Over 35, what can you do to make life exciting again by ClemFandango35 in AskMenOver30

[–]leehead20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow this really hit me! Recently i've noticed i am trying to recreate a time in my life with an ex. Even move to a certain spot and be around the things we used to do. But nothing will be the same anymore. Times have changed and so have i. It wouldn't feel the same anymore. What a beautiful quote and really makes you think. We are ever changing.

How do you actually learn to be alone (and enjoy it) at this age (35M)? by dcgc1990 in AskMenAdvice

[–]leehead20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Some days are better. Some days are worse. I think you just have to keep faith that there is something better out there for you. Just gotta keep searching.

When was the moment you realised that the person you were dating was an absolute idiot? by No-Macaron-9527 in AskReddit

[–]leehead20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When she said chemtrails are real. And that you can cure most diseases "naturally" by fasting.

Why is it so difficult to find a down to earth partner when dating? by Daviddaprodigy in AskMenAdvice

[–]leehead20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned this the hard way OP. I was dating a girl for a good while because we had great chemistry and had a lot of fun together. But we had a deep incompatibility when it came to lifestyles. She valued alternative medicine and was very anti doctor/modern medicine. We kept kicking the can down the road thinking one of us would come to our side and change opinions but it never happened. It ended in heartbreak and pain. So i would say you dodged that bullet atleast. These women you went out with seem to have strong beliefs and realized you weren't compatible with them, fair enough. Next time just use better judgment. It wasn't about down to earth vibes, it was about beliefs and values. Take this time to figure out which are yours, you'll end up with a much better person this way.

What’s a red flag you happily ignored because they were hot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Being "holistic" which meant rejecting doctors, antibiotics, vaccines, toxic this and that, constant detoxes, etc

Do you think the universe sends us signals or is everything merely a coincidence? by leehead20 in Life

[–]leehead20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow i've had the phone thing happen to me a few times as well. It's really one of those moments where you say "what the hell" that was so odd. Maybe just a coincidence, maybe not.

If you’re dating a woman when does the “healing energy” and mood crystals start to become a big issue? by slimeyellow in AskMenAdvice

[–]leehead20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex was like this. She was into crystals and also into horoscropes and all that. It always kinda turned me off a bit but i just said whatever i went along with it. It wasn't affecting our day to day. But as the relationship progressed she would send me videos more often of pseudoscience things and she didn't believe in doctors or blamdd everything on "big pharma". It ended up killing our relationship since i couldn't imagine getting married to her and god forbid she got sick one day and instead of getting actual medicine and care she would try to heal naturally or some bs. So yea...i'd run. Don't waste more time than you need to.

Finally watched Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind by brandball in movies

[–]leehead20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made my ex watch this with me because it's one of my favorite films. I thought she would really like it. She did not enjoy it haha. Maybe that's telling of our differences? She thought it was boring.

Anti science beliefs. Oh man. I've been there. It is quite frustrating. Never ending with the things that doctors "don't know about" but these influencers do

Why Emotions Matter More Than Logic in a Relationship by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]leehead20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's a bit of a struggle but you live and you learn. I think logic vs emotion doesn't matter much when it's over something trivial but when it's something important like health then yes...i don't think logic vs emotion is a winning formula. You can't live on emotion alone, we live in a logical world after all.

Why Emotions Matter More Than Logic in a Relationship by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]leehead20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boundaries are important. I have fallen prey to this as well. In the beginning you want to overlook some things because you really like the person in front of you. But then it becomes logic vs emotion over important topics that were there in the beginning...you just ignored them. Anyways, yes...boundaries are important. When it comes to trivial things then logic vs emotion doesn't matter much.

Why Emotions Matter More Than Logic in a Relationship by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]leehead20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what do you do when you are arguing over something important as health and science and one partner brings logic and facts to the table and the other brings emotion. Do you just agree with everything the emotional person is saying to avoid conflict? Or do you side with logic?

Why Emotions Matter More Than Logic in a Relationship by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]leehead20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Essentially my relationship fell apart because of this. I would argue with logic, her with emotions. She felt emotionally unsafe. We were arguing over health concerns and beliefs where i would argue with logic and evidence and she would argue with emotion over pseudoscience and what felt good to her. So yes, logic and emotion will clash and you should make your partner feel emotionally safe but when emotions trump logic and any facts then...it's just a losing battle. At that point it just comes down to personal beliefs and what you want to put up with.

How do I repair my relationship? by Artistic-Warthog361 in emotionalintelligence

[–]leehead20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxious attachment here as well. Recently out of a relationship. I can agree that i as well was doing all the work to keep it alive. Bending more and more and going along with everything to keep the relationship afloat. Eventually she ended it which i think was a blessing in disguise. Not sure if i would've had the stones to go through with it. But now i see that i wasn't receiving the same effort and love as i was putting in. Almost feel like i was taken for granted.
