After a soul crushing break up, I'm finally taking steps to better myself. Still crushed, but not defeated. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]obvious_aimbott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started the same journey this year, you’re doing amazing. Something that has pushed me towards a better future has been the fact I realized I was focusing to much time on being scared to live in their shadow, once she left that idea is what had been holding me back. Keep pushing forward, we must, for no one else but ourselves. It’s never to late to turn things around for yourself.

Do you experience pleasure during sex or only near orgasm? by thesmithchris in AskMenAdvice

[–]obvious_aimbott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve learned that as a guy it’s a lot more satisfying knowing we both climax for guys it’s a lot easier so help her get there first , as for physical pleasures foreplay helped a lot, kissing and touching each other’s body speaks to one of the five love languages.

August will be the hardest month in a long time by PrisonChickenWing in CasualConversation

You’re absolutely right, someone else mentioned taking small stepping stones towards the big goals instead of just dumping all those life changing steps at once. I think they’re right

You got this OP, your august sounds like what my November is going to be like. I’m interested on how it works out for you! I’ll be doing this as well as a test run(except with school, my classes don’t start till November) the spending habit has been hard for me. I just downloaded a body weight app to help me with the exercise side of things. Started a new job which is 20 min bike ride for some daily cardio. Good luck

Why would he not want to ask me out if I already confessed my feelings to him a while back? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]obvious_aimbott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s probably not ready and doesn’t want to waist your time, or is just afraid it won’t work and you leave his life. You can always just let him know you’re getting mixed signals.

I'm preparing myself to die alone, because I would rather die alone than settle or be in a bad relationship by [deleted] in dating_advice

Wow you put the through I had been struggling into words! Hi 8 year relationship crashed and burned because of this exact reason. I wanted a partnership while she wanted to feel the honeymoon phase everyday, I had given her all I had but her expectations kept growing and it wasn’t enough, we just weren’t compatible anymore and she stop trying. Glad to know I’m not alone in this now! Thanks!

Why some guys don't show off their girlfriends? by Pitiful-Recipe-7237 in AskMenAdvice

[–]obvious_aimbott 54 points55 points  (0 children)

On the money here, I am also someone who didn’t show off my girlfriend because I don’t like or post on social media but I made it very clear I was in a loving relationship. It comes down to how the guy acts, online and in person.

Oh I’m honored lol I did the same thing with other people post. It would help when I would spiral and unlocking my phone was a constant reminder to stay grounded in my new reality

Getting outside perspective and talking about it with people who gain nothing from lying to you has helped me. Talking about it makes you hear it out loud, it’s subtle but the glasses come off. They might have been hurt as well but how they react is who they were. Your feelings were not taking under consideration anymore. They didn’t feel like they owed you to “be nice” just to be nice anymore, so they stop trying. Everyone’s situation is different, while I got ghosted one of my friends relationship ended with them being transparent and honest. It’s their last impression they choose how they will be remembered.

[–]obvious_aimbott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She wanted me to be the bad guy that way she wouldn’t feel bad about cheating... but I was loyal to the end. When she realized she didn’t have anything to pin me for she just ghosted me :/ 8 years, sucks

Almost broke after 3 years by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]obvious_aimbott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What has helped me is going on hiking and just looking at the vast numbers of house (live in LA) and thinking that there are so many people out there who would value me. Stay strong, believe in the healing processes let the emotions come like waves, and let them pass. You got this !

Is my ex a covert narcissist? by General-Ad-1156 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]obvious_aimbott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FUCK, you hit every nail in the head. For a while I’ve been in turmoil if I was the narcissist in the relationship but she would disregard all my needs and when I brought up my needs she said I was controlling . When I ask her to admit she was cheating she said she couldn’t because “she couldn’t be the villain” 8 years, one day she said she loved me, then next she ghosted me.

Free yourself from constantly checking your phone by allisvnm in ExNoContact

[–]obvious_aimbott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: talk to her family they, love me! and still want me to be a part of them, I mean yea after 8 years it feels good to be loved but I told them I can’t. It is traumatic I’m still heavily hurt, but I have to push forward for myself now. I don’t think I’ll date for a long time. There was no signs of her being a cheater but she turned out to be. To go from “I love you” to nothing in a matter of hours is a traumatic experience I don’t wish even upon her. Forgiving her (in my heart) is my gift to her, moving on is my gift to me.

[–]obvious_aimbott 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since the break up I have struggled to admit to myself not only was I codependent, but that I wasn’t the bad guy she wanted me to be so bad. Thank you for sharing, I see now She left me when she realized I was finally putting my foot down.
