No change ever lasts...at least it's not supposed to. Constant improvement is what Life is supposed to be about, not stagnation. So the only thing lasting that you can achieve once you start making changes, is staying on a road of constant change of improvement.

But I like you too....

I didn't say you ONLY like funny lookin' things...I only said that your trolls and Althom have that in common. Besides, your question wasn't about me, it was about you. And your trolls. And maybe Althom, can't remember.

I think my tolerance for humanity is going down the drain. How do I get it back, or do I even try?

Mach said:

are you piggy-backing my question? does that mean we each still get five? or does that take both of us to four? and why hasn't he answered the question, piggy backed or not?

bluesbaby said:

Of course you try. Why waste what God gave you by simply becoming another reason for yet another person to start losing their tolerance for humanity, too? Sheesh.

What do you do? Prayer. Lots and lots of Prayer. Prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer. And vitamins, cuz maybe it's biological. make yourself physically healthy as well, it connects with your spirit. Read uplifting stories about the human spirit. Watch movies about the triumph of good over evil. Stay away from Althom.

And give thanks everyday.

I didn't read the whole thing, but if it has anything whatsoever to do with championing one physical female type over another, I'm against it. We need to stay the fuck away from the physical.

you ARE good!
these questions are free, right? (Don't answer! I still have four more to think up!)

Why'd my boyfriend take nekkid pics of that girl?

And why does it still make me feel like shit?

And why does it still make me feel like shit to think about him lookin at that other chick?

1) Because she asked him to. You asked me this before. My answer hasn't changed.
2) Because you still look at it as "nekkid pics" and not artistic photography, which what it was, and what your boyfriend happens to be (or wants to be)...a photographer. Were they good? Does he have talent? Were they artistic and tasteful? Are you able to see past the "he saw his female friend nekkid" mentality and view it as "he was creative and expressive"? You also still feel that way because in reality he should have been more understanding towards your feelings and viewpoint, without concern to being "right" or not. Then again, same goes for you towards his.
3) Because it was disrespectful. And if you have any self-respect, someone being disrespectful towards you doesn't just go away on its own. Plus his answer of thinking her outfit was "cute" was some cheesy, lame bullshit. If he had said "I'm sorry, love. That was rude of me. I just looked, nothing more" it would have done a helluva lot more.

You know all this, tho. Don't ask questions you already know the answers to.

How many is "so many"? We tend to over-exaggerate when we're depressed ("The world sucks, everything sucks, nothing ever goes right for me, everyone hates me"). 12 months and 15 people is "so many"...three months and two people is "not that many". So first thing is to figure out if you're maximizing the sadness by exaggerating...and then if so, realize that you are. That'll be one way to help it go the fuck away.

Second, work on yourself. Not them. Not the relationship you had with them or that you wanna have. On yourself. Wanna feel better? Engage yourself in things and people who give you the positive feedback you deserve instead of those which focus on your perceived flaws. Distance yourself from anyone who doesn't show you respect. Learn to live without their approval. Write in a journal daily, every thought that enters your head. Get that shit out of your mind and onto paper. Realize how much of what you're feeling is due to ego, cuz quite frankly, a lot of what we feel is our egos talking moreso than our hearts and souls. Be thankful, and I don't just mean mouth the words. And most of all be patient. Everything doesn't have to work on your schedule, yanno.

Don't make me take off my belt.

Is a honeymoon tax deductible??...lol

Byron said:

well I think it is, since we could write it off, Ill ask my accountant

Natisse said:

Thank you.

Byron said:

1) He asked her.

2) I've tried to understand. It won't go away.

3) You're right.

...Okay.

thescandalouslife said:

Before, you told me she asked him...that's why I asked you if you ever asked him as well, and you said you hadn't. I said maybe you should.

With this revised info, my responses are:

1) I dunno.
2) Because, in addition to everything else I said, he asked her to. He needs a damn good reason for wanting her to, and I'm guessing he hasn't given one, and perhaps you haven't required one, not really.
3) Because you've already been given a reason to "wonder" with the female friend posing. So it's lingering there that he may be interested in others...or not as interested in you as you hope. Any action of his which reinforces that fear sticks out like a freakin' sore thumb.

Get your accountant to crunch the numbers, and get back to me. Maybe we could get the wedding and honeymoon in before the end of the fiscal quarter.

Buck up! Walk it off! And demand respect from your bf, no matter who your bf may be. Men want to believe that they're special in a woman's eyes. Having him realize you would only allow yourself to be loved by the best will make him feel that way. Also take personal stock of your thoughts. Make sure you're not exaggerating what is real simply because of what you feel. And stay away from Althom.
