I've been talking to a guy I've met online and it has been generally really nice.
He has very similar views and we share a lot of interests. He is well read and educated, cooks, doesn't drink/smoke/do drugs, has a very good job while still doing his degree, is independent, writes me (cheesy) poetry, makes me laugh, works out despite being a shy nerd and etc. Generally pretty much everything I would like from a guy.
Problem is that I'm not particularly attracted to his face. I don't think he is ugly, just average or maybe slightly above-average looking. And I can see that he is taking care of himself so even if I were to suggest to him a haircut that I would like more, I don't think much would change.
I know my looks could easily land me someone way more handsome (already did a few times), but the odds of me finding someone that has his other traits and views, while also not wanting kids are probably pretty slim. I know that I’m pretty young (25) but I also know that I’m not getting younger.
Am I being too picky? Would this be settling?

No. 382630

>>382626
If youre not attracted, youre not attracted. Youre not picky, he just isnt your type, even if he is handsome and nice. And thats ok. Attraction is a vital part of a relationship. Its better to let him go so you both can find the right one for you and he can find someone who is attracted to him. You'll just end up resenting him in the long run, which isnt fair to either of you.

This caught me off guard on how true it is. You can give the nice guy attention and try out a few dates, but you can't enjoy them to the fullest because he isn't that pretty to look at and you feel kind of gross being near him. It depends on how ugly but later youre going to reflect and start to hate him. If you're going to fiddle with moids they atleast have to be eye candy to compensate, especially since you met him online you really don't know what he's like or if he believes in anything he's saying so it really isn't a huge loss.

It's difficult, I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here. I know anons are going to come for me for feeling this way put personally I think everyone settles to some degree because the perfect partner doesn't exist. Personally I'm leaning towards giving him a chance considering he isn't ugly and beauty doesn't last anyway (especially not in men). In 20 years when you're both nearing 50s it doesn't matter if he was handsome in his youth.

But if you deep down dread continueing this because of his looks, then that's your answer and just cut it off. You probably know the answer if you're honest with yourself.

Does anyone else get weirdly turned off by their boyfriends being "beta" and before I sound like a huge fucking incel, let me explain. My bf always lets his friends walk all over him, like they treat him like garbage and use him but when I tell him this he tells me to "stop being negative". Somehow this is such a huge turnoff. Even when he agrees with me he doesn't do anything about it and crawls back to the same annoying fuckers in a few days.

My partner keeps feeling insecure and scared and jealous. I understand why because I have cheated on many partners before and told him that and he has been cheated on a lot and lost many people either by cheating or death, but honestly his insecurity is starting to annoy me at this point.. we've been together for 9 months and I just find it annoying now. We also have other problems already and I have other problems in my own life so ugh. How do I deal with this or stop being annoyed about it? I also feel the same at times so I get it but it's so much insecurity and negativity

No. 382777

Does anyone else alternate between feeling too attached and apathetic? I left a bad relationship where I became really codependent, but it was with someone very emotionally neglectful. I started talking to someone new who I really like and he's really attentive and reassuring and nice. But I find I'm still really insecure and need too much reassurance, little things make me feel like he stopped caring, if he's not in a good mood because of something I start feeling bad and neglected. Some of those times I start feeling really apathetic and I just want to push him away, maybe because it's like, he can't be emotionally distant if I do it first. I just wish I wasn't like this. He said at one point that he likes my neediness but I feel like that's probably temporary and anyway I just want to feel secure in a relationship rather than things feeling unpredictable, which I can tell is usually just me exaggerating things.

I feel like the relationship I'm in is healthy, at least compared to past relationships, he's not some porn addict without a job, but he's overworking himself to the point where I feel lonely. Like we hang out often, but he's not completely there. It's like seeing a happy friend now always sad. He's currently working a second job because his main source of income does not entirely pay all the bills, but this second job pretty much holds him up for the majority of the year. The take back is that it's very tedious and his social battery is nearly zero when we're together. I told him that I do hate his second job because for the first 2 months of us being together, things were great and this job has sucked him away. He's doing his best to not have to do this job again, at least to this intensity, but on a day to day basis right now, I'm so stressed and worried for him. He is so tired, he can't even do hobbies he enjoys. I depresses me seeing on a day to day basis he isn't practicing his passion. He knows he is unable to do this stuff, but his mindset is that it's a fact of life and we learn to deal with it, especially when there's debts to be paid. I feel like I need to go to therapy to go through this. Last night, he also brought up the fact that, yes, this is how the nature of his second job is. He doesn't like it, but it's what he's done for multiple years. It just put into my head that he'll continue to do this next year. I even thought about the future, like if we have kids is he going to be a mentally present father? I asked him if he were more career oriented or family oriented and we had a 5 hour discussion going back and forth about how things can be better. The jist of it is that I feel overwhelmed by this and I feel lonely, but he can't do much because he needs a roof over his head. He has forewarned me about how this second job is going to be stressful, but I didn't know the reality of how stressful it would be. He says he's not faulting me for being this way, he knew I wasn't going to be able to handle it, but he doesn't have any further expectations of how this would affect our relationship. He's asking how he can help, but I don't know what else he can do, he's practically booked for a few more months. I have to be patient for a total of nearly 6 months to see the man I have loved for our first 2 months together. What do I do? Do I start booking my therapist appointments? I know I can't do this alone.

How do you convince or train your moid to be more vocal and aggressive in bed? I've ask multiple times and even made a list of things I want him to do and say but it isn't sticking. I feel like I'm with a mannequin sometimes.

No. 383003

>>382996
is he really shy or self conscious? he may lack confidence or is uncomfortable with the idea of being aggressive. alternatively, he may just be sexually incompatible with you. tell him it's no fun to have sex with someone dispassionate and you can't get enthusiastic about sex with him if he isn't more (whatever it is that you've discussed).

I was snooping because i had a weird gut feeling.
i woke up around the same time he was downloading porn, didnt know at the time but thought it was weird that he was on his laptop. we ended up having sex. dunno how to feel now i know what he was doing before hand.

i cheated on my boyfriend 8 months ago. it was the worst mistake i have every made. i regret it so much. we were seperated for 2 months before i convinced him to give me another chance. we do fine now, he still gets upset at me sometimes and sometiems theres a feeling of hopelessness. Like maybe he will never not be bothered about what happened. I hope we can be together for a long time despite what happened. I love him, seriously. we have alot of good times together, and we talk a lot about each other's feelings and intentions. Is there any hope for me? I will never cheat again, never. I would especially never hurt this boy again. He is so sweet and brings me so much joy. I feel such a horrible guilt for ruining what could've been perfect. I think we are definetly making the most of this situation, but i am wracked with guilt sometimes. He knows im sorry and he wants this to work too. 6 months with him has been a blessing, i don't want it to end. but how can you expect someone to get over that? i dont, but we've agreed that bitterness has no place in this relationship. What do you think, am i crazy for even trying?

No. 383041

Like >>383035 says, only huge retards and porn addicts download porn. That is a serious sign of porn addiction. If he was just streaming I would consider a second chance but any moid who downloads porn is probably unsalvageable.

Why did you cheat, nonna? Also this sounds like the kind of thing that's really hard to recover from unless you guys do couples therapy, especially if he's still bitter about it. He'll always hold "that time you cheated on me" over you.

No. 383044

I still don't fully understand why i cheated. I was not over my ex even though he was not very kind to me. I was nervous about starting a new relationship with my current boyfriend because of all the messiness of my first boyfriend. I also moved to a new place and experienced extreme loneliness for a year. The people i was around were not very kind. My theory is that i became selfish and jaded from this new place and people. That combined with my confusion and indecision led me to cheat on my bf with my ex bf. Like i said, worst mistake ever. My current bf was always the right choice. i am more than ashamed about what happened. I think i went through an emotional metamorphasis after what happened. I lost friends, I am completely no-contact with my ex, I am completely devoted to my boyfriend now. I am very different than who I was 8 months ago. I never thought I would cheat. I am still so saddened that I did. I will always regret what happened. My only hope in this situation is my boyfriend. I am so grateful that he is with me now. Sometimes we have to have awkward and hard conversations, and I never imagined myself being the bad guy but I am. I have to accept that I hurt this person I love really really badly. It is painful to think about, but the good times I have with him make it seem so worth it.

You cheated with your EX? Girl… I don't think it'll be possible for the relationship to continue long-term. You're clinging to what the relationship was before the betrayal, but that relationship is over. The foundational trust has been broken. Rebuilding it may not be possible. If you're young, I don't see why you would spend the time, energy, and money on couples therapy like >>383042
suggested, though I guess it's a possibility if you're determined to make it work. There's still a big chance it won't, though. My advice is to learn from the mistake, forgive yourself, and move on.

No. 383047

>>383039
You broke his trust and it's extremely unlikely you'll ever have his full unconditional trust ever again even if he stays long-term. No matter how much time passes and how devoted you are, you've shown him you're capable of cheating and you can't reverse that knowledge. It's up to you if that's good enough for you or not.

I guess i thought if i was sorry enough and if i put enough effort in now that everything could be okay in the end. I've been with a few people but it has never felt like how i feel with him. i've had a crush on him since 7th grade, I don't want to let go of him. Maybe in the future we won't be together and I won't be so offended by your advice. But it hurts me to even think about. I love this boy so much. I was a terrible person, but i really do believe in reformation. I think if anyone can bear this and turn it into good it could be me. I am determined and committed to self-betterment. and all i want to see is this boy happy. after all ive done, ive realized that he is what i want. he is my friend, i can't bear to lose him

He's a porn addict. Think about all the other times in the past he couldn't finish and in the future. It's because he isn't getting his ADHD montage subway surfers screens of porn in real life. You should consider getting yourself tested, if he's not finishing with you, he probably thinks he needs to have sex with other women to achieve that. I wouldn't put it past him, if you can see his location history, check for massage parlors and hotels.

I found my bf cringe now. He found all of his ex gf's on discord and slept with them soon after meeting them. I didn't know how many or fast it was before dating and I am just like ew. His casualness around relationships in the past and quickness to get into bed with others is kind of grossing me out. I only can be intimate with people that I have known for awhile and trust that we are pretty serious so I am not sure if our values align. I've seen some of the old messages he has on discord and it is so cringe. I know that was the old him but I have never acted like that in my life. We have pretty good chemistry otherwise and he is attractive although goofy at times. He has a solid job, but like no friends. Not sure how to proceed or get over it.

He kind of is, but he is good looking, nice and easy-going and has a big dick. I just found out the other day that he never even got tested after sleeping with them and then me so yay for me. I got with him after a bad breakup and I have been dealing with low self esteem and other problems since so I think that's why I got attached to him. All of his past e-girls also cheated on him so I feel bad a bit but I'm also like why were you putting your dick in weird places. He has other good traits but his sexual past is just weirding me out. I have only had one past long long term partner and we rarely had sex, so I know I have some intimacy issues, but I have always preferred to have a partner who didn't sleep around so easily. He says he had feelings for all of them because he would talk to them online, but I just can't get over sleeping together on first meeting ew.

Masturbating is normal, pretty much everyone does it.
Flaunting about it though, even to friends, is pretty much always a red flag, especially in men since it usually stems from porn addiction and/or liking gross sex jokes. And in my experience, men that publicly make gross sex jokes are very often misogynist as well.
You almost definitely dodged a bullet there.

I know people here think it's stupid to be in a relationship with a guy online, but as someone with strict parents and living in a thirdie shithole with no privacy, this is my only option. The only problem is I'm constantly having thoughts about him cheating on me because I'm not there with him.. like what's stopping him from meeting other girls in his country who would give him 10 times more than I can, expecially sexually. I feel so fucking stupid but I'm in this too deep now to leave.
And no I have no plans on meeting him anytime soon, not that I don't want to or that he doesn't, but I just can't right now I don't have a job and I would rather him stay where he's at than getting caught together.No exaggeration my parents would shoot me in the head.
I dont know nonnies I'm so fucking dumb and I don't know how I got so attached to someone like that and it hurts to know that he probably doesn't feel the same.. it's only a matter of time before he gives up on this relationship..

I'm struggling finding a man that can match me with humor. I find men that are good but they're never funny or as funny as me. This is a weird ick I have. I feel like I can't make certain jokes or send the person I'm talking to something because they can't match it or fully grasp it. I sound incredibly egotistical and narcissistic but I hate having to explain basic jokes to men who only joke about women or iFunny memes. I feel like I have to lower myself and my mental capacity to reach them. I notice women understand humor and are generally funnier but I'm not gay or willing to be with one. I realize this is something I can't compromise and I have been holding myself back. How do you find a man that has an actual sense of humor? Do they exist? Do I have to start trying dating apps?

A decade long relationship just ended for me and not only is trying to carry conversation with other men tricky and lackluster where half of my jokes go right over their head or I can tell they had to google what I said to come up with a response, but I only miss the ex when I have a joke or quip literally no one else would understand- which I wasn’t expecting to be, like, a dozen times a day. Like this man treated me like I was barely human but he actually laughed at my fucking jokes and references and it kept me around in spite of that treatment….

I may just sound bitter but I’m finding as I go that the men with quick enough wit to make me laugh and find me funny as well end up grossing me out anyways because, almost always, they also use that intelligence to be manipulative of me or others so womp womp.

Ugh, I’m a heterosexual woman myself so I understand that it’s annoying when people say “just don’t date men lol” but I’ve had this thought for a while that if you want to have relationships with them, it’s optimal to just be friends. You basically get everything you need (besides sex and some other forms of physical affection) minus most of the drama and disappointments. At least if you don’t give a rip about starting a traditional family.

If they start to like you and pine after you then that’s their problem. Most of them for some reason build resentment towards the women who actually like them and want to be loyal to them, such as wives and gfs, and this is why the majority of them aren’t suited for actual romantic relationships in my opinion.

Nonnas, i really need help, please.

I've been all over the vent thread for a few months already, but i thought it would be better to post it here since it involves a "relationship". I apologize for how long this text will be, but i will try to explain it the best i can. Keep in mind in advance that im a retarded autistic bpd-chan.

So, i met this boy back in 2017 when i was 18 and he was 20. We met online while playing a mmorpg, and we instantly clicked so well together while talking that he told me he was developing a crush on me. We had a small thing online for a few months because i was too scared and anxious of meeting him in real life, until he "broke up" with me because he didn't want to be ldr. We broke up in great terms and decided to keep close to each other as friends.
The thing is, when he broke up with me, it was the moment i had fully developed feelings for him, since i'm slow in that aspect, but i was more than satisfied being only friends with him since i always felt he was out of my league so hard.

Just to contextualize, i tried to kill myself back in 2018, so i think this can show how well i was and been doing mentally so far.

Even though i liked being close to him as friends, i was still in love with him, i would beat myself to it everyday for losing someone like him. Back then i thought i would never find anyone that was that sweet, kind and lovely towards me, and, honestly, the more time goes by, more i believe it. He forced my heart and body to learn what feeling love for someone is, he is the first and only person i ever loved and love like this. He was the only one that treated me well. Fast forward to september 2022, we were still talking to each other of course, and at some point, i made a small half-joke-half-flirt that he took seriously and started to directly hit on me (he said this himself to me, that he took the chance to be direct with me), which i obviously loved. It was the first time i was able to feel what having butterflies in your stomach feels like. Of course i still loved him with all my heart, i was so happy that i would be able to finally have my second chance with him, i would be able to finally give him the love he deserved from me since the beginning, our compatibility was as strong as ever and of course i started to reciprocate his feelings. Looking back at the messages nowadays, i noticed he was already flirting with me since the beginning of 2022 and my retarded ass didn't notice it at all because i just couldn't believe someone like him would be able to love a piece of trash like me ever again, so i was in heaven.

But things were sour in my life when this happened. I got close to a manipulative moid some time after i tried to commit suicide, and he was still making my life hell because i couldn't distance myself from him, not only that, i had another moid that was sexually harassing me online sending me unsolicited pics and things like that. It had nothing to do with the boy i like, but dealing with those things was so overwhelming already that i just panicked when i realized i would have to deal with the romantic feelings i repressed for so many years, Meeting his family, meeting him, my severe self-image issues and all that. Thing is, i made the worst decision possible i could ever had. Instead of telling him and looking for his support, i just ended up ghosting him because i'm a retarded, i have no idea why i did that. He kept sending me messages looking for me, asking if things were ok, and i just didn't answer. That after telling him i loved him and wanted to be with him, which, well, is the absolute truth.

Fast forward to 2023, a friend of mine helped me to deal with the manipulative moid and the other moid that was harassing me, yes i spent another whole year being abused like that because i wasn't able to get away from that situation on my own, and i told him about what i did to the nigel i love. We agreed on me telling nigel about what happened and to apologize to him. I messaged him in november 2023, decided to get close to him and to be a different woman, show him that i regret it and wanted to be better, even if he didn't want me romantically anymore. It was a rocky path at the beginning, but we started slowly talking again, in january 2024, i actually felt some affection coming from him towards me. I confessed to him and told him everything that happened and apologized. Though things weren't like they were back then, i felt like he was starting to open up more to me a little, he told me he was lonely and wanted me to accompany him playing things and such. Well, but my life is a joke, my laptop is so old and shitty that i couldn't play with him and i didn't have time to watch the stuff re recommended me. So mid february he started to change with me, he got cold again and giving short messaged like he did when i first messaged him. Now this last week he also ignores me on top of the short messages, and this is hurting me a lot. I don't know if he holds some resentment towards me or if he thinks i didn't want to do things with him, but it just hurts so much. I can't resent him and honestly i feel like i deserve to be hurt like this for what i did to him. I'm still so deep in love with him, it's been 7 years and i don't think my heart will ever let go of him, i don't think anyone will ever love me like he did and treat me like that, just the thought of not talking to him ever again is enough to make me spirail into an anxiety attack, but all of this is hurting me so much that it's making me suicidal and i have no idea of what should i do. I'm even crying tipyng all this.

All i want is to be by his side again, i'm having meltdowns daily because of this situation and i think about him 24/7. Some advice would be highly appreciated, nonnas. I'm losing my fucking mind and i want to harm myself, please.

They become resentful because they either feel like you're not good enough for them and look down on you for caring about them when they think they could do better, or they know they're not good enough for you and look down on you for caring about them when you could do better. Women cannot win against the male ego.

Nona, you are beating yourself up about this so much more than you deserve. Your horrible crime was what, not wanting to move at the same pace as this guy when you were barely an adult, and not speaking to him for a year when you were being abused? If he was truly everything you say he was, he would have empathy and compassion for your situation and for you as a person. Think about it, if he disappeared for a year because of something bad happening in his life that he couldn't control, would you hold it against him? Probably not. I think you are idealizing him and putting him on a pedestal. I'm not saying he's terrible and you should let him go, but I am saying maybe you should wonder if you're holding on because of a sunk-cost fallacy, or because he represents something greater to you. Ultimately, it doesn't sound like you deal with things in the healthiest way, so I think you might want to get to the root of what's going on with you. I mean this in the nicest way, you sound like you're rather avoidant and not the best communicator. So it might be worth it to just be very straightforward about some of your technical difficulties and make it clear you're invested in the relationship working. I know you're afraid he won't wait for you, that it might be too late, but if he's worth it, he will try to meet you halfway here. You're not terrible for any of this, and I hope you don't harm yourself. No relationship is worth that. I think you should try to work on yourself, whether the two of you get together or not.

I know I might be in the minority, but I would prefer an fwb over a relationship anytime, I don't want to be committed to a moid like that or have him be in my business and I've never felt 'muh emotional bond' with any guy I slept with, but the drawback is that the guy might give you an std or something by sleeping around, you can't trust them. Situationships though.. it's always way too much stress for the woman, and the guys treat them like proto-girlfriends anyways.

You literally did nothing wrong. I saw your vent posts too and I just feel bad for you that you're beating yourself up. You did NOTHING wrong. Everything you did makes sense in context. You are allowed to be emotional, it's not a crime. You are allowed to ghost people when you're dealing with serious stuff, the absence of your communication is not an assault on him. If he liked you he would be very understanding.

> I can't resent him and honestly i feel like i deserve to be hurt like this for what i did to him.

You DON'T deserve to be hurt.
>i don't think anyone will ever love me like he did and treat me like that
Treat you like what? Flirt with you and play games online? Give you butterflies? Reciprocate your feelings? That absolutely does exist with other people out there, he is not the only one.

I agree with you on all other things, but, and I may me alone on this, I still think it's a shitty move to spend almost a quarter of your life talking to someone, develop mutual feelings for each other and then suddenly leave without saying a word.
It would have been different if she let him know what was going on, or even said something like "I need time to deal with personal stuff", but judging by the fact that he kept reaching out, I'm assuming she didn't.
Of course she doesn't own him anything, but I would have felt hurt if someone I thought cared about me suddenly tossed me like a rag.

>>383526
But in the end, if he cared that much about you, he would have definitely understood what you had to go through and would have forgiven you.
If he still does resent you over it, it might be not be the best idea to try to pursue things with him, since he might just use it as a leverage whenever you would argue, which would make you keep reliving your old trauma.

Personally, I would confront him about the way he is making you feel.
> I don't know if he holds some resentment towards me or if he thinks i didn't want to do things with him, but it just hurts so much.
Ask him directly about these things, making sure to let him know that you would rather hear the truth, even if it hurts. If he is even half as good as you are making him out to be, then I'm sure he will give you an honest answer.
Otherwise you will keep overthinking whatever he does and hurt yourself more in the process.
You are young, you can still definitely find love. The earlier you start moving on, the better.

sorry for the cringe I know I sound like a complete idiot, I never thought I'd be talking about someone that way myself but oh well.

I feel like shit in my relationship currently. I am pregnant and have gained so much weight and I really don't look good, not like those cute pregnant women who are skinny everywhere but their belly. I can feel my husband is less attracted to me, but he would never say it. We still have sex, but I think he feels obligated to do it. When I complain about my weight he just says "You're not fat, you're just pregnant!" but I can feel he is less affectionate with me, looks at me less, never compliments me anymore even if I go out of my way to put on make-up despite being exhausted constantly and just doesn't treat me as good anymore. It just hurts cause it makes me feel like men literally just care about your appearance and he treats me worse because I am uglier now. He is more mean and angry and snaps at me or rolls his eyes when I try to talk to him and I know that he wouldn't do that if I he was still attractive to him. He was literally always a sweet, affectionate and caring partner before this so I could have never predicted this. Just a warning to other nonnas here, don't ever gain weight cause men will literally stop loving you over it. They only like to be around women that they consider fuckable. I feel like a retard thinking a man could love me forever no matter what I look like.

There are a different branch of gross men that are into weight gain/feederism and all that need to be avoided too, but that's beside the point. I feel for you, nona. I hope that you can work this out and possibly have a serious talk with your husband about your worries. You're partners, and partners should help each other. I know pregnancy is an incredibly difficult event to go through, and he needs to step up and be more compassionate to you. I don't really have anything else to add, and I'm sure you'll get the "dump him" responses, but I hope you can find happiness with or without him.

God I feel like such a fucking moron. I've been with this guy for 8 years.I caught him paying for only fans a few months ago, and had a bit of meltdown. I tried to breakup with him, but I was too weak to follow through when he begged. Things had been alright, and he promised to stop, and I, an idiot believed him. When I went to bed last night, I found him having fallen asleep to belle Delphine tiktoks. I'm so fucking disgusted I don't even know what to do with myself. I haven't seen him since, and I might not see him until Saturday because of our work schedules so I've just been stewing all day.

I feel like the dumbest person alive. When we started I was young enough that I didn't see the problem with porn, and now I feel like it's probably too late to make him stop. Our lives are so intertwined, we spend a lot of time with each other's families and it would be horrible to never see them again. My plans (and his) for the next couple years depend on our partnership, and there is no way i could afford to be on my own. I really truly thought he was it for me but I'm so fucking revolted by what I saw. I'm heartbroken because we don't even have sex that often, but he apparently goes to bed early to jerk it to egirls. I know I'm a retard for asking, but has anyone made progress in a relationship like this?

I haven't. When I was younger I dated a few guys that would say they'd stop porn after a tearful apology. They always went back to it. I'd also say that a man paying for OF is worse to me than a man that just finds shit for free, because there's a transaction with a "real" person involved it's more personal to them (obviously all porn involves real people but men have no empathy and don't see free porn that way) and I can't get past that. You're not an idiot, you've been with him a long time and it's much harder to let go of something that you've invested so much time and energy into. Wish you the best, anon.

If you feel repulsion towards him, I don't think it would be wise to continue on with this relationship. You'll only hurt yourself even more. He's just like any other guy who jerks off to something he sees online. The only special thing about him is the fact that you dated him for all these years. I'd advise you to save up as much money as you can and move out when you're able to because all he is going to do is cause you grief. There's no use in rectifying a pornsick man, especially if you don't have sex that often and he watches these girls. Think well on this one, nona.

My boyfriend is a contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. He finds a way to invalidate everything I say. For instance, I complain about people making racist statements and he acts like I‘m not allowed to be upset about it by claiming that „everyone culture in the world is racist actually“ blah blah blah. I mean how could you even disagree with a statement as simple as „racist people suck“?

I know exactly he isn’t simply voicing his genuine opinions because they often contradict each other. The only thing they have in common is opposing my statements.

He's the most emotionally mature man I've been with and he is working his ass off to make sure he takes care of me and he is basically perfect. There is one issue: I don't find him to be incredibly attractive in the face. There is one picture of him that someone took where he looks like a model, he wasn't even aware it was being taken. If he sends me a picture of his face he took he looks.. pretty bad. I can't tell if I really like him or how he looks exactly. What do I do?

Ive been with my bf for 5 years. i generally have no complaints about how I am treated day-to-day.
However, every time I mention wanting to start a savings account or consider the next steps towards marriage and children, I am met with a wall of excuses because he has back injuries that affect his day to day. He cries or snaps as a response and it leaves me feeling defeated and like I wont be able to build a future with him. Ive lost my sex drive during all this as well.
As luck would have it, a dear friend has offered me her guest room by the beach for a month, absolutely free of charge during April for us to spend time / get me out of my depression. (She rocks, I love her.)
I want to leave a letter to my bf while I am away, spelling out my needs for my future, and the demand to action on his part.

My boyfriend and I are just so different and I don't know what to make of it. We can still laugh and have fun together but I see the things I once liked and admired about him in a different light now. I used to think his ambition was absolutely amazing but now I don't understand how he lives to work and not the other way around. He's extremely avoidant, even if I bring something up myself or apologize for something he'll say it doesn't matter which either means he can't communicate or doesn't care enough to do so. We've been going through a rough patch but I haven't been able to speak to him about it at all. I feel like he can't deal with problems in his life so he prefers to pretend they don't exist. At first I enjoyed having a connection with someone so different from myself and he made me a more positive, happy person but in the past months it's just been putting a rift between us. I can't even tell him about things that excite me anymore because he either makes a snarky comment or begrudgingly listens. It could be solved if I could just talk to him about it but he ignores me or changes the subject anytime I bring up something even slightly uncomfortable. It's always the same, he says he misses me but doesn't bother to make plans or even text me, he says he loves me but pressures me into sex almost every time we see each other, he says he's excited to see me but is 2 hours late by default. And most of this could be solved if he just fucking talked with me. I'm so done, I just snap at him all the time because I'm so frustrated. I have to fill in the blanks myself because he'd rather die than talk about the most minor things.

The fact that he doesn't address things and when you tell him about things that excite you, he either makes a snarky comment or begrudgingly listens is very telling on what sort of person he is.

I would bring it up - I think it's worth peaking your boyfriend. Otherwise, you'll stay worried about him trooning, and he'll probably get brainwashed online into thinking liking femboys and traps isn't degenerate faggotry. I've expressly told my boyfriend that I would leave him instantly if he trooned out, and I think more women should do the same.

Most normie people are pro-trans until they are forced to hit peak trans. I used to watch contrapoints back when I was deep in my non-critical-thinking handmaiden days, and now I look back and can't believe I ever took that obvious fetishist seriously. Honestly just showing him the transgender crime statistics, pointing out that threatening suicide when you don't get your way is a classic abuser tactic, and showing him the new WPATH files should do the trick. Remind him that "the science" used to promote lobotomies and maintained that black people were intellectually inferior to whites.

Two hypotheticals seem to work on the pro-science, pro-tranny crowd. One is this - ask him to explain why it wouldn't be possible to be transracial. If you can identify with the social expectations, garb, and "culture" of one sex, why can't you strongly identify with another culture to the point you believe you were born in the wrong body?

The other is to get him to explain why body identity integrity disorder is a mental illness but being trans isn't. If he brings up the brain studies, point out that the only brain differences measured were between heterosexuals and homosexuals, and did not measure "a woman's brain in a man's body."

It sounds like you know exactly what the issue is, which means it's time to confront him about it. Foreclose the possibility of him blowing you off by starting off with, "I notice that you either ignore me or change the subject when I bring up anything uncomfortable." That way, if he does blow you off, you can point out that's exactly what you're talking about. Set some boundaries. Tell him that you're tired of him always being late, and that you'll cancel dates in the future unless he shows up. I'll bet he's never late to work, and always listens attentively to his boss - tell him you expect him to respect you in the same way, if not more so because he purports to love you.

