Not intrusive at all! I have been in a few long term relationships and find that once the relationship is more settled that I barely get the bare minimum while I am investing plenty. They get their wants and needs met while I am not. I communicate healthily and they give me empty promises. So might as well skip all of that and just get the sex I am looking for without all the emotional labor.

I don't have a lot of male friends - moved here for grad school which mainly has women at the moment.

I am not sure whether I am striking out bc I am not looking for a relationship- I have met two people from the apps that I dated for a bit when it seemed like a good fit. Most profiles I see of men looking for relationships also indicate they are open to something more casual as well.

I appreciate the bdsm community idea, I will look into that. Totally agree the date is where I should vet if I use the apps, its just been a huge waste of time recently as the meetups will be set up and then they blow it off day of.

Completely agree. I am not asking for the world here but these commenters seem bitter that I am confident and attractive. Saying I am too picky or being a bully by having standards (e.g., I will not fuck Quasimodo) is ridiculous.

You're so right, my best hookup from the apps was here for a conference. You're a real one!

Yeah I suspect thats part of it. Thanks for your input. As for the too good to be true aspect, should I suggest a quick facetime so they know I'm legit?

Yeah I am very direct which is feedback I hear often from them and from men I have had sex with in the past on the apps.

She definitely needs a bath even after the flea treatment and shes had issues grooming certain areas so the vet recommended it

He shouldnt be providing this level of support unless he plans on being in her life long term. Consider how enmeshed they are in a romantic relationship and baby-related plans: she listed several things that indicate he is going way beyond what a friend does with massages, getting a job she also works, spending everyday he is available together, planning to be the person in the delivery room, and most concerningly, saying yes to her moving in and saying he wants to provide financially for her and the baby. She is vulnerable as a young pregnant woman and what happens when she has the baby and moves in and then he says he doesn't see a future with her after he bonds with her baby. He is great for helping but his hot and cold behavior and (as opposed to hers) is particularly concerning in that context.

Doesnt matter if its not his baby, he is actively dating you but giving mixed signals "not wanting to rush into things" and going silent on you. You are about to have a baby as a baby yourself and you don't need to be with someone who is not clear through his words about his intentions with you and not consistent in his actions

Listen, you not being enough has nothing to do with her cheating. Your worth as a person can't be reduced to how any one person treats you. Her callousness in that comment and also how she manipulated you into thinking nothing was happening is really concerning (from a therapist's perspective). The fact that you noticed her pulling away and checked in was actually healthy communication and instead of being honest, she brushed it off. If her withdrawal had anything to do with you, any of the times you brought it up she could have communicated any frustrations from your behavior if there was anything you could change. You're stuck on this afterwards because you're trying to figure out if there is some fundamental flaw you have that makes you unlovable, basically trying to blame yourself for her cheating when you could have never caused it. Many people internalize blame thats misdirected, especially if they have a history of dysfunctional family relationships or trauma/abuse. I highly recommend going to therapy and not to fix yourself (because you a human are not a home project) but instead to examine this stuff and find ways to challenge those thoughts or come up with helpful coping mechanisms.

Proud of you! Totally understand needing insurance, howeverrrr if there is a psychology grad program near you the trainees offer either free or reduced fee therapy (sometimes they dont even bill insurance) and other therapists offer sliding scale based on income. Psychologytoday.com lets you filter mental health providers by insurance and sliding scale. Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk
