Get lost with the “selfish” shit.

I wrote a story for a Reddit post on this:

Well, it helps that you don’t have to line the pockets of the entire executive management staff at Lockheed-Martin.

That was the key phrase “married her to be happy”. And not married her for her. I was lonely and so elated that someone was interested in me that I fully invested in someone who, were I to have looked at with a critical eye, was kind of a miserable person.

Exactly. And it creates a self-reinforcing sink on your self-esteem. After years of it I really believed in my heart that I was a terrible person and not worth being loved.

“If I just try harder” is the swan song of all of us who were in abusive relationships of any kind, I think. If I just love them as much as I can, if I just keep trying to help them, if I just stick it out while they get their crap together, those few really good days we have will bolster me through all the bad days…

Same here. Long story, but I was with a woman for a year, and came close to suicide because of it. Took me the better part of five, six years to recover.

I was also in 18 years of a bad marriage, thinking that the next milestone in the relationship would somehow change things for the better. Trying to make a bad relationship work cost me my 30s and it took leaving and meeting my fiancé to realize how happy I could be in a positive relationship. My family and friends…

A Previa with a manual trans. Mid-engine, RWD, room for all of your friends (assuming you have no more than six friends), AND a row-your-own gearbox! How could you NOT want one?!

Because they are walking on eggshells. :/

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

Regarding the screaming woman in the pizza place: I did have an occasion once where my then 2.5 year old daughter asked me why some woman was yelling at an employee at my local grocery store. It gave me great pleasure to explain, very loudly, that the yelling woman was mean and nasty and probably very unhappy with her…

Re: the pizza place. I was just screamed at last week at full volume in front of the circulation desk (I’m a librarian) and I figured that most people around us were thinking, “Whoa! That woman sounds CRAZY. Hey kids, don’t ever act like that.” Never dreamed that someone would back up the lunatic and give the message…
