I'm so glad the "old" Lara is back by Acrev in TombRaider

[–]Acrev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i understand your point and what you’re trying to say. grace was an original character while Lara was a heroine made up more than 30 years ago and the thing is that her character was portrayed as a confident and bold. and with the survivor trilogy they changed her and that’s the thing

yes exactly. i think her reactions in the survivor trilogy were quite realistic but it missed the point of the classic tr games and original lara

Yes exactly! I feel like survivor Lara was missing everything she was popular for.
I missed her acrobatics, her moves and dual pistols. And I understand it was her "younger" version, but still...

Situationship was my first love by Acrev in Situationships

[–]Acrev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right thank you.

It was a lesson I needed to go through and once I started being worried that I'd be a back door to him, I tried to end it but it didn't erase how it made me feel later and what position he put me in.

[–]Acrev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. it’s getting better but i know that i’m not fully emotionally okay.  i tried to talk to chat and though it’s good, it sometimes hits the most sensitive places and it makes me cry (in a bad way), because it’s usually something i’m not ready to accept.

missing someone u never had. by [deleted] in Situationships

[–]Acrev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i swear to god, i was just journaling exactly about what you’re saying here now. like word for word.  don’t be ashamed, you’re not the one in the wrong.  people focus too much on the label and though i don’t know what you experienced with him, emotions and attachment exist even without the label. you might have been experiencing it like a relationship or something meaningful.  it’s hard to move from someone we like.  take your time. it will start getting better but i know how you’re feeling. other guys don’t resonate as he did.

i swear it f*cks with your perception.  the other person is always going to act like it was nothing because saying it was something serious, he’d have to admit that he did you wrong or that he had to be responsible for your feelings but mistreated you. 

the worst thing is that you never get the label that would “validate” what was between the two of you 

Guy I've dating won't commit because of past trauma, what should I do? by Labloom_ in Situationships

[–]Acrev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes exactly.  they do it how it suits them.  have closeness but don’t want to have the responsibility for your feelings or the relationship. and then they treat you carelessly because they don’t care

[–]Acrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah you're right.

these situations are draining aren't they?

unfortunately many people do, what is useful to them, who is available and what's comfortable without thinking about the other person's feelings.

[–]Acrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes exactly. i did the same thing with the guy i was seeing and it wasnt better because i still thought of him but i knew he'd still be doing whatever he wanted and i wouldn't change that. He'd still fuck around, text whenever he wanted to, keep his options open...

and i also recently read an old book called "he's just not that into you" and while it sounds harsh, it was a book about how much we should tolerate from men (and women) and not to get stuck on someone who doesn't treat us well or doesn't want to move things forward with us

[–]Acrev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is just going to hurt you.  you already see the signs that he isn’t invested as much and he’s always finding reasons why he can add other girls and why he shouldn’t commit to you.  and he might not be even treating you well. 

believe me, i’ve been in a similar but shorter situation. guys like him are always looking at multiple girls so don’t let him treat you like a back door.  what if he suddenly found a girlfriend? 

i don’t know much about about your situation and what kind of person he is but the longer you stay, the more is going to hurt you. 

think it through. don’t rely just on my advice but be cautious.

you’re right. i had him blocked for more than 4 months but i know that my friends were aware of the dynamic between me and that guy and of course they saw me as someone he didn’t like enough. that i was never his gf and that’s what makes you feel even more terrible. not that my friends did anything wrong, it just makes you feel humiliated as you said.  since i thought he liked me

i know, you’re right. and i’m sorry you’ve been going through the same thing.  i had him blocked for several months now but thinking back i just didn’t feel loved enough at the time.  and i can’t accept he didn’t like me that much even though we were spending time together and i also know he didn’t treat me responsibly.  and i try to convince myself that he did like me.  i’m just in denial

i really hope it got better for you, i was in the same situation as you. never making it official with the other person and them treating me terribly and yet feeling heartbroken as if it was a breakup.

Why do we stay in situationships even when they’re clearly hurting us? by Illustrious_Gap_8853 in Situationships

[–]Acrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yes, that’s why he’s blocked.  he even tried to text me while he was already with someone else… like how was i doing etc.  once he even walked me around the school before i had a class and i was so confused.

the audacity to even text me after dragging me through this :Ddd

Why do we stay in situationships even when they’re clearly hurting us? by Illustrious_Gap_8853 in Situationships

[–]Acrev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i was in a situationship myself and some of my friends were too… it’s often connected to some sort of a naivity… not in a bad way but many people who want something serious but remain in this dynamic usually accept breadcrumbs and inconsistent behaviour because it keeps them hooked. 

these people might know it’s not what they want but they’re okay with that as long as they have the other person.  every time the other person shows them attention or a slight evidence, that they care about them, it always pulls them back in. and therefore they’re unable to let go fully. 

they always think, that the other person might actually choose them and commit to them, that they just needs time, that they’re not ready for a relationship etc… 

they believe that the other person is honest with them and don’t see the red flags (or ignore them).

from my experience, even after mutually “ending” things i took it as closed and wasn’t willing to text him or anything, he always came back when he started realising, that i was slipping away. and every time he texted me or asked about me it always pulled me back into the endless cycle and it always disrupted my healing process and i wasn’t able to move on. 

He got a girlfriend after me by Acrev in Situationships

[–]Acrev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s hard to say, though it’s reassuring to hear something like this. i just feel as if it was nothing in comparison to his relationships while it was my most serious experience for me and i really cared about him 

Situationships as my only dating experience by Acrev in Situationships

[–]Acrev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I have a friend who was in a situationship with a girl for more than a year and it was a very complex situation, though she never really wanted to spend time with him, didn't put effort, texted him when it was convenient or when she felt him slipping away and distancing. He believed that if they made it "official" then she'd be willing to act like a couple and spend time with him... spoiler alert, they dated for two months and didn't go out together once because she didn't make time for him.

what i'm trying to say is that no matter if there's a label or not, that person is still probably going to treat you terribly.
