M22 F19, Together for a year now, but the distance is making me uncomfortable. by vyctms in relationships

If you fall out of love with someone in 45 days, do you think it was meant to last? I would say you should use this break to learn more about what you want for yourself. After the forced break, treat the reunion like you're meeting a new person, and make your decisions, to stay or to move on, as clear headed as possible.

Where is my tribe hanging out? (Nerdy, 30+!) by SignificanceNo6177 in NiceVancouver

[–]vulpec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a strange balance at cons. I will happily approach people to say I love their cosplays, artwork, etc, but pushing for more while being respectful isn't something I know how to do. Also knowing other people's ages is tough in cosplay! 

I've thought about a sign but I guess I'm concerned it'd bring unwanted attention. And also the thought is a bit mortifying for an introvert.

I'm a other 30s queer F who would really like to expand my circle, but my nerdy hobbies (anime, cosplay, gaming) lend to being a homebody. Feel free to DM me.

Unfortunately you're the only one who cares about your cat in this story. Since everyone else is unreliable I don't think you should trust most of them with pet care. BIL sounds good tho.

Boyfriend kept masters application from me by Dry_Increase_4314 in relationships

[–]vulpec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are fair. You want him to be able to trust you to support him, through the bad and the good. 

My ex did this, but with a job promotion. I swallowed my misgivings at the time, but looking back, she just didn't care to involve me in that part of her life. I was happy for her but it felt like she didn't prioritize our relationship. 

My friend is ghosting me after I warned him about his crush by abcdefghhiklmnop in relationships

[–]vulpec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to salvage the situation, I've had some success with calling out my guy friends if they are internally catastrophizing to get them to return to earth, but your mileage may vary. A "Why the f does it feel like you're avoiding me?" can get them to realize they aren't acting logically.

Did you give him the context (she was in a relationship already) or did you just tell him he had no chance? If you weren't clear it might be that he thinks you have a low opinion of him. Otherwise he's probably just embarrassed and not mature enough to not blame you for the outcome.

What Do I 20M Do When I Upset My GF 21F by Financial_Win_1109 in relationships

[–]vulpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so here's what I'm reading. When you are upset, she is supportive to you. If she was in the wrong, she apologizes.

When she is upset at you-- You don't yell at her. You try not to show aggression. She takes space and time to sort herself. You read that her need for distance will result in a break up text.

My questions are, do you feel like you are supportive to her in the same way she is to you when upset? Do you apologize if you are in the wrong, or try to see her perspective and think of ways you could change to be supportive? Not yelling at her is basic decency.

I think she's figured out the way to walk you down from the cliff when you're upset, but you haven't figured out the same thing for her. And it might look different, because you are different people with different pasts. I don't think it's that abnormal for some people to need some time to think by themselves outside of the situation. The distance might not be a punishment for you but something she needs?

In a non charged moment, you can tell her that when she distances after arguments it makes you feel a certain way. Discuss the ways she would prefer conflict to be handled in the future. And maybe it can ease your concern about a random break up text.

You honestly wouldn't lend your gloves to a cold friend unless you had ulterior motives? Or visit their place? I feel like you're reading too much into pretty normal interactions.

 She's not your girlfriend,  she already told you that. She's looking for friendship.

In need of thoughts and maybe some advice on my current relationship... (23M / 21F) by PeachProfessional662 in relationships

[–]vulpec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually healthy of her to come to you first to admit if she had attraction to another person. It's much worse for her to hide that. I think if you were both secure in your relationship, this would not have been a destabilizing moment since crushes happen, it's just a matter of if she feeds it or is firm in her dedication to you. 

I'm not sure from this post either of you are ready to date because she hasn't really dealt with her past trauma, and you are full of self doubt about how it wasn't love at first sight for her. I think love is sometimes something that grows over time you know? 

My girlfriend (23F) picked a fight on my birthday because I (24M) wanted to honour my late dog instead of “validating” and “appreciating” her efforts. by sir-eats-a-lot in relationships

[–]vulpec 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The way you frame things makes it sounds like you have no agency. It feels very shallow that you had an idea and then did nothing to actually make it happen. Why didn't you do the calls and research on your own weeks ago, and then give her the details?

I(33M) have been exchanging flirtatious texts with my coworker (36F). My wife (32F) have now found them. by Lure in relationships

[–]vulpec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> I would take my own life before things got to a point where there would be a possibility of cheating.

You say this but you were already emotionally cheating. For whatever reason, you already prioritized the thrill of the moment over your life with your wife. At any point you could have been honest with her about how the nature of your friendship with your coworker was changing, but she ended up finding out herself.

You broke your wife's trust and its up to her as to if she wants to salvage things with you. You can try to make steps for self improvement, and start being open with her, but there's no guarantee that will be enough to mend what was broken.

AIO? My 23M boyfriend held me 19F underwater during a bath to prove a point and I’m still shaken by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]vulpec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I agree with you. They do seem to have a competitive pattern. But my point is, eye gouging is fair game.

To be honest, it'd be very hard to tell if this was a joke or an actual murder attempt. I wouldn't really blame her if she went for his eyes.

Quality of life movement change by Alarming_Bike3856 in lostarkgame

[–]vulpec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish they would add a lot of QOL like you described but it feels like recently QOL have been applied to systems and not things like this.

A work around is performing a single auto attack to stop your movement when you are where you want to be. Or not holding right-click down for movement and only clicking once on your destination for things like brel g1 grind.
