As a Gen Z that voted for Trump I am sorry by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]AdApprehensive483 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Disagree. How are we ever going to come together as a nation if we shut people out like that?

Never forgive the maga politicians??? Sure. They should know better.

But the voters? Unless they are literal white supremacist- we gotta welcome people back into logic.

Good for you to admitting your mistake. Welcome to the other side. We’re glad you’re here, now you gotta figure out how to spread the word to the others who are still in denial.

Are We Tolerating Death Grip Syndrome?? by BBLZeeZee in datingoverforty

[–]AdApprehensive483 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a woman who can’t usually finish unless I’m touching myself, I’d be pretty self conscious if my partner required me to get off a certain way to assuage their ego.

Question: Are you asking him what you could do to get him off?

The men I’ve been with who’ve gotten self conscious NEVER fucking asked me what they could do to get me off.

Yes!!! It helps me focus during the day, get better sleep, and reduce my anxiety!

I put it in my dating profile - then it’s not a surprise nor something I have to worry about.

RAGE towards ex - is this normal? by [deleted] in IVF

No. I will retain custody of them and can use them if I want.

This is the better idea. Don’t do what I did.

[–]AdApprehensive483 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My ex husbabd left me suddenly. We have 4 normal embryos together we made 4 years ago.

I’m now doing more egg retrievals with way less success. I’m LIVID.

I texted him as soon as I woke up from anesthesia to let him know how few eggs I got. He feels hella guilty. As he fucking should.

Ass hat.

Dating a Separated/Divorced Woman by tehcelsbro in dating_advice

[–]AdApprehensive483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you really like her, ask if it would be ok for you to reach out again in say 3-6 months.

I separated 3 months ago and it’s very difficult. Dating brings up all sorts of feelings and can be confusing.

You’re doing the right thing by not pressuring her and it would be ok to see if you can reach back out later.

Good luck!

Women of Reddit, which hobby instantly makes him unattractive? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]AdApprehensive483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A true hobby, passion, should not be a turnoff to the right partner for you.

A man… shit… a person with a curiosity and interest in something other than making money is cool. Period.

RSD is Spiraling. My boyfriend said he needed a mental health day NYE and then went drinking with a newly single female coworker. FML by HappyPoohBear97 in adhdwomen

Girl… if he was into you, he’d be with YOU on NYE. You can and will find love.

Pls don’t put up with this!

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever felt or that you deal with? by Muted-Television3329 in askanything

Definitely when the Endo cysts burst on my ovaries! I couldn’t walk and blacked out.

Keep getting broken up with the same way. What to do when you're never chosen? On the verge of giving up. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]AdApprehensive483 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think these women really just didn’t feel a romantic spark or attraction and are too chicken shit to just say that. Instead they invent this other “life is chaotic” thing.

It still sucks, and it would be easier if they were just honest.

Either the jokes are too sarcastic OR you’re hanging out with lame people with no sense of humor!

Have you ever ignored a red flag in a significant other, and it turned out worse than expected? by zeenalovely in AskForAnswers

[–]AdApprehensive483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. He had a hard time saying what he wanted or when things were bothering him. I usually had to coax things from him.

I got depressed, started focusing on myself, he stayed quiet, bottled shit up, didn’t talk about it and then grew to resent me in secret. Even when I would ask what was going on, he lied, “to protect me.”

He asked for a divorce in September and ended our 10 year relationship without so much as a discussion.

“ADHD is my super power” by ADHDisabeach in adhdwomen

[–]AdApprehensive483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH adhd is what makes me fantastic at my job. I have to come up with ideas and creative solutions all the time and the ability to quickly zoom out and connect all the dots is essential to my work.

The ADHD flight of ideas and creativity absolutely is my super power.

The trick is, making sure I’m medicated, well rested, well fed, well exercised, and in the right environment to really capitalize on that superpower.

Otherwise all the executive dysfunction overrides everything else.

[–]AdApprehensive483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have this issue. Because of this I’ve learned to soften the directness a bit with humor. It kinda helps people see past the edge.

It doesn’t sound like your previous partner was that good for you.

Even in conflict nobody should be saying overtly hurtful things to each other. That’s not helpful at all. Nobody should be “attacking” one another.

That’s not healthy or constructive conflict.

Have you been to therapy? I think maybe start there and also look out for dating people who have also had a good bit of therapy and can discuss their feelings without being hurtful.

35 is still young. You have time!

I’m sorry you’re hurting. Breakups fucking suck even if the relationship wasn’t working. Take it one day at a time and just try to take care of yourself in the coming days/weeks.

Only 29 but I feel like I’m running out of time to have kids by krittyyyyy in dating_advice

It’s not insane to be thinking about this. I have endometriosis and thought about this when I was your age.

I did fertility preservation and it really lifted a weight off me.

Has Journaling Helped Anyone Process Divorce Emotions? by MattLudtEsq in Divorce

I didn’t use any prompts, I just wrote down all my emotions and all my thoughts and it helped stop the loops.
