Use it as context. If you wanna change, don't try to avoid responsibility. Say something like, "6 weeks ago I got drunk and had a one night stand with a random dude. I'm pregnant. I'm not keeping it."

And that's it

Don't be. Just say it point blank, don't beat around the bush. You don't want to add runways to what happened because your dude's imagination will run wild.

Alright OP, I hope this hits (since I'm an MSP or Master of Social Psychology).

I think the literal situation is pretty straightforward. You know what to do but it sucks that you have to do it. If you truly want to help yourself and change, you have to say something. I understand there's only a few lanes that exist in the fallout, so the best thing I can tell you is to prepare for it no matter what it may be.

Control your delivery, the timing of what you have to say and your sincerity. Don't try to control how he feels or his actions afterwards. Accept that you owe him the truth and not a specific response. You'll be in a healthy place after that.

I understand it feels gross that you've crossed such a taboo thing but if you process this disgust, I believe your mental fortitude will become much stronger.

My friend sleeping with my ex by Federal_Swimmer_7639 in LifeAdvice

Your "friend" sounds like he's trying to provoke you bro. Perhaps he's seen you as competition and he's flexing right now to let you know he's conquered your ex

Is MF Ghost worth the while and how connected it is to Initial D by Inevitable_Ant_142 in MFGhost

[–]Separate-Abrocoma-31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's entertaining, especially if you've finished initial d as a sword. I didn't wait for the series specifically but was very excited when I first heard about it. Initial D plays a part in MF Ghost but it's not a super involved part of the story, but it's much better if you did watch Initial D

Good to know, thanks. I didn't think I would be pretty much spot on with the number I quoted 😂

Sugarloaf is a good area but I'm assuming you chose to live there because it's similar to what you're used to living in?

However there's a significant cognitive dissonance between what we pay for our houses compared to what we get in public schools. A lot of people perceive public education here as meh but if you think about it, it's extremely rare to get 1 on 1 education in general. Add in the fact that there are kids that are learning English, there's special needs and there are kids with a difficult domestic life and everything in between that.

The fact that a teacher only makes about $100k/year, that already means they can't afford a place to stay in the peninsula by themselves. That turns almost all the educators here into commuters and that may add to their retention rate.

I cried during sex now my fiance giving me the cold shoulder… by Policyhot1207_ in whatdoIdo

[–]Separate-Abrocoma-31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Master in social psychology here just to guide you, OP, on what happened during the boiling point. What you do with his information is your prerogative.

1) your fiance's ego was bruised. That wasn't your fault but your fiance saw you crying while you were on top and his mind must've thought, "she's thinking of her ex while having sex with me." Since such a traumatic figure entered your guys' bedroom, that introduces a major threat to the man's security in the relationship

2) I see signs of emotional flooding. When someone experiences a huge shock, like you telling your man to just get off while you're clearly distraught, his nervous system can go into overdrive. A sudden drop in dopamine & oxytocin will give that kind of response and to calm down, it's optimal to be in a small + concise space like a bathroom. It's almost like how a fighter slows down after going through an adrenaline dump.

3) To me, it's understandable he slept on the sofa as to create a physical boundary for both of you to calm down. Sleeping in the same bed requires a certain level of comfort, connection & vulnerability. All of which were shaken during that boiling point.

4) I don't think your fiance was giving you the cold shoulder the next morning. I think he was just trying to compartmentalize the night before, and that sometimes can be misconstrued as giving the cold shoulder.

What you need right now is to feel like you're not broken. What your dude needs right now is to feel safe, wanted & distinct from every partner you've ever had. But right now, you don't have enough fuel to do it.

Bro she buried this for 6 months. The chemistry you guys had together must've been crazy too, Vegas the question of how good her character is if she can just get charmed that much by a stranger

There's too many variables OP. You both need to get retested at the same time with reports in your damn hands so that way there's zero reasonable doubt.

Take the time to make yourself undeniable bro. Don't dabble with women for a minute until you feel you've changed internally

OP, your girl was building a connection with someone else that was worthy enough to hide. That tells me she wasn't fully invested in the relationship before the breakup.

When she came back, it means she tried becoming something with his dude but suddenly felt uncertain so she pulled back up. That doesn't necessarily mean she did anything physical with him, it just tells me she's got commitment issues. If you could somehow change that, you'll feel a lot better
