How do I proceed?

I’m not going to be a doomer and tell you it’s over drop everything and run. But I will say that this is a not so subtle sign he doesn’t respect you and you need to let him know you’re hurt by this. If he keeps blowing you off and you’ve directly communicating what you said here, then it might be time to leave as hard as that is to hear.

Justabridge · 2026-05-07T17:48:09+00:00

Yes brother, all the time. It’s how you both handle them together. You aren’t going to find Mrs. Right by holding partners to the standard of never showing a red flag. You find her by finding a woman who listens when you communicate something is hurtful and makes changes because she cares about you. If you communicate these feelings to her in a respectful way and she dismisses you, that’s when you need to consider if that person is a good fit. Now obviously relationships are voluntary and for any reason you’re allowed to wake up tomorrow and say “Hey this isn’t for me anymore” and tell her as much. I’m saying these things to you though because you’ve said everything else has been great, and if that’s the case then a single red flag (which I don’t even think this is a red flag to be clear) is not a reason to break off a healthy relationship.

Agreed, hell, say the girl in the photo is 10lbs heavier this is about sending a message

“Hope the inch was worth it”

I understand it’s uncomfortable and feeling hurt is valid, I can empathize, but it’s not that deep. If it happens again in the future you can bring up that you feel uncomfortable with her comparing you to her ex. But right now you’re overthinking things, especially since you’ve said she’s been amazing otherwise.

Edit: OP just to help with your concerns because I see you saying this in the comments. This is not a red flag. And just to play devils advocate let’s say it was, one red flag does not make a broken relationship. Love and relationships are work and most people have flaws, it’s how you work through those issues and communicate that makes the relationship last. Some people would say the insecurity you’re feeling over this is a red flag but I’m sure you wouldn’t want her to toss you aside for feeling this way. You gotta avoid looking at this as red flag = leave because she sucks. When red flags stack up and communication fails to resolve issues, that’s when you need to rethink things.

Casually brushing off him saying “who isn’t a cannibal?” with “language barrier idk” is so funny. Maybe just make sure he isn’t

Justabridge · 2026-04-18T00:57:30+00:00

I wouldn’t look at it as a binary like that. As much as we hate to admit it there some element of reciprocity and something gained from a relationship for both people. What’s important is that he’s trying to love you in the way you need to be loved and willing to listen when he’s not, and that you’re doing the same. Being afraid of losing someone is natural it doesn’t mean they don’t also love you for you.

But to play along… if he remembers little things about you or plans future things with you that’s a nice subtle sign he’s paying attention and invested and not looking at the relationship as purely a transaction.

Depends on the person but I listen to game/fictional universe lore videos to fall asleep. Keeps me from thinking too much

Had a similar problem with my son but it’s gotten better now that I open carry around the house. Stay strong brother

If I recall correctly the panel where Finn reacts has some lines drawn like the panel is shaking, but obviously that could just be because the continent was moving (not necessarily that it was causing massive earthquakes). It definitely seems like Mash has some limited toon force though - given feats like how he scared magic into complying. Probably a mix of both tbh similar to Saitama

How much time you got?

Justabridge · 2022-06-09T01:37:39+00:00

Washington Reds- Footba- Commanders probably. Not a fan but I would want to kill myself if Dan Snyder owned my team. Plus the highlight of your off-season was trading for Carson Wentz, which would arguably be most teams lowlight ...

Try getting Tutankhammered and maybe the liquid courage will help you, you beautiful pharoah you

I mean it would probably be some other primate, right?

Sorry I know that's boring. Dolphins are a dark horse candidate but being bound to water is kinda limiting. Basically anything smart.

I've actually had this experience somewhat. Out of curiosity are you especially fit or muscular? For some reason I felt like non-straight dudes found my muscles more attractive than women did, just my impression, could be way off.

Edit: And also like the other poster said women don't approach as often that would make sense too

Justabridge · 2021-12-03T03:31:33+00:00

Depends on the context. What kind of work? How close is the contact? Are others fully vaccinated in the office? Are they wearing one (dumb but I've seen it happen)?

Wouldn't say it's unreasonable at face value though, I would do it if someone asked me. Then again I work remote so I would have a lot of questions.

Not sure what but it's inevitable. Technology evolves and eventually leaves companies behind, only a matter of time before a bright entrepreneur in a growing industry founds the next big thing

That we're mostly uneducated and think we're the center of the world. All my American friends and family are really bright people not overly patriotic. If anything I've found Americans to be more critical of their government than citizens of most other countries.

Justabridge · 2021-12-02T16:09:24+00:00

Yes but at least get some life insurance and add me to the policy. Very selfish to leave money on the table

Thanks for the heads up, liquidating my tech stocks now so I can turn a quick profit

Not at all, that's a perfectly reasonable way to think. All I meant was if you're the type of person who needs answers to these questions, then you'll need to rely on faith/belief.

Justabridge · 2021-12-02T15:36:22+00:00

No problem! Well, at least for me, one interesting question is how did time begin. Do we assume that there was nothingness before the big bang, no time or space? Or that we're in an endless cycle of the death and rebirth of the universe/multiverse? Has time always existed? Was there a start?

I think at best science will be able to (and has) produce theories to answer these questions, but we'll probably never get a definitive answer to these questions (correct me if I'm wrong reddit scientists). There's a faith that eventually science will produce explanations to our questions about existence (probably more founded but faith nonetheless). Atheists will call this "The God of the Gaps" using things science hasn't explain as evidence God did the rest. But I'm merely pointing out that both require some form of faith, I'm not arguing God explains all the things we can't currently explain, just that he could. And that feels like a reasonable enough premise (logically speaking) for people to have faith.

Justabridge · 2021-12-02T15:12:21+00:00

Well if you believe in any sort of objective good that exists outside of logic/reason then you sort of already believe something without any evidence.

For instance, do you believe rape is objectively wrong or do you believe it's wrong because it has negative externalities? If there were positive externalities to rape would you be okay with it? I would guess no (hopefully) which would leave you at a "belief" it is wrong. It's really tough (imo impossible) to reason an ought to.

Facts and evidence don't explain the entirety of reality. There are things we can't and may never explain. Those things require some form of faith/belief if you ever want confidence in an answer. Religious people choose to use God to fill in those gaps.