Appeal to the fragile male ego - men are very, very afraid of being seen as cowardly, and they like to think of themselves as le rational problem solvers. Use both of these things to your advantage. Tell him you think it's cowardly that he hides away and avoids the difficult conversations. Also, tell him that you want to be a problem solver and actually face and fix the difficult things, and not just avoid and hide from them. I do this all the time with my boyfriend and it really works. Once you start challenging their perceptions of how they see themselves (e.g., "I'm not a coward! I like to fix things! I'm a problem solver!") they'll rush in to prove themselves and you'll actually get some work done.

Yes, it's a problem. If you want children think of the risk of him getting them on blockers or of him trooning in front of your children. Also if you out yourself as a terf to him he will use it against you.
My boyfriend has to be careful about what he says openly because his field is troon-adjacent but he tells me he finds them immature, repulsive, and degenerate. Without prompting he told me that troons harassing lesbians is equivalent to corrective rape in his eyes. That's how any potential boyfriend should be if you are a terf.

That's good! I hope all works out. He may be a hard worker because he knows it's a place where he knows he can be in control, so when he feels out of control (ie. Being in a relationship, feeling like he's losing his "I" when topics of "we" become more frequent) remind him of his great responsibility and individuality. He'll likely look for reasons to confirm this idea he has that no one understands him, due to bad experiences, but often remind him he's his own person.
My Nigel is the same, even through this rough patch we had for a couple weeks, he still wanted to have sex, but I felt like I had to force myself to hold his hand and give him hugs. Many men view affection has something sucking them away from their individuality. Men like this also need more space throughout the days, so fill your free time up with catching up with friends, he'll feel more secure knowing you have a life outside of the relationship too.
I listened to a podcast called Jillian On Love and she had a 2 part segment about the Chaser and Runner dance, and also one about anxious avoidant attachment. Take notes from those 3 episodes and see what you can apply from there into your relationship.

I need help. My bf has been identifying as a trans female for three years now, sadly I got in a relationship with him despite knowing this fact. I feel like I've majorly messed up, now that I've fully peaked and he's talking about decisively going on hormones. I've tried to warn him that he'll likely get health problems and his genitals will shrivel up and decay. Oddly, he does not seem to mind, which contrasts with the typical hypersexual nature of a moid. He watches porn and masturbates frequently, too. I feel disgusted when he touches me, knowing that he objectifies women so much to the point he wants to skinwalk them. Plus, he's gained a lot of weight over our years together and refuses to work out, he says it "isn't for him". But I can't find it in me to break up with him and pursue a relationship with a regular moid or woman. He's treated me with more kindness than anyone else in my life. What do?

i started talking to a guy i met online over a month ago and so far its been super good, except he's 22 years older than me. he's honestly really hot and we share a bunch of similarities that are just kinda crazy to me, and we talk for hours every night. im obviously an adult, but the difference in age is massive, and if things pan out well, i have no idea how to tell people around me.

there's honestly no red flags, and a lot of green ones regarding our age difference and who he is as a person. im a degenerate and do like older men, so im pretty set on this. any tips on how to tell people in the future would be very much appreciated. TIA nonnies!

How pro-trans is he? A lot of people say that and they are just repeating a sentiment of support without really thinking about it or caring. Does he just not want them to get hate-crimed or does he think they’re actually women and he would marry one? The most fundamental issue is that men can’t physically become women and vice versa, it’s all a lie. It doesn’t even prevent suicides to transition because eventually trannies butt up against the fact that the closest they can get is all cosmetic superficial stuff after putting their bodies through hell for years. The dysmorphia is distressing but it’s mental and cannot be solved through physical altercations, or even if it’s a relief at what cost does it come? How sustainable is it? Is it real relief or just succumbing to the mental illness? Compare it to anorexia: you’d never support an anorexic’s desire to starve because they feel fat in their body, you would want to get them help and make them healthy. Or the way a plastic surgery addict is never happy because they got surgery, it’s a surface level fix, there are deeper issues.

I've always heard advice about "the first argument" as a benchmark for the relationship, like "don't do x until you've argued" or "you don't know who someone really is until you see them argue" but I dunno what to do with that advice because my bf and I just haven't had anything to argue about.
We even had a discussion about this since we've both been told this sort of thing before, and we're both kinda confused on what to make of it. We tried exploring some controversial topics to see if we could at least find something significant that we didn't agree on (even if we're not motivated to fight about it) but we only really disagree on frivolous things like food preferences, nothing actually serious.
It seems like the sentiment behind it is that people are concealing their "real self" until you have a fight, or that you must not be getting into the weeds of serious discussions if you haven't found anything to disagree on, but I mean… We discuss all sorts of things, we just always have similar views. He'll bring up values that I agree with and I really doubt he is making it up because he actually lives them and is consistent when he talks to others (also he's kind of autistic and clearly not good at lying or being indirect).
More of a blessing than a problem I guess but any thoughts on this? Should I just ignore this common advice?

This is more of a vent rather than asking for advice but whatever:
I want to break up with my boyfriend but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do.
I wanted to break up for at least 6 months now but I still believe he might change. He’s lazy, does nothing but work and watch youtube shorts or whatever, never goes anywhere with me, no dates etc. I hate visiting him because his flat always nasty and just plain uncomfortable. But he never visits my place either (he says it’s too small - I live in a dorm room) so I’m always the one who has to spend an hour per week to come to his place. And whenever I’m at his place we never do anything except watching shows in his crumbly bed - when I’m lucky we play some Magic the Gathering for 30 minutes until he wants to lie down and watch shows. I’m so fucking bored with this relationship even though I do love him a lot - as a best friend, but not as my partner. He’s funny and has the same retarded humor as I have, I can say whatever is on my mind and he will understand or not judge me at least. But I can’t imagine a future with him anymore as his manchild behaviour doesn't seem to go away. It doesn’t really help that I’m just not sexually attracted to him anymore at all - he doesn’t really take care of himself, he gained a significant amount of weight and when he goes to work I have to remind him to put on some clean clothes not the stained ones that were lying around on the dirty floor and to brush his fucking teeth.
But the problem is that I have a massive crush on a guy I know from uni (which is so shitty of me, I know, but I can’t help it) and now I do not know whether I want to break up with him because of his bad traits OR because I have a (possibly short-term) crush on someone who is the opposite of my boyfriend. I wanted to break up with him way longer than my new infatuation with someone else but I feel like a terrible person anyway. The reason I haven’t broken up yet is because he had exams in the past few weeks and I didn’t want to add more stress to his already stressful time. I don’t even know why I’m rambling here, sorry nonas

There is an old saying "Shit or get off the pot"

You are going to either start bossing him around to do what you want, and threaten him if you can't do normal life things then I'm leaving. He will be upset as to why you are suddenly being so nasty and you will respond with because I have always wanted you to do these things and you leave much to be desired. He will either do them or give you an ultimatum like, if you can't accept me like this then leave. Or you're going to rip off the band-aid and move on with your stinking life. As time heals all, 3 years from now you will wonder why you ever stayed with him for so long. Next time you will be able to identify red flags and know when to nope out before you get comfortable

I don't think I had a semi-serious disagreement with my boyfriend until 4 years into our relationship, when we moved out of our small apartment and into a rental home. Chores weren't an issue when we only had 700 sq feet to take care of, but it turned out that he was unwilling to significantly increase the time he spent on chores, which was a requirement when we upgraded to 2000 sq feet and a lawn we had to maintain. Before then, we didn't have much to argue about. It kind of blew the lid open on us arguing though, and now we get in fights over things that we never would have before, like interpretation of social situations on reality tv.
> we only really disagree on frivolous things like food preferences, nothing actually serious.
Like other anons said, I think it's really important to know how long you've been together and if you live together or not. If you and your boyfriend have similar values and are both sane and reasonable, it's very easy to avoid fights over things that don't actually matter. It's not until your partner does things that cost you more money, time, energy, etc than you would like to give, and you would like to change your partner's behavior, that things start to get contentious. And chores are such a huge, huge thing, and they're very hard to manage in a way that makes everybody happy.

For example:
You would like 100 units of chores done per week because that's the level of cleanliness you like to live at. Your partner is happy at the level of cleanliness that you achieve with only 70 units of chores, and he doesn't personally see the benefit from it being any cleaner. How do you manage that extra workload? Do you take it on entirely yourself? Do you expect him to do half of it, even though he doesn't really benefit like you do? Do you choose some in-between? Where should that fall?

There's pretty much no option here that doesn't build resentment, even if everybody involved is doing their chores reliably, efficiently, and well (which is usually not the case), and they're measuring their effort consistently. Talking about it is hard because you're necessarily asking the other person to sacrifice some of their valuable time to give you some time back.
(And then you get resentful about wasting time arguing because that time could've been spent on chores.)

Overall, it sounds like you're in a good spot, so long as you're not just avoiding fights because one of you is conflict-avoidant and capitulates immediately every time.

I got ghosted recently and I can't get over it. Usually I can and wouldn't care but this person felt truly special to me. He was my dream partner in literally every way before he ghosted. And I just can't get over it, I'm really annoying myself and beating myself up over everything because of this. I can't stop thinking about what I did wrong, we were getting along so well. When I do my hobbies, job or other things they don't distract me for long before my thoughts go wandering back to him again. It also sucks because we had so much in common including our hobbies and interests so a lot of times I'm like "oh I'll talk to him about this, I bet he would like this" but then I remember he won't reply at all. I really miss talking to him. I'm able to distract myself when hanging out with my best friend but obviously she's not always available and neither am I so that doesn't help that much.

I've been trying to meet new people, meet new guys. Met a really good looking guy with a cute accent and yet I still prefer just about everything about my ghost boy compared to all the others. I suppose I find them all boring compared to him.
When I talk to other guys I just wish I was talking to him instead, I really liked talking to him and I miss it so much.
I think one of the things that's getting to me the most is how unexpected it was. The day before he ghosted, we were making plans together, that HE initiated.
And obviously, I try to keep reminding myself things such as "he's just a moid, probably watches porn, probably jerked off to gross shit before" and "if he was really that amazing he'd at least spare a minute of his time to tell me he no longer wants to talk" and whilst I agree with those things…. ultimately, I still miss talking with him a lot. It's been a while (maybe forever?) since I found someone so engaging to be around or someone I had so much in common with. Simply talking to him would really entertain me and make me so happy. He seemed to feel the same way. Even though I don't want to want this, I desire to simply just listen to him talk all day. About anything. I think my love language is words.
I feel so pathetic in every way but nothing I'm trying is working. I wish I could completely stop thinking about him. I have never in my life felt anything even similar to this before.

I am an idiot and I need to stop being so stupid. Sorry in advance for the long post.

I'd reconnected with my ex after 5 years. We didn't break up because we didn't like each other, but because the distance kinda drove us apart and we'd just stopped talking. He lived in a different state, same time zone but it took 2 hours by plane. Neither of us was in a particularly good place financially to sustain the travel. I had contemplated moving out there because he had obligations that prevented him from leaving, but ultimately found a job that kept me here.
Reconnecting with him was nice. We had a lot of common interests and we were still very attracted to each other. He says he adores me. He told his mom that we'd started talking again and she was very thrilled. He also mentioned that he no longer had obligations to remain where he was and had actually moved to a neighboring state. He also (jokingly?) said he'd loved to sell everything he had to drive out to where I was to live with me.
My job has me traveling quite a bit. He'd asked to visit back in January, but I was expected to start traveling until April and had told him so. His feelings got hurt because I'd sent "lol I'd be out until April." He texted that he "wanted off the ride" while I was in the middle of a non-crucial meeting so I excused myself to call him to talk and we'd smoothed things over. (Not my best moment, but it felt important.)
Work, coupled with the traveling, has been stressful and have dominated my entire life. I've just been going to work and then returning to either the hotel or home (when I'm there). All I wanted to do was sleep. In retrospect, I guess I should have texted more, but it felt redundant. I finally made plans to go see a friend on 2/24 and he said "Have a great time." She ended up bailing on me and I just lost it. I didn't text him to let him know. I let it sit until the next day before sending an unrelated text. I didn't get a response back but didn't think too much of it.
I decided to go out there for a week from 3/1 - 3/10 because fuck it, I wanted to surprise him since I had originally told him I wouldn't be available until April. The trip was expensive but ultimately I felt it would be worth it. I sent texts the entire week I was out there to let him know. I understand that it was unreasonable for me to spring this trip so last minute (I even told him so), and in hindsight, I don't have a right to be upset. I just thought it would be nice to see him. He did not respond at all. I was incredibly cross and in my anger, I texted him once I'd landed: "I don't understand why you ghosted me, but I was in town and felt really stupid. Thank you. Have a good one."
He said that he hadn't heard from me for weeks (???) and thought I had gotten tired of talking to him, that he felt that I was texting him out of it being a chore, that he's "happy leaving it as is." I explained that wasn't the case and I even sent him a screenshot of my multiple texts that week. He claimed that the texts hadn't gone through, but that had he known I was out there, he probably would have gone to see me. Then he said he wants me to "live well", and that he actually wishes me the best.
I don't know what to make of this situation because I'm all over the place. I just feel very defeated and utterly worthless. I am very hurt, and I feel pathetic because clearly he doesn't want anything to do with me. Despite all this, I want to text him and I don't even know what for.

You've seen firsthand that there's no point in reconnecting with exes, unless they've shown you actual concrete proof that they've changed. It's really not worth putting in the extra effort to see a guy, if he cares about you he will go the extra mile for you and will feel bad to make you travel for him. He was very clearly ambivalent about you the first time around and is the same now or else he would have actually made plans to see you already.

Even cleans my god damn apartment for me when I have a very depressive low energy time.

With c-pstd (bpders often deal with it aswell) there's this unconscious self fulfilling prophecy that can play out in relationships. You can self sabotage by feeling so unsettled when things are going good. You're anticipating that surely this has to be the calm before the storm. Part of you is hardwired to think well this is nice but when does the shitshow start? With that going on in the back of your mind.. cruel thing is it makes people act in ways that more often than not only fulfill the prophecy. The prophecy being things like
> Good things don't happen to me
> Everyone leaves me
> I'm undesserving and he just hasn't figured that out yet, But he will

Tbh yeah there are lots of guys who are amazing early on and it doesn't stay that way longer term. That's a harsh reality. But jumping the gun and anticipating that so hard is the fastest way to chase someone off before you even have a good reason to. It's worth reading up on because there's more to it that can't be condensed into a post. Alot of it isn't conscious. You're thinking this guys great, how do I keep him?

It’s just that the way a man acts before you sleep with him can be alarmingly different from the after that I do worry for you and your situation. Especially because you think he’s so great and you’re worried about what you might do wrong but the relationship has not even really started in a big way. This is the early stages of dating basically so you shouldn’t be this stressed. This could go any direction. His relationship status before should not affect your relationship now, actually that’s a red flag.

>you shoudn't be this stressed
I'm stressed as hell because: I haven't seen a single good example of a straight relationship in my nearest environment and I had a plenty of terrible examples in my family and since I was a teenager and started browsing internet, I've read and heard hundreds of horror stories from women about men and being with men, on various forums and blogs, on tumblr, youtube, lolcow, I know various statistics on male fuckery, I know history, I read many books, and tbh I never thought I would date a man irl and it's my first time ever dating someone so I'm paranoid with fear, even though, for now, he seems to exibit various green flags like the ones in the video. I'm also autistic so I constantly analyze everything and I look for patterns. I constantly analyze everything he says and does. I can rarely be "in the moment" and just enjoy it. Maybe I resent men in general too much to ever be with one? I don't know. There are moments when I can enjoy what is happening, and then right after that panic sets in and I imagine a hundred different scenarios about where this relationship could go. It drives me insane sometimes. I think at some point I might just end it myself because it's just too much for me and maybe being with men is not for me?

How did you two meet? I'm assuming this isn't a situation where you knew him for a while before dating him since it seems you don't trust him yet. Maybe you're feeling really anxious because you still don't know him very well? I think the main question is whether you like him or not. It sounds like so far he's shown himself to be a good partner and not a dangerous person, but do you like him? And by like I mean that you genuinely like him as a person. Genuinely liking someone is different than appreciating the kind things they've done for you or feeling safe around them because they're the bare minimum and not toxic, abusive, openly misogynistic, etc.

I won't sperg too much about my own experiences, but as someone who has a really hard time letting their guard down around men I've noticed that mostly happens when either I don't know that person well enough yet or I don't like them enough. Even if I'm attracted to someone or we have similar interests or I've analyzed someone front to back and come to the conclusion that they're a safe person to be around, I can't relax around them if I don't genuinely connect with them. Sometimes your body knows this before your brain does, but that's just my experience.

The cptsd has to be what's making it this unbearable to be in the usual 'is he good or just being good for now' stage, which we all have to navigate. It def sucks but not usually to this extreme. Have you spent much time looking into how cptsd specifically affects dating on top of reading up on more generalized dating advice. There's patterns that come with that and they tend to work against you and make you your own worst enemy at navigating relationships. Learning about those tendencies will serve you more rn if you're already well read up on mens fuckery. Factor in how much cptsd plays a role for you and amps everything up to 11

If it's driving you crazy it's not wrong to step back and let yourself be single and relax. And it doesn't have to be a 'do I stay with this guy or never date anyone again' decision. Plenty of women with trauma based DXs go through hell trying to date early on and it can get better with age and experience if you learn about why it's this intense for you and how to deal with that added mindfuck.

I was doing long distance with my boyfriend for awhile, flying up to see him every other month just about. I recently moved in with him, but roughly 2 months from the time I moved in with him I’ll be going on a vacation with my mom.
So I’ll be flying to my mom’s house, flying from her city to our vacation spot, spending like 4-5 days there, flying back to my mom’s, and then flying home. The issue is I don’t know how long I should spend at my mom’s house, I’d like to catch up with her a little and spend some time with her boyfriend that I’m kind of close with. Is 2 weeks too long to spend away from home considering I just moved in with my bf? I’m just looking at flight dates that make sense and it’s either 1 week and I come back home early from vacation with my mom, or it’s 2 weeks. There’s no real in between

I'm embarrassed to share this, but the guy I've been dating for several months now just had a herpes outbreak. We didn't get tested when we first started seeing each other. He suspects he got it from a previous partner. I'm not gonna go into detail but I have plenty of evidence to know he's not cheating on me. I plan to get tested soon. It sucks because he's actually a wonderful, kind person whom I can see a future with. I've read "what to do if my partner has herpes" articles online but they all come off as really generic. I was wondering if anyone here has any real-world stories they'd be willing to share about how they dealth with a partner having herpes.

No. 385981

>>385961
If you've had a cold sore before in your life, you've had herpes (HSV-1).

I had a previous partner who absolutely did cheat, absolutely did expose me to HSV-1 when I'd never had it prior, and absolutely lied about it. My outbreak was genital and it was insanely confusing and I sought medical treatment. He just kind of shrugged the whole time and was very "it is what it is". (We aren't together anymore, btw, and this happened probably about ten years ago).

Health, fitness, and managing stress levels really do a lot to control outbreaks. I don't take a daily anti-viral but I do try and keep active and not eat like total dogshit most of the time.

With that said, I've been with my current partner for about three years and told him as soon as we started discussing exclusivity/having unprotected sex. Key stuff here is to not share cups/utensils/chapstick and shit (if oral), and avoid any form of sex/friction(if genital) while a breakout is ongoing.

Peeing with an outbreak is miserable, and I think the best thing you can do is be empathetic to your partner and ask what they need from you.

Asking this kind of question shows that you care about them and you're looking for practical answers. Good luck, nonna.

Herpes type 2 nonny here. I contracted it after being raped, and honestly it took a long while and tons of therapy to make peace with the fact. I refused to engage in dating for several years, but when I finally did I discovered it was fine as long as you’re upfront about your situation. Some reject you, many don’t. Today I am engaged to a man that never judged for a second because of my disease. Also worth noting I only had 1 outbreak (from the initial contraction) and it’s been fine since which seems to be the case for most people.
So it’s not the end of the world!

I have not had a cold sore in my life; this is also his first outbreak so we're still figuring out where it came from.

What do I do about this woman I'm talking to who keeps revealing really personal shit to me even though we've been talking for barely a week? I know, not exactly a relationship but we met once before deciding to 'start talking' and see what would happen.
We've not even been on a proper date, and she has told me about her exes who left her, her first love who she loved for 10 years, her horrible mom, I could take this all and I said some boilerplate phrases, but she just told me that she got raped last month and how she was worried she might not get her period and how relieved she is she got her period today. I really, really don't know what to say to this, I'm already bad at social situations and this is too much information in too little time, we are basically strangers right now. I've never had someone do this to me, and really not a potential date. I don't know what to say to her. "Oh yes, I'm sorry, I've been SA'd too so I get it", like what the fuck. What do I do? We're both 25… I thought you get some sense by that age you shouldn't reveal these things to someone you've talked to for a week. Am I being too unempathetic?

She is definitely oversharing. I feel for her because she might be oversharing out of emotional stress because she just got raped, she sounds like she has an open wound emotionally right now and it’s not that weird for people to start oversharing as a side effect. Maybe she’s not normally like this.
It’s extremely early stages of a relationship you are allowed to just bow out. You don’t have to be there for her, you are almost strangers. if you aren’t equipped to handle it what are you gonna do by staying around? It’s a weird situation. You can say no thank you to further meetings or suggest you stay in touch as friends because you don’t feel a romantic spark. I can’t believe she’s trying to date right now she needs a friend (not that she’s not allowed to; I get wanting to go on with her life but dating would be extra stress I wasn’t interested in if it were me, personally I don’t get it. I’d be holed up in my house which is bad in its own way lol.)

I think you're right, also maybe it's part of her trying to process what happened. She seems to have friends, I hope they're good for her, we met through them actually. But it could also be that she just doesn't want to tell any friend, people can be like that too.
She's in the process of getting referred to another therapist, and it's taking a while at such an unfortunate time too, so could be why she just wanted anyone as an avenue to vent it out.
I don't think I am equipped to handle it at all, but I don't know if I should abruptly bow out after she's told me so much, could that hurt her? Also, I think I agree with you that trying to date so soon might not be good either for her. I am in no place to give her advice, but I don't feel comfortable pursuing anything now.

I think it's a situation where honesty is the best way forward. Like "I'm sorry I don't feel anything romantically but I am worried about you and I don't want to ghost on you when you're going through all this." Then you suggest a platonic meetup like at the arcade or a local art show or something, possibly with other people.
That said, you could just kind of drift away. She has a lot on her mind I don't think you'll be the straw that breaks that breaks camels back…or could you? I would be worried about that too in your shoes. It's really not your job to take care of her but I understand the worry.

I had 2 male friends I used to be really close with, we were completely soulmates as far as friends go. 0 romantic or sexual undertones ever, they were just an autist and a soft boy duo that I trusted with my life. Towards the end of our friendship I wasn’t being a very good friend. Got depressed, stop being attentive, this led to a big blowout fight with one of them and then me cutting off both of them at the same time because I just was in a really bad place. The one I argued with blocked me, and I never responded to the other one’s attempts at contact afterwards. Haven’t spoken to either of them since.
I deeply regret this and miss both of them so badly, I’ve felt like there’s been a hole in my life without them. I want to reach out but I’m conflicted because I know they are a package deal, which they should be. I’m so happy they are still so close. But I’m worried about conflicting personality differences with the one I had the fight with, because it seems like he’s become a super coomer in the past few years. And I think it would just be a bad situation to reach out to the other friend and not reach out to the coomer.
I don’t really know how to handle this situation. I just really miss the friendship we all used to have. I’m still a little busy with my own personal life, I don’t know how much time I’d have to keep in contact. Would I just be hurting both of them reaching out when our friendship would probably just be a handful of texts and calls every now and then? I’m getting married at the end of the year, would it be incredibly weird to reach out around then and invite them to the wedding?

im wondering how you guys navigate sexual relationships when your guy wants it way more than you do? like i think i might be an asexual in denial because when im single i only need to do something every 6-8 months. but during the honeymoon phase im pretty sexually active. when the honeymoon period ends, i cant tell if im just like this or am i just unhappy? sometimes it feels like im being made to feel like im an unaffectionate, insensitive partner, and i feel pressured to perform sexually. has anyone dealt with this? how do you navigate something like that?

I'm probably not seeing the big picture and I should just tell this to my boyfriend, but I feel like I'm not a priority when I find out about my boyfriend's activities via social media instead of our text messages. Like I know he's never had a long term relationship before and he probably thinks all this stuff is boring to me so he'd rather just put it online and appeal to friends who he knows find certain things entertaining, but even if I don't give the reaction he wants, I still feel left out. I value closeness and I've been holding back and doing the same thing he does to try not to suffocate him, but I just feel like I'm only mirroring him to hopefully please him and I'm not being the self who desires closeness. I know some of my behaviors are due to my desire for closeness not being reciprocated, but how can I find this equilibrium where I can still tell my boyfriend anything I want without it turning into some game of cat and mouse?

Maybe you've lost attraction but I also think women generally have a lower libido.

So I dated a narcissist for about six months…in january he told me he met someone else in december and that she fits better to him. There are things about him that are now absolutely recognizable for me as narcissitic: love-bombing, devaluation, discard, etc. and the pretty much told me early on he was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. I have to say the cheating was pretty hurtful but he discarded me in a slow way always making it seem he might decide for me in the end. Some weeks ago he finally told me he can't meet me anymore and he decided for her. I'm still trying to understand everything that happened and on a logical level know it's better he's gone. Still I sometimes read old messages or check out his IG. He still likes my posts and story on IG which doesn't mean much since he's also still following other old aquaintances. But still I feel here and there he leaves breadcrumbs for me to see. Today I saw he started following some hashtags all of a sudden. One of the them is about better sex.

His day was in truth not that good, the persona he puts on social media is just a fraction of how things happened. He went into more detail about his colleague visit and told me what was upsetting him, obviously something he wouldn't put out there online.

And some time ago, when I agreed to be his gf and openly call myself his gf, he had tears in his eyes. It's not the first time, there were like two other situations, when I told him something nice or showed gratitude for something, he also had tears in his eyes

You should tell him to look at the big picture. He could be super romantic, but he needs to put things into perspective. He kind of sounds like me, already fantasizing how my Nigel would be a great father, but we've not even dated for half a year. When I'd get upset about not being able to see him as much as I'd like to, I'd result in focusing on these goals to be married in X amount of years. Your bf is likely anxiously attached, but do tell him to take things one day at a time, because reality is going to be difficult if he's not thinking of the little details. Is he saving up for marriage? Honeymoon? Can he afford to buy a house? Can he set aside funds to support childbirth medical costs? He needs to prioritize getting finances in place first before even thinking of marriage. It is truly nice of him to fantasize, but there's things he should start doing for himself right now to make it a reality.

every time i'm away from my boyfriend, i have obsessive looping thoughts about how best to break up with him and all the reasons we shouldn't be together. i fixate on all of his flaws / all of my personality defects that mean i shouldn't be in a relationship. but every time i'm with him, it's like all of the thoughts are just wiped away and i'm happy and carefree. we still bicker from time to time obviously but it's a reaction to something as opposed to just a constant negative internal monologue. is it normal to have constant nagging doubts about a relationship like this? are these intrusive thoughts or genuine concerns that just go away when i'm with him? i abstained from relationships for 5 years because they made me very obsessive / worsened my mental illnesses as a teen and i thought i would be okay with them now but i don't think i am. maybe my brain just isn't wired in a way where i can date people without completely going insane. how best can i break it off with him without hurting his feelings?

It’s strange because I initially believed that I didn’t like sex and figured that I would be the one that wouldn’t be able to orgasm, but I get there pretty much every time. With him, he gets tired and has to stop, and he assures me that it’s fine, but I still feel like it has something to do with me. Our sex is pretty vanilla and I often am unsure of what to do and I feel like this is adding to it. How can I get better? Are there ways I can practice being more sexually fulfilling? I just want to be as good for him as he is for me.

He watched/watches too much porn, he's broken.

It has nothing to do with you. Many young men have this issue now because they start watching porn and masturbating so early, they get used to the overstimulating images on the screen, start watching more and more extreme porn when the vanilla stuff gets boring and start gripping their dicks harder to be able to cum still. Then when they have sex with a real woman they can't cum because it's not as visually interesting as hardcore porn and the vagina doesn't compare to his tigh fist. If he wants to fix this he needs to stop jerking off and watching porn. Sadly not many men are willing to do this and actually prefer porn over sex. They also aren't usually honest about this issue so if you talk to him about this be prepared for him to deny it.

No. 386947

Like the other nonas mentioned, it most likely is porn usage that is causing this unless he has an underlying medical issue. Try to have an honest talk with him and explain your worries.

Give it some more time if he's just anxious, but it's likely he broke his dick from porn usage. Please don't be naive about this, it's a very widespread problem and guys are extremely good at hiding it and lying about their addiction.

Need advice on how to proceed w a friend of mine who has a history of empty promises. I want to move to their city and they swear to me they’d let me stay with them for a bit while I found my own place and footing, like it wouldn’t be anything to them. They’re even the one who brought it up and suggested it when I told them I wanted to move.
I have apprehensions because they’ve told me about wanting to go on vacations with me and even said specifics such as “yeah I plan to buy the tickets on Tuesday” and then suddenly Tuesday has come and they drop talking about it and it never gets brought up again. I wonder if there is a way to test if they’re legit before I do serious things like buy a ticket to their city without backup accommodation plans with the assumption they’d be true to their word. I’d have some money and even the connections of other people in the city to fall back on if they did fall through, but the disappointment of knowing that I knew better and having to turn around with all my shit in tow would eat me alive for a while. If I never go, though, I feel like I’ll always wonder “what if” and if I passed up a legit opportunity.

