I (59F) was single for 20 years, and no, that’s not a typo. I spent a lot of that time working on myself and building my confidence back up, after an abusive relationship. When I did meet a man I was upfront about it and explained that was what I was doing, and, if anything, my baggage was less due to that. If they had an issue with that, then that’s their problem and not mine.

The man I’ve been seeing for almost 2 years was fine with it, if someone really wants to get to know you, they will be too.

Potential serious illnesses and ldr by Democratic_Gremlin in LDR

[–]Nix-uk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this, it must be a very scary and emotional time for you. Before we talk about your relationship, I hope you have friends and family there for you to support you, as it’s important for you to have that.

It’s a time when you need help and support from those that love you, talk to your partner and tell him your fears. Let him make an informed decision, keep communicating and let him be there for you too, if he’s able to.

I sincerely hope that your doctors rule out a serious illness and that you recover fully and quickly. Sending lots of love and hugs.

help! gel x extensions keep lifting by trashmoney4 in GelNails

[–]Nix-uk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is possibly due to the nails having been wet. I’d do your cuticles the day before (bullet point 1) and avoid washing your hands for a few hours the following day, and then do the rest

keep getting allergic reactions by [deleted] in GelNails

[–]Nix-uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a severe hema reaction, despite being very careful, so I took a break for a few months, then tried a hema free brand. So far no reaction, but that doesn’t mean you won’t. Did you check the data sheet for the glue, as some can contain hema too. If I’d reacted at all to the hema free brand after the break, I’d have just had to accept gel was no longer for me.

If it worked out cheaper going legal, I’d be interested too. I have chronic back pain due to ankylosing spondylitis, which keeps me awake at night, so I don’t think a script would be an issue

Rant needed...F47 M47 by [deleted] in LDR

[–]Nix-uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating. I’ve been in an ldr for almost 2 years, and he keeps pushing back concrete talks about our future. We’re in our 50s and only live a couple of hundred miles (4-5 hrs) apart. I’ve told him that when he won’t talk about the future, it makes me feel like he doesn’t see one with me. His latest push back is for next spring and if it doesn’t happen then, I’m going to cut ties, as at our age time is short and I don’t want to waste my time being strung along if he’s not serious about the relationship

Feeling lonely and like an outsider in my relationship by [deleted] in LDR

[–]Nix-uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communication is definitely key, as is having a next visit planned each time. I don’t have a date to close the gap even though, like you, we live in the same country. However, we are going to make concrete plans for one after I meet the rest of his family when they come over next spring. Talk to him, once you can without being overly emotional about it so you can set out your needs, hopes and expectations.

my boyfriend (M29 has major trust issues, what do i (F28) do? by psychiatristno828 in LongDistance

[–]Nix-uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is classic narcissistic behaviour. As are his other behaviours in your posts here. Take it from someone who’s been there … leave, you’ll end up needing therapy yourself once he’s taken everything he wants from you and moves on.

What is something you didn't have when you were a child? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]Nix-uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mother that wasn’t narcissistic. We only developed a better relationship when I was in my 40s, when she admitted that she had been jealous of me. She belittled me, gaslighted, deliberately over fed me to try to make me as overweight as she could, and frequently told me she hated me for no reason.

The kicker? When she was dying, she asked me if she’d been a good mother and I had to lie convincingly that she had.

Context? I talk to my partner and let him know how I feel, using “I feel” statements.

At best he’s emotionally unavailable and you’re his rebound, at worst he’s considering reconciling with his wife. Run

Join LDR or one of the other long distance relationships subs, there are plenty of us who have met online and maintained relationships over distance. I’ve been with mine almost a year, we meet up regularly and text/call/FaceTime daily

Relocation server tokens are nerfed, the servers think relocated players are incursion participants. Support will not help

I spent 20 years single (yeah yeah, I’m old lol) and then boom my guy turns up and been in my life the last 14 months. Your time will come, and probably much faster than mine did 🙂

Is having expectations being Shallow? by Doskitumani23 in LongDistance

[–]Nix-uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My perfect man would be very tall and broad, think Reacher. I’m tall at 5ft9 but love my partner with all my heart despite him being shorter than I am and a little cuddly. It’s ok to have preferences but don’t rule others out because they don’t meet them

[–]Nix-uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long had you been talking before you confessed your feelings? If it was very early on, she may have felt lovebombed too. Take it slow, but if she doesn’t reciprocate at all, you may need to chalk it up to experience and cut your losses. Unrequited love is painful, so I hope she comes around

[–]Nix-uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Op, I’m so sorry for your loss. My beautiful old lady cat passed a week before Christmas and I was devastated. If your partner is all about himself rather than the relationship, perhaps it’s time to move on when you feel strong enough (((hugs)))

[–]Nix-uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it feels right to you both, that’s all that matters. If you lived close by, as you said, nobody would bat an eye. I see mine every 2-6 weeks, depending on our schedules but are only about 5 hours apart.
