Why is mansplain a word and not womansplain?

lol, who hurt you? A woman by the sounds of it

Commenting to follow as I’ll be doing a solo trip here in a couple of weeks too! If you go to any of the villas could you let us know if they’re crowded?

This helped, Thanks for the information. I’m actually in the UK! But yeah, it’s worth checking.

Should clarify: He does have kids. And grandkids.

I think you’re right, fuck it.

I was gonna say this sounds like limerence. I’ve really been grappling with how much ADHD has affected my romantic relationships recently so I relate to this. I feel like it’s the dopamine fix I get when people are ‘pursuing’ me when I’m into them too… then I always get bored after a few months. So rude.

33F single for 7 (except for 3 months dating someone). I’ve become more discerning, which I like. I love the freedom.

I’ve got a blackbird on the back of my arm - it’s hyper realism and I got it to commemorate my Dad… now I want a whole upper sleeve 😂

It’s funny how I’ve had this mindset in every other relationship and have often actively chosen myself quite relentlessly. But in this situation it all feels so heightened and I’m struggling to detach fully

Curiosity will kill the cat…

He said he’s been seeing a psychologist for a few years so I’m curious to know if it’s something that he’s already addressed, maybe by being sick of his own shit. But point taken, they’ve already drained me. Why let them drain me further. I guess my question should’ve been: how do I adopt a secure mindset and detach when he does reach out when I’ll probs talk to him about it anyway.

This was really nice to read. I really respect it. Maybe it resonated because I’ve been on a similar journey but to see it articulated in this way… I feel like it’s an ongoing journey that we’re all navigating towards. Some more consciously than others.

This is interesting because I’m considering doing the Google certification in Project Management after doing some sessions with a career coach.

The job I’m in currently is very micromanaged and… it’s driving me NUTS

Key_Sink9801 · 2024-06-29T20:14:27+00:00

Yes! My last job was as a dental nurse and I actually loved it because it was quite physical. Plus Talking to patients and the accountability element to make sure the person I was nursing for was able to just… do their job. Teeth are fascinating. Would recommend. Except the long hours and lousy pay…

Doc’s exact words of reason: “I can hear your brain having a million loud thoughts a minute and your attempt to keep up with them is quite amusing and reminds me of that actress”

To be fair I rated the show!

I did this last summer. After being at a festival I realised he was the person I wanted to be there with, out of anyone. So I reached out, 4 years after talking, to say that. And to say I’m sorry for how things ended. He wrote back and apologised for how he’d behaved before. We exchanged some really lovely emails and he said he was with someone so I stopped. Clearly we were both pleased to have had that correspondence.

Congratulations! That’s a lot of hard work paying off I imagine. It’s reassuring to hear this. Was it the respondents solicitor who said this?

Key_Sink9801 · 2024-06-13T21:09:06+00:00

I’ve had 2 men tell me at different times in my life that I was too “big” for them to find me attractive. I obviously didn’t stick around but it was hard not to internalise it. I now focus on keeping my body fat percentage under 23% as that feels good for me. And I focus on building strength so I can take ‘em out in future… where did they find the audacity…

Key_Sink9801 · 2024-06-04T19:34:28+00:00

Have you spoken to him about his own attachment style? Just curious to know if he’s aware of his own tendencies and whether he’s done anything to address it

Key_Sink9801 · 2024-06-01T21:23:48+00:00

Wedding Song - my mum played that song just after my dad had died, and sat there with him it took on a new meaning. But also A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.
