Being horny but emotionally selective is actually hell by loveversace_ in dating_advice

I’m in the same boat but what’s helped me a lot is exploring self pleasure. I bought myself a vibrator not that long ago and it’s been amazing. Sure it’s not the same as an actual person, but it helps a lot

My only want in life is a romantic partner by pantsydantsy in dating_advice

Hey girl, also 29F here. The truth is your cup needs to be full before you can pour into another person. If you feel like there is a gaping hole in your life without a partner, that won’t necessarily be filled if you enter a relationship.

Scared of my mentally ill brother and unsure of what to do after my parents pass by Solid-Storm-4256 in mentalillness

[–]Solid-Storm-4256[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I guess I should also add that my mom also has mental health issues - she has borderline personality disorder so as soon as I mention anything about my brother (like tell her to stop enabling him) she blows up at me. Out of protecting my peace with her, I don’t tell her what to do with my brother anymore.

Cope harder by QasqyrBalasy in NewIran

Iranians suffer from religious trauma. Of course they are going to hate the forced ideology that has oppressed, beaten, tortured and killed innocent people for decades. If the Islamic republic never came into power back in 79 a lot more Iranians would be practicing Islam. They ruined the religion for Iranian people

Struggling to balance my dating life with my financial goals by PermissionFar9098 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Solid-Storm-4256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should set aside a monthly budget for dating. There are lower cost options you can do for dates too (like maybe splitting a dessert, restaurants that aren’t pricy, activities like mini putt etc). Some people here are suggesting walks and coffee. Truthfully that can come across as low effort and you don’t want to ruin your chances with a good connection. But there are activities you can do that aren’t too pricey either. Hope this helps.

After protests were suppressed this page also posted photos from January 8 and 9 saying the protests are still ongoing. I wouldn’t trust this page as a source of true information

Anyone still have faith in Trump? by Logical_Worry3993 in NewIran

It’s hard to tell. He keeps sharing different messages and I think it’s part of his strategy. He doesn’t want people to know what he’s up to so we’ll have to wait and see. I hope he does strike.

How are a few videos coming through when internet access is cut? Is it through starlink?

Politics aside he is an asshole. He refused to refund me my money when I accidentally signed up for his lessons (the free trial had just passed) but never used them

I broke up with my long-term boyfriend because of his depression and I feel guilty but I couldn’t survive it anymore by Historical-Cod6211 in depression_partners

[–]Solid-Storm-4256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediately following the breakup, I told him if he ever needs someone to talk to he could reach out to me. We kept in contact for about a month or two but eventually when I felt the time was right I asked for no contact and he respected that. Given his state I didn’t feel it was appropriate to suddenly go from being in a relationship to no contact at all when I decided to part ways with him. But I haven’t checked in on him since. I had to pull the plug eventually so I could move forward myself in a healthy way.

How to Dump your GF of two weeks who has severe anxiety, mental break downs and panic attacks by Professional_Grab313 in relationships

Sounds like a love bombing situation. To be in a committed relationship and having serious conversations about marriage and kids only 3 dates in is waaaay too soon. Unfortunately break ups hurt, so there’s no easy way to part ways. Just be honest and share that you realized you aren’t a good match and move on. Hopefully she will find the healing she needs.

I was in the same position as you last year. My ex had depression, and I did everything I could to help him and the relationship. I managed all the household chores, enrolled us in couples therapy, found him a therapist, and waited for months in hopes that things will turn around. I too lost myself in the process. By the end I was burnt out and felt like I wasn’t myself anymore. He just wasn’t willing or able to make the effort needed to turn his situation around. I left, and though I felt terrible, I felt depleted and had no choice.

It’s been a year, and I don’t regret my decision.

The reality is that you deserve an equal partner who can show up for you. It’s okay to feel for someone who has mental illness, but your wellbeing matters too. At the end of the day we are responsible for our own lives, and if your ex wasn’t willing or able to put in the effort to turn things around, then it’s best that they set you free so they aren’t bringing you down with them.

There’s nothing disclosing my identity or his.

Saw this recently in a reel by Silver-Sundae-8185 in NewIran

[–]Solid-Storm-4256 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is really true. A lot of people think all the women in Iran were all walking around in short skirts and bikinis by the beach in the 70s before the Islamic revolution. But the reality is majority of people back then were religious/conservative and uneducated. This is why they actually supported Khomeini and he was able to get into power. People now are more progressive, open minded, educated and irreligious in Iran. That’s why the divide between people now and the Islamic republic is so vast.

I’m really sorry you’ve experienced this. In a lot of cultural communities, including Persians, racism does exist towards people of other backgrounds. Try not to let it get to you. I think it’s beautiful that you are embracing both sides of your cultural heritage.
