Nonnas, do you have embarassing internet culture/weeb things on your phone? I've been a covert weeb for a very long time, no one outside of an internet friend could tell you I consume any weeb shit or have been a gaming addict in the past. I'm not nearly as deep into it as I was years back, but I still sometimes save some hard-to-explain stuff to my phone or devices, for purposes of shitposting and such, and I don't religiously purge all the "evidence".
But I am dating a very "normie" man in all the senses of the word, and I feel the urge to jump whenever he takes my phone in his hand to look at a picture I'm showing or uses my laptop for practical purposes. I almost feel like I need a second device or locked folders to enjoy my guilty pleasures, but obviously that'd just make him think I'm two-timing or something.
Anyone else with a "less-socially accepted" "female hobby"? Putting it all in quotations since it's all quite judgemental and stereotypical, but I mean not just being a covert weeb. Are you just open about things like these from the start on dates?

I used to be the same but one day something clicked (probably my frontal lobe maturing) and I completely stopped caring. It actually helped, in a way, because a lot of guys like "quirky" traits if they're already physically attracted to you. There's no need to be so insecure about it, own it. It's more socially accepted now than ever.

Fuck no my bf of 5 years doesn't know I'm a turbo fujo and never will. He knows I like anime because he's a super casual anime watcher, but doesn't know I have thousands of images of 2D boys saved in my pc. That's weird and creepy.
If he didn't watch anime at all I would keep it as hidden as possible. I only opened up about it after learning he also watched it.

For the first time in a year I looked up my ex bf’s social media, and it appears he deleted his Instagram and Twitter. I wonder why.. all our mutual friends picked him over me so I haven’t talked to them either since 2017. I wonder if anything happened to him. His parents facebooks are private and I don’t care enough to privately message them, that’d be weird. I typed his name + “obituary” and didn’t see anything, so I don’t think he’s dead either.
It’s been a while but I think I’m going to tweak if I found out he got a got a girl pregnant, but why would he delete social media over that? What do you guys think happened and should I drop it now or continue searching for my ex mans

I talked to my therapist about how i feel undateable for being a fujo and would rather stay alone forever than give that up and she said she had patients who were also fujos and had accepting bfs and that I shouldnt give up. If that's true, they got super lucky. Moids do not like it when we sexualize or objectify men.

Just found out the Nigel I’m seeing has ADHD. Looking at other nonas experiences with ADHD men I’m honestly kind of terrified now. Is there any hope for a relationship with an ADHD moid? I’ve been browsing reddit and here about womens experiences with it and they seem to be incredibly negative.

I wouldn’t bother. Pic rel is pretty much all men with ADHD do all day. Medically speaking, their prefrontal cortex is underactive or ‘hypoactive’.
Meaning that either they are either completely numb, dissociated and can’t empathize with others, or they’re having emotional breakdowns from being overstimulated and chimping out.

A hypoactive prefrontal cortex also switches the brain to ‘primitive mode’ so all he will care about is eating, cooming and generally behaving like a stupid violent ape.

ADHD men also have dopamine receptor damage (partly organically, partly because they’re so prone to drug abuse, porn addiction, doomscrolling and other vices, and no he will not quit them ever because they’re quite literally the only thing that makes him feel better and that he has to live for) and they also have naturally lower levels of oxytocin: in other words they’re basically incapable of bonding with their partner because of the chronic lack of these ‘love hormones’ that causes humans to bond. They are broken beyond repair.

Even when they take their meds (which is basically just meth) all it will cause them to do is to hyperfocus on absolutely retarded useless shit like online impulse shopping, gambling (nothing these retards love more than wasting their own and other peoples money) or porn again, for hours and hours.

They left out binge eating. My ex was a fat fuck who constantly stuffed his face and ballooned from 180 to 250 in a year. He thought he could ‘stay in shape’ by popping his meth pills, but even meth won’t keep you skinny when you’re binging 5000 calories a day and don’t ever expect them to offer you any kek.

I seem to attract ADHD men and it's never a great experience. Even when they are kind and loving, they will never hold down a job and basic adult stuff and when in an unemployed phase aren't as productive as you'd like and become super clingy. It maybe can work if you're the mommying type (gross).

Sorry for them because they have a disability but if you shack up with one he will not only ruin his own life but yours too. Literally all the know how to do is consoom, and that’s an even bigger problem when most of them are unemployed and can’t work any kind of conventional job.

my bf is (not so) subtly trying to make me look and dress in a certain style that i personally hate and it’s beginning to really bug me.
he doesn’t directly pressure me or tell me what I can and can’t wear exactly, but he constantly drops hints and sends me links to stuff or pictures of other girls wearing things saying id look hot in this etc. he even is trying to make me do certain makeup and hairstyles and try colors i dislike because it makes him horny.

i understand everyone would like their partner to look a certain way and everyone has clothes and aesthetics that make them horny. but it’s seriously starting to remind me of my npd ex who would try and control everything about me from the way i did my eyebrows and what color lipstick i wore to the exact shades/colors and kind of underwear i was ‘allowed’ to wear.
at this point i feel dehumanized like a blowup doll and i feel like he’s eroding a big part of who i am by trying to dress me up me like this and make me into something i despise. its not like i don’t try already, i have my own thing going on, it suits me and it’s very me. but i keep attracting these highly controlling shallow men (partly my own fault because I’m too agreeable and nicey nicey) also when i don’t wear or do the stuff he wants he negs me and implies he’s going to find another girl who dresses the way he likes or jack off to women who do. im so tired of it and he knows he can get away with it because i love him so much.

Tell him to fuck off and shove his ‘tastes’ up his ass. Men should be kissing womens feet for the chance we even talk to them, not trying to control us or thinking they own us. Btw if he’s going to be this controlling chances are he’s going to be even more abusive down the line and has narcissistic tendencies like your ex. Reminder you do not have to tolerate this bullshit and you’re making a choice to stay with this deranged control freak moid. Run before it’s too late. You wont regret it.

Should I tell my new partner that I used to be a TIF? I know I don't need to tell everything about my past, but I identified as a TIF for all of my teen years so it's a big part of my history. I have told him I used to be a tomboy, but I didn't tell him that I used to go by a different name and pretended to be a boy. I still sometimes get mail with my old name, I have stuff with my old name and some old pictures of me (mostly at my parents tho) so I'm stressed that he will find those and ask me about it. I'm scared that at some point he might just see something "suspicious" and I will have to explain everything, but I dunno if I should just straight up tell him.

anonettes here who are serial people pleasers? i just realized that there are things i always sucked up in my (three year long) relationship with my nigel that suddenly bother me so much, it's making me lose my sanity. it's not just me giving him everything he wants all the time, but i do tend to swallow my own emotions, feelings, etc. so that he feels happy and content in the relationship. it seriously is making me question rn if i even love him anymore, even though i know he does love. i talked to him about all that, throwing everything that bothers me about him at him at once and how i don't feel like my needs are being met and he rightfully felt really baffled and was mad that i hadn't told him sooner. he feels like he's been the worst bf to me for the past three yrs. im trying to stop myself from doing everything to please everyone around me and i started doing that to him too, and he's been very surprised about my sudden change in demeanor, telling me i'm way ,,colder'' than usual. what the fuck do i doooo, is anyone here a people pleaser as much as i am and knows how to handle relationships? i don't want to let go of him just bc i feel like there's so much that bothers me about him suddenly if there's a way we could work it out together, healthily.

Can a relationship recover fully after a huge blowout argument? Everything was going amazing the last couple months. Honestly we were so in love and so loving towards each other. Then I found out he’d gone behind my back and betrayed my trust (wasn’t cheating or anything but still extremely hurtful) tbh I just lost it. I think the disappointment of finding out he wasn’t really 100% as nice as he pretended to be with me in the beginning it what set me off. I felt duped. I was really really mean to him. Said some pretty nasty shit, short of telling him to kill himself (I wouldn’t say that tbh). He forgave me and apologized for his wrongdoing. I honestly felt awful.
It’s been about a week since. Since then, everything has felt super weird. He acts like he’s walking on eggshells around me now, I’ve noticed and it’s annoying. He’s been spending less time talking to me and he seems almost scared of me at times. Likewise, I’ve also felt kind of distant from him and like the love isn’t really the same anymore.
In hindsight what he did wasn’t that bad, I think I definitely overreacted. But now I’m worried that things will never go back to how they were. The peace and harmony has kind of disappeared, and I noticed we were getting imo or almost getting into smaller petty fights since last week too although I’m trying super hard to hold my tongue and control myself even when he annoys me.

Is it over now? I feel like everything is ruined tbh. I miss that feeling we had in the first few months, and I don’t think we can ever go back to it. I’ve watched my parents and friends marriages and relationships dissolve with resentment over fights and it’s so sad and scary to watch. It seems like when someone says something mean during an argument the whole relationship becomes a tit for tat deal that goes on forever, and the thought of that makes me feel sick.

You two need to continue the conversation. Things are the way they are because there’s been no resolution. Discuss and work the problem together, if you are a couple act like a couple and cooperate to work the problem until it’s not a problem.
Why were you so upset? What hurtful things did you say? Why did you say them? Do you think things are ok now? Can you still trust him? What can you do to communicate better in the future? How can you facilitate mending the rift? What’s changed and how can you both come back stronger from it?
And for him the same questions, why did he lie? Why didn’t he think it was a big deal? What would make him more inclined to tell him? Did he not think you’d want to know? Etc. Don’t berate, just have a conversation with the goal of understanding and moving on together.
Fights happen, we don’t always have good days and we don’t always respond the best we can or do the best we can. Learn from this, whether you do that together or separately is up to the both of you. Whether it happens again is up to the both of you. Only the both of you can decide what this means for the relationship and yourselves.

I don't know whether I can tolerate the communication style of my boyfriend. We haven't been together for too long and honestly I've never had a rose-tinted glass phase going into this relationship, and yet now I wonder if he was this annoying from the start.
It's a pretty petty problem, but anytime I accidentally use a wrong word, misread something slightly (but still give a completely comprehensible reply), he never just lets it pass. He brings my attention to it and sometimes even fucking starts analyzing my mistake. Like today at the end of a tiring day he asked me to pick an option out of X, Y or Z, and I said the third one, and then gave a pretty lengthy explanation why. Then he starts going, AKSHUALLY, it's only 2 options, I just misread the "or" as being two options, while truly they are just two variations of Y, yadda yadda, and I'm sitting there like "My answer was pretty clear, why the fuck does this matter". When he's unsure of something, like a name of a place we saw, I'll tell him and then he'll instantly whip out his phone, look it up and shove the phone under my nose saying "You were right, look!" with a Wikipedia article or something, and I'm like, yes, I know the name of this place I just told you about.
I'm not saying I'm always right or I get everything correctly, but I'm pretty sure you can take note of these things in a more respectable way. I don't jump up to correct him whenever he slightly misremembers things or even when he's factually incorrect if it has zero consequences, because I have, what I consider, a respectful and good nature. I have no idea if this is the retarded idea men have of communcation with other humans, he was raised by retards or he's actually trying to make me feel less confident. Because honestly I get so frustrated at the nitpicking I could cry, but then I start to feel like a child.

I am feeling extremely hurt after the guy I am seeing pulled away yesterday for seemingly no good reason after a very close and intimate date the night before in which we got somewhat physical (no sex). It seemed he was avoiding me yesterday and then finally he texted me late at night to tell me that something I did on the date bothered him and that he was pondering that today but still really liked me and wanted to be together. We talked about it and everything is fine now and he's being soft and sweet again. However, I am sad that he would a) take me back to his car to make out and stare deeply into my eyes when he was having these thoughts in the back of his mind, and then b) fade away from me like that even for a day after being so physically intimate with me. I feel as though I can't be vulnerable with him again now, but I am not sure if this is just normal moid behavior at the beginning of a relationship and something I will get over, or a major red flag and a sign that I should disengage from him. We have been dating for about a month.

No. 400272

What bothered him?
It isn't moid-specific, for what it's worth. I've done similar second-guesses and pull-aways and it's because I have trouble with avoidance. Intimacy scares some people but if he's back he's probably trying his best.
But it's up to you if he's worth tackling it with together. It can be pain in the ass.

I'm kind of upset with my new boyfriend. Last weekend I planned a date for us ( told him exactly what to bring where to be etc) and told him that it is his turn this weekend. On wednesday he called me (this is another thing that bothers me he calls me on 10 pm every day when I am already sleeping because I have to get up at 5 every morning), asking when I'm free this weekend so I said I only have something planned for saturday morning. He then sounded kind of upset so I thought ok I'll see if I can do it on fridays. Yesterday he called me again when I was already asleep and told me about his weekend plans. He told me that he has already something planned on saturday morning and has a sports event all day on sunday but how about we hang out on saturday evening or friday evening and how about we go and see a movie but there is nothing really interesting to see. I got really upset by all of this so I said that I already replanned my shit I had to do on saturday and put it on friday evening since he sounded upset about it and that I will now meet up with a friend on saturday if he doesn't have anything planned with me (I got pissed at this point). He then just calmly said ok so it'll be a spontaneous thing and that he graciously freed up friday and saturday evening for me. I'm just pissed and disappointed and don't really want to meet up anymore and I don't know what went wrong and how to fix this situation please help me.

It just sounds like you two are incompatible. You go to bed at 10PM and he knows that, but still calls you to wake you up. That's pretty disrespectful of him to do, and it seems like he doesn't respect your time. If something as small as planning a date can cause so much stress for the both of you, it doesn't seem like a viable relationship. It's a new boyfriend, so I think you should just end it now before it gets worse.

Your communicate is shit or he doesn’t give a shit. Why is he calling you at 10pm when you’re in bed? Have you told him you’re typically asleep at that time and he needs to call you earlier? Can he not call you earlier because he works or something? Does he understand the purpose of planning a date? Maybe he doesn’t realize how important it is to you? Did he seem to like that you planned the previous date? Unless you want to train him, maybe you should consider finding someone more naturally compatible?

Nonnas in long term relationships that started semi-long distance, how were the first couple of months with your Nigel? How was the communication? What's something you did to keep yourself occupied during periods when you wanted to, but couldn't see each other? Did you ever have doubts it would work out? Did you ever discuss when you were committed and how long into dating did the discussion happen? Communication on the topic of making things more serious time frames?
I'm in the very early stages and I just want to have reassurance and have more hope things will be okay for the long term. Things are good now, I just find myself having moments of anxiety, I have a habit of trying to calm this storm in my head and forgetting all the positives.

I just went on my second date with a guy, and we've really been hitting it off. We spent almost 6 hours together today, and are planning to meet again on Sunday. He said he'd like to see me tomorrow if I wasn't busy, so he definitely likes me.
But he won't fucking touch me. I honestly questioned whether I was friendzoned or not until he said he wants to take me out for dinner one of these days. The compliments he gave me today were praising my intelligence and personality, which, I mean, I appreciate a lot more than shallow ones about my looks. But still.
The few times we touched other than hug to say hello and goodbye, it was mostly because I initiated it a few awkward times. Like touching his arm, or grabbing his hand to look at something about it, or giving him a good ol' bicep squeeze as a joke. Other than that, he put his hand on my shoulder for a second, and didn't pull away when we sat close together. That's it. Our fingers even brushed together a few times while walking, perfect opportunities for him to take my hand, but he didn't.
I get the feeling he's shy about this stuff, but I'm already trying my best to get over this barrier between us. Touching people out of the blue doesn't come naturally to me, so it's difficult for me initiate anything.
What should I do nonas? Gather all my courage and take his hand or hold on to his arm while walking? Wait for him to make a move? Talk to him about it, either to ask whether I'm allowed to touch him or say he can touch me?
Or is it too early to expect to be a little more touchy-feely? I always thought by the second date there should be more physical contact.
My previous relationships moved incredibly quickly, which is why I'm so lost on what to do. I'd suggest going to a bar to get some liquid courage into us, but he doesn't drink.

Literally no man gives a shit about your personality or intelligence. If he's complimenting your personality and intelligence, he knows that you want to hear compliments about your personality and intelligence, and is saying that to make you like him. I'd rather have some guy be direct and say what he wants, and if his wants coincide with mine, good, if not, we're not meant for each other. I swear guys who are "sensitive" and "nice" whatever are the worst manipulative dishonest fucks.

It seems early on in the relationship like you said, you've only been on two dates so far, so you're both trying to gauge each other's comfort level.

Most LDRs fail because one or both people are keeping secrets from the other, extreme introversion that leads to a lack of action and spontaneity and therefore prevents meeting, general mentally instability or illness that leads to ghosting, boredom, disappearing for days, paranoia, arguing too much etc or cheating, and lack of funds/lack of employment.

I dated one for a year and I honestly think he may have taken 10 years off my lifespan. It was the most stressful, depressing, frustrating, rage inducing time of my life and the only time I genuinely contemplated suicide. My biggest regret is how nice and accommodating towards him while he was secretly cheating on me, and talking to multiple other girls while gaslighting and negging me. I’ve heard the vast majority of ADHD moids cheat and that’s definitely my experience too. If I could go back in time, I’d bash his brains in, he really deserved it.

I’m not saying all ADHD men are demons who will suck the life force out of you and leave you as a husk of a person. But from my experience and from the other women I’ve talked to, it was absolutely awful and I wish I could get my time back. I actually have an ADHD casual guy friend and we get along great, but I would never enter a sexual or romantic relationship with one ever again. Even when they have somewhat salvageable traits they are pretty much just guaranteed to ruin your life if you let them get too close to you. All they know how to do is fuckup, and a lot of them are bordering on literally retarded.

This isn’t exactly true, a lot of men really do appreciate a woman with a good personality, or are genuinely attracted to smart and intelligent women.

But you have to be at a baseline attractiveness for him to be interested in you anyway, so it’s still somewhat meaningless. When men say they love smart women they mean the cute petite Asian girl who’s a MENSA member and works in STEM, or the hot blonde big booby physics girl. Not the ugly dumpy woman with a 180IQ.

This nona is correct. ADHD people have too many dopamine transporters, coupled with a lack of dopamine. Dopamine is obviously the feelgood hormone. A lack of it makes you feel bad. This means they’re pretty much constantly stressed, depressed, grouchy, aggressive, agitated and bored in their natural state.
They will do anything to get that quick dopamine fix that temporarily makes them feel okay. The quickest and most intense dopamine fixes are generally unhealthy things like watching porn, tiktok, binge eating, online gambling etc.
But of course because they have too many dopamine transporter constantly whisking all that dopamine away and disposing it, another bad mood soon follows and he needs another ‘fix’. And the only other solution are meds which are basically just meth and do god knows what damage to the brain long term. They will also hyperfixate on things, and that can again be very unhealthy things like binge watching porn or getting into a gambling frenzy and spending all their money. In a way they are like junkies constantly looking for the next hit. And since their brains are like children and they need constantly novelty, you’ll never be able to provide that dopamine hit long term, which often leads to them cheating. They have an extremely high divorce rate for this reason I believe 66%. Overall, dating such a man is a low reward and high risk investment. ADHD men have pretty much all the worst traits of men that already exist, but on steroids.

You know that's is not true,

>. Based on a sample of 3600 Tinder profile evaluations, we found that education level matters only substantially when female Tinder users evaluate male Tinder profiles, and not vice versa. This finding is in line with previous literature from multiple fields that found that women have a higher preference for a highly educated partner who in turn has a higher earnings potential. Additionally, in contrast to earlier studies from the field of economics we found no evidence that men are intimidated by highly educated – and therefore potentially high-earning – women. This may have important, positive consequences for women on the labour market, who have been shown in the past to shy away from behaviour that may improve their careers in order to avoid signalling undesirable traits on the dating market, such as ambition.

Incels are socially and emotionally stunted men who happen to be a loud minority, the reason they pick on women is to deshumanize them because they have little to no experience with women to begin with and they'd rather think it's women's fault. Therefore they create personnal idols through media consumption as a way to cope, and when women can't meet those standards they lash out. Their entitlement is born of the idea they've built in their heads, that women owe them sex because they don't view women as humans anymore. Only their ideal female archetype is the actual worthy woman. This is self sabotage and copium from social dejects and is not a good example.

LOL. Not true at all nona, sorry but you’re dead wrong. Men are the biggest social climbers, status seekers and users by far.
Hypergamy is an extremely male trait that men try to blame on women, it’s pure projection on their part.
All men are genetically programmed to compete with other men for ‘trophies’ and women who are way above them, men will ALWAYS pick the option of pursuing and simping for a woman who is wayyyyy out of their league, than dating a plain jane or average woman within their league. They always want the fanciest biggest cake in the shop, even if their greedy little mitts can’t afford it, and will sulk and refuse to settle for less if they can’t get it.
Men literally can’t love women that they see as one their level or below it: they actually despise such women because it makes him feel low status too.
It’s why we have so many ‘in’cels now: they’re all just 2-6/10 guys who want 11/10 women and would rather have a parasocial relationship with a hot onlyfans whore than actually touch a woman that is their looksmatch. It’s not just looks either: men love using women for money, status, to ‘dab’ on other guys etc.
When a woman get hyped up by a board like /pol/ or a site like reddit or something, that increases her status exponentially because men love women that are desired by other men, and these scrotes would literally kill each other for a chance to lick her pussy. Look how many men would line up to wife Belle Delphine despite her being a messy BPD whore.
It’s also why pickmes never prosper, because turns out acting like a doormat who is beneath a man gives him the biggest ick. Men are only nice to women they view as out of their league. As soon as you show a man you’re on his equal or below, he instantly loses all respect for you and treats you like dirt. Maybe because men subconsciously know they are trash themselves? Possibly. Just look at the way men treat their ‘submissive’ loyal wives of 20 years vs how they treat a random 18 year old OF girl with huge tits.

