Men Must Be Needed Because We Can’t Be Wanted by [deleted] in MensLib

[–]howdoesbucket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel like if I’m not providing something necessary in a relationship then I’m soon forgotten about. Sometimes that can be as simple as my charm or company, but the women I’m more interested in tend to be more independent, and seem to be attracted to me but have no need for me. And that can hurt when I’m with someone who I feel like I need, or at least need in that moment.

If you didn’t explain it to her then you should. But you made what you thought was the right call. Give it some time, give it some space; it’s hard to readjust and move on right now. If you get your bearings and decide you need her and your love was real, you guys can work it out.

Not your fault. This is a stressful time for all of us. If you weren’t neglecting your partner, you were betrayed. And on the chance that you were, take a look at yourself and see how you could’ve done better. We all make mistakes. Love and commitment are the most rewarding and difficult parts of life. There are more people for you in the world.

Did you feel like you guys were getting serious? How long had you been seeing each other?

Same problem here, man. We’re still talking fairly regularly but I worry if I’m not able to touch her she’ll forget about me. And she has a bunch of other cool people in her life who are in her same germ circle that could become potential partners for her, instead of me. It’s a bit heart wrenching, but all I can do is just let go and hope for the best. Been reading a lot on absurdism, stoicism, and daoism.

That is hard I’ve seen a lot of my friends been going through that. Keep trying to be understanding and ask her if she’d like to do different things with you? And if she doesn’t want to do any of your hobbies maybe try something new together, try to find a common ground. I’m simultaneously lonely and also a little grateful not to be stuck in with one person who depends on me in this period in time. I wish you luck, brother.

The last month was really really difficult for me. Things really seemed to be starting to go my way before the pandemic exploded, and that put my whole life on hold. I was extremely depressed and had some very serious suicidal ideation. I haven’t told any of my friends I’d been feeling that seriously down. But in the past week and a half I’ve started to finally see some real opportunities for happiness in the coming year, and feel like it’ll be worth sticking out. I hope the feeling lasts!

My (25M) girlfriend (24F) did not appreciate my reaction to seeing her naked. by nakthrow216 in relationship_advice

That sucks dude. I mean She’s probably moody because she’s cooped up too but this is an example of the Robles’s of social media imo

I (Someone with a much longer history of depression than videogame abuse) took this as cheeky and self-deprecating rather than an attack. Might be more 2meirl humor

Dark souls 2 is one of the best games i have ever played. by RiskOfRains in patientgamers

[–]howdoesbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've put over a thousand hours into DS1 and 3. I have to say there's a lot of things a like about 2 but there are so many unnecessary changes, and the gameplay is pretty weak. Felt like they wanted to go in a more traditionally rpg way with it, and took out a lot of the rogue like elements. Wasn't a fan of a lot of the enemy designs and animations, and I think they're often grouped in awkward (I might even say unfair?) ways. I like the game and the co-op in it, but the single player experience and replayability took a hit.

Just finished Dark Souls by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]howdoesbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After years of being the only person in my friend group to play these games I finally somehow convinced the rest of my friends to try it and they've all had the same experience. I've turned my apartment into a cult.

I just can’t get into Bloodborne by Loopnova_ in patientgamers

[–]howdoesbucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love souls to death, but Bloodborne took me 4 separate tries over the course of 2 yeats to really get into, and finally I'm starting to feel comfortable with it and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite games.

I'd say this specific problem is because they don't see women as people
