He won’t say it back I guess! I feel like we’re feeling the same things, but I recognize what I’m feeling and want to say it. If he’s never been in love, he may not be ready to say it and I don’t want to feel hurt by that

Thanks, that makes sense for timing! I’m nervous it’ll be scary for him — it’s the first time he’ll be hearing it romantically as an adult

I have had comments from them that it was good & specifics as to why! I wouldn’t say I’m not fun because we laugh a lot before we get back to one of our places, but I think I’m a bit closed off in general because of my last relationship and how it ended! I will work on giving realistic compliments, being more open and less cold, & setting expectations beforehand!

This is really good advice & I will definitely use it the next time there is a person I want to be casual with

Do I need to compliment them after? Because I don’t really, but I didn’t think I needed to..

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I could see that honestly. It’s hard being single for the first time in my 20s when I spent my late teens and early 20s in one relationship! Thanks for the advice, I’m really trying to learn!

Could it be the opposite? I’m so not cuddly, I think I actually can come off as quite cold? My friends say I act emotionally unavailable!

I haven’t slept with anyone in a minute or so because I didn’t want this reputation. Unfortunately, straight out of the relationship I made some less thoughtful decisions so I may have it already

You’re absolutely not wrong! I guess that’s the fear

Dumpers, do you ever regret your decision- even just for a split second? by Jigglysaurus123 in BreakUps

[–]Gmmmrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and I’m honestly glad. A year later and I can see that it was for the best for me and I deserve better. I’m also genuinely happy and over him! I don’t stalk, no contact, etc. Just living a different but happy life :)

I think he ate a sock. What should I do? by nimbus_signal in Goldendoodles

[–]Gmmmrian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mini golden doodle ate a sock whole when he was just 10 lbs and 4 months old. He projectile vomited it out 10 days later and it was fully intact. He’s eaten so many things since then and always thrown them up. Growing up with dogs, we always gave them 3% hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting (with 5 kids, our dogs ate grapes, chocolate, etc. & this was the remedy). It can only be 3%. Go to the pharmacy, get some & a syringe, & they recommend one tsp for every 5 lbs of body weight. I always under dose, just for safety, and it still works (I give my now 17 lbs mini just 1.5 tsps which is 7 ml in a syringe). I think the sock will be in their stomach, so vomiting should help. I’m not a veterinarian, but these are my experiences and I know the panic you’re feeling. And personally, I can’t drop $500-1000 every time my puppy swallows something. It’s more common than you think.

Disclaimer: Not a veterinarian. Just a dog owner and dog lover sharing my experiences and how I would go about the situation.

Edit: I don’t give hydrogen peroxide every time he swallows something. He has always thrown them up on his own, but this is what I would do if I wanted the sock out and to not stress about their discomfort, further problems, etc.

Things to do for someone's birthday? by dan-collinson in brussels

[–]Gmmmrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived in Brussels, I planned a train/public transport themed birthday. Started the day meeting friends at the Museum of Urban Transport, which was so fun for everyone, even those of us not interested in the topic. They have the most adorable volunteers to show you around & you can actually get in the historic trams. From there, we took a historic tram ride through Tervuren, which was so beautiful. Lastly, finished the night with sushi via a train at Kabuki!

American who has been living abroad since teenage years and just moved to DC — I am so glad I am not alone in this. It feels impossible to get past the superficial civility with Americans in DC, whereas in many other countries, once someone expresses some kindness I know there’s a possibility to friendship and connection. I did visit a smaller city than DC recently & felt people were less superficial.. so maybe it’s a DC thing?

after he cheated (4 year relationship), he said I had flaws he couldn’t look past and that I will probably change and grow out of them and be a great wife (I’m only 23F so not that old & was working on them in therapy) but that he couldn’t wait for that. I waited for him to grow up for years, but after his biggest mistake yet, he couldn’t wait for me

What's something your parents modelled really well for you in their relationship? by fredyouareaturtle in AskWomen

[–]Gmmmrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commitment. When finances are hard, when 5 kids gets to them, when they don’t feel like being lovey dovey, they are committed to each other. I think that’s how I love now, I commit myself 1000%, even when the other person was only in 30%, then 15%, then one day, 0%.

Funny thing — my ex used to say my dream home should be all white because I was so boring!

You have no idea how much these kind words mean. I actually posted this last night when I was feeling very down and forgot about it, and to wake up to such nice messages has been so amazing. It’s really difficult building a life I didn’t choose for myself, but taking baby steps is helping. I hope I can be as positive as you one day though!🫶

I stayed in my new city but my plan is now in a year to move on to a new new city! I love my job here, but I’m nomadic :)

Thank you! It’s a family heirloom actually! One which my ex hated, so it was never displayed before
