She may have self esteem issues. She could be codependent.

My stepmother did these sorts of things in the beginning, but she was still in her twenties at that time. I didn't understand then (being just a kid ofc) but I've forgiven her now. And to her credit she's mellowed quite a bit as well. But this peace was many many years in the making. I think you both should seek couple's therapy to raise and discuss both of your issues in a safe loving space, and it may become clear during those sessions that she needs to also have individual therapy.

If she balks at couple's therapy, then THAT is a red flag.... edit: no this is not even true. It could scare her to death. But reassure her that you want to work through these things so that you can strengthen your bond and learn to better communicate with each other.

Nah, it just felt like it because it costs so much to start the machine.

My 2006 RX factory radio unit had cassette and cd decks. Sometime around 2012, I remember feeling like I had unlocked a secret backdoor because an audiobook that I wanted from the library had a crazy long waitlist for the cd edition. I hadnt used cassettes in decades, but somehow I had the idea to check to see if they offered that audiobook on cassette. They did! And it was available to check out immediately!

I replaced the radio in that car shortly after that because I needed a bluetooth connection and handsfree capability.

While you're in there, may as well do a little Putin.

I imagined all the details for the items, but didn't pay attention to the person. I don't like looking at people's faces.

I just watched the documentary Free Solo last weekend. I have never been climbing, not because I didn't want to. But now I also don't want to.

 

Mine would be the time my dad rigged a harness and "hung" himself from the carport beam, dressed to look like a stuffed Halloween decoration. He would grab at the bigger kids and parents when they came up to the door for candy. Scared the living bejeezus out of them.
