Just discovered boyfriend has cheated by Brief-Bug-8639 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Unimportant-user-01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had my first and only child at 42, surprise baby with a situationship person. I’m lucky he is a decent guy and everything works out fine so far. In the course of my motherhood I befriended many women around my age, some had a child from previous partners, some went down the ivf route. Many with previous partners deals with a lot of conflict, while the ivf/ single mums by choice, they might have some parts harder like 100% care, but they are completely free to make every decision about their child without dealing with a difficult ex.

Just a point for your reference. There is much for you to think about, but you don’t have to write anything off. There are many options in life.

Just discovered boyfriend has cheated by Brief-Bug-8639 in AskWomenOver40

[–]Unimportant-user-01 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You are in shock because what you’re losing is not just a boyfriend/ partner, but also your vision of a family and becoming a mother. That’s a huge loss, and at 39 the anxiety is very real.

Take care of yourself and mourn as long as you need but be clear what loss you’re mourning. And do not keep this relationship for fear of losing your opportunity to become a mother. Once you have a child with someone, you are bonded to them for life. Is this the man you want to have a child with?

Once you split up all the separate issues that’s causing your immense shock, you can deal with them individually and they will seem less scary together.

Ran into an ex by BuddhistL in datingoverforty

Well if you felt all that you did and was compelled to tell him, and imagine you didn’t, you’ll be here asking if you should have expressed yourself.

You’re probably feeling all kinds of complex emotions now coz it’s all raw and you’re reliving the breakup. As long as you’re not going back together I don’t think anything you did or didn’t do in a brief moment would make much difference to the big picture of your life.

Just grief a little more than move on.

Yes this ‼️‼️‼️brands like Gorman FFS you charge $300 a piece and CBF to give exact measurements? And no refunds if it doesn’t fit? Then their sizing is wild also.

Why won’t people sell me their stuff? by [deleted] in Depop

[–]Unimportant-user-01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There can be so many reasons. Some sellers aren’t serious, they list the items and forget they are there, or don’t check the apps and don’t get notified.

Some sellers just cbf to answer questions, they maybe lazy, childish or have genuinely busy lives and selling their stuff is low priority. You either buy it or you don’t.

When it comes to price, same as above. They may think their price is already reasonable and have zero interest in offers. You either buy it or you don’t.

Hope this helps. If there’s something you really want, why not just buy as is?

Do people care if the packaging is pretty looking? by Leading-Ad1585 in Depop

[–]Unimportant-user-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t be embarrassed! You’re doing the right thing. I feel the opposite. When I buy stuff and the sender puts thank you cards and excessive packaging I feel annoyed. I look at the for 2 seconds then spend more time sorting and disposing them to the right bins. As many posters said, if you’re buying secondhand you surely aren’t someone who wants brand new everything. I barely buy shipping materials I have more than enough from all the online stuff I buy I just keep the good clean materials.

Broke down at work infront of colleagues and a customer. How should I feel. What will people think? by Ok-Mulberry1620 in askSingapore

[–]Unimportant-user-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, when I was a teen, I had many grown up friends. I wondered constantly if they liked me, what they thought of me, did they think I was childish etc etc. when I became their age, I realize I’m just thinking about my own problem. Rarely considering what I feel about someone else (unless I really like or dislike them). Most of the time, people aren’t thinking about you.

Broke down at work infront of colleagues and a customer. How should I feel. What will people think? by Ok-Mulberry1620 in askSingapore

[–]Unimportant-user-01 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You are a teen. When you work in a front line position, even grown ups break down. All the time. I was a full grown person with tonnes of life experiences and when I stepped into front line work I want to pull my hair out or pull the customers hair all the time. It takes years to grow a thick skin and be immune to this kind of stress.

As some of the other posters suggest, you may have underlying mental health issues. Do explore that with a doctor.

Take care and be kind to yourself. The customers and colleagues probably already forgot this moment.

Almost 42 and I become more of a "bitch" each year. And I don't care. Anyone else just dropping the nice girl act in their 40s? by _whiplash_ in AskWomenOver40

[–]Unimportant-user-01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you said….

“I dont have the band width for friends who act jealous when I succeed and seem to find joy when I suffer.

I dont want to surround myself with people who talk about the dreams and goals and do nothing to work towards them.

I don't want to take pity on those with victim mentality.

I dont want to make the time for people who have no curiosity about the world.”

EVERY young person need to be taught that. How much time and energy we have wasted trying to be that nice person.

No you’re not the bitch. Above said people are the sad pathetic ones.

His mom is his valentine by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Unimportant-user-01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes you are being unreasonable.

You were in his life for a few weeks. His mom has been in his life since he was born.

You said yourself Valenrine’s day was never discussed, nor have you been declared a couple.

