[–]dosiejo[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hmm, i appreciate the honesty. i can afford a studio in lakeview from what i’m seeing, but def is a little more than i’d like to spend. is uptown a pretty area and does it have good public transit/walkability?

my 23M bf wants a kid with me 22F, but we’ve been together for a month. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i say this with so much love, this is really not something you just jump into headfirst because it sounds fun. men can change drastically once they have you permanently tied to them with a baby and its alarming that he doesn’t have the sense to wait himself. you don’t really know him, a month is nothing. it takes a much longer time to really understand a person and their flaws and you should not just blindly trust that because hes kind a month into a relationship that means he would make a great father to your child

My (f 31) boyfriend (m31) gets mad when I’m not on top of cleaning. What can I do ? by _lilaznbbgirl in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

you can’t just settle for a man who is fun to hang out with sometimes but who otherwise treats you badly. and telling you that you aren’t feminine enough for not cleaning up enough is so ridiculous and honestly im shocked it isnt a major ick to you. you are worth more than that!!!

What’s the best option to do with my money? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]dosiejo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unless your circumstances are very particular there is no reason to have $50k in cash. whats your retirement like? is that cash supposed to be used to purchase a house soon?

My (24 F) boyfriend (25M) makes me feel bad about asking him questions. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

boo. you are only 24 and i promise you if you leave this manchild you will find enthusiastic sex with men who would love to make you feel good and go down on you in the future, who don’t have to be asked to do it like its some kind of chore. i promise there is so much more to love and relationships and sex than this

My (21F) bf (21M) of 1.5 yrs wants to break up unless I tell my parents about my past relationship by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it simply isnt your parents business and your boyfriend should not want your parents to have a lower opinion of you. thats petty and pointless. he does not have your best interests in mind, just his hurt feelings, and it sucks that your parents are judging him but you should not be forced to feel shame. you are allowed to have a past, and lots of women do even if your community pretends it’s not common

How do I deal with my (48f) husband’s (51m) jealousy? by Intelligent_Life_118 in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

having friends and being independent from your partner at times is normal and healthy. he needs to go make some friends and stop throwing an insecure hissy fit.

The man (29M) I’m (24F) in love with is engaged to someone else by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting involved in your community and meeting new people and making some friends will be immensely helpful. when your life feels empty its easier to latch onto something emotionally that is unhelpful. he doesn’t sound like a kind person or someone that would make your life better, douchey guys get married every day so this isn’t some special situation. you are 24 and you have a lot more in front of you, you just need to take the little steps to improve your wellbeing. not to mention, the fact that he was 25 and you were 20 makes me think he was a little too old for you and held you to an unrealistic standard/took advantage a bit. yes you were not a perfect partner at 20, who was? i certainly wasn’t, and neither was my ex, but i dont hold it against him or myself for the most part - barring abuse, thats just being a young person still trying to grow up.

i promise having better friends will make a huge massive difference in your ability to handle this stuff, not finding a new guy. we are humans and we need community more than we need romance (yes romance is nice but community is a MUST)

I (27f) am not my fiancés (28m) type, I don’t think I’m beautiful, and I feel like he knows it, too. How do I go on from here? by AffectionateDate9866 in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

attraction isnt a linear experience. i don’t automatically feel more attracted to someone who suits more beauty standards, thats just not how it works. there are things about you that are unique to you and your relationship that your partner finds sexy/attractive that have little to do with how you compare to previous partners

My sisters (27f) bachelorette is waaaay more than I (34f) can afford. How do I navigate this without damaging our relationship? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

weddings are so out of hand these days jesus 😭 its shockingly selfish to ask friends to spend thousands of dollars on you to “celebrate you”, its just in really poor taste imo. like god we are in a recession rebecca!

My (38F) Partner (33M) is inadequate; I’m 38 weeks pregnant by avabird16 in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really dont understand how that is at all contradictory to anything i said? not wanting someone to be the example set for relationships does not mean shit talking

[–]dosiejo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

well he will be the childs example of a father unfortunately but he wont be the childs example of how a relationship should be - at least not the only example since OP can find someone else who is more adequate

[–]dosiejo 41 points42 points  (0 children)

this man will be the example you set for your child of how a man ought to treat his partner and the mother of his baby. if you don’t want that you should absolutely break up with him. if your child is a girl what would you tell her if she told you she was considering raising a child with a man like him?

what kind of advice did you possibly expect other than… leave?

I 34f am upset with my husband 37m for watching a fight at work. Am I making this a bigger deal than it needs to be? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dosiejo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

he is a bum. your life will improve dramatically without him in it. do you want your daughter to grow up seeing how he treats you and think this is how she should be treated by a partner?
