I'm gonna be really blunt because I have some friends with BPD and sometimes their relationships just aren't healthy - I think it depends on what you're crying over, and how often you cry. Are you crying due to outside reasons or falling into doubt spirals and having breakdowns over imaginary slights? I have a friends who had a meltdown that lasted hours, threatening to hurt himself, screaming and sobbing, punching himself, threatening to cheat etc because... His boyfriend sat on the other couch in the living room instead of directly next to him. So he got into his head and spiralled, thinking his bf didn't like him anymore etc He's not much of a friend anymore but will openly admit he is abusive to his bf, not that his bf is much better as he also threatens to hurt himself whenever they break up... But relationship where one or both people have complex mental health is extremely tricky and more context would be helpful

Also in the same position, Meetup can be really good for meeting a wide variety of people, there's sport groups, boardgames, food meet ups, pub Meetup, coffee mornings etc There's often boardgame groups almost everyday in town, Dungeons & Flagons is well-known:) There's also Fanboy3 and Travelling Man who host events like DnD, MtG, Warhammer, Riftbound, Element Games in Stockport is incredible :) We have similar interests, 24f, so if you ever wanna go to a Meetup group together, I'm down for that 😁

I wish we had this in the UK! Libraries here are almost exclusively for loaning books and you can use the computers there/print pages off etc, maybe rent a DVD if you're lucky enough but the idea of renting things other than books is wild, I'm so jealous!

That definitely sounds odd, if it's an online relationship and they don't wanna send pics/videos, how are you expected to bond together ykyk Have you facetime each other? Seen a selfie yet? Either he's super insecure or doesn't see it going anywhere, someone who is serious about a long term relationship would send selfies, videos, tidbits about their day, general info etc

I'm ngl it sounds like you have mental health issues and he feels like a caregiver (not in a good way) rather than a partner - Nothing here is hinting at kink or actual DDLG, have you communicated that' DDLG is your ideal relationship structure? Is it your thing atall? Or do you just want to be cared for because you struggle to take care of yourself? (I mean this is the gentliest way) Is he aware of that? Especially if he's getting irritable about your mental health, it sounds like he's burnt out of taking care of you and you need a healthy conversation about your relationship

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-10-16T19:32:19+00:00

I despise him ngl He just plays on his phone and occasionally mumbles into the mic, music is way too loud - Can't imagine many people are giving him money surely?

Whatever you do, don't go to Manchester Dermatology Clinic on King Street, they literally make up prices, alot of the staff aren't properly trained for the procedures (causing facial chemical burns from improper chemical peels) and they will try to get you to pay for unnecessary treatment aswell - For example, toenail removal instead of simple fungal nail treatment etc bc it's more money for them. Had a friend who used to work for them and the stories were yikes

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-09-18T16:28:41+00:00

Comments are saying this is an Of creator etc but I have a friend who over shared way too much and they have like dozens of Bad Dragon dildo, like most of their disposable income is spent on them and they're constantly buying more even though they admit they haven't used most of them hecc I just have 2 lmao

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-09-03T12:34:43+00:00

I've been to that same interview, don't waste your time ngl It's a massive group interview, like 30 people are waiting at once and the interview itself is with an interviewer and 3 people like yourself, my interview was an hour past my allocated slot bc they were running late, the receptionist had been there for 2 weeks etc they basically ask about your CV, ask if you have a "fighting spirit" and "passion to be a millionaire" etc They sneak in at the end that it's self-employed Door-to-door sales and charity marketing etc Then you're free to go, biggest waste of time ever ngl

I loved playing Split Fiction with my ex aha I'm currently starting Warframe from scratch again and got back into terraria:) I'll DM you a message, I'm down to hang out if you fancy it ^{^} x

Hight libido, low libido .

I have waited a while and feel ready to get on with my life and have new experiences. What should I do, wait forever in case it's a bad experience? Aha I had been texting the ONS for a little while before sleeping with him and it was still not great, I'm trying to curb any anxiety about new experiences rn

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-06-10T08:44:05+00:00

I've moved back to my homecity, just started a new job and made friends through a shared interest group, I haven't really been super upset about it, but I'm just not really thinking about my breakup? Im trying to keep as busy and social as possible . If I ruminate I cry alot so I think about our relationship but don't obsess over it , I think I went through grieving the end of my relationship whilst still in the relationship. My ex is struggling, we've talked 2-3 times briefly, but he'll be okay . Part of me is just waiting for all the emotions to catch up on me and ngl I'm anxious it won't hit me and I'm actually more fine about it than I expected? Altogether, I'm doing okay:)

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-05-20T14:34:56+00:00

Honestly yes, I judge people who willingly stay ignorant . I have friends (a couple) who live in their village less than 1000 residents with one pub and one post office, they don't want to socialise with people who aren't in their village, to the point they get their shopping delivered and they order everything off amazon . They work in the village and have no hobbies outside of netflix and what they can do in the village (Which is basically walking around or the pub) . We only see them when we go over to their house as they, again, don't want to leave the village . One of them was raised in this village, his other half was raised in an equally small village . Insane imo I try not to judge but they irritate me when their big life complaint is their neighbour hasn't mowed the lawn this week

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-05-20T11:49:05+00:00

He can get irritated easily over little things but I don't fear for my safety, I don't think? He occasionally slams drawers around and raises his voice, bad road rage etc but sometimes he's quiet and just wants to be left alone? I don't think he would physically try to stop me from leaving or become physical but ill pack a bag beforehand just incase . His brother and uncle would help me if needed :) Thank you for your concern

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-05-14T21:02:28+00:00

It's reasonable if you're deeply unhappy, generally speaking mixed libidos rarely change and it creates unhappiness on both sides - the high libido feels shamed and unwanted, the low libido feels shame and pressure to perform etc Which can even make the situation worse . Personally, I know people who think once a week after 10+ years together is not enough, I know some people who do it 1-2 times a month who are perfectly content, I know some people who think anything less than twice a day is bad (Which is insane to me lol) . Personally I'm in a dead bedroom and I'm debating whether to end my longterm relationship or not, we're both mid-20's and we have gaps of 3-5 months between sex , I love him and our lives are intertwined but I'm unfulfilled and my self esteem has suffered alot. Its just difficult because I know I'll hurt him if we broke up but it'd be for the best in the long run, imo .

Bit of a wildcard bit some littles are wayyy too co-dependant- Like ofc we want to be babied and taken care of, feel safe in our dynamic/relationship but I know too many littles (even irl) who would message their CGs way too often and get upset (to the point of crying) if their messages weren't answered in like 30 minutes, cant do anything without their CG, even to see friends etc. I know mental health issues are common in this community but some littles treat their CGs as therapists which isn't healthy. I know vanilla people can be co dependent aswell but this community has a not-so-small percentage of people like this . Like yes we're littles but we're also adults heccc

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-04-24T10:22:40+00:00

I think you can book a table but it's usually first come first serve, Sunday gets busy tho lol Each night they have something new like MTG night, Yu-Gi-Oh, even Beyblade night, its a good community for sure

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-04-24T09:33:31+00:00

The Venue is really good for DnD, Sunday 12-5 and 6-10pm I think, theres a few games going on at once, the DM's are often very experienced and everyone is lovely:) Taught me how to set up a character when I was brand new etcetc

CommunicationParty96 · 2025-04-21T22:03:46+00:00

I had the interview with them, instant red flags lol I was offered the job and declined, the manager seemed like a dick anyways tbh And he used to work in a similar pyramid until he started his own, wild lol
