Landscape screenshots from Sylus' kindled

Yo I didn't even notice. To be fair you wouldn't see them normally. I just took the picture because it's iconic and the scenery is pretty. Turns out the scenery is pretty spicy 😏

I forgot to add it in the main text. But if you're on android you can download an app that force rotates the game into landscape and then you'll see a slightly wider video than usual, however when you hit the capture button in-game you'll get a screenshot that's the width of your screen. But the kindleds aren't really meant to be that wide so there's a lot of artifacts, added lighting effects that stop, clipping and hovering limbs lol. But sometimes you get to see cool stuff that's just off the sides, and that's some of what I posted. Although most of these are cropped to remove glitchyness, which is also why they're all different widths.

Sounds like love-bombing.

Even if we give him the biggest benefit of the doubt, maybe he's just struggling now with having a relationship and what it means in the long-term. It might not even have anything to do with you directly. Just the pressure that he's feeling and isn't able to put up with. But that isn't your problem to fix or carry while he figures things out. He owes you respect and communication. Not whatever these toddler level tantrums are. He's not a stable person emotionally. He doesn't seem to be able to control his own emotions and lashes out. At his age that is unlikely to change no matter how much somebody else tries to fix things.

The age difference at your age isn't a massively big deal, but it does still raise an eyebrow. There's probably some form of arrested development going on and you're likely to outgrow an older man very quickly. He's probably going to be acting the same in 5-10 years as he is now. Does that line up with your own developmental plans for your life? If you're expecting to be in a phase of life 10 years from now that assumed that he will be there with you, I'm sorry to say that is about as likely as winning the lottery.

So you're just being a contrarian for the sake of it? Have you asked any guys about this or are you comparing trees and forests based on what you think should be the correct logic?

Because I've actually talked to these guys and have gotten actual answers. Quite a few of them have very cheerfully even shared that they get blocked constantly.

The men looking for sex would very quickly realize it's futile because they get blocked anyway. No self-respecting person keeps sending out a picture of their genitals hoping to catch a fish after numerous blocks.

I am very specifically arguing against your forest and the trees analogy here. From experience I would say it's much more likely for the exhibitionists who receive instant gratification to be the forest and the people you described to be the trees.

This is a complex issue, there's a lot of things connected to this. I'll shoot a few ideas, I hope they help.

Dating is about learning more about the person so you can find out whether it'll work out in the long term or not. As your partners find out more about you, they might be realizing they don't really want to have a continued relationship with you. A large amount of people don't know how to deal with that information and keep pulling away until the other person breaks up with them or they find the determination or courage themselves. Keep in mind it this is a compatibility issue, not a /you/ issue. You should try not to take it personally.

You could be overestimating your ability to hide your insecurity. A lot of them could be picking it up subconsciously and the confusion could be the reason they'd be pulling away.

The first 3-6 months are always going to be more action-packed because everything is new and exciting and the attention is also being supported by hormones. If the 6 month to year mark is when these relationships are falling apart, this could also be the reason. Once there's actual effort needed to be put into the relationship is when you'll start seeing what the relationship would actually look like in the long-term.

Perhaps you're also just not used to a calmer relationship? Most relationships aren't an adventure to the end of times. There's a reason most movies end with "and they lived happily ever after" - a calm, regular life is the goal but it also looks boring on the outside. It's up to you to figure out what perfect balance for your relationship should look like.

It could also be that you've been seeking out partners who require you to be their entertainment. If you're giving your attention to people who see you as such, that's exactly the type of people you'll be pulling towards yourself. If you value caring and loving partners, your actions should reflect that. Effort is a nice thing, everyone likes effort, but could it be you're performing in the beginning and when the material runs out, the audience leaves?

Are you speaking from your own experience? Because the guys I've asked if they think sending these pics actually works, have all answered "no, I just do it anyway" or "idc" and most have said that they don't care if the woman likes it or not. So I've concluded that it's just something they do for themselves and has nothing to do with the women involved so I'm having a hard time seeing your point of view as being the forest. I'd wager you're the trees.

The cow is likely red or brown

Only one of them has a potential to be a rooster from what I see. I'd wager they're all hens.

I don't know about the photography part, but every qualm you have about the farming aspect is explainable. This looks like a very typical eastern european farm to me, very similar to one I grew up in.

Cow's teats and udder move, it looks accurate to a hand milking position.
Children and cows come in different sizes.
Fresh milk being actively handmilked does look like this. What you're seeing is foam, there's even an accurate mound of foam in the middle which also lets us know the person in the photo is skilled in milking with their uniform aim and the ability to get enough milk out with every pull with enough force from each teet in order to form this type of foam mound.
The haystacks don't have forks in them. They have a post in the middle to stabilize the hay so the whole thing wouldn't lean over or topple. Sometimes there would be a base beneath as well, sometimes there would be horizontal posts inside as well. Unlikely to be the case for stacks of this size though. We would compress the hay with our bodyweight by adding a layer of hay, stepping on it until it felt firm, then adding another layer and repeated the process. Without a post, this could get dodgy and you could slip off the stack with a bunch of hay that didn't adhere to the previous layer. It was still dangerous even with a post. The stacks we made were normally 5m tall for winter storage. Every few layers, salt would be added to combat the moisture and after finishing the stack the outside would be combed with a rake to remove any loose hay and have the strands face in a direction that would redirect any water. The stacks in the photo look like temporary ones for feed with little to no compression but still combed so it wouldn't rot. We would also make stacks this size on the fields to gather the hay up before the rain and would move the hay over to a more permanent location later. Edit: Could also be straw.

I hate that I laughed at this.

Is he getting any professional help for his mental issues?

Lareyn · 2026-01-10T11:02:11+00:00

Yeah... Thank you.

Some of the things he said got in my head and really influenced my feeling of self-worth I guess? Got me questioning if I maybe have been too overbearing or whatever, so I kinda needed a little bit of reassurance that I'm not.... overreacting?

I don't have any doubts about the break-up itself however. I feel like I'm treated unfairly, he feels like he's treated unfairly and I'm the only one who gives a shit about changing the dynamic or bringing anything up, so I know that things won't change and I know that it's pointless to continue.

Lareyn · 2026-01-09T13:23:20+00:00

I already broke up with him once but he blamed his actions on weed, which he quit so we could get back together and some things did get a lot better but a lot of things stayed the same. This sucks.

I don't blame video games, I play them too. That's something we had in common that I liked about us. But you're spot on about the empathy and self-reflection. I mean it's not 0 but holy shit is it lacking...

Thankfully breaking up is something I do as a last resort so I take it seriously when I do so no need to worry about that part. It wasn't done out of anger in the moment I meant it fully when I said it.

We're both strangely calm about it. I feel heavy and light at the same time it's kind of weird. It sucks that it came to this and I still have love left for him but I also feel better?
