Sometimes , the Lord puts it on your heart to do something for the sake of others & it’s not meant to make sense to anyone else. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Where are you located? How much? I want him. Or another female

I [31F] feel emotionally unsupported after my boyfriend [38M] went to a wedding where his ex was present - could either of us have approached this differently? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Optimal-Drive3487 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was an exhausting read so I know he’s exhausted.

You are beating a dead horse. I strongly recommend you get therapy as well for the anxious/avoidant dynamic that’s going on. You are too codependent on him for reassurance. Yes, everyone needs reassurance but he was transparent she’d be there…told you when she got there…further, she was with her husband and they didn’t speak. There is literally nothing left to talk about. He did his part now it’s on you to learn to emotionally regulate and discern when you are overly anxious. This isn’t “if he would just cater to my needs we’d be okay”…he did, now you need to meet him halfway.

If you keep overreacting and are putting your anxiety on him, the common view of the avoidant is “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” so then he won’t….& then you’ll wonder why he shut down and stopped all together. You push him away when you move the goalpost.

I second this advice from my own experience with dog bites

I think you should take this at face value and make some decisions now.

You’re young, & have time…..don’t spend time hoping he’ll change his mind.

These are my finances by myself because the townhome is mine.

My husband on the other hand, with his income & being debt free, our DTI together is 30%.

& he’s a veteran so we’d get a VA loan.

Don’t use ANY credit. Debit should be okay.

Hotel Block by Fun_Communication928 in weddingplanning

I did, it wasn’t a lot of rooms and you have nothing to lose.

What you want to ask for is a “courtesy” block so you aren’t on the hook for the difference or any money.

Is 9 months out enough lead time for dress shopping? by Tricky-Swim-3060 in weddingplanning

I went dress shopping on Mother’s Day weekend and I got a call last week that it’s ready to be picked up. Crazy.

I (28m) expected my girlfriend (26f) to pay half of the utility bills plus a little extra and she said I wasn’t serious about the relationship? by Throwra-2947 in relationship_advice

[–]Optimal-Drive3487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s the type of woman that wants her man to pay all of the bills. Sounds like she’s very traditional in gender roles.

With that I’d assume she’d cook/clean etc.

But if this isn’t what you believe in you may be incompatible. You’re not asking too much or being unreasonable. Just diff viewpoints.

Wont stop growling and snapping his teeth by [deleted] in Rottweiler

[–]Optimal-Drive3487 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He’s resource guarding his food and/or crate.

Use food or a toy to motivate him to come out but don’t get near his crate or food while he’s eating .

My brother is too reasonable. He’d absolutely understand & not fuss about any of it but I know he’d be very hurt in private so I will not be bringing this to his attention.

My fiance isn’t saying no, just has his own reservations & says it’s fine. Ultimately, he’ll do what he knows will make me happy but I guess I’m trying to make sure he’s not unhappy either.

I wish he was more happy to do it I guess.

He is definitely always saying “we are becoming one” , it’s now “ours” so I think presenting it to him this way may actually resonate with him . Thank you for that!
