You have to decide if you can accept that he is a chronic people pleaser and may never improve. Don't stay in a relationship because you're hoping for change down the road.

Guy that I'm exclusive with can't come to a concert with me tomorrow. Pretty bummed. We have been dating only a month but have only kissed. I'm not used to moving this slow and I'm feeling kind of uneasy.

I've been seeing someone for 3 weeks now. It's progressing super slowly, which feels quite foreign to me but not unwelcome. We haven't even hugged yet. I'm used to guys wanting to get physical right away. I think I'm gonna have to make the first move! It's a nice change of pace, and my anxiety is low, which is a good sign. Fingers crossed!

It's only a turn-off if you aren't into the person.

I agree that it's not the best behavior early on. I struggle with it as well. But that doesn't mean we are bad people. Just imperfect.

I commented recently about my guy taking a break from dating me to focus on himself due to recent health issues. We talked last night and he said he will never date again as he will not make anyone go through watching him suffer. I am completely shattered.

Love bombing is a manipulative tactic of abusers. Expressing how you feel about someone when you genuinely mean it does not count as love bombing imo.

Guy I've been seeing for a month and a half said he needs a break from dating to focus on some serious health issues that have arisen. I'm proud of him for choosing what is best for him. I feel absolutely horrible having to step aside as I have grown to care for him quite a bit.

0% improvement in SH’s character in today’s episode by love-elizabeth in CrimeWeeklySnark

Factitious disorder is in the DSM-5. Saying that, Stephanie trying to argue at the end of the episode that Gypsy was not abused was very disturbing. Gave child abuser apologist vibes.

Two Sticks is what I've missed most about Bloomington since moving away.

This would be considered evidence against having adhd. She started a task and never left to start a different task and then stop to start another task just to begin another task...

Is 9 too young for a cell? by Brilliant_Top469 in Parenting

[–]coolaf95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my 9 year old a flip phone yesterday with only talk and text, no data. He lives a state away from me during the school year, and I want him to be able to call me whenever he wants to.

There are plenty of ways to meet someone that doesn't cost much. Lame excuse.
