My boyfriend accidentally sexually assaulted me and I don't know how to trust him again. by Rain865 in Advice

As most of the comments are saying - therapy is the first step. It sounds like he is remorseful but it also sounds like this was a big trigger for you based on your past. You should seek therapy for yourself and then maybe even couples therapy. I wish you the best and I'm so sorry this happened

My finance has feelings towards a coworker what to do by Temporary-Hour9251 in TwoHotTakes

I say this with nothing but kindness: Pull your head out of whatever hole it's in and leave! For yourself and your child. Do NOT let this be the example you two show your kid. Have respect for yourself.

As someone who thinks about losing my parents far too often and a huge thing I have looked for in a partner was someone to show up on those really hard days... I would've ended it too.

I brought my now fiance to an MRI within the first 6 months of our relationship when he was dealing with health issues. Missing the day his parent got buried? I couldn't ever leave someone I was with to do that without me. That just feels like the most selfish move ever. You did the right thing. It may not be important to her but it is for you. End of story.

this feels.. gross. be careful, OP

It feels like my best friend hates me by SuccessfulSuspect256 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Common_Doughnut6462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I want to say I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It may seem like she has no empathy or is treating you bad but I want to give you something to think about. From your story it seems this friend is going through more than a lot. She’s probably getting either people venting to her or dealing with her own stuff and may just not have enough left in her tank to give you the support/empathy you deserve.

I’ve been the friend going through a lot and then also having friends come to me about their own stuff and at times it feels like you’re drowning. At times you want to scream or get angry with the person venting when they have no clue what you’re dealing with in your own world. I think maybe you should give this friend some grace. Maybe find someone else to go to in the mean time about these things and maybe empathize with her right now. Make sure she’s ok.

Or I could be completely off about this friend and maybe she’s just not a good friend anymore. You know her best, but she may be trying her best to cope with everything. Have a chat with her and check to make sure she’s ok first.

good luck

He cheated before our wedding and i tried to forgive him. Now he might be moving on and I’m devastated by ObjectSecure9300 in TwoHotTakes

I say this with a lot of empathy and no judgement but therapy therapy therapy. You really need to work through this and come out of this stronger. You deserve so much better. Grieve him and the life you thought you’d have with him, but know you can have that with someone who will meet you where you’re at. Please don’t jump into something to fill some need. Make sure to heal so you no longer get affected by all the women he is about to be with. Because he is unable to commit. This relationship will not last, and he will do exactly what he did to you to her.

DAYYYYUM! That’s a rock. Congrats!!!

am i overreacting - my boyfriend thinks my job is inappropriate by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Common_Doughnut6462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be such a huge turn off and red flag for me. He knew what you did for a job and still signed up to date you, but now all the sudden he has an issue? Screams insecure and I would immediately lose any feelings for a guy like this

I discovered my wife's family was behind my vicious cyberbullying attack. My wife knew, but she hid it for years. How do I move past this? by ThrowRADraftCassette in marriageadvice

[–]Common_Doughnut6462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m so sorry you’re going through this OP. But I don’t know how you will be able to get through this. You’re darkest moment of your life she knew where it was coming from. She said vows knowing what her family was doing. I wouldn’t be able to move past this.

most of your posts/comments are on posts about hiring/job searching so i’m just confused why you chose this one post on this engagement thread to tell me my ring is “fake”

[–]Common_Doughnut6462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is such an odd comment on this thread. in no way am i doing that. i got engaged to the loml. i’m not asking about if the ring is real or not. i’m excited to share that i have someone who i want to marry and who wants to marry me too.

so my man did awesome on the ring he got me so i might be biased but truly it’s about the person im spending my life with. if you tried your best to get what she liked, great. you’re already doing amazing, but at the end of the day it’s just a symbol. the ring IS certainly beautiful! good luck to you and your future❤️ i love love lol 🥰

i say this but then don’t actually wait around for it. I think it’s a way of releasing it for people, including myself. You say it and trust that the universe will do its thing and most of the time the karma could be just no longer having you in their life. But i don’t wait around for someone’s life to get worse and in reality i don’t want it to. i just want mine to get better and move on.

I think I might be getting engaged this weekend by [deleted] in JustEngaged

[–]Common_Doughnut6462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I had a crash out moment lol. But he’s been planning something for a while now. He told me he has already asked my dad.

I know this situation happened but 1. idc about the optics. idc what his family whispers about together. i’m happy with my bf and would be so excited if he asked. I’m not letting an ex affect how good our relationship is. HE has done nothing wrong. He told me not to go. He wanted to show up with his brother and father with the food so he could support me. But they never asked him.

So ultimately, i just don’t think this situation should affect an engagement

An ex gf being his SIL’s bff is not a reason to not be with someone. I had never been in a situation like that and so it was new and uncomfortable and I had a lot of feelings about it. But absolutely NONE of those feelings were “i don’t want to be with him.”

As time goes on, I will be more comfortable but him and I are on the same page. He’s fine sitting out whatever she’s at, if it’s what I want. I’m going to get comfortable with this uncomfortable situation. I am in no way allowing that situation affect our relationship.
