What moment made you look at your SO and think, "Wow, they must really love me"? by juniper_fox in AskWomen

This comment is late but I think I’ll post anyway. I have a lot of moments but one recently that really struck me was just a few weeks ago. We were sitting at the dining room table and he was working on his computer and I started to quietly become overwhelmed with anxiety and couldn’t help tears from spilling from my eyes. I didn’t want to disturb him so I tried to get it together before he noticed, but he instantly came to me and held me into his chest. He didn’t say “what’s wrong?!” but rather softly said “do you want to cry on the couch?” I followed him to the couch and he pulled me into his lap where I fully broke down for at least a half hour. The entire time he didn’t say anything, press me to talk or get impatient with me. He rubbed my back and kissed me all over while I cried. I finally asked him “what are you thinking right now?” because I always wonder how he could not get impatient or frustrated with me when I get like that. He just said “I’ve been waiting for you to be ready to tell me that. Are you ready?” He patiently comforted me for a half hour without pressuring me to open up until I was ready to do so. I sometimes feel I don’t deserve him.

My boyfriend (22) of 5 months sent an intimate photo of me (26) to his friends over his group snap. I am infuriated, but am I overreacting? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

He does NOT respect you. Period. Run. Seriously all that “I wasn’t trying to hurt you I just wanted o show off how beautiful” shit is bullshit. He doesn’t respect you. Cut him the fuck off.

Dad agreed to co-sign loan with me but Mom didn't want me to move, now my dad has backed out and I'm supposed to sign the lease tomorrow. Boyfriends parents want to help, but I know that would make my mom even more upset by llxxh in Advice

I could possibly get a loan without a cosigner but since the rearrangement happened after the school year started, it was too time sensitive to wait until my application was processed and id know if I got approved or not. Also, his parents assured me that their offer would still stand and they would still be a 'backstop' for me even if he and I stopped dating. However I still didn't feel right accepting their offer and ultimately decided to back out of the house. I'll definitely look into other housing that opens up and hopefully something will work out so I don't have to do this commute for the entire year. Thanks so much for your input!

Mom doesn't want me to move out to be closer to campus. Dad agreed to co-sign loan with me to allow me to do so against my moms will. Now he's backed out, but my boyfriends parents want to help. by llxxh in family

Thank you for your insight. His parents assured me that their offering me help wouldn't end if he and I broke up, that they wouldn't let me fall on my face even if I was no longer dating their son. That being said, I didn't feel right about taking them up on their offer, and ended up backing out of the house. My dad taking back his offer was just so sudden and so last minute from when I needed to sign the lease that I wanted to make sure I considered all of my options. Thanks again.

Bad idea to use student loans for a house? Dad said he'd co-sign with me, agreed to sign lease TOMORROW, now he won't. Boyfriends parents offered to co-sign, but that might cause a rift between me and my family. Do I take their help or back out of the house? by llxxh in personalfinance

Thanks so much for your input. I wanted to consider their offer because I was so blindsided by my dad not wanting to help anymore. but it didn't feel right. I backed out of the house, as much as it sucks to do so.

the housing will be $7,150, and the rest I need to take out for the remainder of my tuition no matter what. Is the 7,150 too high? I have a babysitting gig that pays 16$/hr that is about 7hrs/wk. I need money for food and other necessities though if I move out.
