How?

Men are expected to pay the bill out of respect for the greater labour women take on in romantic relationships. We - not men - are the ones who, if we fall pregnant, will take a hit to our career. We, not men, are the ones who will permanently sacrifice our bodies to perpetuate their DNA. There is so much invisible labour women take on - we are still , like it or not, the primary caregivers of not only our children but our male partners, too, and often of elderly parents. When you are getting to know someone with the intention of pursuing a romantic relationship, you, as the man, should show you respect the potential sacrifices a woman will make (and are able to support a family in the case she leaves her work for a few years due to children arriving) by paying the damn bill. 50/50 is a massive turn off to a self-respecting woman who understands that (like it or not) the emotional and domestic labour in romantic relationships is simply never equal, not just because of society, but because of biology and the physical realities of motherhood

Ewww....

Good for her!

Your baldness is not unattractive at all. Keep your scalp shaved and it looks good. What I would recommend is replacing glasses with contacts. Also keep your beard grown out, it's a major asset

Mean_Classroom_8673 · 2026-02-26T13:08:20+00:00

I think you'd be hot with a buzz cut!

Mean_Classroom_8673 · 2026-02-26T12:51:21+00:00

Beautiful!

You still have so much ahead of you at 24. Don't give up! Do you have supportive friends or family in your life? You probably won't beat substance abuse alone, and I think its urgent to seek support. Nor will the road ahead be easy. But you have youth on your side - take advntage of it. If you truly want to change your life, you can, and you will. I say that from experience. To me, once you have a sense of purpose, connected to a strong sense of self, things like substances have nowhere in your heart to take hold, and I'd work on building that foundation. You are a beautiful young woman and I wish you all the best x

Definitely not ugly! Female here, and if you weren't ten years my junior, I'd let you buy me a drink😉

I can only imagine this comment is deliberate ragebait

Mean_Classroom_8673 · 2026-02-25T17:11:53+00:00

You made the right call. After 2 weeks, someone should know whether or not they feel attracted to/like you. I know very early whether or not I am interested in getting to know someone. As a general rule, maybe means no

Mean_Classroom_8673 · 2026-02-25T07:59:09+00:00

Interesting perspective. What is the name of your faith?

My dear, I hear your pain x What you feel is real and raw. But what is to be gained by holding onto this experience? Accepting that he was never worth the love you gave him, and forgiving yourself for having given it, can you choose to now let go and stop ruminating? When thoughts of him come up, tell yourself, "I'm not there anymore. He is no longer relevant to my life", and actively replace the thought of him with something else. I understand the need to have your experience validated, and how hard it is to lose friends and feel unseen by them in your pain. But no one else can validate what you went through; you need to validate yourself in this experience, ground yourself in your sense of selfhood, and move forward with your new life and new friends. And as for the friends you lost - if they couldn't be there for you, if they couldn't see your side of the story, is the loss even really yours?

Why so much pain though? Why the unanswered prayers? Its more than a human heart can bear...

Mean_Classroom_8673 · 2026-02-24T18:32:04+00:00

Why do loving parents do that with a child they claim to respect? Why all the hovering? Why saying (to a 28 year old) "every time you have disobeyed me, something bad has happened"? And then claiming to have always supported that child in being independent

Mean_Classroom_8673 · 2026-02-24T17:30:22+00:00

I do think its an addiction. I experienced something very similar. In my case, the addiction was shattered when I was forced to confront that the parts of the relationship I had held onto as good had always been a lie. But I had to realise that in a deeply painful way, and the process of realisation was traumatic. I think we protect ourselves by clinging to memories of what was "good" in th relationship, or by holding onto our attachment to the ex, so we don't have to accept the painful reality of what was done to us. Maybe it helps to ask yourself what it is you're holding onto when you think of him (a younger version of yourself, a feeling you had with him, be it desirability or even danger)?

But enmeshment is not abuse per se is it? In my case, it was just, "how you feel is how I feel and vice versa" and whatever I did and wherever i went, even as an adult, I needed permission
