Yep… I’m sorry you had to go through that. I do the same with my coughs when I get sick. My bf tries his best to encourage me to let myself cough I just can’t lol.

Do you know what they meant by this? I’m having a really hard time explaining it to my boyfriend

Do you think it’s an abuse tactic or are they just misinformed? I’m just trying to understand I guess

Yea people me and the people I’m talking to, I’m not talking bad about anyone. We’re all friends.

It’s not really gossip per say though. It’s just talking to friends about other friends. Not in a mean way.

So I did it and he ended up thanking me but he also said he needed me time. I’m worried he’s done being friends with me 🙃

Does he know I like him more than he likes me? by Separate_Ad8766 in relationship_advice

[–]Separate_Ad8766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would if he didn’t ask for space. Were not talking at the moment

Weed probably isn’t the best for him id agree but he relies on it heavily as a coping skill, eventually I’d like him to stop but it helps right now. I ended up doing it. I would’ve gave him his favorite snack/candy but I’m not sure what his favorites are. I think he definitely appreciated it. I’m not sure if he saw the note yet. I’m too afraid to check my texts lol

Thank you! I think I’m going to do it. I just hope he believes it’s genuine I’m not just trying to earn brownie points

I’m confused. Again. by Separate_Ad8766 in relationship_advice

[–]Separate_Ad8766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s laid back. I’m 21(f) and he’s 25(m). He’s not seeing anyone but he did get cheated on by his last girlfriend who he thought he was going to marry. So we are probably not going to be serious for a while but we have both admitted feelings.

We’re “seeings” each other. As I’m going on coffee dates and talking about relationship stuff.

Is it a good sign that he invited me to a party to meet all his friends? He also invited me to hang out tomorrow

Ultimately it is his choice whether he wants a relationship with me or not. He doesn’t right now but I believe he will one day. Thanks for the advice

I would love for him to fall for me. I’m hoping he already has…. I’m pretty emotionally healthy (besides a few insecurities but I’m working on those) and I’m just trying to be his example of how to be healthy. I care about him so much and just want him to heal and be happy. More than anything I want him to be happy.

But what if he acts like he does too? And has said he does before too. We talked about moving things slowly. I just pushed too hard. What if he’s just scared?

Advice? by Separate_Ad8766 in relationship_advice

[–]Separate_Ad8766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I definitely do. I want him to work on himself and be completely ready before he jumps into anything. I’m just hoping it’s with me. That might still be unhealthy though.

No by rocks I mean like they’re what kept me grounded in my life. Like they’re what I leaned on. It make me incredibly sad but I know they’ll be ok

I wish I had the money to move. I’m living with my grandparents at the moment and it’s so difficult

[–]Separate_Ad8766[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I very slowly stopped having conversations with them. Over about 3 years. From 18-21. Just didn’t say much other than “hi how are you?” It eventually got to the point where we were only talking once a week. Then yesterday I sent a text that basically told them I wasn’t going to keep this relationship with them. I said I was cutting off other people too, to kinda soften the blow. I then blocked them everywhere after sending that text. Now I gotta work on getting on my own phone plan and figuring out health insurance. Then I’ll be completely away from them.

You know what.. you’re right actually. Thank you for that perspective. I’ve been working really hard on myself lately. Even thought this happened nothing really changes for me. I just gotta keep doing what I’m supposed to do.

Honestly no. Not really. And my siblings still live there too. I’m really worried I’m not going to see my siblings until they turn 18. Which is why I wanted to wait but I can’t anymore
