i'm really glad she's sharing this and i'm also glad she's out of that situation

Is this Bill Hader?

[evett]

article says she was with this person for 6+ years so no

[genbu_no_miko24]

Don't think so because her and Bill were only together for a little over a year apparently. Whereas she was with the ex for 6 years.

Nah they didn’t date that long. I googled and she dated Ben Richardson from 2014-2020. Not sure if it’s him. I’m still googling b/c I’m nosey lol

"she created embryos" as in IVF treatments?

[bttrsondaughter]

when you freeze eggs they need to be fertilized. on the podcast she was talking about how her boyfriend as basically a husband and the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with. so i'm guessing they agreed to plan ahead and go through that process so they could have kids a little later.

You can freeze unfertilized eggs or embryos. Embryos have a better chance of surviving the thaw, and there’s significant drop off from eggs retrieved to viable embryos once fertilized, but many, many people freeze unfertilized eggs.

wow TV has been lying to me all these years, I feel betrayed! thanks for the info I didn’t realize there was more than one way to do it

[eva_hagberg]

Jesus.
I still can't wrap my head around the fact that survivors are so insanely diverse, yet abusers are absolutely textbook. How is it possible that same schemes work on such different people? I'm grateful that Ms. Kendrick admits that she couldn't recognize it for some time due to the outline being different, even though the core was still exactly the same.

Wow this is incredibly similar to the situation with my ex

There was an inherent thing of me being so rejectable that this person who loved me very deeply for six years, it suddenly occurred to him, how awful I was or something. That shame, that lingers much longer."

Man this hits hard

[yousaidlog]

I feel this so much. For the last three years that I was with my ex, I felt like I was the impossible one, that I was the one making things unpleasant. I look back and I'm like I tried so hard to make things better while he didn't do shit and still complained. But that lingering feeling that I'm too negative and draining to be around definitely remains with me.

[asnindie]

Same. I had this exact feeling when my 5 year relationship ended overnight. What I didn't realise was that the person had already decided to leave and strung me along till their next relationship was solid so they could jump without no real change for them. Looking back I don't believe I put up with that shit for so long.

What I didn't realise was that the person had already decided to leave and strung me along till their next relationship was solid so they could jump without no real change for them.

Holy shit this is exactly what happened to me. And I couldn’t understand how they could move on so fast and get into a new relationship immediately as I was traumatised but then I realised that basically they were planning this for a year and slowly moving on I just didn’t notice cause we were long distance for a bit. Men are insane.
