I like Ian but its good that Chemda didn't go on a date with him. He is too much her classic type.

[Apia resurrected]

I would like to know how the inprint on ones brain happens who we are attracted to.
I need a partner who is more emotionally stable than me, I need to be the "wild" one in a relationship and im only medium wild at best.
An addict would be a complete turnoff for me.
I need someone i can buy and finance real estate with.

And hey i have other problems! Im also in therapy but for intrusive thoughts and depression that results from phases of intrusive thoughts running wild! ( the last 2 years were good and they are way less now)

Btw the name Keith is for me more complicated than
Chemda. Keith sounds very unusual for my ears.
And we have a Ch in polish.
If I wouldn't know English thats how I would write
Keith: Kis


Here in Germany the name Keith is extremely uncommon, I know no one with this name here.
Chemda is also unknown as a name, but for German ears it would be better to be named Chemda.

I'm not a "cat" or a "dog" person because I just love animals, period. But I do have to laugh at cat haters who love to wax poetic about the wonders of dogs and forget all the instances of dogs eating babies feet, killing people, etc. They're all animals, dude. They all have the same capacity for violence.

When I see scratches all over someone’s arm, first thing I think of is Must be a dog person.

This is an impossible poll.

Also Ian said people are strange and I couldn’t help but think how pertinent the Doors song is. I love how genuine y’all are.

I also thought about it.

We had a bird, hamster, and several cats growing up, but my parents considered dogs too obnoxious and dirty to own as pets. In sheer contrast, American culture practically idolizes dogs, so I’m a happy neutral on dogs, but prefer cats.

I will say, I don’t like getting licked in the face, or dog slobber, which my bf’s dog takes the liberty to do. It isn’t as traumatic as the first time I got decked in the face with a large, overly slobbery dog tongue and dog breathe, but cat licks are dryer and more tolerable than over the-top dog slobber any day of the goddamn week, idc what anyone says.

I listen to the marathon and listened to this part again.
I realized that I dont like Iain.
Everything is about him and his addiction. He also has no incentive to ever stop. He is the identified problem child in their relationship.
He is in the center of attention with all his problems and know next to nothing about her.



What an unhealthy dynamic. If my friend said he loved cocaine more than me I wouldnt just take it. I know i would say, next time you have problems call cocaine i guess.

Not to punish him but to respect myself.
And of course Chemda is right, being addicted to help others makes you feel like the one who doesn't have problems.
