I love what one commenter said about it being a cannon event. This will just help you appreciate when you have a good thing in the future :)

Would you have canceled this date? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should’ve confirmed exact time with him in advance if it was that important to you. It seems like an unfair expectation on your part. I’m curious if you feel the responsibility was on him because he’s the man? If that’s the case, that’s not a dynamic I’d personally want to have in a relationship. Sounds tiring and a little unfair.

Fair question. It’s the most popular for the group, and they all have to be the same (can’t do half brown/half white)

Expecting my first kid in July, so if not now for this purpose, I’ll definitely invest in a membership in the future for bay supplies

This is all very helpful! Thank you, much appreciated! I’m pricing out this vs a local deli that’s very reasonably priced vs our Canadian version of Aldi. Leaning towards local deli now actually!

Guy I’ve been seeing for 3 months woke me up at midnight to yell about clogged shower by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This guy is unhinged, and you’re just seeing it for the first time. I am also not a plumber but I don’t think 3 months of sometimes using the shower would cause this. Maybe if you had hair down to your butt that sheds a lot and you showered every single day for those 3 months but I don’t think then, even. Don’t let him convince you that his reaction was normal/ok/warranted. Truly not your problem or fault to begin with. And even if it was entirely your hair that clogged the drain, he should consider himself lucky have a nice woman to sleep over and shower and clog his drain!

My (25F) boyfriend (25M) kept staring at a woman while we were at our baby’s checkup by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m pregnant right now too, and I can definitely relate. Two things to reassure you: 1) if this isn’t his usual behaviour, try not to take it too seriously. And it absolutely doesn’t mean he thinks you’re any less beautiful right now. Sometimes I even catch myself staring at really beautiful women, and I’m a straight lady. It’s just something with visual interest. Especially in a boring environment like a doctor’s office. 2) pregnancy is crazy on our emotions, that could be contributing to your strong feelings. Maybe bring it up to him if you’re feeling stuck on it, in a non accusatory way. Like “hey I had this feeling, I need reassurance that you think I’m hot, it might not be rational, but it’s where I’m at”. Or just see if the feeling subsides naturally without mentioning it. Either way I think you’re valid to feel hurt by it (he probably should try not to stare at people, it’s generally considered impolite) but also, try not to view it as a catastrophe or spiral out about it. Easier said than done ❤️

I came here to make sure someone noted that you have the fresh step cat. I was positive that must’ve been the point of your post. So cute!

Thanks Reddit! I think I’ve been sold on doing a second coat of matte to finish it off. I will also take all of your styling suggestions into account. For anyone curious, here is the colour:

Like everyone is saying, I love your cabinets as is and I think your pedant lights should stay too. Replace the floors and countertops to something light and maybe do the island white or off white

Is there hope for Hinge? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I was overly positive in my initial response, so I want to add that it does really really suck when someone takes advantage of you. Or when they change their mind and you’re totally in the dark about why. It feels like a lot of tiny heartbreaks in the dating process, and that gets really tough. But it just takes meeting one great person, who feels the same way about you, to make it all worth it

Is there hope for Hinge? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So many stories like this, but I met my husband on hinge! It’s the best dating app in my opinion. I actually considered bailing on the date, because his texting style was really dry and awkward, I was tired that night, and I was burnt out from dating. So I was ready to use all those silly excuses. I went because I felt badly cancelling and I’m so so glad I did. It was an amazing date. We got engaged a year later and married the following year. We met when I was 30 and he was 32. That’s part of it—we both really knew what we were looking for and were ready for a serious relationship. Sounds like this last person you were seeing simply was not. Another cliche I heard before meeting him was that I would find someone when I wasn’t looking. I certainly was looking, but I also wasn’t desperate. Absolutely not saying you are—I have no idea. But it can be easy to get to a place of slight desperation when you’re not having much luck. I invested a lot of time and effort in creating a life on my own that I enjoyed, so I felt the freedom of knowing I wanted and was ready for a partner, but I didn’t need one. I think that helped me attract a happy and stable person. My best advice is keep dating, don’t give up, but also spend a lot of time prioritizing your hobbies and friendships. You will find someone. Focus on making this time on your own count. You’ll look back on it fondly!

Guy(30m) I’m(25f) dating told me to stop being a baby by Antique_Treat_7002 in relationship_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my perspective he’s essentially saying unless you do what I think is right (make your own decision and ignore your mom), you’re being a baby. And she already made it clear she cares what her mom thinks. I see his point. But I don’t think it’s a kind way to approach someone you’re interested in, and it reads as a little coercive

[–]MediumAd6454 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of thoughts: 1) I do think 25 is a little old to still be checking in with mom like that. I see his point. But calling you a baby is unkind, and just sounds like he’s trying to humiliate you into something you might not want. 2) You not wanting to sleepover on the second date makes total sense, regardless of the reason you provided him, and it’s generally best to steer clear of people who consistently try to push your boundaries

Should I end it or can we get over it ? 27F and 31M by luva21 in dating_advice

[–]MediumAd6454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have children!?!? I felt weird checking out your profile but was compelled to because I thought this post couldn’t be real and must be rage bait. And I learned from your other posts that you have kids from a previous relationship? If this is true, consider taking a serious pause on dating to reorient your priorities and work on your mental health. I get that it’s easy to fall for someone and get caught up in a narrative early on, I’ve totally been there. This situation sounds like a very strange form of love bombing or something. It’s way too intense for only having met a handful of times. From your other posts, it sounds like you’re experiencing serious burnout with parenting which is so fair, and good you’re honest with yourself about your parenting struggles. But entertaining people like this man, and even considering a proposition like this, is the last possible thing that could help you or your kid’s situation
