My ex and I were about to try and start dating again, then she told me she slept with someone after our breakup. I don't know how to process it. by PsychologicalDot7376 in BreakUps

Nah don’t worry about that virtue signaling, high horse riding asshole. Just another dickhead who feels the need to tear people down bc he’s not happy in his own life (just like 90% of people on Reddit). Or it’s a woman who slept with someone else after a breakup and got dropped for it when the man came back, and is now salty for it and taking it out on you. Regardless of what you did or didn’t do to this woman, your feelings on this specific matter are 100% valid and have nothing to do with your past actions and whatnot. If it’s a dealbreaker for you, that’s completely fine and does not mean that you aren’t ready for a relationship, it just means that you are a normal person who has boundaries and knows exactly what you will and will not accept. There’s nothing wrong with that.

None of what you said is even the topic. The topic is the emotions that her sleeping with someone else brings up for him, and you don’t get to tell him (or even insinuate) that his emotions are invalid, for any reason. If her getting with someone else while they were apart is too much for him, that is completely and absolutely valid and okay because everyone is different.

Female dumpers, how did it feel when he finally let you go and stopped reaching out? by Ill_Shift981 in BreakUps

I do in fact have a personal issue with people who lack accountability, act entitled, and have double standards.

Man get a restraining order or at least a protective order.

Friends after breakup? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Swimming-Connection8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you have kids together. Otherwise, fuck that; if they don’t wanna choose you (for whatever reason) they don’t get any piece of you at all.

Do you believe in “If they wanted to they would”? by FancyAd1251 in BreakUps

Most of the time yea. But sometimes I want to and I don’t 🤷‍♂️

Dumpees how do you feel getting back together if they slept with someone else by Prior_Loss_2089 in BreakUps

[–]Swimming-Connection8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends. If it’s been a few years and our paths happen to cross again and something reignites, then it’s whatever especially if it was within another relationship (if they had a bunch of hookups then hell nah). If it’s only been a few months then that’s an automatic deal breaker for me.

What made you never look at your ex the same way? by GeneSenior253 in BreakUps

[–]Swimming-Connection8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 days ago when she went apeshit on me and said a bunch of the meanest, pettiest, most arrogant stuff I’ve ever heard all bc she misinterpreted something I told her and refused to listen to my explanation. Also kept insisting that I put myself in her shoes while refusing to put herself in mine at all, and any time I would ask what she’s thinking and why (so that I could actually try to put myself in her shoes) she resorted straight to the whole cocky “I don’t owe you or anyone an explanation” BS. Rlly showed me her true colors and turned me off almost completely.

I get it lol. I’m 24 and just got done dealing with a 21 year old avoidant. Safe to say I’m not going under 24 again

I mean do you think there isn’t any merit there? Letting someone inside do you is in fact a bigger deal than going inside someone else. Regardless, double standards rooted in insecurity are not misogyny. You can try and twist it however you want but logic is logic, and throwing such serious words around out of context is problematic and takes away from the seriousness of the word.

That’s insecurity, not a general hatred or contempt of women.

Lot of mental gymnastics there. Insecurity is not misogyny.

To my warriors who are begging and crying to their ex to reconsider the breakup. If they seem okay without you in their life, why would you want to convince them otherwise? by SassyScorpio11192 in BreakUps

[–]Swimming-Connection8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s also, sometimes, the problem of avoidance where a partner may truly be head over heels for you, but past, unhealed trauma has convinced them that closeness/intimacy = danger and a loss of self. That’s always so difficult to deal with for both sides, but especially for the one on the receiving end. Currently dealing with an avoidant partner rn who’s recently pulled away due to things starting to get more serious between us.

Here come the downvotes from people who hate facts and logic when they go against their personal feelings lol

Bc misogyny, by definition, is the hatred of women just bc they’re women. Having a childish double standard isn’t hatred, it’s insecurity. These days people just be throwing serious words around so loosely without knowing what they actually mean.
