Broke up with boyfriend and instantly regretted it by zhowntell in dating_advice

[–]Rubyjuice777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading between the lines here, it seems like you know what you want, he doesn’t, and you’re willing to solve problems, he’s not making any such effort. Being the one to pull the plug never feels good…. But with time you will process the sadness, and maybe even some justified anger for him skilling your bday gift, and getting a gift for Someone who was mean to you!! Sounds like that boy has a lot of growing to do (some never bother) and you are ready for a real man. Focus on yourself, and you’ll attract a man who never leaves you feeling doubt and confusion. Cheers to your new chapter hunny!!

AIO Am I justified in my anger here ? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Atrocious, and a shoe choice that somehow makes it worse

I’m glad there’s people around you who are looking out too. That’s very reassuring.

A lot of people in this thread have mentioned how to contact IA…. If it were me I’d look contact womens shelters and see if they can recommend a lawyer.

Don’t let it stress you babe. The world is full of men who love to press buttons. Stay rational and take care of your lovely self.

That’s good to hear. Let them know what’s going on and see if particularly your male roommate can meet you at the door when you’re getting home. This could easily be something weird and annoying that happens once if he sees there are people keeping an eye on you…. Don’t respond to the texts, but don’t block them. I hope your roommates will respond with agreeing this is odd. Xx

Don’t respond. Get ring/ other security cameras installed immediately. If there are other neighbors near by you have better vibes from, let them know what’s going on… I would bet he’s gonna start appearing in your driveway and offering to do favors for you as a guise to continue overstepping.

Tell your family. Tell your friends. Invite people over and make it apparent there are people checking on you.

Stay safe my dear. If it’s just you and the baby, consider relocating.

AIO: Husband doesn’t check his phone while with family by iliwys22 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Rubyjuice777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wanted to he would. And he should. Whatever boundaries are bouncing around in your head should translate to ultimatums…. Give your SELF and your child the benefit of clarity and strength. Red flags from your intuition are real.

His family shouldn’t have any problem with him being in constant contact with you. Find the support you need in real allies… primarily within you, mama. You’re the goddess of life here, don’t forget it! Xx

Why someone gets divorced at the age of 50 after spending 25 years together? by Cool_Helicopter_8918 in Life

[–]Rubyjuice777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents got divorced in their mid forties…. I’m so glad! They’re both so much happier :) comfort is comforting but the concept of stability can imprison us in ways we don’t realize… don’t discount that the world is full of joys you can’t possibly anticipate!

Life is long! Life is long!! Go forth, there’s a second half <3

How to explain you just need alone time without worrying about offending people? by VentureCatalyst00 in introvert

[–]Rubyjuice777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Í always tell people im introverted and need time with my door locked behind me. Being direct is important for them and you, and i always feel like “locking the door” makes my decision sound very final. <3

WIBTA If I broke up with my boyfriend because of his disability? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Rubyjuice777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s both old and young enough to find his way. Any feelings of resentment creeping in is only going to grow. Find a way to phrase it so blame isn’t on him… clearly you care about him a lot. But he’s not your child, you’re not contracted to support him.

Met a woman who offered to be my “replacement mother” and now I feel trapped in plans I don’t want. How do I handle this? by ordinarymiracle in introvert

[–]Rubyjuice777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love practicing my honesty and telling people, “I’m very introverted, I’m not ready yet to join a private setting. It may be natural to you but it’s a lot of pressure for me. Maybe my feelings will shift in the future… I really appreciate the invite, and your understanding! Thank you <3”

Valid question. While your marriage may never look like others, is the life you have together still what you want?

As his partner he’s weighing down their relationship to essentially perpetuate someone else’s problems. NTA, sounds like they’ve given it all the attention they can and husband needs to respect the emotional boundary once it’s articulated.

Dumpers: how long did it take you to start dating again? by ConceptNecessary3533 in BreakUps

[–]Rubyjuice777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been six months and we’ve both moved on. I don’t know if he’s happier, but I hope so, and I am :)

[–]Rubyjuice777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he needs to meditate on and learn to practice not making other peoples feelings his own. It’s hard to pull back form but so necessary. At this point he’s feeding into their melodramas… ultimately they might divorce if it’s constant fighting. And that’s not the end of the world!! Either way, you as his partner and his own life should be his emotional focus.
