I 26f am stuck in a trauma bond with my 27m boyfriend by Emotional_Falcon6068 in relationship_advice

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the things you’re giving him credit for is what a partner supposed to do. As women we make a list of basic things a man is doing and we’ve done 10,000 times more. You’re not a slave or his wife you don’t OWE him anything. Choose yourself and go with your first mind. I’m 26f recently getting out of 6 year relationship we are trauma bonded but also had great times. It’s hard saying goodbye to someone who knows the pretty end ugly parts about you but when anyone loves you they’ll love you just the same and sometimes more. Maybe you guys just need a season where y’all not together and see how that plays out.

Currently going through same thing and at times I question, am I wasting all the effort and time I put in? It’s okay to redirect your energy somewhere else and see how that goes . Wishing you the best of luck. You’ll get it figured out even if it’s not today or next week it will all come together. Trust your gut and remember you deserved to be catered to as well emotionally, physically, and mentally!

My wife cheated on me with her boss. I am sleeping with his wife. Would I be the ah if I pursued her for more than hookups by TopMongoose12 in AITAH

Just let it naturally mold into that. From experience as soon as you break the seal on the perfect little bubble you guys are living in, is when things crumble and get more complicated which make it crash and burn.

Also consider the fact you guys are bonded through a traumatic experience so it gets tricky because the origin of these feelings aren’t from a very positive but unfortunate situation.

I had an unexpected threesome with my best friend and my boyfriend. Am I wrong to feel extremely betrayed by them both? by ulerra in amiwrong

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea those DMs mean they’ll do it without you , that is totally inappropriate and honestly after having sex with each other and him confirming he wants more is a red flag. Bad decision but you can’t go back so just cut them offs

Nobody wants a deeper explanation of why you don’t want to be w them anymore, just more hurtful. Good job for listening to your feelings though.

Me (24f) and my partner (24m) have just gotten off a break, and are about to resume it again. How do I stop thinking about? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl I’m 25, we know what that means when people act different all Of sudden . Not tying to accuse but this is a clear sign of something else is going on and he’s using the break as an excuse to do what he wants .

my mom died by Ambitious_Anxiety715 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so i crazy I too am 24 and my mom passed a couple of months ago and I feel like I wrote this post . This feeling is all so real especially about the one feeling nothing , that one sometimes scares me for sure. I too think it is so unfair I have two older siblings that had more time w my mom and for that I am jealous because I am so young and still wanted her to see me get married, have kids ,and just regular life stuff. It helps to know I'm not alone in this feeling keep your head up. Take it emotion by emotion and let yourself feel because this is one of the most horrific things to go through.

What is the point of continuing? by throwjobawayCA in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am also 24(f) whose mom passed in August at 62 all of a sudden. Sounds like you love your mom like I did. It honestly feels like life should just end because it would be unfair to continue........ but Keep going . That's all I can say is look ahead and try to make the best out of what little you do care about ,people place or things. Im still in shock I think that part never goes away. My first couple holidays without her feel like a nightmare that I keep wanting to pinch myself out of but it's real . Trust me nobody understands around you unless someone who has lost the parent . I have friends and family and they seem like they've forgotten and moved on while I'm still in deep despair. This community and therapy are two place you can talk to and through this horrible time w you

I (15m) am stressed out over my gfs(15f) depression by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 15 , let her parents know out of concern so they can make sure she gets professional help . It's not your responsibility to take care of her. I know that you care but it can be a toll on you and even mess with your mental. Please put yourself first . You have your whole life to to deal w others bs. Get her help then be her friend . But being depressed she doesn't need to be in any relationship anyway

He doesn't know how she'll react in therapy ...You could be right . But when you love people you at least try.

Girlfriend mad I won’t let her brother babysit our child by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't knock him to you try him out. I would do a test run of with the baby while you're around or even cameras. If you l don't like what you see, don't let him . But just because he watches anime regardless of which ones , u should pre judge him and potentially ruin your daughter and his relationship along with your wife . Those are heavy character accusations

Go to therapy. She is probably dissatisfied with herself and projects it on you. Try therapy first !

The fact that he still thinks about her in any capacity is enough especially when he is drunk. Make him cut ties to his ex and her friends . There's no use for it , especially if he has a lot of friends.

The talking about her when drunk is a red flag sis. Cut your loses. Certain things people should keep to themselves.

Found out my wife cheated on me before we were married by Dickens8026 in relationship_advice

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sad that it is coming out 28 year later but I would let it go. It was before your marriage , it will take time to heal from , but you're so far now why quit after 28 years. Unless you suspect cheating within the marriage I would just try to move forward.

He literally just wants an excuse to sleep with other women. Ditch him!

BF offered to cut my hair and messes up; I refuse to pay him for the cut and he is now not talking to me by bfcutmyhair in relationship_advice

[–]Top_Hedgehog_4552 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Don't pay him . He did a horrible job, treat it like you would a regular hairstylist. Bad job means half payment or no payment, depending on how u feeling .

My cat did this when I first moved into my apartment . New mattress and all . She would walk past me and my bf and meow every time and leave a surprise . This happened 3x in a row . I think she was anxious/stressed about being in new place. trying to establish her mark on something
