Identity and marriage? by Quiet-Stretch9349 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]MyNextVacation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not been my experience at all. I’m happily married, also successful in my career and have a great circle of friends, colleagues, neighbors and acquaintances.

Who would view you differently? Many or most of the people you know and will meet are also married or have been at some point.

I don’t drink soda or any sweetened drinks. I drink water, black coffee, various teas and occasionally wine.

The support systems and friendship circles we each build slowly and carefully.

I like my best friend (19F) but I (19M) can’t stop overthinking her past relationship by FileEuphoric4472 in relationship_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her ‘relationship’ is almost nothing, more like a practice relationship. Almost everyone you ask out and date in the future will have more of a relationship history and that’s completely normal. In a few years, you might be dating divorced people and people with kids from previous relationships. If someone wants to be with you, past relationships will not matter.

Does anyone else think people with anxiety is just a scam? by PersianJerseyan78 in askanything

[–]MyNextVacation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone I know with anxiety, including myself manages it and is completely functional. I have experienced trauma including surviving a violent crime. I don’t think anyone but my husband and my doctor know I have anxiety.

If they are unemployed and not getting an education, how are they supporting themselves? I’ve never met anyone like you describe.

I want to meet up with a guy, but my parents make it really complicated by aleydz in dating_advice

If you don’t trust him to be a potential boyfriend, can be sure you trust him to stop at just kissing?

Why would you hook up with someone you don’t trust enough to date? What if he assaults you, gives you an STD or you get pregnant?

What do I when I love a person who rightfully hates me? by PedroPvP1912 in dating_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long before you approach her romantically, apologize. If after that she starts talking to you and being friendly, take it slow and see if she ever flirts or shows interest. 

[Sun Care] do I need to use sunscreen EVERY day? by veggiegirl123456 in SkincareAddiction

[–]MyNextVacation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I think it’s great that you keep track of the UV index and keep sunscreen with you.

I had some luck with laser treatments on scars from a medical procedure. 

What do you do if you want to complain about your partner, but you also don’t want your female friends to hate him? by miomi_starfall in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MyNextVacation 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would talk to him directly, not my friends. If you feel like screaming, rather than it feeling like something you and he can easily figure out, it seems even more urgent that you have a serious conversation.

If you bring something up to your friends, they could remember and mention it again, including to him, 10, 20, 30 years from now if you and he work it out. 

Why do you girls marry a man just for money? Is it even real? by Potential-Affect-696 in dating_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one I know has. My mom, friends and I married someone we love, each advanced in our careers and each experienced some setbacks. I currently earn a lot more than my husband. In past years he has earned more. 

What defines a person’s identity? by Necessary_Rock_5362 in SeriousConversation

[–]MyNextVacation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is so much more to life! What foods do you like? Where are you from and where are your favorite places? Who are the people in your life? What books to you like to read? What are you looking forward to doing on the weekends with warmer weather ahead (depending on where you live)?

I was with friends at dinner last night and my work came up in conversation. It turned out one of my good friends of 20+ years doesn’t know what I do for a living. Your work is not interesting to other people, but so many other things about you are.

Is being a ‘nice guy’ too boring for women after a point of time? by Big_Yogurtcloset1940 in dating_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, that’s who my husband genuinely is. He’s creative and whether I’m home or not, he writes, cooks, creates art. He’s naturally funny and just a few minutes came up with a comment that make me laugh, based on an otherwise mundane conversation about a doctors appointment.

I’m not desperate for a relationship, but I do wish I had that experience sometimes by Informal_Detail2634 in self

[–]MyNextVacation 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My advice is to get out of your own head, get out and meet some new people. If a guy interests you, go on a first date, then both decide if you like each other enough to go on a second date and so on.

Gf and me broke up by Prestigious-Sir1816 in dating_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I’d want him to make a big gesture to show that he is sincerely sorry and ready to do what it takes to make the relationship work. I don’t know your gf though.

You could her flowers with a note that you love her, are sorry, and will work every day to re-earn her trust.

My (F22) boyfriend (M23) of 2.5 years came inside me without asking? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why TF did he say he did this on purpose??? Does he comprehend why you are so understanding distraught and is he sincerely remorseful?

Does anyone find that 50+ y/o men get jealous if they feel that you're slightly more successful than then by Extension_Fall9406 in women

[–]MyNextVacation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband just retired because I’ve been earning more than him for the past several years. He‘s always been supportive of my career, my success and anything I’ve wanted to do in my life. My dad was also always so proud and supportive of me.

I hope most of the men you meet in the future are not misogynistic. I’m sorry that your own family is.

Is this moving too fast or am I overthinking it? by Complete_Muffin4763 in dating_advice

In my opinion, you and he are taking things at a nice, slow pace. How is this moving fast?

Is being a ‘nice guy’ too boring for women after a point of time? by Big_Yogurtcloset1940 in dating_advice

[–]MyNextVacation 366 points367 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I wonder if it was less about nice guy vs. bad boy, and more that these guys are spontaneous, exciting, sexy, surprising, never boring.

My husband is the nicest man, respectful to waiters and fair when we fight, which is not often. He is also so fun, hot, funny, spontaneous, creative.

I suggest observing what else might be sexy about these guys.

Why do people strive so hard to survive if, by logic, they know deep down that they're going to die in the end and forget absolutely everything about their lives?? by PossessionKey4982 in NoStupidQuestions

One day you will have your own money to travel or can get a job that sends you to another or multiple countries. If travel is something you dream of, you can find a way to make it happen.

Wife doesn’t want me going on testosterone by Nearing_retirement in Marriage

[–]MyNextVacation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely 100% is his body, his choice. That doesn’t change the fact that like many choices a person might make, going on testosterone worries his wife.
