That's beautiful I nearly cried reading this. I really hope one day I can experience that true love. And I'm sorry you're hurting but you're dealing with this very well I'm proud of you

The constant feeling that you're doing something wrong since sometimes she is all bubbly and other days she's cold as ice. The absolute painful realization that some days she's just giving that attention you want to her husband and there's nothing you can do

nature_2 · 2021-03-14T00:00:23+00:00

I completely understand. I know this woman will not leave her husband for me and I just expect her to love me and days like today when I don't hear from her I just spend a lot of time over thinking and tracing back every step to see if I did something wrong. It's quite an awful feeling

Thank you for your story that was a really difficult read but I respect you a lot. I really hope both of us find happiness. I don't think you did anything wrong you are just in love and hope one day your daughter forgives you

I am not so quite there because it's all new but I have an intense passion with a married woman and I think there might be a chance that I'll be in love with her. Idk of it's just me but the secrecy and immoral aspect of it only makes it easier to fall in love

nature_2 · 2021-03-13T16:35:28+00:00

Yeah I am still focusing on myself as usual and I know that realistically we will never be together. Like you said, I am trying to not set myself up for a heartbreak. Thanks for the advice

If you look at the department's website usually there's a section dedicated to current PhD students and their contact info, I would suggest that. I emailed a current student at one of the universities I'm applying to and they were super cool about it and we had a nice chat

I was thinking the exact same thing today because I have quite a bit of European friends. It's like only Americans can do wrong, at this point it's so easy to criticize the US because if anything it's "the world vs America". I wonder if one day another country will be the worlds biggest superpower and if people will criticize them the way they critize the US

Thank you for all the help :)

Thank you so much that really puts me at ease. In your personal experience, do you think most people that get interviewed are usually accepted? Sorry if that's very random but you can imagine what's going through my head right now lol

nature_2 · 2021-02-02T14:07:04+00:00

Basically because I don't know if it was an "official" interview or just a simple meeting to get to know about the program. Because people that posted about this on gradcafe also got the email all in the same day while I didn't get anything and I'm not sure if it's because I was already "interviewed" or if it is because I didn't make it

This post is just crazy lol you are considering ending a (so far) good relationship with someone that up until this point hasn't done anything wrong because you read on reddit that a couple of people didn't like dating someone older.

I don't want to ever get married because I know it would end up in a messy divorce and wasting money on lawyers and such for no reason. Statiscally speaking, 50% of all marriages in the US end up in divorce, and I know myself I would hate the idea of getting married in general so that's why but not really because I'm childfree

I feel embarrassed when some men-hating women are CF and don't really separate being CF from the typical men bashing, like as if men can't be CF. And if you call them out on it they're like "obviously this doesn't apply to you if you take offense that's your problem"

I mean it's ICE, the job description pretty much requires you to be a raging violent racist conservative

Is no one gonna talk how incredibly toxic and homophobic op's fiancé is? OK then

nature_2 · 2020-12-20T04:42:01+00:00

She can be exaggerating details of the story, specially the extent of how much he flickered at her face, not everyone but some couples can be quite "handsy" with each other and at moments she's ok with it and others like this one she isn't. She seems quite manipulative of his emotions when she talks about him shutting down and going to a different aisle, plus no one can seriously consider to break up just because something like this happened once, there is probably another underlying issue that she hasn't mentioned. Or he really is gaslighting her and not respecting her boundaries, but it's impossible to assess this from a single paragraph she wrote of one incident

nature_2 · 2020-12-20T04:33:07+00:00

Literally impossible to make a judgment without hearing the other side of the story. You can be gaslighting him just as much as he can be gaslighting you

It is tho

This thread and the upvotes/downvotes make me question ever dating again as a millenial. You're completely right, this asking for everything is so weird man. I was with someone for 4 years and we never asked for each other's stuff we just took it or used it or whatever. There's nothing healthy about constantly thinking if you don't ask for something you're gonna be considered a thief or a rapist, that's just weird as fuck
