My girlfriend broke up with me yesterday. It's only been a couple months, but I'm really serious in this relationship. There were signs, and I was too dedicated, not blind, to actually pay attention. Hell, she didn't even want to have sex.
Then I think about people around me, and people here, I realize that many other people are going through more difficult situations than mine.
I hope I will get better soon.
This too shall pass.
Everyone out there, hold on. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Thanks. My mom's dementia has gotten so bad she is transferring to a memory care unit on Tuesday. I will have limited access to visit until Covid requirements are lifted in my state.
I sincerely hope things will get better for her and your family.
Thanks
Damn man, that’s really tough. I hope things get better soon and y’all have all the time in the world to see each other.
Thank you. Yeah I'm looking forward to the Covid requirements being lifted. Its good she's going there - they are better equipped to handle her care.
You can look into dietary adjustments that can fight this, and also look into the work of Dr David Sinclair at Harvard.
Agree. Gluten-free should be helpful.
Sorry bro, that really sucks. I hope your mom stays lucid long enough to talk about what you always wanted to talk about, those moments are the most important.
Thanks bro. Really my role is to serve rather than to be heard. I had to adjust to this reality in 2016 and the thought of never having conversations with her again caused me to train so hard in jump rope that I tore both Achilles. I’ve come a long way since then.
Damn man, sorry to hear that. I know you been dealing with this for a while now and I can't imagine how rough it is. Its a horrible disease.
Thanks bro. Yeah I guess more of my focus has become how best to serve given the situation rather than obsessing about things I can’t change.
I'm sorry man. Wishing the best for you and your mom.
Thanks - I appreciate it -
You’ve got this bro. You’re stronger than you think.
She wasn’t the one for you. The only thing you can do is move on and be a better, stronger person because of it.
Thank you.
You will find better. It might take some time, you won't believe it now, but you will find better.
Hey man, I just got friend-zoned by a girl that I thought I had a good connection with LOL. Pick your head up, king.
I might sound stupid for this: based on my shallow experiences, sometimes getting friend-zoned is one way for you to continue. The girl is probably looking at this connection from a very new point of view. If you really do like her, don't give up. Somestimes a man needs to go through a lot to show the woman that they are made for each other.
Yeah man, I get that. I'm honestly extremely new to relationships in general. I'm your typical nerdy analyst in IB. Any other advice you'd like to share from your experiences lmao? Not meaning to hijack this thread...
Same - happened yesterday
...
Damn dude, I'm deadass in the same place as you LOL. I met someone over COVID and we had a strong connection but we couldn't meet and the ldr made things difficult . She said she wanted some space and we could reconnect when things blow over. I kinda hated the fact that she left things open-ended and for a few months after, all I could think about was getting back with her but ultimately the healthy thing to do is to move on as if she had told me to fuck off. The ball is in her court and if she wants to reach out after covid so be it but I think it's a really bad idea to bank on reconnecting with your ex/hoping for some fairy-tail scenario where she runs back in your arms. It's hard but ultimately it's for the better. Good luck to you man and I hope you find what you're looking for.
I totally agree...it's better (for me) to think about "reconnecting" as a way of spending time with a friend (don't know too many people in my current city), instead of hopnig for some fairy tale miracle.
This is not a good plan
Yeah, now I think about it...
Hang in there man; it's a great first step to tell people (friends or strangers here) what you're going through. Don't keep things bottled up.
I'm going through the same situation; guess it helps to be so busy you don't have time to overthink things and depress yourself. In your limited downtime, reach out or go call up friends you have spoke to in a while, go have lunch out. Keep your exercise up. Go smack some golf balls at the range. Whatever is your personal therapy activity. Shoot just being outside does wonders for the mental state. Head up man.
Just remember that I have to sacrifice my arm for my neck in May. Love problems are really not that bad tbh
Women do not like to have sex with unattractive guys. Don't blame them for this. It is your fault.
What doesn't kill you makes you more traumatized. Choose very carefully who you share your traumas with. It makes you unattractive.
That's actually very inaccurate: Always seeing unattractive men with hot girls, knowing that every girl is different and finds different takes attract them and if we were to take this academically: studies show that women are attracted mostly to height and jaw, read this in my psychology textbook.
Sounds like you have watched too many Zack Efron movies.
Sad assumptions crowned with personal attack. That unfortunately does not leave us much space for a discussion :(
You really know how to kick a guy when he's down
King, don´t put yourself down. You are a good person and worthy of love. You will improve, get better judgement and looks, and then you will find the woman that is right for you. This suffering is only temporal, and we are all gonna make it, king.
You're not the only one my dude. We got you and you aren't alone.
