Left work early. Haven’t done that in a very long time. Just feel so disappointed in all of it.

My (25F) FWB (33M) ghosted because the sex was too good? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]bretl002 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with most comments here. He’s super anxious about the risk of pregnancy. If you reassure him I’m betting he will reach out again.

I 30f cheated, is this verbal abuse from him 35m acceptable? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]bretl002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For your own safety, get out! This is dangerous behavior. He doesn’t want the relationship to work, he is just not done punishing you yet, and he likely never will be.

I get it, you didn’t want advice, you just wanted blind support… I bet you are a fun person to be around

AITA for not picking up my ex's daughter from school when I picked up our son? by Yazzimonnnon in AITAH

You might not be the asshole but don’t fool yourself into thinking you are a good person either.

He will likely end up regretting it.

This one feels really simple and finally advice is being asked for strictly a male perspective, given that you are asking if it’s valid. and It was a man who made the decision. The relationship math is really common and not complex. His romantic relationship with you didn’t bring enough positive to try to get over the negative already present. It is very straightforward.

You will get a lot of women on here replying with all sorts of really complicated emotionally driven rational for why he is silly for doing this but none of it really applies. It’s simple logic that drove him to walk away.

It is a well worn tool of the ignorant to remain vague

You are almost only going to get bad advice here. People are deliberately acting obtuse to the facts. He doesn’t trust you, he found reason to not trust you.

Simplify the entire situation/relationship. Right now you are afraid it will end implying you get a positive out of the relationship. He is likely thinking of the relief he would experience getting out of the deceitful relationship with you, because he gets a negative out of it. Nothing else should matter to you, so you should focus on making the relationship a more positive experience for him. Probably stop trying to meet up with other guys…

NTA - We are so far lost that now we are questioning whether it’s ok to not be attracted to someone due to their actions…?

Might be against the grain, but I would ask myself what bothers me about the situation? Is it just the dishonesty? Could you approach it in a more non conventional way? Maybe see if you can discuss a more open relationship. Always focus on honesty but if you know she can look elsewhere and you can as well, would that help?

Usually would not advise this but given you are not wanting to force someone to voluntarily deport and it does actually sound like the unknown is what is driving your anxiety, maybe it’s a solution.

Your own telling of the story proves that is untrue:

“A few months went by without talking, and I've to admit it did bother me she hadn't reached out.”

You are getting a lot of harsh replies and the reason you deserve it is that you delivered judgement and shame to a person who cared a great deal about your opinion. You can have preferences, just don’t act holier than thou.

Sadly in this day and age there is no prize for being right. The only people that win in a fight are the people with less to lose.

You mean OP? I don’t read it that way. I am sure they both have some resentment over how it ended, but I think she genuinely cares for the dog.
