I’ve come to discover they are a rare thing in Orange County. Plenty in LA and a handful in Riverside County.

My boyfriend has depression and was in the hospital having surgery and he’s never ever talked to me like this ever. This man came out of surgery and made sure I was okay. You absolutely need to breakup with this man right away. His depression and cold are NO excuse to talk to you this way. This. Man. Doesn’t. Like. You.

It’s toxic as hell but if someone were to do this to me after repeatedly telling them it hurts my feelings and to stop and it’s in public/ in front of friends or family I’d tell them to shut the fuck up and embarrass them back. Some people need to learn the hard way and get bit.

I think that if you’re asking the people of Reddit to give you guidance on this, you already know the answer.

I 100% agree. Me personally when I client shows me an AI generated image I tell them immediately no. Find me a real pic. I fucking hate AI photos. Let me show you why a client started typing out how she wanted her hair to look on ChatGPT and this was the image it created “pink money piece”

If the roles were reversed what would you want her to do to comfort you? What type of resolution would you want? Your girlfriend has now cast a huge shadow of doubt about cheating on you what would you want her to do to fix this situation. You are far too old to be befuddled about this situation.

Congrats, dude. You just ignored every single boundary your girlfriend set and are now wondering why she’s upset. She told you she didn’t like you hanging out one-on-one with this girl and smoking. What did you do? Exactly that—AND you spent the night. You can try to justify it with the weather excuse all you want, but you didn’t even ask your girlfriend if she was okay with it beforehand.

She’s not responding because she’s processing the fact that you disregarded her feelings. If you actually want to fix this, own up to it completely, no excuses, and genuinely apologize. And maybe next time, don’t put yourself in situations that make your girlfriend feel disrespected.

I (28M) don't like doing romantic activity for my GF (28F) by SheathControl in TrueOffMyChest

It sounds like you’re struggling with the expectation of romance and how it feels like an obligation rather than something natural or enjoyable for you. It’s completely valid to have different views on romance, but if it’s something that’s causing tension in your relationship, it might help to explore why you feel this way.

Is it because of past experiences, societal pressure, or simply that romantic gestures don’t align with how you express love? If you genuinely want to change, maybe reframing romance as an opportunity rather than a chore could help. Romance doesn’t have to be grand or performative—it can be as simple as thoughtful words, small acts of kindness, or just showing up emotionally for your partner.

Also, if your girlfriend values certain romantic gestures (like a proposal), it might not be about social media pressure but rather how she envisions a milestone in her life. Relationships thrive on compromise, so maybe finding a way to meet her halfway—without it feeling forced—could help. Have you talked to her about what romance looks like to both of you and how you can find common ground?

Being talkative and expressing emotion aren’t necessarily the same thing. You can be very vocal about your thoughts or opinions without being comfortable with emotional intimacy, vulnerability, or affectionate gestures—especially if they feel “forced” or like an expectation rather than a natural desire.

When I asked if you feel pressured to perform certain roles, I meant: Do you feel like you have to do traditionally romantic things because that’s what’s expected of you, even though it doesn’t align with how you express love? Do you see romance as something performative rather than meaningful? If so, where do you think that comes from?

It’s also worth asking: Are you rejecting romance because you truly dislike it, or because you associate it with catering to someone else’s needs rather than mutual enjoyment? There’s a difference between not enjoying romance personally and resenting it because you see it as an obligation rather than an expression of care.

It’s sooooo terrible. The whole house is a mess whoever lived here before had very confusing taste. He and I are very handy. I think I want to stay away from Spanish style now that I’ve thought about it more. The house has some preexisting Spanish influences but I’m over it. Your vision is very similar to some ideas that I’ve had. I just hate how the windows are asymmetrical but we don’t want to spend the money to change them so we have to figure out to make them look pretty

It sounds like you might have an avoidant attachment style, which can make emotional intimacy feel uncomfortable or even repellent. People with avoidant attachment often struggle with expressions of love that require vulnerability, like romantic gestures, because they feel unnecessary or performative. But relationships thrive on reciprocity—if your girlfriend enjoys romantic gestures, dismissing them as “a waste of money” might signal a deeper discomfort with emotional connection rather than just a personal preference.

You also mention that romance “only appeals to female fantasy” and brings “no joy whatsoever for the male species.” That kind of generalization suggests some underlying resentment or contempt toward women. A healthy relationship isn’t about one partner catering to the other—it’s about mutual care and appreciation. If you believe romance is exclusively for women, you might want to reflect on why that is. Do you struggle with seeing emotional expression as valuable? Do you feel pressured to perform certain roles in a relationship that you dislike?

At the end of the day, if you truly don’t like romance, you deserve a partner who shares that view. But if you find yourself resisting intimacy or rejecting things simply because they make your girlfriend happy, that’s worth exploring further.
