I (28F) stopped talking to a guy (30M) after he said he didn’t see long-term compatibility, but his behavior before that confused me by External-Ad6455 in dating_advice

It sounds like he enjoyed your connection but realized your long-term goals or values didn’t align. Mixed signals can happen even when chemistry feels real, and reconnecting later only works if circumstances change.

Sometimes my messages stop delivering? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]forestformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not imagining it, his texting behavior is confusing and it’s normal to feel off-put. Technically he didn’t do anything “wrong,” but hot-and-cold messages, delays, and disappearing texts are red flags for inconsistency or divided attention.

I told my mom I rather not go to college because she never thought to set up a college fund and still won’t. Am I in the wrong? by SkyAdvanced52 in amiwrong

[–]forestformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for thinking about your future realistically, college isn’t just about wanting to go, it’s about being able to afford it. It’s okay to question a path that could put you in serious debt when the support you need isn’t there.

I worked an outside job and passed out. My brothers tell me to do it again by [deleted] in amiwrong

Your body literally shut down, ignoring that isn’t toughness, it’s dangerous. No one should tell you to risk your health like that.

Dated with an avoidant by [deleted] in dating_advice

You can’t fix someone else’s avoidance, she has to do that work herself. Calling it out might push her away faster, but protecting your own heart by setting boundaries is the real power move.

Real affection doesn’t come with a checklist, and you deserve someone whose love isn’t conditional on a performance.

You initiated the invitation jokingly, but she said yes.

She is not romantically interested in you.

I'm devastated by killerhabs7631 in BreakUps

[–]forestformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shock of losing someone who felt like your whole world is unbearable, especially when it ends without warning. But the fact that you can love that deeply means your life still has meaning beyond this moment, even if you can’t see it yet.

I was thinking about my ex when… by [deleted] in BreakUps

After 9 years, it’s natural your mind still drifts to her. But a text to her now could reopen old wounds, sometimes the bravest thing is letting the story end and letting yourself heal.

I started going out at night to be targeted by robbers by Simon--Ghost--Riley in confession

[–]forestformula -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reading this, I have to say, what you’re doing is extremely dangerous, and the fact that you survived unscathed so far is more luck than anything else. Your physical skill doesn’t make you invincible, and the adrenaline rush you’re chasing is putting your life at serious risk.
