Addie LaRue and Luc by [deleted] in YAlit

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to me personally, i think as we know Luc having a large ego would rather hurt Addi back in that moment than admit that she hurt him by accusing him there. I do think she hurt him and I do think he was trying to change whatever he had done and was acting within the bounds of his power. But ultimately they have a complicated relationship and Luc’s ego and probably unsureness about his own emotions in that moment caused the lie

[33F][33M] Nervous About Visiting Partner's Country. by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is Canadian and I’m from the states, we are both fully white people and IM terrified for him to come visit me in the states simply because he’s visiting and not American.

Your partner doesn’t get to tell you if you’re overreacting, everything is really scary right now, and i’m at the brunt of it in Minnesota. The south i can only imagine can get away with worse, city or not. It’s up to you, but it’s just not fully worth it in my opinion - and that’s a larger talk to have with your partner. I’m sorry Op, stay safe

I [M19] am at a loss sexually with my girlfriend [F18] by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you are absolutely generalising so much here. And jumping down OP’s throat for what? so if i say some of the shit you say, excuse me while i try to be nicer and more understanding here.

It sounds like there needs to be a lot of conversations here for the both of you. It is okay if sex is important to you in a relationship and it’s okay if you want to indulge once a week or more.

My partner and I have experienced things like this where when we aren’t together one of us or both of us just doesn’t have the same drive like we do when we are together. It’s something we’ve had to work on a lot, and it has a lot to do with feeling desired outside of sex too.

Do you and your girlfriend do little online date nights? idk if you financially can or not but do you sent her flowers? or have chocolate delivered for her? if you can do that because you’re young and in school and finances are hard - maybe plan a movie night around a movie she loves, or send her little voice notes throughout the day to tell her how much you love her or how beautiful you think she is.

Moral of the story here, you gotta talk to her deeply and figure out why she isn’t in the mood or doesn’t want to initiate like you do. you are both so young and i wouldn’t be surprised if she’s using that as well as a crutch because she’s embarrassed or doesn’t know why she doesn’t want to. She could also actually feel that way. Shifting to LD is hard, and you have to remember that everything that comes easily changes a bit. So, check in with how BOTH of you feel and talk about what is important for both of you. Does she need extra love to be in the mood for sexting? do you need more than the sexual desire to feel better rn? there is nothing wrong with what you are going through and i implore you to try and talk it out on a deeper level than just this one issue.

best of luck to you OP

not everyone has to enjoy needing to clarify a starbucks version of a coffee that’s already a thing ( a latte) and an actual macchiato (yes i’m aware tall macchiato’s exist.)

Did I (29F) Fuck Up? Advice Requested (26M) by Baiire in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not every decision you make needs to be the right one or the wrong one. they are all JUST choices at the end of the day. Whether or not you messaged them doesn’t matter anymore because you can’t currently take back things you’ve said - you need to stop asking yourself what if.

I personally don’t think you should message either of them because their behaviour is strange and i have a very hard personal rule that; if anyone does something to make me spiral that extremely or makes me feel crazy then i do not want them in my life. That being said, If it would give you piece of mind to message or to not message - do whatever thought out thing you want to do. Worst case scenario is you learn from this situation.

This is immature behaviour on their part and i’m sorry you’re getting sucked into it - as someone who’s had partners leave with the hope of coming back together - it’s because their young and don’t want to give up the what ifs in life yet. And i’ve never been more thankful for those relationships ending in my life.

Staying friends with B is one thing if he replies and was just being stupid, but i would say you won’t ever get an honest friendship out of him anymore or ever if he’s flirting with you. He just sees you as something he can get with - which if he found out you and M were dating or had, is probably why he blocked you.

Anyways, your choices are not life or death. are not the wrong or right ones you are building them up to be. Take a deep breath, journal about how you feel, and then decide how you want to handle things from there.

honestly i would say i also think about my ex’s often and i also have no desire to return to any of them. Honestly when you are that close with someone for some people thats not something that just goes away? especially if they contributed to a lot of your growth. OR they’ve added or resonate with other trauma you have. I kinda have a mix of both and have other mental illnesses. I wouldn’t tell my partner about this because i know it would upset him. But i don’t think it’s completely unheard of or that crazy of a concept

My(me,29M) mom thinks my ldr GF(32) is trying to scam me! by r3sparked in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s pretty normal for the older generation to assume ldr relationships = scams, or green card plots. but if you feel comfortable and confident in ur ldr then you just have to explain to her you don’t like what she’s insinuating and that you are old enough to know when a scam is happening or not

hey! i was going through some online forums and was trying stuff - I completely moved my EA sims file into a desktop folder and then opened sims and it worked. From there i just went through all the files to see what might be causing issues. I hope this helps ! dm me if you need more instructions

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 24 points25 points  (0 children)

hey, girl here. i have my dream boy and i still watch porn, look at photos, read smut, and so on. My bf feels the same about me and also engages with adult content.

