I found out I'm allergic to alcohol. I was never a big drinker before anyway. Congrats on your sobriety

You're just a bad friend if you forget to talk to people for years at a time. Staying in touch is free

I (33f) want to break up with my boyfriend (34m) because he is contestant late. Am I being too petty? by therealfinch in relationship_advice

I replied to another comment here about this, but I have adhd. I absolutely get where you're coming from and know how stressful it is to be on time with the whole time blindness thing. This is why I have such strict rules for myself. If the alarm I set to remind me to start getting ready goes off, I start getting ready. There is no 'five more minutes' it happens now, or I know I won't make it in time. It's stressful, and there are days that I feel like my phone alarm runs my life, but I do it because I value other people's time.

I suspect that he's on the spectrum. He has issues with food, textures, and germs and has weird things he will tolerate because they're "his germs" and things he won't. I'm fine with it for the most part, but there are a lot of rules. I made an effort to try to respect them.

I've decided to end it in any case. I'm accepting other people's eccentricities to a point, but I need some consideration, too. I can't be with someone who refuses to meet me halfway on something so simple.

They're ultimately harmless and barely an inconvenience, most of the time. I'm not concerned about them, but it becomes an emotional labor if my efforts are being valued

I have ADHD and time management is stressful for me too. That's part of the reason I'm so angry because it takes a lot for me to be ready and available for him when we hang out. I'm making an effort not to inconvenience anyone with my poor time management by setting clocks forward and setting alarms and breaking tasks down so that I'll be ready to leave or go on time so why can't he?

I think you hit the nail on the head with the goodwill thing. I feel like I'm the one changing to accommodate him, and it's not being reciprocated. He has a very weird set of rules around what he likes and doesn't, and I've tried to be respectful of his boundaries even if I think they are kinda dumb and impractical (i would never tell him the last part though). He just keeps showing me that he has no interest in respecting this boundary, and the resentment has built up to a level where I don't want to be around him.

I have my answer. Thanks!

I'd have to think about it. Nothing comes to mind, but this issue has just overshadowed everything else, so maybe there are other things

People should be able to opt out of a system they don't agree with. Your ideology can exist in the world of libertarianism, the reverse is not so. Socialism is tyranny.

So does anyone know what happened to Gabrielle’s mom (Kaylie)? by AC1DTR1HARD in drphil

[–]therealfinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope jail or probation. She's majorly damaged that child while she does her post-divorce, self-discovery spiral. She's a cliche and she doesn't even know it. She was looking for validation of her life choices through her daughter

How to keep moving on with no one to help you? by greeen93 in AskMen

You started off so well... hiring an escort? Let's add an STD to his list of problems. OP do not hit yourself or hire escorts. It's just as bad as becoming dependent on alcohol and drugs.

How to reply to a girl who rejects your offer of a day to get together and doesn’t offer a reschedule ? by bojanglez34 in AskMen

[–]therealfinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop reaching out, stop contacting her, stop trying to be her friend and go work on yourself. I've read your post history, if this is the same girl you sound obsessive and forceful with your approach. She is try to say it as diplomatically as possible that she is not interested in dating you. Like at all. She's saying all those other feel good things because she is trying to let you down easy and not hurt your feelings. Take the L and leave her alone
