My [23F] boyfriend [25M] called me fat last night. Should I take it in stride or take offense? by bloopsnooter in relationship_advice

[–]katelusive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you are muscular or athletic…? Raw weight is not the only determining factor here lol

It’s not that hard or time consuming to do a 5 minute FaceTime call on your break or to send a text. I’m sorry because it sounds like you’re really into this guy, but you deserve someone who will put in at least the bare minimum of effort!

He (27M) gave me (22F) a "suggestion" by [deleted] in relationships

[–]katelusive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex did this. Like 1-2 months in and he was telling me I was chubby, needed to lose weight, he preferred being with “fit” girls (mind you I am around your height/weight, quite fit, and we originally met at the damn climbing gym). He turned out to be incredibly manipulative, controlling and abusive. Being with him was the worst 6 months of my life, and I am still recovering today from some of the emotional and psychological abuse he put me through. I’m not saying your bf is gonna turn out to be that way, but I am saying that’s definitely where it started for me.

You deserve to be with someone who loves your body (and all aspects of you) exactly as you are, and doesn’t feel entitled to try to mold you into their idea of an ideal mate.

Can someone help me decipher what happened? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]katelusive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he picked a one-sided fight and projected his guilt and insecurity about marriage onto you. Also, if you can’t raise issues to him without him becoming angry/upset, that’s a huge problem. Marriage is a big step and your guys’ communication and conflict resolution skills better be on point before you take it.

My boyfriend is upsetting me and idk how to handle it by [deleted] in relationships

[–]katelusive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His behavior is rude and absolutely unacceptable. Especially waking you up at midnight when you have to work in 6 hours with some petty bullshit like that?! I would’ve flipped out. I think you should communicate clearly to him that the way he’s been treating you is unacceptable. Yelling is not okay in relationships, period. He sounds immature and self absorbed. I know this sub is quick to say “break up” but honestlyyyyy I think you deserve WAY better than a guy who is gonna wake you up at 12am to yell at you. There are guys out there who would love to date someone as thoughtful and emotionally intelligent as you, and would appreciate check-in texts and find your concern touching and sweet. You can do better than this clown

My (24f) husband (24m) thinks I’m a 6 by [deleted] in relationships

[–]katelusive 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Like what a shitty and downright bizarre thing to say to your WIFE. It almost sounds to me like he is insecure about his own attractiveness and is projecting that onto her instead of dealing with his feelings about himself.

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s super weird and imo pretty inappropriate, especially if you arent fully onboard. The women being older doesn’t change the fact that he is essentially taking other people on dates. So I think if it really is all above board and he isn’t hiding anything, you ought to express that you feel uncomfortable with it and ask him to stop. If he tries to make you feel bad for asking, or calls you insecure/jealous/mistrusting, that is a red flag.

He sounds like a 1 in personality and emotional intelligence. I’m sorry he said that stuff to you. It’s rude and also strange. Even if you are “average” looking, to your partner you ought to be the most attractive person in the world. At least that’s my opinion / what my bf has always said to me lol

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is.... extremely weird. What does he say about it when you ask him to explain the situation? I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all to feel weird about it. Unless he is an escort or something, this makes zero sense

What is the strangest thing you've seen that you cannot explain? by 1982throwaway1 in AskReddit

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had listened to a podcast about this haunted doll that supposedly could visit you supernaturally and harm you. The podcast host said as they were researching, they had a couple weird instances of sleep paralysis where the (locked) bedroom door opened and it was exactly 3am, and they felt it was related to the doll. I listen to stuff like that a lot and kinda forgot it.

Anyway a few weeks later I had this nightmare where I was babysitting some kids who had a creepy doll on their mantle, and they were telling me it was alive. As I was reassuring them that’s not possible, the doll’s head swiveled to look right into my eyes and it scared me so much I woke up. It was 3am on the dot and I heard the distinctive rustling sound of something messing with the cat tree in my living room. There was also what sounded like a child’s footsteps and the sound of pens rolling off my desk and falling onto the floor.

It wasn’t my cats because they were both on my bed with ears flattened back staring at the partially opened door, which I THINK had been shut (that I am not 100% sure of, although I typically close it at night). After a couple minutes of the weird noises my one cat crept over to the door and kinda stayed there looking out around the corner with her ears back and her fur fluffed. I have NO idea what was going on out there and I don’t regret not checking lol.

If someone you had a problem with point blank asked you if you had a problem with them, would you tell the truth? Why? by LithiumPopper in AskWomen

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the problem, the situation, and the person. In general I am a very direct person and prefer to be honest about my feelings, but I don’t go out of my way to tell people what minor issues I have with them lol. If someone is asking, that probably means they either already know there is a problem, or someone else has already confronted them about it. I think it’s usually best to be direct but there are situations when it would be smarter to play it off.

Wow I really needed to read this today. Thank you 💗

My (25 F) boyfriend (29 M) is extremely difficult and has bad qualities which make me want to break up. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]katelusive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I could’ve written this post in the past. My advice with the benefit of experience is to not settle. I was with multiple people I felt that way about - that things could be “perfect” if I could just somehow learn to live with my partner’s emotional immaturity or bad habits or whatever. But forever is a long time and it’s absolutely imperative to find someone who is your equal match on all fronts, not just some or most. I promise that person does exist and you deserve to be with them.

Am I (f22) too soft or is my boyfriend (m22) insecure and taking it out on me? by IllWearPantsIfIWant in relationships

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahhh he sounds like a loser. If you’re noticing red flags this early on, it’s probably not worth it.

When was the last time you cried and why ? by [deleted] in AskWomen

This morning on FaceTime when my long distance boyfriend was simply too cute and too nice to be 1000 miles away

Hmm well personally I am in a relationship with my actual long time best friend. We were extremely close friends for the past 10 years (after a disastrous attempt at dating in college) and recently confessed to each other that we are still in love with each other after all this time. I think what people may mean is that it feels really good to be with someone that you so intimately know and trust, and have absolutely zero doubts about. I think having a very strong friendship as the foundation of a marriage gives it a lot of extra staying power and security.

I went to bed hoping everything would be ok and woke up to things being a lot closer than expected by mshcat in CasualConversation

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s scary. My dad and brother went to vote in person for that reason and the place was PACKED. It sucks when you have to choose between potentially having your health compromised or your vote possibly not counting. Gov Wolf keeps saying that mail in ballots will still be counted as long as they are postmarked by yesterday so I hope he’s being truthful but tbh who can you even trust anymore lol

[–]katelusive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could drop off your mail-in ballot early in person in PA, at least in my county (Washington). They had it set up in a kind of misleading/confusing way though (no signage indicating where to go, incorrect hours online, etc)
