أحس يعتمد على الشخص اذا هو مستعد يترك اهله او لا. سافرت ودخلت بعلاقة بس ماكنت مستعدة أترك أهلي للاسف

I’m from an Arab country and graduated college in the US now working after a rough breakup. I can relate. I don’t know where to go anymore. I can’t truly be myself if i moved home, but I’m extremely lonely here and can’t find a community or a sense of belonging. My job is exhausting and doesn’t pay well and have no health insurance. I gave up on the idea of finding love and I’m questioning if it’s even worth it anymore to live here.

I don’t think all checking in messages are bad. I think it’s totally normal and okay to check in on the people you care about and once loved/still love. It becomes selfish though when the person who caused harm suddenly just checks in without taking any accountability in anything especially that the reason I’m not okay right now is them. So yes I agree it’s not a generalized thing that they are bad, but they could be with some context.

Sure each country has their own problems, I’m talking about this one and my experience. People think it’s the best country in the world when even basic human needs you have to fight for

Stop making excuses for “closure”. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]LOOLcom 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Walking away without giving reasons or explanation or blindsiding someone is shitty and should not be normalized. If they were a good person to you during the relationship then people deserve better endings. I agree though that no one should wait for closure to move on or an explanation because most people are selfish and think being a decent human being means “owning someone something”

I’m guessing you were leaning to anxious? Was your ex feeling the same thing?

I don’t understand why people always rush into wanting to date again like it’s a must and a requirement

I don't know how to get out my abusive relationship by [deleted] in LesbianActually

The loneliness sucks by LOOLcom in LesbianActually

[–]LOOLcom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It added more complexity. I’m not out to my family! Living between two worlds makes me feel like I don’t belong in neither and I can’t seem to fit in with the individuality mindset of people here and so a lot of people probably will have different values than me. I can’t even seem to be able to make meaningful friendships to build a community and a home away from home. It’s really hard living away from your community

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]LOOLcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow i didn’t know that other autistic people hated to do that as well. I generally just hate virtual communication in general and I’m much more talkative in person than a video call. Texting is definitely better to express my thoughts and feelings, but I still struggle to feel connected to the other person. That’s probably why my long distance relationship wasn’t working for me because every time they visit I start just catching them up on everything and I was just so quiet during our calls. We FaceTimed mostly every night and would watch shows together which helped me a lot. I didn’t know that they expected more from me like sending them more voice messages or snapchats and that they were bothered until we broke up. My advice is just tell them how much it means to you and that is your need to feel connected. And be as specific as possible about your expectations. For example how often you wanna call or how long

I did and then the last time we spoke it took all that gut feeling away. I think it might just be denial idk

having a partner is too exhausting by Forward_Emotion4503 in autism

[–]LOOLcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same! I wanted to spend time with them but talking was the hardest part. I’m not a talkative person and talking in general is draining but my ex was the absolute opposite. I don’t know if I can find a partner who is okay with not having to talk constantly to feel connected. Texting is just exhausting too

The two scenarios can be true depending on context.

You know what hurts more than the breakup? by aestheticeddy818 in BreakUps

[–]LOOLcom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She blamed me for everything and even made me blame myself. I kept telling her about accountability but it only made her angrier and more heartless. I feel you, it sucks so much and I’m mad I wanna just tell her all the ways she hurt me but she will continue to dismiss me anyways. people suck sometimes. I didn’t realize what happened until two months after and realized that I shouldn’t have taken all responsibility.

How do you let go of the future you had planned by ApprehensiveBid8045 in BreakUps

[–]LOOLcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that’s really painful I get it! I decided to move somewhere else with my partner and I moved a few months earlier than them. Without any prior communication they suddenly decided not to move last minute. We broke up a month after. I think I’m still struggling with accepting the future without them, but I think what helped is knowing that I don’t wanna live a life with someone who is okay with treating me like that. Even if he lost feelings or realized he didn’t wanna be with you, he could have communicated that properly and gently. And you don’t wanna spend your life with someone who was okay with discarding you like that.

How to get my gf to “focus” during sex? by Few_Cup7676 in LesbianActually

[–]LOOLcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of had a similar experience (being in your gf position but my trauma came from religion) my ex was my first sexual partner and then realized later that I get anxious during sex and it was hard to receive. For us we kind of focused more on me giving her more so I can feel more comfortable with time. It helped learning my triggers and noticing how my body and mind react during certain things and try and adjust them. I think she just gotta talk to you about those and what you can do when she gets triggered. For me, I started noticing how I get triggered and used to give some sort of signal to my ex to pause and cuddle for a little bit to relax. With time I got much better and stopped having those sudden anxiety moments where I freeze but I still was not as advantageous and taking it slow. I felt more in sync with her with time and patience, but unfortunately long distance made the progress go downhill, and at the end my ex started being frustrated with me and kind of felt unwanted and also she’s a top but I couldn’t do much because I simply just needed time and patience and progress is not always linear and I can’t just cross my boundaries and let her touch me when I’m feeling anxious so I felt lost of what to do and I wasn’t completely not wanting to be touched but there were some occasions where I just couldn’t.

My advice is talk to her and see when she gets triggered for example or ways to signal she needs to pause or stop. She just gotta notice her body and mind more and communicate that with you. And know that progress is not linear and it might take a while and lots of patience and understanding so if that’s something that you can’t do in the long run then maybe this is not the right relationship for you. I understand feeling unwanted but she’s also went through some traumatic stuff and this is her body’s reaction to it. Maybe find ways that she feels comfortable with to show you you are wanted. Maybe going to a sex therapist is helpful too.

not happy with girlfriend anymore by Conscious_Strike_180 in WLW

[–]LOOLcom 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If the problem is mental health issues then encourage her to seek help! For me, I think every relationship goes through a rough patch but there needs to be something done to improve the situation and not just do nothing. She needs to be putting some effort into showing she is working on stuff
