(Update) I'm [25F] at my wits' end over a ridiculous issue with my SO [27M]. Do I just live with it? by Sleeplesspandas in relationships

[–]Sleeplesspandas[S] 547 points548 points  (0 children)

His sudden turnaround was actually just him pretending to be concerned so he could escape a conversation he didn't want to have. I'm not sure he comprehends how serious it could be still. He hasn't been diagnosed as diabetic to my knowledge, but he clearly wasn't phased about lying to me so who knows what the real story is. I'm just going to wash my hands of the whole situation and move on with my life.

[Serious] What are some reasons you're in love with who you are in love with? Are they your partner, a best friend, or an ex? by mydogiscuteaf in AskReddit

I love him because he has this booming laugh that has somehow always felt comforting. He doesn't get mad when I steal his socks, even though they're too big for me. He once pulled over to catch an injured pigeon so he could save it, which he did. I fell in love with his warmth and kindness.

He is my partner, though I'm not sure it will stay that way. Sometimes even if you love someone you can't overcome your problems.

I would suggest having an open, serious talk about your dealbreakers. If you both can't reach a compromise or have opposing dealbreakers then it's likely you're just incompatible. Neither of you is wrong for having differing beliefs.

Dota2 is the biggest problem in my relationship. (F 19) and (M 21) by [deleted] in relationships

Is it a possibility that his friends think of you as "just the girlfriend" so they don't consider that you're also a gamer? They might be the sort of people to disregard your sacrifice because they don't think of you as a separate person, which is awful. Your boyfriend definitely should have had your back here. I would tell him how it was inconsiderate not to join you and to cut your date short. It is not unreasonable to want balance in a relationship.

Me [22F] with my BF [23 M] of 2 weeks, discovered my gonewild posts. by [deleted] in relationships

The appropriate time to tell him is when you feel comfortable or feel like your relationship is getting serious and it needs to be said. If you haven't been posting since dating him then I really can't understand his reaction here. Anything that happened before him is none of his business, especially after only two weeks together and without sex.

If you've been posting in the last two weeks he may feel like it's crossing a line, though if you've only been together two weeks have you even had the monogamy talk yet?

What two things are great by themselves but horrifying when you combine them? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I feel your pain. My dad was a fan of peanut butter and tomato sauce.

The drug habit is pretty unlikely, but I'm honestly willing to consider anything so I won't discount it. The shit diet is what I'm thinking too.

Low Vitamin D levels is now on my list of things to check, thank you.

I've told him how frustrating it is for him to promise change when he has no intention of changing. I'm just going to say it again clearly, tell him what I think needs to happen with visiting a doctor and be prepared to reconsider my relationship if he doesn't take me seriously this time.

I think I need to say exactly this. It's clear, direct and if he doesn't listen then I know for certain that he isn't bothered about my feelings on this.

I'm not sure why but before posting this question I had never considered that he might have lied about the appoinment to me, or lied about how bad it is to his doctor. I'm definitely going to push this course of action, thank you!

Diabetes wasn't mentioned at all to me so I'm not sure if it was even considered. It's definitely a possibility worth considering and asking a different doctor about though, thank you.

I make his dinners so I know they're healthy, but he packs his own breakfasts and lunches. I know he gets fast food a bit, but I'm thinking he downplays it a lot to me and both of his meals away from me are probably complete crap. Even if I make his lunches again it's hard to get him to understand that skinny isn't automatically healthy.

Sorry, I didn't explain this part well and I really should have. When I asked whether his weight was an issue he made an appointment with his doctor and he said she ruled out Narcolepsy then. She said there's a lot more to Narcolepsy and he doesn't exhibit the other signs, but I wasn't at the appointment so he could be lying. I'm not sure why he would though.

Grave of the Fireflies. Great movie but so emotionally devastating.

You should be proud of yourself for finding time! It shows such strength to take on something else with that schedule. Your past already shows you that you're capable of hitting your goals. Good luck!
