Someone saying they love you, but when the relationship requires work, conflict resolution, or growth, they opt out. That kind of quiet withdrawal can leave the other partner feeling like they’re the only one trying to keep the relationship alive. You have two choices accept your fate or hold your boundaries.
How to Start Over at 40 After Divorce

#divorce #startingover #relationships #life #Change
Sometimes I worry that I’m too annoying and text too much but then I remember being told that if someone really loves me they would learn to love me how I am, imperfections included and I think that’s beautiful.
Like yes I enjoy holding hands in public, yes I enjoy saying I love you in front of my friends and yes I will stare at you from across the room no matter where we are and yes there are some days where I feel jealous. I’m not ashamed to love someone and I don’t think anyone should be ashamed to love me.
I think therapy has really helped me come out of my shell and see that I deserve to be loved the way that I love, which is probably why I’m as happy as I am right now.
Porn-Induced Isn’t Just Hyperbole
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Z6qEoLecBZI
Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction is often dismissed as an exaggeration.
But the brain tells a different story. After reviewing tens of thousands of brain scans, a consistent neurological pattern keeps appearing. Dopamine pathways shift and arousal becomes conditioned to artificial stimulation rather than real connection.
Then the stories start surfacing. Thousands of people quietly describe the same struggle they believe is only happening to them.
Each brain is unique, yet the pattern emerging across men is strikingly consistent.
Porn-Induced ED Isn’t Just Hyperbole 🧠 👉 Appreciate Curtis Phillips for having me in this conversation. Bringing the neuroscience into everyday conversations is how real awareness starts.

Dating an Avoidant? Watch This.
If you’ve ever felt confused, rejected, or emotionally distant in a relationship, you might be experiencing avoidant attachment dynamics. In this short video, I explain how avoidant partners can make you feel and why this pattern happens in relationships.

To tell someone that you yearn for love so intense you cannot breathe, but the someone is just not it
i do think one harmful thing i find in this therapy book i have (and a harmful mindset in general) is that compromise is a good t hing and many situations can be resolved by each party giving some
funnily enough earlier i would have hated it because like. sometimes ppl are just in the wrong (this is still true) but now i still dislike that attitude because I think it should go further: further being, saying that “And sometimes the person in the wrong is you, reader”.
i get WHY its phrased like that. no one’s going to want to listen to a book that is telling people that sometimes they are the problem. its much easier to segue into that mindset with ‘sometimes you do wrong and other person did wrong’ (which is true sometimes) but.
sometimes im the problem, man. IDK.
This will help you to meet and pick up women by influencing the subconscious mind by means of suggestion. Using the method of autosuggestion, you will be giving yourself positive suggestions to meet women.
This method is very simple and very effective. Repetition is the main rule in making suggestions work. They should be repeated three or four times, or even more. These suggestions can be made verbally, though it is not necessary to say the words aloud. Just thinking them is enough. Some people respond better if they are said aloud, so you might want to experiment to see what works best for you. To make the suggestion more potent, you may form a visual image while making the suggestion verbally. There is a tendency for the subconscious to carry out any prolonged and repeated visual image.
You will be phrasing your suggestions using the words, “I can” or “I will.” Start out using the words, “I can” and if no results are shown, switch over to the words, “I will.” Remember, in giving yourself suggestions, acceptance by the inner mind is necessary or it will not be carried out, no matter how badly you may consciously want this.
Now I will recommend these suggestions for you to use. Pick out the ones you like the most or even make up your own. Any of them will work.
“I can walk up to any woman and start talking to her.”
“I can move into action quickly and easily when I see a woman I like.”
“I can approach a woman, totally free from all negative feelings such as worry, inferiority or nervousness.”
“I can make the first move when it comes to sex and follow my sexual urges and proceed to seduce my date whenever I feel the time is right.”
“I can bring a woman home with me if I choose to do so, when I go to nightclubs.”
“I can meet up any woman I desire.”
It is recommended that you shouldn’t burden your subconscious mind with too many suggestions at one time. Try to work on one suggestion at a time and never more than two. If using two suggestions, start with the first one and repeat it three or four times, then repeat the second suggestion three or four times, then go back and repeat the first suggestion.
Use this method daily and you will be meeting and picking up more women than you ever dreamed possible. You will be more confident than ever and meeting and picking up women will become natural and easy. Try this and see if your love-life doesn’t improve dramatically.
Also, I might add, you can use this method to obtain anything you want. It doesn’t have to be applied to just meeting women only.
In conclusion, remember the need for repetition and suggest results, not means.

