Just starting a new thread for those who are following/supporting

I’m all over the place mentally at the moment as I said in my last thread but I’m still listening xx

People are getting quite involved with this poster and their story, I would caution caring TOO much as admirable and thoughtful as much of the advice is.

There is a certain push and pull pattern of posting which may be reeling some posters in to closer involvement in very distressing content. It may well be unintentional but also maybe not.

People can only change their own behaviour, not anyone else's.

There was a poster recently, wasn't there, who had more than one thread going, heartbreaking story, and a lot of people became so emotionally invested that when the person started asking privately for financial support, some posters were so intent on wanting to help that they did give money.

I can just see how the conversation would go
‘I don’t like it when you do xyz because it reminds me of …..’
’I didn’t hear you complaining about it last night’

OP when someone starts a sentence with 'I don't like it....'

The only acceptable response is 'I won't do it '

You have already suggested that there is no point in you telling him you don't like it because he will ignore you, argue against you, and continue doing it anyway.

Surely this tells you that this is not a happy relationship.

When are you going to understand that he just doesn't care what you want, like or don't like.
