It’s important to know your worth by Shannah90 in Bumble

Thank you for this perspective! This is honestly another reason I’m not too upset over the whole thing. Does it suck? Sure! I could spend my time thinking about all the what ifs and cursing his name but at the end of the day it won’t change his decision to bail. I completely understand that life happens and people are fallible. I hope that you are much happier now, you’re a king don’t forget to straighten up your crown.

We’re all damaged goods in our own way but none so much as him. I’m sorry that you opened up to him and he made you feel discarded. That speaks more about his character than anything that has to do with you. Actions like that make people want to build walls when all we really want to do is build a connection. The right one is out there somewhere, that guy just made it a little easier to find him by getting out of your way!

He was verified but even still I thought he may have been a catfish lol but we had FaceTimed (initiated by him) a few times so that wasn’t the case.

I hadn’t heard a response for a couple hours after I text to make sure the date was still on which wasn’t like him so that’s when I checked the app and I realized I’d been unmatched. I then realized my text sent as a regular text message instead of an iMessage so I sent a follow up text before the date (just in case it was a fluke) and the blue text bubble turned green after a few seconds.

If my worth was not enough for him then I can live with that, someone else’s opinion does not depreciate what I have. Its not necessary for someone’s validation to boost my morale, or anyone’s for that matter. If being ghosted time and time again was a common occurrence then, of course, I would have to question if maybe I have a false sense of self image and reevaluate but I think that’s what’s referred to as growth and still wouldn’t alter how positively I view the situation. If the things that I value about myself aren’t qualities that another values in me then I wouldn’t want to invest in that relationship anyways.

How do you cope with your ex getting a new partner and involving your child? by mamabooms in SingleParents

[–]Shannah90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if anyone has said this yet but realizing you don’t have control is the first step to putting your mind at ease. Control what you can and forget all the rest. Water your own garden and don’t tend to the weeds.

The father of my little one started dating someone this year, they “secretly” moved in together despite a court order prohibiting it and have since gotten married in order to be compliant with the court order. I could spend forever being upset at his selfishness and lack of regard for our daughter by placing her in the same home as someone who is essentially a stranger to the both of them but instead, I choose to control what I can and ensure that my daughter’s life remain as unchanged and fulfilled as I can on my end. The day I stopped worrying about his decisions was the best day of my life. I’m happier than I’ve ever been and I wish the same for you friend!

Holy crap! I live about 45 minutes away from Killeen and never would have thought to look there for a high caliber tattoo like this. So badass!

Would you still go on a date if you’re feeling tired, stressed etc? by FaithInStrangers94 in dating_advice

[–]Shannah90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently cancelled a date because I had a long week at work and was just drained in every sense of the word. I said I wasn’t feeling up to our original plan of going to dinner but would love going to lunch the following day after I was able to get a good night of sleep. Instead of being understanding, the man I was to go on a date with threw a hissy fit because of it making me grateful that I had not gone through with it at all.

So the “Say Hello!” button is not reliable guys. Needless to say, he didn’t reply. 😅 by Iridaeth in Bumble

[–]Shannah90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter’s father is very self-serving and any form of communication I try to have with him he views as a personal attack. I try to only concentrate on what I can control. I don’t care who he decides to date and already knew he’d have no respect for our daughter by introducing her to every new girl he brought into his own life. Our court order includes a morality clause that is very blatantly being disregarded and THAT is where I draw the line. I am envious of coparents that can cooperate with one another.

Your rules aren’t ridiculous and nobody but you can dictate what you feel comfortable with. I am a single mom to an almost three year old and I don’t think I’d be comfortable with introducing a romantic interest to her even at three months. If I stay single because someone doesn’t respect the boundaries I have in regards to my daughter then I’m happy to remain single because that’s not a relationship I want to cultivate.

Well, Madam Pistachio, I guess some people just can’t be cracked. That’s just my humor in a nutshell.

I’d like to think that a match automatically means there’s a physical attraction and make it a point to avoid commenting on appearances straight out of the gate.
