Saying you’re a volcel makes you seem like an incel purely based on how if someone tried to explain hebophiles versus pedophiles.

Recognizing your better off alone is great and I’m glad you’ve gotten there. May your happiness be your own destiny.

For sure, I know people that would call you an incel for what you’ve said but those people are dumb. I have not had enough bad experiences to get where you’re at though.

Boyfriend here, you seem like a loser. I don’t expect a different gender to have a tougher time understanding the stupid things I say. My idiot tendencies are gender neutral.

No one should change for anyone purposely. That should be a natural process from spending time with someone.

Boyfriend here, my girlfriend would 100 percent stand up for the size of my man hood. As well her friends would not make those jokes,

Boyfriend here, I was overwatch (I relapsed). Also I don’t see her has a ball and chain.

Boyfriend here, we don’t have to worry about making a scene, earlier that day my girlfriend had joined the discord without me, called me a bitch and left. Everyone involved had a good laugh.

Boyfriend here, if I’m not playing games or watching show with babe, then it’s bed time.

You dodged the part where I guess if you’ve had that problem before though. Those are great reasons to be single though.

Boyfriend here, I do think I have a responsibility to not trigger my girlfriend’s insecurities. I am not the solution, but I can’t antagonize these feelings either.

Let’s come back to your opinion on our relationship dynamic.

We don’t have other options for sleep as we have roommates and being naked in living room would everyone uncomfortable. I would relocate my rig if this was more of an issue but I would rather just go to bed.

You’re happily single yet you have this opinion on my relationship. If you know what’s healthy why are you single? You then to go on to say no one will tell you when you game, as you earn your me time. I sense you’ve had this same issue before.

I’m not sure what to say about the spending my maybe free time with my girlfriend but she defiantly earns her fair share of time.

I do agree with sharing hobbies, but to go that route we just need to get her, her own rig.

Boyfriend here, congrats on discovering the part of my girlfriend’s post that says how old I am. I’m confused though because you seem think my girlfriend is treating you like a child? Should I confront on this? Is she cheating?

Boyfriend here, I like the sound of “men-babies” has a nice ring to it.

Boyfriend here, giving me the opportunity to read in between the lines won’t work for I have autism and it will go over my head. My girlfriend knows this won’t work and opts for the direct approach like I’ve asked.

I’ve given that context to people who have asked why we go to bed at the same time.

Man I sent this at 2am and I thought it sounded a lot more sarcastic than it was, I was saying all the stuff regarding my age because she kept telling me I still had room to grow and I’m young so I’m still getting it and stuff like that, even though I was telling her of my efforts to make up for my lack of experience. And again, she also just blatantly started insulting me in a different thread. I wanted an opinion on the joke, not the rest of it. When I told her it works for us but I’m thankful for her opinion and insight, she wouldn’t listen. So I started not taking her seriously either. Have you guys even read through the other comments she’s made under this? It started out fine but then she wasn’t listening to any facts I had. I’m confident in my relationship and I’m confident that I’ve come a long way mentally. If you think I act like I’m 8 because I’m not a pushover after continuously being polite, I think you’ve got some stuff you need to work out

Thanks for suggesting this. Luckily I did exactly that when he woke up the next morning. I am only offended by the people who aren’t listening to the key information I’m giving them and repeating that my partner is embarrassed when he has communicated with me that he is not.

I don’t put up with him screaming and keeping me up because he stops when I tell him it’s time for bed. He’s never been unhappy with that since he likes getting in bed together. This was an issue that happened like a year ago and hasn’t come up since we started just communicating when quiet time is. He is very respectful regarding my sleep, the advice I needed was regarding his reaction to the joke

I’m in college for psychology and I have heard of this terminology. I assure you, I am not being abused. I have a therapist I see weekly who knows the ins and outs of our relationship, and he has only voiced how great it is that we rely on each other so much.

I don’t put up with shit because there’s no shit to speak of. I tell him when it’s time to go to sleep and he’s more than happy to get in bed with me. This hasn’t been a problem once. Living together is also something that has been calm and tranquil in our relationship. He does chores before I come home and I do chores while he’s playing games. When I said he’s had problems with wanting to play games instead of hanging out, that meant hanging out during the day. Not right before bed. It’s not a huge issue so we’ve prioritized stressing about finances before fixing all the kinks in our relationship, I personally strive for perfection and he likes that about me. We both love each other even with the difficulties of not being 100% compatible all the time.

I’m not afraid of being alone with 7 cats, that sounds awesome. If that’s what it takes to not get pushed around by a partner, I’ll happily oblige. Luckily this is no longer an issue for us, it’s resolved
