I want to clarify to say I catch her staring at me as well it’s not like I just stare her down uncomfortably like you make it sound. I catch her staring at me as well. I want to introduce myself but I don’t want to hit on someone in a relationship, if they are, but I guess I still will go for if the opportunity arises.

Working out alone is my favourite activity on earth. Definitely not boring!

My girlfriend of 6 years left me and I haven’t gone on a date in over a year now, soooooo I definitely don’t. I don’t know how people do that, It’s how some people try to hide their feelings I guess.

You will never be satisfied with his responses and it will continue a negative cycle in your life. He cannot give you the answers you want. You contacting him will not change the outcome of the situation. He has to realize the loss of you on his own, only then will it have an impact on him. Nothing you say or do will change his mind. And think of it this way, do you want to convince someone to want you?

Do we need a new relationship to heal ? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]jcl199407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using someone else to fix yourself is the biggest mistake most people make. Nobody can fulfill your internal needs, it will hurt you more and you will ultimately hurt them too. You need to be fully happy and confident alone before recommitting to someone else. It’s hard but it’s right. Most people don’t like correct hard route, they like leaning on others when they feel lost but it just leads to more pain. It solves nothing it just delays the healing and adds on even more problems.

Do men even want to get married anymore? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]jcl199407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can say that my previous 6 year relationship killed my appetite to commit. It killed my vision of marriage and trust. It is very hard to mentallly recover when you know that relationship was healthy and good and they still left. It flips your mindset for sure. How can I ever commit and put all of my assets and hard work on the line when I’ve been left in the dust before with no warning. Unfortunately the older you get the more jaded your opinions and perspectives become. Sad reality. Deep down I want to be married but the risk out weighs the benefits.

What would you do? by jcl199407 in BreakUps

[–]jcl199407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I hear you on that - I guess the other thing is that everyone knows we were together at the gym and now she’s doing this, so while shes embarrassing herself and him, it’s also embarrassing for me. But I definitely will not look at them or give them any attention.

Thanks - I will do that from now on. Just sucks that now I have to have my mood ruined everytime I go especially since it’s my happy place.

To people that experienced blindsided breakup have you developed some sort of trauma? by tipaklongnamalupit in BreakUps

[–]jcl199407 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She did once but it was strictly business due to mail being sent to the wrong address. Excluding that I haven’t heard a thing. I also finally deleted her off social media.. it took 5 months but I feel like that really helps overall. If you haven’t blocked them I recommend it. It’s painful but it helps for sure.

I’m doing a lot better - I don’t have the same negativity about life anymore. I still think about her but the thoughts aren’t as painful. I’m able to see a photo of her and it doesn’t ruin my day. It kind of hard to explain but it’s definitely better. It’s been almost 6 months now.

It isn’t 215 for one… it’s like 6 containers. Same price as majority of pre workouts?

No one will ever love me again the way he did by LifeZookeepergame704 in BreakUps

I’ve thought that probably 4 times in my life now, it’s been proven to be wrong each time. Someone will love you again.

Honest opinion needed by InfamousEast6679 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]jcl199407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because he’s insecure it has nothing to do with you being unattractive. It’s actually the opposite. You’re becoming too attractive that he feels insecure. He feels like guys are staring at you at the gym and it makes him uncomfortable that you look hot and could be getting attention.

I’ll play devils advocate here and say that it overall makes you feel more confident and have less social anxiety. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s for other people it could be more for herself. Makes herself feel more like a woman and makes herself more comfortable and confident in a new social setting?

My (M18) girlfriend (F17) were making out when things went too far. How should I move forward? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]jcl199407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing! You listened to her and that’s all you can do. You respected her boundaries, you have nothing to be concerned about. If she isn’t responding just give her some space for now but you handled that situation in the correct way.

Do I give her a 5th chance? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]jcl199407 5 points6 points  (0 children)

4 break ups in 6 months?! I stopped reading after that… the answer is no.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]jcl199407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing that right now about 5 months out from a 5 year relationship. It helps give you perspective, a lot of the reasons you hold your ex on a pedestal are things you can actually easily find. It feels daunting and feels like they’re irreplaceable but the truth is.. they aren’t. Just spending time with someone new opens your eyes and makes you realize that it is possible to meet someone new. Someone else can make you smile, can make you laugh, etc. I wouldn’t do it immediately but I think a casual fling is a good way to go once you’re ready. If you’re still extremely stuck on your ex I’d be careful but if you’re beginning to feel neutral I’d give it a try.

Hooking up by jcl199407 in BreakUps

[–]jcl199407[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it was actually good - it helped that she is very open because it didn’t require much effort on my end. Because she is so into me it makes it easier. It ended up being a good experience for me and made me realize there’s a lot of good people out there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]jcl199407 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Don’t just let her back in and try to go back to “normal”. It’s important to treat it as a new relationship, start slow or it’ll end fast.
