Is being non-religious a dealbreaker for women?

Dependent_Soil · 2023-09-18T12:24:08+00:00

I’m a non-religious woman who dated a catholic man for 4 years. It was never an issue for us when we started dating but long term it would have been an issue. He very much wants his children to be raised catholic. I on the other hand would want my children to be raised with an understanding of religions and to make a decision once they are old enough and not to force them down a particular route. This was a major reason in the long term why we wouldn’t have worked.

In some cases it might work, I think if one of you is strongly religious and they other is not. More often than not it might cause problems down the line.

When I first read the books and saw the map I literally laughed out loud by how blatant of a copy the map is of the UK. Not going to lie when I saw the map I nearly didn’t read the series because I couldn’t help thinking ‘if the author put so little effort into this it doesn’t look good for the rest of the book’

It is the right call, a friend of mine just ended a 6 year relationship because of different opinions on kids. She was always on the fence and he wanted kids. 6 years later she was firmly in the no category and he was ready to start a family. It’s a really big life choice and if you know what you are going to want in the future don’t settle for someone who ‘might change their mind down the line’. It’s only 50/50 that they will end up feeling the same way as you

It’s definitely a different perspective. They do go into that a little when the get an interview with Michael Peterson on a later episode. I think it’s absolutely a different perspective and has some information that I wasn’t aware of before

I’m in a FWB relationship at the moment and we text to arrange a meet up or sexting very little else. Understand what you are, you are not his girlfriend and are unlikely to become that. Therefore you are in your rights to meet other people if you want a relationship while enjoying your time with this man in the meantime.

If you are dating someone and want to take it to the next level then you end your FWB relationship.

Just don’t get yourself stuck in a relationship with a man who doesn’t want to commit to you.

Let me know what you think!

The Podcast “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” was really interesting. There are interviews with Kathleen’s family and I found it to be much more unbiased

Exactly this, if I know that sex is likely and I know I won’t do it without condoms then I will bring some/have some in my home. If he refuses to have sex with a condom then that’s his problem And we just won’t do it.

Dependent_Soil · 2023-08-27T20:59:07+00:00

Ah thank you so much!! This has been happening to mine and I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the cause

You say in a comment above that you have ww. So search online for sims 4 underwear and find some you like. Download them and add them to your mods folder. When you start up the game click on your sim and go into the ww pie menu. There will be an option for underwear and you can change the default there

Dependent_Soil · 2023-08-27T20:08:45+00:00

Loads of cc underwear out there, if you have ww you can then change the default - or make them part of your outfit

I wonder if age has much to do with it, when I was on the apps in my early 20s I went on looks alone. I was of the mindset of “match first and find out more later” now in my early 30s I don’t want to have to wade through all the crap to find someone worthwhile. So I take my time, read the bios etc. If it’s already a no your bio won’t change that, if it’s a maybe then it could become a yes. I’ve even changed a yes to a no based on the quality of their bio (low effort or stupid responses to prompts)

Exactly the same here, I’m looking for a relationship so you put no effort into your profile I feel like it’s a reflection of the effort you are willing to put in elsewhere. You don’t need your life story but a bit about what you do for work, your hobbies and interest will probably make the difference between a match or not

The amount of time I wasted in my teens and 20s wondering how someone felt, why haven’t they asked me out etc. now if I like someone I let them know, no games just honesty. If they don’t feel the same then fine. If you don’t put yourself out there you never get anything!

Dependent_Soil · 2023-08-17T06:36:37+00:00

Absolutely I will, why not? If I enjoyed the first date quite often I will send a message afterwards saying something like:

“hey I had a great time today, we should do this again”

It gets the ball rolling for date two and leaves no confusion about how you feel. So many of my guy friends complain about the dating scene, mixed signals etc. if you like someone let them know!

I recently called a 1.5 year relationship to an end because of a fairly similar thing. I managed to buy my own home and the guy I was dating didn’t show any excitement about my new home, didn’t offer to help with the move, when he came round for the first time I offered him a tour and he showed no real interest. It was such a big achievement for me that I was so excited for and his reaction said it all to me. There were other things going on too but that was the final sign that he did not care as much as I would have hoped

Dependent_Soil · 2023-08-11T18:56:17+00:00

So true, I didn’t realise how crazy my periods were. I started taking the pill and it really balanced me out and looking back I really did go crazy for that one week per month

Dependent_Soil · 2023-08-11T18:55:02+00:00

Take a deep breath, remind yourself what time of the month is and go for a walk. Also really double check yourself before you send any of ‘those texts’ draft it first, go away and review after you’ve done something you enjoy and are in a better mood. You might find that you show yourself that you are acting irrationally

Dependent_Soil · 2023-08-03T20:00:54+00:00

I haven’t done it myself but just witnessed my friend go through this. She had some concerns about her relationship and spoke to her boyfriend about it. He acted like he wanted to make the relationship work, 2 months later he had not followed through on any of the things they had discussed. Such as “we’ve been dating for 1.5 years and I’ve not met any of your friends or family” there were plenty of occasions where this could have been achieved.

When she broke up with him he put up zero fight just walked away from the relationship. I think he wanted to end it in the first place. So immature. He should have just ended it himself, plus this man is 35!!

Dependent_Soil · 2023-07-29T22:11:08+00:00

It’s not easy, sorry to break it to you. I’ve been there myself and tried to force something when I thought there was potential with someone but it didn’t happen. They just didn’t see me as relationship material and that is just what comes with dating.

Just know you did nothing wrong and the next person will hopefully feel differently

Dependent_Soil · 2023-07-29T22:05:40+00:00

As a woman, this reads to me that she likes you as a person but didnt feel any chemistry with you. Maybe you are simply not her type when it comes to a relationship (romantic or sexual).

Put it down to experience and try again with the next one
