--- Quote from: DaiJB on 30 Sep 2021, 20:57 ---Augh, now they'll have to add a disclaimer to their website:
"We do not claim to be psychotherapists, nor do we advertise any such service. We supply physical parts, repair and maintenance ONLY."
-And if they want to be really crystal-clear:
"Any attempt to portray our business as supplying any such service will be regarded as grounds for legal action."

We may add that disclaimer to these forums too, just in case.

Couldn't hurt.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 30 Sep 2021, 23:21 ---I wonder if Pinkerton is currently telling all his on-line 'friends' about Faye's 'wonderful reverse psychology'?
Poor Bubbles! She just can't fully believe that Faye is seriously into her, can she? There will always be a part of her that just doesn't believe that she is loveable. That's sad, but it says good things about Faye that she's sticking with what must be a very difficult relationship sometimes.

I was reading it as her trying to be reassuring to Faye. Emotional instability is a major factor in many cases of people 'falling off the wagon'.

Re: "Faye climbed up there real quick"
To be honest, if I were in a physically intimate relationship with Bubbles, I would climb her every chance I got, and likely get very quick at it.
So... go Faye.

--- Quote from: Tova on 01 Oct 2021, 01:54 ---I am surprised by the reaction to Bubbles here. I don't see what she said as reflecting insecurity.
Sometimes relationships end in spite of the very best of intentions in the world. Sad but true.
To simply assume that a relationship will last forever, while romantic, is not just naive; it's kinda taking someone's love for granted.
Bubbles will never do that.

I agree with this take. My husband and I love each other and get along well (most of the time anyway), but we do sometimes talk about 'what if our relationship falls apart?' Because it might, and we both hope that:
a. it won't be a horrendous breakup
b. we will still be friends (or at least cordial to each other)
I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon - I'd be losing one of my best friends.
Jimor:
As a streamer, that kind of forcing others to be your therapist is something I see way too often. Fortunately, not often in my own stream, but setting that boundary is something a lot of my friends and I have had to be very careful about. A quick vent about a bad day is fine, but too many people take advantage of the live nature of the medium to dump far too much personal information into chat and expect everybody to stop the flow and deal with it.
And in at least one case I know of, a streamer did the opposite of Faye and tried turning his stream into a giant open unqualified therapy session, causing all kinds of unknown damage and backlash. Fortunately that didn't last long, but he quit doing it blaming "cancel culture" rather than understanding what a bad idea it was.
