Big time agree with the “always/never” statements and especially the “you always choose “them” over me”

Another version “you never have my back”

Do Thanksgiving for the kids? by Benzon22s in Divorce_Men

[–]ragingredditir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps try to take your kids out for the start of new thanksgiving traditions?

Running “turkey trots” in the morning. Driving around to see Christmas lights at night Watching a movie instead of football

There’s lots of other traditions on this holiday besides eating a big meal. You could also be setting yourself up for compromises in the future, depending on how cool your wife is.

For instance, the year is 2027… “I know it’s your year to have the kids on thanksgiving, but can I pick them up at 8 PM and drive them around for an hour to look at lights since that is our tradition”

Would that ever work? Probably not, but there’s always a chance.

It’s my birthday. by Logical_identity in Divorce_Men

[–]ragingredditir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy birthday man!! Get the peace you deserve. Put it on the calendar, schedule it and go (no matter what).

It could be a hike, a couple hours fishing. Shit, it could even be some time at a hotel just watching TV or whatever.

But schedule a couple hours for yourself. It sounds like you need it

Why are RVs marked down so much more than cars? by flight19 in RVLiving

Sweet! I’ll sell them mine used and I’ll go buy the new one lol

[–]ragingredditir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on how bad the recession is. The toys are the first to go. If the recession is bad enough that people are selling their houses to move into RVs full time, then the demand will still be there because the RVs are no longer just toys

Wow. Is this anyone's experience of pwBPD? by Hydee59 in BPDlovedones

[–]ragingredditir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the post has some truth to it.

I think PwBPD are likely to be abused because BPD stems from being abused. Not always, but often, PwBPD experienced some severe trauma starting early in life. Some of it is genetic, but a lot of it has to do with how they were raised.

Since the trauma feels natural to them, they may be tempted to put themselves in situations that replicate it. Alternatively, they may also create the same chaos by being the abuser.

It certainly isn’t unusual to see PwBPD become nurses. We can debate if “empathy” is the right word, but they definitely can excel in the caretaking role. I think they relate to a lot of patients. They feel like their needs are always ignored (because often their needs are unrealistic). They feel like the least they can do is meet a patients every need. In that regard, they can anticipate needs and go the extra mile in ways that a lot of people may over look.

Edit: I’ll also add that whoever posted this needs to be wary of believing if a PwBPD is abused. Yes, their chances of being abused may be slightly higher than that of anyone else. It doesn’t negate all the false abuse allegations that are incredibly common though. Across the board it seems like PwBPD will claim “abuse” for situations that are not abusive. They can certainly spice it up and sell it that way though

Holidays & Vacations? by Tequila498 in BPDlovedones

“Which wire should I cut, only to have it blow up after I thought everything was fine.”

This had me cracking up! Very relatable

Holidays & Vacations? by Tequila498 in BPDlovedones

[–]ragingredditir 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, very much so.

Social events are a trigger, family is a trigger, anything involving gifts could be a trigger, and generally speaking, anywhere they don’t have their normal level of control (like vacations/traveling) could be a trigger.

The holidays would obviously encompass some or all of the variables.

Needless to say, my internal “smoky the bear” was always waving his red flag right before the holidays, letting me know the chance of an out of control raging wildfire was imminent

Can anyone help me in this decision? by After_Ad1235 in selfimprovement

[–]ragingredditir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren’t expecting handouts from your mom, you’re working hard, you walk to get where you need to go, you invest in yourself and avoid debt, working on an education…

As someone who is twice your age, the world needs more kids like you. You’re off to do great things.

I’m anti-debt. I’d personally pay off the braces, save up a few grand and then buy a used car with cash

AITA for kicking out my date in the middle of the night by 2426733849493 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ragingredditir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re more than an asshole, you’re a complete douchebag.

Why are you embarrassed by your political opinions? Grow a pair and be proud of who you are. You’re drinking wine and getting to know each other. Asking questions like that is part of the process. If she disagrees, turn it into a fun, respectful debate.

A drunk woman spills wine. Okay? Clean it up. Problem solved.

how does one become stoic and is that too masculine? by Amazing_Unit_6494 in selfimprovement

[–]ragingredditir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can def be stoic as a woman.

Being stoic has nothing to do with being masculine or feminine. It’s just training yourself to basically ignore or redirect pain.

Lots of ways to practice stoicism.

Cold showers are common. Fasting is common. Going without creature comforts.

By purposely exposing yourself to conditions that suck, you have the ability to better handle unexpected situations that suck.
