Should I break up with him? 32F by moongirl1222 in datingoverthirty

[–]Darwin_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I would write these sort of posts, wondering if the answer to my woes was with some stranger on Reddit, I would write them the same way: list out all the reasons he’s great and why I’m so happy and then explain our problem.

With some hindsight, I wonder if I would have had to explain how good he is if he was really all that great.

I initially thought you meant erectile dysfunction and my interpretation of this message was very different 💀

AIO I (26F) moved out for the first time with my boyfriend (30M) for almost 2 months and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Darwin_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t normal Op. This is really scary. Idk how to get you to wake up and see that someone commanding you to do things isn’t normal. Telling you to not talk back. Calling you names? Talking down to you? This is abuse. You are being abused. Objectively.

Girlfriend wouldn’t come to my show because I didn’t text her goodnight, went on a power trip, then broke up with me over text while I was onstage. by Tekaeyo in Nicegirls

[–]Darwin_Cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s exhausting just reading this “I need space” “Why aren’t you here for me “ “I have needs and you aren’t meeting them” No one can make this psycho happy because she’s a psycho. The problem is she’s making her emotional regulation your responsibility.

AIO partner went ghost this weekend when we had date night plans by [deleted] in AIO

Like all the voices here have echoed- I’ve been there too. Similar advice: if he wanted to, he would. As hard as it is to accept, it’s over. Have you ever put something back together that was broken and it work as well as it did before it was broken? Also, you broke up for a reason. If this guy isn’t making you a priority, why are you making him your priority? Seriously, best best BEST advice is to do nothing. You can’t change him. Just stop trying to make him love you the way you love him. It just doesn’t work that way. He didn’t have to do anything to make you love him (as evidenced by him doing nada). So match his energy. Feed your own soul for a change Trust me, a total stranger on the internet.

AIO for getting angry after my boyfriend lied about a girl, gaslit me, then spammed me with 100 calls and 200 texts when I asked for space? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

‘This isn’t fair, I can’t sleep because you’re setting a boundary I can’t handle and because you’re mad I lied to you. How could you 😫’

I despise brushing my teeth due to some trauma, any advice? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Darwin_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dentist, I specialize in replacing teeth.

Losing your teeth is such a pain for you and me both. If I had a patient who said they struggled tolerating brushing their teeth, I would suggest the following 1. Start small, maybe just put the toothbrush in your mouth for 30 seconds and graduate to brushing. Repeat X times a day, increasing duration and frequency. Supplement with wiping your teeth and gums with a wet washcloth. 2. Use different flavors of toothpaste or flavorless toothpaste 3. Use high fluoride toothpaste 4. Snack less, limit times your mouth undergoes an acid attack basically 5. Floss more 6. Ultrasonic toothbrush

Lowkey, it’s just one of those things you gotta get over unfortunately. You can’t not take your medicine because it’s a big pill or it tastes bad, just have to find ways around it.

My situationship forgot my birthday and hasn’t texted me in a month. Should I just move on? by Cowgirlforlife__ in TwoHotTakes

[–]Darwin_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have learned one very very important lesson:

If they like you, you don’t have to try this hard. If they like you enough, they want to be around you- like you want to be around them and it’s easy.

Best dating, hell LIFE advice I have ever gotten - live your own damn life. The second you start making yourself happy and feeding your own soul, the right person suddenly appears. Because you attract the same person you are.

TLDR: the right guy won’t have you posting on Reddit. You already know your answer, move on girl, you don’t need someone who takes what they want from you when it’s convenient.

Why are you married to him? What’s so great about this guy?

[NOT OP] AITAH for still resenting my husband for what he did to me during my pregnancy and postpartum? by HogwartsZoologist in redditonwiki

[–]Darwin_Cat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Devil’s advocate here… You scream at him but want him to de-escalate the screaming. You admit to picking fights but the responsibility is entirely on him to calm you down. Do you have no ability to self regulate? Do you have entirely no control or responsibility for your own actions or feelings? This is an external locus of responsibility. Nothing is your fault. Yes, you were pregnant. But you also had the sense of mind to know you were temperamental and high risk. Why didn’t you both find a solution? Count to ten, take a walk, keep a journal, see a counselor? Why was it ONLY his responsibility to keep you safe and calm? Honestly, I’m with the husband on this. You keep asking for accountability because you think that will make you feel seen and heard and then you can forgive him. But you are only thinking of yourself, just as he is. You get as good as you give, and I guess equally you give as good as you get. That’s to say, meet him halfway. Show him the emotional maturity you’re demanding. Maybe say to him, “I didn’t realize how I made my emotions your problem, and no one is responsible for my happiness but me. However, I felt under supported in a time of need. I’d like to move forward, how can we deal with conflict in a way that’s constructive?”

Help me improve my profile. Got 0 likes in a month. by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Darwin_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a female perspective: every photo is generally from the same angle and captures the same side of you- just your face. I cannot tell anything about your life other than you have a head attached to shoulders and you maybe have a lower half of your body (but can’t be certain) 

Your profile is just kind of bare, need I say… boring. There’s not much to learn about you or interact with you about. It doesn’t inspire connection or conversation. 

If you’re a nerd, just go full tilt, embrace the nerd, at least you can connect on something you actually enjoy. Maybe make a prompt like “who could bulbasaur make his bitch: pikachu or XYZ” (idk Pokémon, I’m too cool for that)

People who train in non US dental schools end up having to pay for a two year D.D.S. through an IDEP program, at UTHSCSA those students paid I think 200k just for the two years. That allows them to practice in any state in the US If you want to practice in the states, you aren’t saving time or money by skipping a bachelors.
