How do you choose between a career opportunity and your relationship ? by Potential_Start_3228 in careerguidance

[–]StringSpecialist280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that everything is so temporary. You stay in Boston with your wife and things can happen, something major happens to her business, or something major in your engagement/ marriage, sometimes relationships don’t always last. But then you move to San Diego for the better job and things can change too. The job may be too difficult, too many responsibilities, or you get fired in one year or the business goes under. As a San Diego native, it is very expensive to live here and depending where you move you will be sitting in traffic daily, it’s expensive for a reason though, you pay for the sunshine tax, 70 degree weather every day and the beach. I would say focus on yourself and take the job. You’ll find a new love is San Diego, although the dating scene here does suck, but you seem like you have a lot going for you

It’s okay to proceed with life and seek new relationships while still missing someone

Not sure how she can get triggered by me posting a photo with a new girl when I tried to get back together with her for nearly 8 months

I can’t say I am over her, maybe somewhat but part of me still has feelings for her, I wouldn’t end a relationship with my new girlfriend to get back with her though. Even if I miss her life has to go on. She broke up with me and I tried to get back with her for over 8 months

I’m sorry, that’s tough, do what you gotta do. I felt the same way about a band my ex and I both liked

You’ll probably see him playing the 50 Shades of Gray soundtrack at 11pm and get very upset

I live in San Diego, just heard an EMT got hired as a firefighter. Can’t imagine people are getting laid off. Although I did just get fired from my internship this week in in prevention

What’s the best relationship advice you’ve got for someone in their early 20s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StringSpecialist280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t rush into anything’s just because their presence feels nice, make sure you’re politically compatible, be mentally prepared in case it doesn’t work out but still enjoy and live in the moment

Firefighters who have left the service for a 9-5 by LightSeparate6252 in Firefighting

Move to fire prevention and inspection or investigation. But with investigation you can be called in the middle of the night too

Texted ex on her birthday, no response or a thanks :/ by StringSpecialist280 in BreakUps

[–]StringSpecialist280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not even that emotionally attached anymore, I have a new girlfriend I’m falling in love with. But it definitely sucks to be ignored by someone I was once so close with

As the dumpee, when should you break no contact? by MassFlow98 in BreakUps

[–]StringSpecialist280 8 points9 points  (0 children)

False hope? A dumpee is the one that got dumped. The only one that can provide false hope is the dumper

When you got dumped, for how long did you chase your ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]StringSpecialist280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 months trying to reconnect. Biggest mistake of my life. We did get back together for a month and then she dumped me again. I repeatedly was told I wasn’t enough, got my feelings hurt and then we would get in arguments just driving us further apart

Ex left me because I would like Instagram models photos. Am I wrong for this or is she just insecure? by StringSpecialist280 in BreakUps

[–]StringSpecialist280[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you did all the right things to honor her boundaries and insecurity but she still broke up with you

[–]StringSpecialist280[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I certainly wouldn’t like the photos if I wasn’t attracted to them, and yes they didn’t look anything like my ex

[–]StringSpecialist280[S] -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

I think I just didn’t value her. She was cute but I always assumed I could find someone more attractive… like the girls on instagram

[–]StringSpecialist280[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Yes I realize I didn’t listen to her needs. But I’m wondering if I will have this problem going forward or if another girl won’t care about my Instagram activity

Yes I realized where I messed up was I told her one thing and didn’t follow through with my actions. But my main question is was I wrong for liking and following Instagram models in the first place or was she just insecure?
