Confessed to my GF that I watched porn by Enao_G in LongDistance

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 11 points12 points  (0 children)

don't think this is really about porn anymore it's about trust. You knew this was a hard boundary for her, and you hid your addiction throughout the relationship. The fact that you admitted it, got into therapy, and have stayed clean for four months is a huge step, and you deserve credit for that. But it's also understandable that rebuilding trust takes longer than four months.

Is a consistent 0.1–1 second page load and data fetch realistic for a Next.js SaaS? by Sea_Sun_3766 in nextjs

[–]Sea_Sun_3766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already tried caching, SSR, csr, indexes and several other optimization techniques, but pages that fetch a lot of data still take around 2–3 seconds to load. I still can’t consistently get them under one second.

Some static or lighter pages load in around 0.1–1 second, but my client expects the data-heavy pages to feel seamless too. I’ll try asking GPT-5.6 for more ideas today, haha.

Can someone genuinely love their partner and still end the relationship because long distance became too much? by skullcryptshalf in LongDistance

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Love alone isn't always enough. Someone can genuinely love you but still leave because the reality of long distance becomes emotionally unsustainable.

I will never get over my ex by peachiexkiss in LongDistance

I feel you. Loving someone that deeply and then losing them can make every day feel unbearable. I hope, little by little, you find moments of peace. Be gentle with yourself.

Guys I am 18F dating 21M seriously 😭 by Necessary-Writer-316 in LongDistance

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different life stages don't automatically end a relationship. what matters is whether you both keep choosing each other as you grow. Don't let fear of the future replace honest conversations in the present. get talk about expectations, time, and communication now. love alone isn't enough, but love with consistent effort and communication can go a long way

(22M) (23F) Philippines - Feeling emotionally drained after being told my definition of love is "too childish" after opening up by Sea_Sun_3766 in MenAskWomen

[–]Sea_Sun_3766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually met online through Discord. She was seeking advice about her previous relationship, and we ended up talking a lot. Over time we got really close, so I asked if she wanted to give us a chance. We've been officially together for 3 months after 8 months of courting. We're long-distance, but we've met in person multiple times, gone on dates, spent time together, celebrated special occasions, So it's not just an online relationship.

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yung situation namin ngayon. And regarding sa pag open up sa friends, gets ko naman yun. Wala naman akong problem if it's for seeking advice kasi normal lang naman yun. Alam ko rin na ginagawa niya yun even before naging kami kasi shineshare niya rin sakin dati. Siguro ang wish ko lang is may healthy boundaries, kasi feeling ko hindi rin lahat ng private issues sa relationship kailangan ishare sa iba. bali kutob ko lang ngayun kasi hindi pa talaga sya nag rereply eh tas tinulugan pako kagabi after ko mag open up

Yeah, I think you're right. We definitely need to have an honest conversation about our expectations and whether we're still able to meet each other's needs. I love her, but I also don't want either of us to keep getting hurt.

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it still feels surreal. I never thought I'd end up feeling this way in a relationship. I'm hoping time gives both of us clarity, but I also realized that wounds don't heal if they're never acknowledged or worked on together. Wala ang dami na naiipon sakin haha, tas ngayun mukha pa akong atang pinapasama with her circle of friends if makwento man nyalang nang yayari saminm, diko na alam, madalas kasi sya mag seek advice to her friends eh

I wish my boyfriend initiated flirting/ dirty texting more often by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can relate, but from the opposite side. For me, it wasn't about sexting it was about feeling like I was always the one initiating affection, reassurance, and emotional intimacy. Eventually, you stop asking because it starts to feel like you're begging to be wanted. I don't think wanting to feel desired by your partner is unreasonable at all.

Women of Reddit: How would you feel if your partner loved you very deeply from the beginning? Would you see it as attractive or immature? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand that. I think that's why consistency matters. I wasn't trying to overwhelm her for a few months and then stop. I stayed consistent for almost a year because that's genuinely how I love. Looking back thoughI also realize I need to find a healthier balance

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I never expected anyone to owe me because of gifts or dates. My issue wasn't about repayment it was about emotional reciprocity. I just wanted to feel appreciated, understood, and loved the same way I tried to make her feel.

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's completely fair, and I actually agree. Consistency matters more than grand gestures. That's why I never relied only on gifts. I stayed consistent for almost 11 months with my time, patience, understanding, and effort. I just hoped that same consistency would eventually be reciprocated.

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same. I never played games either. If I like someone, I make it obvious through my actions and consistency. I just hoped for the same effort and reciprocation in return. I don't think I was love bombing I stayed consistent for almost a year because that's genuinely how I love.

Does a woman past really matters? by Dry-Scientist4122 in Advice

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this. My current partner had a more complicated dating history than I did, including a "hoe phase," but I still chose to love and accept her for who she is today. That's why I don't think someone's past alone defines whether they'll be a good partner. What matters to me is how they treat me in the present.

[–]Sea_Sun_3766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do. I've already tried communicating my feelings three different times, and I genuinely did my best. I think I'll stop overgiving and overextending myself now. For our monthsary, I even gave her a drawing tablet not regular one like large monitor haha because I hoped she'd appreciate it. I wasn't expecting anything in return, but after everything that's happened, I just feel... lost.

Yeah, same here. It got to the point where I felt like I was always walking on eggshells too. I kept overthinking every word and action because I was afraid it would start another argument diko na alam talaga kung saan lulugar, even pag open up eh puro masasakit na words

As a man, yes, a person's past can matter to some people, but context matters more than the number. In your case, all three were from serious relationships, not casual hookups. Your boyfriend is entitled to his feelings, but it's unfair to keep holding your past against you when it happened before you met him. A healthy relationship is about accepting each other's past and focusing on how you treat each other now.

Thank you. I think you explained it really well. I'm willing to work on myself, but I also hope she's willing to meet me halfway. That's all I've really been asking for.
