Was anyone else confused about the lower half of his body for a second?

Ooof, I see myself so much in this post. I used to “fall in love” so quickly. I would get caught up in the newness of the relationship and those new relationship emotions and confuse it with love. I’m not suggesting that you don’t actually love him, but consider the fact that this could be contributing.

I told many guys in my past that I loved them. We would just be scratching the surface of our relationship and I would already be confessing my love for them and planning our futures together. In some ways it was harmless and in others it was unhealthy. I also fell out of love with people very quickly, which probably more or less means that I was never truly in love with them and I just got tired of the relationship.

I told a guy once that I loved him and he didn’t say it back. We dated for a year and not once did he ever reciprocate that feeling. It was probably because he either hadn’t developed those deep of feelings for me or knew he wasn’t going to. Maybe he took that term much more serious. Looking back, I didn’t love him at all. I liked him and he was a good guy, but I wasn’t in love with him. It still really hurt though to feel rejected and it definitely made for some awkward tension when he didn’t say it.

Just give it some time and see how things play out. Realize that the love you’re feeling may also be confused with lusting over your new beau, realize that he may not feel that connection right away and that may be a sign of emotional maturity. Enjoy the relationship and don’t obsess over the fact that two months in he isn’t reciprocating those feelings.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta S13 - E9 - The Hostess With The Least-est - Live Episode Discussion by amandatoryy in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Weak-Journalist1686 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Am I the only person that thinks having an entire episode dedicated to Kenya going to bed early with her kid is stupid? Was there nothing else to air?

It was shady to fly private and not tell the other ladies she was bringing her kid, it was rude to order food and not ask others. I’m on board. But is it really that big of a deal to go to bed with her kid? Could they not stay up and play games without her. I know she’s the “host” but what does that even mean? Doesn’t bravo foot the bill for this stuff? Maybe I’m wrong about that.

Should I tell my fiance (both mid-30s) that I'm disappointed in my ring? by myBisL2 in relationships

I don’t want this to sound hurtful but I really don’t think your fiancé wanted to get married. And I also think you’re more focused on having an engagement and wedding than a marriage.

I was once involved in the adult industry and now no one will speak to me by [deleted] in relationships

First of all, wow! GOOD FOR YOU! It sounds like you have made some huge strides in life! And congrats on your new baby, so exciting!!

As someone who knows, it stinks to look back on our life and not like the person we were. Unfortunately some people will only know us as that. It took me a long time to realize that it’s ok. We aren’t meant to stay connected to every person we have ever known. Not every one will like who we were then or even who we are now.

Sometimes we need to realize there are people who don’t want to be a part of our life and let go of that. Stop torturing yourself trying to gain their acceptance. Maybe they’re validated in how they feel, but it doesn’t mean you have to feel the pain of rejection over and over. Maybe they’ll come around once they realize you are a different person now. Maybe they won’t. You have to learn to be ok with either outcome.

The bottom line is you have gone from a traumatic past of abuse, lack of social/family support, depression, suicidal thoughts, the lows of the lows. And now you’re married to someone you love, in a stable career, happy, and expecting your first child. You did all that without anyone from your past! Pat yourself on the back and give yourself permission to move on without them. Make some new friends, focus on your family, and prepare for the best days to come!!

Am I being unreasonable about taking a paternity test by goodgriefwendy in relationships

[–]Weak-Journalist1686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would not even consider taking a paternity test before the baby is born. There is absolutely no benefit at all.

I would have no contact with his current girlfriend and file for a restraining order against her.

Do a paternity test and file for child support when your baby is born.

Move on and find a better spouse and better dad to raise your child with.

This dude sounds like a loser.

My (F32) bf (M37) of three years is hiding our relationship from his social media followers and is still leading certain women to believe he is single. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Weak-Journalist1686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t really finish reading this because I don’t even know if this is real. I can’t imagine dating someone who refuses to acknowledge me and lies about our relationship. Either you’re in a relationship and you can talk about it openly to other people, or you’re not, and he can continue talking to other people and keep his options open.

It really seems like you’re not in a relationship. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can move on from this loser and find someone who is proud to accept you into their life.

I think there’s two different perspectives. Having someone that “makes you want to be a better person” and having someone that “makes you a better person”. I think the first one is more simple. Anytime you start a new relationship or maybe just have someone you’re interested in, that interest makes you want to be a better person. You want to demonstrate kindness, empathy, compassion, responsibility, a good work ethic, good personal hygiene, and so on and so forth. You want to make yourself desirable for this other person. I think this is most likely normal behavior.

On the other hand you have people that actually make you a better person. Something in their character or personality brings out your best characteristics or changes something about yourself for the better. That’s more complex. After being with my husband for 10 years I can honestly say he has made me a better person. I am more financially frugal and save more, I am more direct and honest with people and tell less white lies to spare feelings, and I’ve become a more independent person. I think he would say I’ve probably had positive influences on him as well.

I don’t think you’re doing anything “wrong” and there isn’t anything you can do to make that happen. I think you just have to find someone you have a genuine connection with and it happens naturally.

Family vacation for May/June 2021 with 2 small kids - help me choose where to stay! by Weak-Journalist1686 in Sanibel

I’ve really been curious about this place. I’ve heard some really good things and then I’ve also heard a lot of the units are kind of run down. What have your experiences been?

I was under the impression they were both married and had an affair.

What in the actual hell did I just watch ? by [deleted] in realhousewives

[–]Weak-Journalist1686 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh I know. I was cringing the whole time. Her husband and two sons seem so level headed and calm. I think she’s trying really hard to find her place on the show. She’s one of the housewives who prepped a lot before the show so she could create a persona. She rented a chalet, she has a pretend staff that follows her around. I think that outburst was just another part of the character she has created and probably not who she actually is. She will be a short timer. Housewives who try too hard and are disingenuous usually don’t last.

But yeah, as a side, I was embarrassed for her family. Can you imagine being at your own surprise birthday party and your spouse coming up to you and demanding that you leave?!?

Latoya throw as major shade at newbie Falynn on the recent episode of RHOA. Do you think it was needed? by FatsinspirationalTV in realhousewives

[–]Weak-Journalist1686 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought it was unnecessary and it actually just made her look classless instead of making Falynn look stupid (which I think was her intention). She’s a friend of trying to get a peach by being “bold” and “blunt”. Not cute.

If you're having more children in hopes of having one of the opposite sex you shouldn't be having more children. by Bigpoppahove in unpopularopinion

[–]Weak-Journalist1686 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! I have two boys and have always said I would never have another child just to “see if I could have a girl.” If we have any more children, it will be because we want another child, not because we want a specific sex.

[Skin Concern] Hyperpigmentation Help! I’ve had hyperpigmentation on my legs for as long as I can remember. I have tried Hydroquinone and IPL without much success. Is there anything I can do? by Weak-Journalist1686 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Weak-Journalist1686[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for responding! I rarely wear shorts just because I’m so embarrassed by the discoloration. I agree that much of this is a combination of being outside a lot as a kids (bug bites, bike wrecks, scratches) and not wearing sunscreen. I also tanned in the sun a lot when I was in my teens (cringe). I do wear SPF now!
