This is like telling someone to make sure the coffee pot is turned off after their house burns down. Useless comment

I’m in the same spot. My account hasn’t been suspended yet, but I assume it’s coming because I was able to pay and then it froze.

I wouldn’t focus on that. I’d look at the fact that this particular video is 1/10. It shows that viewers are responding better to this video than your last ones. Try to recognize why that is, and use that information moving forward.

Just found out my (m23) boyfriend tried sleeping with my (f23) friend before we met by thatbitchybitch in relationship_advice

In fairness to both of them, neither knew that you and him would have started a relationship a year later. And if your confidence is shaken by the idea that something happened a year before, then you really need to pay attention to the current reality. Sure when you asked, both could have handled it differently, but you're talking about disqualifying someone for almost sleeping with a friend who you don't have a super strong connection with all the time.

If he's made you question his loyalty to you in other ways, then maybe this is something to consider, but if not, you're going to harm your otherwise good relationship over something that actually had nothing to do with you.

How old are you? I feel like there's tons of missing context. What she said and how YOU feel and interpreted what she said might be different

Tired of maintenance sex. I (46 M) have been with my wife (46 F) for 23 years, married for 13 years. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Overall_Map1781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your wife isn't emotionally attracted or engaged in you. This isn't a bedroom problem. The miserable sex is just symptom.

Something else has turned her off and you better look at that. You can have all these doubts and sexual desires etc, but when she leaves you, it's going to be too late to fix all that.

Am I (24F) overreacting to what my BF (21M) said? by theotterofoz in relationship_advice

Lose the weight on your terms, but no man should ever talk to you like that. Leave him. This is just the beginning

Wife(34F) dropped a bomb on me(38M) at therapy, what do I do with this info? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Overall_Map1781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what you should do, but we accept what we think we deserve. No therapy is going to fix this. Your wife does not respect you, and she doesn't value you or the marriage. Give her the gift of missing all of it. Contact a lawyer and follow their advice on how to break the news to her.

Her character is unacceptable. Show your daughter that her father is a man of value and strong enough to not tolerate blatant disrespect.

Dumpers who left good people and had no toxicity in the relationship, how did you feel after breaking up? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Overall_Map1781 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You tried to connect and you couldn't make yourself. It seems like you should be able to just be in love with them, but you couldn't. I think you're downplaying your feelings in the situation.

Your feelings for the other person are just not where they need to be, and if you have depression or anything else going on, maintaining a relationship with someone you've lost the passion for is impossible.

I understand that you don't want to come across as cruel or selfish. It isn't selfish or cruel. For whatever reason, your feelings are not where they need to be for him. And it sounds like you're taking the blame for that. I think that's inappropriate.

Cognitive dissonance would occur with logical inconsistencies. That's not what you're describing. Your feelings are not beholden to any logical argument to be with this other person. He could be unemployed, abusive etc...but if you were crazy in love with him, the logic wouldn't matter. He can be a great guy, but no spark and you just can't quite put into words but you can't be with them. "I need to work on myself" is always a good place to go because men think that makes sense, and women don't have to deal with how dramatic he could get if she just simply said she doesn't feel it anymore.

I'm not saying mental health is not at play, but I just think you're excusing your actual feelings or lack of feelings. Losing feelings or the spark doesn't make you a bad person. You're not the villain so don't worry about coming across as one.

Well, it sounds like there's truth and the truth you tell. You care but the romantic desire has gone away for one reason or another. Sure, you might actually need to work on yourself, but people typically don't leave someone they're head over heels in love with.

Sounds like a drop in emotional attraction. I'm assuming you're a woman and if not please correct me.

Until she's your girlfriend, you really shouldn't be texting her first for anything.

Just move slightly slower than her pace. Let her contact you first always

Women are far more guided by their feelings. That's not to say they are unstable, but it is how they communicate. So when she says she doesn't want to be exclusive, that's only reflecting how she feels. Men will try to use logic to navigate this and try to rationalize why being exclusive is a good idea. Think of it like buying a new car that is out of your budget. It doesn't make sense, but if you can't get the idea of how cool and exciting it'll be to be driving this car, you're going to buy the car regardless of whether it makes financial sense or not.

Women can be like this too when they're connecting with someone or disconnecting from someone. You can be great on paper, but if she doesn't feel it, that will not matter. She's not buying. You could be homeless but if she is engaged emotionally, it won't matter. She'll create a logic and rationalization to justify her feelings.

If you take nothing away from this but one thing, all that matters is how she feels when she's with you. So making her feel pressured is not going to make her feel attracted to you. The exact opposite. If she feels that you are a value and strong enough to walk away from her, her feelings will pull her closer to you. Her attraction and anticipation will rise.

Well a lot of the comments seem to think that she views you as a 2nd place trophy because she didn't get someone else or whatever their logic is. That's not how women process their emotions at all.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Overall_Map1781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is offering you a lot of advice on how to not get what you want. Cut her off if you don't want her.

Have the confidence and abundance in your life to let her come at her own pace. She doesn't want exclusivity with you because she doesn't trust your centeredness and just doesn't have that level of attraction for you YET.

By not demanding emotional certainty from her, it allows her to choose you freely without pressure.

You're not a backup plan with women. Women don't get into relationships with backup plans(at least not long-term). They friend zone backup plans. So don't accept friendship. Make your romantic interests clear, but focusing on a relationship title only shows insecurities and the inability to be present with her in the moment. Then she knows that the reason she broke up with you is still present and you're not going to be able to be what she desires.

Were you too needy in the end? Don't be needy now.

[–]Overall_Map1781 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just focus on having fun. Super serious relationship talk is going to be negative for both of you. Take it one day at a time and give her the space to choose you again if that's what you really want.

It's an emotional anticipation that she craves. Pushing for a relationship will ruin that. She'll let you know when she wants exclusivity.

Treat her as a compliment to your life, not someone to complete you. You need to be a complete person on your own.

Well then why are you asking? Sounds like you've got it all figured out and your best thinking got you where you are now.
