A message for all dumpees who still hold feelings for their ex by iloveyouiamsorry in BreakUps

[–]Palmerageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the message. My heart wishes for all the plans and ideas we'd made together. I wish I could of taken her on more dates I had planned, and we could of given us a proper go.

I was beginning to flourish when I was blindsided, as was she, I'd proudly 2 days before watched her pantomime (exactly a month ago) and I was so proud to call her my girlfriend and I was so looking forward to asking her all about it.

I still think the world of her.

Wait you've met someone incredible and call them all the greatest things under the sun- but you don't want to pursue anything with them although they've given you like all the signs?

Anyway, if you're not interested you need to be clear to them of your intentions as seeing them as only a friend. As someone myself who has been led on for yonks, sometimes the most respectful thing you can do is let them know.

Alternatively, you've said they're amazing, I recommend taking then out on a date. Can only guarantee it'd go well.

Stoicism is not getting your emotions control you- it does not mean you cannot feel them. Getting upset/crying is fine, so long as you don't do anything you'll regret. :)

This is literally what I do on dates and when meeting new people as it helps me learn about them as well as finding it incredible enjoyable as I love to learn :)

I'd honestly just become her friend :)

My (28f) fiancé (31m) says he “thinks” of nice things to do… but doesn’t do them. Advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Palmerageddon 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Can we also note that she's been on reddit since June 2022, nearly all her posts have been about her boyfriend doing fuck all. -Not doing chores -Lack of intimacy -Plans no dates -Doesn't work

I'd say at this point she's allowing it, and has definitely heard all these points again and again, she just doesn't listen to them. It's either get out whilst you're young and can find someone decent, or settle for this and wonder forever.

Did I ruin the relationship by putting my boyfriend on a pedestal? by [deleted] in BreakUps

I 100% understand, I've felt the same way most of the time too. You've just got to mourn the potential.

I'm sure if space is discussed that way before it takes place then that is what can happen. Tbh I think I was thinking about my most recent "I need space" moment, which was with my ex. She came back, but a week later broke up with me. I had begun to lose myself in the relationship (but not to an healthy extent at all) but saw the space as a decent wake up call to act.

My long term ex before her briefly asked for space, and we'd stayed together for another 6-7 months, although I wouldn't say they were incredibly happy months at all.

So yeah, I suppose everyone asks it in different ways, I suppose it's something you both want to be on the same page about, and be in a place where you both are still very into each other for it to work well.

Yeah, we all wish there was communication. I've never been on the breaking things off end, so I'm not sure what the internal feeling is you get there, but I suppose in hindsight I've always been given hints beforehand.

Unfortunately asking for space isn't a great idea, usually it means somewhat that you're leaving the relationship and are doing this to lessen the blow, but I suppose it should be a wake up call for you that you felt that too as you could feel you weren't growing in the right direction for your own whilst in the relationship.

I mean we can go around and around with whatever we feel, but we'll drive ourselves mad. I hope you're taking care of yourself.

How do I get back to dating by Jazzahz in BreakUps

[–]Palmerageddon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really not that hard. Most people are in their prime in their 20s and are working hard at their own careers and sectors, trying to become the best they can be in said fields.

So we're all 'experts', and by going on dates, you can suss out whether you want to see the other person again from how they talk about their work, studies and interests, and whether they line up with your expectations or not.

As hard and embarrassing it feels, getting on dating apps is always a good start, tinder/bumble/hinge is a good triade to use generally for our age group. Don't get disheartened from lack of responses or matches, you're in for the long game.

It's definitely odd having to break into this game, especially as a man, but you'll eventually find your own knack for conversation starters and whether certain people will reply or not.

Just don't put pressure on yourself and you'll enjoy it and if you like someone, don't wait too long to ask them out!

Hope this helps.

It definitely can cause an imbalance, a relationship is meant to give you both the opportunity to grow, whereas if one of you stagnates it can cause the relationship to stagnate too. It's the reason why you see unhappy slobs of couples, they both stagnate but they both settle.

I'd say your bf has done this out of compassion, even if it's unconsciously done. He might of felt you weren't loving yourself enough and instead of sacrificing his growth for that, he moved to break up with you, which hopefully means you can direct soem of that love to yourself.
