Yea, what the fuck. I'm still having trouble believing this isn't some slow-roll week long troll from bored Sutehk.

Bros, I was out for the weekend. Delayed responses incoming.



How was DW not given more props for this glorious contextual burn?



Goddamn it is bizarre how similar your situation was to mine, except my ex wasn't hot. She was also from Dallas, also was prone to fits of insane rage (alcohol not necessarily required), and the feelings you describe are EXACTLY what I was thinking during & after the crazy. She always thought an apology was afix, like everything was magically better when she said "sorry" after an hour+ of unloading every nasty thing she could think of at maximum volume long after a cease fire was requested and following me around as I tried in vain to escape and cool off. "Sorry" doesn't fix that. "Sorry" doesn't fix it when you crossed so many boundaries that I ended up laying on the floor face down and reminding myself that I'm too pretty for prison so I don't punch you right in the crazy whore mouth. Lingering effects abound. One of which was not wanting to touch her for a while afterwards. Longer term, there was a serious loss of respect. She said I didn't respect her near the end, and she was right. Between the hair-trigger psychopathy and other issues, I had lost respect for her over time. Though I think, in her twisted view, she thought this was a victory for her. Something like "he lost respect for me, this justifies every thing I've ever done instead of explaining the long-term consequences of my actions!"

So anyway, welcome back to being single. Watch thisepisode of ATHFfor some self-betterment tips from Carl.

Yeah, you touched on "respect", and that's at least 50% of the equation. Once you suffer through a three hour rage fest that includes everything from childish insults to her shoving you and calling you a "pussy", you lose not only respect for her, but yourself as well. "If she was a dude, I would fucking deck her" plays over and over in your mind, but it is small solace to the fact that you're still getting browbeaten and shoved around by a girl half your size. The result of these repeated incidents is that you can't help but actually start feeling like a pussy, and losing respect for yourself.

What's worse, is that she feels that everything she says while drunk and crazy shouldn't be held against her. She feels that "since it really isn't her, but the alcohol" I should simply forgive everything she says. Doubly mystifying is how after emerging from her drunk black hole, she'd act like the previous three hours of rage never even existed, do a total 180, and want make-up sex. Then she'd get angry and ragey again when I'd say "you were just wishing I would die slowly of AIDS about an hour ago, I'm not in the mood to fuck". The whole pattern of behavior just fucking boggles my mind.

I had a similar situation to both of you with an ex-gf of mine. Get her in the wrong mood and suddenly its every insult and attack you can think of. Followed the next day by "sorry's" and attempts to flirt and have makeup sex. I had the same kind of response as both of you, I was physically revolted by it and also insulted. She was treating me like all she had to do was offer me sex and everything should be forgiven. So glad I moved the fuck on past that. Does make me wonder if that routine actually works on some guys though. Personally, after a huge fight, the last thing I want is any sort of intimate contact.

It does work on lots of men. I should know since I was one of them. In my early twenties I dated a girl that would go off on these explosions absent the drinking. For a while it would be fight, fuck, forget. Honestly the angry grudgey makeup sex was better then normal run of the mill stuff. Finally I got fed up with it though, after another round of what a useless human being I was followed by her trying to get in bed naked and horny that night I decided enough was enough. Got up, called her best friend and told her to pick up the psycho in the next hour. Got all her stuff she had at my place together while she called me every name in the book, I think turtle dick might have been my favorite, and put it out on the porch. Friend came, picked her up and I never spoke with her again. The three weeks of angry texts from her made for some good drinking discussion with my buddies though.

Hold the fuck up. Didn't he say that his visit was the husband's suggestion? This is either very trollolol or Sutekh is going for a ride on the crazy train and he is planning on taking some friends.

I don't think it would compromise their marriage, I mean have you ever heard the old adage: "What you don't know can't hurt you"?

This is either a troll or Sutekh is not a human being but some sort of alien trying to understand us and failing.
