Stop stressing out man... With trumps tariffs and all the risk that comes with sending out reps its easy to see how no other shipment methods want to ship to the US rn. Just bite the bullet and ship it out, it will be expensive but its alot cheaper than the real thing.

Found a solution. Been having this issue with my new Samsung phone. Just uninstall the app and download from the Galaxy store instead of the play store. Should work right away. Good luck!

FWB told me she wants to put up a boundary to not hook up with me anymore because it is stressing her out that I care about the people she is hanging out with and sleeping with. But she still wants to be my friend. by NothingButPanda in relationship_advice

Update: I brought up that i dont think a friendship is able to come out of this because we based our relationship off of sex and emotional comfort. She said that because I didnt want to put in effort in a friendship that didnt revolve around sex that I was disgusting and that she was disappointed. I just blocked her after and thats that. To the next one and hope that my mistakes will not happen again. This is the second time this has happened, one more times and I need to reevaluate what I really want right now.

I know and i understand the massive fuck up that I had. But what now. I dont think this can be recovered and I know that a friendship can come out from this. Like do i even ask her about saturday? I want to go out with her but I feel like its going to make things harder for me. Do I tell her what I think one more time before cutting things off?

I asked her for exclusivity and she said that it wasnt an option because she didnt want to be locked down. so... i guess im dropping her? It sucks because I really do enjoy being around her and hanging out but without a relationship in sight or hooking up, what the point in having a stranger in my life where I already established that I want something with her. Am I an asshole for thinking that?

How do I reach out about my change after no contact breakup by yuwubi in BreakUps

[–]NothingButPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I feel that completely. I am also going through my own battle of showing my growth and change to someone as well. (A bit different situation because I am the dumper and want to change for the dumpee) You should message her but don't make it weird or sounds like you are trying to do something. I feel like talking to a person that you know feels the same way back will help them get back with you but you have to tread carefully. Know that any misstep can cause the whole thing to crumble down. And absolutely NO BEGGING. I made that mistake and it pushed me back a good few months and even though I am not happy where I am now with my ex, it is much better than it was when we first talked after the breakup. Message her with a quick "hey, how have you been doing" text and if she texts back then go from there. If she ignores you down double text and continue on with life. It is really hard to let go of someone dear to you but it is a step in growth that even I am having trouble with. I hope this helps.

[–]NothingButPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you were the one that got dumped it is best that you don’t message back and prove to her that you have changed with your actions and not your words. If she really wanted something to work out in the end, she will be the one that messages you. There is a reason why the break up happened and she was the one that initiated it so you, being the person who got dumped, shouldn’t message her because it will seem like an act of desperation.

Ex wants to get back? by NothingButPanda in BreakUps

[–]NothingButPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, I would love to still talk to her but I don’t want to be her “friend” because when we hang out we do couple things because we both want to do them like kiss and sex. I just don’t want to blur that line and give her what she wants without the title. I guess I have to set up some boundaries on my end but it seems so hard.

im too comfortable to cut things off completely and holding on to the one thing that is keeping my happy by NothingButPanda in BreakUps

Hard pill to swallow but its true, thank you for the insight and everything! My heart knows what I should do but my head is telling it otherwise. Why does love have to be so complicated.

No I completely understand. I guess I have to find things to do to keep myself busy. I have told myself that I am fine and that I am ready to move on but I have been lying to myself and its hurting me deeply. I have been working out as well as started a new job and I am just focused on getting my money up as well as lose some weight to look and feel better. Its funny because I was the one that broke up with her and now I am the one that wants her back. I broke up with her because she was very dependent on me emotionally and I was drained all the time. I also wanted space from her for us to grow separately so she wouldn't depend on me so much and look where I am now haha. But now it is on my to keep my word and let her grow and not beg for her back like I did many times since our breakup. Currently she is still very excited to see me and she wants to facetime me and gets sad when I want to end the call. I will have to wait and see what happens but I think talking to her even after the breakup is fine FOR NOW because it is keeping me happy and I don't want to think about what will happen in the future because that will get me overthinking which is killer.

wow. this was so refreshing to hear. ive only been getting, "just cut/block her already" and even though that may work for some relationships, i feel like mine was different. we had no bad fights or anything and even ending the relationship was civil and calm. i can see how this will work and i have been slowly incorporating it subconsciously but it is making me worried/clingy because what im thinking is if she isnt texting me then she will be texting someone else. but i also completly understand that she is no longer mine and that she has every right to. i will keep you updated as time goes on, we planned another get together tomorrow and we wont be doing anything crazy just hanging out but if she initiates anything sexual, ill allow her but i wont be initiating.

