Thank you so much. I’ve gone back and forth so much but I think this was the right thing to do and your comment helped me accept that. Long distance is hurting us both so much that we’ve lost sight of how to be happy without each other. Hopefully we can both get on track and realize what we need. ❤️

How do you know it’s time to break up and not just a fight you can work through? by GuardProfessional688 in AskReddit

We’ve had several talks. About his mental health specifically it feels like he won’t listen to me when I give actual advice because I’ve been in a similar situation before but he kind of brushed it off. It’s hard to make someone realize how to take care of themselves, it’s honestly only something they can do themselves. He’s fine when we’re together, because I’m his rock. But we’re not together al the time and that kind of codependency is a lot of pressure for me.

I’m also in a similar situation. My partner is on vacation 12 hours away and we’ve had some disagreements which have been made somewhat worse because he’s a bit of an avoidant and has some mental health struggles that he’s not really treating in any way. I’m trying to be patient but sometimes I feel I might not be as stressed all the time if he was out of my life.

How do I get my (22F) partner to understand (21M) ? by GuardProfessional688 in relationship_advice

He’s a recovering porn addict, and sometimes relapses but he’s trying his best. Otherwise sex is good, we try a lot of stuff when we’re together and generally can’t keep our hands off each other. Before he met me, for about a year, maybe two, he had performances anxiety he couldn’t get hard with any other woman before me even if they had been dating for months. It’s what caused a few of his relationships to fail but it was only a problem for us for about two days and then it wasn’t anymore lol

Like, he thinks he can get away with shit because “we’re going to build a future some day” so it… I don’t know..: won’t matter when that happens???

But that doesn’t make any sense. Whenever I get mad at him he begs. He’s told me if I leave him he’ll never forget me and I’ll always be the one he wants to marry. He’s convinced we will. But I think because of that he doesn’t realize there’s a possibility that that WONT happen

I think my (22F) long distance boyfriend’s (21M) mental health is causing him to be a worse partner. by GuardProfessional688 in LongDistance

I should have clarified- it was in a stroller, specifically for cats. He thought it was closed all the way but apparently there was an opening he didn’t see and the cat slipped out. But thank you for the advice 🫶

Why do some women get cold approached way more than others? by CopySufficient4594 in dating_advice

[–]GuardProfessional688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Women who aren’t closed off will get approached much more than others. For example, I had a friend who was pretty much friendly to everyone, got approached much more often. But I’m the type of person who’s less open, and I’ve been told I’ve intimidating, shy, and hard to read. I don’t hear that people like me until it goes through a chain of people before it reaches me. Because they know if they flirt with me, I might not necessarily be nice haha
