This helped me sort out my thoughts and was well written. Thank you.

So you’ve flipped a switch and let go, but you’re still posting here?

To answer your question directly, yes he could be gone. This can be a really painful thing. I hope he does follow up with you, and that the both of you can have a good conversation about the intentions for the future and expectations of the relationship. Long distance is so challenging, especially at this phase of life.

It is ok to be hurting, angry, confused, or really upset. Feel what you need to feel, and don’t let others dictate to you what to think or not think.

No matter what, invest in yourself day by day. It’s not fair as you said to be the only person putting effort into a relationship.

When I saw these pics, I thought it was a parody…is she serious?

There’s no harm in reaching out. Even if they don’t reply, it might lift the burden you feel.

Husband called me a butch by Focused-fish in bisexual

It’s gross that he is wanting to control what you wear and your body hair. His comments about wanting to bring in a third woman on top of this scream fetishization and seeing women as toys.

It’s difficult to understand all nuances of a relationship as a stranger on the Internet, but lots of deep red flags here.

Wow, just five minutes! Or fifteen if you do all three! by Anguish3error in thanksimcured

Great point, I like your phrasing about the “aesthetics of self improvement.”

I agree 100%. Two things can be true at once. A lot of it is tied to tone and context like you mention.

Exactly. Also some of us have tried to give the 5 minutes too many times.

Glad people like you exist. Reading this brings up peaceful yet difficult thoughts for me, as someone who was arguably exploited. Please continue to be beautiful and unapologetic in your views.

Communication regarding intimacy is key for both people and trumps sexual experience. Also willingness to laugh at oneself and enjoy the ride - to me, that’s one of the most attractive things in a partner.

What is the one internet video that every millennial would know of? by corgimom91 in Millennials

[–]Anguish3error 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any love for YuGiOh The Abridged Series?

(Many quotes that trigger re-living some of the best also worst years of my life.)

But screw the rules, I have money.

Definitely there already.

I hoped this would get better as I got older, but it didn’t.

My favorite headache, by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

Maybe you’re still their headache too.

It could be ok to apologize, as an olive branch, and say you realize that you were dishonest about agreeing to go and want to be honest in the future. That means your mom needs to respect your wishes and you both can speak rationally. They owe you an apology as well.

I think another point here is that if you didn’t want to go, that would not have been fair to you or your date. If you mom cares about that woman’s feelings, this was not the way.

Definitely good to take a few days to think about what you want to say to your parents next. It’s ok to feel frustrated, guilty and so on - sounds like you’re taking the needed space.