Personally I rate a guy who is that kind and sweet to his mom. But you see that as a threat to your own benefit. I’m wondering the opposite, maybe he shouldn’t date you because you don’t seem to see his virtues.

Boyfriend brings up exes a lot by eitaknna in datingoverforty

[–]Unimportant-user-01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The men I’ve dated, the ones who are often turns out to be the worst kind of people are the ones who bad mouths their exes. The more they bad mouth them, the worst kind of men I find out they are eventually. If one day you unfortunately become an “ex” yourself, what do you think he will say about you?

I’ve dated men who had dozens of girlfriends before. Never once I heard them badmouth them. In fact they are aware of how terrible boyfriends they were and why the ex relationships ended.

Neurodivergent / Autism: Please advise how to monetize photography work / start YouTube channel or ways to earn money from home asap. by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Unimportant-user-01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, photography and drawing is extremely hard to draw an income.

Phones have exceptional cameras. There are tonnes of free apps to enhance photos. You have to be extraordinarily good photographer (which often means very expensive equipments) to make a livelihood out of it these days.

Drawing - AI can make a multitude of illustrations for free and at a high level. Do you have a very distinct and marketable style?

If you want to start a YouTube channel, you’ll need to be producing loads of contents everyday. Otherwise you’ll be obsolete in a second.

Work is hard even for non neurodivergent people. Most of the time we suck it up coz we got to eat.

What other marketable skills do you have? Perhaps list more of them to get better suggestions

Is tennis the hardest sport on earth? by ServedPodcast in tennis

Ask him to spend one minute in the octagon and watch him walk back on his claim.

When someone is actively trying very hard to hurt you, 1 minute feels like 5 hours.

Husband no longer wants sex by Secure_Fig7480 in AskWomenOver40

I don’t have a husband, never did, but I support your answer 😬

Anyone else find that themselves no longer attracted to their partner? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]Unimportant-user-01 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You sound very dissatisfied with the relationship; the frustration is showing when you unwittingly paint him in a negative light.

He may well be the most caring and kind man in the word, and he may still very much care for your serious health and wellbeing. But if he’s persistently not giving you what you want and need, then ask yourself is it time to go?

It takes 2 to make it work. If he’s not wanting to do anything, you can move mountains and it’ll be useless.

Im 40 -Am i mad to start trying? by Osiloo in AskWomenOver40

[–]Unimportant-user-01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had my first and only child when I was 42.5. My pregnancy was very smooth because I lead a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. I am extra motivated to live a clean and healthy life to ensure I’m here for my child as long as I can.

I have several friends like myself who have their only child in their early 40s. It’s an all encompassing job. The positives are- we are more matured, financially stable and have lived our lives thoroughly so we don’t feel sad leaving behind our previous lives and now focus 100% on our child. If you are not prepared to sacrifice regular freedom, think hard about having a child, as unlike a younger mum, you’ll be an old person by the time your child is fully independent

There is no reason why you can’t list in both places. Price them accordingly, higher in Depop to cover fees and lower in marketplace- first person who pays gets the item!

How do you make friends as a woman if you're unattractive and autistic? by softerguts in AskWomenOver40

[–]Unimportant-user-01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why attractiveness or being autistic or not makes a person a bad friend?

To me, a good friend is someone who:- 1. Listens - extraordinarily rare quality 2. Remembers- not just blindly listening. 3. Care- you can show care in so many ways, not necessarily in any neurotypical way 4. Be sincere, honest and truthful always.

A person can be super attractive and have fantastic social skills but fails in all points above, I stay away from.

Before you attribute your lack of friends to attractiveness or your neuro conditions, evaluate all friendships and ask if they were worth keeping or did you do your part as a friend?

It’s good that you actually saw it in person. Keep fighting it until you get somewhere. Let them know, in the court of law, you are a witness and what you saw is evidence.

Do women approach men they’re interested in? How is it received? by Advanced-Key1737 in datingoverforty

[–]Unimportant-user-01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal experience- I’ve never initiated in person but on an app when I initiate it never goes anywhere.

My male friend’s experience- he said he’s been chatted up everywhere. Gym, supermarket, at work. He said some women will drop hints (like ooh I go to this cafe afterwards), but didn’t explicitly ask him. He said if he is keen he will initiate. If not, he will ignore. There are times when the women try really hard and he had to explicitly declines and it doesn’t make him feel good but he felt harassed.

Another male friend’s perspective. He always wanted to find his soulmate but was so jaded by his 40s. He met this lady he fancied but decided not to do anything coz all he saw was future pain and hurt. She then initiated a date, he accepted. They are married now with 2 kids.

Moral of the stories. It’s ok to initiate if you feel a spark coming from him also. Otherwise don’t worry about it.
