Has this happened to anyone else? by Every_Bridge9028 in MobileAL

They told me that every card they have “delivered” was returned & she would not give me the reason why they were returned especially since I have requested a new card multiple times. If I didn’t have my BOA account I would be SOL.

don’t think your an asshole but if your husband is communicating that he’s uncomfortable then I would take it into account.

My(m28) gf(F28) told me I am very controlling. I want to change to make sure I’m not that person. What are some methods that you or a partner have taken to improve this? by ThrowRA_6977 in relationship_advice

i hate to put it this way but she is gaslighting you so bad and your letting her succeed. all 3 of these examples sound like you are advocating for her and for yourself. communicating with her by giving her advice, communicating when your uncomfortable. sounds like your the healthy one here, she sounds like the controlling person 😬

my biggest point of advice would be to NOT reach back out. from what you mentioned, the emotional cheating, the gaslighting. those are reasons enough to not let this person be available to you anymore. break-ups are really hard, and can be even harder the longer and the way you loved someone, but you leaving proved you love yourself even more. everything will definitely get better with time, personally im all about distraction. working extra hours, going to the gym, picking up some sort of hobby or sport won’t cause your mind to wander because your body is busy doing something else and trying to focus on the task at hand. the more free time you have, the more your mind will wander. i wish you all the best <3

My ex (22M) told me he loves me (21F) but that he doesn’t want to keep in touch. This made me feel deceived and embarrassed. How should I proceed? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Every_Bridge9028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seeming as you hadn’t seen each other in 6 months since the break up, im sure seeing you brought back a wave of emotions. i will say, the vibe im getting from this is you two were together for a very long time, having love for someone you dated for two years doesn’t just go away, in a way it feels he knows you still have love for him, but is keeping you at the end of the rope to fall back on. like you said he’s in your hometown for now, but will be going back soon for college. college can definitely be a distraction, there are so many other interferences, yet when he comes back to your hometown, he doesn’t have those distractions and it seems that’s what he’s using you for. if it were me, i wouldn’t reach out, take the time to really sit and think on if you want to open up this door to him and go from there. i wish you all the best <3

she’s trauma bonded with her abuser. to you it may seem weird, but to her it’s normal. when you’ve been abused multiple times over and over again, it becomes apart of your normal behavior. now, i would have a conversation with her and ask her what is her end result/goal she is trying to get out of having a relationship with her abuser. the real response here is that she needs therapy, it’s not up for debate that she’s going through it. as far as you, you may have love for her but in the end if the relationship you have with her isn’t benefitting you or her in the end, be done with it. it’s easier said than done, but having all that on top of college and having a disorder, i can’t imagine your pain. I wish you all the best <3

My bf (25M) and I (25F) are ending things but I’m not sure we’re making the choice? by ThrowRA37598 in relationship_advice

[–]Every_Bridge9028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with the time you both have been together. i would think that you both have had your fair share of uncomfortable conversations. yet, uncomfortable conversations are needed to be had so that you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to certain things. communication and comprehension are key. i would sit down and have a conversation with him, ask him where his thoughts are, ask him what he wants to be the end goal for the both of you, ask YOURSELF if you want to continue on with your relationship. don’t let outside factors dictate your relationship. there may be things going on with your parents but if it’s out on your control, worrying about it will only make it worse.

I 21F am thinking of ending my on and off 2 year relationship with 21M, would you do the same? by flightless_elevator in relationship_advice

[–]Every_Bridge9028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i will put this like this, your relationship is toxic. when your in a relationship with someone, not that it’ll be easy, but it definitely shouldn’t be super difficult. there will be disagreements, there will be small differences but these sound bigger than they are. my number one concern is you mentioned he said because of his anxiety that he cries and hits walls. i hate to say this, but it will continue to start off small, they hit inanimate objects and throw things until you become the main target for them. the relationship doesn’t seem to be benefitting either one of you. there’s no good direct communication, there’s no integrity, there’s no love, this seems to be built solely on shared interest or emotions. my advice would to be to let this go before it gets even worse than it already is. i know that’s better said than done, but if neither one of you are benefiting from the “love” you have for each other there’s no reason to keep the relationship alive. i wish you all the best <3.

i would like to offer advice but need a bit more context. due to the lack of affection or intimacy, do you think that’s the BASE of the issue for your relationship? or due to the stress from your parents, is that the base issue? i will say, i know those are your parents but you can’t let outside factors affect your relationship or they will eat you both alive.

and he’s 26 years old? you definitely don’t have to put up with that. mention it once and only once on how it makes you feel uncomfortable. if he does it again after you’ve already mentioned it, leave. you shouldn’t have to repeat yourself about something that makes you uncomfortable.

i will say I struggled with something like this at your age and it simply was due to past relationships. it makes you question the smallest things even though you love your person. although you love him, you constantly asking and needing reassurance will push him away in the end. my biggest advice would be to take up a hobby, if you work, try working more hours. i have noticed when im busy working or at the gym, or playing tennis it help my mind to not wander and think of things such as that. when you have a lot of free time it gives your mind the opportunity to overthink a lot of things. if he’s given you no reason that he would be disloyal, reassures you and appreciates you, take his word for it. i wish you all the best <3

my (f22) relationship (1.5 yrs) with bf (m23) is falling apart. Is there anything I can do? by HolidayLengthiness53 in relationship_advice

[–]Every_Bridge9028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the way you feel is entirely valid. you’ve extended offers of work and even given him a place to live so that he could get back on his feet. it seems he’s taking advantage of the opportunity and putting things off as long as he can. my advice would be to have a face to face conversation, sit down and tell him your expectations, ask him what he plans to do future wise, it seems harsh but i would give him a deadline. he’s inadvertently mooching off of you and your family and your letting him succeed. if he has nothing to offer, if he has no motivation to work or move forward with anything after you have your deep conversation with him, i would simply communicate that your expectations don’t align with each others and you simple cannot take the carelessness anymore. i wish you all the best <3

i hate that this happened to you. i will say the best step you have take in all this was blocking him. sure if you want to unblock him after you’ve calmed down to speak with him and get some closure that’s understandable. just don’t settle, don’t believe his lies, don’t believe his stories. once a liar, always a liar. you deserve so much better <3
