I often find people reframing my reality to make them feel more comfortable. Rather than simply hear my words, they need to "interpret" my words, they seem to insist on "reading between the lines" rat…
I think I sometimes do feel like it’s a little bit of whiplash, but I think it’s more so when they haven’t been making time for themself or are burning the candle at both ends with work, etc, and we m…
Idk if I'm anxious or I just get triggered by the right (wrong?) person, but: Tbf and imo, the "as much as she needs" is just a nice way to say "i'm making this easy for you, but please don't take lo…
I’m going to be so real with you OP. You *do* of course have the right to ask for your things back, but reading between the lines of your very-anxious posts about this guy, it seems like you’re trying…
I mean in terms of similar relationship goals, yes. But there's a lot of people who list looking for long-term because they are "open to it" but not necessarily really seeking it as they kind of know …
Outstanding tramslation so far, but let me finish it by reading between the lines. Aunt Jo has already failed at getting your sister to do it. She is mad because the rest of the family plans on dumpi…
Reading between the lines (simple, quiet) it just sounds like he’s lazy and broke. Definitely leave his ass and find someone who will treat you right.
Hm, to me, I would take his stance on your male friends feeling and thinking a certain way toward you as projection of his own thoughts and feelings toward women. If he lacks either the imagination o…
Technically a steady presence is, you put up with what happens and you do everything you can to de-escalate. Like the other commenter said, you smile, be kind, and don't bring up what they did. I thin…
Agreed. This seems like another one of those posts where OP thinks they worded everything as though they were totally in the right and got blindsided by something. But the subtext and reading between …
I'm going to be 100% honest here...Reading between the lines of this post shows a lot of keywords that are dangerous to keep in your head. "Hot 1%", being surrounded by advice of "staying single", co…
Not the op but 'letting go' generally in life is something I've been working on for about six years. Anyhoo... It firstly all about trust. Trusting your own abilities to manifest, to also adapt to ch…
Reading between the lines here and also hazard a guess and say the sex is probably amazing but if it’s genuinely stressing you out or making you feel like a prisoner, it is so not worth it, it’s not g…
Thank you for the feedback. Especially from a wandering spouse. If I’m reading between the lines, it sounds like you’re saying the cheating won’t stop - therefore why waste time in the relationship tr…
I'm on the autistic spectrum, and I find very open-ended questions difficult. In my case, it's probably because there are too many options and I'm trying to figure out what you want to hear. I'm not g…
Reading between the lines, I suspect he's emotionally abusive. But even if the fights are mutual, with that and the unsatisfying sex, cut your losses now. A better relationship awaits.
this isn't a direct response to your question, but reading between the lines, it sounds like you're not that attracted to him.
when you say “I had to share schedules, money, kids birthdays, school, events, etc." ... Did that mean you felt the need to exclude them? Did the ex want you to exclude them? There’s a difference be…
As a few people have said, this is really normal to have all this mix of feelings with this experience. I'm now in my early 30s and spent a lot of my 20s reflecting on how I felt about my promiscuity …
Sorry this is long, but your post REALLY resonated with me. I have been divorced just over a year, but we were also together for 25 years and married for 15! I was the underemployed partner with ADHD…
You deserve better. You deserve someone who has never had those thoughts about you, let alone said them aloud. You deserve someone who makes you feel good about yourself. You deserve someone who sees …
