I think when I see AAs post, they’re told not to try to understand why a DA did something or what something means, but rather to just let it go. Good luck with that advice. As someone who’s a mix, so…
You need to let go of this "dream guy" fantasy. I think it's making you ignore reality. You spent ONE WEEK together. Time to move on and stop putting people on an imaginary pedestal. The more you do t…
In a healthy relationship it’s normal for someone to ask for space the smoking thing is something you have to work through on your own since it’s your own ick it’s the past let it go he said he wouldn…
I’m not a DA but I do need space. Fortunately, my friends have always understood that, and I haven’t had to communicate it. I feel like they are kind of the same and everything just feels super natura…
The way I identify a DA early on is by watching their actions. Very often they are very very intense at the begining, some even lovebombing, and then all of the sudden they dissappear for a couple of…
How would you feel if all of this is handled for you? Relieved? Trust in the power of something higher? Ask yourself these questions . Just let it linger, don’t answer right away. If you’re try…
So many examples I can think of lol. In general, after our honeymoon phase was over, she deactivated and started pulling away. I assumed this was caused by anxiety, so instead of calling out her dism…
I mean it can be tough especially when you are talking about money. Money is always in your face. We deal with it daily. A few things work for me. 1. I revisit things I manifested and think about ho…

Having children is important to me and that’s not going to change because the other person is not interested in having children. If the other person is opposed to having children, then forming a roman…
I have a lot of struggle when it comes to "just seeing things like they're mine" ou like, visualizing the things happening and just let it go. Do you have any advice or recommendation about it? Like h…
Hey, sounds frustrating, but also reads like a rigid checklist that needs to stay constant, like an impossible task because we're human, so we're flawed, ever-changing and emotional creatures. Don't k…
Hanging onto your anger will be like hanging onto a hot coal in your hand, it will burn you more than her. As for messaging , no point /nothing really to be gained from that, likely you'll get a nast…
Understandable. It sounds like in your past relationships your needs might not have been met by the other person. When someone can see you though, it can be quite an intoxicating experience. She provi…
I think i fucked up.... So I (32F) just ended things with a guy (33M) that I've been seeing for 2 ish months. I cant tell if my anxious attachment style got the best of me or of there were genuinel…
Don't send it, you don't know where they're at in their life or what they're doing and it could be disruptive or painful. I've had bad relationships and I don't think I would want a random unexpect…
I appreciate this. My mind and body continue to tell me it’s exactly jealousy of being left out, & when I’m extra sensitive, it comes up other times too. But really - why do I care? Makes me crazy. Pa…
I think two things are true: what she did initially was something most people would not be okay with in a relationship. So that was bad and it was a big deal. However, two, It sounds like she handled…

Hey I've been facing some issues in my relationship. Need advice on how to fix everything. My partner very recently expressed her concern for my health and that i should really avoid drinking at all.…
Although your story is different to an avoidant, doesn’t matter DA/FA, unless your constantly throwing up boundary walls at random and make them chase you they’ll stick to the avoidant (unofficial) ha…
I felt ready when I was OK with the idea of being alone long term. Build as full of a life as you can on your own. I did this even with a small social circle. I really just learned to enjoy my own com…
What exactly do you hope to get out of it? Are you only doing that to make yourself feel better? I think you are free to forgive yourself for prior actions and let it go. For all you know it is in the…
really really great work. impressive. i am going thru a similar separation, altho not fully of my instigation, i am doing my damndest to let it go and to chose myself. you are inspiring me!
For me: 1. I am more comfortable communicating my needs and wants. I am someone who really enjoys their alone time. In the past, I would sacrifice this to please others (friends, partners( and the wh…
TL;DR: I moved to a new country and invited a coworker (married with a kid) to be my roommate. We got along well, and I thought we had a genuine connection. On my birthday, no one showed up, but he of…
Self discovery is a painful, slow, grueling process. I feel so alienated despite being so loving. I adore the people (not my dysfunctional family though lol) around me and it hurts when I can't let th…
Change the narrative you have around this. Give yourself the compassion you deserve. Allow yourself to grieve and then let it go.
What does it serve you to hold onto this hurt? You are repeating the same narratives about the break up with you as the victim. You have not healed if you cannot reframe this break up without you as t…
- for obsessive thinking to stop asap, you have to make sure there are as few memory triggers as possible. Also, you have to consciously stop yourself when you feel ready. Find distractions, hang out …
How can you continue to talk with zero hopes but friendship? Is it not just easier to let it go and move on to the next?
I don’t unmatch, I just let it go mentally.
This is not a skill issue. It’s not something that can be fixed by the use of one tool or another. This isn’t about feeling. That’s why grounding statements don’t work because it’s not about the arous…
I (27M) met my fiance (22F) about 5 months ago through family. After speaking to her virtually for 2 months and then meeting her in person about 2 months ago, we got engaged. Now in the beginning of t…
That sucks man. It’s like that sometimes. I went on a date recently and she wanted to go on another date. She brought it up, not me. I texted her and she didn’t reply. Oh well. Just gotta let it go.
As a man's view point, it could be he liked everything about you but your looks and was hoping that by powering through it, his mind would change eventually. But it wasn't enough to change his mind. …
If the chemistry was there on the first date, I would ask for a second date at this point. I wouldn't let it go on as it is for too much longer. It's possible he's just a bad texter, so if it felt goo…
That sounds like enmeshment though. Someone’s trauma can cause controlling behaviors. You are you our own person with your own experiences. Your session with the therapist is your session with the the…
lol to be fair to that guy, it is kind of hilarious, I'd take that instance to mean that you were a good one and your boyfriend should hold onto you! But with "Frank", have you spoken to your boyfrie…
It all really depends on what that dealbreaker is that you are leaving out of your post. If you KNOW you aren't compatible with this person, you have to let it go.
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…
It really is just a frame of mind. It’s all about catching yourself being upset and saying it’s ok to be upset. “This person hurt me because they lied, I’m allowed to be angry with them and I’ll let …
This guy is an asshole. Let it go. If it’s unimportant and easily replaced stuff, just let it go. He’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with you. Don’t keep begging for contact. Block and delete h…
I personally read that as only the clock being the item he gave her, not the other two items. Thats why she says “that was (singular) in the bag” not “were (plural)”. Cause I’m pretty sure she was onl…
Let it go, let it go-o-o
It is kinda hard to get your stuff back if someone is ghosting you, unless you go to their house, knock on their door and ask. And that would probably be major drama, not closure, just emotional pai…
I get the principle but at this point best thing is to let it go and completely disappear from his life. Even if he comes back, be a ghost. Heal and get hotter.
I’m still bitter about belongings exes have kept after a breakup. It’s been almost 10 years and I still think about the pillow and satin pillowcase one of them kept. Others may see it as a “cheap, eas…
OP, i remember your other posts. The thing is, you're having trouble accepting the no-contact. You already tried to talk to him about things that weren't related to your stuff. I actually think he is …
Nah, I’d want my stuff back as well. All these “let it go” folks are just too afraid of conflict or confrontation.
