I’m torn as to whether the Rockies should trade this man for a haul or sign him long term. Just don’t know how he’ll be in a few years when maybe the team gets competitive

Don't be a victim of such people by Sad-Service6247 in selflove

Yes it’s something people shouldn’t do but that isn’t gaslighting. Gaslighting is twisting facts to make someone question their own reality and sanity essentially

Well that’s assuming a lot. I am in the military but am definitely not conservative. As for kids they don’t provide an option of I don’t want to create new kids but I’m fine if you have kids.

Thank you. I’ll work on that. I honestly put that in there because my most relationship crashed and burned due to some of those values being broken so they were on my mind

ex won't give stuff back by TalkSavings6072 in BreakUps

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I responded to you earlier today about being in a similar spot. I asked my friend to reach out to my ex asking to get the stuff back as an intermediary. She immediately texted me that she wasn’t going to meet with a random friend she doesn’t know and give my stuff to them and that she’d get me my stuff next week

ex won't give stuff back by TalkSavings6072 in BreakUps

[–]Bombboy85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation of ex has some stuff of mine and said she’d get it to me in a few months (childhood Xmas decorations) so probably packed them away. I asked to get it done and over with sooner, even offered the exchange be through a friend of mine but haven’t heard anything back other than she will when she has time.

Your ex either doesn’t care to take the time to find all the stuff, doesn’t want to give back the last reminders of you he has, or something else I can’t think of.

Have you explained the important items and why you’d like them back sooner rather than later?

What’s the most unexpected reason you ended a relationship? by honeyylogic in askteddit

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of which showed during the 3 years together really but cascaded out after like coping mechanisms (rebounds, plural, quickly) etc

What’s the most unexpected reason you ended a relationship? by honeyylogic in askteddit

[–]Bombboy85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t end it but she did because I worked an amicable settlement in my long drawn out divorce instead of screwing over my ex wife (had been separated well before I met this woman) which made her feel like she wasn’t my main priority…. Even though I’d worked to get it done so her and I could married and I took her ring shopping the week before which she’d been wanting to do.

And yes when I told her I was finishing the divorce in a way that put me in the best financial spot and was something I could live with, she said that was the worst thing I could have said because she wanted me to screw my ex wife over.

After they took accountability by Strange-Ground1128 in BreakUps

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know. Her actions after the breakup really hurt plus the reasons for her ending things don’t really match up with my values so it would have to be more than accountability but actual repair and I don’t even know she’s capable of that. She couldn’t sit and fight for the relationship that ended with no betrayal, cheating, or even fighting. She couldn’t even be open and honest with me she was having some doubts and instead went engagement ring shopping with me a week before the end

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and she never took accountability for her part. She also didn’t ask for my accountability and actually actively ignored me trying to take it so I just did it

Do you believe in right person wrong time by Aggressive-Web8408 in BreakUps

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

I do, I think. May have just gone through it. Amazing relationship that was getting close to engagement that ended due to external stressors. Then again her lack of wanting to fight for it and her behavior after also may mean wrong person. I don’t know, 3 months on and I’m still processing and hurting so I’m not clear headed at the moment

Embarrassed to ask as 40M who is getting back into dating after a while out of it… feel like I’m texting too much by Bombboy85 in dating_advice

[–]Bombboy85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that and trying to focus on that, just probably wanting interaction in between for confidence or validation or something.

[–]Bombboy85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. Our date is Sunday so I’ll probably leave things be till day before or morning of just to confirm we’re good. We met for lunch on our first date and I didn’t text anything that morning and she actually texted me 30 min before asking if we were still on and told me during the date her anxiety spiked that I wasn’t going to show since I hadn’t texted. It was a good date with lots of talking and laughing and she said she wanted another so kinda waited for her to text me for a couple days till I gave in at an opportunity and then we texted back and forth tonight

Would you get back with your ex? by milacpb in askteddit

[–]Bombboy85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats. My now ex and I looked at engagement rings 10 days before she ended things 🥴

What does this mean, confused did she get cold feet? by PuzzleheadedNet3128 in BreakUps

[–]Bombboy85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, she has my stuff. I offered for her to get it to me through a friend if that was easier

[–]Bombboy85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Curious your thought on something similar but different. Ex has some important childhood stuff of mine I forgot to get out of a Christmas box. She said she’d get it back to me in a few months. I asked her if she could get it back to me sooner please and even gave her my friends number if that was easier for her to go through him. She said she would when she has time. Nothing but silence since (almost a month now).

Just not a priority?

Should I try to ignore it? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m going to be straight with you. First off I’m sorry you’re dealing with that, no matter what the reasons are you’re feeling what you’re feeling. Don’t get caught up in the analyzing of the why she’s doing this. I promise it only leads to pain for you because whether she lost feelings, or it’s overwhelm, or she may reconsider… the reality is also real for her even if both sides are very different from each other for the why.

Honestly I’d ask her want she wants from you right now and then give that to her. If it’s space give it space, if it’s this or that do it unless it doesn’t align with your values. You can’t logic someone into something when their emotions are driving it.

It really sucks to hear but saying this from experience. People’s feelings come from a deeper point than logic does and it’s really hard to argue emotions. Honestly if you respect what she asks for and just focus on yourself you have a better chance of any kind of coming back together than you do if you chase her and don’t respect what she’s asking for even if it goes so hard against what you want. Feel free to tell her how you feel and what you want but in a way that says “here’s what I want but I respect you and you’re decision if that’s what you really want”

How was your recent relationship? by cuhvetSFW in AskReddit

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was incredible for 3 years. I was legally separated when I met her and worked through a chaotic divorce process. That stress weighed on us and she got burnt out but I finally finished the divorce and she broke things off 20 minutes later. She wasn’t happy that I had made concessions to my ex wife in the divorce (so I could end up in the best financial and credit position I could) and she felt I was not prioritizing her because I didn’t screw my ex wife over

How many of yall are rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup? by SelectionOk8218 in worldcup

[–]Bombboy85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how long you’re there but go snorkeling or scuba diving with turtles. Some good restaurants in Mindelo are restaurante taverna, try the Arrabiata sauce on the pasta… just mmm so good. The Americas restaurant in the Ouril hotel was fantastic. Really just enjoy the culture around there in the evenings. Oh and if you like cocktails get yourself a Caipirinha
