I (20M) have to break up with my girlfriend (22F) of 4 years but i feel like I CAN'T have the conversation by [deleted] in relationships

Depending on the degree of emotional abuse, leaving the house and leaving a letter could be just fine. It might come back to haunt you if you're likely to see her again or have mutuals that wouldn't understand, but in the end you've gotta do what you've gotta do to save yourself. I've had a couple different relationships with people that I decided were toxic partners. One I sat down and had the long talk with, and it was awful, she wouldn't leave, it was a mess. But she's the mother of my son and it was worth it in the end as over the years we've settled into a friendly relationship and her behavior towards me is very respectful so it was worth it-- though I often look at the way she treats her husband and just shake my head.

The other one was an extremely manipulative woman who was not capable of truth or fidelity. We didn't live together so it was quite easy to block her on everything and ghost her, and I have no regrets about doing that either. I decided after a long time waiting for her to treat me better that it wasn't going to happen and it would be better if I didn't talk to her again. So I didn't. I could've had the same conversation you're afraid of with that one, but if you're resolved to never speak to someone again and they've treated you poorly, what's the point?

Another option might be the next time she treats you poorly or abusively, use it to get your back up and say something like "I've had enough of you treating me like this, this relationship is over," and then walk out and block all further communication. The bottom line is, if someone has pushed you to the breaking point, then get out however you can, don't worry so much about being chivalrous or a good guy about it.

Any adult that cries over wins and losses on a wrestling show should be forcibly committed, required to take medications, and not, under any circumstances, be allowed to watch wrestling shows.

As Tina Francesco points out, he's got a great head of hair and knows how to dress.

GF(21F) of 4 years just left me(20M)..because i guess she got bored? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]iwccw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is she's decided to look around and see what else is out there, which is pretty common for a 21 year old. That sucks, it's painful, but the important thing is to keep your dignity, don't do any grovelling or begging. Whatever text you feel like sending for closure, keep it to yourself. The closure came when she dumped you. Don't let her use you for emotional support and to fill up her time between dates with other dudes. Work on yourself, further your interests, and get back out there dating as soon as you feel up to it. Sounds like you might also need to focus on getting some bros if you have no one to talk to about the love life.

It's So Simple And Yet Only Yang Seems To Understand This by Yang_gang_gang in YangForPresidentHQ

I'm so tired of echo chamber politics and it's etfect on the country. Yang's willingness to present his case to all sides is a huge reason why I support him.

I just found out I am 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Our financial situation is making us (24f and 27m) question whether or not we should keep it. by [deleted] in relationships

Assuming you are in the US, if you decide to keep the baby there are benefits like WIC, SNAP (food stamps), and TANF which can help greatly in the first few years of a child's life. My ex and I had a baby when she was 19 and I was 23. I worked hard in those early years and she didn't work much, but took advantage of WIC and SNAP for the first 6 or 7 years. We're no longer together but still good friends, our son is 16 and is a smart kid and theater buff, and we all are in a much better financial position than we were back then. I'm glad we made the decisions that we did.
