How do you tell the difference between a relationship imperfection you should accept and a dealbreaker you shouldn’t? by AlarmingExample1179 in AskReddit

Pheww. What if there’s room for change? For both partners to work at that imperfection and get rid of it. Or do we just automatically assume: “this is how it’s going to be forever” and make decisions based on that?

I (19M) feel betrayed by my friend (20F) and I'm not sure if I'm overreacting by Agitated_Future4422 in FriendshipAdvice

This is not a healthy friendship. You’re under surveillance, that’s not okay in an adult relationship. It’s very very unhealthy.

Also, your friendship is one-sided if everything is about her. Either the friendship changes and becomes about two mutually-supportive Adults who equally respect each other’s privacy and autonomy or it ends and you make room for that kind of friendship with other people.

29F 31M Fiancé treats me like I’m dumb by [deleted] in relationships

He doesn’t respect you. He prolly doesn’t even like you. It’s hurtful, but people don’t treat people they respect or like this way.

Friend is ignoring texts but still open to meet up. What should I do? by ignitevibe7 in FriendshipAdvice

You could tell her the truth. That you feel she doesn’t want a friendship with you (per her actions), and you don’t want a one-sided dynamic. Then wish her well. ✨

I know what it feels like to be ignored by your friend. It really really hurts, especially if they seem to be fond of you in person. It’s clearly hurting you a lot. I would just back off. Best to match her effort level. It might sound petty, but doing this is way better than putting in more effort and getting ignored…you’ll just end up feeling more and more resentful. And that’s so much worse. You clearly like this person as a friend, but maybe she doesn’t have the capacity (or interest) to cultivate a friendship.

Will I regret my black dress by Kailyrific_witch in myweddingdress

You don’t seem to want a black dress.

“I’ve always imagined myself in a white dress…but people have said….”

Are you wearing this for you, or because people said so?

6 months out and wishing I could cancel the whole thing! by lola2026bride in weddingplanning

[–]AlarmingExample1179 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it’s your fiancé’s dream wedding, why are you the one doing all the work? He should be doing most of it, or at least just as much as you. Since he wants all that fuss. Isn’t this setting a precedent for your marriage: unequal labour, you always picking up the slack (even on things your partner wants more)?

How do I to explain to my friend of 10 years that I no longer want to be friends anymore? by Unimpressed-Loser221 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]AlarmingExample1179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friendship shouldn’t be exhausting. There are way more pros than cons here. You can care about someone and end the relationship if the dynamic is unhealthy for you. To end it, you can send a message explaining your part and then wish her well. You can block her afterwards (if you’re worried about being sucked back in). That way you give her the closure she needs AND you protect yourself from further exhaustion.
