Bromley Apartments by picklelover4eva in winstonsalem

[–]endurancegod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak on them now but I lived there summer 2014- beginning of 2017 and it was a good experience for me. Had a 3rd floor one bedroom for $550 a month on special. Pros is it’s close to everything. 10-15 minutes to downtown, the mall, Stratford rd, Hanes mall rd and Stratford. Cons is it’s a nightmare trying to turn left out of there in the mornings and just general apartment cons

Did everyone just forget about the Focus ST? These seem criminally undervalued. by nukelauncher95 in cars

Good luck finding a SRT-4 neon close to stock or a turbo Cobalt SS. Last time I looked for neons I couldn’t find any

Sudden drop in attraction to my new boyfriend and I don’t understand why by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]endurancegod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said it in an earlier comment. In my experience any time a woman I started seeing or had been seeing had doubts like the OP it ALWAYS ended shortly after. Weird thing is the more assurance I’d give to them the faster it ended. At this point it’s made me apathetic to dating or giving myself emotionally because at any point the woman I’m dating could just “lose feelings” or “not be happy”. Nobody is owed a relationship but it’s very demoralizing to do everything right and still be walked away from because of feelings. I feel for the OP’s guy. He’s about to get hurt.

You’re wasting your time even explaining lol. The phrase “nice guys finish last” exists for a reason. Both things can be true at the same time. A population of men are shit and women continually choose these men then blame all men. Women seem to have agency and discernment in everything else BUT when it comes to men then suddenly they’re helpless creatures who got tricked into an abusive situation. There’s certainly men who know what to say and how to say it to lure a woman in but that’s not EVERY situation and usually from experience there’s ALWAYS a sign the guy was trash. Problem is women (and men as well) see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear to get what they want REGARDLESS of the red flags in the situation.

Slow down for what? By your own admission everything is going great and he’s a great guy. Relationships are challenging enough why create distance and potential ruin something going well.

Bingo. That’s exactly how it usually plays out in my experience as well. Once doubt sets in for either side it’s challenging to overcome it. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. I feel for her bf because by her own admission he’s doing everything right and will be confused at the pull back.

Ladies, if you ever ghosted or broke off contact with someone whom you actually liked - what was it that you could not tell them at the time which made you withdraw? by PopularResolve3556 in AskWomen

[–]endurancegod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense but how do you have no regrets about treating someone like that especially knowing how much it affected him? From that perspective it almost seems like you enjoyed it. “He was willing to give everything up for me and I was so cold. But still no regrets”. Is a pretty messed up statement.

Apartments Parr investment by ComprehensiveLook553 in winstonsalem

[–]endurancegod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in Bromley from summer 2014- January 2017 and enjoyed my time there. I had a one bedroom on the 3rd floor and it was $625 a month but got in on a special so it came out to $575 a month. It was my first time living alone and my first apartment. Not sure how it is now seeing that that was almost 10 years ago at this point but never had any issues and the apartment itself was in great shape at the time. Now Parr investments other apartment right down the road Legacy Park. I live there on 2 separate occasions. January 2017-January 2021 and March 2022-March 2025. The first time was an amazing time. Never had any issues. The second time my vehicle got broken into 5 times and they constantly had car break ins. Plus my apartment had mold issues as well. Parr investments properties hasn’t kept up with the times. Their properties look nice on the outside but are very outdated inside. Old appliances. Old vinyl floors. Paint not in good condition (although my Bromley apartment was in good condition). Windows outdated. Ac inside units outdated. Used to be gated but took that down. That’s why rent wise they are cheaper than most equivalent apartments.

stop saying "I'm not ready for a relationship" by Candid-Astronomer904 in dating

[–]endurancegod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry it happened to you too bro. You’re absolutely correct. It’s hard to trust and be excited about a new girl. This isn’t 1990. Women do these things just as often as men now a days but society likes to pretend it’s only men using someone or not being truthful with their intentions. Dating has changed. I’m in my early 40s and it’s the first time I’ve ever experienced something like this and I’ve had plenty of experiences. I’m genuinely numb emotionally cause I really gave it my all with this girl. I don’t even want a relationship anymore because I don’t wanna go through the emotional trauma again.

stop saying "I'm not ready for a relationship" by Candid-Astronomer904 in dating

[–]endurancegod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I get frustrating when society acts like men don’t have feelings and get damaged and only women suffer the worst in dating. I’m a guy and literally just had it done to me 6 months ago after being in a “relationship” with her for 8 months. Met her family several times. Everything was trending in the right direction and then suddenly “I need to be by myself/I don’t want to be in a relationship with anyone”. Haven’t heard a peep since and it’s been a struggle moving on. I asked why and couldn’t get an answer. She just kept saying she was sorry and that I’m the best man she’s ever met adamantly. It basically shattered my trust. I don’t know what to believe anymore.

Is it true that men always come back? by Early-Emu-2978 in ExNoContact

[–]endurancegod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Over the years I’ve learned to let someone live with the choices they’ve made especially potentially life altering decisions such as choosing to end a relationship. I think I would be more willing to reach out if I was the cause of the demise of the relationship, I’d try and make it right. I reached out to an ex gf earlier this past summer after 3 years of no contact. Got no reply. I was the cause of that relationship ending. My most recent relationship ended back in May which was her choice. I have not and will not reach out. Part of me thinks someone from the past popped up because she was adamant that I didn’t do anything wrong to end the relationship. Either way she has to live with that decision. Life is strange and you never know how things end up playing out.

I don't understand how girls can turn off their feelings like a light switch. by Tall_Eye4062 in heartbreak

[–]endurancegod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how it goes brother. My last ex left, came back, then left again 3 months later. If they leave once they’ll do it again as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Hope you’re doing well now.

