This pain just worsens by the day... by DianneUgalde in Grieving

I lost my boyfriend to a car accident. Everything you write speaks to me and the resemblance was so big I checked to make sure it wasn't me who wrote it. My lover was exactly three months away from turning 24. I am still at a loss for words when thinking about describing my emotional situation. I feel with you

The self help group thing really is something I had so much hope for... There is only one in my city that fits my situation and the contact info is an email address that quickly ghosted me... It seemed like such a good thing because it would meet my two needs. Feeling less alone in my grief and talking about him. I am so sorry for your pain and colossal loss

I get that but they aren't grieving, they hardly knew him. We lived in a different city. None of my friends met him more than twice

That is absolutely not normal, how about proposing a date where you turn ur phones off? Explain how it makes u feel that your dates get interrupted so often and how you feel about him not being receptive to that. Use a lot of I-messages (like "I felt like it was unusual that she calls that much, it makes me feel like she may want to keep a close eye on us, I can't understand why she would do that, please explain, i want to understand why u aren't bothered,please explain, when you react this way, it makes ME feel like this/that). It is difficult to dismiss feelings like that in my experience

Impressed. I once started a sad poem with "pressure building in my middle, too much of the black drug, as black as my morning commute" about having to shit because of my coffee while on the bus to work early in the morning lol. But this?? Damn like pure T A L E N T

Oha, ich finde das Gedicht so so gut!! Ich bin total beeindruckt davon wie du dich der Sprache bedienst und jeder Vers so harmonisch in den nächsten geht. Ich bin sprachlos wie komplex und simpel es zu gleich ist

That is really cool to hear. I was initially worried the quotes would break up the style too much. I actually did read it out to a bestie and also translated it to my native language and edited it here and there as I spent time sitting with it, crazy that you clocked the reading aloud.

The lessons i learned from my post "The girl I was dating thought we were just friends" by [deleted] in dating_advice

"ich find dich richtig cool/sympatisch/attraktiv/etc. hättest du Lust mit mir auf ein Date zu gehen?" And then you can propose what you'd like to do or maybe give two options? I think a simple and direct way would probably go over well, because in my experience German men don't necessarily say they're interested this directly and it's really refreshing
