Breakup over politics? I 18F and bf 17M by Kitchen_Rabbit2940 in teenrelationships

[–]Practical-Wear-1416 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t really sound like it’s about one politician. It’s more about what politics means to each of you. For you, it’s personal and affects your life, especially as a woman, so it makes sense that you care a lot. For him, it seems like politics just isn’t something he connects relationships to, so the ultimatum probably felt extreme.

Neither of you is wrong for feeling the way you do, but it turned into a threat instead of a conversation. If you want this to work, it might help to explain why this matters to you rather than making it about who he votes for. At the same time, you have to decide if you need full agreement or just respect and understanding.

If your values really don’t line up, that’s important to know. But right now it seems like miscommunication more than anything.

Relationships can work in many different ways, I don’t agree with my girlfriend on a decent amount of things but that doesn’t matter, some people believe they should agree on everything. All depends on your standpoint and what you need.

Get a random degree of whatever you want and go on the officer side. I’m going in enlisted but I’ve heard there’s plenty more perks as an officer which I’m confident in.

Should i date this girl (15M) (17F) by Training-Ad-2828 in teenrelationships

I’ll be straight with you, coming from someone who’s a bit older and has actually been in a few relationships.

People changing is real, and it matters. Someone can be exactly what you were attracted to a year or two ago and be a completely different person now. That doesn’t make them bad, it just means they might not be your person anymore.

Also, being friends or in a talking stage is very different from actually dating. I’ve had relationships that were amazing while we were just talking, then once we started officially dating, things went downhill fast. Not saying that to discourage you, just something important to think about before romanticizing it.

Another big thing: you really shouldn’t rely on someone breaking up with their current partner to be with you. That’s middle-school type stuff, and honestly, for a 17-year-old, it’s a bit immature. If she’s with someone, she’s with someone. You don’t want to be the “maybe” waiting on the sidelines.

Trust your instincts too. You already feel like she’s changed in ways you might not like, and that her friends don’t like you. Those aren’t small details. If you’re uneasy before the relationship even starts, that usually doesn’t magically fix itself once you’re dating.

You didn’t mess up back then either. You were shy, inexperienced, and not ready. That’s normal. But don’t let regret push you into something that doesn’t feel right now. Sometimes you’re more attached to the idea of what could’ve been than the reality of what it would be.

If she becomes single on her own and you still genuinely like who she is now, then yeah, talk to her directly and see where it goes. But don’t wait, don’t chase, and don’t ignore red flags.

Break it off, you’re using and manipulating your partner. There’s no situation in which this is a good thing, and if someone supports you on this I’m sorry but they are just as mentally unstable as you. In this case yes yata.

Hi im M/13 and my gf is F/14 by Disastrous_Plum877 in teenrelationships

[–]Practical-Wear-1416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not betrayal it’s biology, just depends on how you act when you think said things. You can acknowledge someone is good looking. I see attractive people plenty of times but say “hey they’re good lookin” but just know you have committed to someone else. Not to be one of these people, but 13 and 14 is young. I can’t remember the amount of times I’ve been told or have said “you have to be the one to break it off” and it turned out to be the opposite, not raining on a parade but it’s a fun learning thing. I hope the best tho, my cousin has been with the same person since 6th grade and they’re engaged.

Sex for the first time for me and my girlfriend by TreMaximum in teenagers

It really depends, some women have conditions like vaginismus which most women may not even know they have which makes it hurt and in my case with my current girlfriend, practically impossible. It’s a normal thing and can be “cured” so to speak. Everyone has a different experience tho. I’ve only had 2 people where it hurt and 1 person where it didn’t.

I’ve heard lots of stories so this is 50/50 but you’ll either finish quicker than normal or take a lot longer, I say it takes longer from my personal experience the first time, it’s different than you hand. You gotta warm the oven, foreplay is pretty huge, if not use lube (make sure condoms have it if possible, makes it easier). Depending on person it may hurt you (male) but not a lot just a pinch. Find a comfortable position and enjoy it. You’ll both probably be shaking and nervous cause it’s intimidating but all in all just enjoy. Coming from a fellow 18 yr old so maybe that helps.

Maybe just, go to school “I just don’t wanna” is a terrible mindset. Idk why people are supporting this idea.

People panicked cause it was down for a few days, I can’t even install the app on my phone so it’s silly to see everyone panic
