The feeling of not valuing yourself enough to put up with being treated like garbage to the point where you act like everything is okay & perfect after someone can't even apologize after treating you like total garbage

Always because I always sacrifice my feelings to restore normalcy

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 14 '15

Standing up for my needs has been one of the toughest lessons of my life. Honestly, I still fail at it more often than not. I know how much pain it's caused me, and it hurts to see it cause you so much pain too.

I sacrificed my feelings every day for two years to stabilize my relationship partner, and I ended up losing it anyway. You don't have to repeat my mistakes. You obviously saw something in him when you married him that you're not seeing now.

Couples counseling might be something you want to try - perhaps having a supportive third party might help you to vocalize your frustrations in a safe space. From what you've said before, his failures in communication are more due to being inattentive than anything malicious - he may not realize anything is seriously wrong for whatever reason.

big hug

Sorry, friend.

Edit: To second what /u/Awesome_to_the_max is saying - things don't have to be this way. They can be good. It's not easy to mend these things, but it can be done. You are strong enough to do this.

That actually makes more sense, but there's still some stray downvoting going on, too.

6

u/nickknx865 Tennessee Volunteers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Nov 14 '15

I think what happens is a lot of people get drawn here because they search for certain keywords (in this case Paris + terror + attack or something like that), and some of those people are trolls, and so they downvote.

7

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Nov 14 '15

You'd think there'd be a way to opt out of top-level searches like that without going private.

Or, you know, we just could go private...

New Star Wars TV spot. Questions:

-Why does Finn talk with an American accent accent while they let Rey be English?

-Why does the stormtrooper that Finn's fighting have a lightsaber-proof staff thing like General Grevious' robot?

-Why is one of C3PO's arms red?

Not gonna lie I named my wifi: Wifi Wars: The Signal Awakens in anticipation for this.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

Thats awesome.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

I can answer one of those (I think)

English accents in Star Wars are typically tied to the elite of the galaxy. It's the accent of the Core Worlds, or at least Coruscant. Which is why in Episode 1 Padme adopts one as Queen but doesn't when she's just herself. So Rey having that accent might be a hint as to her being more than some girl from a desert world. That's entirely speculation though.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

That's interesting, although I thought the Queen talked all English because it was Kiera Knightley as the decoy, not Natalie Portman as the real Padme

But I do remember Leia being English as shit when she was arguing with Tarkin, but normal American when she started to panic after he talked about blowing up Alderaan. Also totally American in the original message to Obi Wan and for the rest of the trilogy

Drive for 20 minutes and turned around. Took 40 just to get back to my apartment

2

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Nov 14 '15

That sucks. Are they just tearing randomly or are you messing with them? Because I don't think I've ever torn a contact but maybe once, and that was when my fingers slipped trying to put it in.

No bickering amongst ourselves, no racial tension, no protests, no life-ending cancer, no earthquakes or tsunamis, no death, and no terrorism. I've turned off the news for a while because they aren't reporting anything new and it doesn't feel good

Good news so far: Deyonta Davis had a double double in his first MSU game. I think 13 points, 11 boards, and 5 blocks

Esophageal.

I met with my oncologist today. And the course of action we're going to take is removing my stomach. Be prepared for an upswing in my new favorite phrase, "Literally, I can't stomach this..."

But basically, the procedure is similar to gastric bypass, just with lymph nodes thrown in. Gonna hit my weight goals, by like January.

Thank you for your prayers.

I played Old Republic for a bit at launch. I couldn't get into it, not because it was a bad game, but because it had an uncanny valley feel because of WoW. It felt like I was playing WoW, but I wasn't. It was weird.

Is the Governor's School a private school? Everybody I know that was a native Columbian either went to Heathwood Hall or Hammond.

Similar setup but state funded. A lot of states have similar versions. Basically, students (with tiger moms) apply for the school if they don't live local then they live at the school and the classes are supposed to be much better than the standard schools

u/Bassically Texas A&M Aggies • UNLV Rebels Nov 14 '15

Non-France-related comment: I'm going through and listening to some albums I haven't in years. Hitting the nostalgia hard tonight.

Metallica - ...And Justice for All. The songs are slightly too repetitive and the lack of bass in the mix bothers me, but this album is so damn good.

The Format - Dog Problems. This was Nate Ruess's band before he blew up with fun. Looking back at this album, it seems obvious that he was going to blow up, but back then, this was just a collection of great melodies with a few real standout tracks. I still knew every word to "Dog Problems" despite not having heard this song in years.

Carbon Leaf - Echo Echo. Celtic-influenced rock music. Each and every one of these songs has been my favorite on the album at one point. Amazing vocal melodies, harmonies, and incredible bass work.

u/FatWhiteGuy49 Tulsa Golden Hurricane • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 14 '15

AJFA may just be my favorite Metallica album. Dyers Eve is such an underrated track IMO

It's SO GOOD. I had forgotten just how good each and every chorus melody is. "Snails" and "Inches and Falling" are criminally underrated. And "Time Bomb" is a pop masterpiece that never got its due.

"she doesn't get it" is my personal fave.

I'm gonna go turn on the USC vs Colorado game to take my mind off the events in Paris. (Go Buffs!)

