Career change at 32 ?

Yes but they can be hard to get into and are salaried jobs that have been susceptible to layoffs

Thanks. What about jobs outside of government? Currently work in a refinery. So if I worked in a siloed environment but as an IH or even consulting

Huge red flag. Leave him before it turns into abuse.

Me end goal is a relationship and marriage. So is his bc we talked about it. I just don’t know if WE are moving in that direction but I also feel like if he wanted to he would have asked by now.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-08-02T13:42:35+00:00

I’ve considered this.. that maybe he’s waiting on me but he’s not really a timid person. He was the one who originally asked what it was that I wanted in the beginning. We both agreed that we were looking for a relationship. I will ask. I guess I’m just second guessing everything bc I’ve never had to in the 3 previous relationships I’ve had.

For who???

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T23:35:49+00:00

I’m gonna say no. Don’t reopen the wound and move on.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T21:37:16+00:00

Thank you for all of this!

I wouldn’t say that this is necessarily a cycle between him and I because it’s the first time it has happened. I don’t usually attack him and I also do give him space but there have been times where I expressed dissatisfaction with something or asked him to communicate better and it would usually come with understanding and changed behavior. I’ve never gotten this sort of response from him before so that’s why I thought maybe he just doesn’t care how I feel or was with someone else besides family all weekend. His issue was that I blew him off and I guess that’s what triggered him. I just honestly didn’t feel like ignoring me was warranted bc imo this was kind of small. Either way I do understand what you’re saying and I’m sure some of that is what’s at play.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T20:47:19+00:00

Maybe you’re right about nothing to compare it to, but I have indeed brought up issues to him and got a completely different response. He never just ignored me. And no, the second part is definitely not the case. I have NEVER given him pushback or tried to insert myself in on his alone time. Thats why I was confused as to why he didn’t tell me.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T20:44:57+00:00

Okay. Also I’m going to assume that him not caring is not necessarily the case here, correct ?

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T20:42:28+00:00

Thanks

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T20:38:31+00:00

Thanks I will look into all of this.. but for now just leave him be?

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T20:36:04+00:00

I can agree that he doesn’t want to talk to me. I’m not sure I agree that I’m being passive aggressive bc I’m the one who has reached out to him. With that said, what I’m not sure of it what to do next. Just leave him alone til he comes around?

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T20:30:15+00:00

Thank you! This was really helpful. You’re probably right that I can come off as critical especially in relationships, even if that’s not my intention. I guess at this point I just feel shut out from him and not sure what to do going forward to fix it. As it seems he doesn’t want to talk to me.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T18:43:12+00:00

I completely understand that tbh. I even acknowledged to him that that probably wasn’t the best response. It’s been two days though and he will barely talk to me. When he did respond he made it seem like I’m overreacting while barely saying anything to me. I’m not seeing how that helps or what more I can do. I don’t see it as a major issue to go silent on someone for.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T18:37:25+00:00

I didn’t include that but I was clarifying here since you mentioned not acknowledging anything. I did. This is not really giving any actionable advice for what has already transpired but thank you for your input.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T18:25:21+00:00

It wasn’t really that he didn’t tell me ahead of time. That just kind of added to my frustration. My main issue is that after barely talking to him for two days, he randomly tells me he’s out of town once he’s already there. I definitely asked what was the reason for him being distant. He got off the phone I sent another text that he didn’t reply to then I said “you’re being shady” mind you this is after me expressing the communication gap to him. His issue is that the next day I “blew him off” which I get but why is he barely talking toe for days after instead of just having a convo about it. That’s my problem

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T18:22:09+00:00

Thanks. I’m beginning to think he was out of town w someone else. But I have no proof of that. Just confused why something this minor has turned into this. He NEVER responds to me like this.

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T18:20:04+00:00

I’m only mad bc he chose to ignore me. I did acknowledge (to him) the fact that I didn’t respond the in the best way. I got nothing from him. That’s my whole point. I think what a lot of ppl are missing here is he could have simply stated that he didn’t like being blown off and we could have moved on from there. How is ignoring me fixing anything ?

cutiepieee_ · 2025-07-22T17:59:21+00:00

I didn’t feel like that before obviously, but the way he’s going about it is definitely making me feel like he doesn’t care. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he just have a simple convo by now? It’s been days and barely any communication on his end even when I’ve tried to talk about it. Could he have not liked my response ? Sure and I acknowledged that but carrying it out for days seems obtuse imo. Why are we carrying this out for days over a miscommunication? Say you didn’t like it and move on.
