#I think both Kate and Anne would be totally within their rights to not want Eiffel in their lives
Text
Another thing about what Minkowski says to Eiffel when she's trying to send him back to Earth in the finale is that she explicitly recognises his potential to be a positive father figure to his daughter. And that's no small thing, especially when we remember her reaction to the news of his jail sentence in Ep35 Need to Know, and how she responded "I don't know what to say" when Eiffel told her the full story, and how she still didn't properly reconcile with him for another 41 days after their conversation in Ep40 Limbo. "Go home, Eiffel. Hug your daughter." is about wanting him to be safe and to move forward with his life and to pursue the things that are important to him, but it's also about believing that he is not defined by the bad things he's done. It's about telling him that he could be a good dad. It's about believing in the possibility that he could rebuild his relationship with Anne.
When Eiffel and Minkowski make up in Ep44 Desperate Times, he tells her that the side of his life he's kept hidden is her business. And here, in a moment that could have been the last time they ever spoke, Minkowski makes it her business by wanting Eiffel to be able to hug his daughter.
#Wolf 359#w359#I think both Kate and Anne would be totally within their rights to not want Eiffel in their lives#I think it would be absolutely fair enough if they didn't forgive him or want to reconnect with him#and I think Eiffel would have to respect that#but either way I think it's so important for Eiffel to have people in his life who really believe that he could be a good dad#I think that's part of what he was lacking before#I was gonna put this thought in the tags on my last post but then I realised it deserves a post on its own#Scheduling this so it doesn't go out immediately after the last one tho#Doug Eiffel#Renée Minkowski#renee minkowski#Eiffel & Minkowski#The empty man posteth

If You’re Unsure Of Your Relationship, Ask Yourself These 21 Questions To Get Sudden Clarity
It’s only natural to occasionally feel unsure about your relationship. It’ll most certainly happen in the early days of dating when you’re still deciding if you’re right for one another. But it can also happen months or years down the line where one day you wake up and ask yourself, “Am I truly happy?”
While it can come as a shock, it certainly isn’t a question you’ll want to ignore. In fact, “you should use the doubts and/or negative feelings you are having as a signpost indicating the need to take a pause and reflect,” Kate Engler, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist, tells Bustle. Jonathan Bennett, relationship and dating expert at Double Trust Dating, echoes this. "If you are feeling uncertainty about a relationship, it’s important that you address the reasons for those feelings," he tells Bustle. "Usually, it’s your gut telling you that there are unresolved problems."
Once you take a closer look and ask yourself a couple of questions, you may uncover why you aren’t feeling totally sure about your relationship. Perhaps you and your partner need to learn how to communicate, find better ways to compromise, or offer each other more support. If you have an honest heart-to-heart and notice serious change, the doubt can fall away with time.
That said, you might realize that you feel unsure about your relationship because there are deep, unfixable problems, a lack of compatibility, or other toxic traits that you don’t want to live with anymore. And that’s OK. To determine the future of your relationship, take a step back and ask yourself a few of the questions below, which experts say may help you gain more clarity about the future of your relationship.
“How often do I feel this way?”
If you currently feel unsure about your relationship, start by asking yourself how often doubt creeps into your head, Engler says.
Is it a fleeting thought on a random Tuesday afternoon? Are you having a moment of doubt following a big argument? Or do you lie awake night after night wondering if your partner is the right person for you?
Since absolutely no relationship is perfect, you can expect to have a doubt or two on occasion — especially during tough times. But if you’re constantly weighing pros and cons it likely means you aren’t fully comfortable, and that you may be happier moving on.
“Have I noticed a pattern?”
To go one step deeper, ask yourself if there’s a pattern attached to these feelings of doubt. If you’re going through a tough time at work, for example, you may notice that you have a shorter temper around your partner.
In that case, it may mean that outside stressors are having an impact on your relationship, but that the relationship itself isn’t the problem. To test it out, find ways to practice empathy around each other and see if it helps you feel more connected.
