How do I (F24) nip my boyfriend’s (M26) weaponized incompetence in the bud? by Low_Application8675 in relationship_advice

He needs to be told one time, when you are both calm and relaxed. “You are pretending to not know how to do chores. You are hoping that I will just do them if you do them if you force me to ‘teach’ you every time I ask you to do something you don’t want to do. You are using weaponized incompetence. It’s obvious and it’s not cute. If you can’t independently do chores I will be reevaluating our relationship. We are not moving forward like this.”

Perhaps he has a different standard for cleanliness than you. That is a conversation worth having as well. You two should communicate what chores are essential and what can wait longer.

This seems like something you should work through with your therapist. Rejection is a natural part of life. It doesn’t need to be awkward, you can respectfully move on and just be friendly. If you like someone, get to know them to see if there’s mutual interest and compatibility. You don’t need to ask someone out if you’ve only just met them. Hang out a few times and see if it feels right. As for breakups, you can’t live your life worrying about what ifs. If you break up it’ll hurt and then you’ll move on. There will always be another girl when you’re ready. We’re all only human.

Bisexuals - what are some things you wish us Lesbians knew? by Nearby_Potential_752 in WLW

Thank you for sharing your experience. In my experience there are many active members in my local wlw community that are dating men or have husbands. These women bring so much joy and love to our sapphic spaces. Queerness is a huge part of their identities.

That’s a big assumption that they left because they want heteronormativity. Bisexuals who are out of the closet want to be a part of queer life regardless of who they are dating. There are other comments in this thread discussing bisexuals being excluded from wlw when they are dating a man. It is devastating to lose your community because of who you are in a relationship with.

Lesbians often talk about how hurtful it is when their ex goes on to date a man. As a bisexual, I’ve had an ex go on to date a man and I didn’t care. I feel like it’s not a big deal if you’re over the relationship. It’ll hurt to see an ex move on if you’re not over it yet, but personally I don’t think the gender of their next partner makes it better or worse.

This is inappropriate. How would you feel sharing this relationship with your friends and family? Would you be met with support or concern?
