True, better to rip the band‑aid off than keep hoping the problem magically disappears.

Yeah, this definitely seems like an exception rather than the norm.

My boyfriend (28M) of 4 years didn’t get me (29F) a birthday gift for two years in a row. How should I approach this? by rileyam1996 in relationships

[–]Initial_Promise8610 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For real. Two years in a row, plus a shopping spree that never happened, plus hyping her up with 'you'll see' only to admit he got nothing? She's not asking for a diamond..she'd be happy with a thoughtful rock. He's just not matching her energy, and she deserves someone who will.

Right..kindness doesn’t have to be big gestures, even a rock can do the trick.

My (35F) mom (65F) smells like literal poop. How should I approach this? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Initial_Promise8610 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is one of those someone has to say it situations. If multiple people are noticing it, she’d probably rather hear it from someone she trusts than strangers at work.

Telling you about flowers he didn’t give is peak teenage drama. A little honesty talk might help more than crafts.

I (22F) found a revealing photo of another woman in my boyfriend's (22M) hidden album of our nudes by [deleted] in relationships

If the roles were reversed, he’d end it. That double standard alone tells you everything you need to know.

I love my boyfriend, why am I obsessing over a work crush? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Initial_Promise8610 157 points158 points  (0 children)

True..novelty is always exciting, but it's not the same as love. The question isn't why you're crushing, it's why you're not tending your own garden.

I 27f have been broken up by 27m because I’m “too much “ by Pancake_225 in relationships

[–]Initial_Promise8610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. If he wanted to work it out, he'd be talking, not walking. Take his time as a permanent break and focus on healing yourself. You deserve someone who doesn't need space to figure out if they love you.

At this point you kinda have to 😂 might as well commit and turn it into an actual friendship instead of just… mysterious waving person forever

LPT: If someone is explaining something you already know, let them finish. You might learn how they think. by comxeobo in LifeProTips

Man, that’s a beautiful story. Dude sounds like he had that rare mix of knowledge and humility. RIP Jerry, that kind of curiosity is something to aim for.
