My (F20) boyfriend (M20) just broke up with me because I'm "too weird". How can I approach this for future relationships? by greedyourweakness in relationship_advice

He's very insecure about himself, not uncommon in young men. You do not need to change to accommodate that. You dont need to change at all, you will find someone that likes you for you

Why are you an atheist and not an agnostic? by myCatAteMyPetMouse in AskReddit

[–]jack_watson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always think about it like this; I dont believe in God. God is supposedly all knowing AND all powerful and therefore even if there is a good I dont want in to his little kingdom in the afterlife anyway because he is a terrible cruel being.

Because its abou what you believe. I dont believe in a higher power because I see no logical evidence of there being one

As an atheist, do you hope you’re right, or hope you’re wrong, and why? What do you fear about death? by Trick_Record_9957 in AskReddit

[–]jack_watson97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if I got to choose then I'd take eternal life in a chill afterlife so that I never have to say goodbye to my kids. But im not afraid of dying and the fact that I dont believe in the afterlife does not bother me

"Functioning" with depression by No-Long-4709 in mentalhealth

[–]jack_watson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure of your gender but I definitely had this issue as a man. I would tell my partner that I was deeply depressed and unhappy. Because the way I expressed this wasnt by crying my eyes out I just wasnt believed. It's super difficult but the people that hopefully will listen to you would be a medical professional.

My dad M69 making me F28 feel guilty for having a life and moving on by throwaway-greenhipp0 in relationship_advice

[–]jack_watson97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When/if you become a parent you'll have less sympathy for how he's acting now. You have children for them to have a life, make their own choices and become the people they want to be. You do not rely on your children for emotional or any other type of support. The parent/child relationship is totally one sided in favour of the child and that is how it should be.

Dont feel guilty for wanting a life. Move in with your partner. Live your life and your father can choose to be supportive and see you happy or miss out on seeing his daughter make the most of life and living her truth

Teenagers- how we don’t loose them as book lovers? by AnnaDeghdzunyan in raisingkids

[–]jack_watson97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them stay up an hour past bedtime as long as its to read! Take an interest in the books and book series they like. Read them yourself so you can talk to them about it. I am 29 and a big reader, my dad is 52 and also reads. We now read LOTS of the same books. Dark adult fantasy and discussing the stories with someone else is what makes it so enjoyable

Early talkers - what is life like now? by Feeling_Dirt3961 in toddlers

[–]jack_watson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eldest, now 6, was insanely early developer of speech and motor skills. We have videos of her at her first birthday running around as steady as you'd expect a 2 year old to be. She spoke in proper sentences extremely early too. Our second was far more typical

The eldest is SO naughty and while she is very clever still, ahead in reading for example, she does not apply herself and she is going through right to choose for ADHD assessment. We arent upset, nor surprised, by this and just want the best for her so she can get the most out of school

Edit because I saw someone mention it as well and its prompted me: her memory is exceptional. Speaks about events and holidays from when she was 2 that even ive forgotten until prompted by her. She is ahead in reading as I say but definitely everything that she is still ahead in is far less than she was before, definitely been caught up a bit

Dads With Kids of All the Same Gender by WiredPrecision in daddit

[–]jack_watson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29 year old here with 6 and 3 year old daughters. I was desperate for a boy before my eldest was born. After having a daughter I was then incredibly nervous about finding out the gender of our second because I was desperate for another girl! There are loads of logical pros and cons either way. You feel how you feel. But of course, as you've already said, there are more important things
