This is the way. My ex broke up with me last week on the phone before my dentist appointment. I had to cut the call short because I needed to make my appointment. I lied about watching a sad show on m…
It’s kind of saddening/comical to see how majority of these posts go “my partner / ex is avoidant. They are the best thing since sliced bread and I’ve already read 102839172 books on their attachment …
Based on the other comments, his communication and failure to follow through on plans are a recurring *thing*. But either way, nothing I said was rude, offensive or negative. It was what it was and…

Ugh I’ve considered this. There’s a part of my ego that doesn’t want him to “win” by me moving. Everything I like to do is near me now. It just sucks that my whole life has to change while he’s living…
She texted me back today! Very excited about the show wishing she could've made it. But, with the weather in general she just couldn't. Started recommending venues for me in her home town. I kept my r…
Yea I’m completely with you OP! There’s no way to approach a true narc about a problem in a way where things will go “right.” You either have to bend the knee to them and take the abuse and do your be…

Waiting for disability pension. Same here. I feel for you 💔 It is horrible how people determine others' value by the work one able to provide. We aren't hecking machines! It infuriates me or makes …
Lie to him like he lied to you. Act unbothered and just say “yeah sure” and then if he follows up say you’re working on it. Then just never do it. Screw him!
I will start by saying that he's not wrong, but he seems to have gone about it the wrong way. Let me explain. He most likely wants your body to be special (and unique) to him, not shared with other…
This is the most relatable post I've seen in a while. That being said, I've gone a little further from unbothered apathy to off the apps all together and living my best life out here in the wild.

I’m going to meet you where you are—but also gently pull you out of a trap you don’t realize you’re in: You don’t feel unattractive because you are unattractive. You feel unattractive because you’ve …
you’re not insane, friend. you’re hurt, scared, and comparing yourself to someone who accidentally touched one of your deepest fears. that can make the mind start telling very dramatic stories. not b…
If you don't want to remove them as a friend, it might help to restrict what they are able to see on your page. I know you're trying to act/be unbothered, but anything they know about you will always …
You said that much better than I did. And its valuable to distinguish the underlying motivation. I think addressing unconscious motivations is the key to getting stronger. You have to drag the unconsc…
I wish. 13 months in and I have not been able to move on. Men more often have a delayed emotional response though, that’s why some seem unbothered at first.
I"m so sorry your struggling. I can identify with all of this. I think one of the hardest parts of this for me has always been the Injustice, and by that I mean the SHAME that accompanies trying t…

They will never forget the way you made them feel. They can't, even if they try to act unbothered by the loss - because they learned that not showing weakness feels like safety. And then, when they g…
Reels like maybe nerves causing him to act like a bit of a bumbling idiot over this. Feels like he tried to be cute, then before youvhad a chance to reply his confidence in the cleverness of his quip,…
If you both are keeping him accessible, he is unbothered about the nagging....from neither of you. Let her have him, its obvious he is not a respectable man, husband, nor father to do what he has do…
I think it’s important to take care of yourself and stop pouring into cups that clearly have holes in them. But also acknowledge that some of us just can’t be unbothered and nonchalant. You just happe…
It sounds like he showed you who he is and your relationship may not be a good fit. Despite many commenters I think that your age has nothing to do with your breakup. I took my boyfriend out to dinn…
1) she sucks - your “friend” will find out soon 2) that dude is not your friend 3) make the goal being unbothered as quickly as possible. Ground yourself in reality. Clearly you did not know her that …
