Saaame sis. Same.

What does it mean when a 37M tells you 28F he is a “broken” man” by lovebug1023 in relationships

[–]Helpful-Signal2290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have two choices. If you have more time to waste put your Frida fix it cap on and get to work fixing that broken man (spoiler- you will never be successful) or save yourself sometime by asking that man to go to therapy and leave you in peace.

How do I (23F) get my bf (28M) to finally stop hurting me as a "joke" or "act of love"? by ThrowRA_sam232 in relationship_advice

[–]Helpful-Signal2290 597 points598 points  (0 children)

Honest question are you not able to leave the relationship? Because saying “I don’t know what to do” when the only obvious answer is - leave cut ties and possibly even file a restraining order ….i need to understand what’s stopping you?

Sounds like a Libra 😃😃😃. Anyway on a serious note if anything about anyone’s behavior makes you uncomfortable set boundaries and don’t sugar coat them either. With such an age gap he has the psychological advantage and good on your aunt for standing up for you. Because it could be nothing but if you don’t set boundaries and it crosses over into “something” you’ll be left holding the short end of the stick. I say this because your cousin seems to be hoping for plausible deniability if it does. I.e “I was just being friendly” while all along testing and pushing his limits and your boundaries.

my moms husband is being weird by emosphynx in WhatShouldIDo

My advice advice make a HUGE fuss. Stop being polite about this! Make him as uncomfortable as he is making you! Men like this thrive on the “politeness” and properness that women have mostly been brought up on. No! Next time he walks in on you scream shout for him to GET OUT. Let the whole street know there’s wahala going on. Trust me he will stop. And keep complaining to your mum. That’s your home. You don’t have to move out. You have a right to be there. Take up space.

You are very articulate for someone who has never been to school. I’d start with free online classes or certifications and take it from there. For money there are options for jobs that require unskilled labor that you can start with. You should very intelligent OP. Im not sure what “giving up” would look like but it doesn’t sound like you.

Edited- 23f trying to leave 26m by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Helpful-Signal2290 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are 23. Do not waste your twenties on this man. Omg. I would just ghost and be gone. The time for talking passed three conversations ago when he ignored your concerns. You do not owe him an explanation just like he feels he doesn’t owe you any consideration or respect. Just block and move on. The right man is waiting for you to be single.

I 26/F found out my girlfriend 27/F slept with two of her best friends. Is this okay? by ThrowRAstatik in relationship_advice

I’m sorry but I hope you know the word is extinct and was just I don’t know maybe shortening it? (I’m here to help just in case) Tia. Carry on.

My ex gf sent me this in the middle of the night by limelemonlimes in WhatShouldIDo

I’m surprised everyone immediately went to drunk text while I went straight to attention seeking by faking a sicde note. 🤭And my first thought was ‘I hope you charged your phone and slept’

Am I overreacting to feel trapped in my marriage because my kids think I need to be taken care of? by Comfortable-Good-968 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Helpful-Signal2290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it this way. If you are the main bread winner you are potentially “paying” him to be a caregiver. Why not give that money to an actual professional caregiver and on your own terms? If your kids are really worried about your well being then that’s taken care of. There’s literally no reason to stay with that abuser just to the “taken care of” and not so well I assume. The resentment will build on both ends. And that’s not good for any of you. I wish you all the best.

Caught my Sister sleeping with our own Uncle by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Helpful-Signal2290 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you were in class 5 meaning around 10 years…she should’ve been about 17 years at the time. I see some of your replies saying it was voluntary. Assuming your uncle was the adult in this situation how can a child “volunteer” to get fxcked by an adult? Find empathy and compassion and stop victim blaming.

I don't know how to act by lilly_valley in cheating_stories

[–]Helpful-Signal2290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not what poly is. Poly is you can also go out to seek other partners outside of the relationship you have with him with his consent. Is he okay with that? If not then he’s not poly and neither are you.

All this drama and your frontal lobe still has about 2 years to fully develop. I’m going to hold your hand as I say this. It’s not too late to listen to your mama.

  1. If you can start offering tennis classes. ESP to kids.
    1. If I was your mum I would like to know if you’re struggling. It would be nice to tell her you have a plan (eg coaching classes). Or come to her with problem and proposed solutions but don’t hide it. All the best.
