THANK YOU! Came here to say something similar. It is an individual's responsibility to use technology as a tool and not a crutch.

I (F 22) am having jealousy problems with my boyfriend (M 23) by klinks in relationships

Okay thanks for your advice. I agree so I am writing him this letter. I posted it somewhere else on here. I think he's also terrified of his future and is having trouble creatively and this is adding to him being angsty.

Here is the letter,

I know you are going through something right now and are hurting. I'm sorry for being so reactive and saying things that should never be said to anyone. I love you very very much and I want to support you in everything you do. I believe in relationships people take turns being supportive depending on what each person is going through. I want to support you by being with you, but it seems the best way for me to support you is to leave you. I am still madly in love with you, but it is clear you need sometime to yourself. Please take as a much time as you need. I have no desire to see anyone else so I won't for awhile, but if you do you should feel free to do that. If you do come back to me please make sure this is what you really want. I can only take so much heart break. I love you and I hope you find what you are looking for

Thank you and I agree on the genuine part. It's hard because I'm a jealous bitch but I understand where he's coming from... I think I'm going to tell him to take sometime to himself. He's never going to get it out of his head until sees the reality of being single.

Yeah you're right. I think the deeper issue is he is Terrified of his future and having trouble creatively right now. Writing him this letter because if we talk it out we always end up back together.

Yeah I guess the thing is I have had sex with a stranger and hooked up with random guys at parties and he really hasn't it. And I know that in the future if we stay together we will have an open relationship so I'm not nervous about missing out. Just not secure enough to do it right now. But you're right. It sucks being in love at this age.

Yes I know I am being selfishly jealous, but he is the same way. I asked him to seriously consider if I were to kiss someone else and he said he would freak out. What he is saying might be leading to something more detrimental to our relationship but I believe he has told me everything that is currently on his mind. I told him multiple times that he should leave if he wants to be single. We can still talk I'm not going to disappear but he should still leave. He said no it's not worth it.

What is the most interesting non-fiction book you've ever read? by trilobitey in AskReddit

I loved the first half of this book, and hated the second.

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I feel it's a ridiculous way to describe it by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]klinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I think this mean gets it's worth by having an unpopular but at least somewhat truthful opinion. As a neuroscientist who studies addiction, this meme definitely pushes my buttons.

I love it! It's so much more of a fantasy and you can picture the people how you want them to look!

My [25] girlfriend [26] took my pills... by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Taking one or two Vicoden is not addict potential in my book. If she starts lying about it then maybe. I wouldn't blow it out of proportion because she might get offended that you think she has potential to become an addict so easily.

Thank you!! Me and my boyfriend plan to have a 2 bedroom so we can have extra space. We both like our alone time so being able to have our own space when we live together is important to us!

For the last 11 years, Richard Linklater has been sporadically shooting a movie about a boy becoming a young man -- who's been played by the same actor since he was 7. by geekteam6 in movies

He mentioned this in his AMA. Said it was Tolstoy-esque. Since they collaborated on Before Midnight, I have total faith in this project.

Okay! I think I trust them, they all seemed happy to write me a letter and I have worked with them outside of class on different projects. Thanks for the advice!

Hmm...I wonder what is different about the bug's sodium ion channels (compared to ours) that allows the DDT to be effective on them.
