What if You’re NOT Feeling Merry & Bright This Christmas? Ep. 333
Переглядів 521 годину тому
Christmas time is here! We’re supposed to feel merry and bright! But, what if we don’t feel joyful at all? What if we’re pretty darn miserable? Maybe you’re grieving-it’s the first Christmas since your father passed away. Maybe you’re lonely-you’re staring down yet another round of holiday parties without a plus 1. Maybe you’re worried-your kid’s hanging with the wrong crowd. Maybe you’re depre...
Criminalization of Masculinity: A Pastor’s Response to the Daniel Penny Trial Ep. 332

Another current event weaves its way into our series on masculinity . . . This week I heard Newsweek’s Batya Ungar-Sargon’s take on the Daniel Penny prosecution. She viewed it in a way I hadn’t considered. She framed the prosecution itself as an attack on masculinity. I wanted to hear Elliott’s thoughts as a pastor, husband, and father. Has our society completely turned its back on men’s God gi...

Post Election Stress Disorder: Remaining Connected Despite the Division Ep. 328

The election is behind us, but the division remains. And, the demonstrations are just getting going. Movements like 4B and Blue Bracelets express rage at men and Trump voters in general.

I think we can 🙏🏻 And, ...

Let’s Talk About It! The Misogyny of Progressives Ep. 326

On a day when many Progressives will go to the polls to vote for a “woman,” I’d like to share a few thoughts around the misogyny inherent to Leftists’ ideology. Their logic breaks down immediately as they can’t define what a woman is. So, how can they get excited about voting for a woman hoping she’ll be the first woman president? 🤷‍♀️ They’ve already established that womanhood is meaningless!!...

Gender Affirming Care for Children: Does it “Follow the Science?” with David Wayne Ep. 324

It’s such a heated issue-and people on each side believe those who disagree with them are abusing children. In the last 10 years, we’ve witnessed an exponential increase in the number of kids who feel as if they’re the wrong sex. Although Gender Dysphoria Disorder remains a psychiatric illness per the DSM-5-TR, it currently is viewed quite differently when compared to other mental conditions. W...

Elliott and I didn’t grow up with a lot of political discourse. Our family delved into a wide array of topics, but as educators and musicians, we tended to discuss chord charts and pop tunes more than public policy.

Recently, I heard a term, “testosteroni.” It was used in a pejorative manner to describe “testosterone-laden” men.

Is testosterone inherently a bad thing? Does it cause problems for men?How does it impact our perception of ...

    I actually feel like I’m the guy in this relationship. I’m catholic, she’s hindu. When we met I was im a pretty irreligious stage of my life but many things have happened since then. But I met her and we’ve been going out for 1.5 years. But i’m seeing this family friction already. I don’t want to end up like the people in this story. So I called her and voiced these concerns, among some other ones not linked to religion. She said please don’t go because she loves me and she’ll do anything. But I know if she converts just to stay with me she’ll probably come to resent me. Her family would probably have friction with her. And if she doesn’t I’ll end up like these two in the video. Suffering for all these years in vain. This sucks

    For me it depends, if we were in a relationship and i get ghosted, if they try to come back i absolutely confront them about it, i will full blown call them a coward, and tell them that behavior is emotionally immature and mean and they need to grow the fuck up and start doing the hard thing and giving closure. You try to circle back i will bite your head off verbally. Because those men need a reality check and at that point i dont care and i dont want another shot. Ive made several men cry with that. In a relationship i am usually very nice, caring and nurturing, but if ive been wronged they find out real quick i am no doormat.

    "A pattern having a hard time cultivating those female friendships". There is much truth to that and personalities do and can differ in that respect, however; on the other side of the coin in my experience, many women are fickle, selfish and petty. Most demand that one walks on eggshells around them, otherwise; they cut you right off. Many hold grudges for years, are crisis collectors, cannot accept an appology, stand you up, are users and ghost a friend when it no longer suits them. I've seen women claw each other's eyes out, burn each other's clothes in the name of jealousy and envy; literally wishing the epic ruin of another woman who seems to be thriving in life. Are you kidding?? I say this because I'm a woman. Certain women will allow themselves to be horribly abused by a male partner yet ghost the very female friend who tries to help them by offering encouragement to leave the abusive situation and question them as to why they hung on so long to a criminal jerk. Many end up in dire straits with psychological problems for the choices they've made in life and begrudge their close female friend for being wise in choosing a good partner in her life. I refuse to entertain the notion of walking on egshells around crappy women. Some are users, takers or emotional manipulators prompting you into do things for them out of pity and then GHOST when they aren't having their way. Women with depression and psychological issues who ghost for months (even years) on end, only to call up again expecting their bad behaviour to be absolved...and it's always their recipient's fault if they aren't accepted back. Some ghost because it feeds their ego to have somebody run after them for their so called friendship. Yes, I've been ghosted....and lucky to have a loving, supportive partner with no time waisted on fickle females. Not all women are like this, mind you. When you have the uncanny feeling or intuition that you must walk on eggshells to retain a female friendship, it's not a true friendship to begin with and likely to sour on a hair's trigger at some point. Why would you want to be around such person? For your own well being, it's best to forgive a ghoster and move on. Friends will bicker, but it's how they resolve their issues in the end that bonds them. It also helps if women hold the same values as one another, ackowledge and repsect each other's boundaries to make it a lifelong friendship. Also important is to be women of their word, put their money where their mouth is and not take their friendship for granted. You cannot count on someone who ghosts or stand you up.

    I agree. I think his behavior makes it clear that he doesn’t want to give you any impressions that you all are exclusive. I also agree that he likely has multiple women he keeps in contact with this way. It’s actually a very easy thing to do. A few texts a day is nothing to a man who needs a lot of attention.

    this seems like a formula for misery. what's wrong with accepting "it's not working out right now"? if we can't accept that things are not going well, we're never going to reflect and change our approach. this just seems like a convenient re-frame of someone who has issues with control.

    • @loveandlifemedia
      @loveandlifemedia 3 роки тому

      I absolutely agree we should reflect and change anything about our approach that isn't serving us. And no, there's nothing wrong with accepting that it's not working out right now. At the same time, if we can maintain what ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) calls "psychological flexibility," we can view our current circumstances as part of our journey. It's building into who we are now and who we're becoming.

    I used to think that love could cure anything but it only fed my narc's enormous ego. It is important to be wise when dealing with a narcissist and I’m glad that cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone. I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. I’m here in Nevada USA and able to access my husband’s phone with a cloned app even while he was away in the UK and cheating on me. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with Cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and deleted messages from my phone through a remote link to a programmed app containing cloned cell information without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. My husband also tried to use the coronavirus outbreak as a means to get back to me but I’m not stupid enough to allow someone so toxic back into my life. I’m finally going through divorce with lots of evidence against him. I read all his 3 years far back deleted messages and recent chats on Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram and also the GPS location of his phone at all times. You can contact this great hacker “Gavin” via Gmail (cyberhackinggenius) or text and speak to him directly on his phone and WhatsApp : +19256795146 and I do hope you’ll find peace with your heart after finding the truth just like myself!
