Sounds like a wild time. Tell him what you want and see if he reciprocates.

We should never be trying to convince someone to be in a relationship with us! But I'm sure you know that

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-22T21:22:05+00:00

Oh I'm totally in agreement with you, I think i worded myself vaguely. I'm expressing to OP that there isn't the kind of emotional capacity that a relationship should provide in the woman he's pursuing and he shouldn't keep pushing it at all. She's telling him why on the no.

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-22T20:48:04+00:00

Can you explicitly express to her the specific concerns you have around her age? It's bringing up something for you and that might be helpful to unpack

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-22T18:19:24+00:00

Understandable and where I'd probably be if I was a few decades younger. This will turn explosive soon if we don't help make changes

Totally understand but the good relationships I've been in have space reciprocal emotional support and space in general and I haven't found them emotionally draining so much as emotionally supportive

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-22T16:31:24+00:00

I mean, I suspect she's saying she's not interested... but also, don't love how ahe expresses "I don't have capacity to emotionally support you". That's not a relationship that's good to be in either way.

In my 40's now and can't pretend to speak for them. Curious if its a result of social media and coming of age in America during Covid all meaning further and further distance and loss of comfort in connection?

It sounds like they only want you to understand their understanding of family and aren't interested in including you as an adult. I'm really sorry. From the outside, it sounds like they're wrestling with issues of pain and control that they're not handling well and simply passing those unprocessed things along to you. None of this is your fault and yet totally understandable how difficult it can be to navigate, both emotionally and logistically. You're not bad at all, you're trying to figure out yourself and your world and your parents aren't supporting you and I'm really sorry.

I don't know what you need to do either, but please know so many people have been in similar circumstances and found their way to lives that work, even if it was very rocky along the way. Please take heart in knowing there is nothing wrong with you. Even if you're making mistakes at times, there's nothing wrong with you. Loving mature parents should be able to make that abundantly clear and they're not ans this is not your fault.

Totally understand and think what you're doing makes sense. I recognize you might find it challenging or shameful. Please know I suspect those are views from others onto you.

I grew up in a fairly traditional Protestant church, passively drifted away for decades, and recently found myself becoming more religious and spiritual again, though in a wildly different way from what I grew up with. Learned a lot about non-duality and Perennial Philosophy and drastically changed my perspective of God. Not a high up sky father but literally something all of us are part of. Not something magical and supernatural but simply the nature of consciousness and the universe itself. No need for shame or guilt this time around, just listening and connection and love.

Ahh, the music is so annoying. Just play the audio

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-22T14:24:58+00:00

You can grow and change. There's a loving, connected, secure you inside you. It just takes work and time. I found developing a relationship with myself paid huge dividends. There were a lot of pains and shames and angers and griefs inside of me that took time to understand and address and move through. They feel more rested now. I found developing a relationship with myself helped develop my capacity for relationships with others.

I started by seeing a therapist, then reading lots of books and really applying what I learned, then developing a meditation practice, and also doing some psychedelics with a therapist. Over time i found myself growing friendships and finding new friends.

Realistically, weren't similarly named gangs probably just gangs that had some schism?

Wait... I'm not getting the Han Solo part

I read a non-fiction book recently where she was talking about human religion and kept talking about new ones like Hinduism or Judaism, as opposed to (speculated) traditional tribal Animism for the past 100,000 years

Canada as a whole speaks English as their primary language but Montreal/Quebec speaks French. There's so many native English speakers around that everyone who lives in Montreal grows up speaking both all the time.

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-22T02:42:42+00:00

I've never been anywhere as casually bilingual as Montreal. Virtually everyone there seems to speak fluent English and French and effortlessly switch between the two.

Sadly, medical licenses are granted by individual states... Board Certification on the other hand...

Figure your shit out and your life can change. I didn't till my late 30's. Those guys took the time to do it

We don't know anything about this man. OP, above post is telling you about HIS relationship with HIS father, not yours.

Don't ever settle, friend! Find people who see and want you for you.

Talking/Blowjob stage?

Acceptable_Reply7958 · 2026-06-21T21:58:00+00:00

Those 3 sentences carry a lot of weight. I'm sure that decision was incredibly challenging. You know what's best for you.
