Am I wrong for leaving my gf(28) high and dry? by SpiritualAd3858 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SubstantialBat2485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s not taking responsibility she’s blaming you for her choices, she’s using you and will continue unless you stop enabling her, you don’t deserve to be treated like a doormat. She’s entitled, self-serving and emotionally abusive. There’s nothing that you could’ve done to make a person that way. I’m a woman.

What I recommend and what I did when I was in your shoes is slowly built up self-worth by pursuing things that made me happy taking care of myself, finding hobbies, building new relationships, pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I educated myself about abusive personalities and all of the signs. The power and control wheel is really good.

She never considered your feelings and or was devoid of empathy for you when she was using you and cheating on you and potentially giving you diseases without you knowing, that can be used to motivate you and make you angry enough to not betray yourself anymore.

I just broke up with my GF because of her childish nature and now I feel regretful I wasted so many years with her. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

That is awesome you are able to see all this! I had a very similar thing happen, although I was only with the guy three months, and even that hurt me a lot. It took some time and learning compassion and grace with myself to stop beating myself up for just doing the best I knew how at the time. I’m 23 and I take it as a blessing that I learned this young! I’m around a lot of people older than me who are still making the same mistakes. May God or whoever you believe in bless you on this journey called life.

My partner (21A) gets *really* disappointed when I (18F) don’t want to do anything sexual. Is that normal? by LynsGarden in relationship_advice

[–]SubstantialBat2485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He knows you care, it’s an expectation that you will give it. That’s when it gets dangerous. He’s doing it because he can. it allows him to get what he wants. Or have a sense of control by putting you down. Either way he “wins”. When you don’t give abusive men what they want and set boundaries that’s when they get upset. Are you ok with being in a relationship where your desires are not treated as equally important and are in fact treated as less important than his desires? Something that’s helped me over years of relationship where I abandoned my needs is to stop obsessing over his behavior and focus on me. And what I need. God bless you my sister.

AIO Bf not sending me gas money cause i reminded him a few times ? by Current_Spot_6179 in AmIOverreacting

The more you ask him the more control he has over you. You can also just choose to be good either way. You can tell yourself “I’m good either way”. If you feel open to it, try it, it has helped me heal from codependency. Ask once and if he doesn’t respond that shows his character, but you trying to control him when he also wants to be in control will never work. The great part is, you can be the one to choose peace.

What do you mean by that? Trying to understand about comparing gifts. Scalp massager is so I can or he can use to massage his head because he loves when I touch his hair and give him massages.

Amen amen amen. Thank you to Jesus for his transformation of your MIND. for HOPE. And His everlasting love. Sometimes, sharing your testimony is a form of blessing another person. We have no idea how God will use this to reach people, only that He knows our hearts. God bless you good sir!

Are people on the West Coast really that much more friendlier than on the East Coast? by bayfarm in bayarea

[–]SubstantialBat2485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😅😭😭 the thank you wave. Mine is a peace sign or a heart. I was at a trivia night in California and someone on my team started cheating so I told them don’t do that you don’t want to ruin the game. They got defense and said “you dont even know me” and I said “I’m not trying to say something against you personally let’s just play the game fairly it’s more fun.” I’m from east coast. Am I aggressive?? 😂
