Quick help with CORS error — Hello, This is a stupid question I think I know the answer to, but I'd like confirmation. All the research I've done indicates my gut is right, but I like to check. I'm getting a CORS error when tr…
How do you handle conflict? — Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess the stereotypical avoidant way to handle conflict is to... well, avoid it. Withdraw, stop responding, take time to yourself to process etc. But as for me, once a …
Can You Change a Toxic Relationship? - Is this the right place to post this? — Hello, I am a long-time lurker of this sub first time poster. I’m not sure how to even start this post all I can say is I am completely at a loss. I am so afraid to be alone. Actually, I am horrified.…
Found out my cheating ex is having a baby with his AP 5 years later. — My ex cheated on me 5 years ago and left me to be with his AP. I cut all contact and blocked him on everything. It took a year for me to fully heal. I met the most wonderful partner and we have been t…
With number six, laws in the can US change all the time. Just look at what’s happening with the current president..sigh. Nothing is set in stone. For better or for worse.
Indeed! Which is why we promise “for better, for worse.”…
Marriages nowadays seem so superficial. What tf does he mean you can't be loved until your skinnier??I thought it's through thick and thin ? Better for worse? Please leave this man alone he is a major…
Alright, I'm not reading the other comments, because they're sure to infuriate me. Let me summarize: a bunch of people are going to ignore the fact that you've been married for 32 years, and tell you…
For better or for worse, posts like these are important because it breaks the trend of “overly romanticizing divorces” that occurs on here a lot. Sometimes, things never gets “better” for you after a…
Just bc they ACT reasonable doesn’t mean you can’t have fallout. While I wouldn’t assume your partner, who has been reasonable thus far (even before prenup talk), would act unreasonable upon discussin…
I believe alot of people even without cptsd are struggling with this issue rn. Phone addiction. Process addictions are on the rise! Making tiny choices everyday can change your life. For better.. or f…
The number of people who have complimented my ring and or made comments about how much my husband must love me because of my large diamond ring... when I am not wearing a large diamond ring is hilario…
IMHO it would affect your kids regardless if you engaged it or not, assuming you had contact of some sort before. In fact, I would venture to guess your kids are having experiences of their own, thoug…
That’s hard but I’ve seen my best friend forgive his brother completely for worse
Dating someone for one and a half month. It's been amazing and especially the first weeks incredibly high paced. Rationally speaking very high compatibility and we feel very comfortable around each ot…
[Considering that you're not knowledgeable in astrology, I'll give you a bit of a chart reading lesson. Different topics of your life are represented by respective houses/planets: a "house" is the *pi…
My thoughts on love, relationships, and marriage are that they're rooted in developing a relationship with someone who enriches your life, not necessarily to fill a void/need or to "complete" you. Wh…
There's a lot to be said about this one, that I had to do some thinking on how I could convey this across in a tangible, digestive sense. So, the way how our world is structured goes in dimensions. Y…
I'm a 5th-generation Chinese-American, so for better or for worse, the United States is my motherland at this point. For the time being, I'm going to stay and do what I can to make this country less …
I can't say that I've heard of therapy helping with this specific "problem". I think it's largely orthogonal to the whole "work" thing. Therapy may just modify who your "someone" is, but pretty much e…
Maybe I'm an outlier here (41M), but my wife could be wearing a trash bag and I would still find her sexy. She's the most beautiful woman in the world to me. With that said, I love to see her. I lo…
Assuming you have had all the "talks" and that he has filed for disability or whatever he can get. If he could work either at home or in a job then I can understand your exasperation. You signed up fo…
Hehehe, fun new thing to try. From a distance, observe the aura of a stranger, see their color and whatnot if you can. That's not the goal. Now focus on your peripheral. Some people's auras are HUGE. …
This kinda hits home OP! I am 5'10" but was accused of lying about my height because my date thought I was shorter than her. I am definitely 5'10". She appeared to be the same height as me. Although I…
Honestly try to get any proof you can like if you can record the fact that the bid is on her phone. Any text or snaps anything that can at least suggest that she is still talking to other ppl. Then …
Psychedelic is a vehicle, and people can use it for better or for worse. In your case, it seems like it's a need for stimulation to distract from underlying psychological pain. So you use the amplif…
I (27) went through something very similar over the last 9 months or so. After years of putting up with him barfing all over the house because he'd drink too much, lying to my face and hiding things f…
Something alot of people don't understand is that love is a choice, not a feeling. Neurologically, our brains are not one organ but in effect lots of separate brains (lobes) that are wired together. …
It's not very romantic to promise fealty to someone and sign papers if you've already broken your vows "for better or for worse" with another person you promised the same with as much intention.
OP, this is the point where I changed my mind. In your situation, which I've been in before, that was when I left. Actions over words. I know that this is Reddit and everyone always says, "Ew, break …
Stop seeing a psychiatrist. Waste of money. They are there to take your money and make sure you come back and never to actually get you to the point where you don’t need them. I’m just giving some adv…
I was out of work and had been applying and interviewing for about 8 months at the start of the separation, it's fucking awful out there. I eventually found something decent but it took 20x the effort…
You make her sound like a rescue animal. I don't believe you love her the way you say you do, and that's no disrespect to you. For one, five months isn't a lot of time to know somebody. Two, she …
I’ve thought a lot about the questions you asked. And TLDR, yes. I will stay in this relationship for better or for worse. Tbh our sexual frequency was high in the first couple months we started dat…
I see you, stranger, and I'm sorry. Life shouldn't have done this to either of us. Before all this, I was a very sensitive man, for better and for worse: now I can only feel the worse parts of it, I'm…
like another commentor said, oftentimes these phrases that we hear about trauma often fail to encapsulate it or do so really poorly which is why they shouldn't be taken seriously. I've never liked thi…
Than wait. Any kids? Ask yourself, on your wedding night, did you really mean what you said, for better or worse, FOR WORSE? I’ve been married over 30 years. My wife and I almost called it quits l…
I do really recommend reading The Drama of The Gifted Child. Broke my productivity compulsion for better or for worse..
I recognize that it can be a frustrating thing to be told/hear. It can seemingly minimize the difficulties being faced by the individual who is at risk of SH/SI. That said, the intent behind it is…
You said "I am scared of losing her because I feel like I can see a future..." This is what you feel. What you hope. A future that does not exist snd will not exist. A future closer to a fantasy espe…
Keep us updated on if he replies. Relationships and breakups are complicated. People do change over time, for better or for worse.
Yeah... I hear ya, that "for worse" is a broad statement. Many people love to turn the tables in their favor. But it goes both ways..... you should love them even if they change, and they should lov…
I don’t agree with almost any of these answers. I had a daughter on the spectrum and it is 100% a disabity. For them to leave you in this position is incredibly cruel. My husband is on the spectrum an…
I think this is the case for almost all breakups. It’s very rare someone just wakes up one day and cuts ties. Whether it’s a guy or girl, the thought has been there for a while. Women tend to maybe ho…
The least you owe yourself and your fiancé is to delay the wedding. Lay out your concerns to him in explaining why you want to put on the brakes. His hoping that you will change your mind about living…
It's a good idea to put that out there, on the table, before things get in too deep. Set that expectation and boundary early. "I'm not ready" is a concrete reason you could give. It doesn't mean a la…
A divorce? Seriously? You need to work with your husband to figure out what his problem is. My first suspicion would be untreated sleep apnea. My second would be narcotics abuse. Narcolepsy would be a…
