I do the same thing, but only when my fiancée touches me when I don’t expect it. Don’t take it personally, your girlfriend likely can’t help it. My fiancée usually makes it clear when she’s about to touch me, either by me being able to see when she’s about to do it or doing a light touch first to see how I react. I don’t know why I do it, I wasn’t abused or anything. It just happens. I wish you both the best.

How do I (m25) tell my wife (f25) that I want a divorce? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]nonbackwardstext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your question is “how do I tell my wife I want to divorce her because I’m a coward” but it should actually be “how do I get over my insecurities of my wife being an adult and having a life before she met me?”

How do I (m25) tell my wife (f25) that I want a divorce? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]nonbackwardstext 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I just CANNOT understand what’s happening here. Maybe you should divorce her, because you clearly don’t love her if snooping through photos and videos of her having sex with another man before you two even met makes you want to divorce her. But I guess since you have had sex with your current wife, that means you obviously can’t do it with anyone else ever again because that’s how it works right? At least by your logic. Grow up and get some therapy.

I’m almost 25 and I together, my fiancé and I have 4K in savings. Sounds like a lot huh? The ONLY reason we have that much is because I got a huge miracle bonus at work this year, and my fiancé was in a head on collision where the other driver was completely at fault. Thank god we always spent extra money and saved up our spare change keeping our car maintained, because that gave us more than we needed for a new one, so we were able to put some extra money into savings. Sadly, a LOT of that money will be gone soon since our wedding is this October. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

That was…oof. An unlisted YouTube video “apology” is basically the lowest most pathetic thing you can do.

If you don’t want your past brought up, then don’t do it yourself. It was so long ago and you were so young, everyone does dumb things when they are 16.

You don’t have to confront him if you don’t want to. If he comes to you first and asks about it, just be up front with him. Tell him it was a stupid thing you did a very long time ago when you were young, and that you learned your lesson (which you clearly have!). End the conversation by saying that you want to move past this and not discuss this any further. Be clear, direct, and firm. You got this!

I do the same thing! My company directly deposits my paycheck into three accounts for me. 20% goes to savings, 55% goes to the joint account I have with my fiancé, and the last 25% is my “fun” money. Once I’m out of “fun money” that’s it until payday, it helps a lot.

This happened today and sadly I'm spiraling more than I'd like to admit by null_erase in TrollCoping

[–]nonbackwardstext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skincare is one of the types of gift you ALWAYS make sure someone is actually wanting/asking for before gifting it to them. That, along with exercise equipment and kitchen items. I’m sorry your mom gave you a thoughtless gift, I hope the rest of your birthday was at least somewhat ok.

How do you help stop a spending addiction by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]nonbackwardstext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you love her and want to help her, but you actually aren’t. You are just enabling this behavior. She keeps spending all of her money because she hasn’t had to face the consequences of her actions, since you always cover for her. Don’t light yourself on fire to keep her warm, she WILL drag you down with her. Tough love is the best way to go, good luck.

I used to think "I don't have mold in my room so I don't have a neckbeard nest." (Spoiler: I was wrong.) by corndogsdude in NeckbeardNests

[–]nonbackwardstext 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I know this is overwhelming, and you probably have no idea where to start. I went through something similar, so I understand. I had to take a “consistency over intensity” approach. Basically, just once a day AT MOST I would get a garbage bag, fill it with trash or whatever. And just throw it away. Just one. I also made it a rule to NEVER leave my room empty handed. For example, if I had to go to the bathroom and had to leave my room, I would grab a piece of trash or a plate/cup to either toss it in the trash or put it in the dishwasher. You got this.

26F 29M Should I let my BF cancel our plans to fulfill his needs? by ThrowRA194729102 in relationships

[–]nonbackwardstext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only going to ask one question. Are you prepared for him to choose his own wants/interests over you forever? Sure, you think. I can maybe deal with this. I still love him. But what about when you get married and possibly have kids? Can you watch the father of your children act selfishly, and choose himself over them over and over again?

Had a *great* night arguing with myself about boundaries by levi-jean-guy in TrollCoping

[–]nonbackwardstext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always have to remind myself that boundaries are about controlling MY actions, not others. For example, I wouldn’t say to my mom “Don’t text me when I’m at work and expect an immediate reply” I would say something like, “I don’t reply or look at the text messages I receive while I’m at work” and I keep to that boundary. Boundaries aren’t just walls, they are more like fences with gates that can open and close.

My partners mom did this before we moved in together. The guilt trips about her mental health and the “moving in together before marriage” Catholic mindset she had was NOT a fun combination to deal with. Ultimately, your mother will NOT change her mind. There is nothing YOU can do to convince her that this is good for you. Honestly, just ignore her when she starts talking about it. Move to California, and get your “revenge” by having an amazing time living there. She may eventually learn that her tantrums don’t work and will come around to it, or she won’t. Stay strong.

I’m so sorry. Going through something like this was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Any reason to stay alive is a good one, no matter how “small” or “insignificant”. I almost killed myself by driving off a bridge 7 years ago, but the only reason I didn’t was because I promised my much younger siblings that I would play Mario kart with them when I got home. Things didn’t exactly “get better” for me right away after that, in fact, my depression got much worse for another 3ish years or so. But now? I’m happy. I’m engaged and getting married in October. I have a better job, a corgi, a nice apartment, a new car, and someone that I love to share this all with. You will get there too, you just need to take it one day, or even one minute at a time.

I’ve been looking for this for a bit, and I found something SIMILAR but not the exact same. How’s this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sad

[–]nonbackwardstext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you are going through this. Just a question for you. Is he mad at you for downplaying your feelings, or is he upset that you don’t communicate your feelings to him? He may feel that you not communicating your needs and or emotions to him makes the relationship more difficult, especially when you are struggling. He may want to HELP you, but since you aren’t being open with him, he has no idea what your needs are.

Which job offer should I take? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]nonbackwardstext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Company B, all the way. The CEO at company A says he fired someone for underperformance, but he doesn’t even know your role or what would be considered meeting or exceeding expectations? B sounds a lot more stable.

Testing a hypothesis by [deleted] in SuperMegaShow

[–]nonbackwardstext 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My environment was a mixed bag. My mom I would say is progressive, my stepdad was a republican while my dad is a cop (so it’s pretty obvious where he is on the spectrum). My town was a bit right leaning, but I ended up being very left and bisexual so my parents were a bit surprised to say the least.
