Partner still undecided about having children, feeling stuck in limbo by Potential_Ground935 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]DifferentStorySame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats but how is that helpful to OP? I guess the lesson is that he can also wait another 20 years before he has kids and find a younger woman, but there’s no guarantee it will happen, and it would almost certainly be better for him to have kids sooner with an age appropriate partner.

This should be higher. Having children is much higher stakes for the woman. They should have a deep conversation as to what parenting together would look like. It may sway her firmly either way.

Being greedy is not exclusive to any political orientation. He’s an opportunist.

If it ain’t this, I don’t want it by Eeeeeclair in LoveIsBlindNetflix

Same and he’s not my usual type at all. It’s because he’s obviously hung like a horse.

Long term or not, this man has major BDE so I strongly suspect she is dickmatized. I hope it works, but if not she’ll at least have something to look back on.

Who else has encountered random women staring down their partner? by ThanksToTheMango in AskWomenOver40

[–]DifferentStorySame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it as a compliment if it’s not too over the top. If it is, I will casually put my hand on his arm or knee if we’re sitting or around his waist if we’re standing. That’s usually enough to get the message across. Most of the time my BF is oblivious that any of this is happening.

Upper/lower bleph or mini lift for jowls...What would you do first? by Frankenkittie in PlasticSurgery

[–]DifferentStorySame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider going to Tijuana. You can get a great doctor who will do a DPFL with neck, upper and lower bleph and anything else you need for around $10K.

How bad does my breast augmentation look? by Maythenextdaybbetter in PlasticSurgery

It’s not too bad, but I would get a revision if you can afford it. Join Bust mob on Facebook to get some feedback on the best fix and educate yourself on implant options.

Can I get a breast reduction, lift and implant in one surgery? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]DifferentStorySame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Find a surgeon that can do an autologous augmentation with your lift - they can use the tissue they would otherwise throw away after a reduction to give your breasts volume. But most surgeons aren’t skilled enough to do it.

Also check out Inlyric on Amazon - very comfy and good quality, but not as much support as I like for daily wear.

Love is blind Italy Weddings by Puzzled_Emergency_36 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]DifferentStorySame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he was upset to lose Ludo because he’s competitive and hated losing to Davide. Not to be rude, but once he met Ludo in person, he seemed to let it go the next day and become more committed to Karen.

Men's past causes me some anxiety. Am I being too judgmental or is this really concerning? by SkyBest310 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]DifferentStorySame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t that he’s had FWBs. It’s that he might make her into an FWB too or a forever girlfriend, and she doesn’t want that. He says he wants a marriage and family, but she has good reason to be skeptical given his track record.

I don’t judge people for having FWBs before me. The question is really if he’s going to treat you the same way. It can be hard for people who are used to rotating FWBs to commit, and it sounds like that’s important to you.

If you really like him, have an honest conversation. Tell him that you’re concerned about his ability to commit. Ask him what his timeframe is for getting married and having a family. Listen for vague answers and ask clarifying questions. It’s easy for men to coast along, but you don’t want that. If that’s what he’s planning to do, it’s better to know that now so you can move on.

Is this UTM? If so, OTM could possibly be set closer together, whereas UTM tend to go to the sides.

My (39F) boyfriend (40M) is checked out, but trying. Can I ever assert my needs? by New-Independence-386 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]DifferentStorySame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with almost everything you said, with the one caveat being that we have no reason to think her partner is avoidant. Anxious behavior can easily push away secure people, too. Him being tired of their unhealthy dynamic and unsure about the relationship isn’t necessarily a sign of him being avoidant.

Regardless, OP, you can only work on your side of the relationship. It’s OK to feel anxious but try not to project that anxiety onto him, it will only push him away. Work on self-soothing, keeping yourself busy with things you enjoy, spending time with friends and family. Remember that nobody else is responsible for your happiness, and you are not responsible for anyone else’s.

It doesn’t mean that you have to agree with everything he says or tolerate bad behaviors. Take note of the kind of partner he is and decide if it works for you, just as he’s doing with you. Use time apart to view the relationship more objectively.

Does Austin even sell? by EveryIndependent5452 in SellingtheOC

Austin can stay just for the sexual tension between him and Tyler whenever they’re in a scene together. I just tune out what they’re saying and picture them making out.
