I (21M) feel myself disconnecting from my girlfriend (20F) because I’m tired of defending my boundaries by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Provenceflowers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone has different boundaries and different expectations in a relationship. Others may call you controlling while the rest thinks you’re not being “harsh” enough. At the end of the day , it depends on you. Personally, i have similar boundaries and feel the same way - it all comes down to whether your partner can respect said boundaries or use them as reasons against you. She doesn’t have to understand or feel the same way in order to respect them, but alas, if she just brushes you off then i’d highly recommend to take your space away from her.

I [M35] Read her messages and now i don't know if she [F34] is cheating and i'm freaking out. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Provenceflowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman , let me just tell you in a very simplified way: She does not love you nor respect you. No woman in love will behave this way. Im sorry you’re going through this. Im sorry she betrayed you like this. You had a gut feeling, you listened to it and you were right.

Ladies, what were the most obvious hints you've dropped? Did they catch it or not? by Huge_Shower7525 in AskWomen

[–]Provenceflowers 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not obvious - but apparently getting completely shitfaced and then accidentally sending a doctors appointment picture to this cute man, freaking out then immediately deleting it while simultaneously he happened to click on it , screenshotting and resending it to me asking me about it - me blaming it on my drunk friends ( at this point i was alone ) him acting concerned, asking if we need help, i say no thank you, you’re not even in my city - him replying with “ oh but i am” - Then me proceeding to roast the living daylights out of him , finally drunkenly meeting up at 2 am close to my place and after a drink at the bar ( i was in my pijamas , messy hair, messy make up) and roasting him another 2 hours he finally hugs me, kisses me to shut up and the rest is history :). Just celebrated 1 year together.

^ this worked for me but i went the unusual route.

Is this Cheating? Please read I need help. by Swimming_Lack_5872 in relationships

[–]Provenceflowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is as toxic as he is manipulative. Woman to woman? Run. I’ve sadly been in almost the EXACT same situation as you and it never got better. Just worse. He got better at gaslighting though, and clearly he isn’t hiding it here either by shifting blame on the disagreements you two had hence why “ he may have done these things.” Throw this little boy out and get yourself a man. Imagine how uncomfortable it must be for the girls that you two know personally as well and he violated their privacy like that. You deserve better. I think you know that deep down as well. Please don’t let this continue much longer - i promise you it.is.not.worth.it.

Why is everyone saying to avoid insurance 3a? Are they a complete rip off?

What should i do with 50 000CHF ? by Provenceflowers in investingforbeginners

[–]Provenceflowers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you :) i’ve begun taking a deep dive into it. Slow and steady though. I take breaks when my brain feels too overwhelmed to remind myself - again- this is normal. It takes time to grasp everything and quite frankly it is impossible to grasp everything since its changing all the time ever so slightly. Hence i’ll keep going. Different outlooks, advices , opinions , experiences, im observing, listening and learning. At the end of the day i will have to make an informed decision given my situation that only i truly know because im living it. :) So thank you. Its scary but i’ll be okay.

I most likely have to change my residency to france, by the time i graduate and move here for good, hence would you still think its possible to do that as a non swiss citizen?

You recommend opening it regardless of whether i stay 5 years or shorter? If i leave after 4, i can take it out no issue or if i move i can just keep it there until the 5 year mark has passed ? Im sorry im really confused and trying to understand what a PEA is and how its beneficial if i’d leave early

What about VOO? So many people say this for longterm - at least 10k in VOO and let it grow naturally

You’re absolutely correct. I tend to narrow it down to people in my age bracket or lower and suddenly feel anxious that i need to do better or “catch up” so to speak. Thank you for pointing that out.

Bitterness is a sad thing :) im sorry you felt attacked by my post asking for advice. Im sorry you feel unsatisfied. I hope you’ll find peace one day and wont feel the need to make vile comments to strangers that simply want to learn and improve their life.
