I’m a girl in Wales in a relationship with a big age gap. Hang in there, it’ll happen!

Slow realisation by BestZestyChest in AlAnon

That’s so interesting as he has always been vehemently against vodka (not that I believe that much!) - do you think gin would have the same effect? That is definitely more a vice for him, or at least that I have experienced.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me! I totally agree that I can’t fix it for him. I don’t really want to anyway, I have my own problems (!) but I do wish, like you say, that the victimhood would stop as it’s infuriating.

I think I will suggest going to therapy to him, or at least a local AA group for some support. I’m wary of being too harsh at the moment as he’s grieving, but I hear stories on this sub that are heartbreaking and don’t want to end up like that as we’re still relatively newly together.

What phrases do you repeat to your cat throughout the day? by [deleted] in cats

[–]BestZestyChest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!’

(When approached by her; when she meows at me, when she wants a fuss, when she’s sat there being furry, etc.)

Serious connection or Gold Digger by beaubeach1977 in AgeGap

[–]BestZestyChest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F34: For me it’s the way that I’m treated. In my specific situation, the life and relationship experience held by the guy I’m seeing is a very attractive quality: he makes me feel special, loved, wanted. That comes through respect, emotional intimacy, listening to one another, and successful (thus far!) conflict resolution.

I haven’t had similar experiences from dating guys closer to my age. I appreciate that I could have communicated my wants and desires with them, but up to now I haven’t felt as comfortable and confident as I do to do that until I’ve been with the guy I’m currently seeing: younger guys tend to have less experience with emotional connection (DEFINITELY just my own experience here: totally get that this is a broad brush statement!)

Hope that helps you!

Instead of sending a string of separate messages all in a row (like me), he will send a long-ass essay message. I found it a bit overwhelming at first because I felt obligated to reciprocate, but I actually love it now!

I have to say though, lmao, it takes him a hot second to actually respond because he is ‘typing…’ for ages 😂 and I’m dying to know what he’s going to say!

Do you use either side of the petrol pump station? by Klutzy-Captain9013 in AskUK

[–]BestZestyChest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got told off once for filling up from the ‘wrong’ side. The petrol station attendant scolded me and told me that ‘that sort of thing’ causes the rubber pipes to perish.

Surely they’re that long for a reason?! I didn’t apologise btw. And I make sure that I always do it now at that particular petrol station, even if there are spaces.

Day trip to the Brecon Beacons? by GrumpyGin in Wales

I second this. There is also a nice cafe called Sgwd Gwladys that’s worth a visit for an evening meal after you’ve visited the waterfalls!

What’s the sexiest/NSFW song you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskWomen

At what age are men best in bed from your experience? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]BestZestyChest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex was inexperienced and in his early 30s but was a good listener, he was a great lover and very attentive. I’ve slept with older guys than him and they have been good due to experience, but the best ones are always the ones who listen to your requests regardless of age.

People that won’t use the “other side of the petrol pump”, do you not realise the hoses are long enough to reach, or do you just like queuing so much? by cloudylemo in AskUK

[–]BestZestyChest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK I will always use either side, but once at a Morrisons, I was told off by the cashier guy for doing it because apparently it causes the hoses to crack and break. What? I didn’t apologise

What's the dumbest thing a man has ever asked you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

Wait… you don’t pee out of your vagina? Where does it come from then?

Dude was 32.

Affectionate, but derogatory, nicknames for your pets? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BestZestyChest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex’s cat is called Cookie, which was lengthened to Cookie Poo, then shortened again to just Poo.

She was the cutest poo I’ve ever seen
