That was my experience we were in a similar friend group I kept respectful, and didn't talk to anyone about what happened while she turned people against me. She tried to apologize, but by that time i…

Thanks...we are marriage counseling, individual therapy...all the trimmings. I tried to gently bring up attachment science, and I think our MC knew where I was going. I led with something like, "I t…

I’m in the same boat. The timeline was brief (about a month total) but very recent, and this man has lived in my head ever since. I’m proud to say (as an anxious) that I didn’t do any protest behavior…

Are they familiar with attachment theory? I think that I would gently suggest that they look into it, and let them know that they should do some work on themselves. That you know they care and that …

Ops, I've seen it too late

My fa ex posted this as WhatsApp status for me after 3 months I didn’t reply I know an apology won't change anything, but I still carry the weight of my mistakes every single day. I lost someone who g…

The 'sorry' was out of politeness :) I do hope it works out, though. Never too late for a redemption arc.

Same i cant stand it people love me and then i am too much and push them away and i cant stop myself until its too late i dont know if its worth trying anymore i hate it

They left me. Yeah honestly it came down to me being quickly overwhelmed with a lot of negative emotions (not a bad thing) and I got overwhelmed. As an infp, I tend to mirror/empathize deeply to the e…

Yes, i had started to do just that when she told me about her past with this guy. It sucked all the wind out of my sails for dancing with her at all; i needed time to process it before i could see it …

Sure, here is a portion that resonated with me a lot and made sense on what attracts me to the avoidants or unavailable or troubled people. Shall share more if you are interested: The need to be need…

I'm no expert, but your post has almost nothing in the positive and what benefit you do have comes with strings/control. It's never too late to protect and empower yourself to go after what you want.…

I think that this is kind of missing the forest for the trees. Working through attachment patterns doesn't prepare you to be able to tell if someone else is insecure/secure. Most of the time, someone…

I actually appreciate your advice. I’m on the fence about reconnecting with him. I want to but I kinda feel like it’s too late and he no longer sees me the same. Last I seen/spoke to him was May which…

My win is finding out about dismissive-avoidant attachment style. Since childhood, at very specific moments, I would shut down to people, often those close to me, like family and romantic partners. I…

Vent. My guy came over last night. It was okay. Just felt a little flat. Think we hit our first bump this morning. It’s been over three months. No bf/gf definitions, but we’re not dating anyone else. …

>He is very easy going until he isn’t Couldn't this also be said about you? You couldn't take no for an answer and kept trying to change his mind. >This morning, I wanted to get coffee together af…

Oh, okay, scratch option 1 then. Three dates is far too late in the game to be ghosting. I think it's still reasonable to end things via text at that juncture though. Or, if you know you've made your …

feeling… down. don’t know that i’m looking for advice necessarily, just a vent. seeing a guy for 3+ months. he is perfect. great communicator, super cute, lots of chemistry. sleepovers every time we…

As a guy who is so far away from being capable of even thinking of dating, why can I not come to terms with that? Like, other things I’ve just been able to accept won’t happen or come really difficult…

I’ve been in therapy for 4 and a half years now, and with the amount of problems I have it will take such a long time to fix, that’s why it feels too late

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. I hope you can take some time to think about it all and give yourself some grace. I hope you also know you don’t deserve someone who is going to abandon you in …

32m it’s not too late for us. Sucks being lonely but the worst thing you can do is stop trying. Friend of mine has given up and it’s sad tbh bc he’s not going to find anything. Stay on the apps, sure…

It’s not too late. Sounds like you’ve had a hard time and are discouraged though and I’m sending empathy.

How do people deal with receiving the slow fade? I've been on a number of dates over the last 3 months, we've had sex, but now their response are taking longer and longer and are shorter and shorter. …

I used to believe that everything was fixable, that there was some magical combination of words and actions that would make people love me again. I used to hope that the people who left me would one d…

Almost 32 and longest I've dated someone is two months. Just trying to live my best life at this point. Might be too late for me.

Question for the class. I've been dating this girl for about 9 months. She's been traveling for work the past two weeks so we had plans to go out to a nice restaurant and drinks this Saturday. However…

It is definitely too late now. Is this a causal relationship? Because after dating for 9 months, I would be invited to the friend's party. Look, you asked her. At a certain point we need to take peopl…

I recently moved to a new country for work. I met someone through a dating app who is 8 years older than me. In terms of career, I had just graduated and was at the very beginning of my professional j…

go for it! if you have family/friends keeping you in PA, then you can always come back. They (hopefully) aren;t going anywhere. Especially if oyu have the financial means too. The longer you wait the …

I think you should talk to the friends, not her. Now. It is possible she genuinely did just want to come to the party. Assuming and Asses and all that. But the friend who invited her. They don't know…

It sucks, and you should definitely take all the time you need for yourself. But 33 is not late to find someone. 40 isn't. 50 isn't. Deathbed isn't too late either.

That is hilarious lmao, with the storm 😒I was in a long distance dating-ship thing and he always had some excuse about why he couldn’t visit, but went absolute ham over hurricane season in Florida an…

Dude, she asked you to post her and was annoyed that you didn’t so now she’s unposting you. It’s probably too late to save it but your only chance is to start posting her and tell her now you understa…

You’re way smarter than you’re giving yourself credit for. These are things others would dismiss or laugh off oh that was weird lol, until it was too late. I think you’ve just avoided a possible maj…

Not good maybe. You mentioned she had asked you in the past about you reciprocating postings of her on your own page more often. By her bringing it up she was asking for reassurances of your relation…

Not too late to back out of a date with guy 2- even just to think on it more! You’re not doing him any favors really by doing it out of guilt 💛

If the problem is important, why waste time on a type of communication that has less than a 100% chance of being understood? Bottling up feelings behind "the hints should be obvious" is just a way t…

When my dad died, we had to go through a bunch of photos from his life. First for the obituary, then for a slideshow to play at the reception hour following his memorial service. My mom wanted his o…

I am offering my thoughts in hopes that something somewhere might help you see things in a new light. This will be long and I will take no offense if you don't read it. >Unfortunately, I think for th…

Yeah, she went to get tested a too late, he didn’t get tested at all… so I don’t know, she’s to blame for her own health like he’s for his. He didn’t get tested so nobody even knows who infected whom…

This usually happens because he was already detaching long before they breakup, and rather than having the decency to communicate this with you he instead decided to walk away when he's finally detach…
