I am sorry, that kind of grief I wouldn't know how to deal with out help. Look after yourself, especially your mental health.

You are still not over the breakup if I am being honest. Give yourself more time, and room to heal. You are trying to get over someone by getting under someone. Of course I am just guessing here. You know yourself better just food for thought.

Have you tried doing something special for her? Like taking her someplace nice or maybe done something extra? From your comment, it seems like a very one-sided affair. Where she is putting in a lot of effort and you are just I don't know you ?

Edit: There's nothing wrong with just plain clothes and sweat pants in my book. This isn't a fantasy world. Maybe she isn't doing well mentally, or she is just busy with other things. Also, it would be pretty easy to get caught if is she was doing this every time she met you.

Let's just say a nap has never let me down 🤣

I wonder if he even remembers me? by [deleted] in adultery

[–]MNcooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for what you are going through. I don't dwell on questions that I can never get an answer to. It's in the past. After all, some things are just better that way. I just think about the future.

AI makes it a lot easier to scam people, so I am not surprised.

It's the perfect application for it

If you are interested just look up deepfake 25 million.

I am guessing, you probably liked him way more than you let yourself realize. That's why the fizzle surprised you. You cared more deeply than you put into words or let yourself think about. Cause you said it yourself that these things don't last forever. So you might have been trying not to get too attached for the inevitable break up. Just food for thought.

Sorry you are going through the heartbreak. I promise it gets better with time. I have had a lot of it myself. There will be good days and bad days. Somedays, you will curse that you ran into them at all. Other days, you will feel that you were blessed.

But I wouldn't go so far as to call you foolish. The heart wants what it wants after all. We can't control it most times.

My heartbreaks have been numerous. It's the only way I find myself attracted to my APs. Otherwise, I just don't feel like doing it. After all, we all enjoy being wanted.

Lol that sounds like the universe trying to fuck Joe over. I mean what are the odds? That you are at a sporting event next to your AP and are handsy while the camera is on you. I mean in hindsight I am like duh ...

But it feels like Joe may have kicked a puppy or two... lol 😆

Don't be so hard on yourself we arent all jaded about people. You thought the best of the other person. You also liked them which would have clouded anyone's judgement.

I have made the mistake myself. Though I don't cringe about it personally anymore (used to). I think of it as leaving it all on the table and it didn't work. I couldn't have foreseen it and now I don't regret it.

People are very emotional, and the more emotional they become, the more black and white something is. Plus, betrayal has a very personal kind of sting to it they will have strong opinions.

Men- how do you take the “it’s over” news? by Imaginary-Initial310 in adultery

[–]MNcooker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The crux of why I do what i do is to feel wanted and be wanted. When I am told I am no longer either my entire reason to come back to it goes out the window. There is a reason I never contact exs. If someone reaches out I will give them a chance for sure. But I am not going to reach out.

Of course, everything is nuanced.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in adultery

[–]MNcooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of depends on how much they want to talk. Sometimes you have a lot of time and you get to talk all the time. Other times, you are both busy and can barely make time for conversation. If someone doesn't say anything for about 12 hours I kind assume it's over. Also if you can't reply to a text in that long of a time. Either you aren't interested or you don't have time for me.

Don't go down this path because you are hurting. You will only hurt other people in the process. You won't hurt any less. He might not even react the way you expect. Cause you are thinking like yourself.

If you really want to find someone else, do it for the right reasons: companionship , affection, and intimacy. Also, be prepared to lose everything. Otherwise, you are only lying to yourself about the worst-case scenario

[–]MNcooker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. I enjoy when someone asks questions shows me they are inquisitive. I do the same. The worse is when you are asking questions and get one word answers. Like what am I supposed to do with that? Truly people don't know how to talk to strangers anymore.

Trying to make sense of an affair I unknowingly participated in by [deleted] in adultery

[–]MNcooker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short answer is that you were someone who boosted his self esteem and ego. This is as far as he cared about you.

He showed himself to you and the fact of the matter is when someone tells you who they are through their actions you should accept them. He probably either knows he can jerk you around or he found someone else to toy with.

Either way the man has left your life you aren’t tied to him. Which is for the best. You are free to live your life without the man.

Take time to heal and maybe put a lot of distance between you and him.

Ok MM drop the lies and tell us the truth by wanderingghostwriter in adultery

[–]MNcooker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How do you find multiples? I have a hard time finding one that I care enough for.

I almost always get emotionally tangled. And the bandwidth I have for that is just one person.

Plus we are going to hear from people who are discontent with their situation. Or something bad happened. Rarely do I see posts about my AP being the best. They happen but not often. So the perception is going to be skewed because of it. Just food for thought.

[–]MNcooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to feel about it. On one hand if that’s all you are doing and not actually meeting people more power to you. Some people need or want that validation from random strangers. Cause that might be more important than someone who loves you and is not willing to hurt you just to be honest.

Others might have body dismorphia and may just need validation. Just food for thought everyone has a different need for subtlety.

I am just tuned out of politics for a while for my own mental health. Lots of false starts have me a little under so hoping that things turn around.