Most likely not your fault, most likely a porn/masturbation habit. Not only can it cause low libido but it can lead to getting conditioned to orgasm only one way with the hand, which means partnered sex becomes difficult to finish to. He can become normal if he commits to porn cleanse and doesn't give in to the urge to jerk off. Once that is eliminated, if you're still struggling to make it work then you can start thinking about what you're doing wrong, if anything at all.

My social anxiety is breaking down my relationship. I started asking for things to feel closer to him and now my brain is backtracking on it and yearning for more yet telling me I'm being too needy so I should stop asking and then going through this cycle of wondering if what I'm asking for is actually a need or something I ask for to fill this void of it not being met? I told him how my brain felt and all he could conclude is that I can't accept what he does, because he's juggling 4 jobs and then also this relationship and him trying to find more jobs to make ends meet. I told him I learned to accept what he does and I understand why he does it, but he's wondering if he's doing anything wrong and if he's not able to meet my needs. I just kept telling him I'm this way because I'm too afraid to even speak my mind.
We sat in my car for 3 hours talking, he's wondering if we should go on a break or keep trying, the thing is he doesn't want to anticipate me having a another breakdown for hours where he feels helpless. I told him I get why it'd be too much for him to handle, but I said the reality is that it's still going to happen, recovery isn't going to be as smooth as you'd hope for it to be. I started therapy last week because my behaviors in the past haven't been the best and I know I need more friends, but I'm still putting that onto him. He believes us sharing our whereabouts is almost too much that most married couples don't even communicate that often. Neither of us have experienced what a healthy relationship looks like through our years of being alive, but we both know what we're feeling now doesn't feel like it is. He said my worries almost seem obsessive and yeah he's right, I obsess over what could be right, I obsess of what things I could've said to him. I just want to be better.

Nonnies, is it wrong to not get married if you've been in a long term relationship for over 7 years? We are not religious, I have no desire to change my last name, I do not want children, so why should I get married? We have each other on life insurance and maybe legally in case one of us dies it would be a good idea if things were legally easier for money and assets. I'm entering my late twenties and I don't think I want to be with anyone else, but I still think of how easy it would be to leave if something changed between us vs the cost of divorce. In a strange way I view not getting married as winning because I am not submitting legally and continue to have independence in a sense? I've grown up watching horrible relationships within my family so that probably plays a role in all this too…

No. 387082

If you start sharing assets together like cars and houses and you support each other financially you should get married if you're committed anyway, because it offers some financial protections in a breakup or death situation. Sometimes it saves you a lot in taxes but that depends on specifics.

ok I broke up with him, it was sad but whatever, I‘ve been prepared for the break up for months before it happened already so I kind of moved on. my new problem is the new guy i‘m interested in.
I met up with my uni crush few days ago and it was so nice, he’s stunning and a really lovely guy ugh (nothing romantic or sexual happened, we just drank some beers at a bar). I really would love to spend more time with him but I have no idea how dating works lmao - my ex bf and I were just good friends for a few months before we got together but since I only see my crush every now and then I don’t know how to form a closer connection. Would it be weird if I just texted him that I find him cute and would love to spend more time with him or just ask him normal questions like how his weekend was kek. I‘m too fucking autistic for this shit but I want to fuck him topkek.
I feel like this would be way easier if he was a total stranger but he’s not, I‘ve known him casually for almost 2 years and I even dropped hints that I think he’s handsome during that time kek. I‘m just venting again, I wish I wasn’t autistic.

Nonnies I am thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend of over a year but I'm worried I'm making a huge mistake. I really care about him & am so happy to have someone like him in my life - he understands me in a way I feel no one else ever could, we have a huge amount in common, he makes me laugh and he is so supportive of everything I do. The issues stem from the fact that he's kinda autistic in ways that are very difficult to deal with. He has an obsessive interest in a particular humanities subject (that I also study), which he talks about incessantly no matter the situation (e.g. chilling with friends, at dinner with family, getting ready to go out). I can't stand hearing about it anymore. It turns the most casual of situations into serious conversations that draw me away from the people around me, and even though I've told him all of this he can't seem to help himself. In fact he accuses me of "hating" him or "not caring" about him when I say I am not in the mood for such a serious discussion, despite the fact that we talk about his interests very often. He's also very socially unaware and can be extremely rude. He tends to raise his voice when he's annoyed, which always frightens me. In particular he gets very annoyed if I misunderstand or mishear him, which I can't help. He shouts at people sometimes, dismisses people who don't care about things he has to say as stupid or vapid, and is generally very full of himself (calls himself a "genius" often). I am slowly coming to resent him, even if i still care about him very deeply. Breaking up with him feels like it would kill me but I am just so stressed and frustrated by his behaviour. The thought of spending the rest of my life with him is often a very frightening thought for me, even if we have our good moments (and the highs are extremely high). He is madly in love with me (his rudeness to me stems from unawareness rather than hate) and I know breaking up would destroy him. I have no idea what to do.

I've been having an ongoing problem with my live in boyfriend of several years. He constantly pressures me for sex but I have to say no because he literally keeps leaking shit into his underwear. He is diagnosed with IBS but refuses to take fiber daily. When he does take it the shitting stops. He has made me very sick with infections from this.

Lately he just asks, gets mad when I say no perhaps he should take his fiber so we can next time, and then he goes and masturbates secretly later. He bought this disgusting "fleshlight" that is really a lower torso with a vagina and a butthole to fuck. It made me feel sick when he showed it to me after he bought it. Like my stomach has a knot just thinking about it.

I know I should just leave him but I feel so bad today, he did it again last night. I don't think it's fair, I turned down other men who were really nice and looking back I regret not cheating on him. I feel like I'll never get to have sex with this man, and now he's so inconsiderate I don't really ever want to. I'm just so mad. I don't understand how literally shitting his fucking pants doesn't humiliate him into doing what he can. It's disgusting. I was going to tell him to go stay with his parents today but then he'll ghost me for days and I'll be frantic trying to figure out what's happening (I rely on him for transportation during the week). Sorry anons I already know it's beyond repair I just feel very down right now and had to say something to someone.

This like just fucked, right? What's wrong with him?

I have posted about him before! Since then I made an escape bag with my important papers and I've saved a bit of money. I don't have any friends near where I live and my parents are gone so it's been really hard trying to leave. You're right though, this is the same thing isn't it? He always says he'll do whatever but in the end nothing has improved and it's worse.

As far as leaving goes, I've been hitting up everyone I know trying to get help but no one is willing. I am about to ask my old pot dealer if she'll let me drive her car if I pay her, that's how desperate I am. Sometimes it just seems worse, I'm just trying to stay sane in the meantime, that's why I posted. I also kind of hoped he'd be cool until after summer, my plan was to visit my mom (she's in a nursing home far away) and it was more convenient with him in the picture. He'd probably ruin that anyway though if I'm being realistic. Thank you for listening I appreciate it so much. I can't talk about this with people irl.

On holiday with my best friend’s family. Me, her and her younger brother have been hanging out as a trio. Her parents are doing their own thing and her older sister’s bf joined us so her older sister is with him. My best friend didn’t want to leave her brother out so he’s hanging out with us.
He’s really attractive. He’s handsome and funny. He flirts with me a lot. I ignore it or play dumb and don’t flirt back but I’m losing it on the inside. My best friend noticed and told me he told her (months ago) that he liked me. She says she told him not to bother me as I had a crush on another guy at the time (that’s over now).
There are two problems. 1) he’s my best friend’s brother 2) he’s younger than me. I’m 24 and he’s 19.
We were at the beach today and were talking for hours. My best friend was sitting next to us but she was watching a show while sunbathing. It was like she wasn’t there. He’s so disgustingly handsome. I have never been attracted to a guy on this level before. Someone please tell me to get into reality and get over him. It’s kinda hard when he’s flirting with me everyday.
We went out tonight and a girl asked him for a dance and I felt weirdly jealous. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I tried to mention it to my best friend who told me “sometimes you have weird crushes, it’s normal”. What does that mean? She went off to dance too and now I’m sitting here alone. She did made a joke about us (me and him) being a couple the other day in front of him: I didn’t laugh because I was so shocked but they both laughed.
What do I do? I have 2 more weeks of this holiday left.

You're inevitably going to get banned by farmhands for unintegrated posting style, but if you're being real, break up/block him and never speak to him again wtf.

Also, while in theory a man wearing "feminine" clothing wouldn't be problematic, in actuality any man who has a FETISH for it is a massive creep and he is probably going to start identifying as some type of transgender.

I don't think that men who push their disgusting fetishes on women and make them uncomfortable treat them like a queen. He is incredibly pornsick and has already developed severely abnormal fetishes that can only get worse from here. Ddlg, diapers, and cross dressing is tranny territory. The thing with pornsick men like this is that it becomes much more extreme as they consume more porn. They can't get off to regular stuff, so they keep looking for more hard-core media to satisfy their needs. Please think about different ways to break up with him despite your vulnerable situation. You are a smart young woman who is focusing on studying to get a good career. Think about it like this: Do you want to marry him? Do you want this man to be around your children with his disgusting pedo tendencies? Would you do anything in your power to keep those kids safe? You have to protect yourself. Any man can do whatever you want and buy you things. You've already experienced one doing it for you, and there can be many more in the future. What matters is your mental health and wellbeing. I wish you all the best.

It might be painful to lose someone who's been in your life for that long, but you can absolutely find someone who is better for you in every way. Cut your losses now before you are in too deep. You deserve a guy who respects you and treats you like royalty and doesn't have awful perversions. There is nothing your current bf can do that would compensate for him liking the disgusting fetishes he has. He could've been rich and a perfect prince in every other way, but that wouldn't matter. He deserves to be ghosted or dumped instantly. If he was pretending to be normal for this long, he probably has even worse shit that he's still hiding from you.

I don't have a drivers license; that is the only thing stopping me from leaving. I've been offering everyone I can ask $100 an hour to practice driving but no takers. I've talked to dv shelters, doctors, therapists, abuse hotlines, police officers, the staff at the dmv, parents with teenage drivers and no one has any suggestions on where to practice driving in my state. I feel so trapped. My best friend said no, my aunt in another state said no. My boyfriend keeps insisting if I buy a car he'll teach me… but his name would be on the car since you can't buy a car without a licensed driver on the deed. I really fucked myself not learning to drive when I was in high school.

The other thing is when I do ask people for help or tell them my situation they look down on me for still being with him. I used to also think why do women stay with these weird creeps but now I get it, you just get isolated and cut off from life until shit hits the fan, no pun intended. I don't think I'll ever attempt another relationship after this one, being alone would be a relief compared to this.

ive been dating this guy for maybe 3 months and he knows i have serious self esteem issues. he and i both know im not the most attractive girl around. in some kind of attempt to make me feel better about this (i was feeling down about it yesterday) he told me he couldve dated more attractive women in the past but because he didnt click with their personalities he didnt, trying to say all that matters to him is personality (and why he wanted to date me).
while i get why he might think this would make me feel better, it has deeply hurt me. i know it's unrealistic to think i could be anybody's #1 - ive been told many times in my life that i am ugly - i just didnt want to hear it from the person i love the most. it hurts so bad nonas i almost dont know how to feel about him now. i know none of you will believe me but i think he is truly a very kind person and didnt mean to hurt me. i cant even face him anymore after that though. i wish he would just lie and say he didnt mean it

I'm thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend of several years. He doesn't take care of himself. He won't go to the gym, he won't learn to drive, he won't cut soda from his diet. He gets crippling headaches constantly and I've told him over and over again to go to the doctor and he doesn't. The only self-improvement he's doing is getting a degree (and he's broke because of it), meanwhile I'm out of school, working at my career, and have been working out for nearly a year now. He's very nice, doesn't want kids, doesn't look at porn, and we share friend circles which makes me stay but I'm honestly falling out of love with him. I can probably do better if I cut him loose, though the idea of being unable to find someone else who isn't porn-rotted is scary. Should I break up with him now or give him a chance but make it clear the relationship is over if he doesn't improve?

You can't really make an ultimatum of "you have to become a more impressive person or I'm leaving". You can say that if you want but it sounds ridiculous. You're just setting yourself up for false hope, procrastinating on breaking up with him by "working" on him, and arguments. If you don't like him, break the fuck up. It doesn't have to be that complicated.

Have you communicated this to him already? I would say tell him how you're feeling, that his behavior is causing you to fall out of love with him. See how he reacts, if he bitches and complains and tries to get you to pity him, leave. It's only worth giving him a chance if he plans on improving and doesn't make you do the heavy lifting. If he doesn't come up with any concrete plan and doesn't take action within in a couple of weeks, dump him.

in a tight spot and feeling like a retard about it. the job market for my field is in the shitter (senior positions only or incredibly dodgy companies) and i am seriously worried about finding a decent position in the next six months. i am also broke as a joke and dipping right into my emergency fund for rent and food. my boyfriend keeps telling me not to worry about money and that he'll support me while i look for a job, but relying on someone i'm not married to like that feels dangerous. should i take him up on the offer? we live together and after i left my previous job to finish my master's he slowly took over most of our joint payments except rent (he has said several times that he has enough money to pay the rent on our place in full). on the other hand, i also have family living in the area that i could ask for help while i'm job hunting. something about the situation makes me wary for the same reasons why i believe marriage is a losing proposition for most women, even if it would be a temporary arrangement and he's the furthest thing from shitty or abusive. am i just being dumb?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the support of your boyfriend for whatever reason stops, you can always fall back on that family member's support, right? If so, don't reject the help from someone who's actively offering you it. Use what you need to get by. And if not, it's not like using up your emergency funds just to prove you don't need his help isn't dangerous either.

I also have a long-term boyfriend, and at first he was kind of similar sounding to yours where he didn't take care of himself and basically was only working on getting a degree and felt "too tired" to do anything else. Eventually we ended up talking about it and basically I told him that I was concerned about how his health would deteriorate and it seems that got through to him because now he has been making an effort to exercise, eat better, and lose weight in general because he says he doesn't want to die early due to health issues so that he can be here for me instead. This has been going on for about a year now and he has really made progress. He doesn't go to the gym (and I can't fault him for that because I don't either), but he will go out on walks with me and sometimes we'll even spend a whole day out walking at a park. He also hasn't fully cut out sodas or energy drinks, but he has transitioned away from them with 0 calorie options (which I know that's not exactly healthy either, but lifestyle changes do take a while).
I'd recommend talking to him and telling him how you're feeling and maybe approaching it from the angle of you being concerned for him.

>asks the same questions 15 times in a row because he didn’t absorb the answer
>thoughtless and inconsiderate, but starts crying if you use the wrong tone with him

>substance abuse

>career never goes anywhere because he gives up on everything easily

No need to cut off contact, whether the friendship is completely asexual and platonic or romantic and flirty.
Always keep a backup guy or two around when you’re dating a moid. If you went through a rough patch with your bf (and I’m assuming it’s his fault because it almost always is the moids fault) then it could very well happen again and lead to a breakup and then you’ll have no one else to talk to if you cut off the other guy and will have to go through the talking phase all over again. It’s always best to have a guy you know on a deeper level already.

Don’t feel guilty about it either because men would do the exact same if they could (and do when they can)

If you end up dating, just make sure you make it clear to him that you expect him to work on it and that you won't let him use it to excuse shitty behavior. It can be annoying at times but I have told my Nigel that if he can't act right I want him to get a therapist and actually work on skills and coping.

Highly doubt, you shouldn't believe him unless you have a lot of proof.

If you liked him enough to live with him I would say you should have an honest discussion about how you can't agree to cohabitate and share financial responsibilities with him until he has an income himself and can contribute. Point blank, end of discussion.
Since it has literally been two months and it's way too soon for this and he is definitely hoping to use you, I think you should just break up with him. You shouldn't even entertain this. You're not gonna adopt an adult man as a live-in dependent, jesus christ.

It really is stressful dealing with a boyfriend who can't move forward and it is my mistake for letting him make the calls while being emotionally unstable. He sent me a screenshot and I saw my texts are put on silent. Like all context leading to this has cancelled out. I feel like I am too much for him. I'm not a priority for him, my well-being doesn't matter, I'm an enemy to him. Like, is that what you view as a girlfriend? Your partner? You're going to block her out of your way until YOU can deal with it? I feel like he's only repeating his past.
His only example of a relationship is his parents, where his dad was pathetic and let his mother get beat. Her needs weren't met. She turned into an alcoholic and my boyfriend would find his mom in the kitchen crying. His grandparents would kick his mom out and she'd have to camp in front of department stores overnight.
He initiated the breakup and then he asked if we could continue being together a day later, and I allowed it because he actually listened to my wants and needs I've been having difficulties expressing. Like what does he really want? Someone he loves and cares for? Or just someone following him with the title of a girlfriend? He always worries that he's not good enough and if we're okay and if I'm happy, but like.. these questions should come from deep within and ask himself. What is HE doing to be better? What is HE doing to make things okay? What is HE doing to tend to my happiness? He needs to hold himself accountable like I hold myself accountable, too.
My boyfriend wants to be with me, but is anxious of me because he believes I'm going to repeat the past, but what's really happening is HE is the one repeating the past.

We got along super well and really liked each other, i’m glad i met her tbh. my boyfriend also got along really well with her but now it’s making me insecure. he’s my first boyfriend (we’ve been together for 5 years) and i never considered myself jealous until now. they're in voice chat (just them, although sometimes other people join in, but it’s mainly just the two of them) ALL DAY. almost every day. from noon to late at night. my social skills are bad and talking to other people is very draining so i don’t join them a lot. it’s also making me a little jealous that’s he’s already opened up to her about stuff that he had told me was very hard for him to talk about so he hadn’t told anyone but me for years. he’s also be talking less with me. he’s still affectionate and everything, but it feels like he’s more focused on the call than our messages so they’re usually quick and we haven’t had the long conversations we used to have. i don’t have anything against the girl, and actually look forward to talking to her more, but even if i did, i still feel like they’re doing it way too much. am i overreacting

I wanted to highlight these particular points of yours so that you can really focus in on them. Your LDR boyfriend is spending more time with another girl and isn't giving you enough time and attention, so isn't that a red flag to you? To me and maybe some other nonas, it sounds like he is really enjoying her company and the novelty of a new girl giving him attention all day long. Are you sure you want to stay with your discord boyfriend when all he does is play video games with some other woman/people than you? Why don't you confront him about all of this?

I'll be blunt with you because my relationship used to be an ldr so I'm speaking from experience and not as your average farmer that hates on ldrs (which they're not wrong about, for the most part), your relationship is pretty much over and you seem to be high on copium. If you haven't met irl already after this incredibly long time, hanging out in voice is the highest level of intimacy you two can share. The fact that he's choosing to spend all of his time with another girl is fucked up and he's clearly emotionally cheating on you. The fact that, after five years, he hasn't opened up to you in the way he opened up to this girl in this short amount of time should be enough of a sign. Just break up, seriously. Your bf should have saved enough money in five years to visit you and should have planned his future around you by this point already. Five years is way too long and this is a lost cause.

Please no "break up with him", I'm genuinely curious if any nonnas have had success in fixing men through trial and error and getting them to do your bidding.

thank you. yesterday was the breaking point for me. they were on call from 1pm to 3AM. i woke up at 8:30am and they were already in vc. he would never even answer my messages at that hour. i guess i tried to look over all of this because 1) he’s my first relationship (?) and 2) this last year i really considered going over with him now that im financially independent. he had also asked me a couple times how i felt about that going forward. i can’t help but feel a little guilty that i denied him and understand why’d he give up and go for someone that’s closer to him + seems to have connected with him like that

As someone who was once young and also obsessed with that game, he MIGHT not be.

If you're both young, things can be hard. Young people don't get to experience too many things.

You should talk to him about it and if he doesn't give a genuine response that is backed up with action, you need to drop him.

Hope this finds you well.

Upset Valentine's anon here.. You were all right. He told me last night that he visited a prostitute twice a few years ago, and that he never got tested for STDs after. He's been hiding this from me for a year and the only reason he ended up telling me is because he was word vomiting statements like
>You have other people you care about right? I'm afraid of letting you down.
and I questioned him because that was incredibly worrying. At first he gave some other bullshit explanation but I called him on it until he told me what he was really talking about. I'm glad that I never ended up meeting him now. I'm going to break up with him the next time I talk to him, once I figure out how to say it. I think I'm going to just stay single.

I downloaded a dating app because that is were people do all of their dating stuff nowadays (I've only ever been on two dates before and that was in highschool) and I'm scared. I don't have any experience whatsoever since I was completely focused on my degree and my job for the past 4 years. The moids all seem to be normies on this app but they are all super athletic and like traveling and festivals and concerts and big dogs which is all stuff that I either don't have any experience or interest in. It makes me feel kind of nervous since I don't have a great hobby that I can talk about or show off.
I already discarded the ones that don't want a relationship (it says so in their profiles) and matched with a few of them. Do you guys have any tips on how to interact with the moids? Should I be worried?

How much time is appropriate after a breakup to get back into dating? I was in a 5 month relationship and even my therapist is saying I've been making a lot of effort in attempting to create healthy communication throughout, he just didn't feel like it was worth any effort or going out of his way to keep it from working. I'm still going to therapy to resolve some childhood trauma so I do have someone I can touch bases with on a weekly - semi-weekly basis for a bit.
In your opinion, how soon is too soon even if your side of the previous relationship was the secure part, but eventually changed into a fearful avoidant?

He also answered the questions about shower sex and helping partner reaching orgasm being important, actual BS. Lies, all lies. I had to teach him how to finger me and he was so squeamish because I was wet, he only did it once. Don't believe what a man puts up on social media, it's an image they want to construct.

I've already whinged about this in the vent thread but I feel so angry and upset, nonnies. I think I've missed my chance with somebody I really liked because I waited too long to confess how I feel. we were friends with benefits and I realised I was getting too attached and pulled away, ended up back with my ex because he guilted me into giving him another chance. I realised I actually have real feelings for my friend and ended it with my ex as soon as I figured that out. I told my friend how I feel and he said he had felt the same way and was too scared to say anything and was really cut up about me pulling away. now he's told me that just starting to see someone else and feels all kinds of confused after my confession and has asked me to leave him be for a few days whilst he figures it out.

he's not ignoring me because of the game though, he’s ignoring me because he’s been hanging out nonstop with a girl we met in the game. they do play a lot but i didn’t really mind that much, since sometimes i play with them too. the thing is that they’re still calling and texting each other all day everyday. in fact, as of writing this they’ve been in voice call for 5 hours now. guess i sound jealous but i wouldn’t feel ok doing what he's doing.

I matched with a dude and we started talking about the books we like to read. I thought it was going really well, since he responded in very long messages. He asked me about my favorite books and I said horror, fantasy and romance and gave a few examples of the stuff I could recommend. It took him a whole day to respond to my message. Apparently he doesn't really read novels or anything like that because he only likes non-fictional books. He said that he needs to learn something from the books he is reading and that he is reading a book from Cicero right now. I thought that his response was kind of mean since I wanted to find a common hobby or interest. I also like to read non-fictional books and it might be childish to feel this offended but putting down the stuff I like the most because you think yours is better or more 'worthy' is really mean.

He ended the conversation by saying 'I'll take youe advice and get some bitches.'

A day later, he drunk texted me, wishing me a safe flight. I said thank you and he proceeded to tell me to go fuck myself and that he had to 'scapegoat' as an asshole so I knew I didn't care about him.

I'm fine with not being romantically involved – I'm just hurt about these one sided mind games he's been pulling. I slept with him because I felt that we had a mutual foundation of trust and respect. (Retarded of me, I know).

I just started dating an ADHD moid a month ago and I’m already absolutely miserable and ready to leave.

He’s an extreme porn addict, like literally wanks for 5-6 hours or more a day. It’s disgusting. Once he pops his addies/vyvanse all he wants to do is goon. His only other hobby is going on 4chan and watching YouTube videos. He literally doesn’t do anything else. It’s so strange.

He also negs me constantly then plays dumb and pretends he didn’t know he said something wrong. He literally links me onlyfans whores and porn videos and says stuff like ‘I wish you would wear this lingerie and dye your hair the same color as her, can you do your makeup like hers’ etc. I’m met with constant criticism, and he blames it on his impulsiveness and says he blurts things out sometimes and can’t help it, when in reality he’s just being mean and rude.

He also leaves me on read for hours because he ‘forgot’ to get back to me, but will obsessively spam me messages if I don’t reply to him within 20 minutes. I’ve never met such an irresponsible lazy manchild in my entire life. His mom pays for everything too. He doesn’t work.

My bf was in a relationship with a much older woman who had a lot of sexual dysfunctions. As far as i know, because i havent asked specifics enough, she didn't really like regular intercourse and instead was into things like dressing him up in women clothes and making him pretend to be a child. He's told me he didn't like any of it and looks back at it as abusive. He has/had abandonment issues and said he did it to keep her happy and she would regularly beg for it. I think he was around 19 when they started dating and she was 30. It was mostly online though they met up in person multiple times and did all of those things in real life.

I was going through his closet with his permission and found a girls schoolgirl uniform costume andm y immediate thought was it belonged to another ex which annoyed me, so i told him he has things in his closet i dont want to see and he should pack it up instead. He then told me it was from the aforementioned ex and he must have forgotten it was there. I feel grossed out. I find it really unattractive to know he did that but was able to view it from a different perspective and put it out of my head given the abuse aspect, having to see it in person labled "girls school uniform" in his closet feels different though.

I'm a normie in a lot of ways even if I know all of the weird femboy anime internet sex dysfunctions exist. His exes being weird anime coomers makes me feel alienated and confused. I've expressed multiple times that I feel we don't make sense together and that he belongs with a semi-autistic woman who dresses like a weeb and watches anime.
Basically the opposite of me. I feel liek oftentimes I say those things out of anger, like I feel inadequate because I'm not someone like that and maybe men who date women like that would find me lacking. I've only ever dated normie men, like the kind that only have conventional masculine traits and are highly social and well-adjusted by societal standards.

I'm not sure how to process this right now. He's really sweet, considerate and gentle. He's not a coomer and doesn't watch porn (I'm sure of this.)

I’m repulsed by anything to do with troons but if what you’re bf is saying is true then I do have some sympathy. 19 and 30 is a pretty big age gap and I know girls of 18-19 who dated older men and got pressured into doing disgusting shit that they hated and regret. It is possible your bf was groomed by this woman because he was lonely and desperate and also had issues like you said.

Holding onto the uniforms and stuff is a bit of a red flag, but it’s possible he genuinely either forgot it was there, was holding onto it as a king of trophy to prove to himself that he managed to have sex (yes a lot of moids are this desperate and need that validation). If he truly doesn’t express any tranny instincts or interests now or in the future then I would say it was just a stupid sexual learning curve that needs to be left in the past. However if he expresses any kind of tranny behavior you need to dump his ass. See how he reacts to you throwing the uniform away to test him.

As someone who wasted 6 years of my life wrangling, mommying and nursing an ADHDemon scrote, I’m telling you now, you need to run.

What you need to understand is that when you’re in a relationship with an ADHD man, you don’t actually exist. Like toddlers they have no sense of object permanence, so if he can’t physically see you then he won’t even remember you exist. And when you are there aka you exist, you exist solely to coddle him, indulge his every whim, listen to him talk without saying anything about yourself. You will know absolutely everything about him but he will know absolutely nothing about you and won’t care to ask. And even if you tell him, he’ll forget. That’s if he’s taken his meds that day and is being somewhat functional and pleasant.

If he’s off his meds, be prepared to interact with a grouchy, irritable, messy pig who gets offended over everything, says the meanest most passive aggressive shit you’ve heard in your life, can’t get out of bed, has no interests besides doomscrolling and leaves cumstains on the sheets, crumbs all over the keyboard and his skidmarks/whole shits in the toilet bowl.

Don’t even think about having kids with an ADHDemon because you’re immediately going to be a de facto single mom. If you’re lucky enough for him to turn up at the birth, he will forget your kids birthdays, he’ll forget to pick them up from school, he’ll forget to cook dinner, take out the trash or take the food out of the freezer, and essentially direct every single household and childcare responsibility to you. Even if you manage to get him to partake in some chores, with his weaponized helplessness he will do it so badly that you end up having to do it over anyway. You can expect another 20-30 years of this before you finally get divorced. He’s constantly bored so he will likely be talking to and trying to meet up with other women the whole time.

You will be doing literally everything to take care of your biological child and another dependent adult child too. It will be hell. And the worst part is, kids eventually grow up, but ADHD men don’t.

In short, it’s his world and you’re just living in it (for a while).
When he’s done lovebombing you, his constant neglect, bluntness and thoughtlessness will impact your self esteem and outside of pestering you for sex when you least want it, don’t expect any shows of appreciation or validation.

There’s a ton of women who also discussed their experiences with ADHD moids and it ain’t pretty.

What I recommend to nonas who find it hard to leave (unfortunately only working for those who aren’t living with their SOs) is to find an excuse to create temporary physical distance. Going on some sort of short trip is ideal but understandably not feasible for most. Just make it a point to NOT see the person you know deep down is toxic for at least a week while maintaining minimal (if any) contact and see how much better you feel. Then after you reject their first proposal to meet up, in my experience you have so much momentum and are feeling better to the point where rejecting the rest becomes easier.

