This is unhealthy and you should separate but firstly- if this behaviour came from nowhere maybe she is unbalanced with hormones or a mental health disorder of some ki…
I spent 20 years as a functioning substance abuser (job apt GF). No matter how much off my head I got, I still remembered what happened the next day. Not every detail, but a lot. Your BF definitely r…
Yes. My late teens were hell, twenties turbulent, once life started to gradually get better at 33 I thought that I was becoming fully healed. Last October everything broke wide open and I’ve felt li…
I’ve found that it comes and goes in life. There were a couple of months in college where the initial trauma didn’t impact me and I thought I was healed. For part of my twenties I was able to relativ…
It’s less it all comes “crashing down.” Maybe it’s like that for some, but personally not in my experience. I’ve found that it comes and goes with each time noticeably not being as intense as the last…
Sorry to read this. My ex blindsided me after 8 years together. While I was about to lose my job. It came from nowhere at the time and I had never experianced heartbreak my world resolved around them …
Yes. And then I start thinking about how those things must have been my fault, and wondering if it’s possible to have trauma from something that is your fault. I have to remind myself that my feeling…
