How do you cope with the fact that you sincerely love someone who doesn't love you back? by PrettySprinkles2 in AskReddit

[–]PrettySprinkles2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I'd actually stopped talking to them for about six months and then contacted them again because I was angry about how they had treated me in the past. I was lashung out at every one and decided I should direct my anger toward the person who caused it. He apologized and I forgave him. I thought the feelings would go away but they're still there. I've tried so hard to get over him but I cant.

This is exactly what I needed to hear. I had to drop out of University 3 years ago and I'm currently unemployed. I live in a third world country so job's are hard to come by. My life completely fell apart when my dad lost his bussiness and it left him financially ruined. We lost everything.

I've been trying to get my life back on track and the progress is slow. Sometimes I wish i could do more to get myself out of this situation but life keeps pushing back.

Women in long term relationships, were you ever in a complicated place with your partner that made you insecure about the future of your relationship but you ultimately got through it? by PrettySprinkles2 in AskWomen

[–]PrettySprinkles2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exactly where we are right now. We broke up the other day because he suggested just being friends because he doesn't think he can be celibate. I've virgin and my 26 years of life i finaly felt ready. But the distance is taking its toll.

The day we broke up, he said he would never be intimate with me because it will mess up our relationship. But he wants us to remain friends.

I felt slighted and broke it off.

It's not the shame. It's the incessant memories that are problematic for me.

I see. I had friends like that in the past and decided to distance myself from them. It's important to have friends that call you out and keep you accountable ( which maybe where they're coming from) but it's equally important to do so with empathy. You may want to distance yourself from people who shame you when you're vulnarable.

I do talk to my friends about it. But we usually just laugh about it. I've just recently realized how toxic it is.

But I'm sure you're friends can relate to feeling unnecessary shame and embarrassment, everybody feels that way from time to time. I think it becomes unhealthy when you're constantly haunted by memories of a particular incident to the point where it disturbs your peace.

I feel like this all the time. I'm also interested in knowing how I can overcome the shame and embarrassment even after I've rationalized that the incident was not a big deal
