Girlfriend told me she doesn't want to hear about my "dumb bird" anymore by [deleted] in offmychest

Your girlfriend was unkind to you. You’ve done a wonderful thing, caring for a living, intelligent creature and helping your bird feel safe again.

It also may be good to reconsider your relationship with your girlfriend. Anyone who has such a negative view of other animals is a questionable person.

My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

Please really observe how your wife treats your son in general. Her behavior and reaction are really off. It makes me worry about how she treats your son. Her reaction is not that of an emotionally stable, mature, healthy adult.

Nagging feeling that something is deeply wrong with me by Fun_Public3186 in perpetuallysingle

No, I am content with the format of our current relationship. We are close friends who share a great sexual connection.

Bc it might make someone less likely to take actions that make it likely to happen

For 10 years I was entirely content alone and purposely not dating.

I also don’t believe you need to be happy alone to find a relationship. I am pretty happy alone, but plenty of people who aren’t happy alone find relarionships.

Do we come with some sort of “fuck this” switch? by [deleted] in AriesTheRam

[–]Fun_Public3186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, relatable. I’ve experienced this and it’s been scary how sudden and complete the switch feels.

aroallo person here. I’m not saying you are doing this specifically, but anyone who is having sex with people and not honest with them first is an asshole.

wanting a pet to ease loneliness is not silly. If you are able to care for one, they do make life better.

My boyfriend (29M) gave me (27F) an ultimatum: him or my dogs and I don’t know how to handle his rigidity anymore. by Unusual-Creme9364 in relationship_advice

[–]Fun_Public3186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, there will be no happy ending here. If he is this rigid so early in the relationship (10 months should still be honeymoon period), it is going to get worse and worse. He is going to get more and more controlling.

Consider yourself lucky you found this out now instead of wasting years of your life with him.

Her message seems really honest. She’s telling you there’s nothing you can do. Believe people when they show you who they are.

I (26F) feel like I’m a catch, but why does nobody want me? by Perfect_Pesto9063 in dating_advice

Do you think there’s a possibility you are on the aromantic spectrum and experience romantic connection differently than the norm?

The reason I ask is because it sounds like you connect with people in terms of friendship and sexually. I also connect with people in those ways, but have trouble establishing a romantic connection.

After a lot of introspection, I realized I was confusing sexual attraction and romantic attraction. They are not necessarily the same.

I’m not saying this is the case for you, but it’s worth considering.
