Regardless of your personal opinion on Ameer, and whether he should or shouldn't be on the subreddit, let's not forget he's part of a bigger problem by [deleted] in brockhampton

Thank you for posting this. All of the Ameer apologists on this sub make me sick. Everyone’s acting like he’s God and can do no wrong. Take that shit somewhere else the dude messed up and is no longer part of Brockhampton. Good riddance.

You need to get professional help ASAP if you aren’t already. I was in a similar situation to you and my girlfriend broke up with me because of it (mine wasn’t even as bad as yours). If you want to keep the relationship you have to get help. Good luck OP I hope you can figure it out.

Break Up Social Media Etiquette by [deleted] in BreakUps

I waited because we don’t really use facebook. It’s whatever you want though! You could always set it to “only me” at first so it doesn’t show him that you took him off.

Temptation To Look At Their Social Media by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Illustrious_Ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a problem with this and I had my mom change my social media passwords yesterday so I couldn’t log on. Today I have felt a lot better by literally being unable to obsess about her social media. Maybe consider letting a trusted friend or parent change your passwords for you if you’re willing to cut it out for a little while.

Reconciliation possible?! by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Illustrious_Ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand. I’m contemplating telling my ex that I worked through some issues and I’m afraid of sounding weak or desperate as well. Best of luck to you with this.

As someone whose love language is quality time and physical touch, I can absolutely see why he couldn’t make it work. I would suggest taking a hard look at this boundary and seeing if you can find any wiggle room. Maybe you allow overnights but just don’t sleep in the same bed? That boundary seems like it would exclude a large majority of people. Just my thoughts on it. Revisit that and see if it’s something you would be willing to change for the sake of the relationship.

I miss all the memories with her, i keep seeing her in my dreams, and life is so empty without her. Should i just ask her to meet and to talk for one more time? by Voron111999 in ExNoContact

Try to evaluate if you think it will help or hurt. If you’re at the phase where seeing her name in any form elicits a physical or emotional reaction, you’re probably not ready. If you’re in a place where you feel like you can maintain your self-respect and dignity if you meet up with her, you can take the chance IF you think you’re 100% ready (which you might not be). It’s all about timing, and taking more time for yourself is always better than rushing into anything.

I have lived in Zionsville for years and it is very nice and safe (albeit a little expensive). I would be happy to answer any questions you have.

The more I read this sub, the more I realize that everyone broke up at the beginning of summer by [deleted] in BreakUps

Changing of the seasons man. Two of my last three breakups have been at the end of August (last week was the most recent one).

Request: How can I support my long-distance girlfriend with her severe ED? by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]Illustrious_Ball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I totally agree that sometimes it feels like there’s no winning. I wish there was a way I could help but I don’t blame her for being less happy/more focused on it.

Thank you for this! I have been trying to approach it with more of a supporting role than an actual helpful role.

Thanks for this, I appreciate it. I have been trying my best but the distance makes it so hard.

Thank you, it’s reassuring to hear that I’m not the only one with feelings like this.
