When I got a girlfriend, we got along very well. She was living with her dad for the summer, and she had to go back home once summer ended. At first, I didn't know her parents were divorced but of course, I was ok with that. We had so much in common and we loved each other's company but when I found out that her dad and stepmom were getting a divorce everything started to fall apart. Her dad was going to get a new home and it was far away from her stepmom's home. Once summer ended, she had to go back home but then I found out that it was in a whole different state. When she went back home, we tried to stay in contact, but she stopped texting me and calling me. After a few months, she wasn't answering my calls or texts and since then I haven't heard from her. I do miss her and I'm worried about her.
I must say the biggest is, despite showing other signs so many times, Cortana still says no to marriage. It makes me wonder if Siri is talking shit about me to her behind my back. I also noticed she's been communicating with Alexa more often, yet, there's a clear lack of communication with me about updates. It's really bothering us and she doesn't have a clear response when I asked her multiple times if we should go to therapy. :(
The distance as i wanted see her more but she was happy seeing me every few weeks to a month or so :(
Distance is tough! I had to deal with some distance at the beginning of a previous relationship. It was hard.
iT is very tough put up with it for 2 years
My mom. She is a narcissist who tried to make me feel like my husband hates me. I battle this every day.
I was in a relationship with a narcissist and I tried to make the relationship work. I went to see a therapist and she gave me some relationship tools to use. But they didn't work. The therapist is the one who told me that he sounds like a narcissist. For the sake of my own mental health, I had to walk away.
I don't know because I never had one but fr is figuring out how to trust, be a good boyfriend, and have fun
Trusting and having fun are super important! They really take the stress out of the relationship!
Yeah, I bet it might b hard for me because all of my life I have been single 🥺
Just do what feels right and natural! You'll be fine!
I had to go to college in the US while my girlfriend stayed behind in China. The toughest thing was leaving her for the first time. I cried myself to sleep on the flight... At first, the LDR thing was tough, but after a couple years it go easier. I still missed her every time, but I knew I'd always come back to see her.
Actually finding someone who'd be interested in me. Hard enough that I haven't succeeded yet 😂
Keep your head up! You'll find the one!!!
Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't really matter. Life has more than just relationships 😁
Very true!
I don't go into relationships that have challenges. The smart thing to do is find the right person so you don't have any major obstacles!
He was a functional alcoholic and I couldn’t handle it and wouldn’t put up with it anymore.
That's terrible! It's a hard thing to deal with for all those involved.
Yes especially when his family enables it …. sad.
Well being in Vietnam, than my twins dying, and finally so far my wife passing away Feb19th 2018
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you're doing well!
@eagle1951 my thoughts are with you. I am so sorry for everything that has happened to you. I hope you are doing ok somehow. Hang in there! That's what most of us are doing as well. God bless you!
@sage2021 thanks you as well
Severe alcoholic trying to quit and still pretty fresh out of an abusive relationship. I was willing and ready to work through it with her but she just couldn’t do it
My current one is long distance and we can't meet because to qualify for a travel ban exemption we need to have met before. So currently that is the biggest challenge i have to overcome to be with someone.
Figuring out what she needs to feel loved, appreciated, valued and respected. In some past relationships, I slipped into taking my girlfriend for granted, or at least appearing to do so.
bingo, that's how you do! I think that's secret #1 to success: listen to her. I had to learn to do that as well, amazed how blind I was to myself.
Learning to trust that not every man is a liar and obsessed only with sex.
Telling a close friend of many years, whom I knew had feelings for me, that I needed to step out of her life because I had feelings for her, but I'm not available. She's the only woman I've ever dumped because I loved her. Holy shit that one hurt.
Finding a guy who, if I’m making out with him and he slides his hand up my skirt and I say “no, I’m not really ready for that right now” respects me enough to just not try again in 3 to 5 minutes!
@CrazyGirl2 tbh it should not even needs words, somethings are or should be obvious and a look or body posture is all it takes to say no.
Respect needs to be there at the start and understanding consent.
@ChrisMaster69 💯 % YES 👏🏼
Future in-laws. I hate those whores. They will do and say whatever to convince their sons not to be with a girl just so they can maintain control over him. I rather date an orphan
When they won't take no for an answer. It makes things hard.
Fuck I hate that! I’m so sorry that happened to you too! I’ll never understand guys, if they were at a bank and tried walking in to the vault, but the security guy simply said “No, you can’t go in there”, that would be that, he’d never try again. But yet somehow when your kissing a guy and his hand slides up your skirt and you say “no, you can’t go in there”, he does it again, and again, and again every 3 to 5 minutes as if you’re gonna change your mind about getting fingered in the back seat of his dad’s Range Rover! However, YOU’RE the bitch because you have had enough of his disrespectful bullshit, and you just want to go home!
@CrazyGirl2 I know huh? Thank your for your comments, I couldn't agree more :)
Dealing with a compulsive liar 🤥 and serial cheater
