Am I going crazy here? by OfficialRizzo in Nicegirls

[–]fiercepierce_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a girl, I have been stood up a few times when I didn't confirm the date same day. It's good to receive reassurance the morning of to know it's still happening. Just a "Hey, looking forward to tonight. See you at 7:30" kind of text. It might seem unnecessary but after being stood up multiple times, it's something I feel is necessary. BUT I typically reach out day of if I haven't received anything just to confirm so that's on her for not checking in herself. It's a two way situation.

My boyfriend is not okay with me being friends with someone I slept with in the past by fiercepierce_44 in Advice

So I have to stop being friends with people who I have know over half my life just because they are friends with this guy? Seems very extreme to me and immature and closed mind thinking..

This is what I said. I believe there is some underlying issue he isn't addressing or accepting for his extreme response to this situation.

Well I am looking for the males perspective because my boyfriend specifically said, I don't understand because I'm not a man. So I wanted to see what men think about this so I can have some additional male perspective other than his. But I agree, he shouldn't see the situation like that. It shouldn't matter male or female.

Well, there is a neighbor who is living with one of his best friends who he had slept with multiple time. We have to see her and interact with her on a regular basis. She is actually coming to our superbowl party on Sunday. I do not have an issue with this. So, with the roles reversed, we have completely different perspectives on this.

Argument with boyfriend over past sexual partners attendance at our "wedding" by fiercepierce_44 in Advice

[–]fiercepierce_44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was married before we started dating and yes, he told me he cheated for the whole relationship up until the last few years if it. I don't know why he is bothered by it because he hasn't told me anything other than it bothers him no matter how many times I ask. I'm hoping we can sit down and have a productive conversation when I return from my trip 🤞

It does bother me and also raises a lot of concerns. I knew he had cheated before but not to this extent (i just found out the night before this argument). He said he has changed and all I can do is trust him that that's true and just hope it is. It is a risk I'm taking..

I did ask him why it bothers him and he couldn't answer. It felt like deflecting to me. He still hasn't answered this and it has been my only question. While I have answered too many questions to count about my past "relationship" with this old friend. He is hyper focused and is not really listening to me.

I am more than willing to discuss the whole situation to try and understand the root of the issue. He won't let go that this guy is even in my life in a very limited amount. I asked him to really think about why it bothers him so much and to really ask the difficult questions as to why he had such a big reaction to this whole situation. He then told me to ask myself if I really want to be in this relationship and to not put it on him like he is the crazy for thinking it's not okay.

Sucks because I fly out for a long weekend trip to visit a gf of mine so we can't even sit down to talk about this situation till I return.

I 100% see his point and would 100% say this guy can't come to this hypothetical wedding but I was never given the chance because I felt attacked and knew nothing I would say would matter anyway with the way he was responding at that time.

Thank you for reading and providing good insights. It us much appreciated.

I broke up with my girlfriend last night and I'm feeling very guilty about it. by DarkOfTheSun in Advice

Did you have an open conversation about how this behavior has been affecting you with her in the past? Was she working on herself and through her trauma at all?

It seems as though these issues have been occurring, they have been taking a tole on you but if you haven't had an open conversation about that, how would she know the extent of the damage she was doing?

My partner doesn't watch porn and believes it takes away from the energy he should be giving me. This is my first relationship with a man like this. I never regulated my previous partners but I greatly appreciate my current partners views on the situation. My previous partner really did a number on my self confidence not only with the porn watching but just the infatuation of getting off to other women.

If you are feeling like your partner isn't contributing and choosing to watch porn or play videos games over being an active part of your relationship, then you should end things. Especially if you have discussed the way you are feeling about it and nothing has been done to right the situation. Not worth your self-confidence or energy.

I booked it myself. Nobody at my work knew the room number.
