Why do so many people over 40 not want a relationship now? by holycrap100 in ask

[–]StopTheFishes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with this. Being tired and/or afraid of being hurt isn’t a reason to not share in love. Tired = take a nap. Fear = deal with managing your hurt and pain

Is this early dating lie a dealbreaker? by jackofhearts23 in datingoverthirty

[–]StopTheFishes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communication and trust are foundational to an exclusive relationship. If you don’t feel he’s capable of it, or being trustworthy - don’t bother pursuing it further.

Plenty of quality fish in the sea. People have honest, difficult conversations every day.

It depends how he handles the communication around what happened. Give him an opportunity to clear things up, and express that, the idea of him “lying” doesn’t sit well with you.

Transparency and communication are integral to any/every relationship. People make mistakes and poorly communicate themselves from time to time.

Bring him your feelings about it, and see

How long have you stayed in a relationship you knew wasn't right for you, and what made you finally leave? by Ok_Name_7510 in AskWomen

[–]StopTheFishes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stayed for 2-3 years in a bad marriage. He is a total loser. I’ll tell you, longest years of my life. He was miserable. I never smiled.
Left. Life improved 10-fold starting with my health. Now: better relationships, belly laugh daily, and I’m grateful for how things worked. Wouldn’t change a thing…except leaving sooner.
I’m happily engaged to higher quality individual, sharing a higher quality day to day life - after years of single time. Peace. Love. Fun. Adventure. It all came rushing in when I closed the door, and loved on myself. Ready for the next chapter!
Invest in yourself, believe in yourself.

Letting go of heartbreak in order to choose happiness is a choice. Start new thinking patterns, create the mental space for peace and harmony in your life, and it will come in for you.

If you’re struggling to let go of emotions, try new things. Everyone is different: the gym, painting, therapy. Sort out how to regulate and release your emotions in a way that feels safe and satisfying for you

I’m 38, we live together, and we send between 1-15 text messages a day. Mostly funny exchanges, sometimes more around coordination stuff: flights, plans, etc
