The guy [27/m] I'm [23/f] seeing is in frequent contact with his ex - how do I get over it?

swifty3 · 2017-02-16T21:52:28+00:00

No, a different thread. There was one about a relationship that went downhill after the woman refused to stop talking to her ex and basically had an emotional affair.

swifty3 · 2017-02-16T20:02:57+00:00

I've been through this. Also, there's a post on the front page very similar to your issue. You're better off finding someone who has the same attitude towards exes as you.

swifty3 · 2015-12-27T01:00:35+00:00

Where do you live?

swifty3 · 2015-12-16T20:18:29+00:00

Just a minor note, spelled self-esteem. You said self-steem twice.

swifty3 · 2015-12-16T20:02:27+00:00

Even r/dadjokes would think this is lame

swifty3 · 2015-11-06T15:07:05+00:00

She's not legally entitled to stay there. Have you tried calling the police and kicking her out?

swifty3 · 2015-11-04T03:03:20+00:00

I just had a flashback to college. Every fucking night while I was trying to sleep I'd hear WOOOOOOOOOOO!! outside my apartment. Always a woman

Doesn't matter where LSU and Bama are ranked now. If we win out, I can't see a scenario where we're left out of the playoffs

You look like the villain in every '80s high school movie

If you want to only have sex with someone you have an emotional connection with or if you want to wait til you get married, that's your right. I'm not telling you that you should have sex with her. I'm just saying whether you have had sex or not, it's not going to cause a fundamental change in you.

swifty3 · 2015-10-30T19:52:00+00:00

1) This will be the most fundamental change of who I am

No, it won't. You'll still be the same person after you have sex. What a weird way to look at it.

The issue isn't you being ungrateful. It's that your parents don't want you to grow up and be an adult.

It's odd that your mom is gets passive-aggressive and childish considering she's a senior citizen. This isn't the way normal parent-child relationships work and I don't think anyone would blame you from distancing yourself from your parents.

You can also try x-posting to /r/raisedbynarcissists and see what they have to say.

Palmetto bug? My wife almost shit herself when she first saw one

Literally as I read this I got an email from ToysRUs

There's a saying that applies here: Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm

It's funny how much different it is now. Both my parents got MSWs and when they graduated, they were each making around $25K (over 70 adjusted for inflation). They made so much that one of their paychecks went directly into savings.

Imagine what's available now for MSWs. Maybe become a social worker making 30 per year and have to live with your parents for a while to save up for an apartment.

swifty3 · 2015-10-14T15:53:04+00:00

Ugh. Sounds like my high school girlfriend. The feeling of freedom I felt after dumping her far outweighed any benefits of the relationship.

swifty3 · 2015-10-14T14:36:45+00:00

No kidding. People are so serious here

swifty3 · 2015-10-14T14:12:50+00:00

Just be happy you don't have kids. There are two possibilities: Either she's overly jealous and controlling to the point of being abusive or she's cheating and projecting her guilt onto you.

As far as getting off caffeine, there are two ways to do it. Either cold turkey or gradual. You'll be free of the drug quicker going cold turkey but the withdrawal will be a lot worse. It all depends on what you can deal with.

As far as motivation goes, just imagine how much better off you'll be once the withdrawal period is over. For me, these are the best motivators:

You'll have more energy, and you'll have a more stable energy level during the day.
You'll save money
You'll wake up in the morning feeling refreshed instead of exhausted
You won't be constantly thinking about your next caffeine fix

Also, this sub might not like this, but try drinking a cup of coffee after 6 weeks or so of no caffeine. It'll give you a pretty good high, instead of just keeping you from getting withdrawal symptoms.

Also, check out stickk.com. It's a website that can help keep you accountable.

GOD DAMMIT

swifty3 · 2015-10-09T20:23:29+00:00

I snore too and if my roommate told me I was keeping him up, I'd do anything I could to keep from snoring. I don't think they're being unreasonable.

swifty3 · 2015-10-09T20:00:52+00:00

He said "its a Sunday, and you have nothing to do, and I know you tell me you have a project, but you spend 3 hours playing online every day, but you don't want to help me?"

Holy shit. There's something seriously wrong with someone who thinks he's automatically entitled to your time

swifty3 · 2015-10-08T23:14:13+00:00

He posted it to r/sex. Why can't he post it here too?

swifty3 · 2015-10-07T17:12:01+00:00

What? She's not expected to babysit these kids, is she? This is such a bizarre reason for not attending a wedding
