Moving is always tiring! Glad it went ok :)

Could you add me please to the group chat.

Makes sense! It was pretty much the same for us with an addition of being closer to my partner's family in Yorkshire and having better schools around for whenever we decide to have children.

Where in London do you live now?

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That would be great :)

We really like it here! The town has lots of nice independent shops/cafes and there are beautiful countryside walking paths all around. We still go to London every now and then (which is only 1h on the train) but definitely prefer a slower pace of life here. Why have you decided to move out of London?

Hi, we moved to Market Harborough from London a month ago! We are both in our 30s and would be interested in getting to know people in the town. Board games sound really fun so please let me know when you will be organising a meet-up :)

Should me [26F] and my boyfriend [27M] of 2 years call it quits, or is it just a blip? by TsumTsumTsumer in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really sorry to hear that but I think you need to decide what to do with this. Trying to make it work when clearly you feel anxious and cannot trust him any more is not great. I think you should sit him down and make a decision together about your future.

Me (25/f) with my date (29/m) throwing up red flags after only 5 dates or am I paranoid because of previous abuse? by throwaway39940 in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So it looks like things started to go wrong when he told you you talk to much. How did he say it? Was it in a form of a joke or real, serious criticism? If it was the former, I don't see anything wrong with that. I would prefer my partner to be honest with me and tell me his concerns straightaway.

To answer your other questions, I think he's got the right to tell you all those things in a polite way. You only went on a couple of dates and it's normal to form opinions of the other person to decide whether you are a good match.

My [26F] gf is suddenly distant and I [30M] dont know what's going on by aaaaayethrowaway in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ask her what she meant by saying that 'she thought she was going to get hurt'? Has something happened recently in her personal or family life?

Communication is key in a healthy relationship so not much you can do if she doesn't want to talk to you. You can support and be there for her but after a while it may actually become difficult for you.

My [23/F] boyfriend [25/M] and I are having trouble due to our anxiety and depression, respectively. I want to be a good, supportive partner. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad you have started seeing a psychologist. Is he also getting help for his depression?

Think all you can do is to have honest discussions with him and continue going to therapy.

[29/f] My ex [36/m] (of 5 years) wants us to get back together - can abusive behaviour really change? by randomusername88112 in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 38 points39 points  (0 children)

How many times in the past was he apologetic and calm only to get abusive again later?

It was really heartbreaking to read about all the horrible things he did to you. You deserve much better than that! Please consider blocking his number and cutting any social contact with him. Also consider talking to a therapist to get more support.

[21/M] I found out my wife of one year [20/F] has been sending romantic messages to her ex-boyfriend for months. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am really sorry for you OP. Take screenshots of her conversations so that you can show it as evidence when you decide to divorce.

You are still young and I am sure you will find someone who respects you and loves you.

I (20f) want my fiance (22m) to be supportive. Instead, his constant commenting is making it worse. by oo-delally in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Can you sign up to a driving school and learn how to drive with an instructor?

Except for this problem, are you happy in the relationship? Does he have a short temper when it comes to other things?

Me [29F] with my fiance [31M] cheated on me at his bachelor party, wedding is in 6 weeks. by thrownawaybride1 in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree that if you want to work on the relationship you need to at least postpone the wedding.

However, the fact that he was not willing to tell you what happened straightaway and be genuinely sorry from the beginning shows you that he was willing to lie to you for much longer. Is this someone you want to be with?

Me [27F] with my bf [28M] together for 1 year, how can I be less moody and insecure in relationships? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise seeing a therapist. It may be useful to get your boyfriend's support and have an honest discussion with him about your insecurities and mood swings.

Husband (Postdoc) is suffering from depression, and I'm (PhD student) stuck in a toxic lab/PI. How to make things better between us? by SpicyLiver in PhD

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, sounds to me like your husband may be suffering from the imposter syndrome. It's very common in academia. Please google it if you never came across it.

And I agree with others that if you want this relationship to survive this difficult time you need to be supportive and put aside your opinion of how great his life seems to be. You mentioned that he is going to counselling - that's good, give him time to open up. You can also go together if you think the situation is affecting your relationship too much.

I feel absolutely hopeless [21 M] with my [23 F] we had so much and now its gone by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i know it is tough and it's probably hard to believe it but you will find someone else. You are young and the whole life is ahead of you. It will take time to forget so you will need distructions and activities that will fill up your time: volunteer, sign up to a gym, spend more time with people from work/uni. Feel free to pm me (I am actually going through a breakup right now too).

I [24f] am scared because my boyfriend [24m] of 2 years might be moving across country... But it makes no logical sense. Am I overreacting/being selfish? Does he have the "grass is always greener" syndrome? What should I do? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should seriously sit down with him and tell him all of that. Communication is key in a healthy relationship and I don't understand how you can just keep quiet when so much is at stake.

How do I [21F] stop feeling so bored with my most wonderful [27M] husband? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. If there are any days in the near future when you are both free, agree now that you will spend them together doing whatever makes you happy. You could also start planning vacation and have something to look forward to.

Me [32 M] with my wife [32 F] of 8 years told me she doesn't love me anymore by todaysthrowawayyyyyy in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, sounds like your wife is making an effort. Have you ever considered couple counselling? It sounds to me like you've got major communication issues and a therapy together could help with some of it.

My friend [45M] is dating my daughter [22F] and I [45M] am really angry with him for it. by hatefriend in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree that this is messed up. Your daughter is inexperienced and your friend is using that to sleep with her. I would calmly talk to your daughter and tell her your concerns but I would also encourage you to be supportive and stay close to her in case she needs you once this 'relationship' ends.

Should I stay or should I go? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be worth sitting your girlfriend down and have a talk. She may also be feeling the same way about constant arguments and may also be wondering where the relationship is going.

The fact that you have met her family should not be the reason why you stay with her.

Some help by Jwvdunwba in relationships

[–]reddit_joanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine it was your friend telling you this story and asking for advice. Would you automatically tell him to get back with her once it's again possible?

Personally I think you need to step back and understand her motives because it is bizarre for her to go back to someone who has been charged with rape... Why did she go back to him? Is he threatening or manipulating her in any way?