Sorry if this advice is on par with telling a homeless person to just go to the house store and buy a house. I’m remembering how many toxic situationships of yore I found much easier to break off after being removed from the typical “routine.”

I've been dating this guy I really like for about 3 months now and we just made it official over the weekend, but post-BF/GF label it's been giving me insane amounts of anxiety even though it's only been a couple of days. I just feel really inadequate and like I don't know how to interact with him fully comfortably because we're wildly different, and I hate this feeling of apprehension, or already seeing very subtle differences in the way he used to send me messages VS when we just started talking. It's a little stupid but this is my first time dating someone who's not really 'online' and having grown up online I'm finding it hard to interact with him as those are my base interactions for the most part. I'm sad and feel a little stupid because I really like him but my defense mechanism keeps screaming 'it won't work out' to me. Any nonnas experience anything similar?

More of a vent but my bf tried to troon out years ago and I told him that I'd break up with him if he did, and since then he seemed to accept he isn't a troon and is fine with being a gnc male and seemed to come to terms with it and accept himself. Felt like he was just a gnc male that fell for propaganda and got confused when he was younger, and this is also what got me to peak on trans stuff (not that I ever really believed it, but still). However, despite this he still gets butthurt anytime I bring up anything trans related because he (somehow) wasn't really peaked on trans shit and still supports it even if he no longer wants to troon out himself and knows my views. He is one of those people who thinks we should be "nice" to people and just let them do whatever they want otherwise you're a bigot, and so on.I just feel like I'm walking on eggshells and have to constantly avoid any sjw topics since his only response is to either ignore me when I talk about the topic or start arguments with me over it and get triggered rather than just being able to have a normal discussion. And it just sucks because I don't like how I feel like I have to censor myself around him, and I end up feeling like he doesn't really respect or appreciate my opinions or views and seems to believe I'm just "misguided", and I'd rather he could appreciate my views and my intelligence instead of thinking I'm a retard. It also doesn't make sense to me how he doesn't understand I'd feel this way on trans stuff when him almost trooning out nearly killed our relationship. Another thing is, he's always been more of a stoic silent type, but it's getting to me how it just feels like I'm talking to myself a lot of the time. But at the same time, I also don't have anyone else and he's the only attractive man that's ever liked me, and I can admitedly be kind of an autist. I also would never want to date ever again if I broke things off with him since I'm honestly tired, have low self esteem and feel cynical of men as a whole. I don't feel like I could find someone this attractive with similar hobbies to mine that also wasn't pro gender shit lol. And I feel this way about most of my friends too minus the attractive part, and it fucking sucks. Idk.

This is both a rant and a vent but I'm also wondering if any nonnies have been in a similar spot and can maybe offer some advice on what helped them. I'm dating a really lovely, kind guy and we have a very long history together. He's a safe person for me, and would never EVER be the type to hurt me. We haven't had sex in a while, and while a lot of it can be boiled down to us going through a rough patch after major life changes/adjustments I realised I've been avoiding being intimate with him all together. We spoke about it last night because he tried to initiate and I rejected him, and he was fine with it but it made me really anxious. We talked about it, and I realised through talking with him that I still have a lot of ptsd from an ex boyfriend who raped me. I had been raped before, but not by a partner, and didn't realise how that factor would affect me in a different way. It's weird that I hadn't connected the dots because I've been getting flashbacks about the rape for the last few months and just waved it away as my mind fixating on it for some reason. It happened years ago so I thought I had moved past it.

I know now that being close with the person I'm sleeping with terrifies me. My ex did what he did in a way where it felt like he was so overwhelmed with his desire for me that he didn't stop when I said no, like he couldn't control his urges. So now whenever my current boyfriend expresses any desire for me my brain goes into alert mode and I get really anxious. Through talking to him about it he now knows and is more than willing to be patient with me.
It makes so much sense now, and why I've been so afraid to get close to anyone I was sleeping with. Part of me feels really bad, I feel so fundamentally broken. When I was single I couldn't wait to have a partner again, thinking intimacy would come so much easier with someone I was safe with and loved. Someone I could fuck all the time, someone who respected me and my body. But now I just clam up. When my boyfriend and I first got together I was so horny and we had sex all the time, and it feels like the closer we've gotten the more I've pulled away and become uncomfortable at the thought of sex. I've lost all my drive, I don't even think about it anymore.

I feel bad for my bf who loves me dearly, loves pleasing me and I've been so stone cold with him. I wish I could get my drive back and wish I didn't dread sex. Every time it gets there my brain just goes into warning mode. Anyone else experience something similar? Also therapy is unfortunately out of my budget, hence posting on here.

it sounds like he still may want to troon out and doesn't really agree with you, he too seems scared of ending the relationship. especially with finding a woman willing to date him if he trooned out, because he complied with not transitioning. this is a huge deal and he may very well still resent you for it. your boyfriend thinks you're a bigot regarding something he wanted to do himself.

How do I fucking kill my libido as a woman? I am already on antidepressants and I dont wanna take the pill cause I am struggling tomaintain healthy weight as is.
My man only wants sex like once in half a year. But we have insane chemistry and I love himm very much, and he is one that keeps me connected to this world at all, without him I do not want anything from life at all. I used to live in a complete half dead limbo for 10 years before I met him because nothing could reach out to me. My life with him would be perfect if I JUST didnt want sex. This is so burdnensome.

Girl, if sex is what you need, then sex is what you need. Don't try to fix yourself or your moid, you're becoming codependent on him. He's not sexually able to fulfill your needs and it's making you feel unloved. You need to be with someone who can provide sex to you because obviously you are craving the release of oxytocin and your man is too stuck in whatever trauma he has to do that. He's not on the same page as you and he doesn't care enough to make some sacrifice to inconvenience himself and get help. I'm sorry nonnie, but complaining isn't going to change him, you wishing away your natural instinct to have sex with someone you are romantically close to, won't change the reality of what's at hand. Either cope by masturbating or stop wasting time with this moid who cannot fulfill this love you need.

Yeah, I've considered that too, that he still might want to troon out or is lying to me just to keep me from breaking up with him, especially since I don't think he believes he has that many options (just like me) and I'm the first woman he's ever dated. Over the years it's become kind of hard to tell because ever since he realized he didn't have to troon out to be gnc, he grew his hair out more and seems to feel better about how he looks, refers to himself as male and whenever I mention males he feels included or shares his perspective, and talked to me about how he doesn't feel like he relates to trans people after thinking about it more (and he just said this totally unprompted by me) even if he supports them and how he didn't think men were allowed to be gnc or feminine. So this makes me feel confused as to if he still wants to troon out or not, since he seems to have this understanding but still gets mad whenever I bring up troons or say it's a regressive ideology, which is strange to me when he acknowledges he himself was a victim of their propaganda and that it misled him. I feel like it could also be because he knows a lot of trans and gendie types and might feel like I'm offending them, or something. I do think he sees me as a bigot which sucks and it actively puts distance between us, but it's honestly a two way street. On one hand I see him as naive and lost some attraction to him due to him even considering trooning out and having these views that I consider homophobic and misogynistic (which he didn't have when we first met), and on the other, he sees me as, well, a bigot who hates the poor wittle gender people. So I do feel like there's built up resentment but probably more so from my side actually, since it bothers me how I can't just talk about whatever I want with him, and I suffered a lot at the time when he told me he wanted to troon out, even if he never ended up doing it and apologized to me many times I feel like I never fully got over it, and it doesn't help that he doesn't denounce troon shit or still capes for it. In his case it feels like he doesn't care as much even if he sees my opinions as "wrong" and kinda just wants to avoid the subject and talk to me about other things. He still seems to enjoy my company whenever the subject is something else and committed to me in general. I think he probably sees it like having a "bigoted" family member who you still like outside of those views. It's difficult because I do care for him and don't really want to break up over something like this, but I also like having the freedom to talk about anything I want. I'm in a similar situation with my friends where a lot of them drank the koolaid and I can still enjoy their company, but it makes me feel shitty that I can't ever say how I feel on gender stuff since they'd probably hate me for it and probably just cut me off unlike my bf.

This reads like a lot of coping. The fact that you have this resentment towards him and can't be fully open with him is a red flag, isn't it? I know that couples don't have to agree on every single thing, but if you don't share similar values and aren't able to be free with communicating important issues that matter to you then it doesn't seem like a great relationship. You said yourself that you feel like you talk to yourself a lot, so what fun is it to have a moid who can't hear you out AND can't talk with you about issues that concern you? Are you really happy walking around eggshells around some moid that's attractive and can barely talk with you?

You're speaking from a place of believing you have no value. You deserve to have sex with someone.

I haven't watched porn in over a year and I still have sex and masturbate often, the only thing that's changed is I'm content with vanilla sex now. And while yes cheating is not the right way to go about it, you ended up crying because you are still attaching yourself to someone who can not love you completely. You're minimizing this part of yourself by trying to focus on his good qualities, but there's still this quality he lacks that you desire.

That is literally not possible, and implying that it is does no good at all, you are basically pushing me to be left with a bucket full of holes. He checks more boxes than any other moid could ever hope to. Lacking in sexual drive is the least offensive thing a man can do in a relationship. But aside from him just being an amazing dude, you need to consider that I have actual assburgers syndrome, that I have never had any friends, never connected even to my own family and have spent most of my youth just living in my head. A person I can actually interact with consistently, not even talking about romance, is like one in a million.

The only reason why I am doing that is because others are stirring the conversation into the theme of his qualities.
The point is, I am not leaving and it is not up for discussion. I do not care what others think about what he lacks or whatever.
Therapy is not emotional support and is absolutely pointless thing. I would know as a person who have been dragged around by doctors my whole life and have an official diagnosis.They cannot fix anything if your problem is real, only put a bandaid on a broken bone.
He however actually helped me to fix my life. I used to just live in my head, now I have career, hobbies, and I see myself as beautiful. I am not afraid to actually be present in the world.
> yet apparently tried to cheat on him is a huge red flag and it doesn't seem like you are actually really in love
I tried to find a solution to the sex problem, there isn't much else to it. It didn't work so it was striked out of the list. That was after he did his own attempts to increase libido.
And it was my mom who recommended me to a find a lover.

There's so many men in the world and i feel you're young enough to continue searching for a man who can completely fulfill you.

Stop hanging onto this man because your bucket with him has this huge hole in it that cannot be repaired. Women do like sex they enjoy sex.

As far as I am aware this term refers to pairs in which one partner is addicted, while the other becomes intertwined with their addiction, trying to fix their addictions. That is not quite the case here, even if my attachment is not completely healthy. But my life without having this outlet for my emotions is not something I want to deal with at all. I don't want to go back THERE. Being with him taught me what being alive feels like at all.

>There's so many men in the world and i feel you're young enough to continue searching for a man who can completely fulfill you.

Again I don't believe that not because other good men don't exist, but because connection and bond that I have is something intangible that can't really be replicated. If I will be left to my own terms right now, I will just crawl back into myself. Because it is so abstract and intangible there is no actual cues as to how to "search" for it. I did not search for him in fact, he fell into my lap like character from anime would.

You have the ability to see your life in a positive sense now, you're not going to go back "there" if that's what you're afraid of. You have the mental tools to not regress. Your bond with him is not unique. He's likely a very gentlemanly type who respects you enough to show you how he copes with difficult situations. You can find another secure man who wants to have sex with you nonna. You wishing your libido wasn't so high is you losing a sense of yourself because it doesn't match him. If he cared for your sexual needs, he'd at least sexually touch you or give you oral even when he's not wanting to do the act of sex. In this case, he is responsible for your emotional well-being because he can provide sexual satisfaction for you as a romantic partner. Can he do that?

Except it is because I never felt anything towards anybody before, and he entered my life when I was 25 already and have met enough people through social institutions. I've been on plenty of dates too, and if I judged my life based on times before him I would identify as aromantic. But with him, something suddenly clicked. He isnt even extraordinarily attractive physically, however everything about him, every move and word felt it was custom sculpted(by higher powers) just for me.
>You wishing your libido wasn't so high is you losing a sense of yourself
I don't see it this way, because I never considered my high libido a good thing. Its extremely annoying and it is preventing me from being a good and rational person.

But he still did it for you, yes? Did he enjoy knowing he could help you out, knowing that he can still sexually satisfy you when he doesn't need to be? It's okay to only focus on you. It's not a bad thing. It can be considered selfish, but it's your satisfaction that matters too.

I’m so sorry nona. I just dumped my porn addict ex. It was all too much. He was jerking off sometimes 12-14 times a day, had tons of terabytes of porn downloaded to multiple drives. He was completely obsessed with trying to bimbofy me too (an aesthetic I hate) and basically tried to manipulate and change me into being his full time sex doll, forcing me to do things I was deeply uncomfortable with, getting off on violating my boundaries etc. My head is still spinning from how low I watched myself sink. I have no idea what advice to give you right now except to please learn from this mistake and never repeat it again. I would say be firm with your boundaries and personal preferences: never let a man influence or dictate the way you should look or act: they don’t even respect you for it if you agree anyway. The happiest and most healthy marriages I know are where the woman completely refuses to take any advice from her moid and is completely confident in her own decision making process. Trust that you know best, establish what you find acceptable and unacceptable and don’t compromise in future no matter how much you want him in your life. You are the prize, not him. He should be the one begging at your feet for you to look twice at him. There are billions of other men out there and plenty of them will take you as you are.

Definitely relatable. I now kind of get the ick when a man expresses wanting to be in a relationship with me because I know what it entails. The talking stage, him trying to impress me, sexual tension, being romanced etc is always so much more fun and sexy. I hate the way the compliments and ass kissing dry up when a moid knows he’s locked you down as his own. Maybe I’m a bit of a narcissist but I really think the idea of settling into a boring relationship with a complacent moid who treats you like a buddy and thinks he can say anything to you and treat you how he wishes because he’s got you now is just awful. The dating stage is always superior, moids always behave better when they think they might lose you.

LMAO. This. Never believe a word moids say. ALL men watch porn. The ones who protest that they don’t are often the worst, too. And if you show even the slightest hint of shaming him or disliking porn, he will just hide it from you and get off on deceiving you about it, and you will help make him sneakier. If anything you should just pretend and say that you love degenerate porn yourself and trick him into confessing what he’s into so you can suss him out faster and dump him if necessary, that’s what I always do.

nta but wow, this happened to be too. my ex was pornsick and he would always try to get me to wear crop tops and really short shorts, even though he knew I didn't like showing a lot of skin. if we ever went shopping, that's always what he wanted to buy for me.
now he's a troon that's skinwalking my style (i'm goth) but also calling himself a "bimbo". even dyed his hair the same color. that made me grossed out and i tried to change my style, but it didn't feel like me and eventually i learned that my style is mine and i was dressing like this way before some degenerate decided to copy me. he should change, not me.

That sounds really rough and I feel like it's normal for you to be anxious about your situation, but you shouldn't beat yourself up over it. You're not fundamentally broken. You're just reacting in a normal way to traumatic experiences you never deserved to go through, your rapists are the only ones who are fundamentally broken people, not you. It might be a trauma you carry, but it doesn't mean you can't heal over time, even if you haven't yet or thought you did but it's still affecting you, etc. Also, the way I see it, if your bf was the kind of guy to get super upset about you not having sex for a while or being reluctant, especially after something as traumatic as that, then he wouldn't be the guy for you. You need someone who's willing to be patient with you as you heal. It seems like a good sign that he's willing to be patient with you after you two talked about it. Maybe you can try to reassure him it's not his fault and be intimate in smaller ways, so you can eventually build your way up to feeling safe while having sex again.

He is always willing to help. But its not a matter of focusing on yourself, pushing people into sexual acts when they do not want it themselves is rape. And its immoral, it does not feel good for me.

Sorry for slightly graphic post nonas, I was writing this in the fantasies thread and then I realised it was more something I needed advice on.

Do other nonas have a problem with relaxing when things are "done" to them?
I love eating my gf out, I could literally stay down there all day. When I'm doing stuff to her, I'm so turned on by her reactions and the feeling and the taste and smell of it all. It's like the best thing in the world (felt the same way towards men when I used to get with them)
But when she attempts to do stuff to me, I get nothing from it. Again this was the same with men, it's like as soon as my clothes are off I lose all arousal.
We've been dating like a month now (been having sex for longer) and I think the last time she went down on me was November. I think she can sense it makes me uncomfortable. But I don't understand why it makes me uncomfortable? Is it just that I don't like being vulnerable? I find it almost impossible to come in front of other people. I can get horny just fine, I just can't follow through with the pleasure.
Is there a way to fix my brain so that I can actually enjoy receiving for once?

First, you should take this to the sex advice thread then you wouldn't have to apologize for graphicness.
My brief advice is to make sure you tell your girlfriend what's going on in your head before you break her heart and make her think you hate her, she can definitely tell you're not enjoying yourself. As for you, you need to learn to relax and trust. After you talk with her, start with things over the clothes or doing it in the dark if that helps. Whatever you do to get over this block, just make sure you talk to her so she's on the same page.

No. 391033

are you a shy person or do you have any kind of body image issues? that can make it difficult to relax during intimacy. it could also just be that you're more into giving than receiving and there's nothing inherently wrong with that if you and your gf are both getting enjoyment out of it.

I have another suggestion but don't want to come across as suggesting you try something kinky, but a blindfold for one or both of you could help you focus on the sensations and not how you look or how embarrassed you are or whatever the hangup is. As a temporary thing. I had body issues when I was younger and it honestly helped me to climax if I covered my eyes, like it helped me get out of my head about what I looked like and just feel pleasure. Your milage may vary, I imagine depending on your trust in your partner a blindfold could make you more nervous. If you were with a guy I would say put the blindfold on him.

This. When dumping a moid, never ever explain what it was that made you dump him. Always keep him questioning himself (moids are fucking shallow idiots so usually they think they reason you dumped them is because their dick was too small or they weren’t handsome enough, which are good negging material but still) you should never tell a man who you dumped him in terms of bath behavior because he will just use that to become sneakier and hide it better from the next woman who comes along. Not only that but even when you criticize moids characters, they’ll just turn it back on you and blame you anyway, so it’s pointless to try and rehabilitate them or give them a reality check.

My ADHD ex bf was like this too. I’d be really tired when I came home from work (he larped as a ‘househusband’ and really did nothing the whole time while I worked) and I’d need to sleep, but he’d tell me I need to wake up in 30 minutes so we can watch a movie he really wanted to see together and eat the ‘dinner’ he’d made. So I’d sleep for 30 minutes and wake up, still groggy, and then he’d suddenly say he was really tired and needed a 15 minute nap too and he’ll finish dinner in a little while, and then would end up popping a sleeping pill without telling me and go unconscious for like 6 hours. No dinner, no movie. I’d end up having to go make myself something to eat on top of working and being sleep deprived.

After a while of endless similar behaviors I got so sick of it all and dumped him, and don’t regret it for even a minute, even though I was wildly in love with him at the time.

Being in a relationship with someone like this is like an endless series of them trolling you. Sometimes you wonder if they’re doing it just to annoy/spite you, but the weaponized incompetence and lack of self awareness is unfortunately just part of the ADHD moid mindset (ADHD women usually aren’t as bad because women are conditioned to be accommodating and considerate, ADHD moids are usually either coddled by a mommy who does everything for them, or were badly neglected and learned to never look out for anyone else but themselves)

After dating an ADHD moid I think I would genuinely prefer to date a bpdemon or aspdemon moid over another ADHD one.

Idk what to think. My brother growing up was the redpill bro type who always muttered about how women are shallow, now he seems more shallow than anyone. As for the others, it was a big step and very hard for me to reveal we were dating as I've never done that before (I'm in my late 20's and was a shy single homebody for a long time), so this disapproval is a big fear of mine coming true.

If you date somebody that is not your "looksmatch," you're invalidating and threatening your brother's terminally online redpill worldview, so he takes it personally.

I'm sorry that he and your family are not supportive, but if your boyfriend is really a good guy, he will grow on the members of your family that have your best interests in mind. Idk where your family is from, but half my family is from a 3rd world country, and they all have the same superficial attitude as yours. However, the ones that I respect have all more-or-less come around to my partner and are happy for us, even though they would not have made the same choices that I have. But they respect me, and they understand that I am rationally choosing partners based on what I find attractive and what I value, so they have come to respect my relationship as well.

And almost every single one that isn't accepting has had a long string of terrible relationships, and I do not feel at all torn up that I do not have their approval.

Been casually talking to this guy for a few months already and I don't understand any of his signals, first he flirts a lot and jokes about hypothetically living together, then he says to not take him seriously (which at no point have I taken him seriously, I even told him I talk to other guys, which after that he barely talked to me for like 2 days straight, then proceeded to text me every day like usual.) He always shares details of his life with me, asked me to share a playlist with him and all that shit, we don't live close to each other at all, (he has talked about meeting up before too) and under the same breath he says stuff about wanting to meet up with other girls.

men compliment me pretty often and i am an autist so i am typically very friendly about it but they never end up actually pursuing me or flirting with me? like guys will approach me at shows or bars or whatever and be like “i really like your [insert outfit choice here]” or “you’re really pretty/beautiful/cute” (i understand this just sounds like i can’t identify gay men but i swear these are heterosexuals) or something and it seems like they are flirting and then i will try to engage further if they are cute but it never advances past following each other on instagram and then they never interact with me again and i don’t know what i am doing wrong

even my friends will say that it seems like someone was super into me so it’s not like i’m just being fully oblivious or autistic but then they never actually pursue anything, like they will make a point of introducing themselves to me and asking for my contact information and then never ever hit me up after that?? how do i fix this

How to get over the feelings that come up from having a boyfriend who was-slash-maybe-still-is addicted to porn? And I don’t mean porn in the classical sense, I mean super involved, digital drawing stuff that I could never even hope to play out for him. I feel like I’m going insane. I feel as though I need to be sexually available to him one hundred percent of the time, otherwise he’ll just turn to other things to get off. I feel like I’m not the person he’s thinking about when we’re having sex. Which is leading me to think that I want to do super crazy, involved things with him sexually in order to override the other stuff going on in his head. Dear reader, I don’t. I just want to have normal fucking sex. Furthermore, because I’m not satisfying sexually, I feel like I need to be the perfect girlfriend in every other regard to make up for it. I’m neurotic about it. And it’s not that he’s even necessarily doing anything wrong, he’s very gentle and sweet and reassuring to me and promises that I do it for him and that I’m lovely. This whole thing is something I’ve spun out internally. I just know what he has been into in the past and now that I have this idea in my head I’m running with it, and I’m worrying and creating these probably-false realities and consequently I don’t believe him when he tells me those things, because how could I ever measure up to the other stuff? The idea is absurd. I feel like I’m competing with someone or something. I don’t want to leave him. I just want to know how to get over this. I love him and I want to be with him in perpetuity. He’s good and precious and everything I want. I just also want to be everything he wants. I’m going fucking insane.

I'm pregnant and thinking long term.
Husband and I were having a discussion a few weeks ago on when we will stop trying for kids in the future and how I never intend on going back on hormonal birth control.
I suggested that once we hit 35 he gets a vasectomy. He's very against it.
Obviously I can't force him into it but it is clearly the easiest thing outside of condoms (he doesn't like them).
I will not get my tubes tied.
Is it really that big of an ask for him to do that?
I don't see it as a big deal for him at all..

No. 391714

snipping isn’t even permanent and is way less invasive than getting tubes tied. he’s being extremely unreasonable and selfish. why should you have to continue being on hormones when there’s a super easy fix that is not going to affect him but for two weeks after the procedure, max.

It is a big deal. Pregnancy causes serious complications and in some cases, death. He would rather sacrifice your life, or quality of life, just so he can coom.

does he have any reason? a bit of concern is warranted since surgeries are scary (even though vasectomy is a literal 5 minute snip with zero recovery time) and in some cases vasectomies aren't reversible. but if he's not planning on having any more kids I don't see why that would be an issue. maybe it's like a "male pride" thing, they can be weird about that sometimes

No. 391723

It happened a few weeks ago and has been on my mind today which is why I posted, but the only reason I remember him saying is that it's not reversible.
Besides that I only remember him saying he just doesn't want one. Which I guess is his right to not want one but with all other options in comparison it's pretty stupid imo. Hope he likes condoms after not wearing them for however many baby making years we'll have had lol

No. Do you want children in the future? His sperm is degrading by the minute and by the time you’re ready, he’s going to have geriatric old man sperm that will more likely give you a disabled child than if you had a man in his 20s or early to mid thirties. Even if you don’t want kids, would your friends like him? Would you like his friends? Could you hang out in a group setting comfortably? Not to mention your future as he ages, do you want to be taking care of him while he’s getting his knees replaced just to end up a widow? My mothers husband is 14 years older and she can’t even go on vacations she wants to go on with him because he can’t walk long distances, so they go to retirement communities in florida instead of doing any actual travelling.

But it is reversible. I've read that statistically his chances of infertility increase 2.5 years after getting the vasectomy (as in, if he waits more than 2.5 years to reverse it he might have some fertility loss). I don't know if the research on that was controlled for regular male fertility loss rates over time, as most vasectomy-getters are older men already so of course they would see reduced fertility after a while.

My ex had the trifecta of ADHD, autism and MDD and he was a NIGHTMARE. On the verge of trooning before I broke up with him too and he was a big factor in my peaking. Insane mommy issues, claimed he was asexual but had a thing for stockings and we still had sex (a lot of the time with our clothes on). He lived in an absolutely disgusting shack, couldn't look after himself and considered a shower jumping in his filthy pool at night with his clothes on.

How do I get my boyfriend to show his appreciation more? He's a quiet person by nature, but I've let him know over and over again that I need verbal affirmation in my relationships to feel like my emotional needs are getting met. I like being told I'm pretty, hot, sexy, beautiful, cute, whatever. Especially because I've seen his old social media accounts where he describes video game characters as "gorgeous" and "stunning" and "perfect," I think that he has an obligation to treat his girlfriend with the same degree of reverence. He doesn't post that stuff anymore, but I think the fact that he knows I know he's at least capable of showering (fake) women with affection like that means he should treat me at least as well. Whenever we have this type of conversation, he tries for like 2 days and then it goes back to normal. And when he does "try," it'll be something really milquetoast like "I like your hair." Then if I try to bring up that I don't think these are good enough compliments to make me feel as special to him, he gets all sensitive and says that he's afraid to try because he knows I'll just criticize him. Personally I think that's bullshit - I think he's intentionally doing a shitty job at stepping up to the task so that he can blame it on me for being too critical.

In every other way, our relationship is perfect. He's incredibly supportive and faithful to me. He does all the chores I don't want to do (we live together), we have very similar values and future goals, his family is amazing, we have incredible chemistry, and he genuinely seems to enjoy making my life easier. It's just that I can't get him to be as verbally affectionate as I need. In previous relationships, I got used to being told more or less on a daily basis how cute and pretty I am, how good I look in a given outfit, how lucky they are to be with me, etc. I didn't realize how much I took that stuff for granted until I started dating this guy. Now, it's making me feel like he's taking me for granted. How do I get him to compliment me more and make me feel good about myself without literally begging for attention?

Look up weaponized incompetence, moids are experts at this even though they don't always do it consciously. I'd talk to him about it again, mentioning that you know he tried but it feels like he didn't try hard enough and it's even more insulting because it should be something that's effortless - literally doesn't take any time, money or thought, just being present and verbalizing his appreciation for you. Mention that you don't understand why he can do 'harder' things to show his love but not that simple thing that would make a huge difference to you. Maybe mentioning that your exes did it and that's why you're noticing it even more will touch his ego and motivate him, but it could also make him insecure.

>it's making me feel like he's taking me for granted

I would also emphasize that aspect, maybe he doesn't understand why you need to hear that you're pretty everyday (moids can have a mindset of 'oh, but you already know i find you pretty' and lack spontaneity with their emotions). Lastly, do you think his emotional needs are met? Relationships are 50/50 and maybe if you ask him if he needs more reaffirmation himself, or maybe acts of service, he will open up and it will be both of you working towards a goal instead of him having to put efforts towards something he doesn't seem to grasp the importance of.

I have mentioned both of these things to him and it doesn't make a difference. When I bring up how I was used to this with my exes, he just says, "well, how good could those relationships have been if they ended?"

>Lastly, do you think his emotional needs are met?

Yes, and I have even told him that I make express efforts to use his love languages to make him feel loved and valued. He says he's happy in this relationship, and he knows that I have said that I'm not. I think he doesn't believe me when I say I'm unhappy or that if I don't get my needs met in this way I have to leave this relationship. Or he just thinks I'm saying dramatic things because I'm angry. When I mention to him that I work hard to make sure I'm using his love langauges, he says he thinks comparisons are hurtful. Which just pisses me off more because it's like, of course you would find comparisons hurtful if you're free-riding this relationship not putting in the full effort.

Comparing your efforts to his efforts? It's not about saying you're a better person than him, just that you put more efforts in this relationship than him in that aspect. You aren't saying that to hurt him, but because you are hurting and need him to be confronted with that fact and do something about it. It does seem like he takes you for granted if he thinks it's just a whim and you won't do anything about it. Feeling loved is one of the most important part of a relationship: you said that everything about him was perfect, but to me he sounds more like a perfect friend or roommate than boyfriend if he cannot express his love to you. Just know that if the person you're supposed to be the closest with and share the most love with doesn't show that he values you and loves you, you will only end up losing your own self-love and esteem. I wake up everyday knowing that I could die, everyone that I love could die anytime, and I won't waste a day without showing my appreciation, love and respect for them. I wouldn't be able to be with someone that doesn't think like this, and maybe it's a lack of maturity or just carelessness, but he should grow out of it. It's clearly something important to you, as it should be, and if he doesn't realize it soon you have to be the one to bring consequences, or he won't change (and won't change for any other less important issues that will arise in the future).

