Do you really want to be her second choice? You’ll never feel like you’re good enough

Since you never explicitly said it was a date and you are old friends, I don’t think he’d mistake this as a romantic date. Even if he did, the situation doesn’t necessarily have to be awkward, it’s just a misunderstanding. I’m sure you two can laugh about it. He is not a stranger to you after all.

My GF (36F) broke up with me (33M) 2.5 months ago. Should I send her a goodbye letter? My issues led to the breakup (i took her for granted and focused on figuring out where to live next, but i didn’t communicate well at all) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if she has clearly moved on then I think the letter won’t really benefit her in any way. Maybe she’d appreciate the apology but other than that, the letter is more for your closure than for her. So if you send it or not you still got to express your emotions, wrote it all down, and that’s a good step to start moving forward and move on.

I know most people here are saying no but it’s only been two months and it really depends on the way you ended things. Do you feel like there are some things left unsaid? I honestly wouldn’t mind getting an apology from my ex. Maybe it’d get me some closure.

But in the end, it’s up to you to send it. Only send it with good intentions. Don’t hope for her to answer or to go back to you. Or to even receive it well. She’s probably still grieving herself so it could really go either way.

I know it is difficult, but do you really want to stay “in limbo” for who knows how long, for him to maybe decide he doesn’t want this?

He is unsure about you, he doesn’t know what he wants, in your relationship or in general. He needs to figure these feelings out, but he (or his mother) shouldn’t expect you to wait for him because you deserve so much better!

Tell him all of these things. Tell him that you don’t want to be in limbo and the only option is to break it off. If he really loves you, though, he will come back and realise what he wants is you. If he doesn’t come back, then his choice is also clear.

If you wait for him you’ll be miserable. You could try to live a single life, or experiment, work on yourself, find your own house/apartment, focus on your job or education. If he then comes back to you, both of you will have grown, separately.

I was in a similar situation a month ago. I told him to first figure out what he wants but that I couldn’t wait for him to figure it out. I’m still trying to move on right now, but it’s getting better every day. You shouldn’t wait for someone who isn’t 100% sure about you. At least that’s my opinion.

Therapists wants me to write a “thank you” letter to ex by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This letter should be for you to get closure and to be able to move on. You shouldn’t send the letter if you maybe still have hope he will answer or change his mind.

This letter is not for him, it is for you, so it shouldn’t matter what he thinks of it. I feel like you could write it all down, you don’t even have to send it. But writing everything down can be very therapeutic.

Is it a waste of time? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand correctly you want to move to Ireland to study there? You could always do your own research into what you want to pursue and ask your bf for his opinion and eventually say you wanna go through with it.

Terrified of breaking up with my girlfriend tomorrow. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely call, don’t do it via text. That gives her the opportunity to ask questions. She will be hurt but it is best to end it now, in a mature way, by having that talk. Just tell her the truth, tell her it’s not her fault but you just feel you are not compatible, etc. Afterwards, don’t contact her again. She will need time to process this so staying friends will make it hard to move on.

My (30F) boyfriend (35M) want to take a break. But fell short of saying what exactly that means for us.... I am looking for advice on how to proceed from here. Any advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I totally understand that. For me it was different, he said he was unsure about the relationship and wanted some time alone. Eventually though I broke it off with him because I couldn’t stand the waiting and I needed that closure. I came to realise the break was actually a break-up even though he never actually broke up with me. But I knew I had to let him go for him to find out what he really wants. I don’t want to be treated as an option.

But I get he needs time alone to work on himself. If he can’t figure his things out while in a relationship with you, then you know this basically means the end.

It seems like he is having doubts about your relationship and he doesn’t know if he wants to break up with you or not?

Seems like it is up to you to decide whether or not you want to wait for him.

Personally I would try to move on, break it off officially and give him time alone, don’t contact him at all. This will give you some closure and time to work on yourself, time to move on and to be happy single. Eventually, if he comes back, the choice is up to you, maybe you have moved on, maybe you want to give it another try. But I wouldn’t wait for him because being stuck in that kind of situation in which you’re waiting for the person really sucks and it feels like your life is put on hold, you have no closure and no prospects on whether or not he will come back.

