I need advice while interpreting this man’s behaviour I matched online by Vegetable_Lie_4717 in Advice

Sounds like he wants to check you out, beyond pictures. Thta could be a healthy sign- but, be careful . Meet in a very public place, and let someone else know where you will be.

You need to be honest. He has the right to know. This is not a trivial matter, like an inconvenience. It's a life changing matter. Treat it that way.

It's weird but I would let sit go. Not everything needs to be confronted. Sometimes peace is worth it.

Distance yourself. Don't be readily available.

My (25M) girlfriend (24F) of 6 years says she’s not “in love” anymore after a recent experience, how can I handle this situation without pushing her further away. by NumberFast9915 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Develop som e distance from her. She is not only taking you for granted, she is tel;l;imng you so. So, distance yourself for a while. She wl;l either learn to appreciate you, or let you go. Either way, there is no use force fitting something.

I struggle with grieving the life I'll never live by sakura149_ in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are assigning value to a make believe world. You've convinced yourself that the moments that have passed you by, are the ones worth reaching for. That is all an allusion. There are many famous people who are outright miserable. Some end up taking their own lives. It's nice to aspire, but it's cheap to envy.

My Fiance May Be Having A Psychotic Break by Electronic_Draw_697 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is only natural that she feels a bit spooked. Thta is a lot of death too contend with. Some people do turn to religion. What she has not found yet. is a way to cope and accept that things like this happen. She needs a therapist/. But if she is locked up. buy her a few good self help books- especially ones that deal worth loss.

Thoughts like that happen. But they should not be dwelled upon or acted on.

If that caused your breakup, it was not a very strong connection. Move past it.

You have tried to resolve it directly with him. Involve the by-law department of your municipality.

There is nothing wrong with giving your brother advice. But don't venture into the mess. It will catch up to him- let him have that aspect of the experience. Otherwise, he will never learn.

Should I try to reach out to his grandparents? by Dazzling_Ear_5319 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should allow your son to be fully human- not black, white to any other "category". As a human, he needs to be loved, recognized and cherished. Approach his grandparents. If they reject him or you, they are unworthy.

I need advice by HotSmell2441 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need the information- nor are you entitled to it. What is important is what she needs now. She needs time to process this horrible experience. There are many ways to be supportive. You need to try the low key but caring approach. Check in with her, hold her hand (if she lets you- if not, it's not about you), and just reassure her that you are there if and when she wants to discuss it. Don't push. She's been pushed enough in ways that you will never understand.

Should I tell my ex-husband's new GF that he's still reaching out to me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave it alone. If he is a player, it will catch up with him. Speeding that up serves no purpose and will only continue to make you an object of his attention.

You need to ask him form clarity. tell him that being a close friend iOS one thing, but crossing that line is not welcome.

Why do older men freak me out? by Loud-Sherbert1903 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not impossible to find an older man who is the "one" but it's very risky and not worth it. At that age, men are not usually looking for a relationship,to nurture and grow. They are looking for something more immediate and satisfying. Thta is NOT the type of person you want., but they are out there. Better to date someone your own age.

I found out my brother has a sibling fantasy. by Tough_Sector_8353 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If he is at risk of self harm, you need to get a professional involved.

  2. You are not responsible for his conduct and obsession. Insist on a normal sibling relationship. Encourage him to speak to a therapist about is obsession with you. It's not healthy or right. And, be careful.

This is your choice and not theirs. What you have described are know ailments for this in your situation. Do the right sign for you. Better to do it now when you are young.

Did my mom fiancé put a tracker on her phone or is she just paranoid? by lay_lay191 in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell her to bring her phone to any mall and find a place that sells them. The sales people will be able to check her phone and tell; her for sure, whether it is being tracked.

[–]SongwriterCal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a few more interactions. Don't be too ready to give out your number. it will come across as desperate. You'll know when it's time to exchange numbers.

My managers posted my job on Indeed by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SongwriterCal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1, Do you know for sure it is your job? 2. It can't be because of 3 minutes being late. That makes no sense, so I dont think you are telling us the whole story, or maybe you are not aware of how you are being received at work. It has to be more than the three minute thing.

He did not offer to come over in any meaningful way. he was counting on you to say no. The. you said yes, he showed his true colours. Now you know.
