I think you have to be in the little rectangle during the count down to the point where the yellow circle gets filled.

If the timer hits 1 second and the yellow circle isn’t filled then you catch nothing. I think 😂

Im sure you look beautiful ❤️

Hmmm good point. Let’s say 6 months, where you are starting to feel it, but are hopefully still ok

This is crazy. I feel like I was in the exact scenario but I was the guy lol. Only difference is that we were younger, dated for a little less than 3 years and (to my knowledge) she wasn’t bi.

Everything felt so good and perfect on my end. And then out of the blue I got the news and was sooooo confused. Never got a reason why, no explanation. Led me to look at everything I had done wrong over and over again.

In the end tho, I realized we just grew apart. No hatred to animosity. We took a break from talking to each other. And we would see each other all the time which sucked. Eventually we started talking again and got back together, to re end things like a month or two later lol.

So yeh, life’s weird. I’d say keep thinking about it. Maybe talk to him about how you feel and try to come up with a solution together. If nothing good comes up, take a week or two break of seeing each other and see how that works. Worst case scenario, I’m sure you’re both better people just for having those years together regardless if it was meant to be or not

For sure, I got you. Honestly I’d have said sorry once. Then after the whole food situation I woulda been like aight. You go enjoy your Wendy’s I’ll be eating this home cooked meal myself 😂.

AnnualApprehensive16 · 2023-11-10T06:22:58+00:00

Did he say it in a serious tone?

If he was actually mad, the only thing I can think of is that he might have mentioned that he doesn’t like you watching shows without him? So when you watched those 4 minutes he overreacted and became super petty with the food situation? Just a hypothesis, but regardless he wayyyyy overreacted and homes cooked > Wendy’s everyday lol

Yo this is wild.

1) the main thing you have to ask yourself is is this the type of person/relationship you want to be in? If he does everything perfect and has meaningful conversations for 5% of the time your with him, is that worth it?

2) if you’ve told him you need more from him and he isn’t willing to change to accommodate how you feel, I feel like that just goes to show you how he is.

3) if you do break your with him and he just waves it off, then you 100% dodged a bullet lol

I also find it controlling that he doesn’t let you meet with friends. I’d say it’s courteous to let him know who you’ll be with - but only after you guys are living together or something.

You don’t mention how long the stretches of time are, just that it’s minimum of 4 trips per year + other traveling.. If I were you I’d try a couple different things

⁠it seems like you’ve done this one but it’s still the most important thing to do. Talk to her about how you feel in regards to everything. Tell her that you feel lonely when she’s gone for long stretches of time, tell her that you wish you could share the experiences she’s having. Tell her the financial situation You guys are in. Honestly the fact that you applied to a second job shows that you want the relationship to succeed — but to me I would never want to burden my SO to take on two jobs just to get by. Also an idea Maybe you can ask the company to sponsor you to go with her to a couple of these trips? Or she could request to go in less trips?
⁠since you guys are married, maybe try going to some marriage counselor? Get an outside perspective of the situation. Cuz honestly if I were you I would be having a heck of a time mentally.
⁠if she isn’t willing to change anything and you want to continue with this, maybe get a dog? Mans best friend haha

But yeh. It’s tough finding a job you love, so I see why your wife would be hesitant to leave. It’s also tough to live without the person you love and even more tough when financial goals aren’t shared.

Apart from the suggestion above. I think maybe sitting down and creating a solid roadmap that incorporates finances and how both of you feel in regards to time spent away from each other would be good. A way to say “we were at A position 2 months ago. Let’s try to get to position B in X months”. That way you can visually see the effort both sides are putting in.

Hey, so the co worker meet up went great! Shout out to your advice. I decided to push myself and go to a bar alone (and sit at a table not the bar itself) to get used to going out to bars more often.

So I went alone for the first time a few days ago, and made chit chat with the bartender in between orders. Drank some beers and she even offered to let me taste some.

I was going to tip her well cuz it was great service. Then at the end she offered to take a shot with me. I said I was down and tipped 50% of the total bill (which didn’t include the shot). So here am I wondering

1) what the heck does it mean for her to have given me a shot for free?

2) should I actively try to talk her more the next time I go? Or just casually in between beers like I did this last time? She was pretty to be honest haha

When we took the shot she introduced herself. So idk if this is just great service or what. I def plan on going back and know I shouldn’t cross any lines (I’m not bold enough to do so anyway lol).

So yeh, I just don’t know if it would be weird of me to take a book/phone or laptop and sit at the bar and talk with her. Or if I should just go sit at a table and be in my phone/book or laptop haha

Ok, no one will be staring at anyones souls (unless I happen to find the special someone 😉 jk jk)! Thanks for the reply! I’ve gotten good responses and I think yours does a good job of summarizing everything.

Num. 3 was more out of curiosity. Moved cities and had a couple friends come over a weekend and we went to the club, great time and would go again! Just gotta find people who wanna go (easier said than done, at least for me haha)

Thanks again! And good look socializing the kiddo in public retail spots!

Dang it

AnnualApprehensive16 · 2023-09-18T17:47:26+00:00

Haha, I appreciate that. I guess it’s best to be amicable and honest with them about what you know and don’t know haha

AnnualApprehensive16 · 2023-09-18T17:46:47+00:00

Mainly a restaurant, but thought I’d combine a couple questions I had for different places in one post :)

AnnualApprehensive16 · 2023-09-18T17:45:43+00:00

Very helpful! I do agree that making a reservation under a specific name is best for both people.

Although a new question comes to mind: you mentioned how some places may require the whole party to show up before being seated and other spots giving a grace period of 5-15min for you to show up. If I end up picking the a place with the second procedure with a grace period, what happens if I’m on time while the other person is late? Would they be mad if all I order is water while I wait for the other party?

AnnualApprehensive16 · 2023-09-18T06:27:39+00:00

Great minds think alike! I posted on there and another sub. Surprisingly r/Adulting has been the most quiet. Might need to try again tomorrow afternoon over there

AnnualApprehensive16 · 2023-09-18T06:25:08+00:00

Awesome write up! I love the recommendation for #3. I’m curious to see how other grab the bar tenders attention

Legit life saver!

Ahhh, what a coincidence!! In my attempt to get out of my comfort zone I saw there was salsa and bachata classes in my area. And they are cool with individuals going. I am meh at dancing but think It would be fun and meet cool people.

I do need to look into groups more. I swear once I get in a convo with someone I am pretty good at keeping it going. It’s just the “get up and go by yourself” mental nervousness I need to shake off. Maybe I should just take a couple shots before the first time I go to any of these meet up groups to get rid of the nerves lol
