Devil's advocate: if you are his type and he's tired of you, what's stopping him from just finding another girl who fits his type and replacing you with her? I've seen a man with a "type" do this, twice. Types are something that's generally tied to attributes of someone out of their control. Not everyone has a type, and as someone with a type myself, I absolutely branched out when I was dating and it wasn't my end all be all. Vetting for other things is a better bang for your buck imo.

I really didn't want to go out on a limb but the few times I've gandered across the media hall over to created content, it's been someone spewing an anger-phase-esque paranoia of weirdness and left me really confused. My favorite was a podcast where this guy said he wouldn't LTR a girl unless she deleted all her socials, had a picture of them together as all her wallpapers, deleted all numbers of men who weren't family members in her phone, kept a picture of them together in her wallet, can't be…

Gunna be honest here: unless it's like Rian Stone, and even his content is worth watching with a grain of salt, I don't think it's worth putting much investment into any videos of someone on YouTube talking on the matter and branding themselves as "RP" has to say. YouTube channels, podcasts, tictoks, and Instagram are all monetized around views. People promote products and make money one way or another off their follower base. People have been known to pander to a user base to keep the wheel goi…

He got upset that I’d be using our clippers because if I nick her then would I need to throw them out because of the contamination (we have to wear gloves when doing her laundry and be careful of an exposure to bodily fluids). I was frustrated because he totally missed the point of this being an incredibly emotional moment for my mom and myself. I don't think this reaction is stoicism. I think it's compartmentalization. You're going through a really rough patch here, and to a limited extent, com…

If you are uncomfortable with how fast this is physically progressing, the changing the setting where you have been meeting him might be a better way to go. Think about it. You're meeting up with a guy in his bedroom multiple times and there's only so many things to do in a small private room with just a bed and a chair.

Maybe it's the metaphor, but this feels too argumentative for me. Whenever conflict arises, it's always been he and I vs the problem and never me vs him. In prior relationships, I feel as though my ex husband was forcing the judge and jury role on himself and I was fighting to be heard.

I left my ex husband when he was at the beginning of his journey, but I had little faith. That person had an established pattern of starting things and not finishing them. When I read in TRP that the height of a woman's attraction to a man is early on in a relationship and it could only go down from there, that resonated with me back then. I couldn't imagine ever getting back to the early infatuation days. I have no regrets in my decision, but I'll never know if he made it to the finish line I g…

A lot of them seem to start cheating at some point. A lot of the marriages seem to dissolve, and a lot of the bitter resentment spilling into those threads and askMRP make me feel lik…

I'd wish he would man up and deal with his problems instead of leaving us. When he left his home country, did he build any friendships in his new one? I imagine leaving one's home country has to feel extremely alienating after a while. If you and your family are the only thing he has, it's perfectly reasonable to see why he might feel as though he has nothing to look forward to. Is there anything keeping you and your son from coming with should he go? Is that an option for you?

His following of RP should have nothing to do with a someone's vetting decision. There are good men who happen to follow TRP, and there are good men who don't happen to follow TRP. Not all good men follow RP. In fact I'd argue most RP guys aren't good men. Most men turning to RP do so after not having a good time dating, getting burned, or feeling taken advantage of. Ultimately, dating someone following TRP is a high risk - high reward strategy. It's very risky and it's not really something I'd …

There are like 4 pairs of Cole Haans at or below $80 with a simple Google search. Nike either owns Cole Haan or they have a partnership because Nike Air inserts are frequently advertised as a feature of Cole Haan shoes. I'm not sure where you're accustomed to shopping but I almost never spend more than $50 on a pair of shoes with very few exceptions.

He said he'd be ready to cohabitate in 3 years so, unless cohabitation means start a family too, it might be much longer before he's going to be in "start a family" territory. It might be worth seeking clarification unless it was something I'm misunderstanding. Ultimately you're going to have to decide which is more important: can you live without starting a family until you are older than 32? If not, then it's worth noting that you're most likely not going to change his mind.