There do exist extremely insecure men who purposely target women who are very low status as a form of control (impoverished mail order brides, morbidly obese women etc), but those men will never ever love or respect those women and will secretly resent them and hate their guts the entire time.

The naivety is just a plus, but most young women nowadays are well aware of their value and know they don’t owe old fucks anything.

In the study, the men didn’t go after this awesome woman, according to lead researcher Lora Park, a professor in psychology at University at Buffalo. “When the woman was psychologically near — a real-life face-to-face interaction — men moved their chair further away from the woman, as an indicator of less interest in her, and reported less romantic attraction toward the woman when she outperformed versus underperformed him on a test,” she tells me.

I've about mcfucking had it, I'm just gonna lay it out since I've never been in this position until tonight - characters are moid A and moid B. Rant, really, but what is happening?

Moids A, B, and myself have all been mutual friends for a long time (yeah it's another one of those). Since covid we've made it a point to get together as often as we can with a pretty mixed group of friends/family whenever people are available. It's been great and a lot of us have moved on from mental bullshit purely from having a reason to go outside and eat together. Moid A has been around, but recently pushed to "get to know me better" - which ended up meaning trying for a relationship - but is absolutely the stereotypical "nice guy" that I didn't want to get any further with. Not into him, not a fan of his personality, A's very much an incel and comically insecure. I feel a little bad since he's the runt of us despite coming across as personable, and hasn't really found footing in life recently. We have tried to help but now the parties and outings are starting to look like we're enabling him.

Moid B is pretty much A's polar opposite. He's been around about as long, but more sporadic since he has his bros outside of us, and I've hung out with him alone a lot more than moid A knew about over 2ish years. Recently, B helped me get a new job at the company he's at, which neither of us knew was going to be on his shift (I choose to believe he genuinely tried to get me the shift I wanted instead of his, but who knows). Sparing the corpo autism, it's cozy, solid job for me right now, and I really don't know how to repay him. Even without the job, we're a lot closer despite hanging out less, since B's just… more fun to be around, and hasn't tried any weird shit. Being coworkers is a blast since we're the only ones in the office, the shift time ended up fitting us both, we're kinda family to each other. If I'm honest, I hope it ends with dating properly since he's been lovely, and there's some mutual, slow burn pursuit there. Having more time together has only been a positive. SURPRISE - A has hated this entire aspect for the last month+ since he's been unemployed, isn't interested in finishing his education, kinda does nothing in general and isn't proactive. He likes things handed to him, so he self-inserted into the whole job deal, and was told directly by B that he wouldn't get it, so just focus on finishing a degree and finding an interest in the first place. To me, that was a reasonably well-handled and honest conversation that happened about a month ago.

Skip to tonight, fun party, moid B showed up buzzed with his buddy (never ends well, we know this, he knows this). We were shooting the shit about work for quite a while, which made A seethe the more we talked. B then kinda retardedly was describing an unrelated, overqualified coworker who isn't proactive at all, blames everyone else for shit. He couldn't find the words, and then just blurts out "OH, he's like A." He immediately knew that was dumb, apologized profusely, but A blew up twice and has been throwing a fit the entire night. As in, me sat in between them while A is yelling at B declaring that he's offended, then dealing with the fallout via text hours after we left. A snapped back at us when we offered to help clean up, saying tomorrow is some "big day for [company] people," (all fucking 2 of us) then demanded I uninvite B to said group lunch tomorrow to spite him. A's new fucking angle is insisting that I only got hired because B wants to fuck, and that somehow B is harassing me at work. I'll be honest, even if the whole job thing was a secret plan to bang once, I'd only be impressed at the unnecessary, herculean effort on B's part.

I essentially put my foot down, told A to let the retarded comment go, I'm not going to scold B on A's behalf. Told him to take it to B again directly, since yes I agree he has the random bluntness autism, but he isn't heartless by any means. No response on that but I guess I'll see tomorrow, kek. This could easily fuck over group dynamics but the only person who hinges a lot on that is A himself.

Why the fuck do they act like this? Should I stick with the fuck off response since this would be short notice to just uninvite people? This is cringe.

I think there's a good chance A WANTED this to happen because he's dissatisfied with the current status quo. He's into you, you're clearly not into him but into B… When B made that comment, he saw a chance to either convince you to take his side and/or have a reason to get out of your little clique and took it.

We have been together for 1.5 years now and I'm very satisfied in the relationship. His ex (who he was with for 5 years) cheated and he recently told me how much this shook him and how he wouldn't have ended the relationship himself.

Nonas, I know that I am most likely the problem in this situation so bear with me. My boyfriend is very lovely and sweet but I can't take the frequency with which he compliments and showers affection onto me. We're both autistic, and he's kind of acting the way I do when I get hyperfixated on a fictional husbando or something like that. I'm a lot more reserved with my affections because I know what it's like to feel easily-caged, so it's safer to obsess over someone who isn't even real. I haven't had a relationship before him, but in past friendships things would always move quite quickly and it would become this pattern where they'd put me on a pedestal and become very clingy, and I could never understand why. Maybe that would be flattering to some, but it was always so excessive and intense. It just makes me feel suffocated. It would be one thing if he had always been like this, but before we became official he was quite restrained and cerebral (which I find really attractive). Now that we're actually in a relationship it's like the majority of our conversations are just him repeating his compliments to me. There's nothing wrong with being affectionate or sappy, but I just wish I didn't have to get so easily threatened and uncomfortable by it. I've expressed to him that while I appreciate it, this sort of thing can become very overwhelming for me, but of course that's probably not a nice thing for him to hear… and I don't want that to ruin things. Do you have any advice for how I can go about this better or just get used to it so he doesn't have to censor himself?

Seems like A's true personality is coming to light and his nice guy facade is falling apart. You mention he isn't proactive so while you and B progress in life in general, A is not going to change for the better. B seems to have a better prospective in life. I'd say take a chance with him since you already know him as a good friend. It's okay to side with B, I know you don't want to hurt A's feelings but that's part of his manipulative behavior and he intentionally makes things this way. If you and B do get together, don't think of it as "A was right", A is just observant and knows how to get under people's skin. He has too much time on his hand to focus on this like that, of course he wants his hand held the entirety of his life.

I cannot stand my boyfriend's family. He and I are of such different cultures and upbringings that while I hesitate to call any of his family bad people, I find them rude, vulgar, and difficult to be around. Even though my boyfriend has very little in common with them and he lives hours away, he is still close with his family so there is no getting rid of them. Meanwhile, I would not want any of these people in my life if I could help it. Many of them struggle with money, and his mother in particular expected my boyfriend to help struggling family members out financially as soon as he got his first "nice" career position. His parents also made such a mess of the family's finances and insurance policies that he is still undoing the damage, at nearly thirty years old. To me, almost everyone in that family is bad news. I feel extremely uncomfortable with the prospect of being legally and socially responsible for them if they were to become my in-laws. The relationship is wonderful aside from that, so I don't exactly want to break up with my boyfriend because of his family. On the other hand, if I have to go to another one of their nightmarish gatherings I think I may end up on the news, so I am not sure what to do.

I guess it's like this. We've spent extended periods of time together irl, he's met my family, we've gone on big trips together, and stayed at each other's houses.
whilst with him, i would intend to use my visa to work part time and get a little economic independence. worse comes to worse, i could go back home, i think.
the part that makes me concerned is that i know he actually cares, and has been there in my lowest, grossest, most vomity moments, and is very considerate. he would often cry when we say goodbye, and said that he would not be ok if we didn't end up together. and to be honest, i've never had such a connection as this, where i can be my weirdest and most feral self.
i think this could last at least until i have a degree, just in case, because i also believe women should have options at all times.
i don't know how things will be if we spend another year apart. i could ask him to try to find a job here, although my town is kind of rundown, unsafe, poorly connected. in his city, he has an actual apartment, and there's opportunity there. but my heart hurts to think of leaving. thanks for reading my problems

how old would i have to be to get married? many girls my age are getting married and engaged. i feel like 20 is a proper adult age anyway, i really know who i am, but my mother says you don't know who you are until about 26 years old. i would say i know him quite well, it's been a year and 3 months with much time irl together. also i feel like i should get married because i did some intimate stuff for the first time, whilst leaving a little stuff out, and i have a nagging feeling that im not supposed to do that before marriage. sorry if that's offensive. i think women should be happy and that's all, i just feel i have to live up to some standards that live rent free in my head, religiously.

I was talking with my dad the other day about life and we were talking about how I bailed on marriage and a house with a terrible moid and my dad said he regretted getting engaged at 19 and married young and wish he was more like me. Really consider it anon, you're most likely going to change and grow in these next few years. If you really think you can gain benefits from this union heavily consider what your options for escape are if its not what you want. Can you delay marriage but still continue the relationship, I mean if you envision forever what's the rush

Why are you marrying a guy who doesn't understand the situation he's putting you in? If he actually cared for you and understood you, he would take in the account how much he's asking you to give up and at least try to meet you halfway somehow. Is this really the person you want to marry? You'll have so many moments in your life like this one, moments you'll have to make tough decisions with no clear answer. How is the partner you are choosing to be with dealing with this? Think about it. Life will hit both of you with the most unpredictable shit possible. How are you and him handling this situation, and how do you think you'll handle even worse shit in the future? The fact that you're worried about being one year apart would end your relationship shows how fickle it is. This is the type of stuff you and him should figure out together, and both should take decisions aiming for the future if marriage is actually your goal. You are giving up way too much, your family, your country, your education, to be with one person. The fact you brought this issue here worries me. You should feel comfortable talking about this with him. Relationships usually end when the couple can't deal with the bad situations together. Yeah, I get it that the good is great, that you love that, but how is he handling this hard decision? It feels like he's putting it all on you. I do think 20s is too young to marry, sorry. You both will change and that doesn't mean you won't still like each other, but if by any chance you don't like him anymore, can you live with the decision that you isolated yourself from your family and friends and delayed your education for it?

The fact you're seriously considering marrying a guy you've met less than 3 months ago proves how immature and inexperienced you are and how much you've still got to learn. Take it from an anon who's in her late twenties, you'll learn, change and develop so much as a person in the coming years while finishing school and getting your first taste of real adulthood. Don't commit to a guy when you're this inexperienced and naive about yourself, what you want and need in life and a life partner and generally about how the world works. Listen to your mom (she's right, your brain doesn't stop developing before 25).

Aside from the fact that you're too young and still have a lot to learn about yourself, A FOREIGN guy wanting to marry you WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF MEETING YOU is EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS. This should've set the alarm bells off in your mind and the fact that it didn't is more proof you are far from ready to commit to marriage.

im proud of you for saying no. it's definitely one of the hardest things you can do.
i don't think he's a terrible moid at all. i genuinely feel so cared for and considered, in a way that's so rare to encounter from genz men these days. i cherish him.
that being said, i think you're right about options for escape. which is why i plan to find some income whilst there, since i don't have to worry too much about rent, and having an education behind me. i don't intent to stay in his country forever. also, marriage would help for legal reasons.
>>401005
i think he does understand how much of a sacrifice it is. so he promised to cook nice meals and clean with me. if im ever uncomfortable at an event, he just says 'ok we're off' and genuinely puts me first. and said that he is ok with moving nearer my family, but waiting for us both to be done with school is the option we're thinking of, because he's already studying there, and education is much cheaper where he is, and i can feel safer in his city than mine. as long as he (and i will double check) is ok with spending time in my home country, im ok with this.
>>401007
1 year and 3 months. 3 months would be a little bananas, haha. i think one of the biggest reasons is that i have been intimate with him, and a nagging part of me feels that it's a waste if i don't marry the person i did that with, for the first time. although im a feminist, we grew up with religion.
i think you're right. although i feel so much pressure to do things by a certain age, whilst im still 'young', im also scared i won't meet someone who i mesh so well with again.
there's definitely so much i have to learn about the world. i think i am being extreme. the thing is, what else would i do? i don't want to never speak to my best friend again. maybe we can still meet up and stuff. all of this is hard, the money drain, the visiting, the time is takes. but one thing is for sure, im a little unsure about committing so early

I think I'm going to break up with my new boyfriend. Yesterday I went to his place for the first time. We planned to cook together and have a nice romantic evening. Sadly it completely went to shit. When I asked were certain utensils were located, he became frustrated and treated me as if I asked the dumbest question ever. As the evening progressed I got really angry and quiet since I was the only one doing the cooking while he was preparing some sort of stuff he eats during the week? Like why can't you do this when I'm gone? So I am just going to do this myself or what? It got to a point were I was so shut down since I was ruminating in my own head how to address this situation. I made it through the meal without further complications until we talked about the gym. I wanted to try and connect and told him about my new gym and what exercises I am currently doing. He just took this as an invitation to patronize me and tell me that everything I do is wrong and that I need to do x and y. Afterwards we wanted to watch a movie. When I looked over I saw that he was secretly watching a soccer match on his phone. I called him out two times and told him that his behavior was disrespectful. He just asked in a really cold voice in what ways or some shit as if it wasn't obvious? I then told him that I was leaving and he just said that I shouldn't leave anything behind like my contacts or earrings and that he needs to reflect on the situation and that I would still be a valuable person even if he decides against me or some shit. I had enough of this bullshit and just left. What a night.

Cooking and cleaning are just daily mundane things we'll all do regardless if we're married or not, I don't personally would see that as perks and bailing out events when you're uncomfortable is the bare minimum. You should at least try to live with him before getting married to get a feel of how it is. The best bet you got is to open up with him about everything. If you don't feel comfortable talking about what you talked here with him, that's a bad sign. Most anons and your mom are telling you the same thing because we all been through our 20s, we do change. It's not impossible you both will like each other through the changes, but it's concerning you're betting so much on that chance. Make a choice considering things can get wrong, if you can deal with that outcome then fine, but be responsible with yourself above anything else. You can't break up with yourself, so if you do yourself dirty, you'll be stuck with this no matter what, think really hard on what's important to you.

You don't need to get married. It sounds like you only want to get married because you fooled around sexually and you have FOMO / fear of missing out (and to make it easier for you to move to his country which is a whole separate thing you shouldn't do). Those are bad reasons to get married.
If you want to go to his country for school and opportunities and self development, then by all means do it. But don't marry this guy. He is not meeting you halfway. I'm sure you really like each other but from everything you said he's offering a 50/50 responsibilities split with you once you get there which is actually really unfair because you're at a huge disadvantage from the start and he's already asked you to do way too much.

He sounds like he's not into you anymore, the soccer thing was dumb, specially when he agreed to watch the movie.

If you are going into a ldr you need to talk about this up front, make plans to meet up as soon as possible, the timeline you're imagining etc. Otherwise you are just dating a fantasy and you're going to get strung along for years. Actually I think it should be the same with normal relationships too, too many people are dating a literal imagination in their head bc "it was too soon to talk about x" and then 10 years pass and they're dating someone with wildly differing views who views them as a placeholder and now they're too scared to burst the fantasy bubble by talking about the relationship.

I'm a specialist when it comes to LDRs (been in two, first one was 3 years long, the other 4 years, both were 1 to 2 hours away by plane) and I can tell you: it's shit, it's not worth it, it won't work out. The second guy I was with even moved countries so we lived one and a half hours away by car, and we broke up right after kek all of it was completely pointless. LDRs really only work for people who are separated for a definite period of time, like when one has to leave for a few months due to work. Anything uncertain where one person might change their mind is automatically doomed. Even if it's only 2 hours away by plane, life gets busy and you'll see each other every 3 months or so at best if you aren't both NEETs.
If you decide to see each other more often, like during weekends, it's still shit. During my first LDR we saw each other about once or twice a month for a weekend, and it was so incredibly stressful. We fought every time about who should come visit and go through the pain of a 5 hour busride on Friday, and then again on Sunday. Using the plane each time wasn't feasible due to the price.

When you do visit each other, suddenly living together for weeks will drive you insane. Not only are you unaccustomed to experiencing each other in person, you'll feel the need to do something together since your time before you or he has to leave is so limited. Once it's time to say goodbye, you'll regret any time you "wasted" by being on your own instead of being glued together and doing some kind of fun activity as a couple 24/7. It's exhausting.
When you aren't visiting each other, you'll have to get used to feeling seething jealousy whenever your boyfriend would rather go out with his friends instead of sitting around at home to VC with you. You will be passionless penpals about 90% of your relationship because sending nudes or sexting or having phone sex gets old after the initial infatuation dies down.
What do you do if one of you is sick, or undergoing some type of crisis or tragedy? It's not like you can quit your job or school to rush to the other's aid. You won't even be able to drop in every evening to hug, cuddle, make dinner, or help with chores. You'll, once again, be stuck on Discord and helplessly watch and listen to the other cry without being able to provide any physical comfort or assistance.

The worst part is the sunk cost fallacy. Because, if you break up after a year, did you try enough to make things work? You love each other, and you don't want to let go. You talk about closing the gap. You make wishy washy plans and have conversations such as this:
>Let's not break up. Then-and-then, at some point in the future, eventually, one of us will move!
>"Who?"
>Um, not me. I have my family and friends here.
>"Well, me too."
>All right, let's bench the topic for later. We'll figure something out.
Rinse and repeat whenever you doubt your relationship. You never end up figuring anything out. Even if you do, you might break up immediately after like me and my ex did. All the weeks, months, years, and energy you spent on that digital person - who you weren't even able to touch the vast majority of time you were together - will have been a waste of time.
TLDR long distance retardationships are 0/10. If you have any other questions or need more sense to be talked into you, I'm here.

AYRT, thanks for the support anons. I was exaggerating because I had just gotten back from the most chaotic family gathering I've ever had the misfortune of attending, so the real situation isn't that bad. It turns out the most annoying people are actually distant relations/extended family who only crawl out of the woodwork for major family events/parties. His immediate family is OK, and after I told him off for paypigging out of familial obligation that one time my bf wised up. The main problem is that the extended family is full of weirdos and cows, but even my bf agrees they're annoying and as long as I politely decline invitations to big family gatherings I don't have to think about them. Plus, he has other siblings who work and plenty of young cousins entering the workforce, so the onus is no longer on him to "support the family".
Yes they're working-class immigrants. My parents and most of the people I grew up with are also immigrants, but I grew up middle-class so it was a big shock at first.

I can’t stop thinking about this moid, it’s driving me crazy. I feel like I have brain damage. I want to slam my head repeatedly against a wall so I can stop thinking about him and smiling, we spoke last night for hours straight about out interests and religion and music and I was beaming I was radiantly happy to speak with someone who’s smart and funny and cultured but it’s torture to demean myself like this, reduce myself to this snivelling pathetic woman-child obsessing over whether a moid will contact her today. I keep glancing at my phone all day like I’m expecting an important business call. Every time I catch myself with my thumb hovering over the messenger icon I want to commit self-trepanation. Maybe I’m hormonal and the crushing intensity of lust will ease in a few days. God, I hope so. I want to talk about him to anyone who’ll listen but I’m too embarrassed of being a simp I’ve kept my mouth shut. I want to see him again but he lives hours away and it’d be creepy to visit him specifically. I’ve only known him for a few weeks but I’ve already created elaborate fantasies of our life together like some delusional psychiatric patient. I need a lobotomy I need an induced coma I need to distract myself so I don’t message him first and also so I can concentrate on work and not think about putting his calloused fingers against my lips.

Speaking of nerd fandoms, the shirts he wears are just totally random and he doesn't actually care much about the titles on them. It's not like he's a hardcore weeb who wears anime girl shirts. Just like, a generic anime shirt from Hot Topic bought 10 years ago that he still wears. So I want to think that he has a better chance since he's not passionate about those things.
He can pull off alt light clothes very nicely and it suits him well. Looks great in button ups too. He has the body for it, he's not like a fat neckbeard. But he just always grabs the ratty old studio ghibli shit shirts.

I think you're overthinking it. Just tell him those don't flatter him and you want to help him pick out nicer stuff to wear, then help him pick out nicer stuff and compliment how he looks in it.
The only advice on what not to do that I have is DO NOT throw away any of his shitty tshirts. He can do it himself but don't ask him to. They're still good for pajamas and wearing around the house or whatever. He will resent you and it is weird to throw away his clothes. Not saying you would do this but if you are thinking you'd love to throw them in the trash, take a chill pill and stop yourself.

Has anyone here been in an open relationship or a non-monogamous relationship before?

You should get a real bed. Bare mattress on the floor is a bad look. I do not approve. It's really hard to keep a floor mattress clean because it's too heavy to shake out.
If you fully switch to a futon setup and keep it very clean then that's fine but you can't just slap your mattress on the floor.

A bed frame allows air circulation underneath the mattress, plus it makes cleaning underneath more easy. A better solution is getting a new bed frame. If you're on a budget, you can get 2nd hand ones for cheap or even for free with ease because people want to get rid of then when they're moving.

I am in a poly relationship and I can assure you, while it’s fairly normal to sometimes feel lonely, it should be talked about a lot and none should be left behind. The issues the bf is having with other girls is giving me vibes that he is incapable of committing and communicating with one partner, let alone multiple. If you want such a relationship you should be the one talking and working with everyone else to find a solution where everyone feels loved.

that's really sad especially if she's falling for those other guys than the one she's with, they might as well break it off at that point. To be honest I heard from my friend (the bf) that they don't even have sex because of her physical health causes pain.

