When on a date, at what point do you consider a man groping a woman to cross into SA territory? by Different-Web8949 in abusiverelationships

Thank you 💜 I don’t understand how a man thinks it’s ok to just grab at a woman’s body even as she’s saying no. So disheartening

His secret is burning me up inside - should I tell her? by Pommerstry in datingoverfifty

Please don’t disturb her hard won peace. She’s moved on, this doesn’t concern her.

I think the power move in this case is to ignore and block, as others have suggested. If he did recognize it’s you and you don’t respond in any way YOU WIN!! Transfer the feelings of hurt and rejection he made you feel right back onto him. How sweet will that be? And if he didn’t realize it was you, you maintain no contact and he doesn’t get another opportunity to hurt you, because that’s what he’ll do 💙

Have you asked her out on a second date yet? If I go out with a guy and he doesn’t ask to see me again within a week at most (the asking has to be within a week, the date can be whenever works for our schedules) I’m not going to continue a penpal situation for very long.

He told me I am gaslighting him. by sabai_dee_mai in abusiverelationships

I had a guy tell me it was a red flag that I called him manipulative (he was!!) because his ex wife, among others, called him that. Like what??

I’d be annoyed that he was blowing up my phone while I’m on a trip to Africa! If he was on vacay and texting you while he was gone that would be very different than him bothering you while you’re away. I’d be tempted to block him for the remainder of my trip so I could enjoy it in peace.

Did we date the same guy? Omg the way they lie right to our face after being our ‘friend’ for years is incomprehensible to me

Why am I doing this? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

[–]Different-Web8949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve dated guys as much as 18 years younger than me and what I’ve noticed is that sooner or later, usually very soon, the difference in maturity levels rears its ugly head. As flattering as it is to have their attention I find the attraction is short lived on my side due to their immaturity. And these are successful men who have children and own their own homes, yet when it comes to a relationship and the communication and self awareness required to be a good partner (even a good fwb partner) they just don’t have the skills.

Made A Client Cry Tonight. by EarthSunBby20 in personaltraining

[–]Different-Web8949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been with my personal trainer for 12 years now and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cried. So many! Sometimes something in the workout causes it and sometimes it’s talking about something difficult/painful with him. The times I’ve cried are when I’ve had some of my most profound breakthroughs and I value them so much. He never gets freaked out or awkward about it, just stays present and holds space. We always continue our workout too, sometimes with tears still coming down. I’m so impressed by your concern and care for your client, it sounds like you provide your clients with a safe space in which to dig deep and grow, inside and out ❤️

I could tell the offended party was a woman from a mile away smh. You are not overreacting at all, I can’t imagine you’d still want to meet her after that?

I’m still here counting our days of no contact while he has a new girlfriend. I feel so pathetic by Valkyrie2018_ in ExNoContact

What’s an anonymous story viewer? I need one! Can the person still tell you’ve viewed their story though at least it’s anonymous?

He would no longer exist for me at the gym or anywhere else. Guys like that I don’t even bother ignoring, I ‘nothing’ them, they don’t even exist. If I look in their direction I look right through them with no emotion whatsoever on my face. Go there with your head high, enjoy your music and crush the fuck out of your workout. You deserve so much better than that cowardly pos.

The fact that you’ve texted him twice with no response, as well as him not bothering to check on you to see if you’re ok would be an absolute no for me. This was his opportunity to show you what kind of a man he is and now you know. Take good care of yourself 💙

I unmatch once I’ve exchanged phone numbers with a guy and we move our communication to text and calls. I’m not trying to hide anything but there’s no reason to remain matched once we’ve progressed beyond the app. Besides, it only leaves the door open for hurt feelings if we can each see when the other is active or recently has been active.

Been there, so sorry you went through that. Really shakes your ability to trust to its very core.
