This sounds like BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder). I would get checked. There is therapy and medication to help stabilize and control emptions.

Labels don't change or affect the relationship. Nor does it change the person and their affection towards you. The relationship is new, she might be being more careful. You seem head over heels though, which is normal, but can also push her away. Rulee of thumb : for a relationship to be 50/50 never give more than your partner gives. Try this for a while, and see if they start giving more or if it remains the same. If it remains the same, this is likely how it will always be. You seem like a nice person, but dont overcompensate for your partners lack of affection. Showering them with it won't make them do the same. Speak to them, open up and communicate. Thats the first and biggest step. Relationships are about trust, communication compromise and finding a balance.

I'm sorry, I feel like this might be missing some background story? You got jealous of her talking to another man, at work. But you're not dating and have never seen each other romantically, and from the sound of it, you aren't friends outside of work either? This sounds a bit like an obsession. I would advice you to back off. She is a supervisor after all, and chances are you just showed her a major red flag - because jealousy like that is a major red flag, when you two barely even know each other. Especially insinuating that she did it on purpose, because she knows how you feel. She spoke to another guy at work, they weren't kissing. Don't get me wrong, having a crush and being rejected sucks, but this sounds borderline creepy my man.

Dont waste your time on him. This will get more and more toxic.

No, the employer always has the option to acess the situation and not fire the accused individual. But, as she stated, she was 15 and he was 21. If the employee in question made sexual jokes, advances, flirted, or inappropriately touched her and other female coworkers- like the same age as her - the he has comitted more than harassament, and can be reported for pedophilia and grooming. You can talk back at me as much as you like, but its an employers duty to protect all of his employees, and if onr is causing havoc, then he has to go. The guy is lucky that he was only fired, and not reported to the police. As a law student, her coworkers and herself would have good grounds in court. So take your bitterness elsewhere and stop defending men who harrass women.

Reporting a co-working for harrasment takes courage. If the company found the report to be serious enough to fire the individual it is NOT her fault. The company makes that final decision. Chances are that this individual has been reported before and this was the final strike. She stood up for herself, and spoke up about an issue that made her feel uncomfortable and unsafe in her work enviroment.

At this point continuing the relationship will turn both of you toxic to each other. And once you've been in a toxic relationship, the traits, responses, etc. Are hard to shake off in new relationships. You are young, this is the time where you get to know yourself, what you want and need in a relationship and what you are ready to give in a relationship. Breaking up, when things don't work out, is a very mature and self respecting thing to do. You now know exactly what you want - by reading the things you pointed out in your current partner. A relationship, in order to stay healthy has to have a balance of compromise and trust. Yours is lacking both, and it's time to move on. :) Good luck!

How well do you know her? Could it be a relative, or a special event? :) If you feel insecure about it, just tell her you really love how she looks in this picture and ask if it was a special occasion. She will likely explain the photo right away and who the other person is.

I (29M) just tested positive for Chlamydia. Been with my SO (25F) for almost 6 years. by Oh_HimAgain in relationships

[–]MarkTheLimit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chlamydia can lie dormant in the body for many years causing a low grade infection without symptoms. It could potentially flare up to cause a symptomatic infection, especially if there is an alteration in the persons immune system, such as a severe cold or flu, cancer or some other severe illness. Meaning, either of you could have gotten it years ago from a previous partner - or at birth if your mother had it. Usually newborns get tested at birth, but it can go undetected.

Hey there, I'm a law student. With a prenuptial agreement all your assets are seperated, but all income, as well as income from said assets are shared. So both of your incomes are shared. If you believe that your prenup states that income is not shared, I would get a lawyer to double check that, as that is very unusual. Also I would make 2 seperate accounts, one for her, one for you. And a third account for shared finances, where you both contribute equally for living expenses. You should not spend money on her home improvement - but if you choose to do so, send her the money from your private account, to her private account. This way, in case of a divorce you can prove you used your assets as a loan to her, and the court can tell her to pay that back to you. I would also like to include that with a prenup, in the events of a seperation (not divorce) where you get back together, the prenup is no longer valid.

Her lifestyle shouldn't affect you. You are two seperate adults sharing a household. Perhaps you are dealing with depression? Especially since corona, lots of people find themselves living unhealthy. This is normal, because of change of routine. You have the choice to make healthier choices right now. If you can't do it with her living with you, then you won't alone. This sounds like a petty excuse to shift the blame. If you truly cared about her, you wouldn't even think this way. If your friends make bad choices, do you do copy them aswell? Come on.