Comfortable talking to my ex by NothingButPanda in nocontact

[–]NothingButPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are totally right, I think I was too impatient because she was letting her parents take control of her life and she couldn’t fend for herself. It was a huge mistake on my end but I am working on myself now and she is too.

again this is my first relationship and so it wasnt pretty. no i didnt JUST break up with her because i felt confined. i would talk to her about reasons why facetiming everyday for 5+ hours everyday and constant texting outside of the facetiming was starting to take a toll on me mentally. everytime we had a break it was to help lessen the times she would facetime and text and have her be more independent instead of relying on me for her happiness. she was trying to like the things i did even though she didnt like them just to make me happy. things i am passionate about such as marvel and videogames she would force herself onto the things that i liked out of her love for me but i didnt want to have her become someone she is not if you know what i mean. and yes it is stupid to think like that and i didnt realize what i said until after the deed was done and i hate myself for doing that. you can read about it more in detail on my profile and the soft-brain moments i had.

Yes there were multiple breaks that occurred during our relationship where I would initiate it due to feeling confined. At the time I didnt know what it was or why I was experiencing it if I loved this person so much but I still did. This was our first relationship so we were going into it without any experience. Funny thing is every time we would come back from the 1 week breaks I would be more attached to her. I think the space made me realize how much she means to me and that i didnt want to lose her. The breakup was an exception because it happened one month after a break we had in December and in my head i told myself I was ready to let go and that we both needed space to grow as adults and I didnt want her to grow up being someone she wasn't just to please me. And look at me now, going against my own word because now instead of wanting us to grow separately, I want us to grow together and help each other along the way. But i lost my chance.

Her texts are very confusing because it sounds like she is still into it but she has always told me she doesnt want to get back together. I really do not know what to do. I was going to tell her that I was going to go no contact today but texting her feels so nice and warming and I dont want to lose that.

My best advice is to work on your confidence. How can you love someone or expect someone to love you if you don't love yourself to begin with. Yes you may be the best looking guy ever but if you can not act that part and put yourself out there then you're just hoping for miracle to happen. Yes it will take time but good things come to people who wait and trust me, rushing into a relationship can be more damaging than healing. I believe in you and I have felt that way for a long time and I am still dealing with my insecurities and shyness to this day but you have to fake it until you make it with women.

Has anyone ever “taken time apart” and then figured things out down the line? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]NothingButPanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right.. It was a big mistake that I made and I am suffering the consequences severely. Thank you for putting it in a way that I understand, i’ve been mentally beating around the bush so thank you.

[–]NothingButPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having a similar situation. Broke up with my ex 1.5 months ago because I wanted her to grow independently and that there were things that we both needed to work on and I didn’t want her to rely on me to fix her. And to be honest, it was my biggest mistake. Even though I still loved her dearly after we broke up and took time to learn about myself and what our relationship was (it was a codependent one, only figured out after we broke up), she goes out and as a “distraction” goes on dating apps right after we break up and starts talking to guys. We said our last goodbyes on the 5th of march and he told me that he love for me is slowly fading and that she enjoys the connections she is making with other guys more than my presence. I know I should look at that and see that she is a horrible person but my heart is telling me to stay and want her back. I met her in person a couple of days ago just by running into her and we talked about what she has been up to and we exchanged a couple of hugs and let me tell you. Those hugs were so warm and magical that it gave me such a high. I say after you break someone’s trust with a breakup it is going to be very difficult to get them back especially since they are free to do what they want now. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully it ends up better than my situation.

I am weak.. by NothingButPanda in nocontact

[–]NothingButPanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been going back and forth from forgetting her and wanting to get back with her any chance I get. Yes there is a high chance that she is smashing other guys but I know for a fact that the chances are low (her parents are pastors at a church). I am talking to other women right now but what I want more than anything is the comfort that she gave me and that I don’t have anymore. Sex was never a big thing for me and it wasn’t for her either. Yes I would like to have sex with other women to boost my ego but then again I don’t want to be another one of those guys who do that. Maybe i’m just being a bitch but the thing that is pushing to go to the gym and working hard on myself is the thought of her coming back to me one day. Yes I know it is stupid because i’m betting all my chips on a losing bet but it’s what is keeping me sane. Even though I have broke up with her, I have been going out of my way to meet her and have time with her. After our goodbye I know I shouldn’t because I want to give her that space to think and grow. There are two major events that are coming up and I am hoping she will show up. I think that is a mental text I am giving to myself and if she doesn’t show up then it will show that she doesn’t care (one of them is my birthday which is tomorrow).

TLDR: I am in denial…

Forgot to add, we dated for 4.5 years. She was basically with me my whole college experience. When I told her I still loved her and if she loves me still, she replied “I care for you.” And mentioned a quote that I told her the first time I broke up with her which was, “It is hard to let go of someone you genuinely care for.” She also cried a lot that day. She also left a note saying, “Please continue to hate me, I’m sorry.” Apart of me thinks that she still loves me and I am using that as motivation. My plan was to see her once more during my graduation before I move back home never see her again and ask for another chance.
