I’ve had another bad argument with my narc husband tonight, it felt like the 1000th.
We keep going over the same things endlessly just to come back full circle in a matter of weeks.
I’m trying my best to explain to him that his lack of respect affects our relationship and the role model I want us to be for our kids, but his reaction is always super harsh (then I won’t be talking to you at all!)

It makes me want to smash my head on the wall, except I wouldn’t have the energy to do so, aaargh

What works though?
He’s so smart otherwise, but anything regarding emotions and feelings is unbelievably hard to get through, and he actively resists thought experiments, like he can’t even pretend to understand what I mean

I guess I’ve just lost another day trying to improve our relationship

I’ve been in Istanbul since Tuesday and tomorrow I will fly back home. I have not managed to get inside the park from the main entrance in Gühlane. Every day I ask and the guards say “today the park is closed”.
What is the matter? Are Turkish people allowed inside the park?

I’m finding a lot of offers online, some with admittedly good prices, but I don’t want to end up in a tourist trap.. what should I look for? Where are the best boats docked? What package is best for a family of 4 (ideally meal or at least snacks included)?

Rant della domenica mattina: cerco casa da 5 anni e non trovo mai nessun annuncio in cui il prezzo di vendita sia in linea con i valori dell’Osservatorio del Mercato Immobiliare. Quando mi interessa un appartamento e chiedo all’agenzia il perché di questa discrepanza c’è sempre una scusa pronta (l’esposizione, la zona, le ristrutturazioni etc)

Per definizione i valori OMI sono valori minimi e massimi espressi in €/mq rilevati nelle transazioni immobiliari di un semestre *in una zona molto ristretta di un Comune*.

Possibile che a me interessino sempre gli outliers? Non credo, anche perché non cerco una casa nuova e più volte sono andata a vedere appartamenti di classe A/3, vecchi e da ristrutturare.

Per contesto, paese di 40000 anime nella costa marchigiana

We were at dinner at my aunt’s and she asked us what we plan to do tomorrow. My kids (15 and 6) didn’t even know it’s Mother’s Day. Obviously there won’t be any surprise gift or card from them. My narc husband may or may not have bought me something, but he didn’t tell the kids, so what is even the point?
I dread waking up tomorrow and be reminded of how little he values and cares about me.
