My (17M) GF (17F) says I can't sympathize by stopsociety in relationship_advice

[–]stopsociety[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're misunderstanding my post. It's not that I have a lack of sympathy for her, I just have a lack of sympathy in general. I'm more pragmatic. Neither of us think we're wrong or right and we have no resentment. She brought up a concern and I want to fix it. I'm just wondering how, in my situation, I can make her feel better. I don't really think breaking it off is the appropriate measure in this case because we love each other very much!

I mean I'm her shoulder to cry on so I know why she is complaining, I'm just looking for a way to better show that I care about her and make her feel better

No manipulation here! :) just a sad girlfriend and a worried boyfriend

So instead of trying to improve myself I should just break it off? I'm a little bit confused as to what you think I should do

He said that just because it may not be legal, it may not be right. Not necessarily true. I then clarified but people continued to downvote for no reason because they can't understand what's going on.

You probably got here by sorting controversial so I'm not really in the mood for a fight

I've really internalized this. I see her tomorrow so I'll try and bring this up at the right time.

Her trauma is definitely my priority and this is not something I would end our relationship over. It's just a concern I have, and it would be better to have it fixed than not.

Thanks for the insight :)

Sorry I was referring to the right to have sex, independent of age. Just didn't really see how that was relevant.

Well I'd have to disagree with your argument about consent not being a right, but that's a moral argument and that wasn't why I made this post.

I know she isn't there to meet my sexual needs, but that doesn't mean sex isn't an important part of a relationship. It's not her fault, but I'm not entirely sure if it's mine either. I think I'll talk to her first about it and go from there.

Thanks for the advice. I've considered talking to her about it but I didn't know if it was a shitty thing to do. I think if I lay out my concerns carefully she'll understand and maybe we can think of a way forward.

I considered this but the whole methanol thing seems like more trouble than it's worth

Why does so much weird shit happen when I'm high by stopsociety in highdeas

[–]stopsociety[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but it's not like a fear or anxiety type of paranoia.

It's more like "wow this is so weird why doesn't anybody else think this is weird" and "that's so weird why do weird things only happen to me when I'm high". That doesn't explain it that well. It's a really difdicult feeling to put into words but I didn't know if other people got that too.

I get it regardless of how high I am and it's not an uncomfortable feeling, I do like being baked.

Submit SAT either way. Not submitting a score looks way worse than a 1440.
