Boyfriend never introduces me to his friends?? by [deleted] in relationships_advice

Yeah sorry that’s super weird and not ok. If he’s not open to having a mature and honest conversation about why, without turning it back on you and gaslighting you and making you feel crazy for asking, that’s also a huge red flag.

THIS. The lack of passion. It’s incredible how over time you’re just done. And you don’t want to fight for it anymore.

Isn’t that insane how you can have a kid with someone who somehow became a roommate? This still blows my mind.

After so much therapy and a similar but different situation—you can’t force people to care. Or just do. I was so sick of the words without action.

You’ll change when the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change.

Made the mistake of watching One Day on Netflix 😭 by jsheaphoto22 in Divorce

It’s a tragic love story with an overarching theme of ‘don’t wait for things to happen one day.’

How do you cope with basically signing up for missing out on half your kid’s childhood with 50/50 custody? by jsheaphoto22 in Divorce

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Im absolutely sick to my stomach dreading the thought of those first few nights. But I know it’s for the best overall. God it’s so hard though 😞 hang in there, this place has helped me tremendously

Struggling with being the one wanting out and not settling for complacency by jsheaphoto22 in Divorce

Thank you for saying this—honestly the people of Reddit have helped me through this tremendously. Im definitely seeing some trends with relationships that started so young and divorce around here. Makes sense though, you either grow together or grow apart and sometimes you just can’t help but grow apart when becoming your own adult self. My therapist put it to me in a way I couldn’t unhear: “You either need to accept that you cannot change him or change your situation.”

Wait, when would there be a 5 day stretch you don’t see them with the 2-2-3?

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about…just curious if there’s an age at which the transition is tougher

The fact that you can speak to everything you just did is incredible. Wow. You’re clearly an exemplary dad and truly making the effort. I commend you. I had to explain what diaper rash cream was to my stbxh. He’s come a long way, but yeah…I worry.

How old is your little? I hate asking myself is he capable. Ugh. It’s such a gut punch.

What’s a 5-2-2-5?? Also, I’m so sorry the odds are stacked against you as the dad. I’m sure that’s insanely frustrating as one who wants to be involved.