Thanks for the help nonas, I was actually prepared for derision than to get any genuine advice. I just adore indulging in that fanatical, restless pining and idealisation, it’s something I’ve very rarely experienced because most men are hideous and/or stupid so it’s a thrill to languish in it, even though I know it’s not healthy. You might be right about needing a husbando. Or channeling the neuroticisms and more unsavoury thoughts into writing or music. I hope eventually I’ll snap out of this demonic possession and realise this man is literally like any other mouth-breathing, greasy moid with a porn addiction. But also I don’t! I hope and pray he isn’t! I already hate how infrequent his messages are but at the same time his parents are visiting this weekend, he said he’d be free on Monday. Does he think I have nothing better to do than sit and gaze longingly out of a window for him until then? What a petty narcissist, I’m obsessed. I jump up to catch the scraps of attention he throws at me.

No. 402204

Communicating when you’re developing feelings is not the same of being an attentive partner. It looks to me like she’s neglected, with unmet needs and probably is in other relationships so that she can have a bit of those needs fulfilled elsewhere. His reasoning for wanting a non monogamous relationship sounds like bullshit but it is also true that a mono relationship is a gateway for codependency maybe that’s what he means. Idk.

Just based off what you've told us, seems like a go-ahead to me. If he is into strategy games and Roman history though, I would probe a bit into his political ideology to make sure he's not some far right misogynistic weirdo if you haven't already. But that's just a precaution, having those interests doesn't necessarily mean he is like that.

Roman history and strategy games are kinda red flags but they could be normal interests. Ask him what he likes about Roman history and let him sperg for a bit. If he's interested solely in the military side of Rome and goes on about racial purity, get out. Same with strategy games, if he goes into American Psycho territory because strategy games are a way to assert control over the mind of the average sheeple, he's insane and you should leave.

Was seeing a moid. He seemed really earnest, interesting and he was physically my type. He planned the first date and it went well and our conversation flowed naturally. He told me at the end of the date he "wasn't feeling a really strong romantic connection", and I thought, okay, well we've only just met so it makes sense. He messaged me that night once we had gone home asking for me to let him know when I'm free next so we can see each other again. We met up again the next week and I (stupidly, idiotically, disgustingly) slept with him. The sex was pretty excellent, and he still seemed interested. We planned another date a couple of weeks later and went on it a couple of nights ago. At the end of the date, I got hit with the "I am not looking to pursue a romantic connection with you," conversation. He said that if he doesn't feel it immediately, it's not something that grows on him. However, he still "wants to hang out with me, because I'm fun and he enjoys talking to me". I got angry that he was planning intimate dates and doing things with a romantic pretence only to turn around and basically solicit a friends with benefits relationship. I told him straight up that I will not be seeing him again, and that our 'relationship' will be ending. He was quite shocked by this, like he expected me to go along with this, and said something like "now I'm upset; usually when this has happened before, the girl tries to make it work," or something absolutely fucking ridiculous, underlying the idea that this is something that has happened multiple times with him.

So, I'd fallen for yet another emotionally unavailable scrote with a sex addiction and no ability to commit or feel romantic love. I assume it's related to trauma he has experienced before, as he hinted at being in a toxic past relationship that ended four years ago, which was the "last time he had been in love".

Why does this keep happening to me, nonas? Where do I go from here? How do I keep my vulnerable heart from being crushed over and over again?

No. 402376

>>402372
It isn’t your fault and he’s a pos but don’t sleep with a guy on your second date. No matter how good the sex is, it doesn’t guarantee a damn thing, he even told you so himself.
He kept saying he’s not feeling it because he goes after the type of girl who would keep seeing him anyway and he knows it, he says it so that you can’t say he was leading you on later and it’s “your fault” if you don’t get what you’re looking for. This is why you don’t look at a man’s words, but his actions. They will dress it up any which way so it sounds better but the gist of it is he doesn’t give a shit and just wants easy sex without the responsibility of a relationship. Males are opportunistic like that.
In the future do not have sex with a male until he has proven with his actions that he likes you for you. Put yourself first and explicitly state what you want out of a relationship so he doesn’t try to weasel his way out like “but I thought this is what you wanted”. If he tries to make it official too fast but won’t let you meet his friends, he doesn’t like you and is still trying to get laid. Don’t try too hard to be a “cool chill girl”, it benefits only him and he’ll treat you like a doormat.

There is no trauma. He just doesn’t want to be with you, and the reason why is none of your business. You’re not his therapist and can’t fix him. It’s his problem that he will have to deal with, not yours. Pity him and move on.

I suppose the problem that is to me, his actions did reflect the idea that he was genuinely interested in me. He paid for my food, brought up planning more dates and didn't forget about dates we had planned a week earlier, and he travelled pretty far to see me. I suppose he also did a lot of intimate things when we were more intimate that I fell for like an idiot, like staring into my eyes intently, brushing the hair from my eyes, touching my lips etcetera - something you don't really expect from a casual fuck. But you're right about everything else nona, and I know it deep down, but somehow I continue to attract these men and my own self-esteem takes a hit in the process.

I was direct, set boundaries and questioned them, and when they tried to get whiny on me I hit them with the truth - I'm looking for a mature, responsible guy, and they're clearly not that.

Nonnas… I still love my ex. I “moved on” but the man I’m dating now doesn’t hold a candle to him. He was my first love. He also has a habit of paying for me to visit him (he has a lot of disposable income) and romances me so I fall back in love with him, then breaks my heart (dating me again, then dumping me, dating me then saying he sees me “as a sister”…) I recently blew up at him over this, because the last time EVERYONE in my family told me not to see him but I’m a retard and I trusted his word that he would not woo me again. Needless to say he lavished me with compliments and food and when I was hooked, it’s like he waited for me to show a moment of weakness (I got drunk and weird) and dumped me again. I feel like he’s trying to make me become obsessed with him. He took my virginity and keeps playing catch and release with me, and every time I bounce back a little less. Should I completely cut contact with him? Picrel is unrelated but it’s Audrey Hepburn dressed as a man which I thought was kino

I've been dating this guy for the past month and I kind of caught feelings for him or I'm just desperate because I haven't dated anybody for the past two years and I just want a hugs and kisses? There are a few things that bother me with him, so I need to get a clear head. In the past I've been into dark haired men that are very controlling and I just let things slide and ignore all of their red flags because I tell myself "well nobody is perfect" while they completely disregard my feelings and needs. My ex-boyfriend was really into sports and having a great physique so he would push that on to me and criticize my body and tell me what to eat and what exercises to do. I almost got out with an eating disorder. I am scared that I am repeating this pattern right now. The dude I am dating is a teacher and I have the feeling that he somehow has the need to always put himself above me and everyone else morally (he is a vegan) and intellectually? I am in no way stupid, I have a degree and a good job but he sometimes corrects my speech, tells me that I need to eat more quietly and always asks me questions like "so, when will you finally get your masters degree" and "what's your relationship with work like". He also makes me follow his routine were we wake up at 6 am on the weekend which is ok but a little weird. He gives me the feeling that I need to prove myself to him and if I slip up I get discarded. He also got extremely comfortable in my company and just burps and doesn't tidy up when I come over and other things like that? I'm not sure if it's my place to berate him and just be like "your place is a mess" since we've only known each other for a month. One time I told him about something that's been bothering and stressing me out at work and he was just like "well, that is a good time to control your feelings". I am not really sure what to think about this it feels weird. It started to feel weird when we talked about sports (we both go the gym) and while I just wanted to connect he proceeded to tell me what exercises to do and how to do them correctly which kind of reminded me of my ex. As I am writing this I realize that I am kind of a doormat and I need to fix myself please help

Maybe it’s not definitive enough to call him controlling like your abusive ex, but try to push back a bit at times when you think he’s trying to push you towards something. Like with your education or job, if it satisfies you and you’re stable with what you have, then just state that to end it. If he keeps reacting like he knows better and he’s disappointed in you, then he just can’t accept you. For the other things, tell him to have some better manners, like “please don’t burp.” If he keeps brushing it off and doesn’t give you reassurance that he takes you seriously, then he clearly doesn’t care about the basic things, and likely won’t care for other more serious complaints you may have later on.

If you're bad at spotting red flags use this rule of thumb : when he pulls "rules for thee but not for me", run away immediately, even if it's over something stupid. That's how the male parasite makes his home. The ugly tick that is his ego will only keep draining you to get bigger.

I’m just starting to realize I have massive intimacy issues that I’ve been ignoring for years. I think I’m kind of sickened by society’s obsession with sex and how cheapened it’s become through porn and such. Male sexuality and taste honestly disgusts me. Being sexualized makes me feel icky, almost angry tbh. I hate the expectations of sex that come with a relationship: being sexually available whenever the moid wants, sending nudes etc. I’m not asexual in the slightest, but I start to feel incredibly resentful when sexual availability is expected from me not on my own terms. Honestly unless it’s on my own terms I’m simply not interested, no matter how attractive the guy is. I’ve started realizing how strong this feeling is since I recently started dating again. The entitlement of moids towards my body makes me feel sick and honestly sometimes I want to punch/stab them. Is it normal to feel so disgusted by male sexuality that it puts you off the idea of dating altogether?

I don't know if it's normal, but I certainly feel similarly to you. There is something about it all that is so deeply unsexy to me that it turns me off from being interested at all. I'm sure there are plenty of other women who feel this way though, since men always complain about the "loneliness epidemic" or whatever and how many women are choosing to stay single now. If I had to choose between being single or being in a relationship with a guy where I felt uncomfortable in every sexual encounter then I'd rather stay single.

Honestly, from female friends that I’ve talked to, I think this is a very common sentiment a lot of them, even normie women have.

There’s a reason dead bedrooms become so frequent after a LTR/marriage: most of the time, it’s the woman who doesn’t want to have sex with her husband. This gets blamed on all kinds of things, most people try to claim that women just naturally have low sex drives or whatever, but I beg to differ. I think women are almost just as horny as men, but the simple fact is just living with a man will put you off him eventually.

Once you’ve smelled enough of his shits, seen enough of his skidmarks on the pan, caught his search history by accident enough, been subject to his insensitive remarks enough, etc etc, it’s completely natural to be turned off by your Nigel and to stop wanting sex with him pretty much ever again.

A lot of women think there’s something wrong with them with this happens: they start going to sex counselling, trying to indulge in his kinks even when they don’t want to, start taking herbal female viagra pills etc, but the bottom line is that most men are pig disgusting and also annoying as fuck. It’s impossible to feel attracted to your Nigel when you realize what dirty entitled vile pigs most of them are.

My husband started a new job working at a country club and he generally works pretty late (~10-11pm). I WFH and am a hermit so he is massively more socializing than I am. I think my hermitude has made me go kind of crazy. I am convinced he's fucking his coworker and I have literally zero proof whatsoever. It's not even vibes based or something in his attitude, I am pretty sure it's entirely a delusion amplified by my abysmal self-esteem (he's charismatic and easy on the eyes and I'm on lolcow waiting for him to come home listening to a podcast alone on a Saturday night so make your own assumptions).

I have a crush on my coworker. We’re both college students and work at a grocery store. He’s really nice and charming and I’m kinda obsessed with him. It’s reached the point were I can’t wait to go to work just so I can see him again (which is weird to me because I normally hate working). We have headsets at my job and we joke around a lot over the headsets and then talk some more during our break. Sometimes we catch the same bus home together and sit next to each other. I really really like this guy. However, I’m shy and can only talk to him one on one. When our coworkers are also using headsets, I act like I’m mute and don’t speak. If our coworkers are in the break room with us then I don’t speak much. I’m starting to feel irrational jealousy too when I see him laughing with coworkers our age. I know I’m strange but I like him so much. How can I work out if he’s into me? Sometimes he’ll finish before me and wait outside until I finish so we can walk to the bus stop together and catch the bus home. I was talking to him the other day as we were walking home and a car did a random turn near us and he held me back (put his hand out to stop me moving) and told me to be careful. Is that a sign or am I delusional? He’s a friendly guy and is nice to everyone at the grocery store so maybe I’m overthinking it. The only male friends I have are gay so I don’t know how straight men flirt or whatever. Please help.

Nonnies, I have an emergency question. Guy I have been seeing seriously for over a month canceled on me very last minute and said something from work came up. When I questioned him on it further he admitted that nothing happened with work, he got scared because I asked him to pick me up from my mom's house where I am currently staying. He thought this meant meeting my mom and panicked, and instead of being a fucking adult and telling me this or asking me if my mom would be there he stood me up literally 30 mins after we were supposed to meet. My mom isn't even home today, I could have told him this if he asked. So I arranged to meet with him still at a different place near me in a few mins, and I am looking for advice on what I should do. Get him to pay for my coffee, subtly make fun of him, call him a bitch? What would my lovely fellow farmers do?

It sounds like he likes you. There's always a chance that he just likes you platonically, but ime most straight men that really like you as a friend and that don't find you unattractive would probably like to date you. The putting his hand out thing is a pretty good sign. Feel it out a bit more, and put some serious thought into whether or not you would like to make the first move. (Because you're coworkers, he'd probably have to be extremely sure that you like him before making the first move.)

>>402860
You really should drop him. I think this behavior could maybe be excusable if he's younger than 22 or so, but even if he is that young, that's a serious tard moment and does indicate that he has some social anxiety issues that will need to be addressed. But you've only been "seriously dating" for a month, so I don't think there's very many circumstances at all in which it'd be worth it for you to keep investing in this relationship. This is the sort of thing that will rear its head time and time again, so unless you have a really good reason to believe that he's otherwise perfect for you, and you can rationally say that the chances of you finding a better partner are miniscule, just forget about it.

Oh my god, nona. If the men you’re dating are treating you like a personal nude dispenser or as if you should act like their personal fleshlight on demand, then you’re dating a worthless porn addict and should block immediately and never contact him again.

The only men who think women should act like this for them are porn addicts whose only interactions with women are their fantasy scenarios and pornography. These scrotes are completely out of touch with reality and you want nothing to do with them anyway. If he starts acting this way, be thankful he showed you his true colors so you can block him sooner than later.
These worthless coompigs think that because the onlyfans chick they’re subbed to drops them nudes for 15 bucks a month, that this is how non-sex worker women should also act in relationship. It’s complete bullshit, and as other nonas have said, this is all simply a by-product of porn trying to normalize abnormal behavior so that more women fall victim to the sex industry.
You know the frog in the boiling water analogy right? Onlyfans and porn companies are literally trying to do the exact same thing to young women so that more of them can be groomed into joining the porn industry as soon as they turn 18.
It’s about encouraging women to objectify themselves as quickly as possible, pressuring them to bow to male demands and entitlement towards womens bodies. It’s about normalizing porn shit and trying to make women apply it to their daily lives and irl relationships. Same way anal and eating ass became ‘mainstream’ due to porn even though they both carry serious health risks. This is the insidious way that porn bleeds over into real life: the only thing that can stop it is women with strong boundaries. This is also partly why men love porn so much, because it normalizes abnormal things and causes women to doubt themselves and lack sexual boundaries.
But anyway like I and the other nonas have said, it’s not normal or acceptable for men to treat you this way. Please don’t fall for the porn industry bullshit that tries to convince you it is. You know deep down in your gut that it’s wrong, and you’re right about that.

Normalfag women turn down their bf/husbands request for sex all the time, due to headache, stress, tired from work, not in the mood etc. And guess what? Her Nigel doesnt dump her, or try to rape her, or immediately go out and cheat, or ask for a divorce, or suddenly hate her because he can’t get his dick wet that night. He accepts it like a patient rational human being, they have sex again when she actually feels like it, and they stay together and continue having a healthy normal dynamic. You can see this all the time irl. It’s perfectly normal and expected for all functioning couples.

The incel weirdos you associate with online are the bottom of the barrel lowlifes and do not represent normal humans.

This is correct the first couple times. Eventually the implicit agreement that the man should fuck regardless makes itself known. It doesn't necessarily manifest as rape, it's more like the man chippng away at the woman's sense of integrity with bad unwanted sex. Normalfag women get raped after childbirth all the time. A 'migraine' doesn't stop a man who really wants it, no matter how nice he is otherwise.
You're right but not in the way you think: most couples are sexless after a while which is normal and expected, and so women aren't burdened with sex duty all the time (unlike what some virginal/BP users believe). But there is definitely a window of time where it's required by many, if not most

You're probably right porn doesn't help but >>402984 is right it's not from porn addiction. This attitude is older than porn addiction.

It's more tied to women being property in their minds and the insane sense of entitlement they have over our bodies. Unless you're talking specifically about demanding nudes which I think probably is a pornsick thing.
Reading the other posts after this the discussion really went off the rails and got infighty. Like here >>402996 I don't even know why anon would pretend anyone said we have to send nudes.

Are you trying to say that marital rape didn't exist before 4chan was invented? Make sense.
Obviously it's bad and shouldn't be tolerated in any relationship. Honestly I think it should be legal to kill your rapist but that's another topic and we're already derailing here. Just because it's bad doesn't mean it doesn't happen, women are pressured to "put out" in relationships as if they're fulfilling their end of a bargain or something all the time and it's fucked up.

Maybe I'm more upset because the weather is preventing this, but I feel like I have the right to feel as such. We haven't been official yet, but I met this guy who lives 60 miles away from me. In our first conversations, he's the kind of person I want a future with and rare for me to find a guy like this. We hit it off well the first date. The second date, we got intimate. Since then it's just been a bombardment of busy work schedule from him. His sleep schedule is fucked up because he works overnights, on top of that his family asks of him to do manual labor while he's still on a few hours of sleep. Thankfully the busy month is over, it's just I have not been able to see him in a whole month. I told him our communication felt one sided, and he apologized, he said he doesn't want me to be sad. He also explained he is trying not to be clingy, because he knows his work schedule has been busy and we haven't been able to see each other. Like, nonnas. I am willing to literally drive up to his family's house and I told him this, I have so much fucking free time and each time I think about how he sometimes just spends much of his day adjusting his sleep schedule, I start crying. One thing that's been keeping me afloat is the fact he's hoping to get a morning position at his current job doing the same thing, and if that doesn't come through, he did fill out an application to my employer to send. For one, he's not really a texter or online person, so it makes it difficult in between all this space. I've been making myself go out, the other night I went to a rave, I'm just throwing myself out there alone and it feels so isolating at the end of the day wishing he could be there with me. We've dreamt about each other more than we've seen each other and I find myself getting more sad. He reassured me June won't be like May in terms of busyness and sleep being all over the place, which April held it to be true for the time we did get to spend time together. But Lord the month of May is making me grow resentful. I have thoughts that I'm only thought of when it's convenient for him and it feels like he doesn't want to take things seriously even if the circumstances aren't in our favor right now. The comment he made a few weeks ago about how he was holding himself back from coming off as clingy keeps gripping at me right now. I WANT the clinginess tbh.

This situation sounds…not good nona. You’re correct in saying it’s one sided, at least that how it seems from your post. I know you don’t want to hear it, sorry, but it sounds like he is making excuses not to fully commit or demonstrate any real responsibility towards you or a relationship.

It’s highly likely that he just likes your desperation/neediness and finds it an ego boost to have a girl willing to drop everything for him. Most men never experience this so the ego stroking is very addictive for the average moid. However, it won’t make him love or respect you. Unfortunately men like this are all too common.

A few texts a day, mentioning he dreamed of you, and him giving you a compliment once in a while doesn’t constitute a relationship nona. You could drive over there and declare your love for him, but chances are he’ll be embarrassed and try to downplay it, at best use you for sex then send you back on your way. Or worse he might even get the ick and become more distant and disinterested because you’re acting desperate. He’s feeding you crumbs and it’s sad. Chances are you’re dealing with a narc with commitment issues. Honestly his behavior sounds pretty textbook: the breadcrumbing, the vague promises of a future together but no real commitment, the constant excuses and pretending to be too busy to talk, a little bit of lovebombing here and there to keep stringing you along, only agreeing to talk to/see you on his own terms etc. Sounds like he’s loving the ego boost and is using you as narcissistic supply/a placeholder until something else comes along.

I really don't want him to turn out to be a narcissist. It feels like a failure on my part, because I've been working hard on trying to avoid getting into another relationship with one.
One thing that I notice is that I keep in mind how his past relationships ended; he described three of them as the girlfriend developing feelings for someone else. His work schedule being the reason why his girlfriend didn't want to make it work. When we started talking, he did say he'd like to make things work out, but I didn't expect it to be like this, where I'm waiting around for him to make the call on when we can hang out and he rejects my requests for us to see each other.

Probably everyone falls for a narcissist at some point nona. The important thing is to realize and prepare yourself or leave before they can do the devaluation/discard on you. Narcissistic men are highly attractive and alluring to women, the same way BPD women are highly attractive and alluring to men. Most people with dating experience will have fallen for one of these people, at least once in their lives. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed about it. You just need to make sure you don’t end up feeling used and abandoned once he decides to withdraw his affection and cut you off, as it’s usually extremely sudden.

Also, clusterbees almost always lie about how their precious relationships ended. They’ll often play victim and claim they were cheated on or abandoned, when actually they’re the ones who cheated/abandoned their partners. Or they treated their partners so shittily and neglected them so much that eventually their partners had enough and left them, and that causes a great deal of injury to the clusterbee, because they always like to be the one in control. You can never believe what they tell you about their dating history and exes because these people are allergic to the truth and will always find a way to paint others as the bad guy.

