The guy I’m dating and I were talking about something important and he was trying to warn me about the dangerous people I used to be associated with, and if I stuck Around they would’ve hurt me. he was explaining how he knows from his own personal traumatic childhood. I was getting frustrated about it so I said I didn’t want to hear it anymore, and I didn’t mean about his life but about my wrong judgment which was my mistake, then he got really mad because he felt like I wasn’t listening and said before he hung up that he hopes they r*pe me. For some reason this really upset me and I’m almost hysterically crying and couldn’t stop for awhile. We have spoken since and he sincerely apologized. I know he didn’t mean it but idk why thinking about him saying that hurt me so much. Like if someone else said that I’d be like screw them. Or maybe be upset by it but I don’t understand my hysterical crying. I’m not sure if my reaction is an overreaction and if it is, why? I also am not sure if th

Thanks in advance for the help. I went on a date last Thursday, it went really well. We went to an old-timey arcade, then out to dinner, then chatted at a bar until closing. I walked her to her apartment and we kissed. We were out for about 7 hours altogether. We’ve been chatting since then and it’s generally gone well, except for a few things: We’re flirting and the conversation has generally gone well, but when I brought up a 2nd date, she kinda dodged by asking another question. I think it’s just that she’s not ready to commit to a second date yet, either because she’s not sure or because she’s going out of town this week and wants to wait to see if she has time when she gets back on the weekend. She may also just be trying to keep me going/keep the conversation going. What do you all think it is? She hasn’t responded to my last message, and it’s been about a day. ( link to last message here ) Do you think it’s appropriate to text again, either something lighthearted or trying a

My last relationship made me distant from all my friends it had me so busy and i dont have much going on in real life due to that. Ive tried a few dating sites and of course tinder. But here is where im confused, why are so many women demanding money? Were on a dating site but over half of the women i talk with ruin it by looking at men as an income. Its the equivalent of an unwanted dick pic in my mind. Rant over.

Seriously like, why are they so bothered by our existence July 19, 2022 at 12:24AM

We have known each other for about 3-4 years, starting off as friends that have slowly developed to more. One thing led to another and we have been living together for a little over 6 months. The last few weeks or so we’ve been having a really hard time. Due to some explosive family drama on my end(a clingy, controlling, borderline abusive, ill parent causing problems), he moved out. Not by choice, but necessity. It’s definitely been a downswing for us. I’ve been incredibly anxious, angry, and stressed while trying to sort my life out in the aftermath. We’ve been fighting non-stop. He asked for space, but given how abrupt and chaotic everything has been, I’ve been having a hard time giving him that and he’s been angry with me. I know it hasn’t helped the situation at all. I have some major childhood trauma and family dynamic issues I’ve been trying to work through independently and with counseling. I have a long way to go, but I am trying. This whole situation has triggered some ab

we only have a month left of long distance. we decided to be exclusive before he left but not official. he hasn’t replied to me in almost 2 days. the last 3 months I’ve known him we have texted at least once a day. do I wait until he texts me or just text him? do I just start a convo or ask if everything is okay? how do I set a boundary that texting/checking in is something I need in a relationship?
