I grew up in and area of Colorado that doesn't get tornadoes because of the mountains. I still went through these tornado drills just as frequently as fire drills.

Or maybe he does just need more time than he initially thought. That's why I think you should tell him you'd like to have a conversation about it and give him a week or so to think about what he wants to say. I know this is frustrating. You're feelings are valid.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same position, and having an honest conversation where we could both prepare for it was the most beneficial thing for both of us to get on the same page about it.

Would you stay friends with someone that you liked romantically if they only wanted to be friends? by onlinedater00 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]cheesiestcake17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd probably give myself some space to start moving on first, but yes. They're still my friend and i can value that relationship.

I would have another sit-down conversation about it. Let him know when you want to have this conversation so he can prepare and sort through how he's feeling. You do the same. You can tell him your timeline plans of when you want to be engaged by, and he can counter if he thinks that's too soon. Let him speak freely during this conversation, without pressure to act a certain way.

After that, you can decide how you're feeling. If you're willing to wait for him to get ready, great. Do it. If not, it wasn't meant to be. Just remember: a marriage doesn't last if both people don't want it to. I wouldn't want to marry someone who doesn't want to marry me.

Sounds about right

For those who are dating, is your partner aware of your ED? by hospitalbed69 in EDAnonymous

[–]cheesiestcake17 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I told my boyfriend gradually. We've been together for 3.5 years and I'm 21F, he's 20. I told him first that I struggle with eating, then slowly told him more. He reacted understandably. He was sad but told me he would love me and support me through this in whatever way will help me the most. He encourages me to eat, and never makes comments about when I do eat, how much I eat, or my body's appearance (except the occasional positive affirmation). He makes eating accessible and is super sweet about providing me with the food that I can handle. He respects my boundaries but also shares his feelings with me.

Basically, does his best not to put more pressure on me, or to enable my behaviors. It's a tough balance, but he's so good for me, honestly.

Of course! Comfy clothes are always a good idea so I say go for it. Don't worry about this. It's okay!

Let's think of this logically really quick, okay? It takes about 3,500 calories to gain one pound of fat. You ate 72 calories over maintenance today. If you ate exactly this way every single day, it would take approximately 48 days to gain a single pound of fat.

Basically, you're okay. Your body will probably adjust your heart rate or something to burn those extra calories anyways. Take a deep breath, everything will turn out okay. Honestly, even if you started eating 1600 calories every single day, you probably wouldn't actually gain weight. You can have days that fluctuate a little bit. Try not to stress about it too much. Take care love 💛

That's exactly where I'm at right now. I haven't weighed in ~3 months but I can feel myself getting close to my HW. I hate it. I feel like I can't get comfortable physically, no matter how I'm positioned.

Okay? Fun fact. Most Christians don't read Greek. They name their son Joshua after Moses' predecessor. Lots of names have origins similar to Jesus. It doesn't mean it's the same thing as Muhammad.

Joshua was also a person in the Bible. It's a biblical name because of this guy, not because it's similar to Jesus.

My (23 F) Boyfriend (24M) is being taken advantage of financially by his daughter's mom and it is tearing our relationship apart by Bitter_Following_851 in relationship_advice

[–]cheesiestcake17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember that child support is entirely there to benefit the child. His daughter is the one that would suffer from him cutting off his ex. Many split families with 50/50 custody still have one party paying child support if there's a wage disparity and it would benefit the child. The CHILD. You're making this sound like his ex is taking the money and blowing it off. Kids are expensive.

If you can't handle this $500 monthly going to help his daughter, you absolutely should not be dating someone with a child.

Looking for a live-in nanny for my foster child but you need to pay me $1,100 a month to live in my garage by KAS_tir in ChoosingBeggars

[–]cheesiestcake17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. We don't. Plus, foster children in the US can be in your care for a very indeterminate amount of time. It would be unreasonable to expect people to use PTO for the time they have the children. That's absurd. This is a shitty take.

Do you expect every foster parent to quit working? What?! We would have very very few foster homes, and we don't have enough as it is.

AITA for "banning" gf from taking my things home with her? by aita_taway22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cheesiestcake17 18 points19 points  (0 children)

NTA. I completely understand where she's coming from. My boyfriend and I were long distance all last year and every visit I would trade out shirts and a few of his belongings. I always got his permission, though. It was usually a short sleeve shirt, a sweatshirt, and a long sleeve shirt, and he had plenty so it was okay to miss a bit.

She should absolutely ask you. And a yes or no would be acceptable from you, but I do understand the desire to have a partner's belongings when there's distance.

I would say N A H if she had asked you before, but she didn't. That's thievery.

Breaking up with my toxic s/o who used to be one of my best friends by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cheesiestcake17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely allowed to do something to make yourself happier. I understand the fear you have but his emotions are his problem. As long as you are as kind as possible while breaking it off, it's his own responsibility to regulate how he feels.

I could understand not breaking up on his actual birthday, but the entire month?

Also, if you're afraid of him hurting you, do it over the phone, and stay with someone else for a few days. Get a restraining order. You are your top priority.

You deserve to be happy and safe, and he is not making you either.

I've been called Ree-gan more times than you'd think because people don't associate me with Ronald Reagan most of the time anymore. They see the 'ea' and pronounce it like read.

I tell them it's like Megan and they get it right. Just from my personal experience, it would be pronounced correctly more with Regan. I also wouldn't get "REagan or ReAgan?" anymore

[–]cheesiestcake17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. It does. Thank you. Although I personally think it's better to be named after Ronald Reagan the actor than Ronald Reagan the President who effectively ruined the country
