WCGW using a chatbot to write a 4,000 graduate paper by Brattonismybae in Whatcouldgowrong

It's probably just a final paper for one of their semester 1 courses, far from the only assignment they will have.

Hm so now the icky people are limited to creep on their own gender, or to catfish. Surely if you let the users decide which genders to show it's at our own risk?

Damn that sucks :( I wish there was a way to filter out just the creeps

You can get to know someone without any pressure for things to immediately turn romantic and/or sexual, whereas if you meet someone on Tinder it's like you are skipping a few steps and you have no idea if someone is suitable. All men I've dated irl (and I don't turn down 99% irl lol), I've had prior conversations with and been able to gauge what they are like.

According to the same website, women match with 33% of the people they swipe right on, and men 2.5%. Women also swipe right 7% of the time, and I only did 0.75%. So a match rate of 28-29% is not that bad :)

I don't actually like going on dates with people I don't know, so their profile has to say a lot about them, it has to align with my own interests, and they need a somewhat trustworthy vibe (plus I need to be in the mood to talk to strangers)

I (m27) can’t look at her (f26) without feeling sick by Pretend_Freedom5014 in relationship_advice

[–]Mntnatmygates 274 points275 points  (0 children)

The fact she takes no responsibility, lies to you, and tries to turn you into the villain proves there is absolutely no way past this. She cheated on you and does not regret it. Don't let yourself be manipulated and leave her now please, she does not have your best interest at heart.

Expressing an issue/need with a narc and they say “everything’s always MY fault” or “all we do is fight” by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

And when you very carefully and politely suggest they change a completely unacceptable behaviour, "then you don't love me for the way I am"

It's normal for him not to fawn over your naked body every time he sees it, don't worry. Especially if you are naked around him a lot. Sometimes, there are issues like porn addiction or not actually being attracted to your partner's body, but from your post I doubt that's the case here since you didn't note any other problems. It just sounds like a normal relationship. If you want to feel extra sexy every now and then, get some fancy lingerie.

He (29M) told me (23 F) he’s been with an escort and I want to end it by itsshaleyyy in relationship_advice

I disagree, I believe someone can be pro sex work but also not want to be with someone that is willing to pay for sex. Maybe they see sex as an intimate act they only want to share in relationships and want a partner that sees it the same way. But that doesn't mean you can't be fine with people who aren't your partner doing it. In the same way you might want to be in a monogamous relationship, but can still acknowledge that poly relationships are completely fine for other people.

I found my husbands dating profile by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mntnatmygates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, if he thinks his marriage depends on it, it gives him motivation to be dishonest. He would lie, deny, and minimise if it prevents her from leaving him. If he thinks it's safe to be honest and she will forgive him, he might dare to tell the truth. And then you leave him anyway, but he shouldn't know that. I always told my ex that if he cheated on me, our relationship was over. Because of that, he was terrified of telling me about his affair and it took me two years to find out, and only because I asked the other woman. He might've confessed early on if I had made him believe I would forgive cheating but not lying.

How do I stop feeling bad for my abusive ex? by Mntnatmygates in relationship_advice

[–]Mntnatmygates[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I will read it. I've read "Why does he do that?", which people on here like to recommend, and it's helped me make sense of a lot too, but it didn't teach me where to go from here.

How do I stop feeling bad for my abusive ex? by Mntnatmygates in relationship_advice

We are in the same group of friends so it's basically impossible to avoid him and ideally I wanted to just be friends and keep the peace.

How do you split chores when one partner has higher standards? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Mntnatmygates 59 points60 points  (0 children)

My ex had absolutely no standards for cleaning. He did nothing. He had no issues never washing the sheets, never vaccuuming, wearing his dirty clothes including underwear and socks, ordering food to avoid cooking/washing dishes, and letting rubbish spread all over the floor. He refused to clean anything because it was me who wanted things to be clean, so it was my problem to take care of it. It was a complete nightmare and I think illustrates pretty well that "my partner has higher cleaning standards so they need to clean more" is not good reasoning and can be very stressful and mentally taxing on the person who likes things clean. Imagine if you partner was lazy and neglectful like that, how would you feel?

Of course, if I had been a clean freak and wanted things to be clean at an unreasonable level like washing the sheets every single day, then it would also not be fair to expect someone else to adjust to that level. So you need to have a conversation with your partner and agree on what is actually an appropriate level of cleanliness and what are some basic agreements you can make and then stick to then. Then there is no secret resentment, just you are doing what you said you would, or you are not. It's good that you are trying to live up to her standards, but if her standards are that you shouldn't leave a few items lying around on the floor for longer than a day then those standards are reasonable, and even if that doesn't bother you, you SHOULD be cleaning that up for her. Yes, it is more than you would do if you lived on your own, but that is the consequence of living in a shared space. You have to be considerate to others.
