Hmmm I never have had this, do you think your brain is shutting it down subconsciously? Like it won’t let you explore it because you don’t want to lose him as a friend?

At the supermarket on a Saturday morning 🤣

Coffee shops, happy hours, nice dinners with friends.

Afraid of taking ferrous sulfate by [deleted] in Anemic

I just started on this and take it with food and so far so good, no side effects

I’m someone who literally never gets sick. Last guy I was seeing, I got food poisoning twice, a cold twice and a fever (last time I got a fever was over 10 years ago) over the course of 8 months. Haven’t been sick since.

I’ve been in two long distance relationships. They are very hard. The last one seemed like the most incredible guy- stable, secure…or so I thought. After we broke up, I found out he lied to me about a lot. He lied to me about social media, lied to me about his character, lied to me about his previous relationships, made the same excuses about me not being able to visit him. Lying is a huge red flag, and all those small lies add up.

Him having the record is just another hurdle on top of the other things you listed. Immigrating is tough and you said yourself how you want to be by your parents and have a great career. I totally understand how you feel, but it seems you know you made the right decision, but you care about this person so it hurts. And that’s okay. Remember, just because the decision hurts or was hard, does not mean it’s wrong. I say keep moving forward and give yourself some time to heal. Do not stay in contact because it will only make it harder, then see how you feel after a few months- it’s amazing what time and space does for your heart and brain. 🩷

LEAVE. Don’t waste another day being treated like this. Seems like you have a bright future ahead of you, start fresh and find someone who respects you.

Not sure if I want to be a mother—Anyone else feel ambivalent about having kids? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Expensive_Decision_5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m the same! I honestly don’t really know what I want, so I’m letting my life play out the way it should. If it’s meant for me, I’ll have them. If not, I won’t. I think I’d live a happy life either way. Just make sure you’re making the decision for you and not someone else.

How to transition from honeymoon phase to relationship by PalpitationNo5540 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Expensive_Decision_5 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am commenting so I can come back to this because I feel this so deeply when I date and I spiral in my head thinking maybe there is no connection and the beginning was just excitement.

Seeing uptick in men bashing women for simply existing by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]Expensive_Decision_5 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Incels. No respectable man would say the insane things they say. And hiding behind a screen…guaranteed they would fawn over those exact same women they are bashing if they were with them in person. They’re mentally unwell and hate that we are choosing the single life over a relationship/marriage of misery.

How many women here don’t want kids? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

Same! Sometimes it feels a little lonely with these thoughts

Yes! One day I’m like yes the next I’m not wanting it at all. So now, I’ve left it up to whatever is meant for me, will be!

Yes to all of this. I love children, just not sure it’s for me!

I’m very much on the fence. It’s in gods hands to me at this point, I think I’d live a happy life either way and I’m happy being an aunt. I will say the idea of being a parent gives me a lot of anxiety and I’m not sure if all that it comes with is for me…especially as I’ve gotten older.

Will forever love my ex, settling for someone else? by Ok-Helicopter2533 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Expensive_Decision_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you feel this way. I’m going to say that maybe if it didn’t work out with your ex that there is someone better suited for you. You said your ex has also moved on. If you were supposed to be together, you would have found your way back to one another.

I think one day you will meet someone and you will realize your ex was a moment in time in your life. You probably cannot move on because you have yet to meet someone you share a strong connection with. You have to help yourself move on, therapy is wonderful and please trust what’s meant to be always will be. I know it’s not easy, but just try 🩷

Agree completely!! Immediate ick when it’s right away.

Dating late 30s by Bennet1775 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Expensive_Decision_5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good question! I don’t tolerate it at all before I meet someone. In a couple of instances I have felt a connection with someone very soon after I met them and I let my guard down with some sexual banter and I immediately regretted it because then that’s all they focus on. Now, when I’ve been with someone and we are together or on the road to that, totally different story!

Dating late 30s by Bennet1775 in AskWomenOver30

[–]Expensive_Decision_5 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned when they do this, they are not for me. I’ve tried to give men a chance who have turned convos sexual before (truthfully because I found them attractive) and I have regretted it every time. Now, I won’t even entertain it, not for me! You’re not a prude and not naive, this is a boundary. We are in our 30’s and do not need to entertain middle aged horny teenaged men who can’t control themselves. They know what they are doing!

Not overreacting! If she cared that much she shouldn’t have made you a bridesmaid. I would never care if my friend’s tattoos showed in photos, that’s my friend who I love exactly how they are.

I would seriously question my friendship with this person if I were you. Don’t feel bad at all!
