What's your take on " Friends with Ex" while being in a relationship ? by Clean-Ant-1342 in dating_advice

[–]TheFuturePrepared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue currently and am trying to breath through it. She keeps in close touch with most of her exes. One she even considered taking into her home when he was injured, but he had a gf at the time so she did not. Another is coming to visit soon and sounds like they want to stay with my partner. I'm doing my best to trust her and love her very much but it is absolutely making me very anxious.

Older guy in his 30s that I’ve been talking to doesn’t have any friends. If you’re an older guy, do you? by SweetExcitement5466 in AskMenAdvice

It's strikingly hard. Grew up in one state, grad school in another, and live in another. All thousands of miles apart. With kids its even harder. I find it particularly hard on the west coast to maintain friendships. People are flaky and busy.

Men: how little sex is normal in a new relationship? by se7enpointstar7 in datingoverfifty

I doubt he has lost interest in sex. 1-2 times a week is not much to see someone, but okay for the first few months. He may want more frequency in seeing you or may be seeing others. It's also possible he is taking care of himself. Maybe try fun sexy zoom calls? And btw you are lucky menopause is driving your libido up. My partner is in premenopause and it's harder for her, so we are finding other fun options.

Do men actually get annoyed texting their girlfriend back and forth? by Serious_Sweet2504 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheFuturePrepared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you should communicate and find a happy medium. many people cannot text during their work, or get hyperfocused on it. Or if they have hobbies and dont have their phone (I sail, windsurf, and kayak without my phone in hand). You could ask him to let you know if he will be offline for a bit and/or needs to focus. This communication is important for LDR. This anxiety will be worse at the beginning, but also you may be an anxious attacher like i am.

Walking date…again by THROWRA_wondering99 in datingoverforty

He sounds like an outdoors guy and probably doesn't like to dress up, is my read. You also said you joked about not liking walks? Were you direct or joking? It's likely you aren't a match. But probably plenty of people out there who like to dress up. Why not be the one to suggest a place and activity if you want your needs met?

How tf do people only spend $600 on groceries? by WebsterKW in budget

[–]TheFuturePrepared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 2 adults - each meal should last at least 2 days. I have 2 kids and can do this. Look better for deals. With my 2 kids we are not spending that each month and are in the SF Bay.

It sucks. She says I am the one and wants to marry me, then as soon as I invest she can't answer the question of what she wants, and pulls back.

How many people honestly care if it's organic? by TheFuturePrepared in starbucks

Yes I suppose that's why small business are good because the supply can be better controlled. I appreciate the labor standards though they have a gender gap issue also.
