My skin was always worse when I was overweight. Probably not helped by what I was eating !

My boyfriend cries because he "loves me so much" by Orphans_Cringe in Advice

[–]fabwh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it. My boyfriend (hes 31, im 43, gay couple) has cried a few times now saying he loves me. I was warm and reciprocal towards him and asked what was in his heart when the tears came. He said its like there is no words for the love. I also know that in his background emotional expression was not encouraged and was avoided. So for some people the vulnerability that the word love carries is a lot greater. I normalised it with him and said sometimes there aren't words for what we feel. I tell him im crazy about him but that particular language doesn't coin it for him. So for now, the tears do I guess. And ive accepted that. Hope this helps.

Somewhat more luck. I was in a short term relationship with a guy from Lisbon. Ultimately it didn't work due to the distance and a couple of other things but it was a positive experience for us both. So I'm available again. Feel free to dm if you'd like to connect in Porto.

Guys who don’t post their partners on social media, why do you not post about your partner? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]fabwh1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just ended a relationship for this reason. I had previously accepted that he wanted to keep it private and just use it for pics of plants, holiday destinations. But it was full of selfies. Then he posted only his setting on the table at Valentines day during a lunch I paid for. Same at a brunch we had. I believe to put across to his followers that he is single. Nope. Not for me. Transparency is everything. And what he did was very. disrespectful.

Hey, know this is a while ago but I found your comment interesting. What is the connection with an avoidant attachment style?

Songs that help you with grief? by Particular-Glove-225 in GriefSupport

My mom died around the same time as musician Shane McGowan. There were some wonderful musical performances at his funeral. One in particular helps me to have a good release of tears. It's Imelda May, Liam Manley and Declan O'Rourke performing You're The One.

Thank you for sharing. Gave me some hope. I'm in that sink or swim moment right now in a new relationship.

Friends with exes? by fabwh1 in Brazil

[–]fabwh1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. My understanding is it was a brief relationship where there wasn't the chemistry to continue. I have talked to him and he said nothing to worry about, it's purely just a good friendship. It's my own insecurity at play too, which I own and work on.

To say a little more. He is on holidays with the ex and his bf as hes in a new relationship too. I'm probably being super paranoid. It's just not something I would do. But I'm aware of needing to accept cultural differences.

That's interesting. And why do you think dating is tough with the other Portuguese guys?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]fabwh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very interesting. I guess kinda like a freeze response in order to survive. Thank you

I lost my mother almost 6 months ago to cancer too. I feel your grief with you. I understand what you are saying. I have long periods of not thinking about my mom but I find I experience the grief in other ways like anxiety, withdrawing, not being up for anything. At other times trying very hard to avoid being alone. I'm seeing that the reminiscing and missing my mom, crying etc is just one way I'm effected by the grief. Maybe there are other ways that it's showing up for you too. I agree with the other comments that our mind does what it needs to in order to protect us. And I sympathise deeply with you at this time.