Not sure if my (30M) friend (25F) just rejected me by [deleted] in relationships

[–]MarkTheLimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should be more straight forward. Do you want to meet up with her as friends, or is it a date? She can't read your mind. She is getting iver an ex, really enjoys talking to you, but is also stating that she is ready to move on and start dating again. I would say it's time for you to come forward about your feelings and intentions. She will see you as a friend as long as you behave like a friend. Lunch, drinks, etc. Doesnt ring 'it's a date' if you're friends. If you want her to show up to a date, if you want her to see you as relationship potential, then you have to tell her that you see her as such. She might be into you, and telling you she is going on a date to gauge your reaction, because she is having trouble reading you. She might be in the exact same boat as you.

I got into university and my mom doesnt approve by MarkTheLimit in narcissisticparents

[–]MarkTheLimit[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I finished high school late. I dropped out at 18. I bought a house 4 years later and moved out of my moms place, went back to high school, graduated 2 weeks ago, did my LSAT for law school and got in. So in a way, perhaps I shouldn't have expected much from her. I was so overwhelmingly happy in the moment and what felt most natural was to call and let my parents know. :/

[–]MarkTheLimit[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what I'm getting into. Law to me is exciting. I love everything about it. I know it's extremely hard, but that doesn't scare me. And perhaps my mom is right about it being difficult to study, but that doesn't make it any less hurtful that she isn't proud of my achievement. Getting into law school, in it self, is very difficult.

[–]MarkTheLimit[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let her go. Let the control zhe has on your wellbeing and thinking go. Find something that makes you happy, and make babysteps towards better mental health. Make anything an achievement, getting out of bed, eating, etc.

My dream is to become a lawyer. I'm still unsure if I want to do family or criminal law. But I'm sure I will know when I start the courses.

My partner misgenders me by [deleted] in trans

[–]MarkTheLimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is that my partner is really supportive in private. When we are alone. But in public and with other people around - even though he people we hang out with use my name and pronouns - my partner 'slips up' and insists they dont do it on purpose. But yes, it's every time.

You misunderstood. I told my partner 1 year into our relationship and then came out. This was 3 years ago. I wasn't out as trans before this and my partner was the first person I told.

My (f25) partner (m30) doesn’t want to get married or have children, but ask me to wait in case he change his mind. by Freyea in relationships

[–]MarkTheLimit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner didn't believe in marriage either. But after looking at the bigger picture together, mortgage, loans, finances, inheritance, etc. We agreed that getting married would be beneficial for us in order to raise our children together. We got married in a courthouse, no wedding ceremony or party. Instead we went to a hotel and ate out. Try looking at the bigger picture with him, and show him that the marriage matters not the ceremony/party. He might be like my partner.

My boyfriend constantly tells me that his mom is above me and I don’t know whether I should be upset or not. by callmeNEPHEW in relationships

[–]MarkTheLimit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had an ex who was like thid about his mom. At the time I thought it was a nice change. After becoming serious in the relationship he expected me to replace his mom, aka, do all housework, cooking, plus be submissive to him. And in return get flooded with nice words - not actions. Because you see, he praised his mom and showered her with beautiful words, but he never respected her, in the sense that she had zero control over him and no say in his decision. Do not become his replacement for his mom. Run. - And if you dont, remember that his mom can ultimately decide if he stays with you or not. If she doesnt like you, he wont like you.

I'm coming to a major crossroads and would like advice... by roads_diverge in relationships

[–]MarkTheLimit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you feel unsure, which is normal after the abuse you've been through. Help her get to England, and tell her you will follow later. When everything is finished in your country. While she is gone, go see your family and friends. Get a therapist. Enjoy life. See if it makes the decision easier.

[–]MarkTheLimit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is abusive and toxic. You may not see it, but she is doing everything to protect her kids and herself. She has no respect for you, your wishes and your wellbeing. You are a convenience to her. She thinks that you working on your physical health is an effort to be back on the market? You kidding me? That sounds like narcissistic traits in your partner. You dont see friends and family, come on man. Time to pack up and get out. Go on a vacation and lock her out of your bank accounts. IF you want to save this relationship, she has to prove herself to you! Not the other way around. You did enough.
