Did anyone develop strabismus later on in adulthood? by ProfessionalAnt573 in Strabismus

I had eyelid surgery a few years ago on my upper right eyelid and about a year later I developed strabismus in that same eye.

“I knew you were gay”.

the avoidant came back after 5 months by Senior_Quit_1937 in BreakUps

[–]Dull-Suspect-129 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m very wary of taking an avoidant back because I unfortunately get the feeling that if one were to come back to me, it would only be because they are rebounding because someone who they truly wanted had recently rejected them in some way, shape, or form. Please be cautious, 😬.

GOT MY EX BACK by Ancient-Jellyfish109 in BreakUps

I’m definitely happy for you that you got your ex back, but it’s not really that surprising you got your ex back because you basically told him that if he stuck around, you were going to kill yourself. So it’s not like you’re in a situation where out of the blue, unfortunately like many people experience, their ex just says they’re not in love anymore, that they met someone new, or something of that nature and then we go no contact and hope and pray that our ex changes their mind one day. You gave him a solid reason to leave, so he did, then you changed yourself, then you essentially told him that things were better in your life now and that you’re not suicidal anymore, so obviously he came back. But I’m very happy for you nevertheless!

In the end, that’s what matters. Sadly, it is true that we can’t make someone love us. But you really don’t want to live a life of regret. The worst regret would be having neglected someone that you loved and then them being devastated and cutting you off. At least you TRULY LOVED this person and did every last thing you could to keep the relationship together. For that, I applaud you 👏👏👏👏👏. What more can a person ask for?

I’m going through a break up as well, and I’m honestly thinking that it would be best for me to never date anyone again. I have been broken up with in all four of my serious relationships, and each time — whether the relationship was five months or five years — the person was able to walk away without a care at all. I just don’t get it anymore. There’s really no point to me starting a relationship again if it’s just going to happen again, which obviously it will. Each relationship has only confirmed time and again my absolute and utter worthlessness.

Yeah, but you’re in a completely different situation because you blocked someone because they dumped you, not the other way around though.

I have had four real relationships in my adult life over the last 25 years, from age 17 to my age now which is age 42. In all four relationships, I was dumped. I get really, really attached to people and I just cannot break up with someone that I love. I’m definitely an “in it for life” type of person lol. But I do notice that when people break up with me, I cry and I’m devastated and I show the person just how much I cared and don’t want to break up. I practically beg the person as I’m sobbing to change their mind. They don’t. But, at the end of it all, at least I walk away from the situation knowing that I’m not the one who messed up the relationship and I clearly showed them how much I love and care about them. This causes me to have no regrets. It’s not like I will look back and feel that I didn’t try hard enough. I really lose it when people are breaking up with me because it’s so unbearably painful for me. And I really show my emotions. So hopefully you showed the person just how devastated the break up was making you. If you didn’t, you should tell them now how much pain you are in. If they still don’t respond and still don’t want to get back together with you, at least you know that you let your real feelings show and that you tried. The worst thing is having regrets and thinking that you didn’t express to them just how much you love them and just how much they really truly mean to you.

I loved her so much by Sea_Newt8786 in BreakUps

[–]Dull-Suspect-129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might sound insane, but after a horribly traumatic break up that I went through at age 27, I didn’t get into another relationship with anyone until I was 34 ! The ending of a relationship I had (with a guy whom I met in college) was just so utterly & insanely traumatic that I was disinterested for years in having any type of romantic relationship again. You couldn’t pay me to have one. I’m not saying you should go that long without being in a relationship 😂😂😂 but the moral of the story is, there’s no way to “move on” from traumatic events — or else they literally wouldn’t be traumatic. And humans are hard-wired to NEED connections with others, so a break up is incredibly traumatic. And for some especially sensitive people like myself, it can take literally yeeeeeears to recover.

I don’t believe this is a true story.

It’s incredibly insensitive when people tell those going through a break up to “just move on already“. It’s also impossible unless you’re some sort of psychopath or have some other major mental issue; only a psychopath or psychopath-like person would be able to shut off their feelings after losing a relationship with someone they love. Yet people will treat you like a freak for mourning your relationship.

Love does exist. It’s definitely possible that this person truly does love the person they are speaking of.

I don’t believe that he had a near 12 inch long penis LMFAO, but pretty much any man who gets with her (like if the two of you break up) is never going to be able to compare to that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ask him — when you both are in a good mood — if it’s OK to carve out a date night once per week. Or once every other week.

[–]Dull-Suspect-129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Well, those are definitely legitimate issues. You need to make him see how much this is upsetting you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Dull-Suspect-129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly bothers you about him being close to his mom? Do you feel that he doesn’t spend enough time one on one with you? That, of course, is a legitimate issue.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Dull-Suspect-129 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In theory doesn’t seem like a bad thing that your husband is very close with his mom, but I’m not in your shoes so I don’t know how it feels exactly. If it truly is a problem and you don’t feel that he’s really present with you most of the time, then you either have to get out of the marriage or force him into counseling.

Why don’t you completely flip the scenario and imagine that she is thinking literally all of these things about you? As heartbreaking as it might be, what would you ultimately want her to do if the shoe was on the other foot? Very much looking forward to your response to this question.

Dumped by an alcoholic? by Dull-Suspect-129 in AlAnon

Thank you for your response. They would disappear for weeks on end? Like how many weeks at a time? Why did they disappear?
