    Tangential, but ever since we watched Obsession I can’t get up to pee in the middle of the night anymore without my girlfriend shrieking “STAAAAAAAY!!”

      Count your blessings. That’s seriously awesome.

      ~For funsies go buy those housebreaking pee pads for pets, and leave one right by the door. When you leave make sure your girlfriend is standing nearby so when she asks why that’s there, you can tell her it’s so when she *waves hands* “does things”, the pad will catch it for her.~

    Most real life people i know would react with “get off me i dont want to be touched right now” when they are that mad because they are processing the emotion they are having and unwelcome touching like that can come off as not permitting anger as an emotion to process.

    And i understand on the face of it that sounds harsh to bystanders but i can also understand that moment is about learning and processing and managing hard emotions for that person needing to hold that moment for themselves.
