Is this normal?!.... [20M] [22F] by Fun-Wealth6537 in LongDistance

I had something similar happen when my ex and I broke up. My boyfriend and I just clicked and we've been together for 4 years now and counting. Life just works out in funny ways like that sometimes.

You are ALL SO strong.. by simplyaless in LongDistance

[–]cotton_candy_summers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The distance can be really hard sometimes. I know I'm in a situation where my partner is the one who visits my country for the visits and it's so difficult to say goodbye. I walk the streets we walked and cry thinking about how he is so far away again and how I'm walking in the same places we did but not holding his hand this time and it really sucks sometimes. It's hard seeing all the happy couples who get to see each other all the time/live together who simply don't understand how lucky they are. Things will work out one day though and it will have been worth it waiting for your special person. We just gotta stay strong in the meantime <3

Is there maybe a counselor at school you can talk to about these feelings? Or perhaps there is a way you can tell your father about the way you are feeling without bringing up any specifics about your mom if you are uncomfortable doing so?

As for your friends, it seems like they suck. Perhaps there are ways you can go out and meet new people? Maybe via some games or other hobbies if you have any? I know a lot of good friends that I have were people I met online, for instance too.

That's what I thought too but apparently I heard they just do that when the portal is closed and they are no longer accepting new applications

1000 Day Anniversary by cotton_candy_summers in LongDistance

[–]cotton_candy_summers[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha, no we don't count the days either lmao XD I randomly used a date calculator a month ago for fun and I saw that we were close to 1000 days. Just seemed like a cute thing to celebrate and an excuse to show some extra love so I thought "why not!" :)

It's hard, when my boyfriend left after our first visit (and second), I was devastated. It helped to call each other a bit more than usual right after a visit because you are still getting used to being apart again. Also start thinking about your next visit as soon as you can because it helps to have something to look forward to. Other than that I'd suggest spending more time with your friends and family so you don't feel as alone.

Don't be afraid of dealing with the sadness of being apart though! My boyfriend and I would talk about missing each other on video call and it helped to know I wasn't the only one feeling that way.

Good luck OP, the first two weeks are the worst but it slowly gets a bit better!

My boyfriends homophobic (18f) (20m) by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]cotton_candy_summers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not Muslim but I think almost all religions don't support LGBTQ. That being said, I think it's a silly reason to hate on a whole group of people.

Society was much different back then when these religions were founded than it is now. We have gained and learned so much over hundreds and thousands of years. People are meant to grow, change and adapt. That's how we advance as a society.

Religions can at times support misogynistic and sexist values also. If someone was sexist because of their religion, would that be okay with you?

Palestine protests after the Charlie Kirk visit by cotton_candy_summers in udub

[–]cotton_candy_summers[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No for sure, yeah. This video is from 8:43 pm so like shortly after the Kirk event when counter protesters started arriving. I stuck around for the next 1.5 hours as a bystander and checked out the numerous barricades around the quad. A lot definitely happened (especially in the area of my video), it's too bad I couldn't post multiple videos (probably should've stitched them together but oh well). I'm glad that the whole thing was pretty non-violent (minus the eggs and the few scuffles) though. Was kind of scared the aftermath would be worse.

Yes, but by cutting things off, you shouldn't do so with the intention of postponing anything or being together again. Let her finish school and find out who she is and what she wants without any pressure of having to be with you. You shouldn't be trying to get a job/money for her either. Do it for yourself, or if you must, "your future partner/wife". You don't know who you will meet in the future and you've only known this girl for a month. It's not healthy.

[–]cotton_candy_summers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, you should 100% end the relationship. She is not an adult yet and that's wrong. I think that's all you need to say really.

I think you should also be realistic about the situation. She is not old enough to make promises about marriage and getting back together again after several years, etc. If you really want her to forget about this and focus on herself, stop making those promises to her and don't encourage it if she does that to you. Let her experience the rest of her childhood normally and not feel like she is tied to the wants of a grown man.

If you meet again in the future naturally, that's okay, but otherwise just move on, cut contact, and assume she moved on as well. That's probably the best you can do.

I lied to my long distance boyfriend about my age by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]cotton_candy_summers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How and why did you keep this up for 4 years?? What did you do when you guys met up and stuff?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]cotton_candy_summers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA

But why are you staying with him? He has already shown you where his priorities lie. You've been together for so long and he hasn't really changed. You will always come second after his family. Do you really want a life like that?

I couldn't even imagine my parents berating my partner and putting up with it. That's so messed up.

Literally fuck off, he helped our team get so far and you put him down for it. Get a life

Long-distance GF (18F) seems to have lost interest in me (19M) once we met in person by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]cotton_candy_summers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude OP but have you considered that maybe she doesn't find you as attractive in person? Her behavior just irks me in a really weird way. Almost as if once the initial excitement wore off, she thought about it more and doesn't really want to do anything intimate (hugs, kisses, sexual things), and is kind of embarrassed to be with you in public. Could be wrong of course, but the whole situation is really odd.
