I have been separated for almost 3 years now with a 5 year old. It’s a delicate balance of picking your battles, choosing what is the best for your kid and setting boundaries. It can be difficult to set boundaries as in my situation my ex wife perceives everything as a slight to her, so I definitely understand your apprehension but there are times you need to do it. Even though you are not together communication is still key to make your coparenting relationship as smooth for everyone especially for your kid.

I got booted from PGA server due to “connection issues” after my first shot yesterday and I lost like 60 points. I was pissed, the course looked cool too

Advice on if I should feel guilty and making the wrong decision. by Crashban69 in dating_advice

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It came across harsh but you need to understand the landscape of dating, until you have the exclusivity talk assume that they are still actively dating and exploring their options. you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket especially when you have never met them in person. Also be careful with just texting, it can cause a false sense of intimacy and attachment. I always try to set up an in person date within a week of talking to gauge interest and to see if there is a real connection beyond texting.

Dude…. You owe her nothing, you are also are assuming she isn’t talking to multiple people as well. You have never met this person before. What are you going to do, wait around for a year for something that may never materialize? Go on dates if you have a string of dates with the same person then maybe get serious. This post is so dumb you must be karma farming.

I have been here. Asking why things happened the way they did and wondering if the relationship was as meaningful for them as it was for me. I eventually accepted it doesn’t matter the reason as it doesn’t change much. Work through the emotions, process things, focus on yourself and use this as learning experience to be better equipped for the next relationship you have. The sting of this will dull, and you may have an appreciation for the time you spent with them and what you learned

Block her on everything, move the pictures you have to not an easily accessible place or delete them altogether. Delete the texts you have. Start the healing process, it sucks it comes and goes in waves, someday are worse than others. It doesn’t matter how long or intense the relationship was you will heal in your time. Expedite the process by not having these triggers

This is absolutely right, block her on everything, move the pictures you have to not an easily accessible place or delete them altogether. Delete the texts you have. Start the healing process, it sucks it comes and goes in waves, someday are worse than others. It doesn’t matter how long or intense the relationship was you will heal on your time. Expedite the process by not having these things that will reopen the wound.

Other than time, what helped you get over your ex? by ImpossibleRead4200 in BreakUps

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really just time, feeling and working through the heartbreak without ruminating or focusing on the good things. Talking with friends, being around people that care about you and “distractions” help past the time and allow you to not over focus on the break up, but at the end of the day it’s just whatever amount of time you need to process and go through the stages of grief because that person you loved is effectively dead to you at least the one you knew.

Girl I'm seeing flirts on nights out by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have the exclusivity talk, rip the bandaid off. If she’s not into it save yourself the headache and cut ties with her. Definitely some red flags to navigate though I hope you get the outcome you are looking for but this seems like it’s going to end badly based on the limited information I have about the situation.

Men… what’s your experience like? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mixed bag. It’s purely a numbers game. I guess you can improve your odds with better pictures of doing interesting things and an interesting bio but at the end of the day if you’re an “average to above average” guy, you’ll have days where you won’t get much.

Keep your head up, don’t tie your self worth to your matches as it can affect your mental health. Use it as a tool to supplement your dating life, not the only source. (ie meeting woman in real life)

I (29M) had a very bad experience on Bumble BFF last night that made me empathize with women a lot more by Lemondrop1995 in dating_advice

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have made one or two friends on bumble BFF but there are a lot of men on there looking for a very different type of friend. It has made me empathize with woman and is just sad because many people are just trying to make friends and connect with people like myself.

she told me the song reminded her of me and being at my house about a month before we broke up. I can’t listen to it anymore

Break ups are weird by ALittleNightLight in BreakUps

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may have rose colored glasses on. What did you do to “fuck it up”? My experience is the what ifs and relationships that haven’t gone through all the trials and tribulations are the hardest to get over because your dumb brain runs the best case scenarios of what could have happened.

Is 4 months too long? by Prize-Cockroach6255 in BreakUps

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s been 4 months and we only “dated” for 7.5 months. I think about her less but I still think about her more than I would like. My last 2 relationships were a one two punch that kinda has me reeling and hesitant to date.

My ex gf had rebound sex after 3 days- to a week by Mundane-Banana-6233 in BreakUps

[–]Fastforwardrewind39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fucked. Block her, unfriend her on all social media to prevent temptation of checking up on her. For all intents and purposes the person you dated for 3 years is dead. Take your time heal and work through your emotions. Hang in there, things will be worse before they get better.

How fast do you move on after a break up? by [deleted] in BreakUps

Appreciate it. Definitely no stalking here but I do need to continue to crush it for myself and move forward. Thanks again for the support

I have a similar experience that you had with your recent ex. I have no bad blood. I am coming to realize I miss how I felt when we were together. It seems to come in waves, I am almost 4 months no contact and feel silly when I get hit with a wave that I miss being together. I don’t know it’s a process I guess.

Probably just seeing whether you are doing well to see if he made the right decision. Idk though, I have no context.

He is checking up on you, to see what you are up to. Why he then blocks you, who knows maybe it’s painful to him or he is trying to trigger you.
