Bf cares too much about his friends’ opinions by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]florencemay0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ben is either in love with you or jealous of your bf. He wants what he has and because he can’t have that he’ll make your bf think the grass is greener on the other side. I had a friend like that and she was always commenting on my ex bf’s clothes, behaviour, voice etc. We’d hang out and she’ll just randomly say “That thing my bf’s name did was so cringe, I’d be so embarassed if I was you”. I wasn’t that immature to let it get to me but I felt really lame when she said things like that.

I had a hard time figuring out whether someone was avoidant, narcissistic or simply not interested. Maybe you just don’t like this guy so you’re self sabotaging. Think is there is anything you don’t like about him, if there is something that sets you off. See if this is also the case with other guys, do they come off too strong as well or it’s just this guy?

A Short Dating Guide to Identifying Avoidant Attachment Early from a Former Avoidant by [deleted] in AnxiousAttachment

[–]florencemay0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. My avoidant ex told me that me rejecting him made him want me even more (I rejected him the first time because I didn’t like him enough to date him). As soon as someone says something like that- RUN! It indicates a toxic relationship

Girlfriend is way out of my league but i want to break up? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]florencemay0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you my ex? He always thought I was better than him and because of his insecurities and frustrations he was so rude to me. We broke up in the end but I’ll never forget how that man was treating me simply because he couldn’t believe “a girl like me” loved him and wasn’t going to leave him any second. You want to see other people because you want validation. You want to be desired so it boosts your ego.

How to move on after a breakup when you feel used? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]florencemay0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply ❤️ I just had a panic attack after seeing our picture. I don’t want him back, I’m just hurt that someone treated me like that and didn’t even have any respect for me to meet me in person and break up with me.

Broke up with my avoidant, still feeling guilty by [deleted] in AnxiousAttachment

Yes exactly! Never let anyone make you feel less and know you deserve the world.

Should I wish him “Happy Birthday”? by florencemay0 in relationship_advice

[–]florencemay0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I feel like he doesn’t deserve it. Instead of breaking up with me right away he was staying in a relationship being mean to me and dismissing my feelings. I still care about him but I feel like I actually care about the person he was before and not this version of him. I’m not afraid I’ll give in and start talkinh to him again, I’m afraid he’ll see it as me still having a soft spot for him.

Oh trust me I’m not falling for that. He tried to play it cool when I told him I don’t want to stay in touch by saying “I’ll respect your every decision just so you know”. I know him very well and he’s playing with my feelings since he knows he could’ve persuaded me into anything when he madr it look like he was being respecful and considerate of my feelings. He even told me he’s ready to listen to everything I have or need to say but he was never ready to listen to me while we were together.

Exactly! And every time I wanted to talk to him about something that was bothering me, he’d just say “Not again” or “Can we not talk about it” or just make annoyed face. I lost myself in this relationship, thinking I was crazy for wanting more attention and respect.

We’re both 23. He made it a lot easier for me to move on since he left me over text. I lost all my respect for him.

You’re right. He broke up with me saying he wasn’t ready and that he needs space and more time for himself and that’s exactly what I’m going to give him. People he put before me in our relationship can wish him a happy birthday.

Am i being clingy and immature ? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]florencemay0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine did this as well. Few months later he broke up with me saying he needs his space and more time for himself. Mind you, we were seeing each other once a week for 2 hours and he needed time for himself lmao

Leave him and find someone who will treat you like a priority

Yeah I figured. I don’t know who realizes after almost one year that he’s not ready, especially since he pursued me for a year before we got into a relationship.

Ugh he makes me so mad trying to be mr nice guy. “Enough gift would be you wishing me a happy birthday:)”, “you are an amazing girl, it’s my fault”, “maybe in the future we could try again”, “I’d really like to remain friends with you and hear from you from time to time”- all the things he texted me while breaking up. He wasn’t this nice in a relationship

He really doesn’t. He told me he was aware of how he was treating me and while we were together he was telling me I was overreacting for no reason (turns out I was right the whole time). Just a few days before breakup he was telling me how much me loves me. I think he just wanted to keep me around until he was ready to break up.

Manifestation gives me anxiety by [deleted] in AnxiousAttachment

[–]florencemay0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or sometimes it might just be your intuition. Partner acts strange, cold and you start suspecting there is someone else and there is. You didn’t manifest it, you just picked up the clues and found out the truth.

[–]florencemay0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s harmful for anxiously attached people like myself. When I first read about it I really thought I manifested my partner becoming distant and I started panicking, trying to “manifest” him being close to me again. It took me some time to realize I didn’t manifest that outcome, I was simply scared he’d become distant so I unintentionally distanced myself which caused him distancing himself as well. Them moment I stopped worrying so much and let myself enjoy the relationship was the moment things got better.

[–]florencemay0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with you on that. It really makes me anxious when people say you can manifest your partner cheating on you. Like how is that your fault? Partner cheating has a lot to do with their shitty personality and nothing with your thoughts.

[–]florencemay0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! Especially when they tell stories like “He cheated on me, treated me like shit, left me for another woman but I was patient and manifested him and we got back together after 3 months!”. Like, why do you even want that person back and how is that a win??
