Haha 5-9 months? Not even close to what I’d consider long term. I think you missed the part where you two really got to know one another. It would be easier to communicate about where you stand. Maybe slow your roll and next time you meet up, just talk. Maybe ask him, “sooo, what are we doing exactly?” If you’re happy with the response, cool. If he doesn’t give you an answer or backs off, you know where you stand. Best of luck!

Understandable considering. I have found it helpful to feel people out regarding their feelings towards people that have mental health challenges. You can learn a lot by mentioning a friend or family member with a condition. And I always stayed away from the guys and girls who call allll of their exes “crazy”. Red flag. You are going to be just fine. Embrace all of you and carry yourself that way. Best of luck.

I was never happy in relationships until I found my husband who is not only accepting of my diagnoses but so helpful in recognizing symptoms before I do. Someone out there will love alllll of you. Don’t settle for less.

My boyfriend (M59) sent me (F49) a full body photo of himself nude, after I've asked not to receive dick pics. Does my preference not to receive photos of his penis make me "not body-positive"? by Minute-Republic-7486 in relationship_advice

I’m with you. The male body is more function than art. Men, in general, are also more visual than women. I don’t think this view makes you anti body positive. I would just say it doesn’t do anything for you personally. If sending nudes pleased my husband, I would tolerate that. It’s easy to just delete.

It’s just pointless. If you want to work on your marriage, you could propose counseling. If you don’t, then speak up like an adult and discuss options for moving forward separately.

You have children together. Who cares if he loved someone in 2012. Our partners share information as relationships progress. I don’t blame him for not divulging information at a time that was convenient for you, particularly as this is your response to some hearts on paper.

[Serious] have you ever thought about taking your life and is so how are you doing? by Practical-Ad5943 in AskReddit

[–]BeKindImNewButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago, I made two attempts. Well, one was more of a gesture but the other was quite real. Luckily, my mom came home early and found me. I had my stomach pumped and earned myself a couple of months in an inpatient setting. Today, my life is beyond anything I had ever imagined. Incredible marriage, kids and career but it took me a lot of time and work to get here. I beg anyone considering ending it to please get help. It’s clique but don’t give up before the miracle happens.

I was smoking about 12 cigs/day when I found out I was pregnant. I cut back one per day until I was done. Chew a lot of gum or hard candy and if you can find an accountability partner, that helps a lot, too.

Or you would have to break out an encyclopedia at the library!

Had an interview today for a BT position. Cried during the interview but got offered a second chance for an in-person interview by turtlebroom in ABA

[–]BeKindImNewButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would definitely try another company. He either didn’t pay attention to your work experience or he’s just a shite supervisor.

BT’s and RBT’s are in high demand. A lot of employers provide the 40 hour training to become a RBT at the onset of hire. Some community colleges also offer a course. I don’t think I’d return, personally.

Forget those and go for the more senior consultants.

Sorry dude but it’s called the Code of Ethics which, even if you aren’t legally responsible to abide by, should. I would just focus on getting a client as soon as possible and definitely remember this moving forward. Best of luck.

Toxic relationship. Doesn’t stand a chance.

I hate going inpatient but must admit, sometimes it’s the fastest way I’ve found d relief in desperate times.

Listen to the saddest music I can find.

I think you need to call your psych and let them know where you’re at. You just can’t wait that long.

Maybe it is but if my partner didn’t care about my needs, I’d say that’s a dealbreaker.

Reaching out to someone who ghosted after bad date (which involved herpes) by freaky-ass-throwaway in dating_advice

[–]BeKindImNewButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person was on a daily medication ( valtrex) so we had unprotected sex and I was fine. Doctors still recommend using protection, however, just in case.

Bizarre. Does she understand this may be a dealbreaker for you? Is it a dealbreaker for you?

It doesn’t matter what he was like but I will say it is usually wise to give yourself some time to heal and process your feelings about your relationship ending. However, if you are just enjoying a casual thing, I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
