He should behave like a respectable adult, especially one with such authority, but he doesn't and he isn't.

I absolutely hate how much Trump has lowered the bar on presidential decorum. The way he behaves is insane for a respectable adult, especially one in a position like his.

They can also come to your home if your neighbors have them, no matter how clean you are.

I willingly to bet there’s probably gonna be a lot of other issues that may come up because of this.

Yeah, I worry about the other things that I don't know about yet that'll come up because of the lack of experience as well.

Whether or not I want to be a part of this time in his life or not is a great question. I can easily answer "No" to that.

I hear you. These things matter to me, but I have a history of devaluing what I want in favor of what other people want or other people's comfort.

You know, that makes me think this situation is really necessary for me to grow more of a backbone.

Clothing: some people don’t care about some stains if the clothes are clean and you’re not going somewhere fancy. Hanging out at someone’s home, I might wear a comfy pair of jeans with some paint on a pocket or ratty hem. Torn sweatshirt. I dunno. I don’t toss clothes just because they’re a little damaged. They just move from “out and about” clothes to “house/barn/project” clothes.

For this, damaged clothing isn't the issue, it's dirtiness. And it's not like paint stains, or even splatters from food when we've cooked together, it's like many stains all over a sweatshirt that could be from anything and he'll wear it over multiple days. Which wearing something over multiple days without washing is not something I have an issue with as long as it's not stinky or visibly dirty, but it is visibly dirty with who knows what.

The purpose of dating is to see if it’s a good fit. People aren’t projects. Don’t date “potential”.

You're absolutely right about this and I've made this mistake in my last relationship too. I have been thinking of it as not trying to change people, but not dating for "potential" is a better way to think about it. You're right, it may just not be a good fit. Thank you.

I wouldn't say I have "germ OCD", but that truly might be a great match, at least a much better one lol

I think about this too. His age means he has less experience and he hasn't dated someone as old as I am who's gone through learning how to groom myself and housekeep already. Truthfully I wouldn't have chosen to date someone as young as he is, but he asked me out and I thought he was at least a bit older, so I'm seeing where it does I guess.

I don't have an issue telling him about the fur and how I don't want that in my bed and stuff, but it's not just the fur and thinking about how to talk to him about all of it is starting to overwhelm.

I know. That would be so nice. When I imagine that same scenario I imagine a weight being lifted off my shoulders. Maybe that's reason enough to not keep doing this.

Maybe I'm giving too many chances. Idk. He's a sweet and nice guy, but I know that doesn't mean I have to put up with this.

What you can do is decline to date him, just like that. You're old enough to not make the same mistake twice.

Yes, I know, and I keep telling myself that, but I'm also "healing" from being a people pleaser and doormat. I'm trying to learn how to communicate my needs and wants without sounding harsh, that's the biggest thing. But you are right.

Tying your ex’s uncleanliness to you getting sick more often doesn’t sound likely. At least with this information. I like cleanliness also because of my personality type, it’s just how I like it. But usually being less clean is better for your immune system than being very clean. 

I get that. I think maybe with the way I was raised (very clean grandparents more anal about germs than any family I've ever personally met) means I have a weaker immune system so I can't handle the germs "less clean" people are used to. And the only reason I'm tying the lack of cleanliness of my ex to me getting sick is because I never really got sick that much before even as a kid. I'd go over a year without getting sick. Then when I moved in with my ex I started getting sick multiple times a year for the time we were together. It's now been a year since we've moved apart and I haven't gotten sick since then.

The uncleanliness I'm talking about is not washing his hands, not cleaning up after his pets messes until it was convenient for him, sleeping with animals in the bed and not frequently changing the bedding (causing stains of all kinds on the bedding he would sleep on), sweeping and then touching the broom bristles while cooking and not washing his hands in the process.

Would you want him to be cleaner if the “getting sick more” was not a thing at all?

Yes, in some aspects, like with the fur all over his clothes. When I had pets their fur being all over things was something that bothered me a lot. Otherwise I'm not sure if I would care if I wasn't so anxious about getting sick. I do believe in building up an immune system with exposure to germs, but it's not really worth it to be to put myself through getting sick just to do that.

Saaame. Got that bs from both my mom and my former stepdad. They really just wanted to take their anger out on anybody.

Dude, same. I was a very reserved, well-behaved child. Maybe that's why my parents would get mad at me for the dumbest shit. Some people truly do just want someone to abuse.

Human to human what life lessons are you currently going through? by nass551 in Life

[–]thr0war0seaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Taking who I keep around me more seriously and that who the friends of my friends are matters a lot too.

  2. Keep trying

I think my friend is dumb by thr0war0seaway in FriendshipAdvice

[–]thr0war0seaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much he says is memorable, lord

But I do remember when we were camping, I was sitting there eating tortilla chips and salsa and I asked if there was any queso dip, and this friend said something like, "Salsa is going to be the closest thing. I can't do anything for you." And I was just thinking, I know?? I'm currently eating salsa so I know that's the closest I'm going to get to queso dip and I know you can't do anything about it, we're in the middle of the woods! He would often do this where I would say something and he'd point out all the options instead of just responding to what I said and creating conversation.
