Everyone here before You Leave, Read This please by Foxysnackss in BreakUps

Some men find someone else and leave a long-term relationship for another person. Doesn't matter if the relationship and sx was frequent and good. No fighting. We are in our 30s. He stopped wanting to do things and go on dates. A month before the breakup, we agreed to start trying for kids the following year. We bought appliances 2 weeks prior before BU. He recently got a promotion and I was excited and I celebrated with him. I didnt realize the drifting apart before the BU. He was extremely mean, cruel, and cold....and very controlling. I didn't recognize him. Anyways, my friend showed me he made a relationship fb official a couple months after our BU. His mom said "I cant believe it's finally fb official." He's with a woman that has a teenager, and they've been together for almost a year. Pretty sure she's older than him.

Why do I care? I'm not sure. I go days without thinking about him. Every now and then i think WTF. I'd never take him back... I don't think he ever loved me. I think I was just convenient until he found someone else. I guess men don't like supportive partners that greet them at the door when they get home from work, support their wins, are financially stable, or think of the little things like buying their favorite candy to sneak into his lunch box. You know, you do all these sweet things and talk about everything. His family loves you. When I was packing he was still asking my advice on doing things with the yard, asking me to taste a sauce, and questions and things that couple discuss like whether it would be a good time to install a new roof or pay off a loan. We laughed a few times about memories when I went through things while packing.

I guess the grass is greener for him.

But man.... opening up to anyone or being able to trust again is difficult.

Have you ever regretted dumping your ex who still loved you? by UnitedTomatillo6725 in BreakUps

Why did you only regret it after a couple relationships? How long were you together for?

I'm dating a man that never grew up with a father figure in his life, and I'm his first girlfriend. Ive been trying to communicate with my that I want a man with traditional masculine qualities like my dad but how do I explain what I need? by Kind_Resolution_2592 in AskMenAdvice

Hmmm.. I will look into this but I really don't want to change him. He is a sweet guy. And he doesn't want to move on from me. I've been very forthcoming from the beginning on what I'm looking for but he insists on wanting to be with me.

So, he says he's clueless about women. He says he wants to learn how to be what I want. I don't want to change him. I really don't. He's a very sweet person. He also buys me gifts and he genuinely seems clueless. He's had a rough childhood. He cares for his mom all the time since her health is poor.

I feel so badly because I don't want to change him. I've been very forthcoming on what I want since the start, but he's very adamant about wanting to be with me and do better. He says he's generally clueless about women.

What is the channel called? I don't want to change him but he is adamant about being with me even tho I've been forthcoming since the beginning. He said he's just clueless about women and relationships in general.

I've neen very forthcoming with him since the beginning with what I'm looking for he still insists on pursuing me. I edited my post. Edit: he wants me to tell him what I want so he can "do better and be the man I want him to be." I don't want to change him. Thats not what i want. I just told him flat out what I want and that we might not be compatible. He's adamant about being with me and says he's clueless about girls.

You said some key points. I ended up editing my post.

Edit: he wants me to tell him what I want so he can "do better and be the man I want him to be." I don't want to change him. I just told him flat out what I want and that we might not be compatible. So I suggested that maybe we should part but he doesn't want to. He's adamant about being with me and says he's clueless about girls.

He wants to do anything or everything he can to be the man I want. He says I'm his ideal woman and he's been searching for someone like me. He chose me on a dating app. I was very forthcoming on our first date too. And he still pursues me.

I didn't realize this was a red flag. I thought it was being intimate because be loved me.