Confrontation is not his forte. Can you stand being with someone who can't take criticism and attempts to turn it around onto you, which will make you feel worse, instead of being with someone who's welcome to do an action that's going to help you feel better? He can't soothe you, that's his fault.

So I have a few questions.

I had a very brief fwb relationship with this guy but I felt myself catching feelings and told him I didn’t think this stuff is for me and wished him luck. He blocked me. To me blocking means someones upset. he did not block my number though. why?

This whole thing has been confusing, and the very little romantic feelings i was afraid i was starting to catch are completely gone. So gone I almost wish i could text him "nvm, i think i could fuck you without worry now". How possible is it what I was feeling was maybe just friendly feelings and i mistook them for romantic ones? depending on the reason he blocked me i could totally see myself resuming things. Or is it even worth it?

No. 392192

>>392187
You deserve better than a guy that blocks you and doesn't even wish you well before parting ways when he realized he couldn't fuck you anymore. He only blocked you on social medias (that's what I understood from your post, a bit confusing) and not your number because he forgot or didn't bother, there's no meaning. I don't think you had 'friendly feelings', your guts told you that it was something more and it's totally normal when you share your intimacy with someone, especially if you're not experienced, which seems to be your case. So don't hurt yourself again and don't come back to someone who didn't even express sympathy to you as a person and only cared about fucking. He surely doesn't have any feelings, friendly or whatever, towards you - I wouldn't call that a fwb relationship, but just a booty call. Time to move on and reflect on yourself and what you truly want in relationships.

Yeah it was social media (Snapchat). Unfortunately I texted him at three different times and he still wouldnt block me. I deleted his number so I don’t do it again.

You're probably right about him. I like giving people the benefit of doubt because I know things aren't black and white. I thought he might be insecure because after our first time he spammed my phone because he thought I didn't wanna deal with him anymore. And even I was cold to him and didnt message at all the next day because I was embarrassed over something that had happened. And right before i cut it off we had been planning to hang out again. There was miscommunication. I thought i was going to his place but apparently he was planning to come to me. Then told me he couldn't. And I got upset and felt like he just didnt wanna see me because he made plans with someone better. Especially because he didnt say anything when I mentioned that i could just go over myself. I was too upset and felt i already messed up the relationship being so invested. it shouldnt have bothered me that much. so i just told him nvm and that i didnt think this might be for me and that i had fun and goodluck. then went to cry and when i came back he had blocked me. but then my messages keep going through. I'm probably gaslighting myself but best case scenario I confused him. Most likely its simple and he is just an asshole

He probably wants the option to have more children with other women once you get older or whenever he decides he’s done with you. Or if you die or something. If you can’t convince him this is probably the answer. I’ve seen guys online admit to this and have experienced it myself. Don’t have anymore children with him if he keeps refusing. If I were you I would honestly start looking through his stuff and devices to see if he cheats or tries to cheat. A guy who won’t even consider a vasectomy for the mother of his children has his priorities in selfish places. Him constantly getting you pregnant through the years puts you at risk for death and your child at risk of becoming motherless. Men know this and are not dumb. They know the risks they impose on women with pregnancy. I’m giving you this advice as a mother of multiples whose ex refused any sort of birth control or vasectomy and next husband who got one when asked and current husband who is getting one. I’m old and have made a lot of mistakes with men and didn’t listen to my instincts enough. I hope there is nothing nefarious going on with your relationship but it won’t hurt to go looking to make sure. Also there is a vasectomy reversal procedure now. There is another procedure that takes the sperm out of the balls and can be used to impregnate through IVF. He has no excuse to not get one. Women risk so much giving men children and he can’t get a snip after expecting more kids out of you? You are risking your life and health and your looks for him to give him children. Protect yourself and your own interests. Put you and your child first. It would be in your best interest to put your foot down about this. No more condomless sex…. Will probably change his tune real quick. Also if he says condoms “hurt” say that you will order female condoms. They are actually pretty good. No more being swindled by males into dangerous sex on their terms. You are a mother now things must always be on your terms from now on.

Please nona, work on gaining self-esteem and avoid relationships like that unless you truly don't give a fuck about them and know you won't get attached and it won't hurt your feelings. Those relationships are not for everyone even though they're being normalized, and it's not your fault or weird. What did this bring you, apart from cries, headaches and time wasted? Compared to the sex, which wasn't necessarily that good, and the nice moments that could've happened, was is it really worth it? I can bet my arm that when some time has passed, you'll look back at this and think how funny it was that you got worked up so much about someone who means so little to your life - I'm not saying that to mock you, but to help you put things into perspective. You seem like a sensitive and thoughtful person, but also an overthinker. You want to understand others, empathize with them, and be understood. Well, understand that you need to have relationships with people that are good at communicating, don't hide their feelings, and have a good heart like you do, else you'll always have headaches and unanswered questions that torture your mind. Be glad that you had a clear-minded moment and shut this down quickly before it became even more complicated. Don't dwell on what he might have thought, you can't be inside his head and can't control his perspective anyway, but take it as an opportunity to think about yourself: you were hurt, so what can you do to prevent that in the future? What kind of relationships do you want and with what type of people?

I've been seeing a guy for like a week, but we do have a previous history of dating for a bit before life circumstances got in the way. Yesterday he visited me in my home and we went out to get late takeaway dinner. We've run into a very old aquaintance of mine and had to do awkward introductions and she asked if me and my boyfriend live here, and I very awkwardly blurted out he's not my boyfriend. As we were getting back to mine I could tell something was off. Then we get back and he basically shuts himself in my bathroom. I go and asked him what's up and he tells me to leave him alone as me telling this almost complete stranger we're not a couple made him upset, and he meditated in there for like 5 minutes. I admit that just going along with the bf-statement would have been waaay less awkward in that situation, but his strong reaction still weirded me out. Then he emerged from the bathroom and told me he loved me. I was handling this pretty casually and still debating whether I should tell him he's kinda a shitty kisser or just suggest we go our separate ways, but now I'm honestly concerned.

Fwb is never ever worth it. No dick on God’s green earth is worth it. Literally the only thing that’s worthwhile about relationships with moids is the affection, compliments/validation/them simping for you as if you are a goddess, and them spending significant amounts of money on you. If you’re having sex without getting any of that stuff back then it’s absolutely pointless and worthless to bother giving them pussy. And it only hurts dating in general because men think they can get the milk for free without paying.

I’ve already seen moids complaining and whining that they can’t find attractive young prostitutes anymore to rape and coerce into sex for money, because every young pretty girl is making bank from her bedroom. So a lot of moids are turning to easy girls with low self esteem who don’t even ask for cash in exchange for their shitty dicks. Don’t be one of those women nona. Don’t be an enabler. Learn from this bad experience with this absolute asshole and remember never ever have sex without commitment on his end again.

My boyfriend and I had a pregnancy scare last month, which is RIDICULOUS because NO PIV occurred during the sexual interaction– just outercourse, fingering and oral sex. For context, it was both our first time and we're still in college. So while it may be ridiculous to have a pregnancy scare over Non-PIV sex, both of us being naturally neurotic and inexperienced didn't help.

Anyway, he got traumatized from the pregnancy scare that he told me he'd like to take a break from fooling around. He does continue to flirt with me and make sexual suggestions when we talk to each other online, but he tells me he's anxious around engaging in sexual intimacy.

I really respect and understand his sentiment, but at the same time, I can't swallow the fact that he couldn't get over what happened last month knowing it was pretty irrational.

I respect and understand his sentiment. But I want him to be open to sexual intimacy again. God, I feel so desperate.

Real retardation incoming, I really need someone to help me navigate this and I have no friends I could talk to about this. I've gone on a few dates with this girl, and these have been my first ever actual dates. We've known each other for 2 and a half months, so not a long time at all and only had sex once. She says she really likes me and wants to be with me, like she really doesn't hide it at all. But I don't know if I do, I know I don't like her right now and I feel like I'm not actually ready to be in a relationship. I realize I value my solitude way too much, I want to be alone. I talk to her every day and it kind of seeps into my alone-time. After work I don't want to talk to anybody, but I feel like I should be with her because she likes me. But I've never been into a relationship before, should I give this a chance anyways?
There's also a few other things… I'm pretty 'straightedge', as in, no alcohol, drugs, not even cigs or even soda. I know that's lame but it's a hard boundary. Meanwhile she's big into all of this and half of our conversations revolve around whatever she's gonna be taking that day. I just feel like this might be an issue in the future if we decide to get together, she might feel smothered by me, and our lifestyles are extremely different. She's also 'genderfluid' and we've have 'arguments' about it too. I haven't revealed my terfiness to her but it's obvious to her I don't feel comfortable with referring to her as anything but a girl.
I feel like the answer is obvious, this relationship is kind of doomed from the beginning but I just…. I'll feel bad if I reject her. Should I even? It's not a big deal to just move on after you realize you're not gonna be compatible, right? But she's kind of mentally… fragile right now. She showed me fresh sh scars on our first date and talking about her anheroing attempts, I'll feel like an asshole. She says nobody's on her side or cares about her or whatnot to me, how she's planned a revenge on her ex girlfriends and will be a 'bad person' once she enacts the plan and she's also clearly not over her previous relationships, she started bawling when we passed a park she used to frequent with her. Like… I feel like this is too much for me to handle for my first relationship. This is all over the place, I'm sorry. I'm not out to any of my friends so I can't exactly ask them for advice… I'm really bad at confrontation and conversations but I feel like just ghosting will be rude.
Please help a retard out.

You are correct, that's how it's supposed to work. This woman sounds kinda crazy so she might make it into a big deal, but it's supposed to be normal to cut things off if you're not feeling it. It would be 10000x weirder to stay in a relationship you don't like.

Whether this was intentionally manipulative or not, this obviously places a burden on you and makes it hard to disconnect from her. You don't have to be upfront with her like it's a confrontation of what's wrong with her, I would just tell her that you realize you value your solitude and you cannot be there for her the way she wants. Say you're open to being friends, but slowly disconnect. If she asks for more specific reasons, say that you think you don't value the same things and you'd end up being a buzzkill over time. Don't mention the sh or anything she may take offense towards.

I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY. STUPID FUCKING MOIDS. I went shopping with my moid because he was asking all week:
>"what is your ring size"
> "idk lets go to the jewelry store".
We go there and the kind lady said
>"What type of ring were you looking for?"
>mmm idk ask him
> he doesnt respond.
Then i get the ring size. Later that date.
>Let's go shopping for clothes you like for me.
He gets exited and starts seaching for tomboy clothes.
I try on the clothes and we go to pay. When we go to pay he tells me to decide what clothes I want (which he chose). And when it's time to pay until that moment, he starts checking the prices, realizes that he doesn't have enough money and tells me. I tell him to leave the clothes and go (it's all clothes). He starts acting strange during the rest of the date and when we get in the car he asks me "what did I do to make you humiliate me like that?"
He begins to tell me that it is his pride as a man that was hurt. He starts to cry. Afterwards I comfort him so that he leaves the subject behind and I tell him that it wasn't that big of a deal and he calms down in the end.
WHAT THE FUCK . First of all, it was clothes that you chose and I don't know about you but when I BUY CLOTHES I SEE THE FUCKING PRICES BEFORE GOINNG TO THE CHECK OUT. Second, it's not my fault that you don't have money and you invite me to buy knowing that you don't have enough.
Another thing that bothers me is the ring thing. Please have the balls to tell the lady the purpose of the ring. I'm starting to believe it's a "shut up ring". The kind they give to girlfriends so they don't leave their boyfriends.
FUCKING CLOWN. STUPID MOID.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the spectrum. He doesn't like talking to people (other than me), he eats the same thing every day in the same way and only talks to others if it is strictly necessary or in his interests. I am also lucky that my boyfriends have the emotional and social intelligence of a peanut. I really think that if a moid goes out with me it's because they haven't been diagnosed yet.


>A lot of chronically online guys like tomboys because they're nonthreatening and don't get as much male attention as other types of women (or so do incels think).


I can see what you mean. In fact, when we were shopping he told me that my breasts were too big for the tomboy style.This is the similar outfit I wanted to buy.

>you should talk to him about how it's not a pride thing to decide not to buy shit u can't afford, he really does sound childish.


As I consoled him he admitted to me that it wasn't my fault and that it was his fault for not bringing enough money.

I posted this already and deleted because I was disgusted. But while my the guy I’m dating was smoking and high the other night, he messaged me something really weird and gross. Basically saying that he wants a ‘hotwife’ who has sex with black men and that he’s ‘disappointed’ I’m not attracted to black men. We are both white. I’m not racist but I’m also simply not attracted to black men. He claims he was joking and immediately retracted it, but I’ve felt extremely weird ever since he said that and am kind of grossed out because he was so sweet up until this. When I asked him wtf are joking, he said ‘would you leave me if I was serious’ which made me think there was a grain of seriousness to what he was saying. Again, very odd.

He has asked me before, if I have ever watched porn involving black men. I haven’t. He’s said racist stuff before tbh. He’s said the n word a bunch of times which I chalked down to him being an edgy zoomer. So this comment was very very weird and I’m queasy.

He does actually browse /pol/. But a lot of young guys do tbh, so I didn’t really think of it as a red flag. All the white men I’ve dated have been more conservative types, are at least a bit casually racist, and have said the n word causally etc. I don’t seek these men out specifically but unfortunately I’ve found pretty much all non leftie men are pretty racist in private, and as long as they aren’t actively attacking or harassing people I’ve somewhat learned to tolerate it I guess. He hasn’t mentioned it since and swore up and down at the time he was high and it was purely a bad taste joke. But weed doesn’t change your personality it just lowers your inhibitions. It was an odd and gross thing to say, even if it really was a joke. I feel like he’s testing me a lot of the time just to gauge my reactions.

It wasn't. Any chance of it being a joke vanished when he asked if you'd leave him if he was serious, that wasn't exactly subtle. He wrapped the truth in a joke to test your reaction. Which you've already realized yourself. Are you just looking for confirmation about your suspicions?

It's such a marker for general assholery though. If a person can't utter a normal inoffensive word on principle it says a lot. You just can be sure there's a lot more shit that's going to emerge sooner or later. And what else would you expect? It directly shows that a person is arrogant, unempathetic/aggressive, well, primitive in some sense. Heighten your standards, really, if something bothers you don't rationalize it and discard as something little and irrelevant. Such things do matter, and it's not something "everyone" does.

My boyfriend and I live an hour apart and get to see each other 1-2 times a week. Because of this, a lot of our conversations have to take place over text.

I'm struggling with his habit of abandoning the text conversation if it gets heated. He'll say "I'm gonna go. I don't like how I feel about this", then go offline. He doesn't say what he needs, where he's going, for how long, or if we will even talk again. Last time, he disappeared at 9pm and didn't msg me again til 6am. I was up all night crying.

I've told him that it's not the needing space that hurts. It's the disappearing with no information and leaving me to spiral on my own. He apologizes, but hasn't yet stopped doing this. I'd say it's happened about five times in the last 12 months. It's so painful. I'm tempted to lash out in his absence whenever he goes.

Nona honestly you have to work on your anxiety and emotional dependency. BUT if you two don't ever come back to the conversation and unpleasant topics are always/mostly avoided, if you feel guilty for bringing something up and you feel like you have to be super careful with your words, if he makes you feel guilty for bringing something uncomfortable up and especially if he makes you feel crazy and use exaggerations referring to your reactions/jokes about them, it's really really bad and it's going to be worse. Even without these things it's pretty bad that he doesn't try to change and improve your communication - it just means he doesn't care and expects you to adapt.

No offense but you sound like a bpdchan. Nobody wants to argue with their partner over text, it’s a waste of time and generally unpleasant. Saying ‘when things get heated’ is a bit of a cop out here. Why are they getting heated? What are the issues and why can’t you discuss them calmly and maturely with your partner? Is it really him causing you trouble or are you picking fights with him out of need for attention or out of boredom? It’s not normal to argue regularly with your partner especially when it’s over text. Nobody wants that and I wouldn’t tolerate it from my bf if he wanted to fight regularly over messages either.

i have never had much to do with romance/flirting stuff before so i genuinely cannot tell for the life of me if im being delusional or this guy i've gotten close to is into me. i'm definitely into him, but not opposed to just being friends.

we've become pretty close friends and hang out daily, we live in the same open-plan dorm so we drop by each others' rooms to give each other stuff or just to have a chat. otherwise, we spend a lot of time together in one of the more private shared rooms one-on-one or messaging on discord. he usually likes to send me a good morning message and asks how i slept. in general he's pretty touchy-feely with me– the other night in the aforementioned shared room, i had my head on his knee & we were holding hands and he'd occasionally lean down to put his head on the pillow i had on my chest. he also likes to pat my head, and we've play-fought over pillows in the room a couple times

now that i'm typing it all out it seems kind of likely, but he's also said that he holds hands with female friends of his and is the type to believe men and women can just have platonic relationships instead of having to date, which kind of muddies the water for my retarded brain. any thoughts??

(He could just be saying that to sound more chill than he is because he wants to hold your hand kek, I have no idea I don't know him.)

Anyone else think it’s interesting how much more open women are now about secretly hating their bf? I used to think I was crazy for having contempt for my bfs in the past but now I realize it’s normal and 90% of women feel that way at some point or another about their male partner. Posts like pic rel, or talking about ‘boyfriend air’ and how your appearance literally denigrates after spending time with a man, women having pre orgasm and post orgasm clarity, hating the chore of having sex etc.

Men have been shamelessly ranting about hating their wives, wanting to play vidya or watch porn rather than spend time with their gf etc for years. It’s bleak but also refreshing to see women being honest about what a drag and burden most moids are. Most women want a partner but I think they’re waking up to the reality of moids and seeing that the juice isn’t even worth the squeeze the majority of the time.

ive been seeing a guy for a couple months and i now feel duped, like he lovebombed me super hard. he said i love you within like 4 days. he was really really sweet and kept messaging me constantly. he would text me in the middle of the night saying stuff like ‘i really hope i didn’t wake you up but i miss you so bad and can’t stand not talking to you even for a couple hours, i love you so much’ etc. all i guess red/amber flags in the rational mind, but i found it cute and sweet.

honestly i really liked him too so i felt happy even though it was very full on. he talked a lot about his family and how he wants me to meet his mom and sisters etc. i ended up falling for him hard because of all this and made it obvious i reciprocate his feelings without trying to seem too clingy or desperate.

fast forward to now. i feel like he’s taking me for granted now that he love-trapped me. he leaves me on read sometimes the whole day. he barely talks to me for 30 mins-1 hour a day. he’s always tired or busy now. but if i suggest breaking up he goes nuts and begs me to stay.

have i gotten involved with a narc or something? i don’t think he has a personality disorder but seeing the posts above about how awful adhd men are…is kind of making me scared now. i also googled about adhd lovebombing and it seems they do this a lot (they’re sincere about it at the time but also tend to lose interest quickly also) so im depressed about this now too. should i just cut my losses? i can’t go from being worshipped like a goddess to being left on read 16 hours at a time in such a short space of time. i wish i could go back to those first few weeks/months.

As another nona said, men’s bad habits only become worse over time. If it’s this early in the relationship and a man is already being inconsiderate and leaving you on read all the time and generally making you feel neglected and like shit, then his behaviour and carelessness is only going to get worse as time goes on. Men never change or improve, they only become more stubborn and stuck in their ways. The first year or two is when men are supposed to be on their absolute best behaviour and worshipping you. If he’s already becoming unappreciative, negligent and cold/distant, then you have to prepare yourself for him to get even worse, or just straight up leave him asap.

We both agree we sound much meaner in texts than we intend to. We're going to try committing to not having arguments or disagreements over text, ever.

when i asked him if he watches porn, he said yes but that he thinks it's messed up and wanted to quit but that it was a "bad habit." he said he would quit now that he has a reason and that he would never choose porn over me. i was still mad and wanted to hurt him so i yelled at him for a few hours and he told me i made him sad and ruined his day lol.

he said he didn't watch anything violent. i questioned him and suggested he might have been watching gay porn too and that porn makes men trannies. he got super offended that i would imply he was a homo. he's not into non-con shit though at least.

My ex never watched violent or sadistic porn, he was simply addicted to lewd cam girl stuff, e-girls, coombait tiktoks featuring teens etc. But he was still a raging misogynist sexual deviant AGP weirdo with pedo tendencies. It doesn’t matter what kind of porn they watch, the damage is the same.

i'm not worried about him trooning out. you know how you can kind of tell from looking at certain men that they might, like they have this dysgenic look in their faces and you can kind of just know they're fucked up? he doesn't look tranny-ish at all. he is kind of perverted but he hasn't shown me any signs of being misogynist or pedo and i like sex anyways so that didn't bother me that much tbh. the porn watching feels like cheating though and i hate it. he's being super clingy now too because he's afraid i'm going to leave him and keeps saying how much he loves me and wants to regain my trust and trying to be sensitive. i'm kinda busy now and don't wanna deal with the fallout atm so i'll probably dump him at a more convenient time.

I had a brother somewhat like this and he didn't stop until I showed him a bruise he left on my arm and really got in his face about it. He thought I was just being "girly" (like emotionally manipulative or something? moid brain moment). Obviously the dynamic is a little different if he's your fiance not your brother, but hte fact remains if he keeps doing it it's either on purpose or he doesn't believe you and you need to make him understand or tell him to kick rocks. I don't think I would tolerate it in a partner, I freak out if a man hurts me regardless of wether it seems accidental.

I'm someone who hasn't cohabited with a guy a single time before and am way too comfortable being alone. Now it causes inner tension for me with the guy I'm seeing. Not only does he only ever hang out at mine, he feels too much at home. Basically from the first moment he never asked permission to use anything. Goes into my cupboards, randomly checks into drawers, starts looking for stuff himself instead of asking me for said thing. Instead of asking if he can take a shower, he announces he's going to take one (and then floods my fucking bathroom, as I don't have a shower curtain, because I only take baths or sitting showers). I didn't really dare to say much so far, because I'm a very anxious and asocial person, so when I'm in someone else's home, I'll basically sit down in one spot and not touch anything unless I'm asked to. But I've seen families that had no problems letting a guest do dishes for them and such.
What really triggered me a bit is a few days ago he opened my fridge and asked if he could eat X. I said sure, because if he told me he was hungry, I'd have looked in the fridge and offered it to him anyway. What I'm bothered by is him deciding to raid my fridge because he's hungry.
Obviously we do not live together, have been dating for less than 6 months. Honestly at this point I'm not sure I ever want a man to move in, because I still feel like he's just a rude guest.

No. 394015

There's a guy I like, and he likes me. He's sort of obsessed with me, and I like that a lot. But at the same time, I'm in a pickle about this situation. He's from a country that historically has oppressed mine, in a bad way. I feel inside of me that if I get with him, it will be like "dishonoring my ancestors" who were tortured by his ancestors. For this same reason, I am also kind of scared of him? Because I think "what if he does to me what his ancestors did to mine?". This historical thing ended over 200 years ago. And we have no major differences like religion or skin color that might be a big deal for some people. What do you girls think? Would I be a disgrace to my past relatives?

I don't think this is a question you should be asking here honestly. It sounds like there's a lot of historical and cultural nuance that most of us here aren't familiar with.

I don't personally think it would be a disgrace to your ancestors but I'm not from a culture where people value ancestors like that in the first place.

i've been dating casually for a little while now and i've been seeing this guy who i have grown rather fond of but i can't tell whether we are compatible or not. we seem to align very closely politically and ethically, (one time when he tried to say "sex work is real work" i explained in pretty loudly feminist terms why that's bullshit and he just… agreed, like he had no argument, he basically just said "oh. yeah, that's a fair point, i'd never thought of it like that but you're right" which has literally never happened with a man before) he's lived a very interesting life and done a lot of interesting things, eats my pussy like his life depends on it, and has overall been very pleasant and normal with no red flags. plus he has a career which i find relatively admirable and he def won't be broke in his line of work

but he's kind of boring to talk to, and i can't tell if he's just introverted and will become more engaging over time or if this is as compelling as the conversation is going to get. also, i have concerns about his feelings re: children which if any of you have any thoughts on i'd love to hear. i asked how he felt, he said he was "60/40 in favor of having them" with the reasoning being that while he thinks he might want kids when he's older (he's 28, i'm 29) he also knows that the sort of women he is attracted to (ambitious + alternative) are less likely to want children. i don't want any, which i of course told him, and in fact am having my tubes removed this week. i worry that while he says he's open to not having kids he's not really actually open to that, like my worst fear has always been that i date some fencesitter dude who says he's fine with not having kids if it's not something i want but then we hit 40 and he decides he HAS to have a broodmare and i get left middle-aged and alone while he goes and starts a family with some retarded 24 year old.

Ok long story:
Both parents dead, just me and my sister.
We get left the house, my sister (married, child, has a house already) calls me over and gives me this whole speech about how she wants to raise her kid there, its their dream house, the area is great the garden is great blah blah. Tells me that she won't sell the house so that I have "somewhere to go back to" if I need it, and I can come visit whenever I like.
We agree on a price (she "gets 3 surveys" and I trust her on that.

She sells her house, buys me out, I buy my own house, everything is fine… I message her over 2 weeks ago and get no reply. I spend like a week+ micro analysing my communication and trying to work out what I did to cause her to blank me… I find out off FACEBOOK that she's selling the house the listing is up they are moving. She's tacked 60k+!!! Onto the price she sold me the house for half of, they have done some renovations but not loads, knocked a wall through and put the kitchen in the living room because everyone likes listening to cooking whilst they are watching TV, idk. Either way, NOT 60K+ amount of renovation. Also the house is full of my family belongings that are technically 50% mine so if she's selling the house they'll probably be going too.

Anyway, she's not even communicated this with me AT ALL. And I only agreed to let her have it because she made such a big deal about how much the house meant to her… We signed paperwork etc for the price I was given so I can't really do anything about it now… But am I justified in just completely cutting contact? It hurts to know that I'm losing my family home too and I've not even been told, there's all the money based fuckery, but I'm also annoyed that her and her husband laid the whole tugging on my heartstrings down when it was all bullshit.

yeah, i am not eager to jump directly into a relationship, when he asked what i was looking for i told him that i am open to a relationship but that i would like to keep things casual until we get to know each other better, which i feel like we’re still doing at this point. i guess i should have clarified that i’m not waiting around for this guy to commit, from what he told me this is the first time he’s ever had sex with someone he’s not in a formal/exclusive relationship with so i don’t particularly think that he’s playing me considering i had to explain what i meant by casual. i’m not asking for advice on how to get him to commit, i just can’t tell whether i WANT him to commit to me if that makes sense.

>>394181
i don’t think i can “barely endure” him, he’s quite pleasant to be around and i enjoy spending time with him, i think i am just used to meeting people and immediately being drawn to them and then getting into a relationship too quick before i really know them. this is the first time i’ve dated “normally” in the sense that i don’t think it will be the end of the world if he doesn’t want to date me (young me catastrophized a lot) but because i don’t feel the same sort of overwhelming pull/spark i can’t tell if we’re incompatible or if this is just part of the process of getting to know someone. i am also an autist which doesn’t help bc i often struggle to discern whether i actually like someone or if we just get along well and would be better off as friends.

>>394235
i am very used to dating guys with massive red flags that i end up justifying for retarded reasons so i guess i’m just not sure what to do with someone who seems very normal and nice, like i’m waiting for the other shoe to drop i suppose.

you sound so mad about something you decided to misinterpret lol
mothers as a concept aren’t inherently broodmares, but when men decide to leave their partner specifically so they can have a baby… yeah dude i feel rather firmly that they are pretty much exclusively using that woman to breed. it’s not the same thing as settling doesn’t with someone who also wants children and planning your life like that. a middle aged man leaving his otherwise happy marriage for the express purpose of getting a woman pregnant is absolutely looking for a broodmare and not a partner. sorry if some guy left his wife to knock you up and you feel attacked, i guess kek

Nonnies, what would you do if hypothetically, for the sake of the argument, you found out that your too-good-to-be-true potential nigel happened to fall for the femboy meme as a teenager but seemingly moved on from it? Literally everything is great aside from that. I suspected there was something faggy about him and honestly there's nothing wrong with being bi but the whole femboy thing is utter degeneracy and makes me sick to my stomach. inb4 chances of trooning are near zero, he's not retarded and sees how delusional and nonsensical trannyism is. I feel bad for him because his background definetly made him a textbook vulnerable grooming target at the time. Please refrain from replying with straight up ropefuel or I'm gonna blame this website for my death in my suicide note and kill myself in a way that gets me on the news so you'd get mainstream exposure and an influx of retarded tiktok zoomers as a result, thank you very much.

Putting aside the manhate for a moment, teenagers go through all sorts of weird phases. For example, I had “any pronouns” in my tumblr bio when I was like 15 kek.

Full blown AGP seems different to femboy fetish to me, many women have been with AGPs who lied or attempted to suppress their paraphilia but failed. There's the chance he wants to troon out later (especially after women are "trapped" through marriage or having children, disgustingly enough) but it doesn't seem like it's guaranteed.

