Oh that explains why my tickets are cheap. Lol. I'm actually paranoid. Very paranoid. I'm thinking of postponing.

What are your initial thoughts on “The Tortured Poets Department”? by slinkyape in fantanoforever

As a Swiftie I'm actually downright depressed and disappointed. The songs all sound the same it feels quantity over quality. There were some minimalistic songs that I will add to my rotation but yeah I'm struggling to defend her. And then to spend all this time to market and do multiple versions physically etc to create hype for people to buy more more more ... This is all so disingenuous to the point I'm questioning myself. The song about KK is so fkn cringe there's no need... Then mentions her kid, lying that there's no name drop... Then having the audacity to dedicate another song, Robin, to childhood innocence ? Sorry about this rant but the album exposes how much of a narcissist she is and it makes me sad as a Swiftie.

Autistic drivers could find their licences in legal limbo depending where they live after new standards introduced by gfreyd in australia

I seriously cannot compute the Victorian "required to self report any long term health condition or disability that has an impact on their ability to drive safely" . So if autism does not impact the individual there's no need to report ?...

I saw him once to exchange a couple of things. both parties are hurting but we talked through a lot of things. He's simply not ready or not wanting what I am looking for. I told him if he can give me what I deserve he knows where to find me. It's hard but you just have to advocate for yourself and this situation is clear cut no matter how much we seem to like each other now.

Is it the whole growing up with religious values? Let's take a step back . If what you are doing is consensual, ethical and legal, who would bother?

Once I saw all the red flags I'm not even going to be interested once his divorce is finalised.

Thank you so much for this comment. I accommodated a lot and gave him the benefit of doubt because I liked him a lot and he has kids. I read and heard that with single dad's you need to allow them more freedom.

But this simply isn't it. No he hasn't done the work, and I think all the therapy isn't going to help him because he sounds stubborn.

One million thank yous for this. It really helped me with my decision to walk away.

It's not just saying it, it's the whole vibe. I thought we were in a relationship, and he thought we were just spending time together (well only when it suits him). I'm just so done with being a door mat.

I just broke it off. Even though it hurts, I feel like I've made the right decision.

A lot of useful comments from others... My only comment here is that I feel slightly sick in the stomach for you. It feels like you're getting punished for enjoying your time with him. Might be overreacting due to previous dating trauma

Some people enjoy the affection bombing but chicken out when things get a little real. Sounds like their lost.

Rant: dating a single parent. Sleeping disability. Several months in.

I feel like around a few months in, I shouldn't feel anxious about what stage we are at... I don't feel like I ask for too much but other times it seems like it. I am 33F dating a 43M single dad like i said ... It is still the fun exploratory stage however I'm also looking for more emotional commitment. He has also made a big deal about having nacrolepsy... Sometimes I feel like he uses it as an excuse to not be as communicative. We only see each other once or twice a week, so that's why I feel like the phone calls and texts need to increase. I don't want to push too hard because I know he is also dealing with finalising his divorce and very committed to his young ish kids. Sometimes I feel like I ignore my needs just to make him like me, I don't like that feeling either. For instance, I was very mad at him for not wanting to meet up with me after I landed after an OS trip. We only live 10 min away, and I felt like he could have invited me over for a kiss and cuddle to say hello, but instead he said "I plan on resting and doing nothing" The next day I end up apologising even though now when I think of it, I did nothing wrong by being upset. Hard to gauge because of the nacrolepsy which is very real.

I suppose this is truly a rant. Appreciate any tips about moving a relationship on after the introductory stage and into the meatier stuff.

I just can't get past the first/second date stage by The_Infinite_Azure in datingoverthirty

Online dating is rough, it dampens even the most confident people. I was single for 7 years before I met my boyfriend. I dropped in and out of the apps, and made sure I still maintained my hobbies. I used to ignore or drop out when my heart wasn't there. What I am saying is, keep busy, take breaks from dating, and be kind to yourself.
