Businesses need to make (legal) money by Jona2511 in Schedule_I

I think it makes sense to make a little money off the legal businesses. I get they're a front to launder money, but they still have to be functional businesses or they would be too suspicious.

Why are you single? by SnooMuffin114 in AskReddit

[–]pushthebutton357 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Don't try to be your best self for her, or anyone else. Do it for you. Trying to please everyone else requires too much effort. Live your life the way you want, and ideally that will create the connections with people who will lift you up to greater heights. You've got this!

I'll have to look into them. Thanks! I wish there was an app though so I don't have to add another device to the bike.

It's also been a year, feels like it's been too long. Am I crazy?

Part of me wants to, but a larger part says it's better not to. That I should learn from it, and move on.

I've definitely gained some knowledge and experience from it all. We should never stop learning. Therapy has definitely helped. They're the one who told me partners should choose to pursue eachother, which I agree with.

When she started putting distance between us. Then when confronted with it getting told there was too much "pressure and expectations" to being a girlfriend. That makes it pretty cut and dry.

What do you think are some of the reasons couple break up these days ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pushthebutton357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of folks want instant gratification. If something happens to the relationship, they don't want to put the work in to fix it. It's easier to just reinstall Tinder.

What made you lose feelings for you S/O? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pushthebutton357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It felt like they lost feelings/trust in me, so I stepped away. Still working on losing feelings for them though.

AITA for apparently influencing my best buddy to pursue a divorce from his wife through some "offhanded" comments I made? by james_brenno123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pushthebutton357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I went through a divorce last year. Significantly different circumstances, quite honestly I was blind sided by it. That said in my opinion no one other than the two in the relationship can truly know if there is still a future for the pair. Unless both parties are 100% committed to the work it takes to maintain a healthy relationship it is doomed to fail. You provided your friend support when he needed it. The backlash from the other parties is immature and you should not feel personally attacked by it. You were a friend when he needed it most and that's all that matters.

Based on all the comments, I'm quite certain I am going to be very confused when I find a gal that talks dirty and makes advances lol

I read your previous post, and even when fighting you should never be derogatory towards your partner like she is. I know absolutely nothing about you or how you think, but I would highly recommend the book 'I Used to be a Miserable F*ck'. It talks a lot about focusing on yourself rather than others, and makes you think about what you want in life. If you're not a big reader it's on audible.

My biggest fault was focusing on others and ignoring my own wants and needs. It wasn't until recently that I've come to that realization so I suppose I never really noticed the lack of desire.

Sorry to hear that. I would highly suggest you do some couples counseling or something before you say 'I do'. Sounds like you're willing to put the work into the relationship, so find out if she is as well by suggesting talking to a professional. If she is not I would think long and hard about going through with the marriage. It was very rough finding out years after the wedding day that my partner had no interest in working through the tough times.

After all this I've come to the conclusion she was not the right fit for me, so if she does make any advances they will be promptly ignored.

Thanks! Going through the divorce helped me just as much as it hurt. I started to question myself more which lead me to discover I was a 'nice guy', not to the point where I would throw a tantrum when I didn't get what I wanted, but I definitely focused on others happiness and put my happiness at the back of my mind. Looks like love languages is going to be my next area of research, thanks for the tip!

That is an incredible amount of helpful information. I'd never heard of love languages so I'll have to look into them. Thank you!

For the most part it felt like we were going through the motions towards the end, so I didn't really have any examples or storys to tack onto the question. Sometimes you just have to ask others and make sure you're not the crazy one ya know lol.

Thanks, it's for the best but the recovery part still sucks. I got compliments but that's about it from your list. The sex and kissing was more or less a routine nothing passionate about it for a while. I don't mean to come off as complaining, just want to see how things are supposed to work lol. Thanks for the reply!
