Polls: Relationships

Long ago when I was 10, my parents took me to both occupational and speech therapy. I was battling socializing. They removed me from my previous school upon finding out my classmates were treating me horrible. There were only two girls in the class that were always nice to me and they told my parents about the bullying. I went to another school full of new classmates with my similar issue.

Eventually I was able to socialize better by the time I was in High School. I was already placed in regular classes with 30 students. I went unnoticed and no one knew my past. Though here is the issue: I've been masking this whole time to the point I can pass as a typical, outgoing person. Though I'm exhausted by the time a party or large social gathering ends and really need some quiet time by then. I already know how the environment operates, went over many scripted conversations and scenarios during the whole time my therapists helped me and also gained experience over time.

However, I'm aware this is strongly genetic. My paternal grandmother had that too and so does my mother's aunt. So yes there is a chance my child can inherit this from me. I'm currently going out on a date and seems like we might get in a relationship soon. Should I share this information at some point? My parents think that's something no one else needs to know.

What if I never tell him that and then years later, we have a child and he/she ends up having my same social disorder? Would you want to know this if you were my boyfriend?

Too many people put so much credit on having a major, never using drugs, never stealing nor going to jail.

Yet, can you still be a trashy, rotten person even if you fit all the above? Just because you have several degrees doesn't mean you can still be a horrible friend or partner. Never getting arrested for crimes, not doing drugs nor stealing is really just the bare minimum in life.

My first boyfriend (now ex) was all that and he still was a lying, cheater. I learned years later, he cheated on his next girlfriend and got the other woman pregnant. He's a physician but a terrible partner; a cheater. He used to talked about how his parents raised him right. LOL.

And if you’re single, thinking about the people you usually date… are you normally the funnier one, are they, or is it pretty equal?

I don't know I feel like every relationship has someone who just naturally keeps the other person laughing.

My boyfriend has this girl who he knew for like since they were high school. Is it normal for them to talk to each other? There's one time he message that girl when were fighting on that day. Once in a while, they always update each other.

Someone pointed out to me that i'm a hero... always strong and several other things that I'm sure they meant as a compliment... but even as I politely thanked them a part of me was rather sad.

Why sad? I thought about how nice it would be to HAVE a hero on my side rather than just always having to be the one to step up to a challenge. It would be nice to have some down time with a "partner in crime" who has my back would be so cool.

For now, though, constantly carrying on as if nothing was bothersome about it at all. Most days it's fine, but some days... 🤷🏻‍♀️

What about you guys and gals?

Married People are also Included.

any white guy I know of is attracted to Asian girls for mainly two reasons 1. cute, petite physique 2. submissive culture... both are massive stereotypes and as time passes, the illusion may pass. so, if the above question fits you, how's your love life?

I don't blame white men tbh, bc white feminism is a bit much. however, most women in Asian countries are oppressed beyond comprehension, and a big reason they want their husbands to be white is cuz, culture based on freedom.

Also, some girls here have quite narrow minded views.

They feel white husband is a status upgrade. I'm like, unless he makes a lot, HOW? lol. don't mind.

I just read a real life case about just that. In 2011, a 99 year-old Italian man filed for divorced upon discovering hidden letter from an old affair his wife had way back in 1940. Even though he shared 77 years of marriage and already had kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren by then, he still filed for divorced. This is the story:

Obviously your time has long been wasted but you're already close to dying. Would you still file for divorce by then? That little remaining time left you have on earth isn't going to make up for the lies built during practically the entire long decades of marriage.

In 2011, a 99-year-old Italian man named Antonio C. filed for divorce from his 96-year-old wife, Rosa C., after 77 years of marriage because he discovered love letters detailing an affair she had in the 1940s.

The Discovery and Split
The Marriage: The couple married in 1934 after meeting in Naples while Antonio served as a police officer and member of the Italian Carabinieri. Together, they had five children, 12 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
The Evidence: Days before Christmas in 2011, Antonio found a hidden stash of old love letters in an old chest of drawers. The letters were exchanged between Rosa and her former lover during World War II.
The Confrontation: Antonio confronted Rosa, who confessed to the affair. Though she begged him to forgive her and move past a betrayal that happened more than 60 years prior, Antonio decided to move forward with the divorce due to deep resentment and emotional distress
