Dated a guy for 3 months and then got ghosted. It’s been almost a year, I’m seeing someone new and I still can’t get over it. It’s so confusing why I can’t get it out of my head

I confess to ghosting several girls, some of wh I dated at least as long. Sorry to tell you this, but assume there was some thing about you the guy really didn’t like and didn’t want to tell you.

We are big kids now. Use your words, and just say, I'm not really feeling a connection. I agree with manager 2; have some class, and don't act like a third grader.

The reason you can’t get over it because it didn’t go on long enough for you to realize it wasn’t the right fit for you. There’s still a mystery for your head to fill like was it something you did, something you said, something he didn’t like etc. the truth is you’re never gonna know the reason you got ghosted. Most likely you weren’t compatible in some way, and he was too afraid or cowardly to confront you with the truth. So he walked away to avoid confronting his own self and treating you like a person who deserved honesty. If you had dated for 3 more months and realized he was a jerk or a bad fit, you wouldn’t be feeling this way. Sometimes we really really want answers but often times they don’t help us. What helps us is realizing that the right person would never treat us this way and our brains want to solve the puzzle but it’s better to walk away yourself.

Sorry to hear that but also it sounds like you’re better off without him so in the end it worked out for the best!

It can be a feeling of "the one who got away." It's the unanswered what-ifs or the lack of closure that's bothering you.

I once had a friend with whom I spoke for almost three months before cutting all ties. I had my reasons, but, tbh, I thought it wasn't worth the hassle and was more of a liability.

I also knew that it would eventually turn into a shitshow, so I chose peace over conflict. I still care but I don’t care enough to keep in touch..

The truth is you will never know!!

You should let go what was yesterday and enjoy what you have now.. 😉

Last night I slept over my boyfriend’s apt. We are sexually active together but this time he woke up at 4/5am and started fingering me and eating me out. I was somewhat awake but I don’t know how to feel about this. Thoughts?

Are you a female?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD. Then if I order something for me he wants half or bites! Sick of it!!!

First in my family to go to college, parent is abusive so I have no safety net & had no help. Worked full time all through college & still graduated with 30k in debt. I’ve been paying really aggressively on my private loans since the federal pause and I checked today and I now only owe 2800 in private. Pretty sure I owe 11k in fed & I qualify for the 10k. Honestly trying not to cry from sheer relief.
