I think that communication skills are something that can be worked on in a relationship. But it sounds like his response is, I won’t do it again, rather than, let’s work on X together (or separately) and find a more constructive way of discussing things so that we can improve our communication in the future. I don’t know what the answer is, but don’t do the emotional work for him.
I’m listening to the audiobook!
I love Aziz. I started following him on Instagram after watching Master of None and he’s been posting pictures from Italy and Barcelona.
I think you’re generally approaching religion in dating in a positive way, LadyE.
I’ve seen both ways of considering religion in dating and my anecdata is that other parts of spirituality can be more important the specific religion/denomination. I know a couple where one is an Orthodox/very observant Jew, another deeply Christian, and they’ve been very happy together for some time. On the other hand, I had a friend in college who would only date observant Lutherans (plus had other specific ideas of what else she wanted in a partner). She didn’t date anyone in college. I’m actually not sure if she’s dated at all and she’s in her early 30’s now.
Agreed with the last 2, this is a thing for him not you. I know it’s a bit complicated because you have mutual friends, but it really does seem like it’d be best for you to go no-contact. This drawn-out drama on his issues is not your problem.
Ick, Stone, that is some bs. At least it’ll give you the kick in the pants to move on from this guy before he tries to pull something else.
For the gun thing, I grew up north of Chicago and that definitely seems weird to me to be pushing guns, but my area was relatively liberal. I didn’t touch or see a gun except at summer camp (riflery).
Austria is awesome! I went to Vienna with my mom and sister a few years ago and we had a great time.
Anyway, Nookie may not be going to Austin, but that’s where I am right now! Right in the middle of Uber and lyft suspending service. I’ll only have one day without a car, but I’m not looking forward to that… But I’ve heard good things about the biking culture?
I think you’re good, ktfran. My cousin wore something similar to that for my wedding and it was so different even though I had a floral print dress with a white background. I didn’t even notice until she made a comment on a picture she posted.
I probably won’t end up selling my wedding dress anyway. It’s not really wedding-y (white, blue, and purple floral ball gown), so I’m not sure anyone would buy it on preownedweddingdresses. Plus I didn’t really pay that much for it in the first place, got it for 60% off a month before the wedding…
Omg, the crazy on Kate’s Poshmark is epic. Highly recommend. I’m definitely not going to sell my wedding dress on there. Maybe some purses, though… There’s a lot of requests for trades on there!
Sure! It’s mostly coach bags my mom bought for me and I never used them. I can’t sign up for Poshmark at work (oh government computers), but I’ll totally look later tonight. (And if you want to email instead of putting put your username here, [email protected] goes to me.)
Haha, sounds so polarizing!
By the way, I’m trying to cull my purse collection – does anyone know where to sell nice purses online?
I’d also like to qualify that a little – it’s the only relationship I know in real life that’s come of Twitter*, and he lives on the West Coast so I’m not sure if there’s a regional difference.
By the way, I found out the other day that you can max out your number of swipes per day on tinder.
*haha, typo, supposed to be tinder. I don’t know any relationships that have come out of Twitter…
