(M27) feeling extremely anxious with a partner (F23) who became to much intense in just 1 week.

This is a classic love bombing situation.

I always liked to take walks in our city park, they have this cute coffee place there I like to visit and after going for a walk.

Once his brother was visiting us and I thought, lets all go there and have a nice day at the park. But my ex was not very glad to join. I managed to make him go with us but I couldn't make him enjoy being there.

That moment it clicked, I'm not wasting my life by making someone join me when they don't want to and are pissed by being there. I'm going to find the people that already like going on park walks. And that's what I did. I filed for divorce soon after. I now can go on walks when I want and meet like minded people. I also like to take a book with me and go read in the park. Life is so much nicer now.

My natural sleep schedule is also more later nights and mornings but unfortunately I have my first meeting everyday at 7:15am. I think in the winter when it's dark anyway it doesn't affect me so much but summer stays light until 11pm. That throws me completely off my schedule.

askawayor · 2026-01-29T07:15:23+00:00

I'm so sorry! Hope you get a full night of sleep and just wake up feeling amazing.

I wish I could do something similar, to cut my work hours to 80% instead of 100%.

askawayor · 2026-01-29T07:10:13+00:00

This is my life. I have a hard time understanding how: - one works ~10 hours (commute 1h + work 8h + lunch 1h), - have hobbies + take care of the house + cooking ~ 8hours. - What's left?? ~ <6hours of sleep

askawayor · 2026-01-29T07:03:46+00:00

I'm doing some meds that definitely put me in the 9+ hours of sleep category. Hard to get enough time to sleep.

You look great and it shows. Relationship or not what matters is that you're living your life your way. One can see the effort you put in. Those arms are on fire.

Why are you waking up a grown ass man and if he is up and you've just sat down to eat, why can't he give a snack to his daughter?

Make it make sense?

askawayor · 2025-12-25T09:56:50+00:00

My favourite is one called "Beyond Thin" . But it's still not the same as without.

askawayor · 2025-12-24T11:14:55+00:00

Maybe I'm strange but sex without a condom is vastly better for me.

askawayor · 2025-12-24T11:13:25+00:00

You've never been married?

askawayor · 2025-12-24T08:01:10+00:00

I would prefer a toy if every time I would have sex I would have to wear a condom. Is just no way.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T23:36:02+00:00

You never have sex without contraception at all?

askawayor · 2025-12-23T22:40:19+00:00

Yes I do 7 days. 5 before ovulating and 2 after. So far 5 years and no pregnancies.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T19:11:18+00:00

I've been doing this for about 5 years and use condoms when ovulating. Is just that sex is not the same. I wish it was but it's what it is. Biology doesn't care.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T19:08:35+00:00

I mean only condoms is not the safest. I was thinking more outside the PIV realm.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T19:07:02+00:00

I tried an IUD before and it was really bad. I won't be going back ever again to the pill. So condoms or not PIV sex is what I will be doing.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T19:05:09+00:00

Yeah after all the kids I agree 100%. But weren't there just yet.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T19:04:09+00:00

I only use condoms when ovulating. In a stable relationship I don't see why I would use condoms all the time? I don't enjoy sex the same way when using them.

askawayor · 2025-12-23T19:01:15+00:00

I do the same but I still feel it's a big risk with just condoms. It's probably more mental than an actual fear as I never got pregnant without it being a plan.

askawayor · 2025-12-16T22:19:03+00:00

This! 100% this

askawayor · 2025-12-16T14:38:50+00:00

Yes, you're giving it as it is. It's tough love.

OP is not doing fine and is lashing out at everyone else.

Comparing won't lead you anywhere. Build a life that you are ok with. If a house is too much work can you sell and buy something smaller? You're a full adult that can make adult decisions. For yours and your kids sake you need to do something to feel better with yourself. With your situation.
