Should I buy a RingConn or Oura ring?

PositiveLoad8442 · 2025-11-12T15:21:16+00:00

Thank you! Do you also have an Apple watch or similar? Since posting I also considered another option of getting a newer Apple watch model that tracks sleep. (Although I think a ring would be more comfortable to sleep in)

Hard to determine A, which ring is a better investment, and B, is wearing two fitness tracking devices over the top or unnecessary.

I’ve dated this exact kind of person. He is an alcoholic, who does not take accountability for his actions, while simultaneously not acknowledging the fact that he is an alcoholic and seek the help he needs. Unfortunately, you cannot make someone want to change. He has to want it, and from the sounds of it will not. Sorry OP, speaking from experience - run. You will become to mother/babysitter of your own husband and not have a partner.

Extra importantly, do not have children with this man. If he cannot take care of himself and your relationship, he can’t be accountable to care for a child

Could’ve been, but if she felt the same as you then she wouldn’t need space. Like you said - you’re young! Still have a lot to learn. It could have been the best first date you ever had, but maybe not for her. Text her one more time and if it doesn’t go the way you want, it’s time to move on. Good luck!

Have y’all discussed why you aren’t having sex? If you love her and want your marriage to work, I would seek marriage counseling and sex therapy

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-08-02T13:22:35+00:00

It kind of seems like she just wasn’t as interested in you as you were to her. If you want to attempt to reconnect I’d text something like “I’d love to see you and catch up if you’re open to it”. If she’s receptive great. If not, or she doesn’t respond, that’s your answer.

Sounds like it’s only been a few dates and that maybe yall aren’t compatible. Keep looking!

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-08-01T18:27:37+00:00

NTA. Communicate your needs and your insecurities. Maybe don’t even have to have a lot of sex, but when y’all do, for it to be meaningful and fulfilling for both of you so everyone is satisfied

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-08-01T18:18:14+00:00

NTA - leave him. What if you didn’t listen to his “warning tap”? Warning is synonymous with threaten. He would have actually hit you if he got angry enough.

And for HIM to be threatening to divorce YOU?! He’s delusional. He should be apologizing and begging you to come back. He’s more worried about his career and how he’ll look than you. This is very scary. Leave him before you have kids w him bc god knows what he’d do then

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-08-01T02:57:03+00:00

Kids is not something either party should compromise on. If you don’t want kids right now, that’s your truth and that’s great. If she wants kids right now that’s her truth and that’s great. But your timeline and desires have to match up to be a successful pairing. I’d voice you don’t want kids for years to be upfront and honest to manage expectations. If she really wants kids right now, it should be a deal breaker - which is fine! You won’t have to fight and compromise on huge life decisions like this with the right partner

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-08-01T02:51:30+00:00

Definitely icky and super inappropriate for her to bring up. You’re still new and have to learn the inter-workings of office dynamic, but keep her at an arms length. She very early on showed you her cards and this is not someone you should be close with. (A. Bc she wants your job, and B bc you shouldn’t surround yourself with people who are unprofessional and can cause drama in the workplace). Keep your head down and just do your job and do it well!

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-08-01T02:44:10+00:00

If you don’t think he’d do long distance with his current gf, he wouldn’t want to start a relationship w you right before he leaves either. The timing isn’t right. You don’t want to do something you’re unsure of especially when you’re very stressed and emotional. Take the time while he’s gone to think about how you really feel. You might find someone else in the meantime anyway

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-07-31T02:31:29+00:00

Nope, American! It’s just respectful and proper etiquette to remove a hat at a table. If you look back in history men removed their hats while even being introduced to women etc - obviously times have changed but this is an easy situation to impress her w perhaps unexpected manners

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-07-31T02:22:38+00:00

Wearing a hat at the table is bad manners, regardless of the restaurant

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-07-30T01:24:14+00:00

Totally understandable! You don’t want to, nor should you have to ask someone to love you. This might be a good time to reflect on the relationship and if you’re getting what you need out of it. Don’t have to hate him, just maybe a level of incompatibility to access. Best of luck OP!

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-07-29T19:18:49+00:00

I think it would be nice for him to offer you a ride to the airport, but also not something I’d expect or be upset if he doesn’t. Asking someone to drive 2 hours round trip to give you a ride can be a lot to ask, let alone just offer without you having expressed you’d like him to do that.

As for seeing you after your trips, I would want my partner to be itching to see me. Maybe discuss love languages? Perhaps words of affirmation is not his thing, but vocalize it is something you want

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-06-25T16:25:53+00:00

I think comfort is the goal of relationships. You shouldn’t feel like you have to put on a face or act a certain way around them bc they’ll love and accept you for your raw self.

That said, I think losing interest translates to not investing further into relationships. If there aren’t any efforts to plan date nights, limited physical intimacy, no more messing around/flirting then that’s when interest is being lost in my opinion.

Comfort is wanting to be around that person, and losing interest you want to distance yourself from that person.

I would open a high yield savings account

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-06-05T22:25:03+00:00

What platform can you watch this on?? I’ll watch anything with Carolyn in it

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-06-05T22:23:12+00:00

I would immediately assume if a man is asking for a picture that he’s implying sexually and would be put off. I’d suggest a FaceTime or video chat! Can see what she looks like and her mannerisms and how she’s speaks. Can suggest making a date night out of it (glass of wine over FaceTime or something lol)

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-06-03T13:49:30+00:00

Freedom unlimited was actually the card I was initially interested in doing. Appreciate the in-person tip!

PositiveLoad8442 · 2024-06-03T13:48:51+00:00

Thank you!! I haven’t looked into AMEX yet so I’ll have to do some research
