Why do people get married only to cheat or divorce? Shouldn't they know if they're happy to be together BEFORE they get married?

the people who marry are not the people who question things, the people who marry are the ones who blindly do what other people did before them, blindly assuming that the people before had valid reasons that still make sense to this day. they just do it because they believe in normality and marrying is normal.

the more i question the more i know this: normal people will suffer, they are unconscious. they don't think things through, they don't keep up with developments in culture, they don't re-evaluate after a change, they don't think for themselves, they want the shortcut so bad that they don't care where the shortcuts leads them towards.

if you look hard you can probably find a marriage that works, i haven't seen one that wasn't a good looking but deeply rotten miniature-version of the mindless imperialism that is the root of all evil where either one or both participants in were suffering and just hanging in because they were trying to be a good sport.

ithink my boyfriend is starting to actually hate me. it seems like he goes out of his way to do, say, or show me things he knows will hurt me. and he just doesn’t care. he doesn’t listen to me at all. he also just hasn’t been as kind, gentle, or considerate with me lately. i honestly think he’s just given up on me. i want to cry it hurts so bad.

I'm so sorry, nona, but I don't think you can date someone who treats you like that. I hope you break up with him soon.

it’s almost like he’s acting like this just to get me to leave because he doesn’t want to be the one to end it. either that or he just hates me and wants to see what i’m willing to endure. i don’t know how to live with this pain. it’s so hurtful.

You'll need to do some very hard mental work to slowly end the relationship and focus on other things to improve your life. Start kicking this can down the road, and realize that this relationship is broken and that you'll have to move on without this moid.

Anonymous 123642

Please don’t ignore how badly this is affecting you. You deserve good, not confusion and pain nona. I know it’s hard to let go but just try to remember the pain this is causing you. That’s really all I think I can say to you.

setting boundaries with struggling friend. Anonymous 123373[Reply]

hi all! i've been friends with a girl for about 8ish months now. we were very close friends until about april when she cut me off and we stopped talking for about 50 days. i'm not completely sure why she cut me off, but she has some mental health struggles that likely come into play there. at the time she cut me off, she was somewhat cold and made it seem like she wanted nothing to do with me.

but, about a month ago, she reached back out to me because she missed me. while i had mostly gotten over her, i was very glad to see her again. we talked a lot and we started dating. about two days ago, she revealed to me that she never actually loved me, and that she kind of just dated me in order to make her father proud/because of social pressures. we broke up, and she spiraled like she did a few months ago and cut me off once again. she keeps saying that she doesn't care when i try to reason with her, or that i should stop trying to fix her.

i'm not angry with her, even though she thinks i am. if anything i'm just sad that she's doing this to me and herself. i consider her a close friend, but at the same time, i'm not sure if i can continue dealing with all of this. the constant self-loathing, the random mood switches, worrying that she's okay when she goes ghost, and getting abandoned over and over again takes a toll on my mental health. i love her, but i'm not sure what to do next.

it's likely that she will get over this sooner or later, and continue trying to reach back out to me. i'm also going to have to see her again in a few weeks because of an activity we participate in together. i really want to be friends with her, but at the same time, i'm aware that the dynamic we have isn't healthy. she's started struggling with heavy drug abuse as well, which has probably also impacted her mental health.

when she reaches back out, i plan to tell her that we can be friends again, but only under certain conditions. our friendship can't continue the way it has been. she will have to seek help for her drug abuse/mental health issues before i can be friends with her again. it makes me very sad that i have to do this, but it's also the only way things can be right between us.

anything else you think i should ask of her?

side note: i'm also considering seeking out a psychiatrist, because i am aware of some unhealthy tendencies that i have too. i tend to be pretty attached to her, and worry a lot about her.

Anonymous 123376

i went through the same. had a best friend who was an alcoholic and smoked marihuana a lot, i was also very attached to her and overprotective, always welcomed her when she reached out after some ugly episode. I don't want to be pessimistic about your situation, but if you tell her to seek help she'll most likely won't, that's something that was to be born from her, from personal experience.

if this gives you hopes, me and my friend went apart for like three or four years, we recently re connected after we both went to therapy, we are both medicated and in a better mental health condition which had made us have a healthier friendship, but that was because she was the one who looked up for help at one point after we stopped talking, not for all the times i asked her to do it.