I'd trust for now. He was/is a gnc bi man, on the precipice of trooning out (femboy shit), and peaked instead. He's less likely to troon out in the future than the average scrote if he actually thought it out and decided against it. Chances aren't zero of course but if he genuinely thinks trannies are nonsensical I don't see why he would transition. but if you start seeing sissy shit in his browser history run

I've known a couple moids like that and yeah, it's often the byproduct of grooming, sadly. It's so common. With some it develops into typical AGP (probably because their 'bisexuality' was AGP-related in the first place), so be careful. Look out for envy (of your body), compulsive removal of body hair, sudden and brutal drops in sex drive (that's the fetish taking hold), talk of being uneasy with his body. That last part is especially important, if he brings up concerns about how he looks in relation to sex, it's a major red flag, it means his residual grooming/interest has developed into a paraphilia. Best of luck nona

Nonnies, my boyfriend told me a bunch of times he wanted to go to his hometown (different country) with me to show me around and see his family etc. Now we haven't been doing so well lately and he's mentioning whenever he can "yeah I still might go on that trip, I'll probably go alone", these type of passive aggressive comments. It never goes anywhere either, he's just doing it to spite me. I don't feed it but I feel like he's really trying to get under my skin, should I just tell him where to stick it? Instead of choosing to talk about it with me he's trying to provoke me into bitching out at him, I don't really know why but it doesn't matter because he won't get the reaction he so clearly wants from me. I'm not that type of person but apparently he thinks this way about me.

Nonnies, my husband has never once thanked me for taking time every other weekend to take our baby to visit his mom. I’ve told him twice before that it bothers me, but both times were during arguments. I’d like to talk about it calmly outside of an argument. Is that something I should do, or will it just cause more problems than it fixes? If he still refuses what do I do? Just tell him to grab a bag of milk and go without me?

No. 394699

He does go with. I guess it bothers me because the only free time I really get is when I sit down to pump in the mornings. I work and earn a paycheck while watching the baby, I cook everyone three meals a day, I do all the diapers, all the feeds, all the cleaning/dishes/laundry. Still, he complains things aren’t tidy enough, aren’t cleaned fast enough. An extra four hours on the weekend twice a month would really help with that.

Ayrt, I see where you're coming from now. I don't think him not thanking you for this one thing is the real issue though. It sounds like the underlying issue is that you're carrying out an unfair amount of labour and mental work load that goes unacknowledged/underappreciated.

Tell him what you want outside of an argument then. Do not engage in arguments with him at all. Say what you want and keep it short and to the point. "I want you to make meals on the weekends." "I want you to do the laundry on Saturdays." "You are in charge of playing with baby and diaper changing when you come home from work." "I am going to [location] on [day], you are going to watch the baby while I'm gone." Find an excuse to leave the house in the evenings and leave the baby with him (take up powerwalking and make it take at least an hour every day, that sort of thing.)
I don't know if he will step up and pull his weight; you can't control him but you are in control of your own actions and you can step back.
Sorry if you love him but he is clearly kind of an asshole and he thinks you should be doing all this work, he's not going to magically lessen the burden on you. You have to find a way to do it yourself.

The real answer is that he literally doesn't deserve her companionship. He's a fucking nag and he doesn't even make enough money to support them without her working. The gall of men. He needs to be shamed by his family for treating her this way. Imagine doing everything she is doing for a man who doesn't appreciate her and repays her by verbally tearing her down. Then she decides it's good for her family to keep things that way. Well, SHE is part of her family and it's not good for her. It doesn't even make sense.

I didn't think of this before but you should start a private savings account immediately. Put money into it every paycheck. It's an "oh shit" fund. Each person in a couple should have one because things happen that tie up the finances of the other person and you're shit out of luck if you don't have your own account to draw from.

I just started my period and I’m very emotional as a result like I am every period, so I need a nona to put me in check and tell me if I’m being crazy.
I’ve been with my boyfriend for 3 years, I want a proposal and I have for about a year now. My boyfriend knows this, and has told me he didn’t think we were quite ready for that yet and needed to work out some minor issues in our relationship first. It was around my birthday that we had this emotional conversation where I made it clear I wouldn’t wait forever. So I set a deadline in my head that I never told him, 1 year aka my next birthday. He has no idea about this deadline I set because I don’t want that to be the only reason he proposed.
He has a trip planned for us that is the week of my birthday, I fully thought this was going to be the proposal trip. It’s one of my dream trips and there’s a lot of potential options for really romantic proposal locations. If there is any time for him to propose it would be on this trip. However, we recently had a conversation that clued me in on the fact that I’m almost 90% certain he doesn’t even have the ring yet which would mean he doesn’t actually plan to propose on this trip.

Should I talk to him about this? Because if he doesn’t plan on proposing I’m going to be waiting the whole trip for a moment that never comes, be disappointed, and since my deadline will have passed I’ll have no choice but to leave him. Because I set this deadline for myself wanting to stick by it and if I don’t I’ll be that doormat forever girlfriend that sticks by his side until he finds the woman he actually will commit to.
But if I’m wrong and he does actually have plans to propose despite what he made me think, then I’ll have ruined his surprise by grilling him about it. I’m so conflicted here, it’s like after this trip I’m either engaged or out of my relationship forever.

No. 394835

You don't need to elaborate on what relationship issues he gave as an excuse to not propose, but do you feel like there's been any progress in those areas? Also there's a chance that conversation where you became convinced he doesn't have the ring was to throw you off, keep it a surprise. Even if it wasn't, grilling him about it now won't change the outcome. Go enjoy your trip and make some good memories regardless nona. Congratulations if he does propose, but in the case it doesn't happen please remember- if he wanted to, he would. You made it clear what you wanted and gave him enough time to do so. I really respect you for setting your boundaries, I'll never understand those "dating 10 years" couples tbh

Thank you for your perspective, I hadn’t considered maybe he was intentionally being misleading. And thank you for your congratulations either way, I just need to make peace with the fact that whatever happens it will ultimately be for the best and try to not ruin the trip for the sake of my own self regardless.

It was all so out of the left field (I'm a wallflower), I think it might have given me an inflated sense of myself.

Just found out my bf had genuine CP saved onto his computer. I feel completely sick to my stomach. I’ve already packed all my things and am getting two of my guy friends to come round and help me move my shit and also for security. He isn’t back from work yet. I’m planning to call the cops on him once he’s home. I’m so disgusted and sad nonas. I literally vomited when I found it.

Worst of all my bf knows I’m a CSA victim myself. It sickens me to know he was watching this especially knowing how much trauma I’ve endured from it. The scary thing is my ex is a total normie on the outside and usually to me. He never mentioned any kind of preference for younger women, never made any sus or creepily comments, never showed any weird fetishes, he has multiple nieces too and I’m terrified he’s done something with them even though they seem to adore him and there haven’t been any allegations or suspicions on him. Now I can’t stop seeing my abusers face in his face. I wonder if I subconsciously chose my ex because he slightly resembles the younger him. Ugh. I feel disgusting. My head is spinning. I’ve been crying for hours. We planned a future together and I was living with a monster the whole time unknowingly.

What the fuck do I do now besides contacting the authorities? Do I tell his mom and sisters to ask if his younger family members are ok? I feel like they might turn on me if I out him, unfortunately as families of pedos often do.

I'm inexperienced in romance, no one besides my mom had ever called me pretty before him… It was so overwhelming to be fawned over by someone, I thought I had the universe by the balls. I wanted to the see the world and try dating other people! I knew I probably shoulda kept seeing him, but it was weird even thinking of him as a side piece, so I didn't. I also didn't know most men's cocks don't work like his and are useless in bed lmao, even though I've been reading about nonnas experiences for years lol. My first app date I ended up spending the night with a SEA butt-ugly probably porn addict brown IT guy that I had to suck for hours to barely even get to a semi. I didn't know why my HS friends always talked about faking orgasms with their bfs until that night. I went out with five other guys expecting to have the time of my life like I did with handsome moid and they all disappointed me like that. I'm just that naive.

I've recently been actively trying to not care about being "understood" anymore and just be content doing my own thing. My boyfriend of 5 years last night told me he noticed I've been distant and I told him I am not trying to make anyone understand me anymore because i realize that the way I want to be understood doesn't exist and is a delusion of mine. However, he said he still missed me talking. I tried to explain to him it's because I'm over correcting things he says relating to me or telling him every single time my feelings get hurt. I told him that we've been fighting less since I've adopted this new stance of mine and it's true. I'm a very sensitive person and overly obsessed with my image and anything that might threaten it. Accepting that I will never be validated in the way I want to be as I'm not a person who deserves that (I'm not creative, attractive, or special) and that I'm just a regular person has made me not get irritated or affected by things that used to bother me. I don't rely on him for validation the way I used to care all about what he thought of me.

Anyway, he said he feels like I'm giving up, but I don't feel like that. Yeah, I'm not telling him every thought of mine the way I used to just ramble on, but I feel better not exposing him to all my retarded thoughts.

I feel bad because he is really good to me. What can I do? Is this mindset of mine bad for our relationship?

Yes its bad for your relationship, and its obviously upsetting him. Ofc he wants to try to understand his girlfriend even if he isnt always successful if he is a half decent guy.

what you said makes sense, i think you explained it well. i think you should explain this to him exactly how you just explained it. even though it might go against how you feel right now, you should help him understand the sudden change because if he wants to hear from you, that's a good thing. he's probably confused about why it's suddenly different. i think if this new mindset has helped you, then you should continue with what feels right for you. but also he might feel left in the dark. maybe you guys can navigate this change together

This is more of a vent but I am the shitty toxic person in the relationship right now and it feels awful.

After a series of intense meltdowns as a result of an extremely shitty but well paying insurance gig, I quit with no immediate backup plan for a job. I told my husband what had happened and he was immediately upset with me because I had no backup plan and I didn't consult him first and we literally just moved out into our own apartment. I don't blame him one bit for being pissed. Since I quit on Tuesday I've been doing everything in my power to cheer him up. Cooking, cleaning, staying in a good mood because it's not fair for me to be upset right now, I even have a job interview next Tuesday for a position with comparable pay.

I know I deserve everything that he's dishing out to me right now because I royally fucked up. It doesn't make it hurt any less though. The only reason I stayed at this job for as long as I did was because I didn't want to hurt or upset him. All I can hope for is that I get the job and he doesn't divorce me. If he did though, I wouldn't blame him as I am a massive piece of shit.

Instead, I got "well, what are you going to do the next job you have? quit again?" like… ouch. Since Tuesday he's even been making little jabs at me about my being jobless. My parents are going through financial troubles and he said "yeah WE don't have any money to spare if they ask us for help" and looked at me. Like we don't have nearly 20k in savings.

Repost because of grammar error that made my post make no sense lol.

My bf uses the same username/handle for basically and has for years, so I was Googling his handle and stalking stuff he might have written before.

I found a couple of his posts from a year or two ago on a forum. He was using the word ‘c*nnies’ to describe a 12 and 16 year old girl in a news article. He used it in another post too. I felt really really grossed out by this. He’s not even a weeb and it wasn’t even about 2D characters (not that that is any more acceptable) but about actual underage children.

There weren’t really any other red flags. BUT. He’s made an off color joke before. He was making pizza and said ‘I LOVE cp’ and started laughing. I was grossed out by it and asked wtf is wrong with him and he apologized profusely and insisted it was just a joke. He has a habit of blurting things out a lot before thinking, so I tried to put it down to that, but now with the posts I feel kinda sick.

It sucks because he’s actually a really good bf and pretty much perfect in every other way, but I have a sinking feeling about him now and it’s changed my opinion of him. Is this a dumpable offense?

Not really my relationship but I'm confronted with the age-old question - should I tell the GF?

Talked to a guy I knew through some mutual friends and work about a week ago.
He's super forward, shit like a hug lasting too long, asking me to hang out, heart emojis, pie-in-the-sky job offers, all that bs, whatever. Bullshit able to be seen from the ISS but I occasionally work with this twat. Took him up on getting lunch for an hour out of morbid curiosity and holy shit he's got more red flags than Beijing. Standard menu of mental illnesses, told him I'm not here for a relationship, but he closed the conversation by flat-out telling me he lives with his GF, who he got into a "huge" fight with THE DAY PRIOR because he was going out with me. He didn't even tell me a GF existed, and acted like every hobby he has is stuff he does alone. No mention of her for stuff like movies, TV shows, games, nothing. He said a bunch of nasty shit that she's "possessive" and he's not, he wants to experience other people, but he wants HER to tell HIM when she wants to hook up with someone else. Typical controlling bullshit, no defining relationships, he seemed like he was lying anyway. I brushed it off until dumbass told me her first and last name, so I got nosey and looked her up. Her Pinterest has fucking wedding inspo and "dream engagement ring" pins from as recently as 4 weeks ago. Yeah, no fucking kidding she'd be mad that her moid is likely cheating. I have nothing damning like him asking for sex or something, since I'm not interested in this shitter, but now I'm concerned for her.

I feel so fucking bad that this is the dipshit she has to deal with - should I just find a way to message her and ask if she's ok?

he's upset you aren't constantly begging for his validation and feel a sense of self worth without needing his reassurance. he's insecure and thinks you'd better off making yourself suffer needing his validation so he feels useful and better about himself. if you keep acting like that watch out if he starts to neg you or randomly find problems so he can disturb your peace.

It's a dice roll unfortunately, some women cannot handle the truth, some women simply do not respect themselves, telling can make her dig in and cope even harder, esp when she's got the wedding mania. But staying the trajectory, if that piece of shit amazingly hasn't already brazenly cheat, he's gonna try his hardest to coerce her into "polyamory" bs before cheating on her anyway. I guess if it were me I'd tell her the facts of his actions but not insinuate that she should leave.

Late response but this is really interesting to me, I haven't seen this sort of discourse before. I get it though, I've never really "connected" with any of the moids I've dated. I've always felt they've loved me way more than I could love them, and slowly that lack of love grows to contempt and I begin to dislike them, which has been the end of all of my relationships.

Some of them did, but at worst they're cringe, not outright disgusting. I don't really have a stake in any of this aside from having to work with the guy sometimes. He has a reasonably important, pretty entrenched job so I don't really want to fuck this up beyond what he already did to her (if the fight was real). I may give it a week though since there's a work event I retardedly said he should bring her to, and I'm curious if this guy even has the balls to let her outside.

Samefagging (also thank you guys) just to say some cursory nosing around yielded this 5'0" fat gremlin - using photoshopped social media photos - is fumbling a beautiful rich girl he's likely leeching money off of, and I now know she's close to one of my friends. I can't imagine what manipulative shit he has going on that's keeping him in remotely good graces, since in the years working around the guy, he's never even mentioned her. Though I guess I never went out of my way to ask him anything either. We kinda figured he's just some quiet incel with a drug problem, since he's "nice" but annoying.
If you ever need reassurance that moids can't be trusted, and money doesn't buy self-respect, you can be someone's dream person and moids will still try to sleep around while being manipulative freaks.

I think I'll wait for the work event and be happy I was able to call bullshit early enough by being overly direct and borderline insulting. I'll see if I can tell her in-person. Usually I'm on her end of the stick. Holy shit.

i hope it goes okay, and i think in-person is a good idea. i would feel so sorry for her if she ended up marrying such a pathetic leech scrote, but hopefully, fingers crossed, you can inform her and prevent something like that happening. but you never know how she'll respond, in any case i think she should know anyways. he shows zero respect for that relationship

Sometimes it's so shocking how absolutely retarded pedos are. Things like publicly posting that with their same digital handle they've used forever, or an example from my real life: having loud conversation at family gatherings about how girls used to get married at 12 years old back in the good old days, etc. But it's good to remember that just because they're retarded and not hiding it well doesn't mean they're not also looking at cp and possibly even molesting their young relatives. It seems outrageous until you see it in real life. And the when you talk to people who know him they say stuff like "he's not a pedophile he's just stupid." – when in reality you know for a fact he is a pedophile. Crazy making stuff. All that to say she should have kicked him in the nuts as hard as she could when he made the cp joke. Also she should break up with him like last week.

BF of 9 months and I are finishing up grad school at the same time. I have a (one and only) good job offer that will move me to the other side of the country. I don't have the money to stay where I am and spend the next several months just searching for another job.

I feel, if I was single, I would easily take the job. BF and I started dating acknowledging that we may not end up in the same place after graduation, and that neither of us wants an LDR, but that didn't stop feelings from growing. I admit it was probably stupid to let this keep going, knowing it was going to be painful in the end.

Over the past few months he's fallen into a bit of a depression (unrelated to me), and hasn't been interacting with his closest friends, only me. It has made me terrified that if I leave, he'll have no one, and sink even lower. I know that's a bad reason to stay but I truly care about him and don't want to hurt him. I hope to have a conversation with him where I encourage him to reach out and reconnect with his friends, build his life back up.

Idk where I'm going with this. Would love if other nonas could share stories where they had to break up with good, wonderful people because of life circumstances. I'm so scared of sadness.

He can't come with me because his work is here and we don't exactly have "drop everything and move to another state without a job secured" money. I just really hate to see him so sad. I think, because we became really vulnerable with each other within a short time, our emotions are very intense at the moment. Which is probably why I'm taking so much responsibility for how he feels. Can't say he's the guy, just heartbroken that we didn't have enough time and space to find out.

I guess it's a relationship issue, not really an issue in a specific relationship but a relatinoship-related issue : I feel bad because I lost my virginity in a stupid way.
I lost it with an asshole I was in love with, who was the worst pornsick shitface loser, but I was in my "icanfixhim" phase. It wasn't really on purpose, I gave in. I thought maybe if we got this close physically he'd magically stop being a shitfaced loser.

On one hand I'm glad I lost it because it used to feel like I had this mystical gift to give plus I felt a bit like a weird loser for being a virgin so I'm glad that's off my shoulders, on the other hand I feel bad because it was still a special moment that I wasted on someone who wasn't worth it.
I get that anybody who judges me for not being a virgin anymore would be an ass, but on the other hand I do think discovering sex with someone is a special thing. It'd still be special to me because I only made love twice and it sucked both times, but less than if it really was my first time.
Anybody dealt with the same issue?

No. 395585

I was in the same boat; I waited til college, then dated some flakey dumbass who didn't give a shit about anything other than the outward appearance of having a girlfriend. Of course, he popped up years later to be annoying, and it made me feel bad for ever letting myself lose my virginity to that. Though now it's not a big deal since I value the experience gained after a while.

I like the idea of just moving the feeling of specialness to the first time you're intimate with a new partner. Usually that's a lot more fun and less "one and done" since, hopefully, someone more fitting will be around longer than the earlier relationships.

Today is my bf's birthday and he invited me over to his house. Now, he is a poor guy and lives in a bad neighborhood in a pretty shabby apartment block. I get it. His finances are not an issue for me. But…
His mom prepared a dinner for us, and I witnessed one of the grossest things in my life.
His apartment block has a pest problem. Again, I can understand that, nobody is safe from a roach problem. And again, but…
His mom served us food and I saw a fucking cocroach crawling in it. I was like what eww. I decided to not say anything, thinking they would notice. They noticed but did nothing. I finally pointed out that there is a fucking cockroach in our casserole. My boyfriend just took it crushed it with his bare hands, then continued to eat without cleaning his hands. His mom then pushed the dish where the roach was to me and asked me why I'm not eating. I said I wasn't that hungry.
Now, it didn't happened once. There were like three roaches crawling in the food and every time it was the same.
I was like what the fuck ewww.
Honestly, I'm ready to break up after that shit.
There is being poor, and there is… this.

Barf, I witnessed something similar at my ex's apartment only it was ants that were crawling on the plates with food and it didn't seem to bother anyone. It's super weird. I get it that sometimes it's hard to get rid of insects completely because they live in the house, not just your flat (although there are services that can deal with it and this problem can be solved). But you can still kind of control the situation, buy poison, traps, hide all the food carefully. My family flat was infested with german cockroaches several times and they never had the audacity to crawl on the table when we ate there.

Girl who has an online romantic history with my boyfriend confessed her love to him despite me amd him living together and fairly solid. He's not encouraged this in any way but it peeved me a little. What did she hope to gain from it? He's being willfully ignorant about it imo. Thinking "oh she's just lonely" I think she's romanticised something they have never and will never have and I don't understand her intent. Surely the decent thing is take a step back and leave him alone? Tbh I don't have a great understanding of romantic relationships or people in general but I'm uncomfortable about it and even though she is still his friend am I being paranoid and asking to much to want him to cut back on their contact? I don't want to be controlling but honestly the girl is a major red flag. Single mother with men all round her simping but they aren't good enough. Only this one (admittedly rather damaged) man across the world will do. Anyway I'm typing this because today out of nowhere she messaged "wish you were here with me" and I don't see that as anything other than romantic intent.i kinda want to tell her to take a fucking step back and sort herself out because he's never going to want her

why is he still talking to her? this is his problem not yours. I guess it's nice you're open with eachother enough to read his messages but he should have already told her like yesterday that he was in a relationship and he's not doing this with her. then when she keeps messaging him romantic stuff he's supposed to say goodbye and block her because she's not respecting his relationship.
unless you're both reading the messages as some kind of sick game to torment this woman? I'm guessing she doesn't know you read them and he's kept that secret from her / hasn't told her how close you two are.

Did your bf even tell her that you exist? I'm sorry but when love confessionals get that far, usually it's because he's keeping up some illusion somewhere that he's single, or at least "open." Yeah, sure, she could very well be out of her mind and also looking for a fling, but he needs to set some serious boundaries if he has any respect for you at all. These kinds of things are almost always icebergs.

Don't let him lie and say "well she never asked directly if I was single so…" Complete bullshit. There seems to be this running theme of men poorly hiding their relationships from potential branch-swings lately, even if those aren't viable relationships.

I get this, however, I lost my virginity to someone the ideal way, very sweet and romantic, and then eventually he started pushing my sexual boundaries in the relationship and raped me. I think having a good introduction to sex is helpful but you can also be traumatized by that same person who gave you a romantic and sweet first time. All that to say that it isn’t just the first time that’s important although a traumatizing first time will warp your view of sex significantly. I hope you find someone who will be sweet and gentle with you.

I'm so sorry that this is very long but I desperately need advice and had to write it all out. I'm seeing a therapist as well but am probably going to look for another one.

I want to break up with my boyfriend of 7 years. When we first started dating things were great and things were 'normal' per say. However over the years it's been a slow burn to me realizing that we don't really fit that well and I'm just a completely different person than when I first started dating him.
Firstly I'm a huge homebody. I rarely go out, I really just enjoy staying home and gaming/working/working out. I've never been much of a party or social person in general and it's honestly gotten more apparent over the years how much I really dislike that stuff. He's the opposite– While he's kind of a homebody sometimes he really enjoys going to parties/concerts/shows etc or hosting them. This has been kind of a big contention for us over the years as he regularly hosts or goes to these things and I absolutely HATE going with him. I have 0 issues with him going alone or with friends or anything but I personally can't stand it. I've tried a few times and every single time I end up hating it and feeling awful and drained for days. We've gotten into a lot of arguments over this because he feels like he puts effort into making these plans and that I should be supportive by going even if I hate it, which I get, but I just don't have the mental energy for it anymore. During the lockdown, this wasn't an issue because we couldn't go out, so for a few years I didn't even realize how different we were on this aspect until after the lockdown stopped.

One of the biggest issues is that we don't see each other often enough for him. Which is true, we only really see each other once a week, which I know isn't enough but it's just too draining for me mentally and emotionally to see him more than that. I haven't hung out with any of my friends in almost an entire year because all my mental energy is drained after hanging with him so I have no social energy for my friends. Every time I hang with him, the next day I'm the most depressed/anxious ever, and it's a slow climb to feeling 'normal' again day by day (which ends up getting drained that following weekend). This wasn't always the case but the last few years it's gotten REALLY bad to the point I'm about to have a mental break down from the constant cycle.

Every time we hang out, we end up drinking (heavily). We just drink, and talk, and eventually have sex. The literal 2 times in all these years that I didn't drink, the day ended badly because I was 'too down' and 'being a bitch'. But I don't even like drinking anymore, I only really do it with him because it gives me energy and I'm more social/sexual for him, because when I don't, he gets frustrated with me about various things that are unrelated to me not drinking. Usually related to the fact I don't see him enough because he's been 'very patient with me' about how often we hang out.
And lastly, he's been lowkey saying things that have been upsetting me greatly but I rarely get the time/space to talk about what he does/says that upsets me.
Some examples:
- he regularly says lowkey sexist things like how most women are dumb but I'm 'not like other girls' because I'm smart. I don't think he realizes that this isn't a compliment.
- he talks down to me a lot, and HAS to be right about whatever he's talking about. Even if I try to debate it with him, he refuses to ever be wrong. He thinks most people are dumb/unaware/don't know things, and that he's the only one that's not crazy. He acknowledges that I might have a skillset or two that he doesn't have, but that if he spent time/cared enough to learn, he could probably get there too.
- he's very controlling. This wasn't an issue so much when we started as I don't mind it a bit, but it's gotten really bad now. He keeps trying to push me into things he thinks I need/want even when I say no or are hesitant, from like working out more to coming over more to whatever else. It's always his way or the highway.

Because we don't see each other enough, we try just focus on being happy/enjoying ourselves instead of 'talking about negative stuff', but also when I do try to talk about something he did or said that upset me, he gets mad at me and either says 'do you really have to bring this up?' or 'did that REALLY upset you?' or 'well may be if we saw each other more I wouldn't be doing x', or just deflects and talks about the things I did/said wrong as a reply instead of going through my point first. I keep everything to myself now because it feels like I don't have a right to talk about them since I 'don't make more time to spend' with him.
I feel so so so so bad about all of this because I don't want to hurt him and I know leaving him will probably devastate him because he's told me many times that he's very much in love with me more than any of his exes, but I can't continue this relationship. I've told him before that I'm severely depressed now and don't have the energy to see him, and have already tried to kill myself twice. He thinks it's because I don't leave the house and 'don't do anything', but the truth is I just don't want to be in a relationship of any kind with anyone right now. I'm already very aromantic, but my libido is completely and utterly gone (unless I'm drinking) and I don't even enjoy drinking or sex at all anymore. It's been 7 years though, and I know he'll get angry due to the sunk loss fallacy and all. I really just want to so badly be alone to myself so I can focus on myself, my family and rebuilding my mental state, but I'm scared to say it, and don't know how to say it, because I think he'll be explosively angry at me for 'wasting all these years' for him (since he says he's been extremely patient with me), and possibly do or say something to hurt me, I don't know. I'm like shaking typing this because I really think he might say or do something to hurt me.

You need to break up with him. How the fuck are you guys together 7 years and yet you have to be drunk to see him occasionally? Most couples by 7 years are living together and enjoying mundane moments together, not making themselves inebriated enough to have sex and tolerate the other person. And who cares how it will affect him or “make him sad”, think of yourself. Life is short and every moment you spend with this moid could be spent elsewhere making yourself happier. You also deserve to be open to a relationship where you feel comfortable enough to not have to drink to please your partner.

Samefag but if you think you’re in danger please tell your family and start planning to leave. I’ve heard restraining orders do jack shit if your moid is already violent but it may help in your case. Furthermore if you really get the feeling he’s going to get angry and retaliate against you because you wanna break up then you have to leave him. Does he have a firearm or access to one? If so you might want to try relocating/disappearing.

I want to break up with him 100%. I'm just extremely scared he's going to do something, either physically or character assassinate me with my friends/coworkers etc. He doesn't have a firearm thankfully but I'm considering asking a friend to come with me when I have to speak to him/collect anything. He's tried to get me to move in with him but I've refused many times. The drinking wasn't even an issue until the last year or two when I realized (from the moments I tried not to drink) that he gets MAD that I'm not 'high energy and happy' (because I'm drunk), and that I have to be drunk to hang with him at all or it leads to arguments. You're right though, I'm just extremely afraid of what's going to happen to do something.

Are your social circles very integrated or something? What information are you scared about him spreading? Because I doubt that he could tell your coworkers something that would jeopardize your job and if he does then just say he’s crazy and lying. And if you’re referring to his friends then just know that any friends who started out on his side are going to stay on his side. I have an ex who I know for a fact tells everyone I was crazy (he did the same to his exes) and hates me because I caught him cheating and instead of letting it slide, I went and told the woman who he cheated with, ruining his monkeybranching attempt. In this case I know he despises me but because I have separated myself fully (geographically, socially, etc.) I don’t hear about it because my life is completely separate from his ever since we broke up. My ex is highly manipulative and plays the victim in everything he does. I know his nature and that he’s buttered up the stories with his new gf and some of his friends and yet I’ve never had anyone reach out to me with the because 1) they prob take his word for it and 2) they don’t care enough to reach out to shame me despite the theatrics and pathological lying that paint me in a bad light. Just don’t expect to keep any of the same friends and you should be okay. You will be better off in the long run. And also if it helps my ex called me transphobic (bc I’m a radfem) and likely told other people and his current gf for sympathy points. But I haven’t heard about it and it so far has not come back to hurt me kek. If I went to our college reunion it might though.

