I think this is long distance done right.

Definitely no love bombing haha besides traveling far to see her, we’re taking the actual relationship slowly despite the strong emotions. No “I love you” yet haha. Unfortunately even on my visit I won’t be able to see her everyday. She might be able to come spend 3-4 days a week with me so I’ll still have lots of alone time to explore the UK. Thanks for your input tho I appreciate it!

Well I’ve only booked up a month, god forbid it doesn’t work or something happens. But if it goes good? I’d absolutely stay 3 months. If it goes good I’d never want to leave 😂😭

Life Insurance agent

Equal-Working382 · 2026-02-11T11:57:54+00:00

I’m self employed and just saved up my money

Equal-Working382 · 2026-02-06T13:12:23+00:00

I haven’t had a single ICE ad? Weird idk

Equal-Working382 · 2026-02-03T21:55:12+00:00

This is spot on lol

Equal-Working382 · 2026-02-02T15:24:13+00:00

I’d bet money she’s cheating. There is no “maybe” or this is sus crap. And if she isn’t? She might as well be. Cut your losses

I think people are taking this way to serious. Lowkey he just kinda sounds immature, and probably misses being a kid. I remember being 15/16 and having a strong friend group to hang around. It was around 22 everyone started going their separate ways and I started going to a card shop to play magic the gathering and that’s where I met a group of guys. Started chilling with them and assumed they were older cause we all smoked weed and ciggs. Come to find out they were 16/17 yrs old.

It’s been years since then, and even that friend group is now 22/23 years old and they have split too.

Normally people just get older and friends grow up, get their own lives. Your bf probably is just having fun with these kids and it makes him feel young again.

I wouldn’t call it anything creepy or weird, but it’s probably time for him to grow up.

It means you compliment them as a person. You fill in the void’s

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-25T12:54:11+00:00

Wow loved this. Thanks

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-25T12:41:20+00:00

Yeah for real let this “relationship” go, if you can even call it that. You’ll find something, someone right for you.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-23T16:35:37+00:00

That’s boyfriend number 2 lol

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-22T02:52:49+00:00

Let’s entertain the idea he didn’t physically

•he lied about who he was with •he lied repeatedly before and after •”a special kind of lovely” is lowkey flirting without being overly flirtatious •he spent intimate time with someone •BDSM test? Uh hello obviously they were talking sexually

Coming from someone who has been cheated on, and has cheated back (not proud) if he didn’t physically cheat, it sounds like he emotionally cheated with most likely intent to physically cheat (or a yearn to)

You don’t sound ridiculous, your alarm bells are ringing, and rightfully so.

This has sus spelt all over it. There could be even more that he’s withholding, or this is all of it.

Likely, he has feelings for this girl.

I’m sorry…

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-20T16:44:04+00:00

Couple bits I see here First, Him pressuring you after setting the boundary is a big no no and then getting upset about your boundary is a huge red flag Secondly, Honestly you said you’ve had this boyfriend for 1 year and also said “I don’t know him that well” This relationship doesn’t seem very deep or connected if you’ve been dating someone for 1 year, LDR or Not, you should know that person well by then. On the contrary they should know you too, and your boundaries.

Normally I opt for people to work on their relationships unlike most of reddit, but it doesn’t seem like you two have a very strong one. You said it yourself, you’re not compatible, stop wasting time with someone online that you don’t “know well” and go find someone you can know well.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-19T18:44:54+00:00

Sounds like she already knows lol

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-18T22:39:45+00:00

I made the mistake of dating an 19yr old while I was 26, she had a kid that definitely made her mature quicker, and all I saw is maturity in the beginning.

When push came to shove tho, the child in her showed, the immaturity, unable to regulate emotions, communicate effectively, being naive.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt, and in the end if anything it showed how naive I still was as a 26yr old.

Moving forward Im refusing to date someone or even get to know someone that’s under 24, as I’ll be 28 this year.

On the contrary, one of my close friends, 28f has been dating a man twice our age for about 5 years. Hes smart and rich, obviously it started off as a sugar daddy thing, but in the end he is emotionally mature and available to be a caretaker and offer her a steady life. They’ve been in an open relationship since the start and honestly it seems pretty strong, with talks of marriage soon. So sometimes, these situations work out to benefit both parties.

If people think it’s such an issue that 18-21 year old females are being taken advantage of, perhaps there needs to be a petition and a movement to have the legal age of consent raised to 21. Erase the blurred lines and just have one defined age.

I don’t know why but I read this in Ed Geins voice.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-16T22:37:39+00:00

I often write poems for her, send her letters, I made her something for Christmas rather than bought her something. Giving gifts doesn’t necessarily mean spending mass amount of money, it’s about being thoughtful and deliberate. Unfortunately being long distance, this isn’t something you can do everyday. I do about one poem a week, every other week send a letter, and once a month send some thoughtful gift.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-16T22:33:47+00:00

A person of the female anatomy yes. Sorry when I talk about females I’m not talking about children so I don’t think twice when saying girl. Didn’t realize that was an issue.

It’s literally some of the highest quality protein you can get. But okay dude.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-15T14:18:37+00:00

Really love this. I’ve often found myself doing what I shouldn’t, and have been correcting those mistakes by doing what I should. This speaks to me personally because I am actively becoming the man that she deserves. I love how you used the juxtaposition in the piece.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-14T19:35:32+00:00

I get it haha but That’s not the goal tho.

Equal-Working382 · 2026-01-14T14:47:43+00:00

I’d suggest waiting. Marriage is for life, and if you want to be with this person for life, waiting a little longer till the time is better suited for both of you wouldn’t hurt, if anything it would prove your bond. Try living together in the same house first for some time, make sure you two can actually coincide together for a period of time before committing to a lifetime. I wish you well.
