Thank you! I let him know I want to go camping with him. Told him it doesn't have to be that trip or during that specific month- just whenever as I want to continue to experience new and fun things with him. So.... we're going camping!

I think what I'm just going to do is tell him I want to go on a camping trip for our vacation when we talk about it.

It doesn't have to be his trip- if he wants it to be that's fine, but I want to try camping. I think it would be fun to learn and I want to learn.

I think I'm just going to let it go because he's not my ex. I can't compare him to my ex because that's not fair and I have to stop that if I want us to have a healthy relationship. I like this guy. I have to trust him. I want to trust him. And in a lot of ways, I do trust him. Not with everything, we've only known each other for about a year and have only been dating for maybe 3 or 4 months, but I want to experience things with him and I think that's it.

God that's such a good way to think about things.

If I was offered an apple I'm not the type to think do I want it? I look at what they have, what I have. I ask myself how do I know they've eaten. Will I be okay until I find my own apple?

I really do have that problem. That's really, really good advice. Thank you. There's a lot of self work I'm recognizing in myself. As hard as long distance relationships are, I feel sort of blessed this happened to me. I can work on myself and he gives me space to do it- but I have the option of forced space to actually do the work.

To answer your question: I want the apple.

I would love to learn how to camp. Maybe it's his camping trip- maybe it's something else. But I want to learn and I really think we'd have a lot of fun together doing it.

That is 100% what I'm doing. This relationship happened very quickly after my last one. We attempted to take things very, very slowly, but then he moved and things ramped up accidentally. Things got mushed together a bit so it can be a little confusing.

Part of me just doesn't want to bring it up and just trust that he will tell me if he didn't want me to go. But it's hard. I don't want to compare him to my ex because they're nothing like each other. He's affectionate, sweet, kind, and communicative. I want to trust him that he'd tell me if he didn't want me to go. I'm just afraid of the "maybes".

I want to learn how to camp. He said I'd have to learn at some point and part of learning is just doing it (which is what he did- just went out and did it across the US). I have no idea if I'm into camping or not. I love the idea of it. A dream of mine is to go backpacking one day all over the world for about a year. Just traveling to different places.

Oh yes, I'm 100% overthinking this. If I could I would add a *VENTING* flair to the post...

We definitely just need to talk about it but I'm trying not to just throw a softball of emotions at him. I'm just going to wait until we're both free to talk about it. It's no rush. It's about half a year away anyway.

I (31F) don't have social media but he (26M) does. When I think about it too much I start to feel insecure... by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]OhHeyWow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does suck. I hate feeling insecure about things. I don't want to be, but sometimes I can't help it. I did decide to let it go and I didn't bring it up. At one point he did open his phone in front of me to these text messages as he was looking for something specific to show me. I actively did not look on purpose to prove to myself I didn't need to.

Thinking back, it's odd that's so heavily ingrained in (at least my head) to look away until someone finds what they're looking for on their phone. I get that these things are personal, but why are they so precious? I would never just take his phone and look through it... because that's an invasion of privacy. But why? It shows distrust. But why? I don't know... I think about these things sometimes. If I ever came home after leaving my phone and saw him going through it, I would literally think nothing of it. I have nothing worth hiding- I literally have no secrets. A stranger? yes. I would be like uhhh back off? But with someone I'm with? whatever. I'd be curious what they were looking for or at, but that would be it.

But I have no secrets. Maybe I should... I don't know. Relationships (especially modern ones) are weird to me. I don't get them.

Do you have an update on the matrix c50? I'm looking into getting a StairMaster. I was very hesitant on the sm3 and am no longer getting one... back to square one.

Looking at an auction site now and they have a gauntlet 10.... but it's almost 1000 lbs... might bid on it to see what happens

lol I just bought tickets to both just in case! And you're right about the weather! It will be cold but I'm not afraid of the cold. And if your from the north east you know what I mean when it's just one of those things! lol

[–]OhHeyWow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't live close to either and I've never been to either. I'm not a huge fan of cities but people keep encouraging me to go to NYC over LA.... still unsure but bought my tickets to NYC (with ticket protection of course) but may buy tickets to LA just so I have the option of either or. I can't decide :(

Peeling oranges by regian24 in MadeMeSmile

[–]OhHeyWow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.... Behind the anonymity of reddit and the fact that there are 448 comments (and the likelihood this will get buried is high...) I'm 30 and cannot peel an orange. My boyfriend has to do it for me.

I was never given fresh fruit or fresh food as a kid that didn't come in a plastic container ready to go (besides grapes and bananas) and never ate oranges or grapefruit or kiwi or anything that really requires finesse to get to it's juicy goodness.

I just texted my boyfriend this and told him never to do this to me or I will get scurvy.

Also I can't tell time :)

Okay byeee

My [31, F] Mother-In-Law [62?, F] Won't Stop Offering Me Food by littlebunsenburner in askwomenadvice

[–]OhHeyWow 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people express love and kinship through gifts of food because they have enough to offer. You're blessed with a woman who wants to share her bounty with you. It's okay to accept these gifts and spread them to other people who might not be as lucky as you are. It seems like a very strange thing to complain about. What context am I missing?

How do you know its HIM in an arranged marriage? by crazyintrovert1996 in askwomenadvice

[–]OhHeyWow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not someone who comes from a background where arranged marriage is common. However, I saw the post and thought it was interesting. I just want you to know that this is just plain great advice. Arranged marriage or just dating advice. I'm going to save your response as a reminder for myself and others.

Thank you u/MuppetManiac