Samefag but I also was scared about my ex circulating revenge porn when I caught him cheating. The most you can do is keep your life separate from theirs so that your social circle is not impacted AND also be wary of what you give moids. Not trying to victim shame but as someone who once did it, I’m of the opinion woman should take naked pictures of herself ever. Unfortunately once you do it you’re basically at their mercy of whether or not they want to leak them. Anything else like unsavory political opinions or weird stories can just be chalked up to lying. If your coworkers confront you about something he says then act surprised and say that he’s projecting his own story onto you because moids do that all the time and it’s a great excuse.
HOWEVER there is a massive chance that he will not actually do anything to defame you. If you want to minimize the chances of this happening then you can try and manipulate him into thinking he’s breaking up with you kek.

very much so unfortunately. I wouldn't even care about losing the friends I made that are related/more his friends, but he's close to coworkers that I don't want hating me for 0 reason. It's been making me go insane to the point I'm considering switching careers completely, moving to another country, and removing myself in any kind of way from it all. Your story really helps me feel mentally okay about it because at the very least there's no cheating and lying (that I know of?) from him, and he has no nudes of me (I'm too paranoid to send any moid photos of me like that) and knowing that you went through that and there wasn't any bs back to you that you had to deal with with the aftermath is so relieving to hear. I don't think I could manipulate him into leaving me without it causing an even bigger issue because he is extremely attached to me and also I'm a terrible fucking liar lol he'd see right through it.

Oh ofc thank you, I feel like I word vomited my own story but I’m glad it gave you some comfort. My ex truly was unhinged when I confronted him on the cheating so I got lucky that no permanent damages came of it even though it gives me anxiety. One bit of advice: You guys have dated for 7 years so idk if he really has a robust romantic history but if you have any stories he’s told you about exes then that’s probably your best indicator of how he’s going to talk about you. If he has no stories like that then think of how he’s reacted to friends or people who he felt “betrayed” by in the past.

He doesn't like, go out of his way to shit talk that much outside of one specific ex, but I also don't go out of my way to ask about any of them except for that one ex because I indirectly know her (and granted, that one ex IS actually insane, has BPD and did actually cheat on him with his best friend, she admitted it to me herself but she told me it was because he was abusive/manipulative. I sided with him because I hate cheaters regardless of the excuse and had been cheated on before myself). Even though she did that he like, didn't go out of his way to shit on her to people outside of telling me the full details of the drama between them. So I guess that's a greenflag because she did something horrible and he didn't go out of his way? But he's also apparently more attached to me than he was with her, so I don't know, he might feel more betrayed that I'm leaving him than what she did.

stop giving yourself excuses and leave him. trying to rationalize him being not so bad of a human will keep you around him for another 7 years, you already said yourself he is a sexist pos and looks down on women. it's already a dead relationship and it's only making your life worse. you don't want to be in this relationship, have the spine to end it instead of dragging its' corpse around.

Would finding a guy who lives 60 miles away from you be considered long distance? He's been living out far for half a year to help his brother and nephew, he briefly mentioned it's about time he'd find a place of his own about 30 miles away, maybe closer, so he can be in the same town as his work.
Anyways, the distance sucks. We've been meeting midway on his days off to make up for it all. Since we've met in person, texting turns me off. I feel like I want to preserve everything for in person because I cherish it more.
We're not committed yet, we've only known each other for two weeks, so this is very new to us. Both of us want a long term relationship and he's expressed how it's important to do work to keep a relationship going, so I feel secure in going forward with him. We also have bonded over working in similar fields, so it feels very comfortable being with him. We've had sex and he takes care of me well.
I had a previous ex who lived 100 miles away and we arranged to have him move in with me before we even committed, big mistake on my part, but the point is I do not like distance.
The guy I'm seeing now works 12 hour overnights and he sleeps when I'm at work. He has more than 2 days off in a row so we're able to see each other for at least 2 days.
I just want to know how to manage a relationship like this? Should I be more open to texting and expressing more of myself that way? It just feels so unlike me. I mean, I used to be that way, but that was me in the past. I could do phone calls, but again, some days he's busy at work. Like, I'm just considering the fact he usually only gets 2 hours for himself on his work days. Although yes he still texts me, I don't want to bother him too much. Like, the excitement of getting to know each other died down once we met in person because we asked each other so many questions. And now I have a "boring" daily life where I work out, grocery shop, and go to the library sometimes.

No real advice other than that you should carefully plan a complete and total separation from him and when you execute it do it swiftly and do not leave any sort of opening back into your life or form of communication available to him (you don't need to hear what he has to say about it; the way you have been bending yourself over backwards to become the thing he wants at the cost of your own quality of life is actually tragic, you can't trust yourself to listen to him and not cave) NO CONTACT. You are fortunate you didn't ever move in with him this could be way harder if you had.
I am so sorry you found yourself in this situation. I feel like a happy future where you can breathe is closer than you think. Get away from him.

No visits to his place yet, but he does live with his brother. I found his address and his brother also lives there and so does the name of his ex. I found his brother's Facebook and bro does have a child and confirmed the child's mother is her.
Also confirmation of his work hours, he works for the city so the hours he works are posted.

You're becoming codependent on him because he's not able to fulfill your needs. Are you telling him what your love language is? Is he doing more things to help you achieve the feeling of being loved? If he's actively not putting in the effort, he's not that into you. If this is one sided where he's taking love from you and not giving love back to you, he's taking you for granted. He wants a mom, not a girlfriend.

seems like you lack self-esteem. relationships should be 50/50, both parties should compromise when needed and try to find common ground, like sharing activities you both like so both of you can have a good time. if you show that kind of weakness you will attract moids who seek that and they won't bother putting more efforts because you don't challenge them anyway. showing affection should be spontaneous and natural when you are in a relationship, if you have to beg for it it's a really bad sign. just bluntly tell him that you don't feel loved and feel taken for granted, see his reaction, and give him a solution depending on what you would want more (affection, quality time together, etc.), making it clear that he should do something about it now. if he doesn't act on it you have your answers. good luck nona

>anons wtf am i doing wrong?
It sounds like you're a giver, and that's the worst possible dynamic you can be if you choose the wrong moid. In the early stages of a relationship, you should put aside your feelings for him (because you can be blinded by infatuation) and ask yourself "what is he doing for me? how is he showing up for me? am i proud of him and how he treats me?" Generally, if a guy really likes you and cares about you, he'll go above and beyond for you and show you that throughout the relationship. Your boyfriend fucking sucks by the way. He should be doing everything he can to make you happy.

Well, I definitely do but I know it isn't ideal since the goal is to keep him around so I can continue to sleep with him indefinitely (in a relationship). Also the dangers of infections scare me.

I'd say wait before you're really in a relationship with him, not because you have to protect your virginity (made up sexist concept) but to test him. You don't have a lot of experience and you haven't met him once and are already thinking about being in a relationship with him? Slow down your hormones and try to think clearly, put the rose-colored glasses off for a second and start by meeting this person and getting to know them. If you take your time it will be easier to tell if he's really interested in you or in having sex. There's no need to rush or compare yourself with others. Don't think about 'what's normal' but what's good for you. Please be careful, as someone inexperienced it is easier to get fooled by men. Protect yourself for piv and oral sex if you don't want to risk infections, also ask for a test if he has a sexual history. If he doesn't want to do it you know he doesn't care about your health, so move on.

They are close friends and as far as I can tell he is not at all comfortable with her bringing up comments like this. But I'm honestly fed up of it at this point.

Just masturbate, please don’t let your horniness get to you and sleep with him early on. Let him show more of himself so you can get a good idea of who he is before you have sex with him. I used to sleep with my exes really early on due to being horny after years of celibacy and I can say that there is value in making them wait. The last time I had a boyfriend who I slept with early, the entire relationship became about sex on my part and I didn’t even realize we had nothing in common and were extremely incompatible. Plus most men are repulsive with some character defect, so give him some time and let him reveal that to you in order to make an informed decision.

My boyfriend and I have had a near dead bedroom for a year and i'm about to lose my mind! His libido has been super low lately and I've been feeling insecure about it. So we had a talk a few nights ago and came to the conclusion that I just have to wait for him to make the first move. I just feel awful, I feel like he doesn't find me attractive anymore but i don't want to pressure him into having sex if he isn't in the mood. Just the feeling of getting rejected by my own boyfriend feels so awful that I've spent way too many night crying myself to sleep while his explanation is most of the time that his back hurts or something similar. I just don't know what to do anymore, I've had sex dreams about cheating on him for too many time and I feel like I'm just one too many shots away for doing it for real

If it has been like that for a year he should know what's his issue and shouldn't still use excuses like his back hurting, there seems to be a communication issue that's concerning.

I'm in a similar boat. The difference is that mine has been ill for the past six months or so but even in the "breaks" from his illness he still wasn't interested at all in fucking. He caved in and sometimes initiated but felt like pity sex, felt as if he was throwing me a crumble of dick out of his generosity and magnanimity. Kek this is horrible nona idk what to do too. I started having intrusive thoughts about fucking other moids (sometimes random, sometimes friends we interact with) and since it is really unusual for me I thought I had a brain tumor I swear kek.

More like a me problem than a problem with my partner but wasn't sure whether to post it here or the vent thread. I was in a toxic relationship for several years but dependent as hell and too afraid to leave. I fell in love with a friend of mine during that relationship but never did anything about it. My ex forced me to cut ties with my friend due to a different reason, so I never told anyone about my feelings. I'm the type of loser to prioritise a shitty relationship just to be loyal to a partner and whatever. Eventually I was brave enough to leave when the physical abuse went too far. When single again, all I could think of was that friend but I had heard rumours about her hating my guts so I was afraid to reach out. As time passed I met someone great and I was so happy. Until I ran into her again long story short we quickly became friends again. She was really sweet when I told her everything (except about the feelings for her ofc), and she forgave me for cutting ties when my ex pressured me to. Soon after reconnecting I realised I was still just as in love with her, but I hoped it would pass.
It's been over a year since we reconnected, my chest hurts whenever I think about her and I feel terrible. If it wasn't physically painful it would be fine, but for the past year I have been crying all the time. Whenever my girlfriend is home and spending time with me I feel relatively okay, but whenever I'm alone I feel like shit. Delulu so lately her posts have seemed like she's moping about me, trying to tell myself it's not real. I intend to brush my feelings under the rug again because I truly love my girlfriend. I just hate how much it hurts and wish the pain would go away. It feels worse than when I thought she hated me.

I don't think this applies to you, but my exmoid decided to beg/pressure/coerce me into sexual acts, so that just killed the relationship. So ideally you're not trying to force him or insisting that he does it. If my moid had told me that he understood and never tried to pressure me, I would have been a lot more comfortable, empathetic, and willing to do stuff when I was feeling ok. Instead I just panicked whenever I wasn't feeling too sick, because I felt guilty over not doing it, and that made me want to avoid it even more. It became a chore, something I had to do to please him, and not because I was in the mood for it.
Idk what kind of illness your bf has, but in some cases you have no choice but to stop sex. But if you're understanding and kind, the other person will be more willing to be intimate with you and do other kind of sexual stuff. You have to understand this isn't about you. He's not rejecting you, he's sick. I'm sure every single day he wishes he wasn't sick and could have a normal relationship with you.

I would get angry with my bf because he was insisting, but he himself didn't realize he was insisting. So he thought insisting 2 or 3 times was ok. I would initially try to say no nicely, change the subject, try to do another activity, ignore his advances, just nicely say I'm not feeling ok, and then he would insist again 2-3 times, and that's when I would snap and get angry. Then he would get sad and say I was being mean when I said no.
Maybe you're unknowinly missing his signals. You should talk to him about how you can make it clear for both of you that he doesn't want to do it. And when he gives you this signal, show him you understand and stop immediately. If he's initially agreeing and then stopping you, it sounds like he's trying to force himself and then stops because he can't do it. I also did the same, would let my bf kiss me because I felt guilty but then had to stop him because I couldn't force myself to do it. But it was never because I didn't like him, it was because I was in pain or mentally exhausted because of the chronic pain. Feeling sad is understandable, but there really is no choice but to understand that he isn't doing this because he doesn't like you. Every day I would try to cure my illness, find the cause, and get better so I could have a normal relationship with my moid. Everything I did was for him. If he haddn't been around, I would have tried to get assisted suicide to stop the pain. I couldn't die and hurt him like that, so I kept trying to fix myself because I loved him. Hopefully your bf feels the same way.

Nonas, I've been dating this guy who I met off Bumble for about a month and a half now and we've gone out three times. It's been going really well and he is still initiating dates. I'm still a virgin and he's literally the only person I've ever dated, and he knows I'm new to this… He's a lot older and has a pretty impressive job, but thankfully he never brings up the difference in experience and doesn't ever talk down to me. The main issue so far has been communication - his work schedule is very volatile, so it can take sometimes up to a day for him to respond to me. I've tried not to let that bother me though. He had some time to message me this evening while at work, and he asked me on another date, which I agreed to. I still have my Bumble account up mostly to see if he's updated his profile (cringe I know), and apparently he added a new photo around the same time he initiated the next date with me… I know I shouldn't expect a moid to be exclusive this early on but I don't know. I can't help but feel deflated and confused now. Is this a red flag for you nonas or should I try not to let it bother me? I've been told to go on dates with other people but that's just too messy for me. I feel bad because he's been really respectful of my boundaries and hasn't made any attempts to make it sexual yet. That along with some other endearing and nerdy traits actually comes across as slightly autistic and passive to me. But now I'm paranoid that maybe he's out sleeping with other girls because there's been no PDA/sex yet and he's just biding his time with me. I mean, I get it that he has needs or whatever but it's just weird thinking that he might be extremely gentlemanly with me but trying to get laid elsewhere. All speculative, I know. Sorry for the long post, nonas.

Anyway, you're just another girl in his rotation. It makes sense for women to do this because most men are not worth the exclusivity until they've proven themselves, but men who do this are whores. Sorry. Just because you're a virgin doesn't mean you need to settle for any guy who gives you attention. Be extra picky and selective because the wrong moid will add a lot of drama to your life. It really helps to ask yourself how he makes you feel. If he was right for you you wouldn't be feeling this unsure right now. You've just started dating him, he shouldn't be making you feel this shitty already.

Nope. It's completely normal to constantly question everything a moid because your brain is trying to protect you. Most moids are not worth shit and will actively make your life worse.

It’s depressing as fuck. All women are competing for the 1% of moids who aren’t porn addicts/manwhores/degenerates, who actually have their lives and shit together, who aren’t commitment phobes, and who would actually make good husband and father material. No wonder so many women are miserable and disillusioned with dating and marriage.

>dating guys younger than you is better. For some reason younger guys look up to you more and want to go out of their way to impress you. They’re also more interested in you as a person and getting to know you
>date normies. You may want someone who shares similar weird interests with you but normies are way less misogynistic than quirky or nerdy guys and are more respectful, funny, and less gross. I will only ever be attracted to normies from now on.

Literally why men have been preying on and destroying young girls forever. Intelligence and street smarts vary but age almost always brings wisdom and experience that outstrips younger people's wisdom and experience. The balance is to keep the age gap small enough that you gently intimidate and impress them without making it so wide that the relationship is inherently unserious.

why would being much older than the guy make the relationship inherently unserious? Look at Macron with his wife
The only problem with a much younger husband is that you inevitably get forced into the mommy role and that can get exhausting

Years ago dating a non normie guy could work out well. Now you're nearly always gonna find that guy will eventually slip up and start repeating incel tier shit mid argument because that's a rabbit hole he went down before he found you. Pops up here all the time too. The sweet geek awkward autism having shy guy geek bf spews incel shit and the gf is floored after he's been hiding that side so long. Are we really surprised by that anymore.

Really don't know how so many anons still have this weirdly romanticized view of awkward/geeky/slightly tisty guys as if they're puppy dogs or equals. Even if you are awkward/geeky/tisty yourself.. generally doesn't pay off to seek out the same unless you are dating other women.

I’ve always avoided geeky men. They’re never as sweet or wholesome as they pretend to be. As a general rule, men who spend too much time on the internet and don’t interact with real women are usually more misogynistic and out of touch because they watch too much porn, don’t interact with normal women, only talk to bpd girls and onlyfans whores, and get used to edited images and videos of women to the point just seeing completely normal imperfections on a woman disgusts them. Men who actually socialize, talk to women irl, don’t spend every waking moment watching porn, and who are exposed to completely average and normal looking women in reality are almost always a better bet than shut in nerds losers and geeks.

My first thought was what the hell is your boyfriend doing to make you feel secure and safe in the relationship? If you have some skinwalker continuously flirting with him, ask yourself why she is allowed to do that and why he isn't putting a stop to it. This is ultimately on him for encouraging her actions. He clearly likes the attention since this is ongoing, and he probably finds her attractive too or else he would shut her down and call her a weirdo/retard/whatever young 20 year old zoomers say nowadays. Have a serious talk with your boyfriend about this. Mention how strange her behaviors are and why is he friends with her. How would he feel if you had a guy doing the same thing to you? As a matter of fact, bring some guy friend or whoever to act out the same thing in front of him and see his ego crumples. Be autistically honest like him about it too, nona. Friends don't flirt around with friends.

What is it like being in a serious relationship with a guy who isn't a virgin? It has become increasingly apparent that me and my boyfriend are not compatible and there is no fixing it, and that I need to just leave. We took eachothers virginity though, and I feel like my chances of dating another virgin are ruined as a result. Most would either straight up not want to date a non virgin, or feel majorly insecure about it if they did. The problem with dating a guy who isn't a virgin though, is that I would also feel majorly insecure and jealous over it. I am trying to be less insecure, but that aside, I feel like it'd cause other objective problems regardless. A moid who has been with other women would probably lust after other women far more than a moid who has only been with me. I feel so lost.

i'm not sure why you feel this way nonna. virgin moids often have weird hang ups about sex and women (look at incels) and you taking his virginity and being the only woman he has had sex with is absolutely no guarantee that he won't find other women attractive, look at porn, or even cheat on you. your jealousy and insecurity issues are causing you to idealize virgins when in reality they're just as capable of treating you badly as males with sexual experience.

No. 397238

This is why people should wait until marriage. That way, you can get the virgin you want without the likelihood of breaking up and no longer having your virginity to get another virgin.
Sorry, but any worthwhile (not incel) virgin moid wants, not unjustly, a virgin girl. If being with a virgin is so important, you should have waited until marriage, so you're only reaping what you sowed.

I will never forgive life for making me straight. I can't believe males actually get to own virgins who are only attracted to them. We're so vulnerable to STDs compared to them but still have to make-do with used up whores with AIDS bumps on their dicks. Simply kissing a man over the age of 25 is guaranteed to make you taste over 5+ women's pussies. Kissing is literally gay sex at this point.

I wouldn’t mind dating a virgin moid who is 18-23.

But imo virgin men over 25 are always horribly toxic. Most of them are porn addicts with insanely high standards and haven’t had sex yet, simply because 10/10 18 year old Stacy with giant boobies and a perfect ass hasn’t come banging down their door yet.

Unironically manwhores are less picky and much more comfortable with how real life womens bodies are irl and know how to please better. Even if you find a virgin unicorn bf over 23, chances are he’s a chronic porn user who hates women.

Not true at all, a lot of men love the idea of having a nice little loyal wife that they can cheat on with women on the side. They love the safety of marital life and having a woman constantly cleaning up their messes, while eating their cake on the side too.

Honestly at this point I think the only winning move in dating scrotes is a) not to play at all and become comfortable with being alone or platonic type male company or b) cheat and have backup guys yourself before he can cheat on you (his porn use counts as cheating btw).

Men are not trustworthy in the least nowadays, and believe me, if men had as many dating options at their disposal as us women do, they would ALL have side chicks and cheat too. The only thing that stops men cheating 99% of the time is opportunity and lack of available women.

Porn makes men think sex is easily accessible and readily available, which is why they like it as it appeals to their moid centric world fantasies. But the truth is it’s actually pretty difficult for the average guy to get laid and it’s even more rare for women to put out for just any dude, unless she’s an extremely promiscuous woman (rare) or unless he’s not picky at all and willing to sleep with horny + desperate unattractive women.

Male bpd is bpd on fucking steroids. I wouldn't have any type of intimate relationship with one. Especially not some power play dynamic no matter how harmless n subby he claims to be.

Studies on male vs female bpd always tip toe around how oh it's basically the same in presentation and then comes the delicately put
>Males with BPD were more likely to present externalizing symptoms
That's just DV and physically/aggressivley lashing out at others. Women who date them end up sadly bragging about how theirs goes into blinding rages but manages to punch holes in the wall and not in her so far. That's where the bar set at when getting close to them. Everything short of actually punching women is a grand accomplishment for the poor bpd men.

Is bpd really that bad? One of my guy friends has it and he’s just a bit of a drama queen sometimes if you hurt his feelings. But the rest of the time he’s really nice. If anything I think it just makes people kinda pathetic and hypersensitive, not demons like moids try to pain bpd (especially bpd women) as. I’ve dated narcissists and I’d say they’re far far worse, more sadistic, less empathetic and just overall more damaging and closer to psychos. Bpd seems like a silly moe yandere character.

On vacation with my bf and he just broke down crying after we had safe sex. He was terrified of getting me pregnant, wanted me to take plan b, again we had safe sex. He admitted he wasn’t sure if he wanted to break up and just be alone, but got really upset when I said I wouldn’t remain friends with him if he didn’t want a relationship. Through his crying he admitted he didn’t want kids, even though we’ve talked about having kids together and he said he wanted them before. We had a lot of things planned for this trip but he has flaked on most of them. I’m trying to be understanding because I know he has a lot of social anxiety. We didn’t break up because he said he would go to therapy 1st before making a final choice.

Cancel it. Often the pressure to go on too many dates too soon kills the sexual tension and anticipation in the getting to know each other stage. Cancel the date, take some space away from him without the pressure, and see how you feel then.

If you start to miss him and regret cancelling, that’s a sign you might be more into him than you thought, so just call him up and arrange another date (guys will always say yes because they’re desperate kek).

If not, and you don’t regret cancelling or feel any kind of attachment to him, then you’ve saved both his time and your own by cancelling the date and he can start to process the fact you’re not into him by creating space between you. It’s a win win situation.

Is it normal to become resentful because a man expects sex from you while in a hetero relationship?

It’s the same with anything sexual like nudes, lingerie etc. I enjoy sending nudes and wearing beautiful lingerie as I please, but as soon as my Nigel starts expecting it, it just turns me off so fast and I start withdrawing from him because it makes me feel pressured to do this stuff on his watch, which I hate.

finding virgin men is super easy obviously. But I will never date a virgin male ever again. It is extremely necessary to see how a man gas treated women in his past, otherwise YOU will be the trial and error. Virgin men absolutely do have hangups and will get uncomfortable about having no sexual experience besides you unless they have unhealthy views about virginity, such as being a non-virgin making one dirty. Im sure there are a number of outliers who are kind of sweet, but as I said: outliers.
Dont date a man unless he has a resume, it is always always way too dangerous to get involved with a virgin man, especially the older they are. Everything men say about women and virginity is a projection, the sexual history of a man is the single most important thing to be able to know about. There's no pressure to follow this advice, but I think its important to understand the differences, risks and red flags when it comes to males virginity. Of course dating a non virgin has way more risks and issues on the direct surface. But at least these issues can be assessed, even if he lies. Virgin males are russian roulette with cery dire odds.

I’ve been talking to a moid from Hinge for about a couple of weeks. We went on a date last Thursday and got dinner - he asked me if I was free and I said yes and we both agreed on a date/time. I really liked that he took initiative and organised it and we went out and I think we really got on well! Our flow wasn’t awkward, we had some interesting conversation, he had a good sense of humor, and he was very polite to both me and the servers. He paid for my food, opened doors for me and waited with me for my train when we finished. After dinner he mentioned taking the train back and I said I would like to keep hanging out with him. Perhaps I might have given off a different intention, because he asked me if I was interesting in doing anything afterwards (insinuating something sexual), and I said I wasn’t looking for that in that moment and I would prefer to know him a bit more first. He was fine with that and asked to kiss me and I agreed (a little kiss).
The only thing glaringly obvious is that his texting responses are EXTREMELY SLOW. As in, like, he will respond to my texts once a day. As a Gen Z texter, I am naturally very impatient and am used to fast and constant texting, which is unfortunately the nature of the relationships I usually have with others, especially those I have had relationships with. I think he genuinely doesn’t use his phone that often, he was hardly using it at all during the date and I didn’t see him text anyone else.
Basically, I’m trying to work out if this extremely inconsistent texting is a bad or a good thing. I personally kind of like getting to know him more in person, because I’m used to meeting someone completely online and we have almost a parasocial relationship completely online. However, I also like a bit more frequent conversation, but I don’t want to freak him out by sounding attached and asking for more frequent texting since he might be busy etc.

Right now, cherish that he's giving you the space, because he likely can't find an opportunity to physically see you right now and he values in person communication most. Maybe he's busy. My guy is like this, during his free time he's tending to the farm at home or helping take care of family members.
I'm used to the suffocating chase from insecure moids during the beginning stages which leads to them backing down, but then I start chasing that feeling of how he was in the beginning and it starts to annoy him. I've given this opportunity to send my messages and then go do my own thing without letting my world stop, as long as in person there's tons of connection and attention.

Slow repliers are a dealbreaker to me. I don’t text my partner often, maybe only once or twice a day, and when I do, it’s not like I expect a text wall. An acknowledgment or simple reply is enough, within a couple hours max.

But there’s no excuse for a moid leaving someone on read for a whole day or more, having your phone on you, everyone does nowadays. Unless he has an insanely busy work life, which I doubt in this dudes case, it’s disrespectful and an indicator of being selfish or not caring about others imo.

Even my ADHD ex, who was horrible with time blindness and forgetfulness, and suffered from object impermanence as most ADHD peeps do, would still remember to reply to me at least a couple times during the day. If he could do it then there’s no excuse for someone neurotypical.

Unless like I said he works hectic 14 hour days or some shit as an emergency room doctor. And even then I see doctors texting on their phones all the time during their breaks so still no excuse.

This is for sure more of a me issue than a relationship issue, but I fear it will affect my relationship if I don’t fix my mindset. I’ve met the absolute most perfect guy for me on so many levels. We’ve been seeing each other for almost a month now. He’s been so sweet, he’s being taking me on dates, never pushed for sex when I wasn’t ready and has been respectful and attentive towards me. We were friends in the same group for months before we pursued each other. He’s a nerdy guy, I’ve literally never seen him really flirt with random girls or act like a fuckboy, but I know he’s hooked up with a few of our friends before I ever met him, and that’s where the jealousy begins. I literally become fuming internally with jealousy anytime I perceive a girl is flirting with him or wants to take him from me. I’ve done an “ok” job at hiding the extent of my jealousy because I know it is not rational and very extreme, but he’s aware that I think a lot of other girls flirt with him. I instantly feel disrespected and angry if anyone accidentally says something “off” that makes me questions his or their intentions, even if it’s just a joke. He literally always opens his snapchat and texts in front of me when we’re hanging out (by choice, I’ve never asked) and I can see that he’s talking to literally no other girl but me. I want to be able to process this relationship normally but the thought of losing him or having it go wrong makes me want to control everything and fight every girl away even though I can reasonably understand he’s the only boy I’ve ever dated that probably won’t fuck me over. I’ve also NEVER had a jealousy problem with any of my exes so this is really really weird to me. I know that I’m beautiful, I know that he likes me a lot and is taking things seriously. I still feel like shit. How do I not ruin things and feel better about managing these feelings?

Oh okay. Well then where did you get your opinions about non-virgin men being more likely to be terrible than virgin men? Did you form that opinion from other women’s stories?

No. 397559

>>397558
Partly from hearing other women, such as >>397556 above. It would be impossible to have a "jealousy problem" with a virgin.
Partly being derived a priori. If I don't believe in sex before marriage, he shouldn't either. If he has "pumped and dumped" other women, he is just as likely to do it to me.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying virgin moids are likely to be good. I'm only saying non-virgin moids are more likely to be worse.

Honestly I was going to say dating a virgin man is the best way to get cucked, but truth is no matter which man you get with you'll get cucked
If he's a virgin, he'll end up wondering what he missed out on and if he could appeal to other girls
If he's not a virgin, he'll miss his days of fucking around
At this point if you want to date a guy I'm convinced you just have to accept you'll get cucked eventually and that's that

nonnies… I recently dated this guy for two months. I had no expectations going into it but fell for him hard. our chemistry was off the charts. we had the same interests & long-term goals. the communication and sex were amazing. recently he told me that he's having a serious health crisis, and won't be able to handle the effort a relationship requires for now. we've been texting and talking about possibly continuing a relationship later as we both think this was something special.
I'm doing my best to give him all the space he needs while still remaining supportive. after all, he's the one this situation hurts the most. I really worry for him. at the same time though I'm heartbroken. I wish he would text me more and I wish he'd still show the same tenderness he did a month ago. and ik it's probably selfish for me to wish this, when he's struggling to manage his life and not have his neurological condition flaring up all the time.
all in all I'm finding this really hard to manage. I think about him all the time. what would you nonnies do in this situation?

He already works 14 hour days, so I feel bad for whining. Even on his days off he's sleeping in or helping take care of his sibling's baby.
I just want to see him nonnas. He says next month will be better and we can see each other more than this month. It's difficult to have to wait so long… Even in between we're texting and now I asked him if he'd be free to hang out and he said it's a maybe. I'm in tears, this sucks.

ayrt, he has malformations in his brain that cause him to get seizures all the time if his stress levels get too high. this spring has really been tough for him, due to having so much going on. he has to completely restructure his life, like he genuinely needs to now change his job and find a cheaper apt etc and focus on his own wellbeing above all. he said once he gets those things done he might already feel better and have the capacity for a romantic relationship again.

