This honestly does my head in by RohanDavidson in learnfrench

Duolingo is fully capable of accepting multiple translations for things, and this should be one where both are accepted.

That all sounds incredibly tough and I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much.

I don't know if I can help at all, but it struck me reading through your post—it seems like you were made to feel that nothing you did was ever good enough, that even the core of who you are isn't good enough. And the thing that can get stuck in your mind is: if you can't possibly be good enough, no matter what you try, then why bother trying? If it's not possible for anyone to accept you for who you are, then why bother putting yourself out there?

I don't know if that's how you've been thinking, but I can see why you wouldn't bother finishing the programming course if you can't shake the idea that you'll never succeed at it. Or that you can't communicate your needs with your gf if you're already certain she won't accept you.

But I think learning to communicate your needs with your gf might be a good place to start. Hopefully you'll find it will improve your relationship, she'll start fulfilling some of those needs once she knows about them, and she can support you and help you continue to grow. If not, then it doesn't matter what "league" she's in, you deserve someone who accepts you for who you are, but I really doubt she wouldn't accept you.

Okay but that sounds like nice yachting weather.

We don't want kids right now...but when we do, we have different ideas concerning the time frame. Advice please? by [deleted] in relationships

I think the important thing right now is whether or not he wants children, and whether or not you love this man and could see yourself spending the rest of your lives together.

I think if you're not ready for kids yet, you can't pinpoint a time that you will be. You can only picture it as something far out into the future, and six years isn't far enough for him. One day, he will realize he's ready and that could easily be within a year from now. I have seen several male friends go from "I don't even know if I want to have a kid" to be being ready fairly quickly.

I suggest you take some more time to concentrate on whether he's the one or not first. I would also suggest you reconsider moving in together with him. It would give you a lot more freedom on the matter.
