"toe-ast"
I always felt the "amusement" people say they feel when watching this film was terrible and wrong. Emotional incest at it's worst and most damaging, IMO.
Watching Little Edie circle round the revelation in the documentary Greg Gardens, I was struck by the thought that we all secretly long for self-awareness. If our lives are a puzzle that we must solve, sometimes (if we suspect that the finished image will be an ugly one) it's easier to let it go unsolved. If the…
If I remember correctly, that's the fourth anniversary. I think the third is crystal? Or is it tin?
On their third anniversary is he gonna skin her and wear her like a suit?
I'm reading this in the office instead of working (as always) and I noticed I had started whistling "Every Breath You Take" as I finished the article.
Mmmm, I like watching you sleep. And 365 days from now, I'm going to murder you and and eat your kidneys for dinner. It will be fun, I promise.
Way to screw up her birthday forever after the divorce.
unrelated: are we going to talk about how 46 senators just committed borderline treason yesterday? been waiting for a gawker/jez article to properly articulate this fuckery
Private? BUT IF A PROPOSAL HAPPENS IN A FOREST AND NO ONE IS THERE TO HEAR IT, DOES IT MAKE A SOUND?
Can I mention how lucky I am to have a man who made me wait at a spot at Glacier National Park for 5 minutes for 4 other people to leave in order to ask me, quietly, to marry him. No videos, no cameras, no audience. I am lucky.
At least she didn't have to make him 365 sandwiches...
It absolutely doesn't sound like someone who needs help on occasion going to the toilet could be in any way trapped? Seriously? Not possible that he is terrified of being alone and so scared he has accepted this? I think he is making the best of a bad situation for him, but a lot of people do this in monogamous…
I was watching this thread with bated breath, seeing what looked like a downward spiral between two commenters I like and respect. But you and Lilly, you guys! You figured it out and for some reason, this is kind of making my day. Thank you both.
No, I am suggesting that this isn't nearly as clear cut as presented. He clearly has issue with it and wouldn't continue the relationship if he had options.
'delusional thinking'
I feel like this only works great because he doesn't have much of a choice. She is his wife and his caretaker. If he didn't need caretaking, how into this situation would he be? We don't know, but there is a huge power dynamic issue in this.
"Yeah, I think the fact that when he found out they didn't just call it quits and they found a way to make it work for both of them was particularly beautiful."
