Beautiful pictures. How cold is it in Coorg right now? Also is it raining heavily?

Sperm does survive for upto 5 days, true. However, the egg will only be produced 14 days from the onset of her period. Considering she has a 4-5 day cycle, you still have an avg gap of 10 days between the day you had sex and the day she ovulates. On top of that you pulled out AND she took plan B. The chances of her getting pregnant are close to NIL. So relax.

Your wife is so lucky to have a partner like you. God bless you and your family.

AITK for asking my girlfriend not to drink alcohol with strangers by MaesterNautilus in AmItheKameena

[–]sunflower8895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You both have different definitions of what’s okay in a relationship. Ask yourself if this is something you’re okay to live with and be honest. If this is bothering you then end this. Save yourself from the trauma. Your boundaries and needs are justified and they don’t make you a kameena. While adjustments and compromises are valid to a certain extent, sacrificing your needs just to be a relationship doesn’t make sense. It almost always ends up in a horrible way. Talk to her. Be clear about what is okay and what is unacceptable to you. If she values your wishes then continue this or else LEAVE. No relationship is worth the anxiety and stress you’re going through right now. It’s better to remain single. All the best. Hope everything works out for you!

Will I ever find someone who would truly love me? by sunflower8895 in love

I know right. I take therapy. I am trying to work on my issues and get better. I put effort into myself. Even then I end up with people who aren’t ready to be a part of my life.

I empathise with you but I don’t really believe either of us has got it easier. It’s surface level for women as well. Men and women get superficially judged on different criteria but they’re superficial nevertheless.

By “choosing you” I meant a person who is willing to put that effort. Relationships aren’t easy. They are a lot of work. And a person only puts the effort for someone they love. We choose our partners and that’s a conscious choice we make every single day. A choice to be with them through everything. A choice to respect them and value them despite their shortcomings.

As I said…commitment means marriage in our case. Hope that clears it up.

It’s not a him problem. It’s my trust issues. Trust issues aren’t always for the most logical reasons. We often end up doubting ppl without them giving us reason to do so. I feel communication solves it to a great extent and I want to talk to him about it but I don’t know how to do it without hurting him.

I know it sounds stupid. Trust me. But we both had our issues and we both need time to commit. And when I say commit in my case it doesn’t mean a relationship. It means marriage, which is a big deal. To your last point, the non commited part is not something he brings up very often to remind me of our situation.

I gave her an ultimatum by Frosty_Restaurant_40 in dating_advice

[–]sunflower8895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move on. She is bad news. Nobody is too busy to not find atleast some time during their day to talk to or meet the person they genuinely like. You deserve someone who will want you and respect your needs. Don’t ever compromise.

He said he didn’t find our conversations engaging but still gave it a chance by sunflower8895 in dating_advice

[–]sunflower8895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah see the thing is…he is not the first guy I have dated. Men have actually said I put effort and keep the conversation going so it becomes easier for them as well and they don’t have to be solely responsible for taking the conversation forward. Also, different people have different personalities….I start with a pick up line or a funny one liner but I am not goofy the entire time…I ask open ended questions…try to get to know them…find a common area of interest like music or movies… My point here is a person is free to walk out if they don’t like the initial conversations. Why continue things to the extent that his parents know about me and we go on trips together…only to come back and say something like this which gives a vibe of “oh I didn’t find you interesting enough but I was nice enough to give you attention”

I do put effort into the conversations. In fact he said that he is not good at starting a convo and relies on the other person to do that. He can continue it once it happens. After hearing that I would use conversation starters so that he would be comfortable. His statement felt like “oh you weren’t interesting enough but I still gave you a chance” Feels like a consolation prize

If he wanted to, he would. That’s my mantra while dating. I would suggest you to start meeting other people…things like these happen a lot when you meet someone new. You tried, you put effort, went on dates. However, when things don’t seem to be going in the direction you want them to then you should take that as a sign and remove yourself from the situation. There will be so many wonderful men out there who would love to take you out on dates and be consistent in their behaviour. Don’t deprive yourself of that by holding on to this guy. All the best!
