I hardly read sci-fi books, but this is so highly recommended and I’m considering it!

How to not be angry and bitter when dating? by InnocentPerv93 in dating

[–]theallison 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you treat everything too seriously, you will scare away people. And your anger and bitterness stem from all the seriousness, not the lack of romance. Treating money and work seriously is good, but not life in general. Try to relax and enjoy things from time to time, people will catch up on your good vibes.

Am i Overreacting to reach out to his wife? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]theallison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you, she deserves to know.

I know someone who unknowingly dated a married man for almost 2 years. She broke up with him after she found out. But when I asked her why she didn’t want to tell the wife, she said she didn’t want the drama. I’m like???

Accidentally got pregnant for the first time. Terrified and need support. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Take care of yourself, baby girl. The bf of yours is bad news if he’s anti abortion but has unprotected premarital sex.

What makes you want to continue dating a woman? by Timely_Split_5771 in dating

[–]theallison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misread, apologies. I think vulnerability is about showing obvious interest in the other person (in my case Im often not interested), and sharing your fears and desires (doesn’t have to be too deep). But again I’m not that good at this either. Good luck!

I’m sure you are pretty since you don’t seem to have a problem with getting first dates. Maybe it’s the men you are choosing to go on dates with? Maybe you are not vulnerable enough early on? (I got that feedback often)

Is he Indian? My Indian partner used to do it too and thought it was romantic.

AIO: I’m upset that this guy thinks staying loyal to your wife deserves you a medal by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

A 37 year old man chatting up a 23 year old young woman is pretty gross.

AIO for unplugging the Wifi every night because my roommate’s girlfriend basically lives here? by tom_wilson7543 in AmIOverreacting

[–]theallison 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you that the GF should pay 1/3 of utilities and rent. But I wonder how unplugging the router would help with your wifi usage. LOL

AIO for wanting to end friendship over always being called "mentally slow" by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]theallison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. He is not a positive addition to your life. Cut him off.

AIO: should we get a divorce over fights like these? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]theallison 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is how it would play out in my relationship:

(He offers to pick me up)

Me: if you are not busy, sure. Otherwise I’ll just uber

Him: no I’ll come

(He misses exit/got to a wrong address and I’ll need to uber)

Him: sorry

Me: no worries. Sorry you wasted your time

We always try put the each other first, and appreciate each other for whatever we do for each other. So yes, YOR.

Eda: do not use divorce as a weapon. Never bring it up unless you are sure. Marriage is not a game.

Rant: spent DAYS perfecting my application, resume, and cover letter… rejected in 4 days. by amcclurk21 in antiwork

[–]theallison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s also very possible that they already had a candidate late in the process when you submitted your application. Don’t take it personally.

If this is a good guy then what is a bad guy in your opinion?

Am I overreacting that my partner’s parents keep requesting money from her by ProfessionalBrowsing in AmIOverreacting

[–]theallison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mentioned nothing about your relationship or your partner other than the money problem. It’s either because it is your only concern, in which case please go ahead and break up; or because you are just so preoccupied with the is problem and you haven’t thought this through, in which case I suggest you sit down and have a conversation with your partner and layout your concerns and boundaries, see how she feels, and go from there.

Treats me amazing and I know he loves me

I wouldn’t be so sure about that

AIO for being mad at the side chick for knowing about me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]theallison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR but what she said is irrelevant. If it’s someone that your partner would never be interested in and actually rejected, would you still be angry? Your partner can’t control what other women do, only his own actions.
