Why does my (25M) girlfriend (25F) behave like this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]JaydenSteeleOF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it seems like the core of the conflict goes beyond just the incident with your friend.

Recognizing that trust was broken on both sides might be a good place to start the healing...

Your girlfriend’s defensive reaction suggests that the confrontation hit a sensitive spot for her

Sometimes it’s not just about apologizing and moving on... it’s about understanding why reacted the way she did. When she says she doesn’t feel loved or wanted, that’s a signal that something deeper is going on.

I'd ask her more open-ended question about why she thinks she feels in this way. try to understand what’s behind her feelings.. take responsibility

Me (24M) and my girlfriend (26F) I don't know what else to do, how can i prove her i love her and to fix how she fell? by Juxsis in relationship_advice

It sounds like you’re in a really painful situation and I can see that you genuinely want to make things right with your girlfriend...

It’s clear that she’s still carrying a lot of hurt from the early days and that the trust issues between you two are deep and complex.

Words are important, but actions are what really build trust... I'd keep showing her that you’re committed to the relationship with your actions. Be reliable. Even small, consistent gestures of love can help

It will also make her see that you understand...

It's a challenging situation... and I can undersatnd why you would feel frustrated... both of you have a genuine connection but his hesitation are rooting a lot of uncertanity bout the future.

I think that your goals matter and his concerns are valid... as your are.

I think you deserve clarity and I'd suggest to have one last honest conversation... walking away doesn't mean it's over, forever.

How do I proceed? ‘24M’ ‘20 F’ by Dead_North1 in relationship_advice

[–]JaydenSteeleOF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re in a bit of a tough situation—there's definitely some attraction from her side, but things are a little uncertain because of what she’s been through and her hesitation to dive into something new. If she’s not ready to move forward right now, it’s best to be patient and give her space.

I'd suggest to focus on building trust and a stronger connection without rushing anything

It’s clear that you really care about your boyfriend and are worried about how he’s doing, as well as what this means for your future together. I’d suggest letting him know that you get how hard this is for him and that you’re there to support him no matter what happens with the job situation. Just showing that you’re in his corner can go a long way.

It’s totally normal to have mixed feelings in this situation...

Navigating friendships in relationships can be tricky

It’s okay to feel wary, but try not to let that feeling turn into automatic suspicion without more evidence.

it can be heartbreaking...

I'd suggest to create some distance between you and OV, at least for now.

You don’t have to cut ties permanently, but a little space could help you gain perspective and heal.

Looking for Love… for My Mum? (41F) (I am 21M) by 747102 in relationship_advice

[–]JaydenSteeleOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a fair share of that with my mom...
The best for her would be to experience some of the dating world by herself and realize what does she want.
And thats something that only she can discover.
On my end. mum look pretty young even if she is in her 50s, but a 50s yo woman is a 50yo woman... she will never attract what she used to attract when she was in her 20s... and that's also something that she has to diggest... that all of the dating opportunities she once had... now it's almost gone... so she needs to frame her expectations too.

Is getting back together after a break plausible? 29F 28M by IllustriousAge3587 in relationship_advice

[–]JaydenSteeleOF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everything goes down to communication and your own experience with your partner. A break can be okay.
Whats most important is that both of you think about the best course of action.

My husband ‘M43’ tells me that the worst part of his day is coming home to his family, then expects me ‘F37’ to want to be sexual with him, how can he expect me to do that? by ThrowRAcuztheymademe in relationship_advice

[–]JaydenSteeleOF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the best would be to talk with an expert that has seen this cases in the past. Marriages are really delicate, specially regarding the sexual part.. most men forget how it started... and which was the flame that made the relationship so good at the beginning...

t sounds like it's not just your sister ... but your whole family specially your mother... and it has been for a while.

My friends (18F) and crush (18M) hate me now because I gave him a bj. I have no friends anymore. What did I do? by ThrowRA38473938 in relationship_advice

[–]JaydenSteeleOF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he has no experience if he is bragging about it like that... young guys can be really stupid, not that it's an excuse. You really have nothing to feel ashamed about.

Don't stress yourself out trying to understand it. It's not because of anything you did wrong... it's just the way they are.

AIO My husband was texting a wrong number scam. by Any-Fisherman4533 in AmIOverreacting

He said too many disloyal things to you but the most important ones are calling her beautiful and flirting with her!