“Are we working on relationship problems together?”
If you want a healthy relationship, it’ll require both you and your partner to put in the same amount of effort. So take note if it seems like you’re the only one who cares to make an effort, address problems, and find solutions.
“If you have brought up issues to your partner and they have ignored, dismissed, gaslighted, or shut it down over and over again, this is an indicator that they are not interested in owning their part or working to fix things,” Engler says. “Many, many issues can be resolved when everyone participates. When this isn't what's happening, the long-term prognosis for the relationship isn't very promising.”
“Is this relationship exactly like all my past relationships?”
If you notice that you’ve been repeating old relationship patterns with your new partner, “it is most likely an enactment of something else in your earlier life,” Engler says. “In that case, it would be best to explore things that might be going on within you before making a firm decision about the relationship.”
This is especially true if your partner and your relationship seems really “good on paper” — meaning your partner is loving, supportive, committed, etc. — and yet you still can’t shake the feeling that sometimes is wrong.
It may help to get an outside perspective, whether it’s from a friend, your mom, or a therapist. Talk about your doubts while including an honest take on your partner. “You may still end it,” Engler says, but you also might realize you just needed to work on healing old hurts in order to be fully happy.
"Do I feel safe and cared for?”
"This question is meant to identify any dealbreakers or unacceptable behavior," Lesli Doares, a couples consultant and coach, tells Bustle. Be honest with yourself about things that go wrong, poor treatment, tension, or anything else that puts you on edge — even if it doesn’t happen every day. "Any behavior that gives you qualms needs to be acknowledged and addressed," she says. "It won’t magically get better."
Point out issues to your partner and talk about what needs to change in order for you to feel secure. If they’re willing to change, the relationship may be salvageable.
“Are we both willing to compromise?”
Being in a relationship means you need to find ways to compromise as a couple on things both big and small. If your partner is willing to meet you halfway, cool. But if you’ve talked about an ongoing issue, and your partner dismisses it or shows no signs of changes, Doares says this may not be the best relationship for you.
The right relationship won’t include ultimatums or guilt. Neither of you will feel like you have to change who you are or go against your morals in order to make it work. If you don’t want to meet in the middle, or there’s an entire laundry list of compromises that need to be made, it simply means you aren’t a good match.
“Does my partner have my back no matter what?”
“You want to be able to identify if the person can support you in the way you need to be supported,” Meredith Prescott, LCSW, a psychotherapist, tells Bustle. So take a second to think if that’s the case in your relationship. If your partner has your back when times are tough, if they support your goals, and if they’re attuned to your emotional well-being, you likely have a good thing going.
"Is my relationship negatively impacting my self-esteem?”
Ask yourself a few questions about your overall self-esteem as it relates to your partner and your relationship. "Answering this question will help you recognize the impact of your relationship on your self-worth and self-esteem," relationship coach Melissa M. Snow tells Bustle.
Do you feel good about yourself in their presence? If you answered yes, Snow says you may decide this is something you want to continue.
“Is my relationship holding me back?”
In a healthy relationship, both partners will feel like they are still individuals who are capable of growing and changing, not only because there's room to do so, but because they both offer each other support.
"The right person will support your growth and your goals and want to do everything they can to help you succeed," Snow says. "If they don't, they likely don't have your best interests in mind."
"Can I accept our differences?”
That said, not everything ends in compromise. “Considering what is changeable, what is not changeable, what we can tolerate, and what we cannot tolerate, are all important questions to ask when considering whether someone is a good match,” Shannon Gunnip, LMHC, a licensed mental health counselor, tells Bustle.
When it comes to things they can’t change — like personality traits or quirks — ask yourself, “Can I love them as they are?” It’ll be necessary to accept each other without holding a grudge or secretly hoping a miraculous change will occur.
You want to be able to laugh about each other’s quirks and love each other in spite of your “flaws.” If that isn’t possible more doubt — and eventual resentment — will build.
“Do all our biggest goals align?”
