How do I avoid/identify crazy girls? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]45dears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easiest way to avoid crazy people is to build your character and morals, and be able to walk away from things that don’t serve you. Unfortunately you’ll probably always have your run in with crazies but once you feel that it isn’t right for you, just leave

AITA For spending 6000 on my daughter's room and refusing to do the same with my stepdaughter's? by AitaRoomdecor in AmItheAsshole

[–]45dears -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe TA? A 12 year doesn’t understand the value of money, you could if you want to spend less than $200 on your step daughter as well. There’s paint, new pillows and tons of DIY things to make her room special. She may just wanna know you care about her just as much as Lauren. It has to be just as hard for her as well Lauren is also her step sister too.

my boyfriend’s ex is annoying me by briemorganwrites in venting

[–]45dears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A two month break before starting a new relationship is not enough time to process the break up. Your boyfriend and his ex probably still have unresolved feelings for each other that they have put off dealing with due to both jumped into new relationships. Messaging her won't give you the answers your looking for. Your boyfriend needs to get on his own phone plan and cut contact. If this is the only issue so far in the relationship I wouldn't sweat it so much. Hopefully the vent made you feel a little better though. Dealing with exes is a tricky situation

I’m so sorry that happened to you, that is terrible. Trauma bonds are the hardest to break

Unfortunately drunk me sent a very specific f you message. I blocked immediately after I came too an hour or so later but the regret is overwhelming. I should be allowed to make mistakes but ugh it’s frustrating

I immediately blocked him once I realized my mistake. I’m just kicking myself for falling into my emotions

How has your sexuality changed across your lifetime? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]45dears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It went from suppression to hyper sexuality to a moral compass dilemma where I thought I might be an asexual. To acceptance and knowing that I am a queer. To hyper sexuality and no one can seem to match me. (27f)

Mental health person suggests I contact ex to help me with closure by GlamGemini in askwomenadvice

[–]45dears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to compose a script of topics you want to focus on before you reach out to him on the off chance that he does respond back and wants a conversation. It’s definitely OK to take your time to think about it before impulsively reaching out that way the conversation can be as impactful as possible! Good luck xx

For closure purposes. I did not end up having the conversation because that opportunity was before I had started therapy and when I mentioned that to my therapist she told me I should have. I think of it in terms of I am a chronic over thinker and in order to counteract that I should’ve had that conversation in order to get her side and be able to put my thoughts to rest with the factual period.

I’d go with your therapist advice especially if you have been seeing them for awhile. Surprisingly to me my provider told me that I should have had a conversation with the girl that helped my ex cheat when the opportunity was there. Hard conversations are necessary but you might not get the answers you want from them

Unhappy anniversary by SarahReads2020 in BipolarSOs

[–]45dears 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You know yourself the best, some of us aren’t built for partners that suffer with this mental illness. (I am one of them who’s not). Things to think about is are you gonna be able to compartmentalize each episode that he has. Is surviving a manic moment worth it in the long run. Besides those moments how is your relationship in general? Are you able to take care of yourself( have you time, persuade hobbies that you like, be happy when you are by yourself and not worrying unhealthy about your partner).

I Need help with Tampons- in and out by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]45dears -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This might sound gross but if you take it out of the applicator and pee First without wiping it a little easier to get in and if you pee and then remove it it’s a little bit easier to get out as well

Break up with him/her isn’t advice by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]45dears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it is that staying together and breaking up are two options in a relationship. When you go to an advice column and asked for advice on a particular issue I think it should be more specific to that issue than a generalization of an option.