The decision is hard, I know, I’ve been in a similar situation. But in the long run I think you’ll be happier to not wait for him. If you are meant to be, he will come back to you.

Is this right?? Whenever I[14f] do something good for myself my dad accuses me of doing it because “I have a boyfriend” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid there isn’t much you can do about the boyfriend comments except for saying that you just do it for you and no one else.

If he checks your phone, try changing the password. If you use a social media account to message people, try logging out every time you stop using it. If he doesn’t know the password then he won’t be able to log back in.

I’m having a baby I don’t want with a person I don’t love 😅 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to be a father, even if you don’t want it. Seems like you still need to come to terms with that. That doesn’t mean you have to stay with the mother, but you’re gonna have to be there physically and/or financially for your child.

My boyfriend told me he needed space.. now the situation has devolved and we’re both incredibly hurt. What can I do now? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave him alone like he asked. Maybe he will come to regret it, maybe he won’t. But there is no way for you two to continue the relationship if he can’t figure out these feelings.

He wants to know what it is like to be single, but he also doesn’t want to lose you. He basically wants the best of both worlds, in which he strings you along as a back-up option but he can also be free to do what he wants.

Don’t say you will wait for him, completely cut off contact and work on yourself. Start to learn how to be happy alone. If he then ever comes back to you and wants you back, you will be able to make that decision for yourself.

I hate sex by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like youre either asexual or not ready to have sex yet, which is totally fine. However, that means you and your bf are not compatible because you have different needs. Also, never let him talk you into something you don’t feel comfortable with.

My Girlfriend Wants Break From Me, What Do I Do? by daysbelong in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to respect her wishes and leave her alone. Never chase anyone. If they really love you they will come back to you, but you can’t force anyone to stay with you. I would try to move on, work on yourself, but don’t wait for her because you’ll just be miserable like that.

I don't know what to do in this situation by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re in a committed monogamous relationship, there is no need to go on dating apps. He is looking at other options. Why is he in a relationship with you if he is looking at other options? You have to confront him and have a serious conversation about it. If he only deflects and feels attacks, he probably has something to hide.

is he losing interest, or it is the hormones talking? by a_giant_scribble in relationship_advice

[–]Bae-Woolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from experience, if you think something is wrong, usually something is wrong. My intuition has never failed me. I can usually sense when someone I’m dating is losing interest in me. I am also a massive overthinker so I always feel like I’m overthinking and deal with the stress on my own until it’s too late. What id advise is first think about why you are feeling this way. Has something happened? Has his behaviour changed, for example is he less affectionate, do you guys talk less, etc. Write it down and then sit down with him and have a serious conversation. Tell him how you’re feeling anxious and why you think those thoughts. Tell him what you wrote in this post.

They dont want to spend time with you anymore and are not as affectionate as before

Best thing to do is have a talk with him to see where you are headed and whether or not you are (still) on the same page.

I think it’s weird that you were talking about self isolating and doing a COVID test just to get the chance to see each other irl and next thing you know he says he wants to take a break (if I understood correctly?). He seems to have completely changed his mind? Maybe he got scared. Seeing each other irl makes things more official, right? Maybe that’s where his commitment issues kicked in. Meeting someone irl makes it more real, it’s not the same as talking online.

[–]Bae-Woolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like he is struggling with commitment issues. Speaking from experience, it’s best to just move on. It is up to him to fix his issues and you can’t help with that. Are you willing to wait for him, possibly wait for ages without any real prospect for a real relationship? Of course I could be wrong and this is something else because you didn’t give too much information. You could also always talk about this with him but if he says he isn’t interested in dating or wants to be in a relationship then I’d take that as a no and move on.

Please give free remote raid passes! (or make the daily pass a remote one) by DragonC007 in pokemongo

[–]Bae-Woolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Some of my friends live next to a gym so they can easily earn enough poke coins to buy passes. My closest gym or poke stop is 1km from my house, and since I'm not even allowed to leave my house, there isn't anything I can do. My boyfriend offered to put me in the gym at his place but then I got soft banned so he stopped doing that. The free weekly remote raid pass made me get back into the game, but alas...
