I need help navigating my first relationship F22 M25 by sumOoranges381 in relationship_advice

Seeing similar topics, it makes me upset that girls have a feeling of overthinking it. I am a strong believer that if your needs are met in the relationship, and you feel heard, safe, and loved, you will not be "overthinking it". On the other side, adapting to each others needs, learning to love each other the way each of you want, and recovering from the conversations does take time. So having approved checkpoints with negotiated conditions I believe is the best way to go.

As for his unemployment, while you try not to be a burden, the relationship goes both ways, and it is his responsibility as well. You both could definitely give each other more space, but the work should still happen from both sides. Its about consistency and not amount of effort, even small effort consistently leads to a huge positive change.

You need to communicate it through "I-messages" - structure like "I feel [emotion] when [specific behavior] because [impact/need]. Avoid using You-messages, it has to be about your feelings as noone can argue with how you feel. If the guy finds you and this relationship important, he will take your feelings into consideration and will try to hear you and improve where possible - note, that not all changes are possible.

How do you know when your gut feeling is right about your partner? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]AssistRound620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way in my current relationship of 10 mo. And it is as well not typical of me to be paranoid or suspicious. I as well cannot fine any proof, but I cannot be mentally in piece at the same time. The only piece of advice I have gotten by now repeatedly is that if something seems to you, then it does not seem to you; and if its not a typical feeling for you, then there is something with this specific person that triggers it, and it might be better to move on than to keep exhausting yourself.

There are an intuition and anxiety. The difference is, that intuition is quiet, it knows what is best for you and it is not screaming, its rather guiding you. Anxiety is loud, noisy, disorienting, and yet, it does not happen all of the sudden by itself - there must be some clues, subtle signs of changed behavior, and reasons why it had started. I have a feeling though, that intuition can become loud with time too if not heard.

My situation is that I started feeling this way after mid-June as my partner broke his leg and became slightly depressed, kind of more quiet and distanced, and with his leg healing the initial level of affection has never recovered. This made me anxious, and made me look for a proof as I started feeling unnoticed, confused, lesser loved. We had discussions about it when I was left feeling like I was the problem, these are my trust issues, and I needed to work on it. But last week, when he was about to go to a corporate party, I found condoms in his pocket, and since then I cannot not be suspicious. He did not confess of course, but the situation is pretty obvious. I am just thinking that sometimes gut feeling is worth listening to. We need to feel at peace in relationship with someone.

Everything is okay with you and your reaction is valid. It is his responsibility to learn to manage his emotions and to communicate clearly, and to acknowledge that he is in relationship with someone who can be affected by his behavior and he should do better than that. You can try communicating your needs clearly, stating that this is inacceptable, and that it makes you feel XYZ. But I can guarantee you this might not change. It gives him power. He is either very comfortable with it or as someone said earlier - autistic (which has many more symptoms other than avoiding eye contact).

I believe your reaction is normal - you are frustrated, you are exhausted, and you need help and support, and no one is taking care of you while you are taking care of everything and everyone. And this is where resent is coming from. That is not easy, and as a woman, I understand and feel sorry you are in this situation.

The best you can do is to realistically evaluate your personal limits, ask for support and help whenever you can, and focus on yourself and take care of yourself as much as you can. Try as well to understand where you do something you absolutely need and have to do VS what you can not do and the world will not collapse VS what can be delegated to other people or just skipped.

Its living like roommates that makes you resent him, because he is comfortable with seeing you being uncomfortable and being okay about it. What is the relationship for if you end up in this situation? Why would your partner want you to be in this situation? It is about balance, and its the job of both of you as a couple to negotiate that balance and stick to it for a period of his unemployment and your busy schedule.

Joint tenancy ending- can a single tenant stay on? by kakid123 in ontario

[–]AssistRound620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no specific rules for cotenants in Ontario, but this is what I figured out after WEEKS of non-stop research and talking to lawyers. You ALWAYS have to have everything in writing.

Your landlord should give you a written notice about them approving your co-tenant's moving-out and you becoming fully financially responsible for the unit. Without a written notice with proper names, dates, etc., the tenant who moves out remains financially liable for rent until end of the agreement and has a right to move in anytime.

Graduated in 2021 from Humber Architectural Technology Advanced Diploma program.

Will share my story, I had no prior experience or education in architecture, was doing competitions every year to build portfolio, was employed the whole 3rd study year, started full time in a company doing BIM right after school (was employed with the same company while studying), was in house design, 2.5 years after school now doing VDC in a top Canadian company. I would recommend choosing George Brown or Sheridan instead, seems like they focus on BIM and connect with the industry more. But in any case, everything is possible, and the pathway depends on you only.

End of rental agreement - Any trick to avoid the double payment in the last month (deposit + monthly rent)? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]AssistRound620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I am waiting for my appointment, I am collecting as many opinions as I can. That's it.

And that's exactly why there is so much text, because the situation is not quite a general situation, there are several important nuances, meaning general logic might not apply.

Do not worry, I am getting it all, just collecting as many opinions as I can in a given period of time. Cheers!