I love my girlfriend, I’m happy when I’m around her. She’s funny, smart, and beautiful. As with any relationship, there are also things that bother me. Where I’m stuck is knowing what is acceptable to bring up, and what I have to just accept (or choose not to). It’s made more difficult by the fact that she’s a very self-conscious person. Criticisms against her really affect her, and I want to minimise hurting her feelings of course.
Firstly is her difficulties in looking after herself. She’s 26 now and living alone at university, but when I visit her, her room is often dirty, clothes everywhere, rubbish packets lying around. Not to an extreme level, but beyond how someone of her age should look after herself. We’ve already talked about moving in together one day, and I simply couldn’t live like that. I know therefore that this is one I must bring up, but how do I say that without making it sound like ‘you need to sort your life out’? She also quite often doesn’t brush her teeth in the mornings. She eats a lot of sweets, which is fine of course, but she should be brushing twice per day. It impacts me with sometimes not wanting to kiss because of bad breath, but again how do I say this without sounding controlling?
She also places a lot of importance on me being close with her friends and family. Initially I neglected this, but we maturely discussed it and I worked on it to a point where I think she’s really happy with it. When it comes to the other way around, she usually joins, but she says basically nothing (when around me she’s very loud and active), and often she gets upset at the end of the night saying she doesn’t feel like she fits in because 'everyone is cooler and more interesting’. I just would love for her to be herself around them, but she closes up and the night often ends up negatively with her being upset and dragging my mood down. I’ve really tried suggesting therapy, as I tell her she’s amazing she just needs the confidence to show it, but there’s always the excuse that it’s too expensive (I’ve offered to pay), or she doesn’t have time because of uni (she has a lot of free time).
This leads to the final point, and maybe the main one for me. She doesn’t have any hobbies. She loves doing stuff with me, and I love doing stuff with her, but I would like her to also have her own thing(s). I do a lot, including keeping fit and designing on the side. I’ve tried to not-so-subtly push habits or hobbies in the past, but it always comes back to no time or money, both of which really aren’t true. She has such a high screentime, mainly on tiktok.
She often speaks negatively about herself - her personality and her body. It kills me, I love her so much. She’s so beautiful and smart and fun to be around, but her lack of self-worth is making me constantly feel more negative about our relationship. I know my role isn’t to fix her, but it’s so obvious to me that if she ate a little better, found a bit of a hobby, maybe did some exercise, maybe went to some therapy - she would become sooo much happier, making us both happier.
Sorry for the long post, it’s just obviously the most important topic for me. I just don’t know where to draw the line. At what point do I tell her that if we’re going to continue (which I’m dying to do) then she needs to work on some things?
Just because something upsets someone doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing or that you shouldn’t say it. “I love you, but your lack of interest in improving your mental health is killing our relationship” isn’t a cruel or inappropriate thing to say. At the end of the day, nothing will ever change until she’s ready to change it. She’s clearly not. She shuts down when you try to point out basic facts like “it’s gross to kiss someone who never brushes their teeth”, refuses therapy with empty excuses, and generally does nothing to grow and improve. That IS killing the relationship, and it should. It’s fine to acknowledge that. It’s fine to give her the information she needs to save this relationship if she truly wants to.
Your compassion is really sincere and wonderful, but don’t forget to have compassion for yourself. I also suffer depression, and you know what I did when I was embarrassed by someone pointing out that it’s disgusting (and not good for your physical health) when you don’t ever brush your teeth? I started brushing my teeth. That way I wouldn’t have to be embarrassed by it again. Point being: the depression may be a driving reason, and it may make change extremely difficult, but it’s not an excuse. She is capable of change. She’s choosing to stay as she is.
So bear with me this post might be kind of all over the place but I need to see if potentially I make sense, if somebody specifically other young women feel the same.
So I’m freshly 22 years old and I’ve never been in a relationship i recently started “dating” casually I recently had my first kiss with tongue lol. And more I think about it more I think falling in love with a man scares the shit out of me and I’m wondering is love worth it ?
I just feel like having never been in a relationship the “experience” I have of it is everything around me, my sister’s relationships , my friend’s and I guess what I see online and in songs. I talk about songs because well this going to sound naive and probably dumb but I was listening to this song called “History of Man” which I feel encapsulates so much of what I always thought when I look at relationships around me. I feel like everything sounds so exhausting. The way my friends feel like they have to beg to have their man listen to them, the casual misogyny that seems to seep through every interactions. The way relationships seem to be beautiful and full of life and reciprocity til the man gets bored and acts like their girlfriends are inconveniences. I don’t understand it. And I know that it probably isn’t like that in every relationships but it feels like it is an experience that it common and accepted. That just makes me feel like ugh what is the point you know. I make sure to always have a foot out of the door when I talk to a guy what would I open my heart to anyone being in a relationship sounds suffocating it actually makes me feel claustrophobic. Like the person in front of me is trying go trick me? I talked about it to some colleagues who are older and they said I have some spiritual lock in me that I need to unlock. I thought I might be a little avoidant maybe, part of me is like oh falling in love must be nice I mean I know platonic love is great, relationships, connections are beautiful and make life worth it. I know they can be imperfect too, you can be hurt in them too but like the hurt in a relationship could be bigger ? I know I’m not like aromantic I know I could fall in love but opening my heart feels so scary and reckless. Maybe that’s the appeal ? I feel like closing myself so much I could be missing out, I want to love, know others and be known and all that stuff but at the same time it feels so scary and slightly disgusting to me? I don’t know does any woman understand and got over it ? Does it make sense ?
Why is it the more I try to push people away
for their protection the closer
They want to get my honesty withstood I
Unpinned grenade in my subconscious
Ever waiting to explode
If I cared I would push you harder away
For your safety selfishly I still as well
Crave connection. Continue as you knock
To let you in
Is it love or curiosity how
Can I be so detached from
People I’m meant to care for almost
Sociopathic muted estranged
Pulling back from hand reaching out
As I deserve harsh words over help
Conditional Kindness craved and rejected
It’s not you it’s me and I have
Layers of craziness painful and terrible
Left to untangle

The Relationships That Shape My Life and Leadership A philosophical reflection on leadership, resilience, and the human condition.
By D. L. Dantes | November 9th, 2025
people would say “that’s just how he is”. but at one point do they realise this person has no self awareness and hasn’t looked inwards? when are you going to hold him accountable? we shouldn’t feel like we should excuse those actions and hold their hand so they can have a glimpse of character development
