OP - male here, sorry but he’s no longer *that* interested in you. If he was , you would know it.

Remember if he wanted to, he would.

Don’t settle queen!!

Damn… that’s a very good goodbye

If you’re not getting responses to multiple texts, for your own sake, stop texting.

If he wants to talk to you, he will. And if he doesn’t, he won’t. Your continuous texting will not change that. And quite frankly, it probably makes him less likely to respond.

You have got to find a way to stop yourself. Delete his number if you have to.

Don't resist the emotion, its just a feeling created by the mind. Sit with it... feel it... and watch it disappear. It takes longer for others to master the art of radical acceptance and letting go... without having to do anything.

It won't be as easy as the snap of a finger, but its the best way to get over ANYTHING... Allowing it.

First of all, hugs to you - I’ve been there and it’s never fun. For me when this happens, it’s usually not tied to the guy himself - it’s more likely that I’m unhappy in some area of my life, and the connection was a fun distraction/fuel to dream about the “what if.” I’m not the type to cling, so when I do it’s mostly about what the guy might represent rather than the guy himself (if that makes sense.) Cuffing season makes this infinitely worse lol.

Best way I’ve found to shake it is to pour into myself in other ways - invest in a hobby, hang out with friends, hit the gym, etc.

It’s hard, but the reality is multi-texting him won’t make him like you more - and often quite the opposite. You deserve someone who is excited to talk to you - if it’s not him, just means there’s someone amazing waiting for you. 😊

I’ve been in an in-house role since the beginning of the year and just gave 2 weeks’ notice to leave for a much better paying and better titled position.

Is this normal?

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable.

I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Recently ended a 3+ yr relationship (were both mid 20s and living together for just under 2 years) bc of him buying an engagement ring yet not proposing and waffling about our future. After 2 weeks I brought up that there’s a lot of good in us that maybe worth trying to work on (counseling etc). He wants space first and asked me to not wait for him as he sorts out his emotions and “tries to be happy again” (COVID depression and 100hr work weeks). Then he’ll decide if he wants to try again

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.