I hear ya, but considering the medical circumstances explained above I really think it is the case that it's legitimately just the health stuff. he knows I'm the kind of person who he can always be brutally honest with, and just to be sure I've asked him several times whether that really is the truth of the matter, and he's always said yes, this is only about his health.
I don't wanna date other guys, I wasn't even looking for anything romantic in general when I met him. no interest in having a scrote around if it's not him. I've been focusing on myself since we 'went on a break' and I do a good job at it but I feel hollow and depressed and everything has lost its point. the uncertainty fucks me up. I think I'll give him an ultimatum, either he step up and at least text me regularly or I'm cutting contact altogether.

For sure. Only time can tell for this one. Our careers are similar and he's wanting to help me with mine and provide materials for me.

He's also used to being with someone more local, at one point of his life he did have a girlfriend who lived in another country, but after that he had a relationship that lasted 6 years. To me that sounds like a positive sign he's in it for the long term.

It’s always a monkeys paw deal with moids, if it seems too good to be true it always is.

Weirdly, the type of men who I find most appealing and have dated (men who are polite, sweet from the get go, seem empathetic etc) have often turned out to have the most horrible shady secrets and flakiest most sneaky personalities of all. It’s so damn weird.

And often guys that I reject and write off as rude, grouchy or mean turned out to be incredibly kind and there for me when I needed it most. So I have no idea what to think anymore.

Honestly I’m considering ignoring my intuition and just dating a guy who seems like an asshole to me now.

It does indeed sound like that, sadly. My guess is he intention was to pump and dump nona (sorry) but he realized she was a nice girl and felt too guilty to cut her off suddenly.

It sounds like I'm becoming codependent on him. If it was a friend, I'd hope their conversations were deep enough to get such a reaction.

It's just been overall isolating even before I met him. I told him this and he understands how I feel.

Leaving you on read and not responding is pretty much how I acted towards my bf when I wanted to break up with him but didn’t have the heart to cut him off. I guarantee this moid isn’t just comatose laying in bed staring at the ceiling and groaning in pain, he’s probably still scrolling the internet or playing vidya despite his condition. If he can do that but can’t even be bothered replying to you within a few hours then he doesn’t care about you imo and is probably trying to let you down gently and hoping you’ll take the hint. I hope he genuinely cares about you and is just sick, but something sounds off about this situation nona. Keep us updated anyway.

No. 397896

It also doesn’t really make sense as a reason to break it off because in a month he will still have this condition and if he is an adult with a chronic medical condition he knows that fundamentally his situation will not be very different. Job changes and living arrangements are also parts of life, not reasons to break up. He does not see a long term relationship with her and broke things off.

I’ve started dating a guy. I want hopeful but it turned out he is really sweet and we get along amazingly. I think I’m falling in love with him. But now it’s getting to the stage where I guess things are supposed to get sexual. Anytime he tries anything, even just a kiss, I freeze up and run away. I have a shit ton of trauma from childhood regarding intimacy and also have BDD and hate my body. I’m starting to realize that I can’t feel comfortable around this moid because I like him too much and am too heavily emotionally invested in him. If he were to ghost me after sex or stop being interested, it would crush me. I don’t want to make myself vulnerable like that. He’s horny for me and wants to fuck, and so do I, since I’m very attracted to him. He hasn’t pressured me at all but it’s already been a few months and I can tell he’s getting tired of me constantly pushing him away. There’s no way I can take my clothes off in front of this man without wanting to kms. Should I just ghost him and save him and I the heartache? I wish I had sorted out my trauma before meeting him, because I genuinely have never felt so attracted or emotionally attached to someone irl before.

Nonnas I need advice. I have been in with my boyfriend for the past 6 years, who I love. We never argue or fight, but recently I've felt disconnected from him and getting annoyed by small things with him. Recently I've developed a friendship with a guy in my college, and I think I'm catching feelings for him. This friendship is relatively recent, but we were acquaintances for a while. I can't stop obsessing over him and keep secretly wishing that he hits on me or asks me out, despite the fact that I let it known I have a boyfriend. I think he may like me too, from his body language and him opening up to me despite us not knowing eachother for a while. I also feel so close with him despite not knowing him for a while.

Is this just a passing crush? This has only happened this week and I can't stop thinking about it. I haven't done any 'cheating', but I have compulsive thoughts of wishing he liked me back / intentionally leading him on. I feel so guilty both towards my boyfriend and to this guy.

How do I deal with this? Am I an emotional cheater? A doomed slut even?

No. 398046

Might you be wanting your bf to be more assertive and ambitious? Long term relationships become humdrum, people start just doing their own things, the relationship can stagnate. It’s hard to keep the emotional intensity if you’re not purposefully seeking exciting experiences to enjoy together, especially when you don’t fight ever. Personally Idc if you indulge the flirtationship or cheat for that matter, but at this stage you’re probably just bored. You’re obviously conflicted, even thrilled, very deliciously intense and darkly alluring emotions. If you’re not aware of where these feelings come from, you might start gaslighting yourself about how much you actually like the guy or how much he likes you. Truly think about your dissatisfactions in your relationship, make list of things that can be worked on and things that are hard to change.

I need to dump my bf for a myriad of reasons that I simply can’t put up with anymore. The problem is, I’ve never actually dumped anyone before (I have never been good at cutting people off) and am not exactly sure how to do it. I already tried to break up with him but he doesn’t take me seriously, it turned into a 3 hour long conversation with him begging me to take him back. I also end up feeling bad for the person, no matter how shitty they are. I can’t block or ghost someone, that’s too hard and the guilt would eat me up inside. But he won’t take me seriously.

You reminded me of a comic I saw. In short, be gross in front of him. Fart, belch, don't be intimate with him, and see if that leads to him withdrawing from you. Jokes aside, just be blunt for the last time. I get you feel bad for the person, but who is going to feel bad for you? You're not even giving yourself any comfort, nor are you being kind to yourself for staying in a relationship that you don't want to be in. Since you feel terribly sympathetic towards the other person, then think of it this way: do you want him to date someone that doesn't want to date him or doesn't love him? That's what you're doing to your boyfriend right now, so you better heed my advice and free yourself. Sad feelings are temporary, but this relationship will go on for much longer than that sadness will if you keep at this.

Just start pulling away. Don’t respond to his messages or answer any of his calls.

Detach yourself from his interests and hobbies. Stop engaging in conversation with him. Stop answering him. Go grey rock. If you live together, start going out all the time, find a new place to live or stay at a friend or relatives house. Even book a hotel if you can afford it. I’ve been in relationships with moids who won’t take no for an answer. Every single man I’ve ever tried to break up with refused to accept it.

Crushes only pass if you want them to and if deep down you don't want the crush to go away it won't. Lots of taken people get crushes but they choose to disregard those feelings because they would still without a doubt choose their partner. Usually with new people it's just novelty anyway.

Cringey but I've been on the other end of this and yeah if someone needs to make more than one serious attempt to break up with you.. cold hard bluntness is fully warranted at that point. Break up etiquette or listening to his reaction went out the window when he didn't accept it the first time. You've nothing to feel guilty about here. Say you're done, it's final, nothing will chage your feelings. And don't give him room to say his piece back, he'll only use it to latch back on.

Idk if he's an ass or just going through a pathetic stage but either way keeping in contact is not the way to go afterward

Nonsensical question. Why even watch porn to get you going, if you’re not turned on why masturbate, you wouldn’t need it if you were actually horny, you’re just indulging in a porn addiction and making up excuses afterwards. Pathetic.
No it’s not cheating. controversial here but I don’t think it’s cheating when men do it either it’s just pathetic and always makes them worse at sex

The 7 year itch is approaching. Make your current relationship interesting. I believe you two need to both agree on a changing something up in your daily. Whether it be starting to plan dates that will end in intimacy, or going out and finding a nice spot that you both want to come back to often.

I'd give different advice if you were older but it sounds like you started dating your nigel as a teen or in your very early 20's. I am saying the rest following this assumption.

Sure, like other nonnies said, this could you getting bored with the humdrum of a stable relationship. However, I think it could also simply be that he isn't your "type" anymore, and that you have matured. Tastes change, especially in the transition from teen to adult. He could be a great guy, hot, fit, nice, etc. But romance isn't always based on what looks good on paper. I've felt more thrilled in relationships with 4-5's than I did with 7's+. Ask yourself: do you want to marry this guy? Do you prefer stability or romance? Does the thought of spending a lifetime with him sound cool or are there feelings of aversion to that idea? Your answer lies there. Consider taking a "break" in the relationship. You're young. Go experience what's out there. Perhaps I'm the slut but that's what I would do in your shoes.

Imagine you get into a long term relationship with this new guy, eventually the exciting honey moon phase will pass and you'll settle into the "I love you but I'm not IN love (infatuated) anymore" phase and you'll start getting a little annoyed with his flaws just like you are with current boyfriend. He's new and exciting (for the time being) and your boyfriend is not.

think deeply about it really consider things. it sounds like you're unresolved. if you take the new crush out of the equation, how do you really feel about your boyfriend? are the things that bother you about him small or do they equal a larger picture? i might be wrong but i think that a crush this big might indicate you're not on the same page with your boyfriend to some degree, or there's something amiss in the relationship. that might not be the case, maybe this new guy is more shiny at the moment and the thought of a relationship with him is enticing and new and fun. but i think all of this is something to consider

I know this is probably about IRL relationships more than online, but why do some nonas attract mentally ill guys?
How do you stop them from entering into your life? How do you find a decent guy that is actually worth dating? I would like some advice please.

No. 398422

>>398412
These questions are too broad to be answered precisely. For the first one I'll leave some reasons as to why that is:
>you're mentally ill yourself
>'i'll fix him' mentality
>meeting moids on 4chan/ibs/discord or any place full of terminally online people
>very low self esteem and weak people attract creeps

To stop them from entering your life, ask yourself : was that just bad luck or is there a pattern? Do any of the criterias above fit you? Generally, and I say this to everyone itt : trust your gut. A ton of nonnas posting here asking if something is off with their bf know deep down that there is, or they wouldn't post about it, but they need confirmation because they gaslight themselves constantly. Trust your instincts and your feelings, especially if you see reoccuring behaviors that are not adressed and fixed. There is no way to find a decent guy, just focus on yourself, work to be a better person so you can be confident and firm in your beliefs and know what you want. This will automatically drive a lot of unwanted moids away, because they will know quickly that they can't control you. Don't chase moids, become the magnet.

a trivial one for me that might or might not work for you: ask about his movie tastes to see if his tastes are sus. and this sounds dumb and you don't have to, but lightly critique or jokingly insult his favorite tv show to see if he's legitimately gets angry. if he can have a mature discussion without being passive aggressive or mad, he might be fine.

Work on yourself. What kind of person do you want to be? What are your core values and beliefs? These questions need time and the effort of introspection to be answered. Those are personal questions so I can't answer them for you. If you are not firmly planted in your own boots, someone could sway you easily. When you know who you are, what you want and what you deserve to have, it's easier to filter out what doesn't fit in your frame. Do you love yourself? How is your self-esteem? If you lack self-esteem, you will let people hurt you, consciously or not, and you will let people that drag you down in your life because you don't protect yourself. If you're the type of person that craves love and attention to fill a hole, you'll bow down to anyone that gives you that. You should be the first person that cares about you and loves you. Try picturing the person you'd like to be in the future (while staying realistic) and focus on that, work towards that goal. It's hard to give more advice since I don't know your age or situation. But don't make the mistake of waiting to meet a good person to fix you or pull you up - it does happen, but more often that not it's the woman that will train the man and not the other way around. We have to be independent because men have been raised for centuries with the lowest standards and won't change if women don't become more picky. Lastly, for the people you should avoid, I'll circle back to my first questions: if you know what you want, you'll know what you don't want in your life. It depends on you. If it's hard to answer that, you can put yourself in the shoes of a female friend or family member: would you like it if that person went out with this type of guy? We often have higher standards for people we love than for ourselves. Generally, avoiding addicts, terminally online, mentally ill guys should be obvious. I liked >>398429 answer too, smart tip.

Nonas, I need advice about asking a guy out (specifically, going to a concert with me). Context: I've known him for a while, but only very, very shallowly - we've discussed music and some other stuff, but because our discussions are mostly limited to music and university (which is how I know him), I don't know if he has a girlfriend or anything like that, which is something that's scaring me off asking him to accompany me to the concert. He always messages me first, and I think that's a good sign, but I'm also cautious of reading too much into things.
Additionally, I already know that he's going to the concert, because I sold him the ticket to go to it… I probably should have asked him then but I got scared. One part of me thinks he's not interested at all and would have asked me to go with him when I sold it to him if he was, but it also wasn't clear from when I sold it to him that I also still have a ticket (I was selling one that I'd bought for my ex, the concert was booked a year in advance lmao). The other issue is I really don't want to go to the concert by myself, because it's mostly going to be men in the audience. I'm used to asking people I'm actually friends with to go to concerts with me, but because I'm only really acquaintances with him, I have absolutely no idea what to do. Is it worth asking him? And how can I? I don't want to come on too strong, I'd rather there be some ambiguity than it obviously me being asking him out an a date (even though I do 100% have a crush on him) - I know this is dumb but I'm terrified of rejection and embarrassing myself.

Be kind to yourself, don't judge yourself too much. Take care of your health, be it physical or mental. Think positively. List things that you like about yourself, qualities that you have or that you'd like to work on. Negative thinking and dwelling on the past is way more harmful than you could imagine, those are bad habits to ditch. Putting yourself down constantly will not get you anywhere, but unfortunately women are socialized to do that. It might seem extremely stupid, but having a mantra and saying words out loud (like saying 'I love myself, I deserve to be loved' to the mirror), or even writing, is also really powerful… it doesn't cost anything to try at least. Treat yourself like you would treat a pet, a younger sibling, someone innocent that you love.
It's not a one day change thing and you have to work on it your whole life, but it get easier once you solidify it. It also just comes with experience and age. There are a ton of videos, books, podcasts on the subject, but like anything, if you set your mind to it, want it, and work for it, you can probably achieve it. I'll leave a video to start.

Blah blah blah, you're already overthinking it. How do you stop overthinking? Just ask him.

I'd rather not go alone' or something simple like this. If you get rejected you'll have answers to your questions, and won't waste more of your time and mind space on him. There's nothing embarassing and it happens to everyone. I'm rooting for you.

So I found out from snooping that my bf used to be subscribed to a bunch of onlyfans girls and had thousands of different pics saved. I’m really disgusted. He swears he closed his account after meeting me and doesn’t watch porn anymore, but I feel completely ick about the whole situation, and the patheticness of it all. He was talking about having kids with me but I don’t want the father of my children to be a coomer who had a fucking onlyfans account FFS. Can coomers actually be redeemed or should you always walk away? For some reason this has completely shattered my faith in him and I don’t trust him at all anymore. I’m honestly livid.

No. 398626

You have a right to be disgusted and livid. Incels go around and say "women are whores because they dated/had sex with multiple men" while they jerk off and engage with morally corrupt content. They look at a plethora of undressed women in distress and then have the gall to call women whores. Please reconsider your relationship and end it. Your values don't align, and there is nothing to redeem for him there. It'll always be in the back of your mind, the fact that he hungrily lusted for hundreds of women with no qualms about it. He's just another beast, let him go.

definitely dumpworthy behavior. coomers cannot be trusted around children either, porn completely erodes mens morality and makes them into amoral horny opportunists (hence why rape cases have been rising for the past 10 years, also look at japan where 99% of moids are turbocoomers and young girls can’t even ride the subway without getting molested)

This. The truth is that porn has the exact same effect on moids brains as whoreing around, or even drug abuse.

The exact same chemicals are released and his dopamine receptors get fried in the same way.

There’s literally no difference in the brain of a degenerate incel whose been jacking off for 10 years and a degen manwhore whose been whoreing around for the past decade.

Both end up misogynists, both end up with fried dopamine receptors and broken cumbrains, both end up incapable of emotionally and physically bonding with a woman because like all addicts they have brain holes that can never be healed.

If you date a coomer you’re basically entering into a relationship with a ‘recovering’ meth addict, don’t be surprised when he turns out to be completely broken.

Subscribing to onlyfans is irredeemable behavior. Dump. Definitely do not have kids with him, he doesn’t deserve to procreate. Even if you aren’t of the opinion that porn is cheating or off limits for moral reasons like human trafficking and degradation of women, the fact that he was into onlyfans specifically is another level of brain dead coomer the way it’s marketed and just in general paying for porn shows he is retarded and can’t be trusted with money as his dick apparently overrides his brain.

It's not exactly something that should be overlooked. It still speaks volumes about his character. The fact that he paid for porn and consumed porn is pathetic. I can't imagine some moid being honest and telling his girlfriend "hey I used to pay for onlyfans b-but I don't anymore because I'm past that" and then expecting her to be content and satisfied that she saved him or something. That sounds like a massive cope.

I’ve been in this situation and my advice is dump him before it goes up in flames: at this point either the lack of trust and resentment will kill your relationship, or his porn addiction and dishonesty will, and it will be so much more unpleasant and make you feel so much more foolish down the line, when you will have wasted even more of your time on this good for nothing dirtbag, and for what? For nothing.

I made the mistake of trying to forgive a bunch of posts I found my bf had made with onlyfans whores pics and videos attached and him admitting to being a coomer (a ‘reformed’ one to me), but it niggled away at me everyday and I became incredibly bitter and angry towards him, to the point it completely dragged our relationship down. I no longer wanted to be intimate with him because it didn’t feel special anymore. His taste in models was also pretty trashy and tacky and I took it as an insult. I flung it in his face during every fight we had and eventually he had the nerve to dump me for being jealous and controlling. He’s still a porn addict, still posting porn. It’s not worth it nona. Save yourself the time and heartache. Men never ever change, they only get worse as time goes on.

NTA but every man who isn't chemically castrated (and even some who are kek) watches porn, the only difference between them is those that hide it well and those who don't. If OP is going to continue dating men she has to be okay with this, because if not, endless disappointment awaits her. So I guess I just don't understand the point of lecturing anons on "don't date porn users, break up with him, break up with him, because that's basically like saying "break up with this guy and start on a treacherous journey to find a unicorn that likely does not exist"

there’s no such thing as a former porn addict. in fact, i think porn addicts are the only moids arrogant enough to claim they’ve been cured.

literally no other group of addicts like alcoholics, drug addicts, gamblers etc ever truly claims to be cured of their addiction.

every single addiction programme and sponsor will explain to you that addiction is a lifelong battle and being cured of it isn’t really a thing, so i have no idea why porn addicted moids like to lie about it so much and pretend they never watch it anymore.

porn isn’t even like heroin or cocaine or something, because porn is far, FAR more easily and quickly accessible than the chore of having to go out and find someone who you can score some coke from or whatever. literally all he has to do is turn his computer or phone on. and if a moid is so far porn addicted that he literally ends up paying for OF and saving porn to his drive, that’s a sign for sure that he’s too far gone and cannot be cured.

I’ve e-dated for about 10 years now and what I found with every single relationship that started out online is that the moid was hiding something from me.

It went from small things like maybe subtracting 20lbs from their true weight or adding 2 inches to their height to really big dealbreakers like having a criminal record, being a pathological cheater who was talking to multiple other women, or even having a whole ass false identity and fake name or plastic surgery because they were on the run from people.

Online dating has always been my thing as a naturally very introverted person but now i think it’s a terrible idea. There are success stories out there and probably good men who are also just highly introverted, but you have to remember for every successful online relationship that ended up working out irl long term, theres 1000 other failed ones.

Very good post. I found what was attracting creeps and weirdo moids into my life is that I didn’t have strong enough moral objections to stuff they said which should have been red flags at the time, because I was either weak or dissociating too hard to pick up on it (I had untreated bipolar at the time and would kind of zone out then later be like HOLY FUCK WHY DID I KEEP TALKING TO HIM AFTER HE SAID THAT!!!).
I already had a kind of hard time concentrating on conversations or remembering what was said, but every single mentally ill creepy guy I ended up dating had indeed said things that should have been red flags and ghosting offences there and then. Also, believe men when they tell you what they are if it’s negative. My ex used to say ‘I’m a bad person’ and ‘I’m such an asshole’ a lot. I assumed he was just looking for validation and felt guilt, but it turned out he really was a terrible person and a huge asshole.
Women really need to develop a strong sense of morality and be firm in enforcing it. Lord knows men sure as fuck don’t have morals (or at least have very loose ones that are prone to bending depending on how hard his dick gets) so it’s our job to become moral gatekeepers so we can minimize the amount of damage scrotes do to our lives.

Trash attracts trash. If you need to attract the kind of trashbag moids who pay for OF (incels, coomers, middle aged pay pigs having a midlife crisis, losers in STEM with more money than sense etc) then you have to become a trashbag yourself.

These losers know its all fake edited parasocial nonsense, but they're so hopeless and lost in the coomer sauce that they don't even care anymore. Their lives are so shit.

Think about after you've had his child, that he's going to go back to paying for onlyfans and fapping to porn because he won't be able to have sex with you for a few months while you're recovering from childbirth.
Who knows, another scenario could be he troons out after you have kids. Think about it, do you really want this for your future children? Do you want a dead bedroom because he can only jerk it to porn?

A man addicted enough to pay for porn is extremely unlikely to give it up when he gets into a relationship, especially voluntarily. Think of it as a smoker who doesn't stop smoking to save his new partner from having to kiss an ash tray. It's an addiction, rationale is out the door.

If he doesn't use mobile data but is connected with a router and you have access to it, you can check what websites he has visited (if he doesn't browse with a VPN on), google for instructions.

Tbh the fact that there was ever an earlier conversation about him having OF subscriptions.. that was your cue to leave. The whole 'I'll shut it down for you' thing was predictably never gonna happen. Only going to be hidden better.

Then talking kids.. man has a paid addiction to jerking it to other women. Who in their right mind is going to happily sign up for the cost/body changes of having kids with a man who has to both budget in for his porn habit every month and is likely to have that pornsick reaction to any changes your body has from those pregnancies. I don't know how he even fooled you once but to stay now would be insane. Any naivety you might've had around this (naivety that he abused the hell out of till now) is gone.

I think I just need to vent idk I can't talk about this with anyone irl.
I broke up with my bf of 3 yrs about a month ago. We had some troubles and he was very bothered by his depression and anxiety and it didn't seem to get any better after 3 years and I was starting to feel burnt out by it. We still live together because it's difficult finding a new place but I plan on moving out sometime this summer.
Thing is, he has struggled with his porn usage a little bit, and I've always struggled with partners using porn. It's been to the point where I feel so much shame associated with it myself that I can't hear or see anything related to it at times without feeling sick or panicky. It ebbs and flows and I have good and bad periods. While we were together it has always been a sore spot and I think he quit using it for a good while towards the end of our relationahip, but I think it was also because he was so depressed and he got stressed that I would snoop and bust him so he just laid off of it.
Since I know him I know that he's started watching porn again after the breakup (I know his habits) and it's making me feel so repulsed. We broke up in a good way and we would like to stay friends since there is no bad feelings, but this is really driving a wedge between us from my side of things. I know I have literally nothing to do with this and I shouldn't feel bad about his private life activities, but it's so off putting for me I don't know how to stop feeling like this. It's not like he's bringing girls home and I have to hear him, but just the thought and seeing his laptop with the browser I know he uses for porn just send me in a spiral and I feel disgusting.

The way she wrote it that has to be something he said after she snooped and found out and confronted him about it.

Do you both live together still? I understand you're probably looking to move out and sort out everything, so it's easier to keep the peace between you two, but staying friends after breaking up is usually not recommended for a reason. It doesn't mean that you have to despise him and ghost him forever, but getting some space asap and keeping him out of your life for a while will make things easier. You're still invested in his life, that's normal, but that's not healthy for you to keep worrying about him. I totally understand how you feel about the porn issue. If you explain to a moid that what he's getting off too has a high chance of being footage of rape, abuse, trafficking and/or underage girls, and he still consumes it, he's a lost cause. Good luck going forward nona, you made the right decision.

Is it worth dating a stingy man? We were at the mall after our date and he said no to everything I wanted to buy because in his eyes it was unnecessary. I wanted this beautiful pair of earrings and he said "you already have earrings". I'm thinking about dumping him now because it kind of diminished any kind of desire I had for him. If he is this stingy now how will he be like later if we ever have kids or get married? I don't think I would have had a problem with buying him something if it made him happy.

My bf is fine with not climaxing during sex and it's making me nervous that he either doesn't find me attractive enough, or that he's a secret porn addict, or that it's his anti-depressant meds messing him up. Or god forbid, that he's gonna troon out one day.

He's kind of "innocent" sexually so it doesn't seem like he'd watch so much porn that it rotted his brain.

He's told me things like "oh well you can't cum every time" and that he just wants me to be happy and then he's happy as long as I got off. He keeps telling me he loves me and acts sweet.
Mostly he stops because he gets too tired, he's in bad physical shape and has a low stamina. But even if I'm on top he'll kinda give up. Maybe he's got erection problems and is just simply afraid to admit it?

I used to be on anti-depressants for years so I know just how libido and orgasm-killing they can be. He's on that, plus some other meds I'm not even sure what it is. I think he's going to stop taking the antis though, he says he feels a lot better after meeting me.

He has no troon friends, and I've seen him and his friends makes jokes at the expense of troons so hopefully that's not it.

Wouldn't him being in that bad of shape be pretty counter to his claim that he's doing good now since the gf cure showed up? unless he has a seperate health condition that you didn't mention here.

It's already dodgy to come off meds and attribute it to meeting someone. Puts you in the position of being the thing their mental health is propped up on instead. But it doesn't even sound like he's taking basic care of himself right now. Not for his own sake and not for your sake as his partner. Anorgasmia sucks but I'd be more worried about his assessment of what counts as doing good and most of all the trap of a guy coming off his meds and linking that decision to your presence. It's flattering till it's not..

I've been dating this autistic guy who is pretty endearingly wholesome and I've yet to encounter any major red flags… However, he has a habit of infodumping and it's getting a little annoying. He has followed some of his rambles with disclaimers that he hopes it doesn't come across like he's mansplaining, which is sweet but it's getting a little tiring because it keeps happening. I connect with him well but I don't know how to get him to tone it down just a little or if that's even possible. I have to remind myself to step away from the conversation at times because he can be so overly eager (which is cute, but also a lot). Is that a red flag in itself?

No. 399054

>>399039
You know he’s autistic. Can’t ask a leopard to change its spots. If you actually find it more annoying than cute, that’s information for you to consider; he’s not gonna stop (I guess technically he could but isn’t that massively uncomfortable for autists? I thought they all wanted a partner who will let them sperg and be themselves. I’m not autistic or a man so I really don’t know but I’ve never seen a grown man change the way he talks about things for a woman.)

No. 399057

>>399039
Have you talked to him about it? If he's as wholesome as you say, he would be willing to work on it. Him having autism doesn't mean you have to accept every retarded thing he does. Or you could just dump him and tell him you're incompatible if you don't want to go through the hassle.

No. 399081

If he has enough awareness to end his rambles with a disclaimer.. he's aware already and does it anyway. A disclaimer at the end is useless when a disclaimer is typically about giving you the choice to opt out. He's not giving you that by doing it backwards. That's not cute behaviour

The wholesome/endearing/cutesy, childlike sounding view of him is weird. He's a man and tist men are as capable of all the same bullshit other men are. They just wrap it up in a layer of muh autism incompetence to top it all off. He's either competent enough to date or he's mentally a child to tip toe around, can't have it both ways.

I’m married to an autist, together 15yrs and he still info dumps. It has slowed down but it hasn’t stopped. We’ve been together so long now we also share a lot of interests so it’s really fun to deep dive stuff together and have long conversations about our opinions on things.
How does he respond to you when you talk about your interests? Can you sit together in silence? How does he respond if you interrupt him and change the topic? Could it just be he’s excited to share things with you? What’s he info dumping about, could you see yourself being interested in it too?
For me I enjoy it a lot because I want a partner who wants to talk to me and share things with me, I couldn’t imagine being with someone who wouldn’t want to sit and chat for hours. Ultimately it’s up to you to decide what you want with a partner though.

I've been in a relationship with an autistic guy for about 2 years now. How long have you been dating? During the first year, he would ramble a lot about things. It did get annoying sometimes. After a while it sort of tapered off, maybe because he already infodumped everything he could. I wouldn't say him sperging is necessarily and red flag and if you do really like this guy, you'll probably get used to it or he might tone it down eventually. I was also here once complaining about my nigel's autistic talks.

Sorry for samefagging just wanted to reply to this too. I meant he's literally out of shape from a lack of exercise (because of depression) but he's been motivated to start again now that he's got me, and to wean off the ADs as he's not feeling as depressed anymore.
>It's already dodgy to come off meds and attribute it to meeting someone. Puts you in the position of being the thing their mental health is propped up on instead. But it doesn't even sound like he's taking basic care of himself right now.
I'm actually the one who initially brought it up with him as I've been on ADs myself and know how numbing it is in many areas. I just mentioned it and he agreed. There are many areas he could improve in (such as going to the gym kek) but he's proven he's willing to put in some work and he's slowly improved since we started dating.
I kind of see it the opposite way, I want him to function "on his own" without meds or being dependant on me, so I'm helping him get there. But I also wouldn't go into a realtionship if I wasn't able and willing to have them lean on me when times are rough.

Depression that requires medicine is not cured by a girlfriend.
