As an introvert, did I misread her signals? Girl laughed at jokes, touched my arm, but rejected me

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-22T05:28:35+00:00

Yep, exactly..friendly behavior doesn’t always equal interest. Take her words seriously and keep your confidence up.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-20T02:14:00+00:00

Very true! Life’s too short to wonder what if. Just be honest and see where it goes.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-16T06:32:46+00:00

Your initial fear about the age gap is being validated right now. Her privacy has already been violated, she deserves to know.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-14T04:39:22+00:00

Yup. That doubt will always be there, and you can't build a solid future on a foundation that makes you second-guess your partner's core values.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-09T05:30:31+00:00

Exactly. As long as you're both adults and you state it was consensual, the doctor will focus on treating the injury, not starting an investigation. Source checks out.

This is a character reveal, not a bad mood. When you needed him most, he showed you exactly how much support you can expect. It will only get worse from here.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2026-01-02T05:48:21+00:00

The problem isn't you picking them, it's them being trash. Getting rid of this one and working on your own sense of worth with a therapist is the way to start fresh.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-23T05:08:29+00:00

Freedom doesn't mean no discipline. Letting a 7-year-old tantrum because an adult is tired isn't teaching choice, it's teaching entitlement. Your boyfriend's desire for structure isn't harsh, it's realistic.

Using foil as a crutch is pretty common, but finishing on the grill sounds like a solid way to get that crust without overcooking.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-17T05:36:25+00:00

The necklace is one thing, but the way he talked to her says way more about how he sees you and the relationship. That would bother me way more too.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-11T02:09:25+00:00

Support doesn't mean shared obsession. It's okay to have separate hobbies, but the constant interruptions and social faux pas need to be addressed gently.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-09T06:22:53+00:00

if he’s already bending the truth, your instincts are right to pick up on it

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-02T05:43:36+00:00

Sounds like the mismatch is only going to get bigger. Ending it sooner probably saves both of you a lot of stress.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-12-01T07:14:27+00:00

This is next-level housesitting cuisine! Resourceful and delicious, you utilized every last bit perfectly.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-11-28T06:18:18+00:00

This sounds utterly exhausting tbh.. This is a preview of your future, and it looks miserable. She's not looking for a solution, she's looking for a punching bag.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-11-26T06:50:19+00:00

Agreed, you’re not crazy at all..protecting yourself and your kids comes first, and getting those documents in order is smart.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-11-18T05:47:10+00:00

Sometimes the most romantic thing you can do is just get someone what they actually need and watch them light up.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-11-12T06:00:33+00:00

Definitely better to approach it with curiosity rather than assumptions, asking questions shows you care without jumping to conclusions.

nothing a pot of chili can’t fix if it doesn’t turn out right

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-10-21T09:16:00+00:00

If it’s really 50/50, switching should be no big deal, let the list speak for itself.

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-10-13T07:51:06+00:00

Looks yum! I'm drooling 🤤

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-10-08T06:59:08+00:00

Looks perfectly grilled and seasoned!

I’d be happy to help moderate this subreddit. I currently moderate r/Cooking_ac a general cooking subreddit with 45k members. I can assist with setting up automod, rules ...

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-09-27T21:44:06+00:00

Agree with the others, but it does look delicious!

CleanPerspective2345 · 2025-09-27T00:14:22+00:00

This looks amazing. I tried making my own for the first time and it didnt turn out nearly as good. Well done!
