How can I stop being obsessed?

Anonymous wrote:
I know it's a fantasy, but being obsessed is a nice feeling. It's like being "in love". It makes me walk around with a smile on my face.

But my fear is that I'll say or do something to upset my partner or drive away this other friend who I value as a friend first and most importantly.

My partner is kind and generous, and aside from lack of communication and participation in the household, I have no complaints.

And we've got young kids.

Put yourself in your partner’s shoes. If your partner were in the same situation, how would you feel?

Have you thought about some sort of marriage counseling? It might be helpful. No one is happy with every aspect of their partner’s personality, but if there are only a few things you’re unhappy with, and you have young children, the scale is heavily tipped towards staying with your partner. So you need to work on your relationship.

Sit your partner down and tell them how you feel. A lack of communication is death to a relationship. Of course, don’t tell them about your developing feelings for this person online. That would just hurt them and not solve anything.

But please take a break from talking to this person online for the sake of your own mental health at the very least. You’re creating a fantasy world in your head and it will hurt you in the long run.

Nature isnt planning on being so tolerant of crazy humans who are destroying mother earth anymore.

Well.....we could nuke it like in the movie "The Core" There's something about the swirling effect...like a toilet in the process of flushing.

I never heard of this movie, so I had to google it. Aaron Eckhert? You can sign me up to watch it 😊

This is good. Thanks.

My partner doesn't communicate at all, or really do anything except watch TV and play video games alone. I'm lonely.

This other person wears their heart on their sleeve, listens, shares thoughts and feelings, and I have no reason to believe is interested in me.

I don't tend to obsess, I'm usually usually pretty chill.

I’m sorry you’re going through such a hard time with your partner. That can be really frustrating, and honestly, I myself have fantasized about exes, people on the internet, etc. when I’m unhappy in my relationship.

You need to take a good, hard look at your life and your partner. What are the positives and negatives about your relationship? What do you each bring to the table? Bc if you’re unhappy, and nothing is changing... it definitely will stay that way unless you either 1. Leave or 2. Talk to your partner.

Also - keep in mind that on the internet, we all have time to think about what we’re going to say to one another. I can review this post several times before hitting the send button. So what you’re seeing here, or on a different site, is really that person’s best face.

LOL

Is it bad etiquette to recline on a flight? I just don’t understand why they would have the option to recline if you’re not supposed to use it. For the most part, I’ve only been on international flights so everyone is reclined and sleeping.

TBH... I vaguely remember both of these movies, just the overall plot lines. I should rewatch.

Hey, we might get hit by a reset button and get to start all over again.

PS Reset Button = Asteroid

Why do young people like socialism so much?

I’m with Lano on this - why post a question if you’re not willing to read anything contrary to what you think? So... Lano answers thoughtfully and you dismiss him and ask him to leave but Helpcop backs up your point of view so he’s a lot of help for you?

That’s not cool.

Im more depressed than ever today.

I'm more of a gin + tonic person, but I'm down for a hard cider or mead too. I also like all of these things even when I'm happy lol.

Solidarity in our depression (+ anxiety for me). I completely relate.
