Or they need a girlfriend that doesn’t mind listening and trying to help them work through their shit and defeat their fucking demons without asking them to pour out their soul to a stranger who is only listening because it’s their job. That’s the kind of shit you do for the people you love.
your partner is not your therapist. listening to your partner is one thing, but it is not their responsibility to help you work through your shit. that is on you.
one more time.
your partner is not your therapist.
also if I may hop onto this, I REALLY hate when people try to spin “therapists only listen because it’s their job” as a BAD thing. can you imagine if we tried to apply that to literally any other profession?
“why take your phone into the store to get it fixed? they don’t care about you, they’re only doing their job.”
“I don’t want to order a pizza. they’re not making it for me out of the goodness of their hearts, they’re only doing it because it’s their job.”
“why didn’t you just have your girlfriend do that surgery instead of going to a stranger who only saved your life because it’s their job?”
it’s their job because they are better equipped to do it than the other people in your life. jesus christ.
He has painted a baseball every day for 38 years to create the world’s – largest ball of paint.
“My intention was to paint maybe a thousand coats on it and then maybe cut it in half and see what it looked like,” Mike says in his soft spoken way, noting that each coat on his ball is a different color from the one before.
“But then it got to the size where it looked kinda neat, and all my family said keep on painting it. And I’ve continued on for all these years.”
How it all began: The first coat of paint is applied to Michael Carmichael’s baseball by his son Mike Jr in 1977
Getting bigger: The 13,300th coat of paint is applied to ball. Visitors have flocked from around the world to add new coats of paint