You said you never got attention until you edited your nose, but there's something to be said for being an approachable person in general. There's really attractive people who don't get approached because they carry themselves in such a way that it filters out the people they'd be interested in. It might be worth looking into ways of being more approachable in general. I understand your nose is a pain point for you and looking at the way it looks in photos doesn't appeal to you, but when your ap…

I like you but I'm not sure about how my life will go ( he was talking about him thinking about moving abroad ) and I don't want to tie myself to a relationship, and that once you take that step, going back from there is never good and could ruin what we have? Translation: he doesn't want anything more than an ongoing casual fling with you. He may tick all your boxes but you either don't tick all his or he has no intentions of settling down any time soon. Sorry, it's time to move on.

So... I have learned this over the years. When wearing glasses I can't do my makeup the same way I'd do it if I was wearing contacts. Not just for eyesight reasons but aesthetic purposes too. I basically have to play down the eyeshadow a lot and play up the blush more and wear a bolder lip stain. (I typically go bare lips or with a very light lip gloss) Think sexy librarian/secretary. I also typically wear more bronzy blushes with contacts but more pinky like Nars Orgasm work better on me when I…

The wet ones hand wipes and hand sanitizer. If you throw a few drops of contact lens solution on your hands after that and wipe with a paper towel or something they're usually sufficiently clean. This is dating me, but there was a time when we had to rub the contact lens solution into the lenses themselves because it was cleaning the lenses. It's been reformulated to not need to do that over the years. My first optometrist always told me to kinda wash my hands with the solution before doing the …

I buy Mylar ziplock bags and pre-saturate all my skincare on Japanese cotton pads when traveling so I can clean my hands and take a cotton pad with product already on it and use it on my face. I bring chemical exfoliant and various moisturizers so I use a sharpie to mark which is which and that works quite well.

Bravo. This is great in social situations, but it shines most in situations where actual shit hits the fan. The more this gets mastered in when it's not serious, the easier it will be to give her no choice but to calm the fuck down in the event of an actual crisis so you can get shit done.

His actions won't dissuade the right buyer, but they will result in the right buyer possibly issuing an eviction notice if they feel the tenant occupying their newly purchased property is a danger to its valuation.

The wording doesn't really matter. "If we don't do x by x, I'm leaving." is an ultimatum, no matter how kindly the words are arranged. The subject (fertility) isn't an exceptions clause to this either. Him not keeping his word wasn't brought up in the original post, but it still doesn't change the fact that an ultimatum was used and it still doesn't deem the situation appropriate for this type of tactic.

Think about what "I can't do it anymore" says: "I can't go on in my life without x." It's the root of the problem. It's communicating a need. It's truthful. It's not placing unfair expectations on the other person. Think about what an ultimatum says: "Do it, or else." It's not the ultimatum itself that is the problem. It's the consequences of this action. The action itself is an attempt to change someone when we all understand we can't change others. I can hardly see how a healthy relationship w…

Spoiler alert: |someone who cheats on his wife with you isn't exactly marriage material.| If you are not attracting the people you are attracted to, then maybe it's time to look a good hard look in the mirror and think about your actions, how you carry yourself, and how you go about dating, because that all plays a huge hand in who you attract.

It's a huge help to have someone to text "Hey are you puking a lot" and have someone on the other side going "OMG YES IT NEEDS TO STOP!" Nobody will understand what she's going through like people in those groups would.

I don't think moving her in will make it better. It will stress you out worse. Is she tracking her side effects anywhere? Sometimes with chemo, the side effects are a little unpredictable and there ends up being a trail of meds that follows to chase the side effects down. Has she been connected with a therapist? Facing your own mortality is a huge mindfuck, for lack of better terms and if there's a time for a therapist, it's this time. This is an attack on her life and her femininity. Everyone h…

Might have been the wording that threw me off. It feels as though you were conveying the decision to reject was born in neuroticism, not rejection as a reaction to being approached by someone she's not attracted to. The paragraph I quoted feels as though it's arguing the former. Good shit. Liked the hot soup.

