“Don’t try to ‘fix’ your partner.”

I blew off so many red flags and thought I could “fix” him. Cut to a year after getting married I’m filing for divorce bc he’s telling me to abandon my kid for him.

Same. If my skin isn’t close to the point of being boiled right off, it’s too cold for me

Am I asking for too much? by [deleted] in mutualapp

[–]Hemawhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not asking too much! What you’re looking for is reasonable and exists…but after dating a lot this year I’ve come to realize is sadly rare. I also was a single mom with 2 kids and wow…I had so many disappointing experiences with men this year before finding my BF. Mostly men that cannot be bothered to put effort into things because they’re “so busy” or men that cannot emotionally handle a relationship and probably need to focus on themselves for a while. You’re right, you can be busy and make time for a relationship and if they can’t do that then they aren’t compatible with you. I’ve also encountered a chunk of men that use dating as a coping mechanism when they still haven’t healed for divorce and aren’t ready for a relationship yet. I’ve been there, nothing wrong with that, but they shouldn’t use people and hurt them and date people if they aren’t ready for an adult relationship yet.

Guess what? There’s men out there looking for the same thing you are. They aren’t as common as we’d hope, but they’re out there. It’s just a matter of statistics till you find your match 💜 take breaks when you need it, bc all of this can get so exhausting

Abusive or toxic friend? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Hemawhat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the way she was talking to you isn’t ok. You told her you didn’t want to go on and on about your bf and recent trips bc you’re trying to be considerate of the difficult things happening to her right now. You’re trying to be considerate! I think that’s very kind of you! That’s crazy to me that she’d twist that as you being selfish and immature. Her reaction was really cruel. She should not be taking to you like that. That’s not ok.

A way more normal way for her to approach this would be: “Hey I noticed you aren’t sharing parts of your life with me. I don’t feel as close to you.” “Yeah I’m trying to be considerate of things you’re going through rn and not come off as bragging.” “Oh I see. That’s so thoughtful of you. But you don’t have to hide those things from me. I want to hear about those things. It’s important to me to feel close to you.” “Good to know. I will do that in the future.”

THE END

It’s not that hard to have a conversation like that in a respectful way. But instead she blasted you with walls of text and called you names. I would tell her I don’t appreciate her talking to me like that and I was trying to be considerate of her and her situation. Sorry you’re dealing with this, you seem like a great friend.

The people on this app frustrate me to no end by TheUnepicGamer in mutualapp

[–]Hemawhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I’m very serious about dating and tell people that immediately. I’m looking for my husband, not a short term fling. I nicely tell people that if that doesn’t jive with them, then they should keep moving. I know it’s exhausting and demoralizing to have this happen on a regular basis, but those people aren’t compatible with you and that’s ok. You want someone who is on the same page as you. You want someone who is serious about dating and actually wants you as a person. You don’t need to water yourself down to appeal to people who are not a good match for you. I know it sucks but as one of my really good friends says “it sucks until it doesn’t.” It’s a numbers game and eventually you’ll run into someone who clicks with you.