He did mention to me he did have a girlfriend years ago who lived across the border and he would see every month or so. And that ended because she got pregnant. So like, he's likely a chronic neglectful guy, even despite me telling him I'm "needy" and I value spending tons of time together and how I had previous boyfriends who were emotionally unavailable. If he's been trying to tell me hes not like the other guys, one month in this is almost a complete opposite of what I want in a relationship. I feel more alone and I find myself spending more hours in my days laying in bed.

>If the crush is really that obvious (explain to us how?)
He's been constantly eyeing me and initiates conversations every time he gets the chance to, if he sees me alone he comes to talk to me every time. I talked to my friend about him and she agreed that he has a pretty obvious crush on me.
I would be pretty surprised if he's playing some kind of mind game, I haven't gotten men like that for aeons after I grew a backbone. I'm not even sure if he registered that I have his phone number, I just called my number from his phone to check if I wrote the number right.

LDRs are one thing, but you live like an hour away from each other, right? You could see each other every day if you have as much freetime as it sounds like you do. He's probably using you for free attention and validation like the other nona said. If he isn't, then he's just lazy as fuck.
Drop him and find a guy that actually wants to see you. If a man is actually into you, he makes time for you, even if it's just to take a nap beside you after working in the coal mines for 16 hours or whatever your moid does.

I'm in a love triangle situation and have no idea what to do. Idk why people romanticize this in media its just conflicting and annoying and is a huge weight on my shoulders. Guy 1 is older than me, in his mid 20s, has a good stable job, is fully sane, has way more experience and thus his love feels more deep and genuine, but I'm not fully physically attracted to him. Guy 2 is a couple months younger than me, still a teen boy (19), and is a total loser who isnt the smartest (far from) and is kinda bpd but I feel a lot for him and we like the same music and have the same dreams. Both of them pressure me to be with them and then apologize and back off when I tell them I need to be single. both care about me idk what to do

When I'm having a conversation centered around conflict (or a fight, whatever you want to call it), what I can't stand is that it takes me at least 1-2 business days to actually process whatever the other person said.

This means I have a delayed reaction and then it's exhausting because it takes like 3-5 days to hash out what could have been 1 conversation. I know I'm likely very retarded and dumb due to this. How can I get better at this? Sometimes I think of responding in the argument, but then I get scared I'll say something cruel/rude/something that will fan the flames. I wait. Then I realize how I want to respond to the other person. But wait, it's been a whole day! When I've brought it up again, I feel like it just leads to terrible outcomes because the other person feels like I'm not letting x issue go or whatever and I feel blindsided because I don't know what I think about something until it's been a day or so. I feel like I drag things out, but it's not intentional. Is there any way to remedy this?

My partner is also more than likely has an avoidant attachment style and I hate how when I talk about an issue I have, he always hijacks it with some issue he has with me. He's always been like this. I've encouraged him to talk to me about his issues so we can address them in a devote conversation, but it doesn't work. It's like he only knows how to bring up issues if I bring up something first. I don't believe this is intentional on his part, I think he just does it without realizing it. He's vey much a person who crams their feelings down. Is there a guide for people who don't know how to talk about their emotions?

No. 403467

I had the same thing. It got better over time as I learned more about myself. Not as much of a problem now in my 30s so maybe if you're young you can look forward to that? No advice for how to deal with it, I was constantly just blankfacing during the fight and then two days later realizing this or that about it then never brining it up again because it's 2 fuckin days later. If it's something you're really hurt by you can act on it of course (like if you realize someone was really bad to you in a relationship, just leave; you don't have to talk about it and give them a chance to manipulate you) of if it needs to be talked about just explain you have this delayed reaction and if they care about you they'll listen.

For real. It's boggling. Romantic feelings always include physical attraction, that's always part of it, but somehow girls have been psyoped to forget that. If you don't have physical attraction it's not romantic love it's friendship.
Like we all know those bodice-rippers are unrealistic for many reasons (questionable plots and fantasies etc) but the part where romantic love involves feelings of wanting to kiss his face off and tear his clothes off or getting lost in an embrace because you love the feel of his body against yours is 100% what you should be getting when you get down with your nigel. If you're not attracted to him it's just not meant to be. That's a friend. I'm sure a friend could get you off if he tried but why put up with that if you want a real romantic relationship?

I need some nonas to just hear me out, or knock some sense into me, especially since this thread has been on the topic of LDRs a bit. I've been in an LDR for a little under two years now and I feel like it's started running its course. I don't have many people I can talk to about it, but I think I'm feeling it in my heart and probably have for a long time before I could even acknowledge it, and some reassurance that I'll be happier once I'm out of it would be appreciated.

Honestly the relationship was solid for the most part until these past few months. The first year was pure honeymoon phase, getting to know each other, gushing over one another, tons of laughing and late nights in call together. We've had some issues here and there, and he broke up with me once in the fall. We got back together, met up in person multiple times, and things have been (mostly) good.

The issue is these last few months. He used to have an off day or two here and there where he'd be more distant and a less affectionate than usual. I'd chalk this up to him being busy and tired out, and he'd always go back to his normal behavior. But it's been happening so freqeuntly lately and nonas, I'm tired. He's started getting so cold. It really started after one of our trips - when I came home, I wanted to apologize and talk a little, as I'd cried when I was there. TLDR we were hanging out with his family and his brother raised his voice with me and it freaked me out, and I just started crying. It sucked, it was embarrassing, and I just wanted to talk it out a little bit. But when I brought it up he just shut down. Got very cold, short, and unemotional, like he was annoyed I was mentioning it. So I stopped, and since then I feel like I've been walking on eggshells ever since I have any sort of issue. It never used to be like this. We used to be able to talk so openly, I could share my feelings or concerns or thoughts and we'd discuss everything with each other and comfort one another. And I keep hoping that's going to come back, but I don't think it is.

My car broke down recently, and when I expressed how frustrated I was over it and cried a little, he once again turned off. Instead of comforting me he got silent and made it very clear he was annoyed. Another week, we spent almost every day in call on a new game we were playing, and despite saying how much fun he was having over text, in call he was just… dead silent, short, completely different to how he normally is. Something was clearly up, but when I asked what was up he said no, so I dropped it. And eventually he just went back to normal again.

Since these moments started happening I've just had so much anxiety, and there were some periods of time where I've been crying almost every night, just so exhausted and confused and stressed out over what was happening. Trying to act normal when we talked but feeling like he was going to just break up with me again at any moment. But I guess I've had my breaking point. I found out an old friend of mine passed a couple weeks ago, and when I mentioned it to him and how I was feeling a little sentimental and sad, he just said "Awww, I'm sorry." and then… moved on. I'm not looking for sympathy, but jfc the lack of… empathy, interest, care, any sort of normal reaction fucked with my head and I've realized I'm done. At this point it feels like I'm just waiting for him to have one more of his weird little weeks so I can bring this all up and be done with it. I didn't realize how much this relationship has drained me these past few years until now. I fought so hard for it, fought so hard when he broke up with me, and now I can't understand why. I have been so scared to be alone and feeling so insecure, but I don't think this is helping me. I'm so sick of feeling scared to bring anything up, to have issues, to talk to my partner. I know it isn't right, I know it isn't what I want in a relationship. I just need to hear that I'll be better off. I am so scared to be 30 and single and start over again. I am so worried about how much I've actually been damaged by this relationship when I look back at it. I need to know it'll be better.

Also sorry for reposting this like three times but formatting bothered me and I am anxious

I am a hypocrite because I have extreme trust issues with men, but I've also cheated on every single bf I've ever had. Not fucking other guys always, sometimes I just have emotional affairs or date someone else for a few weeks while dating my bf, but I cannot stop using dating apps, adding random men, seeking external validation, sexting, having flings, sharing pics, meeting up with other men, making out, confiding in them, getting close to them emotionally and seeing them more than my bf, falling in 'love' making them fall in love with me etc. The worst part is I don't even feel particularly bad about it, I almost feel like my bfs deserve it and am somewhat happy when they find out and become devastated. I use any excuse to do it, too. I found out my bf was still watching porn behind my back, so that made me think fuck it, I'll cheat on him. I wonder what's wrong with me.

Cheating on a scrote who may or may not beat her to death over it for shits and giggles is a dumb idea. Anons here who call her based or cheer her on for making men "suffer" are stupid as shit. She turned herself into a prostitute to get male validation or attention or whatever other brainlet narc reasons she has for doing this.

PSA if you actually make decisions about wether or not you cheat on a guy based on concerns he might kill you, you are in an abusive relationship. That's not a normal concern. Normally you just break up. Also, it's never a woman's fault if a scrote rages out and commits homicide; even if he finds out she fucked a hundred other men and then he kills her, no one in their right mind would sum that up as "well obviously it's because she pushed his buttons". I hope the poster above me isn't a woman because if so "she" has an extremely buckbroken worldview.

Why am I so miserable in every relationship I get into? I know the problem is most likely with me, but I never feel happy or fulfilled with any man I date, or if I do, it ends very quickly.

I start finding flaws about their behavior and personalities and become so irritated and turned off by them that I start to hate them. It doesn’t help that most of the men I’ve ended up with turned out to be quite objectively shitty (I know since sharing details of certain things they did most people agree with me they were out of line) But I guess that might be because I’m also not giving out good energy and am attracting these people?

I honestly feel like Heather kek, relationships just make me depressed and I feel like men drag me down and make me unhappier than I’m supposed to be. I genuinely feel better and happier when I’m single, but I also get lonely and crave affection and sometimes dick too. Idk what to do anymore.

What the fuck do I do? Now I am afraid that if I try to go back into the workforce, I will experience that all over again and then I'll be unable to get back on disability. So I stay on it to at least have some sort of guarantee of something because it's better than the possibility of fucking my life up further (especially after this) on top of possibly having no money at all. I don't have to pay rent, he pays for my expensive and much-needed therapy, and he genuinely supports me staying here for free even though we've broken up. I have offered to pay him rent with my disability money and he refuses to accept it. I tried giving him back his debit card when I broke up with him but he insisted that I keep it because "I deserve and need it" more than him, and so on. So I've been using it to buy necessities but I'm too scared to do anything more because I already feel very ashamed for existing so to do this to someone I have no obligations to makes me feel extremely guilty.

It's not some kind of fucked up long-game manipulation thing either where he's just hoping to make me even more dependent or something, although I understand if that's hard to believe. One of the main reasons he supports me financially is because he loves my art and encouraged me to puruse it full time. Still, I don't know what to do. I am perfectly fine being platonic roommates with someone who fucked up but still loves me a lot and wants to take care with me, in theory, even with my guilt. Realistically I know this isn't totally sustainable because it's just… sad, I guess. But part of me wonders if we can just keep this going for as long as possible while pursuing other avenues (e.g. going back to school or finding jobs that have minimal exposure to men). I don't even give a fuck if he wants to have sex with other women either, as long as I'm taken care of. He could watch porn for all I care because he's not my boyfriend and especially not my son and he's already shown his true colors in that department. This is all extremely pathetic of me, all of it, and I'm deeply aware of this, but does anyone have like…any advice whatsoever. Anything. Literally anything. Whether you want me to milk this situation for as long as possible or get the fuck out of here immediately, just anything.

Also let this be a lesson to never make the mistake of becoming dependent on men. I feel pretty trapped now and my options feel like I have to either live a weird double life and make the most of it or fuck my life up by leaving without a security net.

I didn't "make myself" disabled, I was raped prior to ever meeting him which made me struggle to work. So, because he has money, after a couple years of dating, he told me I could live with him and be supported by him. This seemed much more preferable, and quite frankly was more preferable, until the porn reveals. But yes I am stupid regardless and I accept this and I am done dating/having sex in general.

Yeah, unfortunately I was/am extremely vulnerable and when men can "prove" to me that they are not evil irl I become very gullible once my initial paranoia subsides, which led to me becoming very attached to him because I have a false sense of protection. I don't know, I know it's stupid. I'm not proud of it. I regret it. But for context I was also barely of legal age when we started dating and he was 24. I was very naive, still am but I'm getting better.

Men who watch porn, particularly violent, sadistic or rapey porn, are literally unsalvageable and should be thrown to the wolves at all costs. My porn addicted ex would mostly just look at softcore and nudes, and that was bad enough.
The fact that he knows you were raped and so traumatized by it that you couldn’t handle day to day life and had to go on disability, yet still continued jacking off to simulated (I hope?) rape and having mind blowing orgasms to the thing that ruined your life tells you everything you need to know: he was and is a bad person who prioritizes his orgasms over your mental health. You don’t have to tolerate traits in a person that hurt and traumatize you deeply just because they also happen to have some good or decent traits, and nor should you.
Get as far away from this man as possible and take back control of your life. Whether you need therapy, medication etc, all of those are better and safer crutches than living under the same roof as a man who literally gets off to seeing women being assaulted and hurt.

Nona, you were groomed by this man, do you realize this? He was older than you, you were a teenager, a vulnerable teenager with a shitload of trust issues and trauma, and he encouraged you to quit working and go on disability so you would be home all day and he could isolate and keep tabs on you.

He probably loved the fact that you were a scared anxious wreck and that he could position himself as one of the only people you could rely on or trust: classic grooming strategy.

It's literally all just a control thing. He basically coaxed you into a sex-for-rent situation. Many pedos and predators are perfectly happy to pay a young girls way and give them a place to stay one exchange for sex. All scrotes care about is access to your young body. He tried to frame the situation as him 'taking care of you' again classic groomer behavior. He wasn't taking care of you, he was a pedo/coomer who groomed you and was ensuring his own exclusive access to your teenage body and vulnerable mind.

He is aware he made you financially dependent on him by suggesting you stop working and he’d take care of you. Yes you agreed to this and it was a preferable setup at the time but he knows it puts you at a disadvantage to not have your own income. He must still have some affection for you as well as considerable disposable income to be supporting you still which is good because you could be out on the street right now or across the state at your moms. Don’t waste the good luck. You should stay if you don’t mind it until you have a safety net of money built up. Take cash out with his debit card every day and deposit it in your own bank account. I’m not joking, I’m not being edgy. You should do this. Whatever amount you think he will not comment on (you pick the number but try to take out at least $500 per week) up to the max if he’s really rolling in it. Like you said he makes six figures.

There are millions of women around the world who have been raped, had thing so horrendous happen to them too. I'm not saying your trauma is unfounded, but you made yourself fully dependent on a man,but couldn't work because of men? Fully put yourself at the mercy of this guy, but couldn't interact in public at a job??Did you save any bit of your disability money just in case? I'm hoping so. Anyway, if you want to get out of this you could get off disability or use social services to job hunt, but staying dependent on the system is guaranteed only scraping by, miserable existence. Working is the better way out, even if you find a way to get into a temp service or training. In the meantime, if you're still staying there, squirrel away money from even a part time job so you can dump him for good and get out of there. Tell him you're sick of doing nothing, hence the job. Sell things you don't need. Use the resources available through other social programs. It's not going to be easy but it's better than depending on people that can and will fuck you over.
I've been through some hideous things myself, the idea of putting my life at the mercy of a man terrified me too much to rely on one.
Or you could just forgive him, be taken care of until he's sick of you,dumps you, maybe cheats even, since he doesn't mind lusting after other women anyway. Deal with him jerking off to porn because he knows he's got you stuck while he becomes numb and needs nastier shit to get off. I'm sorry anon, I really am but it's a gross ugly world and you can only rely on yourself. Hopefully you get out of there and eventually have your own place and own money, never having to settle. First step is to talk to disability services and see what getting off of disability and into a trade/training/education or job can happen. The other anon who suggested squirreling away money from him, yeah that's a great way to make him feel like he's the victim, being used for money in his sick moid head. Terrible idea, nothing worse than a moid knowing you're trying to use HIS money to leave him, I highly suggest not escalating things like that because then he can just say "get your shit and get out" or other typical male vindictiveness. It might even be best to go stay with family and start over.

Who cares. Not her problem. I don’t think he’s the master manipulator the other anons are trying to make him out to be. He’s a 20-some year old guy who’s going to therapy because his gf dumped him, he’s not that scary. She absolutely should take his money.

These are the most reasonable replies yet in my opinion. I agree that you need to take advantage of the safety net that you have while building up the resources and resilience that will allow you to leave and live your own life. I also agree that he's almost certainly not some complete monster even though the situation led to you being dependent and vulnerable. I'm not sure how long you can get away with withdrawing $500 a week, but I don't have any better ideas. But either way, you need to face reality, accept that your situation is untenable in the long term, and start working toward a solution. It would be really easy to put off doing the hard work of trying to develop the social skills to deal with holding a normal job since there is no real urgency (he's not threatening to kick you out tomorrow or anything), but it will be the best thing you could possibly do for yourself to be proactive and start getting your life in order now.

How important is a man's career to you guys? How much should he be expected to contribute financially? The guy I'm talking to is pursuing a difficult and "noble" career path that doesn't have job security or guaranteed decent salaries (think public defenders or college professors). So he's neither lazy nor dumb but maybe too much of a bleeding heart. Would you guys see a future with a man who may expect you to go 50/50 (or more)? From what I can see, he does do chores.

Not really a financial concern because I can make my own money. Even if he makes a million dollars a year I would still loathe a man who wanted me to cook & clean for him.

There’s a reason women who primarily date for money go for techies and not medicals, because money made fast is easier spent. And by 50/50 I don’t know what you mean. Will you pay for his car? I would NEVER spend money on a man, as a rule. I would recommend keeping your finances separate if he’s going to be chronically poor.

i've been with my bf for nearly 5 years and dated women exclusively before meeting him. we had some rough patches brought on by a lack of communication and unwillingness to tell the other if something was wrong. our communication is a lot stronger now but sometimes it feels like it's actually bringing the relationship down.

i was sexually assaulted by a close male (mutual) friend about 2 years ago - long story short, it took speaking to a friend who was there that night to realise that i was raped and didn't just cheat (as i was unconscious for most of the night and didn't remember a thing), but i will absolutely take responsibility for flirting with him and kissing him prior to that night. no justifying it, i was looking for affection/attention/the feeling of being wanted that was lacking with my bf, but i know i should have communicated this better before even considering the alternative. we worked through this but i didn't open up about the realisation that it was rape until about 4 months ago, to which my bf didn't believe me at first and after a second discussion seemed weirdly relieved that it wasn't just cheating. somehow worse to me to think that he just considered it as 'my gf was assaulted but at least she didn't cheat!' and it really upset me.

i've withdrawn from a lot of physical contact, affection, sex etc. since then and i'm very aware of it. we talked about it the other night as our relationship before our conversation about the SA was very affectionate and loving, and i'm really trying harder to show him that i do love him. the issue for him seems to be mostly sex. sometimes it just feels like he wants it on his terms; my sex drive is virtually 0 since that SA conversation and whilst i really want to be enthusiastic about it, i remind myself that saying no is okay and i don't need a reason, but he only takes it as a flat 'no' and sometimes i think if i don't justify it with 'sorry, i've just had a long day at work' or 'not now, i'm cooking dinner' he'll be upset. i tried to initiate it the other night after finally gaining back some confidence but he declined because he needed to shower. i notice that a lot of his affection seems to be geared towards sex, like grabbing my ass or boobs, which is not unusual at all but it starts to feel transactional, like he only does it because he wants something from it.

i told him this, that i was struggling with my self-image and with the general idea that men just see women as a fuckable piece of meat, and he got upset and defensive. i've been working on giving him comfy massages in bed, more kisses, rubbing the back of his hand when we sit together on the sofa, etc. but he seems to just focus on touching my thighs or ass or something else. today he gave me a lift home from work and didn't even kiss or hug me, but because i was wearing a skirt with no tights, started caressing further and further up my thigh once we sat down, and it's just really got to me idk. i don't want to feel like we exist together as platonic roommates until he's horny, and i especially don't want to feel like the one day that i choose to wear a skirt in MONTHS is somehow 'inviting' his advances, because that's the same 'asking for it' mentality that i've tried so hard to get rid of but it feels especially shit when it starts being associated with your partner

i do love him and i appreciate him working harder to better our relationship in other areas. i told him that if the lack of sex was making him resentful towards our relationship, i would be fine with him seeking that out for himself, but he was upset and angry at the fact that i 'seemed completely detached from sex, and intimacy is what he wants' and yet we can't cuddle without it wanting to go somewhere so idk what to say really

Ime with what I call an asshole rather than using the narc label (ticked plenty of boxes but still?) Looking back, my once alright self esteem was low enough to stay but high enough that things got really ugly in the never ending butting of heads that created. I'd later go through lows and then half find my original spine again. It was a cycle but the low part of the cycle got lower and lower and it's slow work so you don't wake up and see it til you're fucked. Just when I found the most clarity I'd managed in a while and was about done.. he did cheat. Was shocked when I didn't fall apart at the news. He'd almost perfectly set up the reveal of his cheating to cause maximum damage, the day it was revealed, the way it was done. All like a carefully set stage for the most hurt. But too late. I didn't react much and that bothered HIM. I never thought I'd be semi relieved to be cheated on. It gave me a solid out and I could go rebuild what I'd lost. Shit was so bad that him cheating made me think oh fuck I'm free, I'm not 'to 'blame' for the break up and he won't chase me cos he has a new woman lined up. One that saw him as a good enough to nab from me. Him having a whole affair was so low down on the list of things I needed to gtfo and start recovering from. It was past due.

