(Reasons We're Probably Not) Dating Or In A Relationship Thread NSFW • Page 349

Sorry. Im sorry. Im trying to remove it

 

No, I meant toss the actual salad!

 

This could be a sketch

It probably shouldn't, but it could

 

Well since we're here we might as well. No no, don't put the ranch away quiiiiite yet

 

*shudders*

 

These vivid dreams about my ex need to stahhhhhppp

 

I feel ya

 

so my girlfriend is uncomfortable with me being friends with someone on facebook and wants me to delete them. this person was a former classmate of mine with similar academic interests and i added her specifically for networking reasons. we've been together for 3 years and this has happened multiple time, and i've always ended up deleting/blocking/unfollowing someone from social media to make make her feel comfortable, but i'm starting to lose my patience. am i wrong to not want to give in this time? i just feel like if i don't say no, i'm always going to have to be super selective with who i befriend and network with, and it especially sucks since i'm living in a completely new city.

 

I'd be mad if someone ever made me unfollow or stop speaking to someone. That's not a partners place imo

 

it sucks that she's so jealous, both for you and for her that can't be fun walking around feel like that all the time, but no you're allowed to have female friends or acquaintances, you probably should

 

"PopPunkLover55" just sent me a message on okcupid.

BLOCKED.

 

ia. I know lots of people are jealous to a degree, but it seems exhausting and straining on a relationship and the individuals involved when it can control things. At that point I feel like I'd either wanna reevaluate myself and why i am so insecure and jealous, or reevaluate my relationship and wonder why I can't feel secure and safe in it. Idk. I'm sure it's a complex thing but having been in a relationship where I was very controlled by a jealous partner, I couldn't do it again.

Not saying op's partner is to that extreme extent, just my experience with it has made me like fiercely protective of my independence and ability to control my life, and it colors how I see the issue I'm sure

 

dylan why

 

Third wheeling with my friends at lunch but I got me Thai iced tea so it's all good good.

 

I'm not sorry and I'm leaving it

 

respect

 

man those were the worst. havent had one in a very long time. i dream about my current gf allllll the time, which is great

 

Personally, I wouldn't take that. My first proper girlfiend was like that and it's just a ridiculous thing to deal with. The trouble with you standing your ground now is that you've done as she wished previously. It's going to look like there's some particular reason why you've insisted on keeping this one. Unfortunately, it sounds like you're going to be in for a tough conversation.

 

I hate how jealous I can get sometimes (looking at you Scorpio) but I don't really get jealous about social media unless you give me a reason to.

 

For being the most pessimistic person ever I've never been jealous, really. Being jealous takes work. I am lazy. It's also stressful and that causes premature aging and I gotta keep my brand fresh.

Edit: actually I'm not relationship jealous but sometimes I get friend jealous. my bff has a toooon of friends and sometimes I feel like I get the shaft

 

I can't deal with someone I'm seeing still talking to an ex

 

Yeah, I'm still friends with my ex and if someone told me I couldn't be friends with her that would kind of suck cause I don't even see her as an ex anymore, despite that she was my longest relationship. It's like that part of our lives never really even existed. With that said, I also would not like if my girlfriend was good buds with an ex lol

 

lol I had an ex try to make me jealous once by talking to his ex. I was like cool idgaf. So then he tried to up the ante and plan to go to a concert with her and I was like have fun!!!

He was totally bluffing tho cause he got all whiny when I didn't care. he was just dumb. I should've seen the light earlier lol.

 

I don't care about exes. The history of a partner is what brought them to the point where we came together and care about one another. It seems like the anxiety that can arise from references to, or contact with, the past is comparable to the dissatisfaction that some feel when an ex finds happiness after the dissipation of a relationship; It destroys the idea that their happiness is contingent on your presence and, therefore, you are worth less. But, you're not. You're just not the center of the universe and that's okay. I mean, imagine the burden that that entails.

 

It annoys me when friends say that if you're still able to be friends with your ex then the two of you didn't really care about each other that much. I'm friends with prob 80% of my exes and the relationships were very real and very serious. Most of the breakups weren't too messy. We took the time to heal and then decided to be friends. I just don't get why that means that we didn't care about each other enough?
