We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
I think people would have an easier go of it if they learned to avoid making those insane requests in the first place, though, and part of that process is acknowledging the unreasonableness in making them.
No one is going to have a happy relationship by controlling what their partner is allowed to think and do with their own body. Anyone who finds that controversial is in dire need of a serious reality check.
I said in my original comment that OP‘s mistake was in agreeing to that unreasonable request.
Run. You are in a full blown abusive relationship. Emotionally, verbally and physically. Can you imagine if a woman wrote this? It’s no different. Run. Block her.
Yuck, she's disgusting. As someone very familiar with SA, I have never used that as an excuse for anything. Apparently, being in LA, she's attempting to be a horrible actress. Please figure out if this is something you can and want to deal with your whole life, her acting like her spoiled rotten childhood was horrible. If not, you have your answer.
Why can’t someone be autistic and insufferable at the same time? There aren’t more autistic people around, just more of us being recognised. It has always been severely undiagnosed and misdiagnosed in AFABs, so it’s not “everyone is now autistic”, we just are finally wanting to be recognised.
You were extremely toxic. Why do you think you are entitled to a hug just because you want one? Yes, he reacted poorly, but how often do you abuse him? I think neither of you are in a healthy place right now.
Alt men don't like you because you're not alt. You're an MD and you need to come to reddit to figure that out? Did you go to a school you found in the back of a comic book? Find a man who's tastes more closely align with you and yours, it's not rocket science love.
Go with your gut feeling on this one. She hides things and lies to you as she's afraid you'll be jealous…well, I think that is because she's KNOWS what she's doing will cause problems. Can't lie and hide things and expect someone to trust you.
You may really like her, but if she's not willing to put in the effort and establish trust, then she's showing you that you should not put in any effort with her and find someone else that does want to.
Just reminds me of my father – any movie with an older guy and a younger girl really pissed him off. After I watched “Lost in Translation”, telling him I liked it, my man went off on a 5 minute rant how disgusting that movie was. I can't watch that movie ever again.
Don't get me started on “American Beauty”, would give the dude an aneurism.
He wasn't deflecting, nor harboring secret thoughts. All his 'porn' material was boring playboy/swimsuit issues – I know, I had to go though every inch of his stuff after he died.
So personally, mixed with the fact he was cheated on, I wouldn't really make that big deal about it. Not everything is a secret decodable moment – sometimes we honestly just state when we don't like something.
Technically, cheating is pretty sad and often times portrayed as a normal fact of life. I would just let the dude express himself. It's not like he's quoting some Alpha Male silly shit.
Stranger asking if someone is single is ok. Stranger asking if someone is single AND where they live, crosses a line. That's more a burglar or rapist question at that point.
A phobia is much more than a fear or dislike. There's a reason only medical professionals can practice medicine, same with mental illness. It's dangerous to tell people they have conditions with no experience, insight, or knowledge of the person. Even an actual professional wouldn't be able to diagnose over Reddit, and there's a reason it's horribly unethical
Before my parents met, Mom was engaged to another guy. I had no reason to believe she ever thought of him. Mom and Dad were married for almost 40 years, until my dad died. They had a wonderful marriage.
One day, years after my dad died, I found my mom sobbing. At first, I thought she was crying about my dad, which she often did. That day, she was crying because she'd just found out her original fiancé, whom she'd never contacted in all those years, had died.
It didn't mean she didn't love my dad with all her heart, or that she ever would have left him or cheated on him. She was just grieving for someone she had once cared about.
When you're in a long-term relationship, like your gf was with her ex, and that relationship ends, you grieve. It is a loss. Even if you no longer love that person, even if you are much happier with your current partner, there is still a loss to grieve about. Grief is weird because once you think you're done with it, it can pop up like that and take you by surprise.
I think her emotions were normal, probably exaggerated by the drinks, and it probably has nothing to do with you. You should talk to her about it and ask if she still has feelings for him that would interfere with your relationship with her but avoid jumping to the conclusion that she's still in love with him.
The joke was terrible he could be just immature but him apologizing just made everything worse. If you want to continue the relationship he needs to understand that he hurt your feelings and that’s it. Jokes about your body – or anyones body- is disrespectful. If he says he doesn’t think it is, you say that it is for you and that is what matters. That you can forgive him now but to make it clear you disagree with his attitude and that will never be an ok thing for him to do. The way you can say that is in a firm way. If you enforce that you were a victim of his joke (which you indeed were) he is going to keep defensive. But if you say in a firm way – not arguing not fighting but firm- he will see that you are serious about it and not “trying to make him feel bad” bc is not about him, is about you and your feelings. And please don’t get me wrong when I say the victim thing, I really don’t want you to think that I am saying you are playing the victim, whatsoever. Is the way you communicate your feelings to him for him to understand that this kind of attitude with you won’t be tolerated.
I have BPD and it’s really hot for me to firmly communicate my boundaries. But when I do it I can see people understanding way more than when I don’t.

men want peace. and you're not giving it to him especially over something so superficial as small breasts.
Probably feeling helpess at this point cause he has no solution for you
Well, we are in agreement there.

See my edit. I want to go to couples counseling. Sorry for the confusion.

Focus on whether you want to break up or not, ignoring the possibility of the new person until you've made that decision.

It definitely is
Why’s it always the loser guys with no job that make babies??? They just make terrible decisions one after another
