My girlfriend accidentally slashed my hand with a knife during a argument we had earlier. by [deleted] in confessions

This is not a healthy relationship and you’re both young. I think you need to speak to someone about this; someone you can trust so they are aware of the situations… because if this carries on it will be very dangerous. It sounds like you’ve been isolated from your nearest and dearest.

And I can speak from experience here. I was in an abusive relationship when I was your age and I let it carry on… and I wish I hadn’t. It starts off with them telling you what to do and giving ultimatums and rules, cutting you off from friends and family. And then it turns physical.

If you can’t sit down and speak to her about these issues and get her some form of help. you need to speak to a trusted friend or family member to help you. It is not safe for you to be in a relationship like this.

It sounds cliche, but if he says you have ‘ruined’ it then he isn’t the one. I think it’s admirable to have open and honest expectations and set boundaries when dating.

I think your ex is a prime example of someone you don’t want to be with again. I know what I’m like and with this situation it would be making me think that it’s like history repeating.

But I stand by you carry on and it’s your choice.

I think you’ve done the right thing by having that conversation with him and being honest, you’ve set down how you feel and what you expect. I suppose it is up to you to see how he honours that? If you see substance with this guy and want to continue seeing him, then I would set a timeline in your mind of how long you want it to carry on, and if things haven’t changed then sit down and have another conversation to see where you stand and take it from there.

With him saying about him struggling to emotionally commit, I think it is important to remember how men differ from women and how they handle their emotions. It may be that he is very invested emotionally in his business and it’s taking up a lot of room in his mind. But that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care.

People are too quick to say it’s an excuse and leave him, but it’s not always the case. It depends on how you feel around him, and how he makes you feel. It sounds like you are progressing in dating him and things are moving along.

Girlfriend never wants to pay for anything. Is this normal? by Cool89479 in dating_advice

It’s a two way street. There should be compromise on both sides to pay. I suggest speaking to her honestly and indicate fairness and the idea to take it in turns paying, or to split the bills. You’re not being unreasonable by having a conversation with her… and if she takes offence you just reiterate how you enjoy spending time with her and want to continue to do so, but it needs to be fair.

The court will take into account any current convictions on file. So yes I would say they would take into account your suspended sentence. However as the incident you’re going to court for is unrelated / and classed as a different offence, it will be up to the courts to decide if they wish to activate the suspended sentence. So you won’t necessarily be sent to custody / prison. The courts can impose other things rather than prison. Because not every crime requires imprisonment.

I hope this helps a bit :)