>he’s been subtly trying to chip away at my confidence for a while but because i have pretty good self esteem it doesn’t really work on me

Imo if you're only dating someone, not caught up in many trappings and you're contemplating 'are they a narc?' It's not a sign of good self esteem if you stay. Staying with someone you know is trying to break you down is 'it working on you' The number one thing outsiders always ask you afterwards is why tf did you stay past the point where you saw those first signs.

This isn't close to being a fulfilling relationship. Sounds like it hasn't been for over those 2 years. The added horror of having to deal with what happened to you and his 'phew' attitude to SA is the gravestone set on top of what should've probably ended more than 2 years ago.

Your own wellbeing after what happened to you is so much more important than holding onto a long sinking, never on the same page, always something lacking on some end relationship. It will serve you more long term to get out of this situation and let your head clear away from him and the dysfunctional push and pull you're in.

Yeah it is sickeningly common for women who have experienced sa or csa to have bfs who somehow think that it's a childish game. That if you're 'withholding' sex they're gonna withhold cuddles and any form of non sexual affection. That fucks you up. It digs the knife in deeper. Compounds your distrust. Certainly doesn't help your view of sex and men or what sex represents to you. Those men might as well go stand with the assaulters given how little they want to understand it and how much they add fuel to the fire. You're giving this man permission to sleep with others as a fix.. No man reacting the way he did to his partners SA needs to be near other women either. If he gives that little fucks about what happened to you, then nobody needs to be worried about his dick being seen to. More than anyone, you don't owe him massages and sweetness just to get his damaging bullshit in return.

Leave that scrote. Men are actual demons. “You HAVE to let me molest you, or else I won’t love you anymore.” They only trade their so called love, it’s never free. They’ve built a society where you’re separated from your birth parents after reaching adulthood and the only way to curb the loneliness in a socially acceptable way is by getting into relationships. They made it so you can’t have a family of your own without letting them subjugate your body and I want them all dead for it. They’re incapable of feeling true love.

So let's think about this. You said that his happy attitude toward your assault resulted in you withdrawing affection. You say giving him affection it's still a struggle to this day, indicating that you're still hurt by this attitude of his. You say you're the one trying to work on this and give him affection when he's the one who fucked up, and he's still denying you sweet affection while focusing on sex.
In my opinion, this relationship is poisoned in a way that can never be restored. He's revealed an unforgivable attitude and you can never un-learn that he is this type of man. Furthermore, it seems like you are playing a risky game by staying with him when you are very sensitive and vulnerable about the issue of sex and he is like a brick wall who is not changing or getting the message at all that he can't keep pressuring you and only focusing on sex and not affection. This provides the scene for you to be hurt very badly by his actions.
I hope you can get out of there.

For most moids, sex is the main point of a relationship. If a woman rejects sex for more than a couple months, they’ll almost always start seeking it elsewhere if they can. If not through cheating or using prostitutes, then using porn at the very least. Unfortunately this is just an uncomfortable truth about heterosexual relationships. Men in general are horny coomers and see sex as the be-all of a relationship. Yes they might also like romantic things, emotional intimacy, affection etc but unless sex also accompanies it, most of them are disinterested. I’m also like you and hate sex when it’s demanded or expected on the man’s terms: it always has to be on my terms otherwise I’m not interested. But the sad thing about your relationship is it seems like you don’t enjoy being around him and that he genuinely makes you uncomfortable, because he behaves quite rapily towards you and sulks when you won’t have sex with him: this is very unhealthy and reason to leave. It could also be that you simply don’t find him all that physically attractive and he doesn’t make you aroused: again, a lot of women put looks on the back burner when it comes to their moid and feel confused as to why they hate sex when the reality is they’re simply not attracted to their moid. You should break up and find someone else, you clearly aren’t compatible.

Wholeheartedly agree, speaking from experience. Nothing good comes from telling your Nigel you were raped/molested/abused/whatever. Don’t bother telling him. He wont understand and he doesn’t really care to try, to either.

At best he’ll resent you for not being a neurotypical brainless bimbo fuckdoll specimen of a woman with zero problems, and feel annoyed that he has to perform what he sees as emotional labor for you. At worst, he’ll actively fetishize it or weaponize your trauma and use it against you to traumatize you further.

I always found it interesting how men rant about how males should never show vulnerability with a woman. But that doesn’t make any sense because women are innately far more compassionate and empathetic than men are. If anything it’s women that should avoid showing vulnerability to men. Nothing men love more than women being hurt by them, womens self esteem being affected by them, women crying over them, and the satisfaction of knowing they traumatized women. Don’t vent your trauma to moids, you’re only arming them against you in the end.

I’ve been on three dates with a guy who is very in love with me. He takes me to boba dates and lunch. Always pays for everything. Took me to a romantic rose garden. Gifted me an expensive beauty item on our third date with our initials on it. Even brought food to my house when i was sick.
We have fun when we’re together, we talk a lot and laugh. But my issue is: I am not physically attracted to him. I agreed on the first date because he asked me in front of one of his friends, so i felt bad saying no. First date went well and i saw how much of a gentleman he is.
But at this point i feel like i’m using him because he’s always paying for food and offering more and more. But sometimes when he looks at me like he wants to kiss me i have to really hold back from making a disgusted face. He’s not ugly by any means, but i’m not attracted to him at all… i thought that i should hold onto him because he’s an angel and treats me like a queen, but i’ve read a few posts online of people saying that i’d be leading him on. Please give me your opinion nonas, do i stay or leave him?

Then don’t date him, simple as. It’s completely pointless to date someone who aren’t attracted to and only hurts yourself and them.

It saddens me that womens preferences are so trampled on and ignored that just the basic request of ‘I want to be attracted to my bf’ is made to seem like too much for us to ask.

Rest assured if he wasn’t attracted to you, he wouldn’t be giving you the time of day. Don’t be afraid to be shallow with moids, they’ll always be more shallow than you anyway.

Nonsense, he isn't entitled to a relationship with her just because she agreed to a couple of dates. He has't purchased her with food and gifts. Going on dates has always served the purpose of exploring if something more could work between two people and anon has discovered that no, this guy isn't right for her and she doesn't want something more. She doesn't have to tell him "I only agreed to that first date because you asked in front of your friends"

thank you nonas for the honesty. a lot of this is very similar to what my friends have told me, i don't believe my bf has genuine bad intentions but he's stuck with an immature coomer brain and doesn't realise how bad the transactional aspect of sex lately is making me feel. we do still cuddle so it's not like there's absolutely no affection until sex is wanted, and he's by no means a bad guy, which is why his reaction to my SA and telling him about my discomfort with sex was so upsetting and confusing because i don't want to believe that the person i love thinks like that

>>404433
i am still physically attracted to him, my sex drive isn't very high anyway so it's not like the desire is being focused elsewhere. sex was a little easier whilst i was still in therapy and unpacking everything that had happened but i can't afford it anymore so now i'm terrified kek

I once dated a moid I really should have liked on paper but for some reason he turned me off physically. I had sex with him once and regretted it so much I haven't done it since. I'm perma single now but I still never once thought 'I really should have stuck with him/I should try again with him', I've always been glad I cut it off immediately.

If he isn't capable of emotionally supporting her, isn't a good thing she finds out early on so she can leave? I always talk about the difficult things early on and dump his ass if he doesn't react appropriately. Men are absolutely awful at pretending to be empathetic or emotionally invested.

My ex seems like a covert narcissist, at least some behaviors are very similar. He ghosted me after finding a substitute. I actually had a chance to talk to her later. It's not that I found out something shocking, I suspected a lot of the things that turned out to be true, but it fucked me up that he suddenly seemed like a completely different person, and I realized how much he lied to me. He also completely devalued me and made up some bullshit to make me seem inadequate. It was also refreshing to get another perspective on his personality and behavior. I realized that my perception of reality wasn't warped after all, even in some little things. But he did manage to confuse me and make me doubt myself. I had a chance to talk with him, too, after many years, and his manipulative manner of communication was so evident.
In overall, he is like a big child. Likes to play the victim. Would admit his mistakes and misdeeds sometimes but it's always at least a little someone else's fault, too. If you're upset over something he said or done it upsets HIM. Doesn't think lying or concealing some shit is a crime, it's basically other people's problem that they want to know too much or find out things they don't like thus ruining their relationships with him. It also seems like he either doesn't really appreciate other people for who they really are (mostly cares about a fantasy version he created) or he just easily devalues them, but while everything's fine you're "soulmates". Bad at regulating his emotions, becomes easily upset over little things and it's very draining to deal with. And yeah, if he's unhappy for whatever reason or he's resentful over something you said or did, he will be nasty to you instead of talking about it like a normal person. Talking is tough in general with him.
So while there are surely some positive things (which usually make one stay), there are many sufficient downsides that will exhaust you more and more (and then you might be left with nothing). I'd say it's better not to get emotionally involved and try hard to be a bigger person or a savior even if this person is dear to you and you know they're unhappy/had unhappy childhood and so on. It's very unlikely you'll make them happy, but they will definitely suck some life out of you.

Has anyone else dated a former police officer? The man I'm dating now is all about his safety and it seems like he's anxious about numerous things in the relationship where he wants to take things slowly. He came over to my house for the first time the other night and we got to cuddle, talk about where things are going, and we also had sex. He decided to leave when it was near bedtime. I asked him if he wanted to stay, he said he really wants to, but doesn't want to push it even though I don't mind at all. The anxiety running through his mind will keep him from sleeping, even though the reality is that I'd be happy for him to stay over. He said it was already a lot for him to come over to my house for the first time, on top of it being a bit short notice. Maybe his career is irrelevant, but this man is anxious.

My ex was a confirmed covert narcissist. These people are a lot harder to spot than overt narcs but here’s some behaviors he would do

>would act tough and be an edgelord/didn’t care about other peoples problems or have empathy for others (except sometimes fake performative empathy in social situations)

>but was hypersensitive about his own issues and would cry at the drop of the hat if anyone even used the wrong tone with him
>was incredibly passive aggressive, stonewalled constantly, used silent treatment and ignoring you as ‘punishment’ could be extremely mean but not in a way you could ever directly identify or confront him about (and if you did you were ‘crazy’ and ‘imagining things’)
>completely wrapped up in himself, zero time for anyone else’s feelings or needs, every tiny insignificant problem in his life was a mountain and the most important thing in the entire world
>would withdraw randomly and ghost then come back and act like nothing had happened
>would shut down completely if you confronted him about anything bad he had done
>would DARVO constantly, no matter what he had done, you would always be the REAL offender and he was the victim
>would leave during conversations claiming that you were being abusive, even if you never raised your voice at him or acted abusive at all
>extreme lovebombing then suddenly withdrawing all affection and love
>would claim that the reason he ‘had to do this’ was because you had hurt him
>very unforgiving in general, constantly resentful and bitching about everyone in his life, even people in his family who gave him pretty much everything emotionally, financially and everything else
>constant false promises with zero intention of ever keeping
>negging your appearance and comparing you to other women constantly
>would check out, mention other women or compliment other women in front of you, would try to observe your reaction and see if he could make you jealous and would become visibly elated when you were
>was a cheater while constantly accusing you of cheating
>dumped/ghosted you out of nowhere one day, always a sign they’ve found a new source of supply (I had suspected he was cheating for months but he always denied it and tried to claim I was projecting, found out he had indeed been cheating with a new coworker of his)
>devalues you, their old supply, while idealizing their new supply (he dumped her after 6 months too)
>no one is ever good enough for him no matter how much of a loser he is
>extremely unrealistically high standards for other people while being a gross slob himself

No. 404960

One of the most obvious signs of a narc imo is how much contempt they have for others. They can never really hide this.
They’re the kind of people who are always arguing online and leaving mean comments for no reason, bullying people for no reason other than to make them feel shitty, shit-talking others who’ve never even done them any personal harm, constantly talking about how much they hate x person or x thing, and they usually just generally have a default negative opinion of anyone they meet. The only time their opinion of someone becomes positive is if that person gives them something: be it money, sex, a promotion or whatever. And even after they’ve got the thing, they’ll still often chew that person out and be mean about them.

If I mentioned anyone at all, or the topic of any particular person or thing came up randomly, his default opinion of them was always something negative and he would almost always bitch them out. There are very few things and people that narcs like, and the things they do like are usually only self serving and degenerate interests, and the people they like are only ever people who give them what they want without ever asking for anything in return.

My moid screamed at me and started throwing stuff (when I was out of the room) over a minor disagreement so I packed my bags and left that same night. Told him I'd be staying at my parents' house for a while and that he needed to get help ASAP or I wouldn't be coming back. He's one of those people who can't/won't express the things that really bother him (work stress, deep-seated feelings of inadequacy, anxiety) and instead gets frustrated at minor shit like hobby-projects and bad drivers so I'm used to him being fussy about minor shit (wow, typing that out sounds horrible), but that was the first time I'd ever seen him overreact like that and I really don't like that it was directed at me. He knows he fucked up and he already apologized several times, but I'm not buying it until I have proof he's really doing something about it like regularly seeing a counselor/therapist. Has anyone ever been in a situation like this and been able to recover the relationship?

I have not been to his house yet. It's in the countryside. I've externally confirmed he does live with family members and one of them is a toddler so I can only assume his sister in law wouldn't want strangers who aren't family around. I've been more pushy with inviting myself over since his anxiety makes him hesitate too much and he doesn't want himself to become a burden.
I'm getting more to the point of being overwhelming and saying I need to see him and have him call me. Our work schedules are opposites at the moment and sometimes he does work 13-14 hour days and his nephew often interrupts his sleep.

No. Don't tell him you internet-stalk him that makes normal people freak out.
In the first place, if he cared that you were bothered he'd spend the fucking night with you which you have surely asked him to do, right? So telling him you're also anxious will not move his heart since he's already putting his anxiety ahead of your needs and your relationship. Telling him exactly how you're anxious and spiraling will just be exposing yourself and your vulnerabilities to a man who won't do the same. Never do that.
Ask him directly for what you want and if he won't do it, leave him.

The red flags are there irl. Being the at a distance woman who he fucks in hotels or fucks (at yours) and then 'anxiously' leaves afterwards is enough to question. Don't tell him about the online checking because it doesn't help your point but you've reason enough to wonder whether you're just some out of town sex option.

Honestly next time she sleeps with him and he leaves she should just ask him dryly where's he's in such a hurry to be? gotta get back to his other family?
She obviously doesn't think it's funny so she would never do that but he deserves some jabs for his behavior. maybe I'm just a bitch but even trying to see it from his side (even though I think he's full of shit, but for a thought experiment let's say he's "anxious") he can't possibly be surprised if acting like he is costs him his relationship. he needs to get his shit together. she can't keep going along with this.

Anon that's a very bad idea. That would be too intense even for a normal person. How long you been together? If he doesn't have another relationship and he's not only interested in sex, he might be kind of avoidant/emotionally distant or have trust issues or something. I would probably stop having sex with him, not as a punishment - it's ok not to want sex for various reasons - and see if he's still interested in spending time with you.

He has never shown them before but he sure has now, so it doesn't matter how he's "usually" pleasant and such a catch. Really think on this relationship because men's outbursts shouldn't be taken lightly. The tard became testerical over a minor argument. Let that sink in.

There's no way you can make this guy act better, he's defective just for the fact that he lets you baby him and take care of him. It's unnatural.

As much as they claim to love a woman men aren’t capable of loyalty to one woman or genuine monogamy where they never look at or desire other women sexually and romantically. Male ‘love’ is meaningless and isnt worth shit imo. Also I don’t believe any men are capable of it now thanks to internet and porn frying their brains and bonding abilities. Same with romance, ‘romance’ is mostly just incels trying to manipulate Stacy into having sex with them through paypigging and emotional blackmail. Only women can love imo.

So. My bf cheated on me and dumped me extremely brutally over text. A 3 year long relationship down the drain. The worst part is his new gf is literally stalking me and watches all my posts and socials like a hawk. Like she literally found my tumblr account from reverse searching something I posted on Facebook. She’s absolutely nuts.

Now she’s started skinwalking me, copying the way I dress and pretending to be interested in the stuff I’m interested. Like really obscure artists, music etc that she found through my blog. I don’t actually really give a fuck about her or my ex as people but what’s annoying is that I am now associating the stuff I love with her/them because she’s basically skinwalking everything that I’m into now and sharing it to her normie ass friends as if she always liked it. I’ve had to stop consuming my favorite content because I remember she’s skinwalking it now and I get reminded of how bad they both betrayed me and messed up my mental health for a few months. I can’t even look at art from my favorite artists anymore without thinking of her/them and getting enraged. How do I stop getting these negative associations and reclaim the stuff I like for myself?

To be honest, I don't think many people in general are capable of this idealized devoted kind of love where they won't even think about someone else and are always equally attracted to their partner (and it's normal imo, your choices and actions are more important). I just think it's much more normalized for men to cheat and ogle other women, and some women are taught to be "wise" about it or feel like they have to prove how open-minded they are (often because they're gaslighted into doing so) while there certainly are higher expectations for women's loyalty. Plus it's easier for men to cheat when they work and spend time outside of home and women look after kids. Women being more responsible, principled or dutiful doesn't necessarily mean they "truly love" imo because the motivation behind it might not have anything to do with men they date/live with. I know some women that seem to be not capable of (deep) love at all, women that sabotaged their relationships due to personal issues with intimacy and/or fear of commitment, women that cheated but decided to stay with their husbands because of stability and familiarity (even if it's boring and depressing) and fear of change and negative reaction from close circle of people (like grown-up children). But I do think that women on average are more interested in their partners as people and are more capable to love them as people outside of romantical/sexual context whereas men are more likely to date/marry for convenience and other benefits and won't even be able to accurately describe their woman's personality aside from the most obvious things and "what she's doing for me that I like/what annoys me the most".

You are so smart and I'm proud of you for being brave enough to actually decisively end it. Not to sound tradwifey but unless the "bf of 10 years" thing is because you personally are deeply opposed to marriage, I really do think that's another red flag. I'm not super strict about this, I think even 5 years isn't too bad, but if you've been together for a decade and he hasn't proposed or moved toward the commitment of marriage, it is probably a sign he's not actually committed, which fits with the story of someone in love with his best female friend.

This is true but the stuff about men being able to separate sex and love isn’t really that true ime.

I know a lady who got cancer and had to get a double mascetomy. She was embarrassed by her body and didn’t want to have sex anymore, so told her husband he could get his sexual needs elsewhere, as long as he kept it purely sexual and didn’t develop emotional intimacy with any of the women. Low and behold, after having a couple sexual affairs he ended up leaving her for another woman that he’d fallen in love with after screwing a few times. There’s a lot of other cases where women who are married to high status men like rockstars, politicians, millionaires etc also try to set up a similar open relationship dynamic and end up being left and cucked emotionally, not just sexually.

Point is, pickmes never thrive and moids arent anywhere near as stoic or logical as they like to pretend they are. They catch feelings easily too.

Why? He lacks self-awareness or brain to realize you're just mirroring his behavior because you got sick of it, and the solution is pretty simple and obvious: to change it and start putting effort. God forbid he puts some mental effort and reflects a little on your relationship: now you need to tell him exactly what you need. Everything was great! (for him) so it's just so unexpected and he's so upset and confused. It's going to be like that forever.
I might be wrong, and I'm not defending him, but you didn't mention trying to talk to him about these issues previously, so if you don't start communicating your needs and complaints and/or show your negative emotions not in a passive aggressive way, it can become a recurring problem in your relationships.

These nonas are right. Playing this passive aggressive game does show that you’re matching his energy, which makes sense if he is constantly dull and doesn’t return anything you give him. But he clearly seems to notice an issue now. So you should either break up without a word if you’re done 100%, or you confront it by outright saying that you’ve toned down your behavior because he doesn’t reciprocate or initiate anything that you were attempting before. It’s unhealthy and a waste of energy to prolong the game out of spite.

One is a good guy, he is very caring, he’s not a degenerate at all, like a rare one, I could trust him with my life, but the problem is I’m not attracted to him at all. He’s pretty ugly. Like the idea of having sex with him physically repulses me. The other guy is also nice guy, but sexually he’s also kind of a degenerate and some of the stuff he says grosses me out at times. I’m very heavily physically attracted to him even though he isn’t conventionally attractive.

a relationship with a guy youre not attracted to is never going to work no matter how well your personalities mesh, speaking from experience. you will be lying to yourself and him and eventually the emotional labor of pretending to be attracted to someone you’re not physically interested in will exhaust you and you’ll become resentful and likely to cheat which will hurt him.

go with the guy you’re attracted to but keep your options open for someone better who is hopefully not a degen but you can still feel attracted to.

if he’s really a degenerate like you say then you shouldn’t be marrying him or ever thinking of starting a family etc with him, make sure you double up on birth control, do not get pregnant whatever happens. and remember to keep it casual and just for fun, until you meet a better man.

I was living with a guy before I was treated to the knowledge that this bs is in his repertoire. It wasn't even some shit like ignoring messages. In person, sharing a small apartment, days of silent treatment over shit that really shouldn't be that serious. He waited that long to start doing it but once it started it just kept happening for smaller and smaller reasons?? Over such small things it was insanity. I'd never dealt with anything like it. I knew it wasn't normal. But people who do that shit seem real confident that you'll endure it and then cling on gratefully afterwards rather than be like.. fuck this I'm out. Enough rounds of it and I was out. If I acted indifferent or unaffected he just dragged it out longer. But he also acted like attempts to talk were an offense too. You can't win. I really think they want to create a sense of desperation in you.

