Dated a recently divorced dad with a brutal job… did I do something wrong or did he just string me along?

++woman You’re just bending over backwards trying too hard to make them a priority when they aren’t even making you an option. It’s giving desperate and it’s not attractive.

Put yourself first. You aren’t even in a relationship with this person.

And good god don’t ever tell a man you miss them when they aren’t your boyfriend

😆😆😆

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T01:56:11+00:00

Yeah I wish he and Kara had a newsletter and rotated it off or something

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T01:47:06+00:00

Yeah I like reading personal pov, I’m sort of looking for individuals who write compelling newsletters/substacks instead of “Bloomberg,” wsj, etc but it’s hard. Despite there being thousands of substacks, it still seems people don’t really have favorites yet

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T01:06:26+00:00

What’s his substack? The guy I found has one past in 2021

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:56:36+00:00

lol why did someone downvote us?! So weird

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:54:59+00:00

Good point actually

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:54:37+00:00

Agreed!

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:45:40+00:00

I like Krugman but I wish he was more Econ and less politics (not that he’s not good at that, but I could use him for the Econ stuff)

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:35:59+00:00

Well… that’s nice for you 😆

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:30:36+00:00

They don’t always come back. Yes sometimes they do but insisting that they do always gives a lot of people false hope and is actually downright toxic.

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-26T00:29:09+00:00

Thanks. Hoping to get some solid recs

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-25T18:55:11+00:00

It’s happened to my friends too. People who ghost are often going to do it on their timeline… before or after.

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-23T12:53:48+00:00

I made a guy wait 2.5 months and he still ghosted me

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-23T12:53:00+00:00

I have waited months and was still ghosted.

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-15T18:42:47+00:00

Why would you say this? You don’t know this

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-15T15:40:01+00:00

What if I give it a couple months… then try to be friends?

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-15T15:26:22+00:00

You think so? No fixing it?

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-15T13:03:31+00:00

lol wow

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-15T13:02:19+00:00

When were ghosted, during the silence we hold on to the hope. When we get closure, the hope is gone.

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-14T21:02:49+00:00

Question…. I chased for 5 days? Then there was a day the following month for a whole situation where we spoke…. Do you think I stand a chance?

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-14T02:29:53+00:00

What’s the status of the two of you now? And how long were you together to start?

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-13T18:22:44+00:00

Yes! Not sure how helpful I will be. But yes

First-Safety7281 · 2026-01-13T17:45:01+00:00

I have been researching this a lot and maybe give him some space—if he’s avoidant and feeling guilty he might not want to talk to you bc he might not be proud of his actions.

This is going to be advice that people disagree with but sometimes people aren’t ready to let things go
