If this woman's husband is kinda recently spending more time with bio daughter?

I can so see that upping insecurity in her or causing her some anxiety or stress that she maybe doesn't want to fully, consciously articulate

who knows

none of my business

everyone needs to fuck off

Research

A child's chance of getting abused goes up dramatically once a stepparent is moved into the house

No one would say my ex stepmom was capable of abuse, looking at her or looking from the outside in

When I moved back home?

I wasn't even living with my dad

My ex stepmom felt threatened and started showing signs of insecurity and jealousy

My mom had her own frame, with my dad

Her own friends, outside of his friends -- that had nothing to do with my dad or his career or his status

so she was happy outside of him

That didn't make me feel better

That's a huge red flag to me, in men

It shows that they're in a habit of objectifying women and there's some internalized misogyny

With my dad, it's like if a woman is beautiful?

She can do anything, behave in an ugly manner

You can't call her out or stand up for yourself -- whoever calls her out or tries to label the ugly behavior as such?

They're just insecure

or then my dad going there and falsely insulting her appearance, as if that would make me feel better

My dad is my dad

I can't control that

...

this kind of social situation or where a person's mind goes when looking at women is something I'd vet a guy for

the assumed insecurity makes me feel bad

why are you going there? and now I'm on the defensive -- when there is a deeper issue at play here

I never watched that movie, but there was recently one with Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney

The Housemaid

Does she track her husband? Like a gps app?

I wonder how paranoid and insecure she is

I'm kinda getting inspired

this is making me want to read a cheating romance or thriller

one that really digs into this kind of insecurity