My bf seems into shallow things and would leave me if he could. he reminds me of that Twitter post of moids admitting they'd leave their gf once they're successful. he followed raunchy IG "models" until I told him to stop. I asked him if he would date any of those onlyfans girls he followed and he said no because they're high value women. it hurt when he once told me I'm not conventionally attractive or model pretty bc I don't have lots of IG followers but claimed he thinks I'm a 10. he seems weridly obsessed with these influencer women's lives and would randomly mention wanting to be rich when viewing their stories. he also praises rich moids who look like they're dating their granddaughter. I asked him and he answered how he'd find me more attractive if I were rich, famous, or a model. he got weirdly excited and impressed about some girl he knew being a model in a commercial and sent me her post. it sucks because idc about any of that stuff. the worst part is he does literally nothing to make himself rich besides working towards a degree and he comes from a decently well off family. my friends and family told me they think he's ugly and he's randomly complained about how guys like him get no play. I think I'm the only girl who's liked him back. he said he wants to build a life and family but I feel like the moment he becomes rich or super hot he'd just forget about my existence lol. I think I'm going to leave once I'm financially stable enough.

Your bf sounds like a shameless narc.

Also letting your bf neg you like that and talk about onlyfans whores and ig models with you is peak cuckquean behavior. Get some fucking self esteem and stop being this scrote’s doormat.

My girlfriend is demanding I give her the passwords to my social media account. I brought it up as a one off joke only for her to be complete serious about it. When I implied to her that I’m not doing that she immediately got pissed at me and stopped talking to me. I feel bad. But at the same time I value my privacy. I have talked about her to my other friends but I was asking for advice on how to deal with her because she has bpd and my friends have bpd. I’m scared of her seeing those messages and flipping out on me as she’s done it many times already and we’ve only been dating for a month.

Is there something that makes it unsafe, like is she gonna poison your pets if you say something cringe in a DM? (If that's the case you should break up anyway.)

Is my bf making me miserable good enough reason to break up? He’s okay sometimes but generally just quite thoughtless, inconsiderate and somewhat retarded, there’s a bunch of small things he does that annoy and hurt me and it all adds up to make me permanently annoyed or mad at him. I feel worse when I spend time with him and he always says or does something that pisses me off and doesn’t even realize or apologize for it. Sometimes I think ‘well he’s never done anything super bad’ but if he’s making me this annoyed so frequently I guess I should just break it off right?

My bf masturbates to other women and it’s completely destroying my self esteem. He promised me he’d stopped looking at porn as soon as we started dating and claimed he hates it and wanted to stop anyway, and our sex life was going well, but he logged into his youtube account on my laptop a while ago so his Google account was linked and I can see his history. He’s been searching for onlyfans chicks again and watching a bunch of porn videos, even downloaded some it seems. He would always say one or two particular famous e-whores and certain women with specific aesthetics are ‘so disgusting’ but I saw that he’d searched for their porn too. This happened before too, with Belle Delphine porn. At this point it’s like anytime he mentions a woman he dislikes or is disgusted by it actually means he’s obsessed and masturbates to her.
I’m so mad at him I can barely stand to be in the same vicinity right now. When he smiles and acts like nothing is wrong and says his little ‘Hi babe’ like he doesn’t know I know what he’s been doing I want to knock his block off. I made up something about having a migraine and how I can’t see him for a few days but the truth is I’m hurt and disgusted I can’t even look at him. Sometimes I think he’s almost doing it intentionally to neg me? It sucks because he’s sweet and a good bf in other ways but I don’t even want him to touch me or look at me when I know he’s been masturbating to other girls. I know almost all men are like this, so it sucks knowing even if I break up I won’t find someone better.

I think any moid with any kind of parasocial relationship with any kind of e-girl should be left to their devices and helped to die alone, personally.

If he’s searching up specific women on onlyfans then he’s truly too far gone, unsalvageable really. And he admitted he watched porn long term before meeting you? Let me guess, since he was pubescent or even before? There’s no helping these kinds of moids. Their brains are literal mush and they will never stop relapsing no matter how many times they promise they don’t jack off. The more you confront him about it the sneakier and more cunning he will get about hiding it from you and making sure not to let you know.

Please break up with him as soon as possible. I promise you being alone is better than being with a man who constantly makes you feel inadequate, insecure and bitter. And I’m not even saying this as an anti porn radfem. You can look on reddit and twitter and see countless normie women whose lives are devastated by their bfs porn addiction. He will take years off your life if you let him, so don’t. Get rid of that dead weight before he knocks you up.

I’ll bet he knows that he’s hurting your self esteem but he just doesn’t care. He wants you to hate yourself enough to stay with him and tolerate all his garbage. He thinks by making you compare yourself to other women he’ll make you desperate enough to try harder to compete for his attention and cater to his sexual demands. Don’t take the fucking bait. If he’s choosing porn, leave and let him have his porn. He doesn’t deserve you being there for him too.

Every time I date a moid I feel like there's something just… missing. I've never really had a healthy relationship with men because they've done some awful, vile things to me so my attraction to them is complicated.
It doesn't feel like a sexuality issue so much as it is a trauma issue. I do and have dated women, but it's never gotten to the point where "i love you" was thrown around.
My current boyfriend really, really loves me. Like he's obsessed, he thinks I'm cool and interesting and hangs onto my every word. He's a bit of a doormat which is kind of off putting, but overall he treats me quite well. But I just…. don't have much of an interest in him. It feels like I don't have an interest in aspects of romantic partnership in general. I'd rather spend my time alone, or with my (exclusively women) friends. If I didn't have my boyfriend, the only men I'd ever interact with would be mild work acquaintances I see twice a week and I love it. I'm so separate from men and male culture and it's great. I love women, I love being around them and I think because my boyfriend is so separate from that I feel so alien from him. And in realising that recently it put to words what I've felt with every man I've dated. I just feel so different from them, they never seem to fundamentally understand me. My boyfriend tries, which is a first, but there's such a disconnection between us.
I'm so sexually dysfunctional from my previous experiences so it's hard to tell if I'm not attracted to him. We had a lot of sex when we first started dating because I felt free and uninhibited, but now that we're closer I just don't want to be touched, which has been the case with every man I've dated after "the big one" (i.e. man I thought I was going to marry but turned out to be very abusive).

I don't know what's wrong with me. I want to be alone, but I don't know if I should trust that I really want that, or if I'm just pushing something good away because it's easier. It's all a bit complicated, and I guess I just needed to vent.

Are you looking for marriage eventually? This won’t change. I’ve gone through divorce over this and a million breakups with several bfs. Now I’m finally with a man who prioritizes our bond through sex instead of watching strangers fuck on tape. We are married. He even uses a flip phone to avoid the traps of modern evils. Nothing worse than being with a porn addict whose primary sexuality is pornography rather than preferring sex and bonding with a female partner. Don’t waste your youth on them like I did they don’t change because they don’t even want to change. They will even psyop you into believing that they want to change while still allowing themselves access to personal computers and smart phones. They think it’s such a fun game fooling you like that. Men who are honest with themselves about the hold modern technology has on their psyches will be low-tech in their lifestyle choices. They also have sex way differently, it’s actually good sex and their dicks actually work properly like they are supposed to. Porn sick dick and pornsick sex is something you should never even have to THINK about. Run girl run. It’s so easy to find another man don’t waste your time on this one and don’t waste your time on the next one if he tries to play a similar silly game with you because chances are he will. Just keep chucking the dudes into the bin until you find a worthwhile one. It takes a lot of time and effort but if marriage and partnership with a moid is important to you it’s just what must be done. Men are not meant to be fixed they are meant to be found and thrown away if there is something wrong with them. They are supposed to make your life easier and more comfortable not a more difficult hellscape. We already deal with so much as women don’t accept this in your personal life fuuuuuck that noise girl. Don’t worry you can and will love again. Don’t be afraid of change, embrace it.

As you should. It's not only yours but your friends' too. It's annoying as fuck when you learn that someone read messages you sent to your friend, because they and your friend ~trust each other~. And it's seriously not healthy when someone thinks they just HAVE to know what you're talking about with other people. Doesn't matter if you have something to hide or not, it's controlling behavior, and if someone is so anxious and distrustful by default it's their problem and they should learn to regulate that shit or stay single. You don't have to prove you didn't do something that another person's fantasized.

>>405952
I can relate to your dilemma. I ended up breaking up with the "good guy" for another reason and I don't regret it. Been single for a couple of years and I'm super comfortable. Looking back, he wasn't that "good" and not the great match in general, he was better than my previous ex for sure and it was a very peaceful relationship with some good memories and without horrible ones, but it was frustrating and frankly quite boring at times (and not because of a lack of drama or something).
This
>he's obsessed, hangs onto my every word
>a bit of a doormat which is kind of off putting
is not a good thing and honestly I don't think it's real love necessarily. He's probably just a codependent guy so it's partially not about you (although he's surely strongly attracted to you). If it's first 1.5 years or so this might later change to apathy even. If he wants sex and you don't it will likely become a reason for his frustration (even if he won't demand anything) and you might feel guilty for it deep inside, which will only make everything worse. Since you already feel like you don't have much interest in him, it won't get better. I understand your doubts, it does seem like you have problems with intimacy, trust, it's understandable given your past experience. But it doesn't seem like it's the only reason you don't want to be with him. Maybe he's just not the right person for you. I'd recommend not waiting till it becomes sunk cost fallacy.

Honestly some of the best advice I’ve seen on this board. You do not owe men shit.

The reason any woman stays with a shitty scrote is a scarcity mindset aka thinking that they won’t be able to find a new Nigel or new love. This is absolute bollocks. There’s ALWAYS more men nonas. Always. Also, we have basically infinite supply of oxytocin, so we can keep falling in love over and over again, just as intensely. Men are the ones who get buckbroken by love.

Scrotes know they are expendable so their only option is to neg you and keep your self esteem down as well as dreadgaming you aka ‘You’ll never find another guy’ ‘You’re getting too old now, you’ll need to settle for me before it’s too late’ ‘I’m your only option’ etc etc. It’s BULLSHIT. There are more single men than ever. It’s easier than ever to get a bf. My grandma got a fucking boyfriend in her 90s kek.

Also OP don’t tell him why you dumped him or mention you found out about him using porn. It will only help him become sneakier in the future for the next girl. Help a sister out and never explain the reason when you dump moids. Coomers should wear their degenerate tendencies shamelessly and out in the open so more women can avoid them.

No. 406045

>coomers should wear their degenerate tendencies shamelessly
Thankfully most of them do. Porn addiction is strongly related to mild mental retardation. You’ll notice that furries, coomers, gooners, pedos and all kinds of other degenerates are usually very shameless and brazen about their fetishes, they have no self awareness and are usually on the retard spectrum. When you go on porn subs you realize most of the commenters are severely autistic, ADHD or have some other moidbrain retardation syndrome.

Occasionally you do get smarter ones who are sneaker and learn to conceal their true tendencies. I’m not sure which kind is more dangerous tbh.

It doesn't mean you have to I guess, but know that your reasons for not wanting to get married and a moid will never be the same. A moid who wants you will want to put a ring on you to make sure nobody else gets the chance. Thats why men will date women for 10 plus years for convenience and not want to get married, yet break up and marry the next girl he views as his prize within months. Even if you don't want to get married, you should make sure your moid will want to marry you

This. A man's 'commitment' is worthless, and the more women who idolize it and see it as something to be attained in life, the more it creates a sense of artificial value for scrotes. Scroteflation.

Men already know theyre inherently biologically worthless and expendable and that women dont need them, its why they literally have to go to warzones and 3rd world countries and bribe women to be their wife.

I was gone for two whole weeks for a conference and get home tonight. My boyfriend is picking me up from the airport and I assumed we were going to hang out tonight, but he informed me that he agreed to play videogames with his friends all evening long. I told him how much this hurt my feelings (because I've been gone for TWO WEEKS and I thought he'd want to hang out, make love, and just catch up), but he said that he wanted to "be dependable to his friends" because he already agreed to play with them. (He's filling in for someone who usually plays in that group, and they need a certain amount of people). We'll still get to hang out for like 3-4 hours before he plays games, but I'm really hurt and offended because I missed him a lot and figured he'd want to spend the whole evening with me. He promised that we'll hang out all day Sunday but idk, I wanted him to be so excited to see me that he wanted to spend the whole first evening together. Am I overreacting?

No, that's weird of him and springing that on you the day you come back is also irresponsible.

Last night I asked him what he’s looking for and he said he wants something serious. I said the same, and then he asks if I want kids. I’m way too young for kids but I said I want them someday, but not until I’m married. He nods and says that his mother told him to never get married.
That was a big turnoff for me, even though I’m not thinking about marriage or kids right now, it makes me nervous to date a guy that doesn’t take marriage seriously, even if he got me pregnant. The life of an unwed mother is not what I imagine for myself and I want to do everything in my power to avoid it.
I think I’d be playing with fire to keep seeing him and want to cut it off, but my friends think he’s a sweetheart and should give him some more time, especially since I’m not thinking of marrying him in the first place. My mom even suggested that I stick it out and try and convince him about marriage. I think it would be a waste of my time to get deeply involved with someone who feels differently about marriage to me, but are my friends and mom right? Does it really matter if I’m not even looking to get married right now?

You're not ready right now but getting a relationship to the point where marriage is on the table takes a few years too. If you stay with this guy you're spending time on a guy who's ultimately a dead-end for your goal (assuming he doesn't change his mind) when you could be building towards marriage with a guy who has the same goal in mind so you can hopefully get married by time you are actually ready for it.

>He nods and says that his mother told him to never get married.

That said, this sounds deflecting to me, is it possible he's just unsure about marriage or doesn't see future with you and used his mom as an excuse?

Because it’s what I want for myself and that’s reason enough. It’s insane to me that some people think that having a baby with someone is chill but marriage is too big a commitment. I wouldn’t have even brought it up if he hadn’t asked if I wanted kids

In some countries, not getting married means you'll lose benefits and have less financial security. I don't encourage women to get married in general, but if you're going to invest in a scrote enough to have his kids, it's stupid not to acquire the legal status that marriage gets you.

I'm surprised everyone in your post including you is focused solely on the marriage part but not on the mother part - doesn't it sound like he's a mama's boy? If it's serious, his mom must be overbearing and jealous of his relationships with other women, and you'll have to deal with her attitude. He's probably easily influenced by her, might be emotionally dependent on her: it will affect your relationship. He might have weird dynamic with her, not normal for a grown-up son and his mother, you'll find it off-putting (especially if he starts acting like a little boy with you, too). Will probably talk with her on the phone for at least an hour very often, prioritize her in his plans or want you to spend time with her/his parents more often than normal. If she's anxious type, you'll find out he's anxious with OCD habits, too, might be pretty bad at regulating negative thoughts and moods, you can be sure it will affect you in the future.

You should just keep talking to him about it. This is good practice for figuring out what you need from a relationship. You seem to like him and you don't want to marry him anyway, presumably because you are too young. The thing he said about his mom is hilarious, I'm with >>406402 she sounds like a boymom, it's so cringe he said that

No. 406406

You should take this more seriously because there's always a chance of you becoming pregnant. Yeah, sure, some will say you can mess around with him but that's what so many women think before they end up single mothers. If he's not good enough to be the father of your future child don't let him anywhere near you. He sounds like he's incapable of taking responsibility in his relationships and he's way too codependent on his mother. Run.

You're only a few weeks in. I would dip if that's what you're already thinking and not let friends or family sell you the usual 'stick it out' or 'you can totally change him' type lines.

It can only mean it's more convenient for her. It's either an emotional incest thing and she can't let him go or she's so miserable she doesn't want to see him happy - without her and where she herself failed to achieve happiness. It'd remind her of that and show that the marriage itself is not a problem but her attitude/mindset/fears are and she basically chose to be unhappy. I see some parents trying to sabotage their children in a similar way when it comes to hobbies, work, etc.

They'll enjoy the grandkids some woman helps them get but forever be in their sons ear saying that women are out to use him. It's just boymom/boydad shit.

Most men are flaky and have low emotional intelligence. Has nothing to do with you, don't take it personality. He's just showing you he isn't as great as you thought he was. When a guy starts being emotionally distant with you you should be losing interest, not blaming yourself.

Don't get attached to and idealize someone after chatting for a week and never meeting irl. I don't want to be mean, but if you feel genuinely upset about this, maybe you should work on yourself first before you try to date anyone. You sound a little desperate for connection and obviously have low self esteem, and this will either chase men off, or invite shitty narcs to use and abuse you.
Also, (assuming you met him through online dating) he should be trying to set up a date with a concrete time and place after 3 or so days of talking. If he isn't, then you're penpals who will likely never meet up because he's only keeping you around in case his main gig doesn't work out. If a moid likes you enough to see a potential future with you, he'll do everything in his power to meet up with you asap. If he's fine with waiting around for weeks on end, he isn't worried about another guy snatching you up in the meantime.
If he DID set up a date with a time and place and it's in the next couple of days, he might just want to save further conversation for when you talk irl. But even then, don't get your hopes up too much. He's a complete stranger. For all you know, he doesn't wipe his ass after taking a shit.

Fuck I know this but I just want to cry because I feel like the universe is set up against me. I'm convinced he's talking with other prettier/hotter girls on the side that's why he suddenly lost interest on me. I know it's dumb to cry over someone you've known only for a week but he was totally my type physically and it's very rare for me to find someone like that. This always happens, I'm always the throaway side chick, the 2nd or 3rd option to boys I actually like.

Where did you meet him? If it was on a dating app/imageboard/penpal site etc then there’s a good chance he added multiple girls and is just a fuckboy type.

Honestly I think you’re idealizing this moid way too much simply because you’ve projected your emotions for that former crush onto him. You were only talking a week, you didn’t really know him, he was probably a massive shitbag in reality. And the fact he’s just disappeared because he found a girl who was more willing to send him nudes proves it.

So I recently got a fwb and I stupidly told him one of my fantasies was to make a video early on, before I knew things were just casual. Things became casual and I forgot I’d told him that, and he brought it up in middle of sex and I said ok. He used my phone. I didnt let him see it because i was self-conscious and later he messaged me wanting to see it but i was still self-conscious.

Later he brings it up again but i tell him I feel bad having done it with someone i'm not committed to and like i'm betraying my future husband. He says oh okay and to delete it then. I do so and then he tells me we shouln't hang out anymore. I dont ask why because i think it's not my place to request an explanation.

He tells me he appreciates me a lot, “more than you’ll know”. Calls me baby which he never had before. Requests to follow me on instagram.

Yes it was a dating app and I think you're right, idk what's wrong with me but I'm still attached to that former crush so when I saw him suddenly all my emotions came back.

How do you know if you've outgrown your boyfriend? inb4 "If you even need to ask, you've outgrown him." I've been in a relationship with this guy for about seven years and we've been friends for sixteen years total. We get along well, I care about him, he's crazy about me, but the older I get the less I seem to care about him and the more I realize that he just never learned how to adult. Some of that is his shitty parents not teaching him anything, but that stops being a good excuse sometime during your 20s and we are both in our early 30s.
It's a bunch of little things. Like he doesn't read the nutrition labels on food so completely ignores serving sizes and portions, I learned this the other day because he ate an entire (5 serving!!) can of baked beans and was confused as to why he felt bad! Thank god I live alone. I feel less productive when we spend time together, as his main two hobbies are vidya and tabletop rpgs. I like these things too but I can't spend all day gaming anymore. It just feels like I spend significantly more time teaching him than I do learning from him, and that's not a comfortable place for me to be in a relationship. I love teaching, but I need to be able to learn new things too or I feel stagnant. The whole thing feels like I'm helping him grow as a person, but he isn't helping me grow as a person. Is that just part and parcel for being with moids?

No. 406802

>>406797
Nona it sounds like you've probably changed as a person in the last seven years and your boyfriend has not (or if he has changed, he's not growing in a direction that is conducive to your growth). Knowing someone for many years comes with the idea that you are probably going to change in those years and the person you know is going to change too. I think the hope is that you both change in a direction that feels positive and fulfilling to you both, but as you observe, the reality is that sometimes that doesn't happen and as a result you feel that you've outgrown someone. Your boyfriend may still value spending his time playing vidya and tabletop games and he might not value learning "adult" skills. Meanwhile it seems that you value wanting to learn and grow and that you value those old hobbies less.

And as much as I enjoy shitting on moids, I do imagine that there are moids out there who do care about self-improvement or at least have values that are more aligned with the values you have now. I'm not saying you should break up with your boyfriend since that's your choice, but I don't think staying stagnant and having no skills to contribute to your personal growth is something that is just a natural characteristic of men.

It's an LDR, plz no bully. We've been friends for ages, so it just made sense. I also really like my privacy and had bad experiences living with men, so I'd probably still live alone even if he was local. Although the fact that he's wanted to live in my country since before we met but hasn't made any practical steps towards it (no passport, no savings, etc.) is not helping with my feeling like I've outgrown him.
>>406802
You're right. I've definitely changed since we first got together and hope to spend the next few years growing even more. It feels like the only times he's changed are because I have (he's no longer a TRA, spends less time online/stopped using social media, but these all started with me). He's slowly losing his interest in video games, he ate into one of our hangout days to watch a live direct and told me afterwards that he should have spent that time with me instead because the direct wasn't great. It felt like too little too late since our schedules were hectic and we hadn't spent much of that week together. I feel burned that he went to catch it live instead of spending time together and watching the video later.

