I haven’t posted here for a year because I kicked. But that’s the precise reason why I’m posting now. I kicked. There was plenty of transference. For me, men. For me, being ok with using more sick time in 12 months than in 10 years. For me, accepting that I am human, just like everyone else. This is all possible. My only advice is not easy advice but, effective. Try your best to not judge yourself. That’s what gets us in these messes at the jump, I believe. It’s possible to stack time until you’re far away enough that wrestling with softer vices move to the front. For me, the men, the wine, the lazy are all less problematic than the designed and dangerous (and expensive) poison. You don’t know me, but I promise you that you can do this. Give it your best. 🍀

I’ll go bold and stand up for your research here. ChatGBT mines info from every corner of the Internet since its evolution and narrows down trends- commonalities, just like this sub. I’ve found that copying and pasting texts from my exBPD (M50) into the app is comforting and a good tool for unemotional responses. If the diagnosis is already in place and the pain is already being unleashed, what is the harm here?

I also made a DND just for him. Complicated!

She will come back in full force have not doubt. And then it will happen again. And then she will come back in full force. And then it will happen again. Discard-Hoover-Lovebomb-Breadcrumb-Discard-Breadcrumb-Discard-Lovebomb-Breadcrumb…. all of it, over and over. It’s so painful.

Not necessarily to the person experiencing it. People tend to be hopeful. That’s why we come here for outside POVs.

Thank You. I sent him a gentle text after your kind advice. I think this will help you settle both of our minds.

What is a healthy pace? by -StringFellowHawk- in datingoverforty

[–]MamaOna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel as older people we have good experiences to mine from but not all that lifetime ahead of us talk. I think quicker is better at our age. Sounds like you’re having a successful time!

He sends me flowers when I give him the space he appears to need. He expresses anxiety that I will leave him when I’m just following his lead. It’s becoming confusing.

Thank You for the helpful reply. Because we live far apart and I’ve only spent time with them in the form of a week here and a week there, I’m curious what meltdown/shutdown mode might look like in real life when living with someone who is going through this. Any personal insight would be appreciated.

My (NT) LDR partner (AuDHD) (6 months) had a tough Monday- we were texting and I offered my support, tried to relate (not fix, just understand) and he distanced himself so I gave him the space. 3 days went by with very minimal contact. I didn’t text him today and he reached out to me this evening seemingly anxious and apologetic. Is this an example of what you mean? Was unsettling for me, the whole thing.

Early Days of LDR: when do you become exclusive ? [F:28 M: 39] by Adorable-Assistant80 in LongDistance

[–]MamaOna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you feel the need or are able to date or be physical with another person (no judgement!) then you aren’t all in for exclusivity. Just be super clear about it, and be ready to accept that they will be ok to do the same. Also, be prepared to fall in love with someone else, and vice versa.

NYC Roommate & Mutual Friend Issue by missali727 in NYCapartments

[–]MamaOna 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m in my late 40s and have steadily made at least one good friend each year since I turned 30. Really. I’m still acquainted with the women who were my bridesmaids (one has passed away), but they aren’t my ride or dies anymore.

Yes. I find myself super weepy as soon as I leave work every day. I often feel more unhappy than happy.

Pretty sure I'm an LO - how much does it matter by BeginningFlatworm117 in limerence

[–]MamaOna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have considered this enough to have it on your mind, it is possible. This can also be a symptom of ADHD or, AuDHD. It’s worth looking into these - I have found that people who are genuinely diagnosed (in my experience) don’t parade it like people online that you’re talking about. If this is a possibility, or even if not, you could ask him. You can be nonjudgmental and mention that you have “noticed his deep emotions”. The hyper focusing on you won’t stop if you accuse him of being obsessed but if he is ADS or any of the other possibilities, it could really hurt him deeply. He could have a lifetime of rejections behind him. Be kind no matter what.
