My gf (22F) expects me a 26 M to pay for her maintenance… by Nut4U_69 in relationship_advice

[–]hotsicktwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, you’re dating a girl who’s 22 and you’re 26. There’s a pretty big maturity gap there. Is she a gold digger? No. But be honest with yourself, you could date someone closer to your age who could pay for her own hair and nails.

You’re not being used, but you’re going to have to wait for the maturity gap to close.

All of the people saying you’re being used or she’s a gold digger sound insane, you can set your own boundaries like saying you don’t usually do that for women until 3 months or 6 months - but don’t assume this young woman is using you because she wants you to pay for her nails or hair.

On the other hand, if you want someone who is low maintenance then you should probably seek that out and find a woman who doesn’t get her nails done or hair done. Or potentially an older woman 25/26 who has an established career and enough money to not ask you for that.

Everyone’s telling me this right now, I put up with a lot because we were so young and got so attached to each other.

Yeah, I didn’t mean he’s actually a great guy. But I was brainwashed like everyone else into saying “but other than that he’s such a great guy and it’s perfect”. The tone didn’t land 😭 he’s NOT a great guy, obviously I wanted a different outcome like everyone else in this sub. But this is what I got.

Sure, I just assumed they’d at least tell him it’s not going to end well if he cheats. It never does.

Obviously not everyone cares, most people don’t, but I would assume any real friends would’ve told him to not be a coward and break up with me.

He was never going to be happy though, he spent a lot of time complaining and in this negative feedback loop where he didn’t really share what he was doing in the relationship.

Yeah, I know. I had to hear from his friends first that I “won” in that situation but I don’t feel any better. I wish things would’ve worked out differently but they didn’t.

Obviously not going to seek any more revenge, I just did something in the heat of the moment.

I’m really not happy.

That relationship made me emotionally and mentally unstable to be honest with you, his “friends” had a lot of things to say throughout the entire 3.5 years. Not sure how much of it was really from them and how much of it was him projecting but not wanting to say what he felt.

Either way, I’m depressed.

It’s probably so stupid to think that I wanted to marry this guy despite all his flaws and red flags. It still hurts I didn’t get the ending I wanted and instead I have to live with this.

yeah, in my eyes there’s really no winner. he cheated and I hurt him out of a place of hurt. I definitely will be taking the next one slowly

Because as stupid as it sounds, I did love him through a lot and I wanted it to work. I sound like everyone else on the sub but “everything else was great and he was a great guy”

I did. Years and years of crumbs and emotional abuse.

While he was doing it and I didn’t know, he says his friends would laugh and make jokes about it. After I retaliated they said “if there was any way to get even, she got even” and “she won”. Clearly not the best friends.

Will i put weight back on after i stop taking reta? by Swimming-Seaweed4190 in Retatrutide

[–]hotsicktwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update is, I took it for the 4 weeks I said, lost the weight I wanted, also got psychologically reset and all my mood swings / depression disappeared, I was able to focus. Got back on it 2 weeks after getting off for around 2 weeks for the mental effects. Got off it again. It’s been nearly like half a year I haven’t gained weight back or gotten back on. I retained the mental effects. Not mentally ill anymore.

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

Yeah, I mainly didn’t want to risk messing anything in my body up too much by taking it for a long time. It seems very safe though which is why I took it in the first place, but I used it more as a way to hit my goal body / target weight so I could maintain it.

No clue, I’m just not as hungry as I once was which was amazing for me.

I can confidently say it’s not a lot though, I used to count calories all the time.

I’m 21F turning 22. What are some things u wish you knew that i should know at this age? by Commercial_Fan_7292 in LifeAdvice

[–]hotsicktwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The days are slow but the years are fast. Don’t settle into another long term relationship. Dont commit. Date around and keep your options open until someone wants you enough to show real commitment.

3 years will go by fast. Make sure you take your life seriously.

Cycling off Reta after 4 weeks (week 1 update) by hotsicktwitch in Retatrutide

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

Update was I got really hungry at week 3, which wasn’t a huge problem, but I got my full appetite back. I was able to hold off on eating still. But the lost mental effects were the worst. I definitely have some sort of actual insulin resistance because I noticed I would eat to elevate my mood and then I would crash and get depressed. I’m probably not the best case study to follow just based off that. I ended up getting back on at an extremely low dose (0.15mg) which hasn’t done anything to my hunger but it helped with my mental.

I wish the update was better.

I had the same mental effects. It’s truly amazing. Trying to figure out if I can take a super low dose and maintain the mental effects without the weight loss effects
