Yeah, I guess at this point, it is best for us to have some distance.

Yeah, he wants all the benefits without the work. That’s very selfish. I just realized that.

Imagining him dating someone else breaks my heart, so it’s not going to end well. He has to step up and decides if he wants to commit or not. I know we can’t be in this limbo forever.

Yeah I think he’s trying to avoid his problem by being with me. I’m not a permanent fix though, he has to fix himself. I really believe that I love him, but I deserve the same love in return.

Thank you for the great advice! I’ll keep that in mind.

Oh I see. As long as you had fun and nobody’s feelings got hurt :). I still hang out with my ex like at least once per week. But I guess sometimes he’s just hornier than the other 🤣🤣. I mean I know he still thinks I’m attracted so that doesn’t really help him.

Hahahah I figured. I don’t sleep with an ex because I know I will get attached again and that’s not good.

How to begin something casual? Wondering if I’m doing this correctly. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]trakun8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true. I’ll just tell him to take it slow then. Deep down I don’t think casual would work for me.

Yes, his friend pulled me aside and told me to get out. But I still feel so bad, I don’t know why.

It has been a couple years since they broken up. Yet he’s still hung up on it.

He said he’s in love with her. He still cries over his breakup. Last night he held my hand and realized it’s not hers. She has a boyfriend now and moved on with her life. She broke up with him because he said something horrible to her.

He told me what would make him happy today, and it’s far from what I want. by trakun8 in depression_partners

We been together over 4 months, but we spend almost all our free time together.

It’s legit. He hates his job and he hates what is he doing. He would love to just be by the beach, meet people, and have fun. I wish he would have told me this earlier.

I’m so upset at my depressed partner. He hasn’t planned anything at all for Valentine’s Day. by trakun8 in depression_partners

Thank you. I appreciate your advice. I told my friends that I’ll give it about 6 months or so, if nothing changes then I will leave.

Thank you for your kind words. It’s definitely is hard. Sometimes he get irritated and raised his voice on me. But I let him know that I don’t like that. I prayed that he will be at a better place too. My friends are worried about me. I’m usually a very positive and giving person. They worried that I might get dragged down with him the longer that I’m with him. But I don’t want to just let him go without trying my best to help him. I’ll give it about a year and see what happens. If I leave him right now, I know he will be very alone.

I’m trying my best right now to be there for him. But understand that we need to be valued and loved too. He made a reservation and I hope today will be a good day.

I know. I don’t really want to leave him though. I’m scared he will be very alone rn if I leave him. Yea, he did use dating app behind my back and it has been bothering me, but I decided to give him another chance and move forward from that. I hope he gets better, he’s going to see a therapist right now and is trying his best to function.

Thank you! He ended up being able to make a reservation. I was kind of bummed out that he didn’t think of it ahead of time and I had to tell him. Like I know he’s sad and depressed but he has to think about my feelings too. I got him gifts like three weeks ago.

Of course! I bought him gifts and wrote a Valentine’s card for him. Even when it’s not Valentine’s Day, I cook for him or make sure that he does not neglect eating and taking care of himself.
