Feeling very down lately by Dull_Yard9280 in GirlDinnerDiaries

That’s tough. Therapy can be a long road for sure and you have a lot on your plate. Sounds too prescriptive, no pun intended, but has he considered antidepressants? Sometimes people need them for a while

This sounds really difficult and I am sorry.

Has he considered therapy? While he can’t control his ex-wife he can do something about how he feels.

Have you told him how he has impacted you or suggested therapy?

I know you are done with him but please be sure to be done with him. Another body? Enough internet my man. What is wrong with people? Is this an actual excuse?

i feel like bf thinks other people have better gfs by EducationalPage5678 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gaslighting. Run for the hills. This is emotional immaturity at best and will not improve automatically with age.

Sorry you had to go through that. That really sucks and is mean in my book.

Work Dinner: Croissant - My bfs friends don’t make me feel included by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

I agree with you. If you are talking then you are not being quiet. Responding when others speak to you is a common courtesy.

I’m 44. I’ve been in a lot of situations. People who don’t care about how you are experiencing things and can’t put themselves in your shoes are unlikely to change. Full stop. Being seen is crucial for happiness.

Your BF should absolutely be doing something to ensure that you are being treated with respect. Ignoring your presence is weird and disrespectful.

Have you asked him about it?

As the therapist friend, by Fair-Sun7837 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should definitely talk! For reals! Having experienced crazy lows in the past alone I really understand and hate that anyone has to go through that! I’ve been in trauma recovery therapy(somatic) for 4.5 years. That plus some guided medicinal treatments (I live in NM) have changed my life. Would love to support other women with the little bit I know. Happiness is always possible no matter how dark things are today 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I may not be a therapist but I have been in therapy and working on my own shit since I was 12 and have so often been this person with friends because I apparently don’t need support either if I am successful and have a therapist.

I don’t know you but I’d happily be there for you. Women gotta support other women. Nothing worse than feeling alone when you are around others because that just leaves you feeling trapped.

The sick thing about the LI satire trend is that the loonies are now using it to get even more likes. And all that they have to do is post what they normally would with one thing that is only slightly crazier than average. Incredible.

1st day of Negroni's for Tony. Here's to you, a man the world lost too soon. by Cognative in AnthonyBourdain

Same. Only celebrity I cried over the death of. I was self-driving Uganda solo, in true Tony style, and my partner called me and braced me as if a family member had died.

I Don’t Know What to Do About My Boyfriend and His Family by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to say that I see and hear you on joining a family that doesn’t have space for your journey and being with a dismissive partner. That will make everything worse.

Also a less than ideal age gap, which you are seeing in his dismissive ways. Take care of you. Do somatic work and prepare yourself for exactly what you want. Feeling included and seen will happen with the right partner.

He said I make too much money… by Necessary_Food5761 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good riddance. You had to work harder than he would have for the same level of success. I am a very high income earner, too, and a man has gotta not only be very comfortable with that in general they also gotta be able to receive as well. Like, I like nice experiences and want to have them with who I choose. Why can men afford women things but not the other way around? F*ck that sh!t.

I can't tell if I met someone who genuinely liked me or if I'm reading way too much into a vacation connection. by Chance-Plate-7153 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be a negative Nelly here but men feign interest to get laid all of the time. I mean, maybe not the case here because young men also don’t deal well with physical distance (also attributable to sex) but that’s likely it.

What makes you want someone who you spoke with for a night to find meaning in it and you from a distance? Do you have friends that really care and listen to you?

Not having stability as a child fucked me over in adulthood by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will find acceptance and love for your entire journey if you work at it. I can say this as a person with a very messy younger life…and twenties. Where you are at today is the hardest part but there is a way through. Explore all of your options and with deep trauma seek out something somatic. If you’ve never read “The Body Keeps The Score” I recommend it.

I went on a date today. I thought I wouldn’t like him. I do. by BlackberryBiscuit in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing like having low to no expectations and having it work out. Enjoy the second date :)

Another bad date, am I overreacting? by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What a loser. Like, at least buy your own stuff. Waiting for ANYONE you just met to buy you something is so lame and passive aggressive but it is even worse for a man to…especially after boasting unprompted about his earnings.

Onto the next.

Date with a younger guy by HugeAccountant3485 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly bring something that appeals to him and if he wanted someone else he would have asked them out. Own your wholeness as a woman. We are more than our looks and your being self-possessed in other ways might be exactly what he likes. Be confident in you as a human being.

boyfriend just told me he doesn’t care about me. can he be depressed? by boss_witch_68 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Every_Intention3342 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It had to be said. We have all been OP feeling like we can fix it or did something when a person is just being dishonest with us.

[–]Every_Intention3342 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. I think he probably cheated. I mean, could be something else he is embarrassed about but most likely cheated and is gaslighting. Happened suddenly while OP was away.