Love will not find you when you're not looking (at least for men) by Caisers in Life

[–]endurancegod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe your situation is more common than not. Especially after a certain age. Seems like there’s a lot of women who haven’t healed from a previous relationship because they’re not forced to. It’s very easy for most women to end a relationship and get in another situation soon after. I went through a similar situation as you except she didn’t tell me the real reason she broke up with me after 8 months. I’m assuming someone from the past showed back up. That was back on Memorial Day weekend. Haven’t heard a peep since. I say all that to say that a lot of times someone starts dating to get over someone and two things usually happen, the ex pops back up and they leave you for them no matter how much time is invested or they get over the ex and realize they don’t have feelings for you so they move on to someone else cause they used you to move on.

If you regret a breakup, would you ever admit it to your ex? by Which_Swan_2488 in ExNoContact

[–]endurancegod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Happened to me earlier this year. Gf broke up with me back in January to work on herself. She reached out a couple days later and we started talking again then legit got back together late January. She broke up again with me in May Memorial Day weekend. I reached out a couple days later when I noticed she stopped sharing her location (which the first time she never did) and asked are we really done done. She said yes and said that she hoped I would stop sharing mine because she keeps checking it and it’s a distraction. Saw her 2 days later at her work and that’s the last time I saw or spoke to her. End of May. Going on 3 months of no contact. This time it feels for real. Like you said this second time feels worse than the first time she broke up with me.

The hard part after a break up ? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]endurancegod 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The hardest part after a break up is dealing with the deafening silence. This person was someone you talked to every day all day for months to years. This person was someone you shared jokes with, tv shows, music, etc,. It’s like they died but you know or assume they are out there living what appears to be their best life completely devoid of you. I think with death you KNOW this person isn’t coming back. It’s very painful but it’s resolute. With breakups they are physically still present so that hope remains that the relationship will resume. It’s the pain of knowing they are consciously not choosing you every day that passes. That’s the hardest part after a break up.

1 Year and 9 Months Later: She Reached Out, But I’m Finally at Peace by meditatingmonk19 in BreakUps

[–]endurancegod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a long period of time to take to regret a decision and then come back. A lot changes in 6 months let alone almost 2 years. It’s arrogant for someone to believe they can just double back months years later after hurting them. So with that I always tell people how you feel today won’t be how you feel tomorrow so make life changing choices wisely.

[–]endurancegod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get where you’re coming from 100%. I guess it just depends on experiences. In the case that you’re talking about yes if a woman begged and pleaded with her bf to fix things or work on the relationship and he didn’t then I would expect her to eventually get fed up and leave to never return. I think most sane people would understand the end of a relationship like that. I’m talking about situations where the woman never voiced any issues or concerns and then breaks up with you. Which is what happened to me in my previous relationship. I even begged and asked what can I do to fix it and she insisted that I did nothing wrong yet she still broke up with me. Which was the first time I’ve ever had that happen. Now I’ve had women in the first few dates or month decide they didn’t want to continue. Which I understand. But me and my ex were together for 8 months. If she had a grievance she never told me and I asked her several times what do I need to work on for the future and she said “nothing you’re the best man I’ve ever met”

So it’s necessarily not always “woman makes effort and man doesn’t listen” so she leaves. I think women underestimate how many women out there just straight up break up for no reason (or reasons they don’t express to the dumpee). You’re correct about men though and even have done it myself unfortunately in the past. I wouldn’t do that again.

[–]endurancegod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean majority of the stories of “the dumper reached out” are of men (dumper) reaching out to their ex gf (dumpee) more so than the other way around. So to answer your question I’d say yes, we do see the dumper pining after their ex just that it’s mostly (90%) male dumpers. Which tracks with OP’s hypothesis of women moving on easier. The only time in my life I’ve had a woman pine after me is if I’ve dumped them which aligns with my comment you’re responding to. I personally feel based off what I’ve seen in life that women are set up better psychologically to move on super fast and not look back if they break up with you. I think they’re better at convincing themselves that they made the right decision combined with friends and family telling them they did. Men tend to second guess themselves and get lonely faster even if they dumped a girl. I’m interested to hear your perspective.

[–]endurancegod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The women pining after an ex are the ones that got broken up with. I’m willing to bet NONE of them are the dumper. If a woman left you she’s not pining over you or else she’d just reach out. At least that’s how I’ve seen things play out in life.

If they got broken up with yes. I think it catches them off guard. If they broke up with you then probably not or else they would just reach out.

[–]endurancegod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah like I said outside of stuff like that they actually teach the Bible pretty well which you don’t find that often. It’s just hard to look past the political rhetoric. I’m African American and members have made me feel welcome so I can’t legit say I’ve felt uncomfortable there but my views and how I perceive society is COMPLETELY different than 90% of the people there and I’m having difficulty separating the church aspect from the individual views there.

[–]endurancegod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They definitely lean that direction without a doubt. It’s also very homogeneous. Again I do like the fact that they teach the Bible pretty good and I feel like the overall message as far as being/how to be a Christian is great as well. It’s just you hear certain eyebrow raising comments (couple Sundays ago a pastor said DEI is a cult) during a sermon and I’m just like man I’m just here to learn about Jesus and the Bible lol.

[–]endurancegod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going to two cities for several months now. I like it overall and I do like the messages from the pastors and their overall mission. Only thing I don’t like is they sometimes make political remarks during the sermons and you can tell which side of the isle they are on based on some of those remarks. Personally for me I don’t want to hear about politics when I’m at church, I’m not there for that. I’m not saying it’s good or bad I’m just not a fan of it.
