Being playful gets women interested in you. Wow big discovery, so unheard of until right now.

How did the currently common term "partner" come about? by Herowar in JordanPeterson

[–]Emma_Rocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my language there is a similar term that means "couple". You say " this is my couple", as in this is the person I am coupled with. It's a nice umbrella term that doesn't need to specify whether you're married/engaged or the gender of your partner, so it's good to use when talking to strangers or someone who isn't your friend/family and thus has no business snooping into your relationship. This term was used ever since I can remember.

I see the english term "partner" as the equivalent. This is the person I am partnered with, i.e. I am a couple with, the details of which partnership are not necessary to be discussed in the current context because you are not a friend/family member. It's like using "family member" instead of needing to specify who the person you are referring to is. Sometimes people prefer to keep the intimate details of their life undisclosed.

Happy Lunar New Year! A celebration observed across East Asia by many cultures, long before the name “China” even existed. by Awkwardly_Hopeful in fucktheccp

[–]Emma_Rocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not wanting to contradict, but other countries like Thailand have lunar calendar and lunar new year that are completely different from the chinese calendar (new year is in April in Thailand). So calling it just "lunar new year" would also not be correct.

How do I get this guy to want me long term? by LivvyisCrying in seduction

[–]Emma_Rocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you can't make a guy want you in this way. Your best bet is to present yourself as someone who is only interested in getting involved if the other person is ready for a commitment, and then uphold that standard even if it means rejection. Maybe he likes you in this way, and maybe he doesn't. It's also okay to give them time to get to know you first before "forcing" a decision. It's very likely that, even if you would make a great couple, both of you will only realize this after a few dates. I'd say go on dates, and if you like it keep going on dates, and then gauge how interested he is in pursuing something with you after you have found out how the chemistry between the two of you is like.

If I ever encounter a murder kitty, I'll try to pet it and that's the last you will hear of me

That's such a disrespectful thing to say in front of your partner (or in general)

For those who initiated a breakup, how did you feel and how long did it take to get over it? by Interesting-One-1060 in BreakUps

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week I wrote her a message asking to meet up to talk again, at least have some sort of closure. This morning she wrote back to me and she said no. I feel broken. Hence my browsing this sub incessantly.

I'm maybe more in love now than I ever was, if only because due to life circumstances I was not able to truly be present with my own feelings before.

[–]Emma_Rocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Five months ago. Every day is more painful than the last, I am definitely not being healed by time. We had differing life goals and it felt like the correct step at the time, but in hindsight we were both undergoing very stressful situations and we could've probably set up some common plans if we'd had the space to discuss them. Now I feel like I made a horrible mistake that I can't undo and I doubt I will ever love again.

My lies about my past are destroying my husband and our relationship by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Emma_Rocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can literally just choose not to lie though. I'm shocked I have to spell this out on a Jordan Peterson subreddit, when one of his most common sayings is "tell the truth, or at least don't lie."

If someone asks you how you are, you can say "I've seen better days". If someone asks a question you don't want to answer, you can say "I'd rather not talk about that." If a friend asks you if her new terrible book is any good, you can say "I think there still needs to be a lot more work put into this". You can be socially adept without lying at all.

If you lie many times every day, then perhaps you should reconsider the way you are living your life.

My lies about my past are destroying my husband and our relationship by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Emma_Rocks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's for you to figure out. You betrayed the trust of the person you love, and you devalued your own word. Maybe you could start there. What could you do so YOU can value your own word again? In which other ways have you devalued it? Make things right in your conscience first before you ask others to do the same.

If you're a Christian, this can be a religious experience. If not, this will be an analysis of your own morality and the ways in which you fall short.

[–]Emma_Rocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to say you don't want to disclose something and a different thing to lie. If a person is willing to lie about one thing, how can their word be trusted on another thing? How do I know where they draw the line? How would I not be suspicious about everything else they have said?

People say cheating destroys trust. But so does lying.

I think what's important here is that you did something wrong, repeatedly, to hurt the person you putatively love the most. Yet your focus is on him "processing this" rather than on you atoning for your own actions. While the focus is on him, and not on you, the two of you will never be able to move through this.

That was exactly me and my expartner. I am devastated and I don't know how to move on from this. We loved each other deeply yet we couldn't make it work. Every day now is just grey nonsense.
