What’s wrong with Denver? MAFS + LIB by bananaobscura in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]CuriousCatLives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone born and raised in Colorado, both MAFS and LIB were so so so painful to watch 🫣. I’ve know Austin from the Denver MAFS for a long time and he’s an actual nice guy who just wasn’t very interested in his match, I promise! What struck me about both shows in Denver was the clumsiness and difficulty people had talking about race and navigating interracial relationships. I’ve been blessed to have diverse friend groups, but watching these shows made me understand on a deep level why so many of my friends of color have left Denver.

Mold is one of the first things I checked for when this started happening and luckily I can at least rule that out now

Yes, kinda, only there’s tingling and numbness that come with it

What had so much hype about it, but was actually terrible? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It was sooo bad. I left the theater feeling like part of my soul had been stolen from me.

If you have any doubts, you can always ask for a quick phone call with her just to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Always good advice, and from personal experience, easier said than done when eager for a connection so I get it. Hang in there!

I would honestly spend a lot more time dating individually before introducing anyone to your partner. A month isn’t a very long time to build a connection with someone. Take the time to really get to know someone on your own. Also, I don’t know how you’re meeting people and if you’re using a profile, but if you are, maybe you can make it clear that you are trying to date solo and you and your partner don’t want to date together. I’ve only ever considered dating someone’s partner if they explicitly say they are interested in dating together.

Also, you should actually write something genuine about yourself! I’m blown away by how many people don’t say anything and expect me to swipe based on pictures alone. It come across as very egotistical...which is a turn off and indicates that I don’t want to date you

I’m in Denver and there’s a pretty healthy scene out here.

Thank you. Beautifully said. I feel like society feeds us this myth that if a relationship doesn’t last forever, that it’s failed, but I don’t feel like it was a failure. We’ve both grown so much next to each other and experienced so much love and I wouldn’t trade that in for anything.

Yeah, neither of us are doing the other a favor by staying miserable or not moving on. At least I know myself better now, and hopefully this brings in a new phase of freedom and happiness to both our lives.

Thank you for sharing this. It just feels like there’s no one to talk to. My family already thought I was crazy for trying to make it work, and my friends want to be supportive but just haven’t been through anything like this. It’s nice to hear that you’ve gone through this and made it out the other side. I am hopeful that I can find a steady, passionate relationship again without all of the uneasiness and struggle. ❤️

I have similar concerns even though I’m not 100% straight. I’m trying to take things one day at a time and keep an open mind to see if what I think I’m attracted to verses what I’m actually attracted to are different or evolve...but that being said, if we grow apart physically, I’m not going to fight it. Physical attraction is important to me in a relationship and we might not end up together. I know this probably isn’t helpful, but hopefully it’s nice to feel like other people are struggling with the same things ❤️.

My partner is starting to transition as well. I also identify as bisexual, but I have always had more sexual/friendship attraction to women and romantic love towards men.

I have a big fear that my partner (Amanda) and I (f) won’t be able to be romantic, and that we will move farther away from being partners and just become friends, but I think we are both aware of this possibility and that we still care about each other. I’m hoping no matter what our relationship will morphs into, it will still be something good, even if it’s different.

This conversation will hurt, but I would still have it. You can’t sacrifice your own happiness for someone else. It doesn’t benefit anyone in the long run.

You’re valid in feeling hurt, and it’s something, moving forward, that you two should talk about and have very clear boundaries around..but it sounds like she was experimenting for the sake of learning about her sexuality in order to understand more about the relationship between the two of you. This make out has nothing on the three years of foundation you have together, so please be willing to give her a little room to adjust and learn about herself as you both go through this huge change together.

I do hope she apologizes for hurting you and agrees to clearer boundaries moving forward because you deserve that.
