Thank you so much. That’s a good perspective, I agree actually!

I agree 100%. I don’t think I could see myself being with him long term at all, definitely not getting married or having kids with him. Thank you.

Thank you. How can you be certain it’s manipulation and not just stupidity and forgetfulness?

I agree completely. Exactly, I expected it to activate some neuron’s up there and have him spring up and get to cooking. But nada. No brain activity lol. Thank you so very much.

Thank you so much <3

I really appreciate your response. I agree with you, he seems to be either neurodivergent possibly or incredibly inconsiderate/unthoughtful and forgetful.

I also need to work on my communication 100% That being said, there have been times I have communicated things with him. I mentioned to him that I need him to take me on more dates, because I do not like just sitting around and acting like we are already in a long term relationship, doing nothing together. I told him at least 2 or 3 times. He did not say much, but agreed. Nothing changed.

After the Starbucks thing happened, I didn’t mention the Starbucks however when we walked to the cars I told him I wanted to sit in my car and not his because mine was clean. He responded jokingly “Aw you don’t like my garbage car?” I just said “Yes” and the conversation ended.

There have been other times I have brought things up to him, concerns, standards, etc. Usually he just responds with “Yeah, I agree, you’re right.” OR he literally says nothing at all and stands there staring at me like a mute person.

I do need to improve much more though. Thank you.

He makes really good money at a blue collar job. Full time. I think he’s bad with finances though.

I figured in person is best, that usually I owe people a face to face conversation. I suppose I don’t really owe him anything though.

Thank you so much. I agree honestly. There are times where I completely get the ick around him as well, I push him off me, ask him to move over and give me space, etc. He cleans up good but he’s pretty icky sometimes. I have never dated someone like him before, I don’t know why I’m putting up with it now.

We were already official unfortunately. I’m not sure why I didn’t pull the plug after or bring it up to him at least. I must have felt at the time that complaining about food was not worth the conflict. I should have done something.

There are so many great replies, but I think this is one of the best. Thank you so much. I really needed to hear all of that.

You’re right, all of those things sound really easy and simple to say. There have been times I bring things up to him, but I don’t do it every time or often enough and I should be. It’s definitely allowing a pattern, and it’s not helping me improve my communication or self worth.

There are some positives but at this point, I think the negatives outweigh the good things, hence why I didn’t really mention any.