I'll just tell you bluntly that you have outgrown him, yes. He's actively holding you back, sorry if that hurts to hear. If I wanted to armchair you I'd say you're actually self-sabotaging and clinging to an old more immature version of yourself by dating him because you subconsciously wanted to not have to grow up which is why you became more serious with him after years of friendship and a separate failed irl relationship that you are afraid of repeating.

So it sounds like he does have some motivation to change, but mostly only if you initiate it and he is not progressing at the same rate that you are. Neither of those things are objectively negative, but if they bother you then that's an important thing to consider. If you realize that you want a boyfriend who cares about self-improvement for his own sake (rather than because his partner is doing so) and is someone who is already in the phase of wanting to take action (rather than contemplating it, but not putting it into practice consistently) then that is pretty valuable. It makes sense that isn't something you would have considered a bunch in your 20s and now that you're older those things matter more. Hopefully he'll either wake up and want to work on himself or you find someone better and being single isn't so bad either…

Because when we first got together, I was a mega-autist womanchild in my early 20s who didn't mind a relationship where we mostly discussed hobbies and was content with the notion that he'd immigrate at his own pace.

He's less of an online weirdo and works a job and… that's kind of it. He didn't used to feel like a drag, and now he does.

Wow that's quite a statement. Has he told you that or is that just your intuition? I'm not saying you're wrong but the more mundane and probable explanation is he just started describing his life in a way that was more palatable to you since it's LDR and he can completely control the narrative. You don't really know what he does with his time, you only know what he tells you. It's a major drawback of a LDR.
Also… You've blatantly moved on from him emotionally? That's basically like saying it's over for a LDR.

It's completely normal to have outgrown a LDR that lasted 7 years, especially if the male hasnt matured or progressed in life at all.

Here's the problem: He does understand. If he was incapable of understanding, he would be too retarded to have sex or a relationship. He does understand, he's just choosing to pretend not to because you'll believe him if he says he can't. He's doing it on purpose. Couple's therapy has a slim chance of helping, but it's more likely that he'll just learn a bunch of therapy speak to justify his abuse and manipulate you. Scrotes like that just can't be fixed because they don't want to be better. He's a grown man, he knows what he's doing.
>I don't want a different partner but I don't want to go through this again
I know you don't want a different partner, but this kind of behavior doesn't change and often gets more extreme. He pressures you into sex now, what about when you're married and sharing a bed? Will he act the same if you're pregnant? Do you even want to find out? Hopefully no you don't. Whoever this guy is, he's not worth going through forced sex and he's not the prize. You're the prize and you deserve someone who treats you like it. A good man won't pressure you into sex and he won't play dumb re: decent human behaviors. This scrote ain't it.

He doesn’t respect your boundaries, and it’s not something you can fix or are obligated to forgive. He clearly has a fundamental issue with respect. Respectful people will usually be conscious of your body language and other subtle signs before needing direction or a warning from you. And one simple warning or gesture like “please don’t do x” or “let’s wait to do y” should be sufficient and enough for a caring person to understand. If he really cared for you he’d want you to be comfortable and happy, he wouldn’t want to put you through this stress and hopelessness. You’re just fixated on him because of ridiculous coping mechanisms like “I don’t want to be alone”, but you can exist without him and there are better people out there. You need to realize that he’s not worth the investment or forgiveness if he can’t learn to respect you after months of trying.

Exactly what the other replies said. He would have to be literally mentally retarded to not understand, it’s not a hard concept. He understands completely and he is lying to you. He does not love you or like you he wants to have you and it’s actually inconsequential to him that it’s unwanted by you as long as he can keep taking it. I know that is hard to accept especially since you took him back but you have to run not walk. Get away from him.

I don't know what to do. I've been with husband for a lot of years and our lives are completely entwined. Things are not getting better and he is not speaking to me now, and I'm dreading him coming home tonight because I know he's just going to make me feel like I'm being punished for daring to speak up to him last night about hurting my feelings. He's been coercing me into sex for a couple years and I finally snapped a few months ago and he let up, and because of that, he thinks that everything is fine and I should be happy. (I didn't realize it was coercion at first I just thought that is how men acted, but I did some reading online and realized the way I feel isn't normal, he would throw temper tantrums when I would say no etc. so that is when I finally confronted him about it). But he is constantly being mean, inconsiderate, and hurts my feelings. When I call him out, he loses it, like absolutely loses it with such a huge temper and breaks shit and screams at me and threatens all kinds of shit and then tells me it's my fault because I wouldn't shut up or leave him alone. Then it's my fault that I hurt his feelings by telling him he's being an asshole to me. When he gets like this, it's a couple days of him being upset then everything goes back to normal and he's completely fine, acts like nothing happened, and I don't bring it up anymore. I'm not able to talk to my own husband when I have a problem because he's a stupid fucking manchild that cannot take being criticized or hearing anything less than good about himself. I can't take it, but it would literally change every part of my life if I left him and he knows that. My job, our finances, all of our bills, pets, everything is tied up in our relationship. I know I'm stupid for letting it go on so long but I do love him and I thought he'd be better to me if I just kept stuff to myself better. I had sex with him Saturday, and all I did yesterday was tell him he hurt my feelings, and now it feels like my world is falling apart. I don't know what kind of advice I even need, I kind of just want to talk about it with other people.

This will be an unpopular thing for me to say because with guys like him there is so often a physically abusive angle that puts you in real danger (of bodily harm or death) but the fact that he actually backed off means there’s an opening for you because he thinks he’s still negotiating something. Take swift action in your own best interest as soon as humanly possible to preserve both your financial and physical security. Be selfish. Act fast. I don’t know how entwined you are / in what ways but if at all possible do everything you can to get yourself away from him while staying on top. Get a lawyer. He made himself an enemy.
There is a vanishing window of opportunity here before he turns dangerous where he thinks he still has you. I’m serious.

I highly recommend reading the book 'Why does he do that?' (every woman should read it tbh whether you're in an abusive relationship or not, there's free PDFs if you google it).

It won't really help you out of the situation in a practical sense but chances are it will validate your feelings and give you the confidence you need to know, 100%, that his behaviour is typical of escalating abuse and you're in trouble if you stay. Pic related is a list of questions to suggest he will become physically abusive and your description of him seems to match.

Nonna I'm >>407080 and I've spent the last two days crying because there's nothing I can do to change this man and I don't think the sexual coercion will ever stop. I know how you must feel, it's so heartbreaking to see the person you love do this to you, and you don't understand why they keep doing it and why they don't care if they supposedly love you.
Only advice I can give you is don't break up with him just yet if it's safe for you. I don't think you can fix this if he's also violent, so breaking up will probably be inevitable. But before you do, get your shit ready. Do what you need to do, sort out your life, your finances, whatever you need. But don't give into the coercion. Men are cowards so they won't leave a bad situation until you take the first step.
I previously broke up with my moid very suddenly and I ended up having to pick up after him, clean up his stuff from the apartment, and most importantly he owed me money. I couldn't do anything about this since we weren't together and he wasn't speaking to me.
After you're done, consider reporting him to the police. In some countries, sexual coercion counts as sexual harassment. I'm thinking about doing it once everything is done, so that he's less likely to do this to other women.

I had a parent who was like this. Narcissist through and through. Expected the rest of us to just magically go back to normal after their abusive behavior. This isn't normal, anon. He's grooming you into forgetting all his shitty past behavior. He wants you to basically become a robot.

I'm so sorry you're going through this too. It hurt so bad last night when I told him that he was being mean (not related to sex) and he immediately says "I thought everything was better, I haven't asked for sex in weeks". As though that just makes everything else okay and gives him the right to be shitty and abusive in other ways. Honestly, all of these problems started from sex. I had never seen him blow up from anger until I said no one too many times in a row (we have sex weekly, but he expects it daily) and I was terrified. Ever since then, his anger and temper are just getting worse and worse, and not even when it's about sex. A few weeks ago when I confronted him, I told him that I cannot be responsible for his sex drive all of the time and him constantly pressuring me only pushes me farther away. He literally tried to pressure me into sex right after we watched that Nickolodean documentary and it brought up some memories I had of being sexually assaulted as a teenager so I foolishly thought I could talk to him about that…What kind of person thinks that is okay? I don't know what to do. I am so sorry that you are in this position also. It's so hard because like you, I do love him but I also feel like I'm giving up so much of myself in this relationship now. I can't express myself, can't try and cuddle with him because then he gropes me for sex, can't talk to him about anything that isn't positive lest I set him off and cause a temper tantrum where he breaks the desk, kitchen table, or his phone. I would have never in a thousand years thought he was abusive until very recently, and it's so scary how someone I've known so intimately for literally all of my adult life can suddenly flip a switch and become someone I do not recognize. I have called my mom and I do plan on leaving at the very next instance of anger, because I truly am afraid and I have a pit in my stomach right now.

Thank you for this. I just burst out crying because it really does sound like him. I said it in another response but he kept this side of him hidden for so many years, and it's been a kind of sudden development. He was always so calm and relaxed, and now he is just so angry at the littlest thing, and his anger just keeps escalating. He has broken so many things in our home, and he hits himself and screams as loud as he can, and it just scares me that the next place he's going to lose his temper is onto me. But it's so tough to reconcile because this is not the person I married and knew for so many years. I thought maybe he was depressed because they say male depression comes out in anger but he refuses to go to therapy, and there isn't anything I can do to help him if he doesn't see the problem. It's just so scary because I don't know where this came from and I hate feeling like I have to be on eggshells around him 24/7.

Mine also thought not asking for weeks was the solution, instead of listening to me and just not coercing me. Our relationship was also great until I got sick and couldn't have daily sex anymore. I would have never thought he would betray and discard me like he did.
My dumbass moid once tried to initiate sex after watching the Epstein documentary. He has also tried to pressure me into sex after seeing me cry and suffer all day from my illness. I told him about my childhood sexual abuse too thinking it would help him understand why coercing me was not ok, and it did absolutely nothing lmao. That one actually surprised me. I don't understand how they can have so little empathy and awareness of other peoples' feelings. All men truly are the same and it's so depressing. I gave him permission to tell his friends about our issues and my extremely personal illness because I thought they would tell him it's not ok to coerce women, but they did the opposite. They told him it was normal, and then he tried to use that in an argument. At that point I flat out told him he disgusted me and from that point on I only referred to the friend that told him this as "the rapist" but even that didn't make him stop. This dumb motherfucker would tell me "but if you say my friend is a rapist, then I would be a rapist too", yeah no shit retard.
Leaving is going to suck and it's going to be so sad because you still love him and you think he can change. I hate that men are such sex pests and cannot think beyond their fucking dicks. I hope he regrets doing this to you for the rest of his life, I hope one day he wakes up and realizes he lost you and cries and regrets it until the day he dies bitter and alone.

You might love him but he doesnt love you. In fact, he hates you and only views you as a sex toy. Would you pressure someone you loved into sex while they were terrified? Would you break things and "fly into a rage"(its not real rage its pretend to scare you into doing what he wants, he is in full control the whole time) to get sex? No, because those are the behaviours of a man who absolutely despises you.

What are some subtler signs of bpd or any other similar disorder tbh in a moid? I'm beginning to think mine is showing behaviors that fit the description but all I find online is that bpdmoids are physically abusive drug addicts who lie constantly. Mine is nowhere near that bad, so it's hard to find examples to compare to. I want to know what the issue might be though so it doesn't feel like entering uncharted territory.

It's despair-inducing, isn't it? The other thought I had was just how low and even non-existant their empathy is. When nona mentioned how he would "pressure me into sex after seeing me cry and suffer all day from my illness," it angered me how moids can't imagine themselves in the plights that we face. They feel better after having sex and think sex is the correct answer to solve something, but they can't bother to compute the fact that women think differently and operate differently than them. I'm angry that he didn't extend some comforting words or held her without any sexual advances. Yet they think that at the end of day, sex is a given for them. How pathetic.

Sad truth is that a lot of men simply see their gfs as sex dispensers/cum receptacles and little more than that.

The chores women do, extra income she brings, affection she gives, the way she coddles him and supports his stupid decision making process etc are just bonuses, and men feel they 'put up with' their gfs emotions (gross) and shudder (god forbid), her personality too, in order to sustain their regular access to a warm hole.

Once the woman takes access to her holes away from her moid, watch how fast they turn. A lot of men would have absolutely no problem replacing their gf with a brainless insentient sexbot because sex is the only thing they really care about. It's also why men will throw meaningful deep emotional relationships and marriages of 10,20,30,40 years away for a fling with a silly young bimbo.

Gfs generally bring countless upsides for men, but bfs and husbands are generally dead weight and more trouble than they are worth, unless they're especially wealthy, generous, supportive etc, (which is the very rare exception to the rule).

i’m realizing i need to break up with my boyfriend right now (dating since november.) i’m scared of him, he’s been violent, he never has anything nice to say to me. he’s 30 years old, and he lied to me about his age and told me he was 25 at first. he calls me ugly and dumb, and tells me that he’s not attracted to me and is disgusted by my body because “i look like a little child” and it makes him feel pedophilic. i’m 19 . he bitched me out for my clothes over and over because he thinks i dress “really young, like 13” and “people will think im a pedophile if you don’t dress like you’re older.” i never dressed super childlike or anything, i always wore normal things like jeans and sweaters. he wouldn’t stop bringing up how much he hated my clothes until i bought more revealing dresses and etc. he tells me he won’t let me “waste my time” on making friends or signing up for volunteering/uni events i want to do, because “he should be the most important person in my life.” I JUST LEARNED HE HAS STALKING ALLEGATIONS FROM HIS EX, AND SHE FILED A POLICE REPORT BECAUSE HE SHOWED UP AT HER HOUSE AND HARASSED HER ONLINE. he lied to me a lot about this ex, and i had thought he was the one to break up with her. she was actually the one who left him. their breakup happened 3 months before i moved to this city. they only dated for 3 months too. he told me they were serious and long-term and made it sound like she was slightly less than his age. she’s only 19 this year so like 18 when they dated? someone finally told me this, and i’m chagrined. i had no idea. if i had known another woman was put in serious danger, i would never have made excuses for my own relationship as long as i did. i tried to break up with him before last month but it ended up with me apologizing to him, because he was acting like i was really hurting him. i’ve given up on talking to him about his behavior at this point. we do not live together, thank god. he kept pressuring me to try
to move in together asap, but i didn’t want to do it. i told him my parents wouldn’t approve of it. i live in university accommodations, so he can’t get into the building without a key card, but he can still wait for me outside on my street. i told my mom about my situation and other details i can’t post, and she also tells me to break up with him immediately. she’s scared for me. my family lives 12 hours away. there is no help. i don’t have any friends in this city who didn’t either meet us as a couple, or were his friends first. he has his own friends he knew before me, but i don’t. i’m retarded and i didn’t spend so much time at university outside of classes as i wish i had (because me “focusing on studying over my boyfriend hurt his feelings,” and “remembering i’m still a student” made him feel like a creep.) he also had me lie to his friends that i was 22. i don’t have any university friends my age. it’s summer now, so i can’t meet anybody in class. i must get out, but i am scared of what he could do. i found it really scary when he was physically violent with me before. he slapped me in the face and told me to shut the fuck up and called me names when i had tried to calmly talk to him about something. it would be easy for him to wait for me outside some places i have to regularly go. i want to dump him over text bc idk what he’ll do in real life. id that too shitty? when i tried to break up with him the first time he said “i won’t let you go” and laughed it off as a joke. i wish i could just drop out and go home, but i don’t want to give up on university. i don’t want leave this city yet, and i don’t want him to chase me away from my own life. i’m so mad that i met this guy almost immediately when i moved to study and he ruined my first year. i don’t understand how to actually break up with somebody. i don’t want to blame myself, i tried really hard. if i put the blame on him, i know he will become really angry as he hates being accused of things (when he slapped me it was because i had politely tried to talk about how i felt he was dismissing my emotions.) but if i don’t explain the breakup at all, what if he shows up outside my house or something.

I know you're really young and scared, but please dump this loser via text rather than face-to-face. I'm concerned for you and his abusive tendencies. Under no circumstances should a boyfriend belittle you and lay his hand on you. It's embarrassing how he handled your first attempt at breaking up with him. He's only with you because he views you as young and naive, just another girl for him to manipulate and use for his own pleasure. In any case, do try to move to a different apartment or even find some random person within the unit to help you walk outside to make you feel safer. My friend was in an abusive relationship and had to deal with her creep of an ex wait for her outside, and she was scared and ended up asking a couple that lived down the hall if they could walk her out outside. You know what her ex did? Fucking nothing lol. The woman and the man were taller and more built than that twig faggot, and he just glared at her as she passed by, laughing with her new friends. Maybe your boyfriend will back down or have a different reaction, but it doesn't hurt to have some people to surround yourself with. Notify the police that your abusive ex is scaring you or threatening you if it gets to thar level. Notify someone, anyone. Go to your parents if you must. They should help look after you. I feel for you, and I hope you can escape this situation. You're good for noticing what a shithead he is and that you need to leave. Keep us updated on the escape.

No. 407891

>>407885
thank you so much for your kind words, anon. they are really helpful and encouraging. these are good ideas. im not sure about moving apartments, i just moved into the summer accomodation apartment a month ago and i really like it, and i don't want to move unless i absolutely have to. i could maybe ask my neighbors for help if i need it. and i could get a flight home if im really scared. i can try to find different places to go, outside of my house, since he knows where i usually go to study/read and the park i walk in and stuff.
i don't know how he will react until i bite the bullet and dump him, i guess. so i need to just do it. i still don't know how exactly to word the text. ur right, i don't want to do it in person. so idk what to even say because i don't want to give him a reason to become angry, but i do not want to be so short and sudden that he will want to "try to change my mind and have a conversation," aka stalking. this is the excuse he told his friends about how he stalked his ex for a month after they broke up. his excuse was that she had dumped him suddenly and he was so shocked that she left him for no reason at all that he was just trying to confront her to get a final conversation for closure. i think his ex had a stronger personality than me. he told me she would pick fights with him for no reason, so she probably was just better at standing up for herself than me.
up until i learned about how he stalked his ex, i gave up on trying to leave him. i didn't think it was worth fighting, and i had a sense the breakup would be difficult, so i was like "ok i'll just try not to piss him off." idk. i shouldn't tolerate this treatment for myself, either. but when it comes to treatment of another woman, this is fucking unacceptable to me. i always want to stand up for other women, and i would feel morally evil to knowingly stay with a man who did that to someone else.
but, my texts to him are pretty neutral/positive lately, bc i'm not trying to piss him off. the last text i sent to him was "goodnight [heart emoji]" last night. and the next one would be a breakup text. i think he will see this as a major shock.
also, i told him once that my grandpa who passed away had bipolar disorder. and the first time i tried to break up with him, he tried to tell me he thinks i am genetically bipolar also, and that i wasn't acting like myself (i'm not diagnosed with anything and i'm not mentally ill.) and that he was very hurt because he knew i didnt really want to do this because hes the best thing in my life and the only person there for me, so i wouldnt actually be trying to break up if it wasnt like… mental illness? and im a retard so i just apologized for hurting him and "not valuing him" or something. kms. so if he does try to do anything, it could be justified with this. or saying he did so much for me. but i never asked him to be the only person in my life. i'm not happy with it. i actually WOULD have other people in my life if he didn't discourage me from making friends. like when i wanted to ask some classmates to hang out he would always be like "they are so boring and immature, you're wasting your time with these dumbasses." then he would just get mad if i went to any of the university's events outside of classes instead of hanging out with him so i stopped going.
btw if i go home to my parents. it's 12 hours away, so he is obviously not going to follow me there (hopefully.) but he does have my parents' address. i hope he won't try to harass my parents somehow or bring them into this in any way.
this is another thing i forgot about -parents' address reminded me- and i am once again stunned at my retardation that i let this slide. when i had just arrived in this city, i was staying in a temporary place and i didn't have a mailing address, and my parents had to mail me some documents i forgot. so i asked him if my parents could send the package to his house instead. my mom sent the documents and also a gift for me. IN A BOX. my boyfriend did give me the documents, and the gift. but he gave all the items my mom sent separately. like, he opened my package, took all the items out of the box, and handed them to me one by one. wtf why did i overlook this.
sorry for the rant i just want to write this stuff down somewhere. its like almost noon here now, and im just ignoring his text notifications. and pretending to sleep in. ill have to either decide something to say, or ignore him today. i am so nervous. thank you nonnas for your support. wish me luck.

Good thinking on going to new places. It doesn't hurt to venture out to a new cafe and not have to deal with him looking for you.

Think on this one for a while and look up examples other people used online. You could possibly do a "woe is me, I have depression/cancer/etc and you deserve so much better, I can't handle this, I need to be alone, etc" I don't know if that would work on him, but you could play into his ego and trick him somehow like that.
>she had dumped him suddenly and he was so shocked that she left him for no reason at all… he told me she would pick fights with him for no reason
This is such a glaring red flag. She found her way out, and it really is best sometimes not to be specific about why you're breaking up because the guy will learn to hide things better or manipulate you/others around about how you're in the wrong. She stood up for herself, and he gaslights others to think she was picking fights lmao. Tale as old as time.

Wow, I have no words. This is a huge red flag of an abuser. Alienating you from other people, not letting you make any new friends at events, and making you dependent on him is egregious. No wonder his ex just ran.
>i hope he won't try to harass my parents somehow or bring them into this in any way.
As long as you explain things to your parents, everything will be fine. At most, they'll throw away his mail or whatever. Maybe they'll file it away as evidence. In any case, you'll be fine with them for the time being on break. Sorry for the long reply with quotes, but I sincerely hope you can get away from this loser preying on younger women. Best wishes.

