Tbh, couldn’t bother finish reading, it’s the same story as every person that’s got feelings for their friend. The tough but straightforward answer is that you can’t ask for a romantic relationship without the risk of making things awkward. There will always be a chance that they’ll be creeped out, uninterested, or decide you can’t be friends anymore. That’s how it is asking out ANYBODY. There’s no secret way to get around that, it’s how life is.
Don’t ask her out over text. Tell her in person that you’ve developed feelings for her and that you want to ask her on a date.
Absolutely don't ask her out. She was being nice to you because it's literally her job. You don't know her or if she's even remotely interested in you. And asking people out in their workplace is inappropriate.
She could just have read an article or something. It's pretty common to recommend partners, parents, managers and others to avoid using the word “why” for just this reason. I think that's a bit exagerated but it's still a very common advice. If it annoys her just could just try beginning with how, when or what instead.
A mistake? lol give me a break. Dude, you're 19, way too young to be getting caught up in sunk-cost fallacy. Kick her ass to the curb and carry on with your life.
The fact he didn't take accountability and shifted the blame onto you is what beyond a shadow of a doubt solidified that it isn't salvageable. He's pathetic. He leaped across the line when he gave himself permission to hurt you and now he has to deal with the consequences.
“If he upsets someone, he says he was just playing around.”
Ah yes, the standard motto of every “prankster” and “jokester” bully who ever lived. OP, your husband is showing you who he really is. Online with it, or don’t, but that is who he is.
He knows what you want him to do, and he’s 100% unwilling to do it. You have a few options: (1) clean up after him, (2) leave his stuff alone and online in mess, (3) leave. There is no magical fourth option where you say the right words and he suddenly starts cleaning. You have already been clear, and he does not care how you feel.
Do men use women they don’t find attractive? I’m worried this means men don’t want me for a relationship as this is the most attention and furthest I’ve managed to get with a man 🙁
Enjoy the movie! I feel like it could have ended differently than it did and still have been fine, though. You'll understand once you watch it, don't wanna spoil it.
The movie will definitely give you some food for thought.
> I want to be sure that the person I love doesn’t see this as acceptable. She told me I was overacting and I needed to get sleep, I told her she should sleep and tell me if she feels the same way in the morning.
This has lots of red flags. Poisoning an animal, regardless of the reason, and feeling no remorse about doing it is the behavior of a psychopath. You gave your (I hope to be soon) ex-girlfriend a lot of chances to show remorse. What's next?
“Oh, I didn't like L, and I knew she can't have milk, so I added some milk to her coffee to make her sick?”
“Oh, I don't like L, I know she can't eat peanuts, so I put some ground up peanut dust in her cereal, just to make her sick”
>She is mildly autistic and has a lot of mental issues, so she can be strange sometimes but has always been very sweet and very caring.
Somehow, I can see her using her autism as a “get out of jail free card” for this. For mental issues, she needs to work on herself first.
That is actually how I understood it at first, like he was suggesting they would go waxing together instead of dancing cause it’s be equally uncomfortable for both of them. Assuming it’s something she had previously mentioned she wanted to do or already does and is a type of self care for her. I was thinking it was a little weird but still kindda showed he cared in a way, but now that I see it how it really is, eww
I wouldn't do it, OP. Stay friends, let it be a crush, but at this point, I don't think she would be very much interested in dating someone your age, especially not a coworker of sorts (that could possibly even get her in trouble professionally. Even though you aren't her student, employers will still take pause about it).
She can get a hotel room or any number of other solutions that don’t involve bringing potentially dangerous strangers into a home she shares with other people. It seems reasonable that if one of the male roommates had brought home a series of violent women then they’d be subjected to the same restrictions.
Her freedoms here end where they begin to negatively affect the lives of her roommates. She has demonstrated bad judgment and while that’s her right, it’s also reasonable of the roommates to do what they have to in order to have peace in their living space.
Look up Lundy Bancroft's Why Does He Do That?. Specifically, read the part where he talks about “Mr Right”. I think you'll find a lot of similarities with your husband. Also: do not attempt to go to counseling with your husband. That will only make it worse.
If you can, keep calm, don't let your emotions show. Ask her for details. Ask her if she remembers what your father was wearing, etc. Then tell her that it is very interesting, since your dad is dead and buried. Watch her squirm.
Most importantly, don't do it in a place you can't leave in a hurry. Don't invite her over or go to her house. Cafe or a park. You don't want her to have an outburst where there are just two of you.
She doesn't sound mentally healthy at all to be in a relationship with. Does she have a therapist?
I'd suggest couples counseling so you can force the discussion and confront this with a professional. Either she's sick and needs help or she's manipulative and you need to gtfo.
I'm aggressive? No what I'm doing is telling you I'm not here to debate this with you. The app said they wanted advice on the relationship the advice I gave was that the two of them need to split. But apparently that wasn't enough because the op and now you have decided you wanted to debate me on this. I've made it clear that's not going to happen. So you've got two choices you can pursue this at which point I'm going to show you just how aggressive and rude I can be. Or you do the smart thing and move on.
okay, i see. it's okay to communicate with her that you'd like more intimacy. if she's not feeling it, there's not much compromise there. but it is a bit natural for some couples as a relationship progresses, sexual excitement declines — that first honeymoon phase where you're all over each other doesn't always last forever for everyone.
it sounds to me as though she's not loving you well romantically if she won't put effort into your love language as you do hers. but just because she has a lower libido than she used to does NOT necessarily correlate with her not loving you
Are you making enough to support yourself on streaming?
This can’t be real.

So this woman was your physical therapist?
Absolutely don't ask her out. She was being nice to you because it's literally her job. You don't know her or if she's even remotely interested in you. And asking people out in their workplace is inappropriate.

So what's the question? What are you looking for advice about?

Dude your 24 I’m sorry for having to endure the abuse but your only hurting yourself at this point by letting it hold you back

Ask him.
If he plans to be better and not closed off then his reasons for a sudden change should be open for discussion. See if he means the effort.

This sort of thing isn’t something you compromise on, you accept it’s a relationship ender you should accept earlier rather than later.

Good idea. I’ll just keep doing it myself. I don’t mind it at all anyway
I think it's time for you to be selfish now.
Y’all telling me that your brother really couldn’t pick a different date to get married lol wtf

Congratulations OP! You dodged a cannon ball! Good luck in your single life.
Cheers!
This is the way.
