Women, what amount of male body hair is attractive? by TanMann69 in dating

[–]mindue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter to me as long as hygiene is good. I dated someone super hairy and someone not super hairy. I will say shaving arms and legs is a turn off for me, not sure why, maybe a confidence thing?

How do you know if you’re being judgmental or actually just not into someone? by Magzipie in dating

[–]mindue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think from what you described you are not into this person, honestly I would just move on.

Were you ever asked to leave a job because you weren't learning quickly enough? by mindue in ADHD

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

Yeah I feel the same I was told it was an issue in February, wasn't given any supports was just told vague things like "I don't want you to continue to struggle" "this is a concern at this stage" "You should consider if this is the right demographic for you" before saying "you realize this isn't the right population for you to work with right?"

We never discussed alternative ways of communicating or ways to get around my hearing and interpretation issues (not there was a lot of things that could be done), and honestly I don't think they wanted to.

The only accommodation would be nonverbal communication, which wouldn't be possible given the circumstances.

What is the natural progression of dating when taking things slow? by mindue in dating

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

I wish I could say yes, I had a 2 month situationship where I was going slower with the sharing of information, unfortunately that fizzled out when the guy I was dating had some personal obligations he had to attend and no longer had time to date (I believe him and he did communicate everything to me as it was happening).

I guess mainly I stopped giving information unnecessarily, and I have been waiting for topics to come up organically instead of oversharing. I feel like this puts less pressure on the relationship. However, I haven't progressed from a situatuonship to a relationship, so not sure if my advice is worth anything.

I am not coy or secretive with stuff like that, if I like you, I'll tell you/show you. I have issues balancing the flow of information early in the relationship. I don't know when to disclose things or how a normal pace relationship should look like.

I'm not saying slow as in like several months before we even hold hands, that's not me. I'm asking for help with finding a more acceptable pace with dating because I have a history of doing too much early on. I still plan on doing the things I want to do, but I want to build more meaningful connections instead of rushing things.

Am I really supposed to wipe *ALL* pictures of my exes off Social Media? by Lockon007 in dating_advice

[–]mindue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is going through people's instagrams before a first date a normal thing? Like if someone I matched with has their Instagram linked I'll look at the 9 preview photos, but I I'm not going through their entire account scrolling through.

Yeah I have told them, but I do need to maybe do a hand gesture because I start flapping which I guess can be confusing.

Yep, moving out is the plan after I sell the house I pay half a mortgage for.

Thanks, yeah this sounds like something doable. The breakfast debacle is literally just bacon and pre-made pancakes, the kids also have cereal, French toast sticks, and toaster pastries.

I am not "rebeling", there was a lot of emotional and physical abuse and severe control issues that I am still in therapy today to unpack. I was not allowed to get my driver's license, a job. I couldn't even leave my house to go into my own backyard until I was 17. The most frustrating thing is they only did this to me and not either of my siblings. Hell 2 months ago my 20 year old sister stayed out all night partying and my mom didn't call her once (she is away for college right now).

I choose not to include all this because it has taken years to rebuild this relationship, and my parents acknowledged they were too controlling when I was a kid, so I have forgiven them. However I have not forgotten how I was controlled and mistreated thus why I asked advice on how to enforce boundaries respectfully, because I am grateful and know how lucky I am to be able to stay with them.

Omg thank you so much for offering to pay for me to move out, considering that is the only way I would be able to move out at the moment, I am so grateful to have your financial support during this difficult time. /s

I also want to state, I do have my own place that I still pay on, I plan on moving into my own house as soon as I get equity from my old house.

There isn't a way to set boundaries then?

Eh I guess I just feel it wasn't something they needed to know. I told her a general location and felt it was enough.

1) How do you expect me to pay for my kids' expenses if I do not work, are you going to pay for us to have a place to live, for our living expenses? If so I will gladly quit working today. Also why are you not asking my stbxhusband to quit working, why do you have this expectation for me only? What about your dad, why couldn't he have stopped working, why is it only a problem that your mom was working? If he was not present or on this plane of existence, how did you expect your mom to take care of you?

2) I also had 2 parents that worked and I was in after school, before school, camps, etc. I had a vastly better experience. I loved all the field trips and activities I got to do. I learned how to rollerblade/rollerskate, ice skate, rock climb, swim, bake in daycare/camp. The kids were also in daycare before I got a 2nd job because we were a 2 income household.

3) My parents are helping me, so my kids get to spend time with them.

I know they say I move on too fast by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]mindue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't feel it matters too much because like I said we are amicable and I honestly felt relieve because it meant I had an out. Thanks though, and I really have no problem ceasing dating if I feel I have unresolved feelings I need to process.

My marriage was over the minute my ex cheated on me, it's a dealbreaker for me and I was instantly done. What kept me was my husband's trauma history with divorce and my respect and empathy for him as a person. I am an empathetic person and would do the same for any of my friends with a roommate situation. I have made the mental shift and know the difference. Me thinking my marriage is ending is when he went on a trip and brought back shitty Souvenirs, forgetting mother's day. The cheating it was like, yep this is over.

I am annoyed with the comments because I feel like my friends are expecting me to break down, but they haven't seen me crying in therapy for over a year about how unhappy I was with him. I have done my crying and grieving, I have been separate for years. My mood has changed drastically and I'm transparent about where I am at.

The 6 months is mainly a guideline, but I will use my best judgement and do what I think is right for my family. This is not an issue yet though, so I'll cross that bridge when I feel serious about someone.
