Gaslighting? Not going there. Whatever you end up doing, I hope it works out for the both of you. I have no desire for this to go badly, I really don't. Good luck.

If providing her with some sort of tangible quality of life improvement is so paramount to your own well-being? I really would suggest waiting for a better time, or trying to help with something quicker and easier. Trying to cram a massive project such as teaching someone to read and write while...

Then I'm a little confused by your meaning behind "going no contact"? That usually means to cease interaction with someone. What does it mean to you?

I'm not really understanding your motive here. You don't seem to give a damn about this person really. In your last post alone you inferred they are overly vain and unintelligent. You're also planning to cut them out of your life after this visit anyway? Why the hell does it matter then if...

I'm sure they are at some things. Not to toot my own horn, but I would imagine when someone reads the things I write here, I come off as reasonably intelligent. Hopefully somewhat learned about various topics. Here's what I look like while trying to put my thoughts into text using my mobile...

No doot aboot it. :tup:

For me: Wake up as late as possible for making it to work on time. Swear at phone for emitting the beeping noise I told it too earlier. Eat a couple cookies while getting dressed. (Picked up this bad habit from when I was on Elavil. Now I always crave sugar in the morning.) Trip over...

The hideous white porcelain pineapple I found while scanning damaged items from our inventory.

When I was younger, this used to be the PC way to refer to a gay person. It never made sense to me for the exact reason you stated. It made it seem like a person's sexual orientation was somehow a conscious choice. When applied to someone who say, behaves in a way that's atypical of...

If your feeling suicidal. Go to your local emergency room or phone a suicide hotline.

We can't possibly know what else has happened in your life if you don't mention it. The entirety of your introductory post is about a dressing down by your former employer. On it's own, that's not a criterion a trauma. We cannot read your mind. If you don't say it, we can't know it.

Did they tell you what they thought it was this time?

It is a big thing for you, and that's ok, it's allowed to be. A strong aversion of being touched by strangers isn't unusual anyway. There's alot of people who hate being touched, for many different reasons not related to a past trauma. Hypochondriacs (it's not called that anymore but I don't...

Welcome to the forum. What does it matter if it looks stupid? Panic attacks are awful. Anything you can do to shorten and or minimise the amount of time spent surrounded by onlookers in distress, is just better for you all round. I'm going to be a bit blunt here. If your panic attacks are...

You know him better than any of us do, a couple of months sounds reasonable to me. But that's me. When you were still together, how long would he generally stay pissed off about something? That might give you a better insight towards how long you should wait before attempting to reach out to him.

I don't see the harm in trying one last time, to tell him you are thinking of him and meant what you said about keeping in touch. I'd leave it alone after that though.
