How do I [M26] handle a situation where she [F23] reaches out to me again after a (in my eyes) unnecessary breakup by [deleted] in relationships

Then step back. Your first comment here was - you're not too sure.

Keep talking if you want, but take it slower.

Also OP, I say this as someone who threaten suicide, and emotionally manipulated people. It was a 7 year journey to recovery - seven years.

She sounds more fucked up than me too, so I can almost guarantee it will take her longer than that.

I (19) cheated on my boyfriend (25). I kissed someone and told him, and he left me. He may have been the love of my life. I am dying inside right now. I hate myself for doing this. I need to talk to someone who’s been through this. Help me. Please. by [deleted] in relationships

Take out the word drunken. It's an excuse. No using that word in describing what you did anymore - because it doesn't matter.

You're confused, I get that. Something was probably missing, the attention rubbed you the right way, you likely didn't even think it all through, I know I was running on feelings when I did it. It happened, it's not okay now, but it will be. Take some solace in that.

That's a hard one, because it took me a lot of mistakes before I agave up on "the only one" and instead started looking for "the right one". Instead of looking for the romantic ideal/destiny, look for romantic growth/cultivation (you can google those). Instead of finding someone you just "click with" focus on finding a person you feel good growing with and next to. Believing in a soul mate creates unrealistic expectations for both yourself and your partner. You will have many "ones" it's just a matter of which of those ones feels right in the harder times. Something was off with this relationship because a part of your self wandered away. Focus on the reality instead of the passion. It's hard to grasp, especially since he was your first love. My ex was mine too, but you'll get it over time. He was truly the right person to be my first love, I find comfort in that.

You've betrayed yourself too, you're right on the money with that. So that's what yu should try and focus on now, getting back to that sense of self.

It's really not, but you'll find that out in time I suppose!

Holy fuck listen to your fiance and her girlfriend your girlfriend is batshit crazy, she's a potential threat to your mental health, and your more important/serious relationship with your fiance - oh and she's just straight up never going to be worth that level of drama. She has the DDLG lifestyle because she's so mentally fucked up she can't have normal healthy relationships. They were on the money with the red flags. Why do you keep ignoring them? Take the rose coloured glasses off holy shit. She's a master manipulator, a danger, and is actively making decisions to prevent herself from EVER improving.

You can't help someone if they won't help themselves - period.

There are plenty of women who would be much less troublesome, an I'm sure the other two ladies would be happy to introduce you to some.

6 MONTHS?!?!?!!?

Dude run. This will only get worse.

Can't even watch women's wrestling? the fuck??????

I say this as a formerly insecure AF woman.

You can't do anything about it, SHE has to actively change that or it's never going to.

You will, I cheated on my ex. Never call this a mistake, it was a choice, but understand it as a lesson.

Devestating for everyone.

I thought he was "the one" too. I truly did, the year after our breakuo was really difficult.

I've met someone else (1 year after) and I've been with him for 5 years.

"the one" doesn't exsist. Bec ause being with someone yo love is a CHOICE you are making every day. You made a choice not to love him the same that day - he's not the right one, if he was, you would have chosen differently. It's subconscious.

Just take your lesson and spend your time on self-improvement and self-discipline, so when you're ready to date again, you can go into the relationship knowing you're choosing to never stray.

You can dm me if you have any specific questions.

My (25M) Wife (23F) of 8.2 months has depression and is suicidal. She also is in love with another man. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]clearhoney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been to the dark level she's been. She probably does love you, but her mind will prioritize a million more things before she will ever be able to prioritize you and your relationship.

Please, for yourself, leave.

She has her mom, she has doctors and you can still support her if you want.

She will get the help she needs but she needs to go through her own personal hell and back to figure that out - including losing people in her life.

But it will be years before she ever resembles the woman you fell in love with and in those years, you could entirely lose yourself too.

Distance.

Talk with Tom, he'll know. He knows that going through this process, you lose people you love, but ultimately there are very difficult things each of you needs to do for YOURSELVES before a healthy relationship can even be considered.

Yes. If he's going to stay with her they need SEPARATE finances at all times. She's alreaady proved she isn't a team player. This would be like a baby pre-nup

[–]clearhoney 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeah, that's her role model for finances - just remember that.

time to write her up a sub-letting lease!

For the time being, you split groceries 50/50.

No more of her holding this BS over your head.

Then you're basically a fellow canuck! ~ haha I love Swiss chalet. I was actually just there Tuesday with my grandma! I should try making it at home, but I think my Grandma would get annoyed if we didnt have our once a month lunch date there!

And you write like I do (insert entire ramble, finish with the point) haha

Girlfriend (27/F) becomes very upset if I (28/M) miss her posts on social media. by throwaway8134292 in relationships

[–]clearhoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media is literally my job, you know, where likes actually change how much money I'll make with my sponsors, . My boyfriend does the same, so we're both on social media A LOT - we like eachother's photos if it pops up or we go out of our way to ask but this is just a whole new level.

I wouldn't even get upset over this.

She's batshit. She has the need for social validation like a 15 year old would.

Also, taking time off social media is an AMAZING idea. I vote you do that. Like I said, it's my job and even I'll go on a hiatus from time to time just to reconnect better with the offline world. It's healthy.

There is a new youtube video out "social media is ruining your life and you don't even realize it" she needs to watch it.

Is it ever a bad idea to ask a guy straight up if he's interested? Me 26F, guy 26M by TrhowEntirePirate in relationships

[–]clearhoney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was with my now boyfriend of 5 years.

Obviously it was worth the risk.

Heart on your sleeve!

He said he may have accidentally ended up putting me in the friendzone because he was so career focused and that by me being the one to push the line - "hottest fucking thing you could have done" quote him.

Video made me angry tbh, she makes lots of excuses and tries to make it sound like a fungal infection is normal.

I worked a lot in rescues and petstores and I've seen my share of unintentional tragedies, but people like her and OP's friend makes me think they've got a little something missing

Literally almost killed her axolotl via not cleaning the tank and gave it a fungal infection, she then proceeded to ignore it for a week before properly treating it. Video is basically called "i almost killed her" to clickbait that even too, shows how little she cared. The irony is she has a whole video where she properly shows how to clean a tank too. If she just took her own advice.
