Would you go on a 2nd date with someone still closeted to their family? NOTE: she lives independently away from them

it depends really. if they live at a distance because they intend to keep their family at a distance, then i’d respect that and wouldn’t struggle with it. but if their family is still an active part of their life. regular calls, holiday visits etc but they couldn’t be honest about introducing me on a reunion gathering occasion, it could be a struggle.

also, there’s layers to family. like if they’re out to nuclear family just not extended family, i could entirely understand circumstances where that’s just not worth it until they are in a real life changing relationship.

lastly, it depends on my interests at the moment. the above all assumes i’m aiming for the specific purpose of a long term relationship. if i see potential instead as short term fun… for i dunno threshold less than a year and with an expiration date? then sure, what harm’s a second date.

Good call on gauging family closeness. Her family's in another country, but I've yet to inquire how involved they are with her life in NYC. We're both dating for the long haul. I'm cautious tho about committing to what sounds like a recipe for heartbreak

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?

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
