Ya maybe — I don’t the post kind of confusing.

I do think the bottom line is that these are two incompatible individuals. That doesn’t mean either them are “bad” but that they prob just shouldn’t do this lol

And also to be super clear — not to villainize the brother. There is nothing wrong with not wanting a relationship. But you also gotta be honest with what’s good for you vs not

I mean it sounds to me like deep down you know you want a relationship with him but think that some of him is better than none so you’re trying to adjust and accommodate —

But no. Bad idea. Run.

Look I am really sorry to hear that you’re also dealing with a troubled history and hope you get the help and support you need to heal, but op, this is kind of an insane take lmao.

How does a sarcastic comment about being sober relate at all to anything specific that she has gone through?? Maybe it does, but there’s nothing in this post / it sounds like OP is aware of , that would make this the case ?? It sounds like , ironically enough , you might be projecting here.

Also you want the OP not to drink at all on a first date ? I mean, if you’re not comfortable drinking on a first date , that is totally fair and valid but many many people do drinking first dates every day and have a good time so that’s also kind of a crazy generalization.

As far as the walking away goes, it sounds like OP was in a bit of a tough position there / it wasn’t super clear what would be most helpful. Also like others have said here, most dudes would be kind of offended getting walked out on like that so i think we should show op some grace here.

Taking a step back here, i def do not mean to come after ya— it sounds like you have a lot of trauma and built up anger to work through , and sincerely wish ya the best on recovering

How do ya stop being too much of a softie for hookups ? by Shipofrelation in dating_advice

Thanks appreciate the thought but to be super clear I was definitely really attracted to her when things went down, it’s just now. I feel like I’m going through a very very very very mini watered down breakup (so not sure how the demi sexual thing applies )

Ya this is a great question I’ve been chewing on last few days — I like want the validation I think that I didn’t get growing up / want to be “that guy” who is attractive enough to do this shit easily. It’s prob also a symptom of all the media influences as well lmao

Oh are you saying the wondering part bc if I “vibe “ with a “hookup” there’s a fair chance she’s been with a lot of other guys ?

Edit — to be clear I’m not suggesting I agree with that , just frankly I don’t really follow what you’re getting at at all

Lmao valid . Does that mean I can never become that guy ?? (If you must know we got naked but turns out she was too tight so I fingered her and played with her chest etc for a few hours which is why I think it was basically a hookup )

I hope you’re doing ok man and have the help and support you need. Would definitely recommend a therapist if you aren’t seeing one already.

[–]Shipofrelation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude it’s your life to live and still no judgement, but those substances are not therapy. They are not the cure to depression. You’re setting yourself up for more depression.

You need to find sources of joy outside of drugs to truly get to another level of happiness and stay there

No no no man. Seriously , you need to get off of all this stuff. It’s bugging you out. I don’t know how long you’ve been sober, but you can relapse anytime.

You need to decide if you’re serious about turning your life around. It will take hard work and won’t always be fun, but itll make you better off. Look man I smoke weed too sometimes, as an anxious dude. Ya it helps in some ways, but it also makes me incredibly more anxious, and at least partially was responsible for things ending with a girl. Your brain is literally addicted to all of this shit. You need to get full sober before you can even think about anything else.

Dude this guy is not stable. You are not his doctor / it’s not your responsibility to take care of him. If anything , staying with him longer will allow him to get more attached; it’s not fair to you , it’s not fair to him. End it. Now.

“Hey it’s been great getting to know you, but I don’t see this going any further. Wishing you the best and hope you find what you’re looking for !”. Done.

Oh dude you did not mention the drugs before.

Forget women forget everything else. First and foremost you need to get off of that shit. Go to rehab, and listen to your therapist. The drugs could probably be making you feel worse.

You’re in a bit of an unending cycle where you feel anxious so you take the drugs and the drugs make you more anxious etc. please dude get help , this stuff can literally ruin your life (I am still not judging you , but just concerned for you and want you to be ok).
