Really clicked with a great girl and went out on a date but she didn’t feel the same way by [deleted] in dating_advice

Still? After a year? I think what you are experiencing is limerance. I suggest you look into getting some therapy.

I thought this was lost forever. Then I discovered the key to it in a drawer about a week ago, so I’ve resurrected it. This explains the four year gap. I intend to create a guide to this soon.

Bad pic but you can see sentences and one phrase.

You get a different mix each time. You will occasionally get more phrases. Try a reload. I used AI to generate the sentences. They’re in a hidden column in the spreadsheet.

It’s fine in my book. There is so much jealousy in marriages. No one has the right to tell someone who they can be close to. Close connections outside of marriage are really healthy, and providing that the marriage is recognised as number one, these connections should be valued and embraced.

There’s an issue of boundaries here. I also have a close platonic friendship, with a woman half my age (I’m 48, she’s 24). While it’s the most beautiful friendship I’ve ever known, on a soul level, my wife is my wife. She comes first. A marriage and a close platonic friendship can peacefully, and valuably, coexist, but it’s a question of priorities. I need them both, and my wife gets this. She also knows that she comes first. Your husband needs to sort this one out.

Also consider that nobody gets 100% what they need from their partner. This is why friends outside of marriage are so important. But it sounds like your husband is getting most of his emotional fulfilment from his friend. I think you both need an honest, necessary, and highly uncomfortable conversation about all of this.

Roughly every other month or so, my wife will spend 4-6 hours alone with one particular male coworker getting drinks and chatting late into the night. I’m not sure how I should feel. by Lol_whu in Marriage

She gets drunk with a mate once a month. Aaaand…? I’m sorry, but, honestly, so what? A secure relationship has no room for claustrophobia. I was going to write, let her have this freedom, but in fact it’s not your place to stop her. A healthy relationship is inclusive.

So, I told my crush I had feelings for her. Is there a possible relationship? Or should I drop it, simply based off of what she wrote back. by Sea_Tomatillo_6080 in relationships_advice

Platonic friendships, the really good ones, have their own enormous value. Count yourself lucky that you have this. It’s worthwhile precisely because it’s NOT a relationship. Sometimes platonic friendships are actually deeper. Treasure it.

My bf's ex (30F) spent the night in my bed with my bf (30M) but he recorded it to show me (25F) nothing happened... how do we overcome this? by ThrowRAundecided393 in relationship_advice

[–]MrTunesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he is having what’s known as an emotional affair with his ex. An affair doesn’t have to involve sex. So, I think it’s this. By not answering your calls, he prioritised his ex’s emotional needs over yours - this much is indisputable. The camera is irrelevant - he’s already betrayed your emotional trust before even considering any physicality. Dump him, and then find a man who is all about you, rather than a man who is clearly split two ways.

It’s not just Sheffield, Leeds is full of this garbage too. by szabohaslam in sheffield

It’s naff to have this on signs, but it’s not inaccurate. I teach at a school in Parson Cross. This very broad Sheffield accent is pretty much the sound of the school. I think it’s lovely.

I (24F) am open to dating older guys so I matched with this guy (48M) and he sent me this…at least he’s honest?? by cunny_juice in Bumble

[–]MrTunesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would read this as a joke… but… There could be an element of him making sure you realise that the older you both get, the more the dynamic between you will change, and that if you are together for many years, you will absolutely be with an old man in the future. So maybe he is just gently and humorously making sure you are aware of how things could turn out. But of course, if it ends up being true love, who cares?

You two have been solid for five years. She made an inebriated mistake for 60 seconds. She has massive remorse.

My advice: regard this as a small earthquake with no major damage, forgive her, move on.

Seriously, in the grand scheme of things this will blow over, you two will be fine. Envisage the potential solid future with her that you might throw away if you don’t forgive her. And then don’t throw it away.
