And there lies the problem. Trump has been calling China a currency manipulator for the last several years, and he is correct. China's manipulation of the yuan has created the dumping of lost cost steel into America for years. Trump is smart enough to know America must take back control of their steel and aluminum markets, for a strategic advantage, something Obama conveniently let slip away.
China (if you ever believe any financial matrix they provide) has been sliding the entire decade, their PMI slipped to a 23 month low of 51.2 (under 50 is a contracting economy) output and demand have weakened and will only increase the rate with the tariffs. China has the huge surplus with America, so America can take them to the ledge on tariffs because we have nothing to lose.
We as mere humans made in the image of God. We have a Body, Soul and if Baptized the Holy Spirit. God is a figurehead that encompasses all with Jesus (God) being the Body and God the Father being the Spirit and Soul. Here are some versus that explains this phenomenon.

It wasn't until around 300 AD with the advent of the Athanasian Creed that the word 'Trinity' became commonplace.
lee, I think it goes way beyond gender anomallies, take a look at the 45 Goals of Communism introduced into the Congressional record in 1963. And to take it one step further the ideology of communism is evil based....and where does evil come from? Correct the lord of the earth Satan. Luckily we have Jesus the Lord of heaven and earth. :)
If you read all 45 goals you will better understand what is happening in America....and the rest of Western Civilization...
mollybaby, a very rare occasion, but I think my comment went over your head, through the roof and landed somewhere on planet Poseidon..... : ) yes god of the SEA
Just to expound a bit: I believe the #1 destruction of all (premarital) relationships is the lack of developing an intimate relationship. In the current world, we run from first base to home plate as if we were being chased by a wolf pack. Never taking the time for intimacy and trust and caring and respect to develop. It's kinda like building the roof before you set the foundation. So, not too surprising that many are stuck on that proverbial relationship wheel that ceases to stop and always questioning why why why can't I find that man/woman that will fulfill my dreams......
Many reasons, but the one that jumped to my mind first was: Everyone is in search of perfection, but the reality is we will only find our spouse 80%/20%. The former being acceptable and the latter being unacceptable. So, in that quest to find that perfect package of a human the mind strays and then the body, only to find out that the 20% your were lacking was found in another person, but unfortunately the new person was lacking 20% of what you already had. So, in short.....it's the cat chasing it's tail, over and over and over..
Financing a car in the US is much different than Europe ( if they even offer such financing). Positives: on a 3 yr lease your paying for less than one half the vehicle cost/ maintenance is nonexistence except for normal wear and tear expenses/you get a brand new car every 3 yrs/ the money you save by eliminating the original cash outlay for the vehicle could have been invested in the stock market, in the likes of Apple/Netflix/Microsoft and made much more than the lease payments. So, in essence your car is for FREE........
Tenang, you're probably correct, CS is not a healthy place for you. There are ppl with much more seated problems then what you may have, and they will not show any compassion or understanding to your situation. I'm sure if you look for other venues that are more aligned to your experiences you will find it much more rewarding. Good Luck to you.....
Stay tuned to the never ending saga of Jac_the_Grippers ....Episodes of a 80% human 20% Please join in weekly to uncover the psychological profiles of the Guilted and maybe not so Guilted. And thanks to this weeks special guess, the Mol, whose insight into using something other than human instincts is a formidable topic in next weeks episode.......and many courtrooms throughout the land....
Proposition being presented by the prosecution must be proven to the extent that there could be no "reasonable doubt" in the mind of a "reasonable person" that the defendant is guilty.
Now, define "reasonable person", I'm sure we can find some worthy participants in this forum..
I would say manipulation is manipulation...def. the action of manipulating something in a skillful manner.
Its the latent effects that distinguish between the manipulators behavior. In the case of the narcissist they will repeat the process over and over again and will never be able to feel the victims remorse. The non-narcissist would eventually understand what he/she did to their recipient and have that all important moment of repentance...
It sounds like a situation of 'narrcisstic rage'. The constant outburst the silent treatment are all weapons in the narcissists arsenal. Take a look at the Covert Narcissist thread, their are lots of good characteristics of the narcissist, see if you can pick up some more pieces of your puzzle.
I have to respectfully disagree with your premises. Understanding, if we're being the victim of a fraud is most important to us .......all of us........as this becomes the foundation for further involvement with such poster. Like I and many have said here.....a no contact rule is important when dealing with a dysfunctional personality ie: a narcissist.
Looking at your occupation 'care giver' led to a response. He may be a narcissist and was having what they call a 'narcissistic rage' attack. The narcissist is deceptive by nature and pathologically inclined to lie about everything. Your sending the mass card may have foiled his attempt to continue controlling and manipulating you. See Covert Narcissism topic either at bottom of page or now on page two top.
Being with him for 5 yrs is quite an accomplishment. Only he can tell you what triggered his behavior. Get him to communicate what he was going through so you both can either continue with your relationship or make the decision to move on.
Catholicism is about the supernatural. Whether it be the Trinity, Resurrection, Blessed Mother Apparitionsor, picture of Jesus Christ in the monstrance (reported many many times in many countries) or the preserved body of St Bernadette in Lourdes,France. Your spiritual experiences were/are due to your being Baptized with the Holy Spirit, so they were all about religion, you just couldn't understand it.

If you believe that the narcissist understands what your're asserting in your comment, then you need to do a little more reading on the narcissistic mind. Understand, that they are just protecting their 'self'' and have no idea why those get upset at them.