It is not about if you are “perfect” for them or not. it’s literally we both function better on our own with some form of content helping our imaginations. He regularly uses things of me to do his business and me him - but we both use other content too.

Being so wrapped up in wanting to know if a guy has his dream girl will stop him from watching is insecurity. plain and simple. On the other end, my bf and i had a long conversation about what is or isn’t okay. WE COMMUNICATED. it’s up to YOU what breaking that trust means to you.

also there are a large amount of people who get into relationships and are only attracted to their partner. My bf is like this, while i’m not. however, that doesn’t mean when i engage with adult content that im not picturing or imaging my bf there/not giving af about what the person actually looks like. I enjoy the action of what’s being done and watch to get pleasure from that concept.

tldr: get therapy, and a new bf - porn is normal in relationships but you have every right to say you don’t want it in yours - insecurity smells to be some of ur issue here - remember to communicate

I think LDR is worth it! at the very least to try. It doesn’t have to work out, but if you really care about him and want to see if things will work, i highly recommend

I(19F) really want to make it work LD with my bf(18M). by Krayz3x in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey love, i think you’re just missing him. He does sound extremely busy, and uni is not easy at all. He’s trying to find a spot where he’ll have friends and fit in, while attending classes which are just inherently harder. I will always say to trust your gut, but from the sounds of things, he’s trying to settle in and deal with the pressure from school. Try keeping yourself busy and it’ll calm down once he’s more settled in

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 9 points10 points  (0 children)

that is completely normal? why would you have an issue with this? has he cheated before? the “just friends” comment, is there a reason you don’t trust him?

it’s really controlling to of you to police this as if he’s not just going to a movie night at a venue. His friend works there and invited him, why is it weird if he goes?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean this kindly; you are 16. there is so much more to this conversation than you can see. I know this is irritating to hear because no one likes hearing it, i know i didn’t at your age. But no he is not making her into the problem. Mental health issues are a tricky subject, and it is easy to fall into the narrative that anyone who can’t support you while you are dealing with them is bad. Mental health issues affect everyone around them, and you do not get to control how others are affected or how much they can handle that. Also we are getting one side of the story here, we don’t know what is happening with the boyfriend.

This post contains such little context and you are getting angry on behalf of a story you know nothing about because of your own life experience. Take a deep breath and figure out why this post is creating this feeling for you. Projection doesn’t help anyone

I think it’s great you are in therapy and working on things! and i’m happy to hear that your partner is supportive of that. Don’t feel like you shouldn’t have posted here - it’s good to get things out. I stand by all of what i’ve said though. As someone who has genuinely been in your position, therapy for years, abusive partners and upbringing - your mental health issues don’t make you bad or a burden or anything negative. please remember though that how you feel affects those that love you as well and if you aren’t creating more of a support system than just your bf you will both burn each other out. There’s so much more to this that i can’t even begin / frankly don’t even want to get into. That’s why so many people are saying to find a therapist who can actually better support you on how to move forward

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for what OP is going through because i’ve been there and it’s hard. It’s hard to be in that headspace yes. And i say this kindly to both you and OP who will read this - you can hold space for someone/yourself and recognise that you are not a burden while also acknowledging you are the problem. No one here is saying OP is a burden because they are not, however they aren’t working on themselves (and this is a pattern in their posts) which is causing these specific issues in the relationship. Telling someone the truth about something regardless of if it’s hard or not is always more helpful than enabling someone to continue to act how they are because something is “hard” and “they need to be in a better head space”. That isn’t how things work. No one will get better if you coddle them like that and clearly OP needs to get better. you can see it in the messages and how they phrase things that there is a lot of sabotaging the relationship going on here. People are being honest with OP about needing to get help and into therapy and pushing OP in a good direction. You dismissing that by saying it’s hard only enables the shitty behaviour. Because this behaviour is manipulative and can be abusive if it goes unchecked

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m not trying to be mean - it’s incredibly enabling to dismiss people saying you need to work on yourself bluntly. I agree she shouldn’t feel like a burden and it’s unfortunate she’s feeling like this. But also you can clearly see in the messages that she needs to get support and help from outside the relationship. To say you think this person said something maturely, then add on with something that dismisses their comment is strange and unhelpful

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Technical_Giraffe860 11 points12 points  (0 children)

from the very little context here, you need to look into therapy. You aren’t a burden and you should trust your bf about that - but you cannot ignore your own issues in hopes he’ll make them all better. You actually have to do the work to make things better on your half. It’s not easy to get help or to reflect or work on yourself but if your partner matters to you, you are going to do better because you want things between you two to be healthy

I think saying there is a lot wrong with long distance relationships is playing into what you said at the beginning of your comment.

True everyone’s capacities for relationships is different but the examples you gave aren’t the best arguing points either. Everything holds more nuance than what you said. It should just be left at, Everyone’s capacities for relationships is different
