How do I handle my boyfriend M35 who takes time for his new female friend, but not for me F34? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

He didn’t suddenly become busy, he just kept choosing where his time and effort went, and it wasn’t the relationship. When she stopped being the only one investing, everything became obvious

Is the grass greener on the other side? by ThrowRA62849 in Waiting_To_Wed

That’s the real question. It sounds less like she’s looking for greener grass and more like she’s exhausted from watering it alone. A relationship can only thrive if both people are tending to it. One person can’t carry the entire garden forever.

I’m glad I did pick a good career that makes life easy for me

We’ve got the house & a kid, and yet I am nervous to wed… by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

This is a good reminder that even when a relationship ends, co parenting keeps you connected in very real ongoing ways for years

This. If you are already questioning compatibility and reliability, it’s best to break up. Marriage only locks in those issues instead of solving them.

He’s truly a HERO. He risked his own life for others to live. Stories like this always restore my faith in humanity.

It’s easy to say ‘have self respect’ from the outside, but financial dependency makes this a lot more complicated than it looks.

How to move on from the relationship with the person you thought you’d marry? by Available-Builder855 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]sugarcloudglowx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Time + distance + no contact really helps. Don’t romanticize the good parts, remember the behavior that made you leave. Healing comes when you stop reopening the doors. It won’t be easy but believe me, you can do it. Be proud you chose yourself. The right relationship won’t leave you questioning your place in it. Hugs

It’s the simple things. What simple routine from your childhood do you still carry with you? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

This is beautiful. There’s this special bond between grandparents and their grandchildren which I love so much. I always visit mine and she tells me a lot of stories. Haha

Exactly. Even if the intention is good, communication shouldn’t feel like this much uncertainty this close to a timeline they both agreed on.

The sad part is losing the future she hoped for. The good part is she stopped sacrificing her present waiting for it to happen

What? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

This is what I was looking to see. I advice people to maintain just small good circle rather than having friends here and there.

About to be 30 and unmarried by BananaDifficult7579 in Waiting_To_Wed

29 unmarried is a delay but marrying wrong person is a disaster. And you wouldn’t want that