The deepest, darkest secret about game, and something most men do not understand, is that women often reject men not because of a lack of attraction, but because of their neuroticism. In other words, women often do not reject you because they do not like you, but because they are afraid you will reject them. Women are extremely insecure (insecure just means the fear of being rejected by the tribe), so women assume they are rejected by default constantly interpret little things men do as rejectio…

If one of you isn't willing to take on a more masculine/dominant role and the other isn't willing to take on a more feminine/submissive role it would be hard to apply a lot of things here tbh. It's not out of a lack of inclusivity, it's just that the tools and the language are so very much entangled in the balance between those a dominant/submissive relationship dynamic and we have a hard time trying to detach the connotation of feminine/submissive being associated with passivity as it is.

And you had sex with him for the first time after he cheated and then had an on-again-off-again thing for 9 months? Are you sure you both were on the same page about the relationship being exclusive? It's neither here nor there because you said you broke up, but neither of these people seem like they're worth your time and he told you who he is very early on. When people tell you…

I see what you're saying but I worry there's a bit of confirmation bias in there and I'm not convinced this is anything groundbreaking or worth editing the content that's already there. Back in the day when loyal feminine women abounded, saying "woman" would simply be synonymous with saying "loyal feminine woman". However, we are seeing the fallout of what happens when there are no loyal feminine women for men to chase after: they withdraw completely, not just from the relationship market, but f…

You've met one person in the flesh. You know he's real, and you've been able to vet his actions in person. When dealing with an internet persona, even with phone calls, there's a lot of negative space for the imagination to fill in the gaps, and when meeting the person behind the persona, more often than not, the person doesn't meet the image the imagination creates. Problem is, there was a lot of time dedicated to this persona, and it's very easy for the sunk cost fallacy to seep into this situ…

I think the desperation might be adding to the pressure on him, and sometimes that can have an exponential affect, which makes it harder to find the motivation to do things when it feels like nothing is going right. That's part of why getting him out with men to do man things helps, and that's also why I brought up trying to get him to do man stuff around the home. My friend's husband was in the dumps and after a weekend of helping his buddy fix his car, he was right as rain. You mentioned churc…

That's also important information, but is it just because he took the summer off to reset? Did he just start skipping class? Did he drop them all? Did he register for the upcoming year?

OP, I saw it mentioned elsewhere about you both being in University. This is an extremely important detail which affects a lot of things. I'd almost recommend editing your post to include this detail because it will greatly improve the quality of the advice you're receiving. If you both have enough funding to be housed without working, him focusing on his studies might be a better move in the long run for now.

How's your social life?

That's a case by case thing. In OP's situation, there's no ongoing pattern here. She mentioned him being unemployed for a season. That's really not long in the grand scheme of things. There's also no evidence of abuse. Just a cranky man. They don't appear to have a social support system. This is something that could help and should be explored before going nuclear.

When this is over you both need to work on developing a social life. A lack of friends could be contributing to this mess. The more you "support" the more it might add to this down spiral. The others have mentioned hitting rock bottom. Sometimes that needs to happen. Men like feeling needed, and he's probably not feeling very needed right now, despite being more needed than ever. Getting him out of the house and doing man things with man friends is usually the best way to get him out of a rut. I…

Gotcha. Those are really hurtful words to hear, especially from your life partner. My ex-husband did something similar and it didn't feel good. It didn't work out for us. That doesn't mean it can't work out for you two. In terms of answering the question in your post, when he threw those words out there, he took the ball and put it in his court. Everything right now is on him. It's not your job to police him on this journey and it's not your job to read his mind either. If he's where I think he …

Out of curiosity, when you said "he threw a RP" at you, what happened there?

This can all be extremely overwhelming. Don't forget to take deep breaths! Change is scary, but it sounds like you've got a lot on your plate and letting some of that off will be a huge cathartic relief. Don't be afraid to relax and take things in! Rome wasn't built in a day! Have you read The Surrendered Wife yet? If not, that might be a good next step.