Wish you luck tho and don't sacrifice yourself for someone who isn't willing to do the same for you

Anonymous 123429

thank you. i'm really struggling with missing her/hating her right now. on one hand i can't fault her for what she's done because she has mental health issues (and some other outside circumstances) that cause this behavior. on the other hand, this is really taking a toll on me. this is the second time she's left me out of nowhere. it hurts that she continues to disregard my feelings over and over again.

i keep wanting to just block her on everything and pretend like i don't know her. but i also want to leave lines of communication open in the hopes that she comes to her senses. i really do care for her, but i can't say she feels the same about me.

Anonymous 123641

>>123373
i was so desperate to talk to her for closure, but now that i've actually done it, i don't really want to be friends with her anymore. we discussed the nature of our friendship earlier today, and it seems like she still wants to be friends with me. i don't mind though.

like, i still really like her as a person, but idk if i can be bothered with her atp. maybe it's just late night emotions but idk. i think she went too far this time. i can no longer separate her from what she's done to me.

atp i'm basically just giving our friendship a test drive to see if we still have what it takes to be friends. i'm not afriad it cut her off if i feel like it though.

i'm just now finishing my 2nd year in university and for the two years that i've been here i genuinely haven't had a conversation with a person besides someone asking me like "is this seat taken" or something in a class. i haven't had any friends for 5+ years since all my friends from middle school just stopped talking to me when high school started. i think i'm so socially retarded and lacking in social skills that at this point i don't even know how to make friends even if i desperately wish to do it. i never learned these skills as a child either because for as long as i can remember i've felt like my presence is a burden to other people and i've thought that i'm doing a service to them by speaking or being seen as little as possible so even as a child i didn't engage or begin conversations with people. there's no point to this i just can't see how a life like this is worth living in the long run and i wish that eventually i'll have the courage and decisiveness to kill myself.

I've felt the same way, I think many people do. The issue, I think, is sifting through to find like-minded people who are also alone, but for me, that's hard.

Accept her offer and continue looking for the job, try to stay as quiet as possible in her house, so she has no reason to complain about you, but offer to clean and cook, etc.

i don't have a lot of advice for you nona, sorry. i know you can't just control emotions that bad when they do happen.

however, you can control how you express them and you need to pick a way to express them that's as least destructive as possible. you can't just blame things on people like that and make them that responsible for your emotions. especially since he has been helping you. (of course he may be manipulating you in some ways but that's unclear from your posts)

>but he is kind of the reason i hate how i look so much in the firs tplace but idk
how so?
blaming your bf isnt a bad thing if its reasonable, logical and deserved. you just need to distinguish between the two.
toxic people cant handle criticism and have no sense of responsibility, even if theyre objectively in the wrong.

>how do u be a better person and develop empathy no joke.

it's simple: think ahead. just every time you do or say something, make an honest effort to think of the consequences.

when you do or say something, that is you tipping over a little plastic domino piece and when you think ahead you don't just stand in behind the falling piece (just pushing the piece away from you) where you can only see the piece, you rather stand next to it or above it, where you can also see all the other pieces and antipicate the chain reaction it will cause. once you see how far reaching the reverberations of your decisions are, you might make them more carefully or choose not to do them. this creates the space for better choices. also it will make you wonder if you are just responsible for the thing you say or also for the chain reaction your action causes.

Online Stalker - Please Help Me Anonymous 123565[Reply]

There's this guy stalking me around gaming websites such as Pokemon Showdown and Pokeclassic Network. He calls himself "Prozzub" and he hates me for literally no reason. I won against him in a tournament three years ago and he accused me of cheating, leading me to get tournament-banned even though it was not true.

Prozzub said he wants to kill me and he posted my address online. I warned him two years ago I was going to call the police but I never ended up doing it.

Can someone PLEASE help me? This has been going on almost four years and I am afraid Prozzub is actually going to come to my house and kill me.

I dehumanized myself and turned to bloodshed to steal my husband from the putrid maw of a woman I have hated since kindergarten. He might be a weakling, but he's my weakling. I wanted him from the moment I laid eyes on him and I won't let anyone else have him. I have seized his essence and have bore unto myself a child comprised of my mind and will and his beauty and physique.

I certainly won't have a husband, but I want to have two or three children. I'll definitely try in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, or adoption. I don't really care about their gender, but I'm happy if they're all girls. But I have to buy a three-bedroom house first, and that's quite expensive here in my country.