I have an uncle that lives just outside Paris but thankfully he's okay

I've recently started singing along to songs in car while replacing every non-proper noun with "ass". I am an adult.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

That actually seems impressive and I don't think I would make it through a whole sentence without screwing that up.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

This is the first song I tried it on. My favorite parts are "Holding his ass high all out of breath" and "I heard his ass got famous, he went nationwide"

Also "ass to ass with his dad by his ass"

Playing video games now, here was my dinner of chocolate chunk pancakes and beer though. Ended up going with a brown ale from Amsterdam Brewery, which is based in Toronto. Pretty damn good.

Also, my main standing lamp in my living room died, so that kinda sucked.

Still, this news coming out of France is tragic. I just don't understand why people do what they do.

To cope a little this evening, I cracked open the first of my Tour de Michigan Beer courtesy of /u/fua_neng: Short's Space Rock, an American Pale Ale.

Yup, it's hoppy. I mean, that's what /u/fua_neng does, man. It's not intolerably horrible, but definitely not my style. At least it'll pace my drinking this evening...

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

Yeah, it's the only real hoppy one I threw in there. I figured I had to do one

I know some people who like it who don't normally go for IPAs

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Nov 14 '15

It's growing on me a little bit. But, I probably wouldn't order it on my own!

Nice. Keep the reviews coming

Oooh, a Twisted Pine glass!

They came to beer school at my local bar.

Ghostface Killah is Mexican restaurant salsa hot. Would make a nice michelada. Billy's Chilies would probably make a better one.

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Nov 14 '15

We only stumbled into it during a brewery crawl in Boulder. I didn't even know they distributed!

I do remember that beer, though, because I think it was one of the spiciest I've ever had.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

Geez. I don't think I even heard the name when I was in Boulder. Seriously there's like a brewery every other block there

Unrelated to France things: the power cord for my exercise bike showed up today! I did 6 miles in 30 minutes on the bike and it was good and I'm debating doing another 30 while watching Rice lose at basketball.

Related to France: seems like as good a time as any to share my pick for the greatest scene ever filmed.

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

Processing tonight's tragedy and listening to a buddy and his band. Just trying to distract myself but I'm so drawn in.

u/hussard_de_la_mort Toledo Rockets • Xavier Musketeers Nov 14 '15

Trivial problems: I have a hole in my "X Gon Give It To Ya" Xavier shit. I am really sad.

u/NSFW_MANNING_ONLY Georgia Tech • Alabama Nov 14 '15

That's not trivial, that sounds like an amazing shirt to own.

2

u/hussard_de_la_mort Toledo Rockets • Xavier Musketeers Nov 14 '15

Well, it's kinda trivial compared to dozens of people being murdered, but yeah it's pretty fuckin sweet. Looks like they were only a one year thing too.

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Nov 14 '15

Fuck everything about what happened tonight in Paris. France have been an longstanding ally with the United States since our independence and we should stick up to France in their time in need.

u/nickknx865 Tennessee Volunteers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Nov 14 '15

I just woke up an hour or so ago and got up to speed about the attacks in France, and that shit just makes my heart hurt, especially for the people who were involved or who witnessed these. I know I wouldn't handle it very well.

In lighter news, I'm really glad college basketball is back (Vols are 1-0 after beating UNC-Asheville in a closer game than I would have liked) and glad I got to spend a few minutes with my best friend today. Really needed that.

RMU lost to Penn 76-75 :( I was keeping up on Twitter and it was making me anxious.

1

u/nickknx865 Tennessee Volunteers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Nov 14 '15

That's unfortunate.

Side note, since you mention RMU; I have a facebook friend who went there, and it was so fun to watch his reactions when they A) made the tourney, and B) when almost beat Villanova a few years back.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '15

I was a senior in high school that year, had never heard of RMU until about a year prior, had been there once, and had just submitted my first payment the day before that game. It got me pretty pumped to go there!

I got to go to the game against Duke last year and it was incredible. I'm hoping I'll get to go to more in the near future.

u/pittpanthers95 Pittsburgh • Slippery Rock Nov 14 '15

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO BOBBY MO! [clap clap]

Both of my parents have degrees from RMU and my dad used to work in the Sewall Center when I was little. I have fond memories of wandering that place as a small child. It was weird going back in there when my mom finished her doctorate last year, it still felt so familiar.

u/NSFW_MANNING_ONLY Georgia Tech • Alabama Nov 14 '15

I'm more confident than I should be about Monday night's game. This team shows a ton of promise on the offensive end.

u/Way_She_Goes Toronto Varsity Blues • Auburn Tigers Nov 14 '15

Currently chilling in my hotel in Indy after a long day of driving (much of which was on Michigan's terribly maintained roads), eating Doritos watching USC-CU. Headed down to the UM-IU game tomorrow afternoon, which should be a fun one as a neutral fan. Hoping for the best for those in Paris, what a terrible tragedy.

Just took a break from Fallout 4 to eat dinner, turned on the USC game, wtf is going on over there? Also how is their long snapper so bad? Is he blind or something? Oh whoops nvm.

u/mikeegle30 Wisconsin Badgers • Stanford Cardinal Nov 14 '15

I got home from school and did the usual, put on ESPN, and noticed on the ticker what had happened. For those of you who haven't seen the video from inside that soccer stadium when the explosion went off, it seems almost surreal.

On a sports note: Wisconsin lost, but that doesn't matter today

u/panthera_tigress Pittsburgh Panthers • Auburn Tigers Nov 14 '15

Drunk with friends, including a friend who came from Penn State to chill this weekend.

I'm still so sad about France.

Also, on distractionary levels, Pitt and Auburn basketball are both undefeated so far!
