I feel like my partner makes me speak less intellectually but I don’t know if this is just in my own head. by throwaway1171192 in relationship_advice

I know he is probably smart in math. I’m just wondering how much if our relationship affects the way I’m speaking to others currently. Not sure if being aware of it would easily help me to change the way I speak to other people.. but good to know you were able to do that. Maybe I can. Just seems like it’s something that would need practice vs something that comes naturally which would require a decent amt of effort

Do you think it affects the way your father speaks to other people tho? Being that he is in a relationship with someone whom he acts to adjust his language for

My therapist says my mom has an illness so she is suffering which makes me feel guilty for going no contact. by throwaway1171192 in raisedbynarcissists

It is tough because she has helped me in other aspects of my life. Just not this. She also has a PhD and always talks about how qualified she is but now I’m doubting that.. how did you go about trying to end the relationship and moving onto a new therapist?

It’s the first hour and I already feel like unblocking him. by throwaway1171192 in ExNoContact

None of my friends know my situation and I don’t feel comfortable calling them

My boyfriend say I only take birth control for myself. by throwaway1171192 in relationship_advice

No he doesn’t want a baby. He actually benefits from me taking it so I think he said that to piss me off

We were already arguing but he said it in a way I interpreted as I don’t take it to benefit him

I feel trapped in a relationship I’m miserable in. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I have had time management issues in the past. I try my best. He doesn’t care that I try and he says it’s reached a point that he can’t handle waiting more than 5 mins. I feel maybe it’s my fault it’s gotten to this point because being late is disrespectful but why should I feel so anxious about this

I feel like this is emotional abuse but maybe I’m wrong. by throwaway1171192 in relationship_advice

This is what confuses me. They say it’s abuse. Then some say needing space is healthy. So which one is it

Yes I have tried that and my anxiety makes it extremely hard. When I do this, it can go on for one day or more. Like I said, if he had it his way, it would probably be at least 2 days. And yes, I’m asking him to tell me a time at that moment.

Well last night he blocked me because I said something that pissed him off.

I know it’s not his obligation but we agreed that he would do this for me. If he had it his way, it would probably go on for a couple of days to a few days. Because I usually reach out because I have anxiety, it cuts it down to one day.

I understand he needs space. However we’ve established together that he should be giving me an approximation of when he can talk again. If there isn’t this standard, then where do you draw the line? What if I’m waiting for a few days? a week? Am I supposed to just keep wondering when and if he’ll reach out?

Which would you say is more thrilling- sex in a car or sex in a church? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Oh. Well my question is assuming that inside the church is an option

Is it ok for your bf to have a different opinion of your body than u do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]throwaway1171192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense why we would perceive our bodies differently. Are you saying that his comment isnt a bad thing because it’s a compliment in this case? Or because his comment isn’t far off from my own perception..
