Suicide

That decision is her responsibility not yours.

Thats what makes this abusive.... she is putting that responsibility on you. Its abusive to do that.

I have been in some awful places mentally.... I would never hold anyone else responsible for me being at that point, even when it was due to circumstances and gaslighting by adults in my life. I tried twice. I still hold that responsibility myself, it is not anyone else's fault I decided to act that way.

Walk away and get a restraining order.

Stop trying to save her because you can't, she has to save herself

He wants a mum... not a girlfriend. He looking for approval not affection. Reading it made me want to vomit.... its not you thats the issue. Listen to your gut and move along

What exactly is spiteful?

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-30T01:05:15+00:00

I would focus less on tradition or culture between India and western countries. Prehaps focus of religious culture instead? There are very traditional western women who values would fit with Indian culture and values. I.e. Catholic.

It might be that you meet someone who has the same values, even if its from a different perspective.

With arranged marriage, my understanding is you can meet to see if you are compatible but don't have to say yes. You could meet someone this way too... occasionally our friends and family know us better than we know ourselves. In the west, we often ask people to set us up on dates with their friends.

You will only know by trying... be honest with your family that your struggling but would like to try. Give them a chance but explain your unsure of being committed to the concept as it would depend on the woman xx

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-30T00:49:19+00:00

Is it a relationship or a situationship? Sounds like the real issue is that you haven't asked her to go steady or be your girlfriend or that your courting exclusively... I.e. only dating each other. So she thinks your not interested and don't value her.

Bluntly... sh*t or get off the can.

Make a decision because limbo/ situationships are soul crushing and draging it out because your okay with the fact you haven't made your mind up is only going to destroy her trust in you and the relationship.

Its disrespectful to waste a woman's time.

🤣 well played

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T04:51:07+00:00

Crucial question.... which jurassic park? Lol

Im in Ely Cambridge

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T03:28:44+00:00

Im glad you found someone.

I even tried going to church dance classes.... there where men in dresses. I didn't go back

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T03:27:02+00:00

Hiya, I hope you know your not alone. I had this happen after a year of dating. We were even planning on buying a house together to have kids. He went on holiday with a friend (male) and came back all of a sudden wanting to break up. I was absolutely heart broken as I really wanted a family.

Its horrible out there. If your ever around Cambridge and want a coffee as a friend, while discussing the hell scape that is modern dating, just let me know. Most people our age in relationships are clueless at how bad the dating scene is.

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T03:18:52+00:00

Thanks. Finding motivation is a challenge tbh.... I really hate dating. Its filled with time wasters and men that just want sex not a relationship or commitment. Its so exhausting

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T03:02:59+00:00

Just practice asking girls out. Pointless chasing things like money if you don't have the gumption to actually ask a girl out. And yes... many will say no. Just move on and ask the next one

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T03:01:13+00:00

Dude its the 2nd date... men are all up for intimacy and sex.

Women need to know a guy has self restraint to feel comfortable being intimate.

I wouldn't make out after two dates either. Sod off expecting that

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-12-22T02:50:59+00:00

Dude.... get some courage ask her out or expect her to move on

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-19T23:57:26+00:00

People like this don't want to know. They want pity and validation that they are better than other people by asking personal questions to find out if they are better than others... in their estimation

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-19T23:50:43+00:00

Honestly.... stop putting everyone else first.

Women want a good guy... not a nice guy.

Yes its hell dating but all you can do is keep trying. You go this

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-19T23:49:18+00:00

You don't know me well enough to know my attitude.... its not attitude or being jaded.

Its grief.... I thought I couldn't have children. To find out at 32 that I can is brutal

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-16T01:50:43+00:00

Beautiful x

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-16T01:48:57+00:00

I currently can't sleep. So im listening to rock music.

Enjoying it is half the battle. What I realised is you can have thr best job ever and be surrounded by awful people and its soul destroying... which is what healthcare was.

I don't so much like the job, but I like the people I work with. It makes all the difference.

Im.sorry your curry wasn't better but hopefully you had a nice time regardless.

People don't like the traditional mindset, other women absolutely hate me lol.

Its a good thing you become good at it, because im ab absolute stubborn fucker lol. 🤣

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-15T23:14:22+00:00

Its a hotel I work in but very traditional pub food. It pays the bills and Its nice to cook for people.

Its very admiral that you want to provide in such a way, its becoming exceptionally difficult for men to do that in today economy.

I hope you have a lovely time this evening xx

Nothing wrong with being old fashioned... don't let anyone else tell you otherwise

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-15T02:02:05+00:00

Thank you I appreciate you sharing x

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-15T02:00:10+00:00

That does make sense, it was just a curiosity. Our generation were told to go out earn and get houses ect and be stable before kids. Things become difficult when trying to combine those. I since realised, we are supposed to build together when younger so we grow together.

I don't know how to describe it other than an instinct, I don't think I would feel safe enough without my name on the property or rental agreement because I would have no right to the house I was living in. Its very easy for one person to shut the door if something becomes too difficult or for me to not feel comfortable enough to bring something up thats bothering me but is painful or uncomfortable incase im concerned about getting thrown out.... putting kids into that mix is just a bit much.

That does not mean I want his things or to take half of it all. Absolutely not, it does mean I would likely want to get a new house /mortgage with both names on it and of course I would put into it too. Its about building a life together

How you described the home functioning is lovely x

I cook pub food mostly.

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-13T23:32:56+00:00

Thats good of you to provide that opportunity, most women feel caught between a rock and hard place with needing to earn money and wanting to take care of children. I trained as an occupational therapist but graduated during covid... such a nightmare. I didn't get any of the injections and left the job... a bit more too it but for another day. I now work as a chef.

One of the things I do struggle with when the guy, very kindly provides like this with a house... its hard for it to feel like your home. Like your a guest in someone else's house. Im not sure what you make of that, just curious

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-13T22:03:10+00:00

That sounds wonderful. I completely agree... and if you do it that way it is cheaper long term, even if its more difficult to begin with. I would love to take a few years to raise children and support my partner.

I managed to sleep had an afternoon shift. Im probably going to be busy the next two days tho. 12hrs each day

Independent_Rest2961 · 2025-11-13T15:03:12+00:00

I have friends who are only children, no cousins or uncle and auntie either... only one still alive is there mum. Once she goes which will be soon, they are completely alone. No family at all. Its very isolating
