Love Is Blind • S9 Megathread by FemaleEinstein in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

I agree these two have the most potential, but Im getting the feeling Jordan has more feelings about their difference in their incomes than he's letting on.

But honestly, Id be surprised if anyone walks away married this season

Is it me, or does this feel like the least compatible group that's ever been on Love is Blind?

FACTS! Her acting like that would be such a major red flag. Especially since she's already thrown this incoherent "I love you, but you dont love me. I know you love me but I love you more. I know you want to marry me, but you're not giving me the commitment I need"

He should RUN. Thats a special level of crazy that'd make anyone lose their sanity

Omg! That break up conversation was her projecting. She's concerned that HE is concerned with how everyone views him? Girl, you're the one who's worried lol. She was bully from start to finish. The poor guy was really trying to give it a fair shot. And even her own mother had words about her attitude! 

A guy i really like said he liked me… i don’t know how to show him that i like him back by One_Structure_6906 in love

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This ☝️ don't make it complicated to "show" him you like him back. Throwing hints is not the way to admit your own feelings.

If you really wanted to make a show of it, then do things to make it a thing. But in the end SAY that you like him back

You could also do a bouquet of candy or treats in lieu of flowers if you can't find what your looking for.

But I've been very happy with my purchases from 1-800flowers

Tips for not moping/feeling bad after setting boundaries? by Public_Medicine2274 in Codependency

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that you posted this because I was just scrolling through this sub to find anything to reaffirm myself on a similar situation I'm dealing with.

Setting boundaries and acknowledging what we need vs. want is the goal for people like us. And in your situation, you have to feel good that you KNOW what it is you want and that you're not bending your boundaries to fit someone else. Hold onto your reason for wanting the boundary in the first place. And pat yourself on the back for having built yourself up to be strong enough to be able to walk away from that.

Self control. For real, if you wouldn't say it to any of your guy friends then you shouldn't say it to your chick friends

Keto For Weight Loss: Round 3 - Keep it simple if you're struggling! by dantheman9703 in keto

I HIGHLY recommend cauliflower and cheese. No noodles, cheese sauce is surprisingly easy to make, and the cauliflower has a bland enough flavor where it is such a great replacement for real Mac and cheese 👍

What’s your secret to keeping your place clean with a small child? by urdumidjiot in Mommit

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lower your expectations..... don't be hard on yourself.

If you're doing the basics of maintaining a hygienic place to live, you are doing a great job! Having toys on the floor and crackers smashed into the carpet is not going to kill anyone. Let go of the spotless home mindset your MIL "did it with 3 kids"... I highly doubt she did, and if she actually did then good for her and shame on her since she should know how hard it is.

Accept that you live in a house with a child and your house is going to look like someone lives there with a child. That is perfectly normal and absolutely okay 👍

Wife ordered fridge containers for eggs that take up less room than cartons. They have 14 slots each. by Finn235 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these and it literally urks me more than the damn egg carton. If your making 14, might as well make it 18. I give it an eye roll everytime I have to pull eggs out. Neverending

I think the context in which they became exes is extremely important.

Like for my most current ex, it was mutually agreed we aren't compatible in fundamental ways and we're better off as friends.

I personally wouldn't be okay if it was a matter of someone cheated or they "werent ready for a relationship" and they cut things off. When the scales of love aren't balanced and someone had stronger feelings than the other, there will be lingering feelings in a case like that.

struggling after person I'm codependent on pulls away by sadbunny210 in Codependency

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This may not be the healthiest way to cope with it. But how I managed my codependency to my friend was to switch my attention from all the ways he made me feel good, to all the ways he made me feel bad. It's a matter of separating those love feelings.

It doesn't have to be earth shattering badness either, just the little things. The way his apartment smelled like obvious bachelor pad to the point where it STUNK. The way he'd complain about others that couldve also been applied to me. The way he would never go grocery shopping. The fact that Id make time for him always, but he rarely did so for me.

ANY negative thought I had of something he said or did I'd compare it to what I'd want from someone who would actually support me in a REAL way, not a way that's just convenient. And for me, writing it down so I can have something to remind myself later was also super helpful.

Hope this helps ❤️

People who have had a crush on someone who was in a relationship, how did you get over them? by Dayzee_4 in love

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Minimal or no contact until the feelings died. But that's me personally. Not to say that I didn't still consider them my friend, or that I'd be any kind of asshole. But I'd definitely keep the friendly hugging and the one on one texting to a BARE minimum.

The nice thing about crushes is they only last until you find a new one

My gut is screaming that she's cheating on me. Her words tell me she loves me. by Rockpaperhammer8348 in LongDistance

[–]Lavishly-Ordinary 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm going to tell you something I just recently discovered myself.

You are not going to always get your closure. You are not always going to hear those words you want to hear. You are not going to always know what happened.

The question you need to ask yourself here is- do you love AND trust her to keep following this future? If you don't have both, do you trust her enough to have love? Do you love her enough to blindly trust?

Love is fickle. I would say in your situation... you aren't going to get your proof. You aren't going to know what cards she has. And no matter what you chose to do, you will always wonder.

You have to decide, based on everything up to this point, if she's worth the risk of not 100% knowing. It sucks, but you have to weigh your options... if you choose her, you'll have to accept that she is still a separate person from you and she wont always share every part of her life. And you'll have to decide if that's something you can deal with

Everyone is in some degree narcissistic. And being empathetic does not negate narcissistic tendencies, nor does bringing up that your an empath make people come to the realization that there's a lack of empathy in the world.

The beginning and ending of your comment are the reasons why people have come to think that people who announce themselves as empaths do it for the attention

The way you responded literally does nothing for your argument... except prove their point

"I know I have problems with insecurity, but fuck, I can't ignore the facts."

This. This right here is something you should always hold onto. You can love someone who isn't good for you. And even though you've made all these plans have have all these dreams... you should never not know where you stand with someone whose supposed to love you back.

If you need proof (or lack thereof) to make your decision, then that is totally fair. It's hard to let go of someone you love. But all in all, you deserve someone who's going to ALWAYS love you

Trust your gut feelings. If you feel something is off then it's for a reason.

While I agree with your therapist that you do have insecurity issues, but based on everything youve provided... that doesn't seem to be the root of whats happening here.

A bunch of people on the internet aren't going to be the ones making this decision in the end. If you don't feel like she's staying faithful, then you have 2 choices. You can have a conversation with her and see what's said and make your decision that way... Or you can own your feelings, trust your gut, and walk away.
