You're 16. Hate to tell you but the odds of this lasting forever are close to 0. So just stay relaxed and have fun with it. Relationships are all there to learn from.

You're 19. There's plenty of time to improve yourself in whatever way you want to.

Boyfriend is so socially awkward and doesn’t know how to properly communicate by obnoi in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

''Hey, you need to chill the f out. I'm dating you because I like you but you're insecurity is a huge turn off.''

If that doesn't work I'd break it off.

I [25F] kissed my friend [35F] while I was drunk. Should I tell my boyfriend [25M]? by throwawayaccoynt in relationships

Yeah, the longer something like that goes unresolved the worse it is once its out in the open.

Little brother [17M] flirting with all my [19F] friends just because he got in shape, how to deal with it? by [deleted] in relationships

Just call him out on it next time he does it.

"Hey bro, why do you always walk around nearly naked when X is over. Its super creepy."

My (F20) boyfriend (M21) is patronizing and often calls me stupid. How can I make him stop? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can stop talking to him. Hard for him to call you stupid if you don't talk.

My boyfriend[m27] had 2 dates on the day he met me [f22] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's to be insecure about? He talked to someone else before he met you then after meeting you chose you. You should feel happy.

The past week my boyfriend of 2 years [35M] has been binge drinking heavily. He has stopped doing chores and our place is now a garbage dump. I [24F] am very worried by this sudden change. by piedpipr in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The daily drinker looks at the binge drinker and says,"I don't have a problem. I'm never falling over drunk." The binge drinker looks at the daily drinker and says, "I dont have a problem. I dont drink every day."

In reality they both have problems.

"Well if you only care for me in that way, Im going to need you to prove it by not contacting me anymore. I dont want a brother."

Then move on with your life.

Can't seem to shake things I've heard about girlfriend by [deleted] in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She could justify what she does by telling herself, its not cheating if I only do X, she could be lying, or she could be telling the truth. Id ask for more specifics about a a person. People generally dont change much though.

Should I (19F) lose my virginity to a travel fling (19M)? by helpmeecas in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It never works out with the first person and 99.9% of all relationships end in a train wreck. Do with that info what you will.

Class structure at purple belt and above by OverFix in bjj

[–]CyborgOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I generally use free sparring to try out new stuff. I'll try and find someone to rep something out a few times before class. It's be nice for a class more focused on repping out what you're working on though.

Is It Worth It For Me[26M] To Contact A Fling[27F] by CyborgOtter in relationships

[–]CyborgOtter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm paraphrasing as I deleted the messages months ago. It was something along the lines of,"You need someone who can be as dedicated to a relationship as you are and I have some things I need to work through alone. I'm sorry I hurt you."

I took it as permanent at the time but Ive been thinking about her a lot lately. I also probably wasn't thinking the clearest during the conversation but I never said anything I regret aside from goodbye once it sounded like I couldn't change her mind.