I read your other post also and I could literally be reading my own words from seven years ago. Is your moid Italian by any chance seriously, down to the lying about age. I had to flee from my ex and go back to the states and it ruined my chances at my dream career so I really REALLY don’t want you to have to forfeit your university experience for this loser. I’m so sorry. My advice is perhaps come up with a plausible lie that would keep him from contacting you like “I really want/need to focus on my studies and mental health going forward, and you’re too old for me.” Yes, I’m serious. Tell him you realized he’s just too old for you and you’re sorry but you need to be around your peers. Then block him on everything and put safety protocols in place like other nonnas suggested, like telling your parents about the physical abuse and making friends with some neighbors. I’m so serious, if a young woman approached me in my building and asked for help/some bodyguarding from her abusive ex I would help in a heartbeat. I bet there is at least one cool lady who would help you out ♥ wishing you so much goodness and strength, this loser is not going to wreck your life

>i still don't know how exactly to word the text. idk what to even say because i don't want to give him a reason to become angry,
Oh my god nona you’re in the mind trap he set for you and you don’t even know it. Free yourself. There is nothing you can do to manage his feelings or behavior about this. Absolutely nothing. No matter what you do he is going to react badly and say it’s your fault. Brutal honesty is the best way. “I hate your fucking guts, you’re abusive and you fucking hit me, so we are through forever” is all you need to tell him. Counter his mind games with full clarity.
Tell your campus security he hit you and you just broke up and to watch out for him because he’s apparently a stalker.
Tell everyone with extreme bluntness and in short phrases what he did. Say “he hit me in the face so I broke up with him.” Add your own phrasing as you see fit but keep it short and don’t shy away from it. This is his fault not yours. You need people to know, you need to get to them first before he does because he’s clearly good at manipulating. Campaign for yourself and smear him.
Everyone will understand this and take your side immediately if you keep it short. Even if they don’t know the full dynamics they will immediately understand he fucked up and you wouldn’t want to have a reconciliation with him. You can lie about the timing to make it seem like you broke up with him as soon as he hit you (this will make you look better and save face, and if he argues about it being a lie because he actually hit you like two weeks ago or whatever he will be admitting to it and making himself look bad kek).

it is done! omg. i did it by text. i just sent it 10 mins ago. thank u all for the encouragement and for helping put this shit into perspective for me, anons. i dont have much of a female community in real life (though i hope to change this) so your advice is really valuable to me ♥ i was so incredibly anxious before i sent the stupid text, hyperventilating and shit. i sent it, and i thought i'd become more anxious waiting for his response. but a weight feels totally lifted and i got some kind of adrenaline rush. he will likely still try to do something, and will probably go on to harass me. i expect this and it scares me a little bit, but ill do my best to fight it. i sent his picture, name, and a list of all the shit he has done to some of my trusted friends from back home and to my mom. and i will record and document everything he does in the future. ill call the police if i have to, but i hope it doesnt come to that. i also will send his name and picture to the security of my housing building.

i'm so sorry that happened to you too, anon, and that your dream career was stolen from you. i hope that you have a fulfilling, enjoyable career and life now. i'll try hard not to let him ruin my university experience. i ended up going pretty much with what you said. that i need to focus on studying and mental health, and i came here for university so that should be my main focus. so i am not interested in continuing a relationship with him. i didn't end up mentioning the age gap because im aware he gets pissed off when "women don't have a real reason to break up and use an age gap as an excuse to hurt a man" (retard.) i told him i want no contact going forward.

my fiance has now been ignoring me for two days (we live together and both work from home so it's extremely uncomfortable) and today I just learned my parents had to put down my last remaining childhood cat. I've been crying all day and all I want is some comfort from him but our entire reason for arguing in the first place is that he doesn't support me or comfort me when I'm ill or sad.
At this point I don't know if it's worth being the one to reach out again, talking him through everything for the tenth time and just waiting to have this argument again in a few months. Every time I think he finally gets it, but every time I get unwell he starts up the same routine of not wanting to hang out but instead making elaborate meals and saying I should feel grateful for them (I don't want elaborate meals when I'm ill, I just want him to be near me; this is a chronic thing and not anything contagious, so I don't see why we can't hang out).
Maybe I'm feeling more serious about this than I should because I'm on my period, ill and grieving my cat. I find it so hard to tell if I'm being reasonable or not. Is it stupid not to like his form of giving comfort (which really is just cooking meals; but I know that's what his parents did for him when he was a child, too, and it does seem to be a cultural thing for Asians) and be upset he can't comfort me how I'd prefer? Am I being an asshole for not appreciating his attempt at support?

I don’t know any man on earth who cooks elaborate meals for his gf as a way of showing care. I know an older guy who does it because food is his hobby but in no way has it ever been a care thing, actually he’s kind of annoying about it if you don’t care about the food as much as he does and have tasting notes on his dishes. You found a weird one. Food as care is a very female coded thing sorry to say, men just aren’t socialized like that at all. He might be lying.

Your future husband is supposed to be your partner through and through. If he has the emotional depth of a puddle and he's not capable of providing comfort and support I don't think your marriage will be a good one. You need someone that works with you, not against you. Ignoring anyone, let alone someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, is insane.
While other anons have been theorizing of cooking being his way of providing care - has he ever expressed that? Make him use big boy sentences and words and articulate this, but frankly I think this shouldn't be something you have to "make" him do, a competent human being would've already vocalized this ages ago.

Meals being his comfort language is actually the original poster’s theory. I was speculating it might be unrelated to comforting her because I’ve never met a man who cooked in a selfless way. I agree with you she should make him say it because I wonder if she’s just assuming it.

Are relationships with men meant to be covertly transactional in that we as women find a man who is kind and likes us a lot and treats us really well, who is hopefully not entirely hideous to look at, and then we "choose" to like him back because of the stability he can provide, or maybe a desire for children, or just tired of the dating world. We don't really feel passion or immense attraction towards him but can bring ourselves to have sex with him once or twice a month to keep him happy, and since he is providing for us we have time to find and pursue our own passions and get a sense of fulfillment we aren't getting from the relationship with him from other relationships in our life, be that our children or friendships, fostering kittens, creating a garden, furnishing our home beautifully, with the money and safety he provides.
I'm scared that this is what relationships for women have always really been, and that women "in love" are just making a logically sound choice when faced with the possibility of never meeting a man they feel real attraction and desire for. There's a lot of talk about romance being overrated, love being a choice, and that relationships are happiest when the man loves the woman more.
As I get a little older, still not old by any means but old enough that societal pressures have begun, when I turn away "good men" who I know would provide me with anything I ask but in my heart of hearts know i do not and would never grow to love them, because my affection can't be bought though it would sure be easier if it could, I believe im making the right choice but the doubts are there.
Am I going to be left behind by delusionally holding out for something that no one ever really finds anyway? I'm not afraid of being alone, but I don't want to make a misguided choice. Do you think most women settle for a man she knows will be loyal and she can "control" and reap the benefits of his adoration for her while getting joy from other areas in her life, or are most of the relationships around us genuine love, desire, and attraction between two people?

No. 408407

No that’s just living in a patriarchy. Those “societal pressures” you’re noticing now that you’re older are getting to you, that’s how it works. No idea where you live or who is around you so I can’t say what kind of relationship most of them are in. Would it change what you personally do if you found out most of them were in love genuinely? Would you also seek that? What if you found out most of them are in pragmatic relationships and not in love? Would you then decide to do that? If you’re not in a really oppressive patriarchal society and literally forced into a relationship with a man you can choose whatever you want. Don’t cave to the pressure you’re feeling if your gut says it’s wrong.

>who I know would provide me with anything I ask
You don’t actually even know that. Lifelong doting stems from a shared experience of love, not either form of desperation. This is unnecessary guilt and using that pressure to bully yourself by thinking you don’t deserve to feel infatuation/arousal/desire in your own love-story. Mutual passion is not odd, the inverse is, on top of also being a waste of your own effort. Yes you could just go along with anything but that’d be you choosing to reject more suitable guys you haven’t met yet—including that person if they can become someone you like without having to try or lie about it. It’s all pretend and disrespectful to both parties because there’s more suitable women he could go and fall for.
>relationships are happiest when the man loves the woman more
This saying is about the man being inexplicably, indisputably loving, openly honest and doting before trusting him with more serious things. Men probably don’t always express or prove devotion as readily as some women might, even when the woman has more lukewarm feelings. The concept is just trusting rather than wanting him to catch you before falling. It’s more about security, validation and stages of romance though, you should still be into the guy on your own part or there’s no point. Nothing good comes from settling, nobody will enjoy that.

No. 408538

>>408401
All relationships in life are transactional. You love your parents because they provide care for you (hopefully). When that need is not met, most people (understandably) dont really feel love for their parents. Likewise, people have friendships with others because they get something out of it: socializing gives them a dopamine hit, maybe their friends give them support, make them laugh, feel good etc. You generally dont wanna hang out with people unless they make you feel good right? And yes romantic relationships aren't any different. The whole basis of physical attraction is basically your brain sizing up another human being and deciding how good their genetic material is, deciding whether its compatible with yours.


Men are attracted to youth and fertility signals in women. Likewise women are attracted to handsome men because handsome men generally have qualities that indicate good genes and healthy offspring. Ugly and older people are mostly shunned from the dating world because their genetic material is not seen as valuable, but of course most people do end up settling for whatever situation is the 'best' they can get.

Most men want a virgin 18 year old Stacy with perfect boobs and wide hips and a bubble butt but realistically she isnt going to want them unless they have something to offer her.

Likewise most women want a tall handsome loyal rich husband but barely any of those men exist in the real world so most women will end up settling for whatever is the runner-up and how good she can get it.

All humans are pretty selfish and seek out transactional situations that can benefit them.

I've been seeing this guy for a bit over two months now, and we get along great, but… Everytime we get intimate, he finishes almost instantly after the first thrust. He swears this has never happened to him with anyone else before, so I guess I should feel very flattered, but honestly, it's starting to get a bit frustrating by now.

God i wish. It's a little sad (if we assume actual affection is absent from this relationship) but it'd be better than the more common reality of women being extremely invested in their boyfriends/husbands who really couldn't care less and are happy to have a maid/bangmaid/mom for their kids etc. This is why older women advise younger ones to find a man who 'loves them more', it's more of a calculated attitude than absolute advice. I've had women tell me i need to never ever tell a man i like him (because that would be a loss of power) only to fall for men and pursue them in their own oblique way. It's really about not seeming desperate. The truth is, we are humans and need genuine affection to sustain a relationship. Yes, women are more pragmatic and ultimately relationships should always be mutually beneficial, but if you don't have that initial spark, that silly feeling of wanting someone so badly and not understanding why, you'll be bitter and resentful of yourself and your husband/bf. And it won't go away, even if your material situation is objectively good, even if your domestic life is cozy.
And >>408425 is right, infatuation and arousal is necessary. I really think the attitude you're describing is a holdover of the times when women didn't have a say in who they married (often) but you don't have to settle like that.

In my experience knowing some married couples and divorced people, the former is true, while you may have some glimmers of "unconditional love" and initial honeymoon phase attraction, the majority of the relationship is not enjoyable and blissful as romance appears to be on the outside. However, I think this is a flawed thought because men aren't ever really loyal, nor are they completely submitted to the whims of their wife. They may give women the illusion of being controllable or devoted to only them, but man's biological instinct is to conquer, move on, conquer, move on, and rack up new "accomplishments". If they feel they've conquered you with marriage or a stable relationship, after so long they become antsy and unfulfilled in life, whereas a woman can stay devoted albeit bored with the same man for the rest of her life. Knowing this, I can understand why some women stay with men for the residual benefits. Men are unpredictable and it is not in their nature to be loyal, it really doesn't benefit them to be stagnant so long, especially if the wife is not a trophy to show off. In my opinion it isn't worth it to give my body away to a man for the few benefits it may provide. You may get extremely lucky and pick a needle from a haystack. The man may be attractive and nice and wealthy. But it isn't worth searching for the needle when the haystack is filled with violent at worst, boring at best men.

I've met a lot of men like this. Men really only care about looks and I have some interests that men like so they tend to fall for me. Not bragging, it's men I'm not interested in, but are decent enough to make me question if im making the wrong choice by not choosing to be with them. It's not like I have a line of men exactly my type falling at my feet. I know moids would say I'm going to die alone with cats or whatever because I'm waiting for Chad but that's not the case. I'm exactly the stereotype of what incels mald about online, a girl who knows her worth and doesn't want to settle down to be a baby factory for a "beta buxxer" because I still have SMV, though they'd try to say being nearly 30 makes me undesirable lol.
I tried dating a guy when i was
younger who was a bit older than me, wealthy and obsessed with me at first, above average in looks though not my type. I lived in a very expensive area in a home he paid for, after a while he became verbally/lowkey physically abusive. I think im scarred from that shit.

They are basically unicorns but they do exist. There’s certain types of men who just need and love female company and will do anything to be around a woman. They’re not gay but they can sometimes come across somewhat feminine because they spend so much time with women or at least try to and sort of absorb female energy.

I haven’t personally dated these kinds of men but I have seen other women land them. I’m not sure if I would say the woman is lucky or not to have these guys, but both he and her usually seem pretty happy with the arrangement so it works.

Your observations are completely right, he is guilting you, not only with his rape baby sob story but also when he had you comfort him after he violated your privacy. Trust yourself and dump him.

If a guy isn't dying to go down on you first he is gay. GAY. Pornsick guys will let you give them head, guys with a healthy sexuality would say "but I want to make you feel good instead."

I think this uWu my pure foregasming unicorn flatters me so much with his useless dick uWu thing is a massive and frankly embarassing psyop. I guess other women might find this scenario flattering once or twice, but if you still feel that way after a while, please consider seeing a psychiatrist. Look, if we are having sex, the very least I expect is, well, sex? I don't want godawful sex or no sex at all. A guy not cumming much (who cares) is fine if he knows what he is doing. My SO's drizalma dick hasn't let me or itself down so far. Real flattery lies in a man going berserk over my body and moving mountains to please me without even thinking because he fell in deep for my pussy and is completely bewitched by my body. That moid I dated giving me instapumps after I'm already turned the f on? THAT is what made me feel like a disposable fleshlight being used by a vile masturbator. This kind of sex is so anti-climatic that even the post-coital part is terrible. You can't carnally bond over not getting properly fucked. Also, since the topic has been raised as well, in my experience partners who provide good to excellent penetration also give good to excellent head and prelims, not the foregasmers. Please don't fall for this flattery moid cope. Sex is a priority. If the dick is doing the sucking, leave.

Honestly you’re right. I said what I said because in a ten year relationship this happened maybe 3 times and it was just something I laughed about (out loud when it happened and he laughed too and obviously we kept having sex) but in no way should this be normalized or considered flattering, it’s kind of a basic performance issue. If it’s a chronic problem this man needs a game plan, honesty, and a very understanding woman, not whatever lies he's trying to make her swallow about how it totally never happens.

My heart agrees, but my soul says he is very inexperienced and anxious. The dick is nice but I admit he doesn't really know what to do with it. However, he still tries, just like he could still try with his mouth. I want to be fair to a slightly younger vastly more inexperienced guy that I like as a person, just wondering how to approach it, or otherwise when to cut my losses.

How do you get over being disrespected in an argument? In normal conversations, my boyfriend is extremely sweet and compliments me on how intelligent and amazing I am, how much he learns from me, he genuinely listens to everything I say, but when we have a disagreement about something he does that I don't like, he becomes a whiny little snob. He acts passive aggressive, tries to pick holes in my logic, and brings up things that I supposedly do instead of just taking the criticism and moving on. I find this extremely disrespectful. He's my personal ass kisser up until I give him fair criticism and then his stubborn moid ego kicks in. I can't look at him the same anymore because now I know when we disagree he acts like any other retarded scrote throwing a mantrum. He's aware of it and he promises he'll fix it, but I'm starting to resent him for this.

Can't help but think everything he says about loving me and adoring me is BS now, and that when he disagrees with me he's showing his true self. That the compliments are empty words and him trying to butter me up, and when he can step up and show me with actions that he actually values and respects my opinion, like when we disagree, he fails to do so. What do I do? I talked to my friends about him but all they said was "every couple disagrees, just deal with it." But I've personally never seen a happy relationship where the man is disagreeing with the woman instead of taking what she says to heart.

My ex/first love from high school got divorced and I’m so jealous. Not for the reason anyone would think, obviously. I’m jealous because I also want a divorce, but don’t make enough income to support myself on my own. I also have an ASD kid, which means having roommates would be a nightmare, for us and them. I’m so stuck, it’s not even funny. Fuck this economy. Fuck being a mother. Fuck being an adult in general. My life decisions have put me here and I kind of just feel like I deserve how shitty it is for making all of the wrong choices. I didn’t go to college when I should’ve, I had a kid when I shouldn’t have (though, I put this one more on the illegality of abortion where I’m from and having no familial support when I was young,) I married a fucking scrote. I guess this is more of a vent than a request for advice. I’ve more or less just accepted defeat. And while I did go back to college, it was just for a cert that would get me a mediocre paying job, nothing that could support both myself and a special needs child in this economy. I would love to tell any young nonnies here to avoid making the same mistakes I did, but I know from experience that the social conditioning of women is strong. I woke up to it far too late.

Maybe you already did this but if you’re serious you should consult a lawyer and try to get a realistic idea of what sort of money/child support payments your husband would pay after a divorce. That’s still his kid too even if you split and if you’re married half his money is yours.

No. 408947

>>408936
The kid isn’t his, but my ex pays child support. It’s not a lot. Alimony has very specific requirements, usually you have to be married for 10+ years and the difference in both spouse’s income must be substantial. We meet neither of those. We’re poorfags who don’t have any assets to split. Even though we’ve been together for 7 years, he’s changed jobs about once a year and liquidated his retirement every time, so there isn’t even anything to get half of. His job hopping has never been for better pay. Anyway, if anyone here is considering getting married, make sure he’s rich/has good earning potential (or you do) in case things go sideways.

my husband is using every trick in the book to avoid helping me clean the house and I’m going to snap on him. The house is filthy and I’m tired of doing it myself. Yesterday we both had the whole day free and he wanted to drink a beer and go on a walk together. Past experience tells me that he would just go on a walk for three hours, come home drink another beer and then take a three hour nap and then the day would basically be over with no time to do anything but make dinner and go to sleep. I said I wanted to clean the house together because it’s in need of it, we need to go buy a mop and scrub down the surfaces etc in this house we just moved into that the landlord did not clean for shit. This totally ruined his day somehow and caused an argument because I refused to go on a walk and had a different plan, so he got extra drunk and just did nothing all day. I didn’t clean the house either because I’m sick of this shit. He had all Sunday off alone to do that sort of thing (which he did) so there was no need to do it again and waste his whole weekend. The floor literally is sticky and makes your feet black if you walk across it barefoot. Why the fuck would I just traipse across the city for a casual walk when our new house is like this? What is wrong with him? I swear he just wants me to do it myself while he’s at work because “sweeping aggravates my allergies and chemicals smell bad uwu” I’m gonna strangle him

Sorry you married that loser. If he's going to be a pain in the ass, then don't let him get off the hook for it. A lot of women just stop nagging their husbands and do it themselves, but fuck that. Make him suffer too. Never shut the fuck up until he actually helps out. And then if he does it wrong on purpose to get out of it, instruct him as if he's a child even if you have to do it over and over again. If he can't act like a grown man then he deserves to be emasculated.

I’m thinking of just leaving for about two weeks and telling him I’ll come back when it’s clean. I just deep cleaned the rental we left and got our full deposit back. It was his turn to clean this place for move in and he’s been here over a week without me and all he did was buy a broom (I don’t think he even used it.) I come here and it’s literally sticky. I’m tired I’m tired I’m tired I’m leaving tomorrow I’m so sick of this

No. 408960

Why did you have to clean your shared rental alone in the first place? Was he always like this? It will be hard for him to change if he's always been a lazy manchild that can't be bothered to do basic cleaning. The drinking problem doesn't help. I'm sorry you have to deal with all this nonnie, put your foot down and make him realize that he has to act and grow up.

No. 408963

>>408957
That's definitely an option, my petty answer was only because I didn't think you'd leave. Like the other nonna said, you definitely have to put your foot down, but do you think he's actually clean if you weren't there? Will you end up coming back even if he doesn't?

That's why I won't do anything for a moid until we get married. He has to go in with the assumption that he does the cooking, cleaning, planning, majority of the emotional labor, because I am doing zero of that. I am also not paying for dates or anything either. The nicer and more generous you are the more parasitic moids latch onto you.

The deciding factors would be whether he's a virgin because he has issues that other women can see from a mile away.. if that's whats keeping him a virgin, also whether he has an incel-ly chip on his shoulder about being a virgin. As long as he's not either of those things I wouldn't care.

My sister is in a similar position to you. She got married 5 years back and got pregnant. The kid has severe, ree tier autism and she is his full time wrangler now. She cant work because she is the only person who can handle him. Her scrote is the breadwinner and constantly holds it over her head and negs her/jokes about cheating on her all the time and talks about how he wishes he was single again. My sister wants to divorce him but cant afford to be a single mom. I try to help as much as I can, give her money, offer to let her stay with me etc but I am not well off by any means. It's been tragic to witness her life change so much in the past few years. Being trapped like that is so scary.