First of all, welcome. :) Second of all, don't ever feel bad or regret doing what is best for your family and kids. You were doing the best you could with what you had. There are plenty of people with all sorts of different lifestyles here and some things work better for some than others. It sounds like the important thing is you and your husband seem to be recognizing things aren't working as they are, and that is the first step towards figuring out your paths forward. Thirdly, everything at th…

Whether it's with women or friends or the younger members of my family passing through town, I generally (a) pick the restaurant, and then (b) establish at the beginning of the evening that "it's on me" and "have whatever you would like." If concern is expressed on the part of the other person(s), I usually say "Don't worry; I'll make more." This is an excellent example of when not to offer to pay, but when someone's not applying LMR avoidance techniques to the finances of the date, things can b…

I think it's when someone reaches across the table to grab the check but doesn't actually mean to grab the check

Say two people are on a date and the check came and she pulled out her card, 100% willing to pay or go dutch. If he insisted to pay, she says "thank you" and puts her wallet away. Just curious, what about that is offensive?

Yep. In some ways paying felt like a safety measure especially on the off chance I ended up on a date with "a perfect gentleman" in text who gave me the vibe they were paying for dinner with the objective of getting "repayment" later.

It's 2022, not 1952. Message first. Offer to pay. Be the first one to talk about safely taking it offline if that's where it started. Suggest the meeting place. Don't overthink it with these sorts of things. Not long ago, "traditional" meant the man told the woman's father he was interested and the next thing she knew she might be on a date with a man she doesn't care for. The rules have all changed and all the minor details about who's paying and who messages first should be thrown out the wind…

CHECK OUT THE TODY APP. It gamefies cleaning. Other hacks to make cleaning feel less daunting: Maximize your trips. Have to go to the bathroom? What within reach belongs in there but isn't grab it and put it away on the way! Another helpful thing is to just set a 5 minute timer and start cleaning something. If the 5 minutes is up and you don't want to do it anymore, at least you dedicated 5 minutes to it. Sometimes you end up on a roll and want to keep going. That's a victory! Throw a cleaning a…

I'm cool with it. I think I might have something to add, such as the conversations and actions in the year leading up to his proposal which ironically mirror the running themes in that post, but my time is limited at the moment.

I don't think this is shit-testing. At closest to to shit-testing, it's compliance testing, but this doesn't fit that mold either. Most likely, if related to anything at all, it was a form of game to get your hamster spinning. Sounds like it was successful. To be honest, it seems like your reaction was entertaining and he was amused by it so he kept trolling you.

Your friend is right. Don't ask. Let him bring it to the table. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything, though. You have options. This is a vetting opportunity for you. Just tell him you really like him and you're having trouble not imagining a future without him. Hell, tell him "I want to be your girlfriend." Or "I've never felt like this with anyone before." Whatever it is, make it honest and make it vulnerable. Can you trust him with that kind of vulnerability? The idea probably feels un…

I had no idea he was gone. Which means he's probably not going to see this and if there's anyone I owe thanks to the most it's probably him. 🥲 I didn't realize your post was specifically for me; I don't know how I could express my gratitude or happy tears to know this. I was at a point in my life where everything demolished itself: my house, my credit, my career, my support system, my health, my professional network, pretty much all my "friends" and even some family. Many internet strangers all …

Honestly, besides the sidebar, I've got these three things: First and foremost, do everything you can to develop and maintain a growth mindset. Everything about personal growth, managing a relationship, and being able to navigate life for the past half a decade or so for me has boiled down to realizing how much someone's mindset can affect outcomes. Second, what really matters in this life is not where you are relative to your peers, but where you are relative to yourself when you first began. L…

YOU'RE STILL AROUND! Your "from plate to wife" post was the thing that started it all for me.... and 6 months or so ago I went looking for you and realized the account I knew you by was also deleted and I was terribly sad. So much of this post was for you and I'm so happy you read it. Sounds like you're doing well too, I'm glad to see it!
