and starkitty is admittedly one of them.



confused thats not very nice


what wasn't nice? we all agree the Glenn Close character was crazy, and starkitty has admitted that she has felt the same way as the Glenn Close character. so my comment was an accurate assessment of her own admissions.

allow me to make an analogy:

Thug 1 walks up to Victim 1 and shoots him in the chest. Victim 1 dies.

Thug 2 walks up to Victim 2 and shoots him in the chest. Victim 2 lives.

Thug 1 is given life in prison, Thug 2 is given 10 years. Why? Thug 1 isn't more dangerous than Thug 2. they committed the same action, and it is the action, or the INTENTION, that makes them dangerous. the result is irrelevent.

same with being crazy. if you have the same INTENTIONS as a crazy person, you're crazy. the result is irrelevent.
this message brought to you by logic.

Your analogy doesn't help you. You're specifically referring to the mens rea and the actus reus as being the same, when they are quite the opposite: "and it is the action, or the INTENTION, that makes them dangerous". that 'or' is the difference.

a far better analogy would be:

Thug 1 walks up to Victim 1 and shoots him in the chest. Whether the Victim dies is irrelevant.

Thug 2 seriously wants to walk up to Victim 2 and shoot him in the chest, but doesn't.

And then there's a real difference. That's where madness comes in to play; taking it that extra step from inaction, to action. Feeling the same way has nothing to do with taking the action and failing in one's aims, which is what your analogy did.

She was the classic Borderline Personality.

I've never felt that way. I don't allow a man to make me feel that desperate, EVER.

And there's no point in calling the significant other, because you shouldn't be going out with married men EVER.

And yeah, it was Dan's fault for being a slimeball in the first place.


never? you've never had that awkward period when he stops calling, and you wonder if you should call, should you leave it alone, did you do something wrong, is he acting weird, is it you...



I say FUCK HIM.

There's too many men out in the world to worry about why some A-hole isn't calling me. wink

Actually I've never been involved with anyone who was married or in a relationship with someone else.


oy, let me break it down further.

the person doesn't have to be involved with someone else. just sometimes in a relationship, whatever the terms of the relationship are but you are still uncertain, you can feel crazy. you can wonder if it's you, if it's all in your head, does this person even really like you, are they playing you, etc.

if this is foreign to you, then bravo. you are supremely confident.


Can't say I have experience with that either. Not that I'm so damn confident, but I'm not paranoid either. Don't think I'd be with someone I wouldn't completely trust anyway.

my point is that we've all felt that way at one time or another. generally we don't act on it, but we can relate.

All I can say is that it's a very bad situation, and thank God she wasn't as insane as Alex. boxed

I have felt that way and had someone act kinda like that to me but on a smaller scale.

Like leave notes on your car while you are at the grocery store that say 'Im looking for you' or when I finally decide its safe for me to date someone new he starts showing up where we are and trying to pick a fight with my new man. Ya its crazy, but he was the one that cheated on me.


yes, i have dealt with some insane men. at least one (right after i broke up with him).

the weekend after we broke up, i went to a club in a nearby state that was broadcasting on the radio. so i had kinda made friends with the DJ, and he says (on the air) "this next song goes out to Jenn", naturally it was a prince song, maybe adore.

so.

my newly ex hears this, drives to the club and waits hours, sitting there stewing, for me (he assumes) to walk outside. as i'm walking to my car he comes out of nowhere and starts following me, calling me all kinds of names, belittling me on the street. i don't remember exactly what happened, but i remember thinking if i let him in my car he was going to try to kill me.

This post seems to have been ignored.

That is a frickin terrible situation.

yeah, it sucked. fortunately i got out of it. prior to this instance, he tried to strangle me. i had bruises around my neck for weeks. it was a bad, unhealthy relationship. my first, actually. but i did get out of it.

[color=violet:40f70f5b29]Fooling around with a married man is basically playing with fire. U will get burned. It takes two ppl in a relationship and both have a choice. Glenn Close's character Alex was a psychopath and she brought it upon herself because she had a choice but decided to pursue the impossible dream. Of course Dan was at fault 2 , he should've kept his pants on, honoured his wife & not root around.

I've never felt this way, frankly I don't understand how someone can fall to such a low. Life is too bloody short for such complications & no-one is worth the friggin' effort.

root? Are u an Aussie?

root, grouse, she'll be 'right, suffer in ya jocks, that's all I ever hear lol

granted, there are degrees of crazy. but who of us has not felt that way at one time or another? i know i have. i haven't acted on it in the way she did (bunny stew) but i still felt that way.

who of us hasn't wanted to call the significant other? and who of us have?

and who think it was all michael douglas' (dan's) fault in the first place?


Tell me your kidding starkitty.She was fucking psycho.
