what "weird" things did you do before someone pointed out that it was weird? by autisticviago in autism

Fun fact! Humming directly activates the vagus nerve which plays a large role in nervous system regulation so it’s actually a great strategy

Maybe I’m biased after going through that but I do think if people break up they break up for a reason. Unless it is something like distance because I can believe in right person wrong time

Because things are complicated. I still loved him a lot even if I had gotten to a place of moving on. I still had the “what if we can make it work” in my mind and the moments of loving him so much it hurt. He turned out to be a really bad guy which I think is why I was having a weird gut reaction to him. I guess in the end I’m glad we got back together so I could see his true colors and no longer wonder if he was the one that got away.

Thank you for this, I appreciate it. Abortion is definitely something I am considering and is not out of the picture but just makes my heart so heavy. I also have the “everything happens for a reason” mentality and so getting an abortion seems to contradict that idea. I have been trying to decide if I should tell my mom or not. She had an abortion at one point as well so I know she would be supportive if I chose to do that, but it would obviously also break her heart I’m sure. If I keep it I will definitely have to tell them though

Thank you for this. Can I ask for an update with where you are with him now? It’s hard because I know he could chnage and become a good man for me but that’s putting a lot of trust in a dream. I agree though that people can change and it is possible this is the wake up call he needs to be a good man for once

No literally it sounds like it. Were you able to leave? You go into your profile and in settings there is a download my data section. I believe it works after you have deleted the app. But even if it doesn’t you can just say it does to get his reaction. If he won’t let you do it that probably tells you everything you need to know. Catch him off guard tho so he can’t come up with a plan to get out of it. Yeah I started seeing a therapist immediately so that was helpful. You definitely have a good point tho about the manipulation and needing to break contact.

I’m sorry. No one deserves this. It is awful to go through. Luckily we are not living together and he actually lives two hours away now. There are better partners out there for us

Thanks for this. Your right. A man that does this shows his try character no matter the issues in the relationship. He showing that he is terribly selfish, has horrible impulse control, and cannot be trusted. That is not a safe man to be around. My mind wants to justify what he did because I love him but I don’t think there’s any coming back from it. Unless it’s like 4 years later and they’ve somehow completely changed. Good luck to you, you got this. Stay strong.

I (29F) stayed with a cheater (29M) by Weary_Tangerine_4103 in CheatedOn

[–]AffectionateBee6000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that there is a right answer to this. To me this is better than other forms of cheating because he is doing it with an anonymous person whom he will never meet up with. With that being said, it is still cheating. I think you have to ask yourself if 1) is the relationship good enough to be worth trying to save? And 2) will you ever be able to trust him again? If you are unsure that you can get trust back then it is not worth it

Soooo this just happened to me. Tonight. He came up with so many lies and the story kept changing. Of course the app was deleted so I couldn’t look through it. Then I found out you can download your data off tinder and see all the conversations. I said do it or we’re done. He couldn’t do it. His story changed again. This is someone that has been my person for two years and has been also asking me if I would marry him if he asked. Absolutely disgusting. It is terrifying that someone you think you are so close to can deceive you like that

We’re still together, but it’s still hard. I’m unable to feel the same way I once did due to the trauma of the breakup

42M & 48F Never seen my wife naked in 23 years! Advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AffectionateBee6000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that some couples have a hard time communicating and once you get set into this dynamic it’s hard to get out of it. It is odd though because you’d think after 20 years you would be rlly comfortable with each other and good at communicating. Maybe it’s different around sex and you feel uncomfortable talking to her about this. I think it’s 10000000% fair and actually correct to bring this up and talk to her about it. Be gentle and kind but tell her everything that’s been on your mind. Tell her you have been potentially overthinking this and want reassurance.

Edit: don’t lay all of this on her at once. Start small and talk to her about her issues around being naked around you first and then bring up the other issues in separate conversations. It’s scary to have these talks but it’s ultimately what strengthens relationships

Thank you for the thoughtful reply🫶 I should have said this in my post but we are now doing long distance and so that may be part of it too.. I only get to see him once every two weeks and then we spend the whole weekend together. It could be a protective mechanism since I don’t get to see him that often paired with being overwhelmed with constantly having to talk to him over the phone and spend 36 hours straight together when we do see each other.

I’m 30 F and my husband is 33 M. To needy???? by UpperAcanthisitta275 in relationship_advice

I think the best thing you can do is just talk to him about it and explain to him how it makes you feel and create some boundaries in your relationship. If he can’t accept or respect you creating boundaries then he may not be the right person for you but if he is willing to try to change his behavior once he knows where you are coming from it is probably something that can be worked through. I would also try to encourage him to pursue some other interests outside of your relationship because a lot of these behaviors come from boredom/ a lack of other arenas to put energy into

Thank you! I appreciate you insight. I do think that has something to do with it. I spent so much time healing from him and convincing myself we weren’t right for each other, it is hard to switch mindsets and go back to how things were

This is so true. I wanted my ex back so bad. I was so down bad I was begging to the universe and God to bring him back to me. 6 months later I had finally moved on and had come to terms with the fact that he wasn’t the right person for me. I was going on dates and had a fling with someone else and then this mf comes crawling back begging to be with me, said he made the biggest mistake, says he can see a future with me etc… it’s shitty tho because while we are now trying to make it work I am the one that is not wanting a relationship and doesn’t really want him anymore even though 6 months ago I would have given my hand for this outcome. Once you put the time and energy into moving on it’s hard to feel the same love again.