If you're on the fence, it might be because a few major questions have yet to be answered, such as whether or not you want kids, if you plan to get married, if you want to move far away, and so on. "Too often people ignore these questions and think love will figure them out," life coach Dr. Benjamin Ritter tells Bustle. But the reality is you need to talk about these things early and often. If you don’t agree on the big stuff related to family and general life direction, you’ll have your answer.
“Am I excited to see my partner?”
While you can’t expect to be elated to see each other 24/7, there should be a general sense of happiness whenever you meet up.
"Does the thought of your partner bring a smile to your face? If the answer is yes, fantastic,” relationship coach Ann Ball, tells Bustle. “If the answer is no, there's still a shot you can make it work, but you'll want to find a counselor to help guide you through."
“What does a happy relationship look like to me?”
Ask yourself what your ideal relationship looks like — including which values you'd like your partner to have, how you want to feel on a daily basis, what you want the future to look like, and so on — and see how close you got.
"Asking yourself this question will force you to think about the traits you want in a relationship and see how yours measures up," says Bennett. If they’re far from hitting the mark, and show no signs of improving, you may have your answer.
"Where do I see myself in a year?”
Imagine where you'd like to be a year from now. How do you want your life to look? "Asking this question allows you to focus on your own needs and goals," Bennett says. "If you ask this question and don’t see your partner playing a major role in your life a year down the line, then the relationship probably isn’t worth keeping."
"Am I willing to change?”
Of course, you'll also want to take your own flexibility into account. "If you aren’t willing to make room for your partner and their needs, the relationship will not be a good one," Doares says. And in that case, it may be best to move on.
“Why have I stayed this long?”
Whether you've been in the relationship for a month, a year, or 10 years, go ahead and ask yourself why you've stuck it out this long, Snow says. Is it because you are scared to be alone? Afraid to get out of your comfort zone? Or because you’re actually quite happy? If the relationship feels fulfilling and worth it, that's great. But if you're only staying out of habit, you may want to start looking for better reasons.
“Do we have a similar approach to life?”
You don't have to be with someone whose habits perfectly match up with your own, but you do want to see eye-to-eye when it comes to the big stuff, such as how you handle money, make decisions, and socialize.
As Dr. Ritter says, "These areas of your life can [...] cause large amounts of conflict if there are not similarities or ways to communicate and manage differences."
"Am I happy?”
While you can't expect your relationship to be sunny and rosy 100 percent of the time, the overall vibe should be one that makes you feel good.
"Seems obvious, but most people get caught up in the day-to-day of life and forget to think about themselves," RMT Certified Coach Ann Ball, tells Bustle. "Are you finding joy in your life? Does your partner contribute to your joy? Can you rekindle the flame?"
"Do we have a similar approach to life?”
You don't have to be with someone whose habits perfectly match up with your own, but you do want to see eye-to-eye when it comes to the big stuff, such as how you handle money, make decisions, and socialize.
As Dr. Ritter says, "These areas of your life can [...] cause large amounts of conflict if there are not similarities or ways to communicate and manage differences."
"Do I like how we communicate?”
"If your needs are not met now and there are not any conversations happening about them, then it will be difficult to suddenly make those changes in the future," licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Molly Giorgio tells Bustle.
So take note if your partner doesn't listen, can't communicate, or refuses to share their feelings. If that's the case, it may be best to go your separate ways.
“Do I like who I am around my partner?”
Most important of all is whether or not you like yourself in your relationship. If it’s right for you, you’ll feel secure, grounded, and ready to take on the world as a couple. You’ll be happy and light and excited. Your partner won’t hold you back but instead will boost you up and vice versa. If it isn’t right, you’ll notice that you’re always angry, defensive, that you tune out, and that you don’t feel heard or understood. However difficult it might be, that’ll be your sign it’s time to move on.

