I wrote an article not long ago about settling on a name for the personality disorder that we spend our time here talking about. I suggested using “sociopath” as a general term for exploitative people. Many of us have taken to shortening this term to “spath.”
Well, a Lovefraud reader “Justdreamin” informs us that “spath” is taken. She saw it on a flower pot, and sent us the photos.
It turns out that “spath” is a shortened version of “spathiphyllum,” which is the botanical name for the peace lilly, a common houseplant.
We might have to come up with a new name. If I were a beautiful peace lily, I wouldn’t want to share a name with the nasty predators.

Dear HGG,
It ends when they either go away or when you or they die….or maybe when you hide out deep enough that they can’t find you.
Yea, sounds like the peace lily was a “sign” all right! LOL

Oh. And I moved to Illinois under the impression that spath and I were going to move bak to Florida…where all of my support is. Major lesson learned. If they want you bad enough, they will come to where you are. He never had any intention of moving from his hometown..he had too many people tricked. 2 more years and I will never have to speak to him again. He puts on the “I’m such a great guy” act. Does anybody else see thru his crapppp or am I the only one.

bluejay and oxy – thanks. 🙂
I have been such a polite citizen most of my life, subversive, but usually quite polite to power. But no longer gonna put up with bullies, it seems.
nothing wrong with my refusal, just my rage. i don’t want to fight everything. It’s the PTSD, it’s being fed up, it’s being tooo tired.
I am going to go dry my hair, put my ear plugs in and hit the sack @ 9 pm…goodness.
thanks again, you both made me laugh and lighten up a bit.
night night.

Goodnite One/Joy, you aren’t crazy, just keep saying that and use your ear plugs. (((hugs))))

Sleep well! Hopefully, a solution will come to you (in the days ahead) concerning your troublesome, annoying neighbor. I’m off to bed too.

Donna That is funny thanks for sharing. I bought a snake plant today at the home depot, some folks call them ‘mother in-law-tounge plants’ there are all kind’s ‘pretty plant’s that come in ‘ugly pot’s’, some of the pot’s are cracked, some have hole’s in them, just throw away the pot with the wierd label and repot them in your own pretty pot, as for the xspath he looked pretty but his pot was cracked, oh I take that back, he didnt have a pot to piss in, he was just pretty, but pretty is as pretty does….
Onestep – Sorry you was cranky today, I cussed out one of those automated recording robot’s today, she just kept on giving me option’s but none that had anything to do with what I needed, so I screamed “give me a f–ing real operator” …..!
Ana
Hens,
I’ve done that, swore at the automated operater!
Just went outside to look at the moon, it’s nice.
I can’t wait for the super moon. In yoga the moon
is called “chandra” and it is beautiful.
