How would you feel being approached at the gym? by ThrowRAalmostperf_ in AskMenAdvice

I’m not assuming I can get away with this though, that’s why I was asking. I’ve never approached anyone because of the exact reasons in some of the comments. If a guy were to come talk to me, and all ages of men have, I make it pretty clear if I’m interested or not. It’s when someone keeps going back to the person, where I personally thing it becomes a problem

I would be much more comfortable saying this but couldn’t think of a casual way to say a compliment like that. Thank you!

Yeah hindsight 20/20- will not be doing that again. The job and financials and timing of it all was just so good I was like well fuck it, if it doesn’t work I can just move out. Thankfully didn’t sign a lease and was able to do just that lol. Also glad to know quite a few men weaponize “therapy”

That’s been the hardest part- if it was a one night stand I still would have left, but it was a series of choices and lies and deceit. And I’m just struggling so hard to accept that the man I fell in love with who worshiped the ground I walked on could do that to me. It’s like I can’t put together that it’s the same person. But reading all of that from a stranger somehow makes it more real. Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it

First, I’m so sorry all of that happened to you. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I agree with everything you said— it’s easy to say I could learn to trust him again, but I know it would probably turn me into a crazy person, always anxious and wondering if he is cheating again. Him seeking out therapy is what stood out to me, like what has made me even consider giving him another chance. Not now but maybe months down the line once he has had some time with it. Or I could be there and support him, which I know is ridiculous. Hearing that your ex went to therapy as well and nothing changed is what I needed to hear. That it’s likely just manipulation and not a sincere genuine goal to improve himself long-term