Molloy Insider Student Spotlight: Elizabeth Ann Meittinis
Liz is a junior at Molloy studying Childhood Special Education with a concentration in History. She is heavily involved on campus and has utilized all of her time at Molloy. As a campus leader, Liz holds a variety of different roles including…
…a Junior Class President on Molloy Student Government, Dominican Young Adults Co-President, Student and Social Media Ambassador, and Orientation Leader.
She enjoys membership of a variety of clubs including…
…the Molloy Performing Arts Club and the Education Club.
She even finds time to work in the Campus Ministries Office through Molloy’s work study program and participate in an impressive amount of service opportunities. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Liz and hear about her time at Molloy.
You also have the chance to speak to Liz by participating in the Molloy Insider Program or by coming to the Spring Open House this Sunday at 1 p.m. Check out the links below for more details.
http://www.molloyinsider.com/
https://www.molloy.edu/admissions/spring-open-house
On Choosing Molloy
“When I was deciding on where to go to college, I was between Molloy and The College of Saint Rose. They both had great programs and were known for their Campus Ministries. Then, I visited Molloy and heard a student named Mary Kate speak about Molloy’s service trips. She talked about her trips to Camden, New Jersey, which I had visited during high school. This was when I started to feel a connection. Then, after experiencing the campus and the community at Accepted Students Day, I knew that Molloy was where I was supposed to be. I had the chance to talk to Sister Diane, the head of Campus Ministries, and she made me feel like I was at home. I thought I wanted to go away for college, but now I commute and have loved my time here.”
On Campus Ministries
“Campus Ministries is my second home. Wait, it’s my home within my second home because it is at Molloy. That makes sense, right? I work in the Campus Ministries Office and help them any way that I can. The entire office is so welcoming…”
*Note that with no appointment, Campus Ministries allowed me to interview Liz in one of their offices, so I can confirm. Definitely welcoming.*
“…and allowed me to get involved with all of the service opportunities and trips here at Molloy.”
On Mission Trips and Service
“During my time at Molloy, I have been lucky enough to go on service trips to Camden, Appalachia, and El Salvador.”
“I went to Camden twice with Molloy. In Camden, NJ there is a service center that acts as a home base for volunteers. While you are there, you get sent out to different areas or centers in need. You can be sent out to homeless shelters, daycares, or food pantries, to help out people in need.”
“I have been going to Appalachia, WV with Molloy since my freshmen year and each year has been incredible. We host a Water Camp for the local boys in this impoverished area. They get to make crafts, learn, have fun, and play in a bunch of pools. It is shocking to see this level of poverty in the United States because it seems like a third world country. They know that parts of West Virginia and New York have very wealthy areas, so they almost feel a sense of embarrassment for something that is totally out of their control. We make it our jobs to make them feel happy and enjoy themselves like kids are supposed to.”
“I went to El Salvador with Molloy once so far and it was an entirely new experience. The strong sense of faith, love, and appreciation these people have for what most Americans would consider nothing is incredible. I wish everyone could experience this faith and love because it totally changes your perspective. Their culture and community is so strong and built around their faith. It is inspiring.”
“All of these experiences are so hard to describe because of the strong emotions, the Love and the Faith that these people have, it’s like nothing else. They make me feel selfish because I receive so much from these trips. I feel like I get so much more than I give to these people, and yet they are so thankful. It’s my passion.”
Molloy Moments
“My favorite Molloy Moment was organizing and hosting Saint Baldricks Day. Saint Baldricks Day is an event on campus which focuses on raising money for childhood cancer research and awareness for children with cancer. We were able to donate $6,000 and a lot of hair. The hair goes to Pantene which makes wings for children with cancer. The campus support for the event meant a lot to me, and it felt great to make a difference.”
On Advice For Freshmen
“Do what makes you happy, and don’t focus on doing what you think will make other people happy. If you are happy, you’ll spread that feeling to the people around you. So do what makes you happy!”
If you want the chance to learn more about Liz’s journey at Molloy, sign up for the Molloy Insider Program or come to our Open House this Sunday at 1 p.m.
