hello everyone. every time i stare at my collection i used to get excited but now i don’t. i want to either just sell them or give them away but i feel like people do not buy used squishmallows. do they?
my ex tried to control who i hung out with. we were long distance for 1.5 yrs, but i had to break up with him. i blocked him on everything and he texted and called multiple times but i never answered, i sent him one final message but that was it. i feel so guilty, i was dating for so long but i had to do it over text or i would fold again. i am such a jerk for this, i feel so terrible. i miss texting someone everyday and playing games on xbox. i feel so bad and lonely. i genuinely don’t know what to do. i can’t sleep and just want to reach out. i know he is heartbroken, and i feel so guilty. i want to spend time with him again but i know i cant. there were many things in our relationship that were bad and i don’t want that to repeat itself, and i know it wont change. i genuinely don’t know what to do

for the update, i read through many of your comments. i appreciated the positive ones and the links people sent me for books. i had a long conversation and ended things with him. i don’t really want to get into details of the conversation, but it was really difficult because i struggle with conflict and like to push everything to the side to avoid an argument between others or me. thank you everyone for the advice and i am now single. it feels really weird typing that, but we were long distance so i won’t be seeing him around which is good. i appreciate all of the advice and jokes you all gave. thank you all again
my (22F) boyfriend (23M) keeps saying things referring to my iq. i know i’m not the smartest sometimes, and i do struggle with things. when i will ask him something he will say “don’t think too much about it” or “you wouldn’t understand if i explained it” he’s buying pc parts and i don’t know much about those. i feel like him explaining it is just kinda annoying so he doesn’t really want to? i don’t know
he has never seen family guy and i was telling him sometimes peter is more of a “head empty no thoughts” kinda guy but he can be smart when he really needs to be and he said “aww like you”
when we argue he just sighs and tells me to stop being so dumb or stop being fkn stupid. we play many games on xbox together and sometimes i struggle with the controls (i am pretty new at playing) and he gets upset with me
he tells me it’s just rage bait, but we have had multiple conversations where i ask him to stop because it makes me feel less than. he knows i get rage baited easily, and thinks it’s funny to do so. it’s so annoying and makes me upset and uncomfortable, he doesn’t really understand sarcasm so i have to watch my tongue because he will get upset (it could be a language barrier considering english is not his first language)
is there ANY other way i can talk about this with him? i don’t want to breakup, but it feels like i’ve tried everything
hello, i will try to make this post quick and a short-ish read. please let me know if you need more information.
my dad doesn’t like my boyfriend for certain reasons (they are valid) and says that guy is (insert any bad name here) and is telling me how dangerous it is to go right now especially because i am white, blonde, and blue eyes and that he has an extremely bad guy feeling about this.
i can understand it completely. but everything is already booked. i’m planning on meeting his extended family, i have gifts that i specifically bought to give to them (some are expensive and that they paid me to bring from my country and shipping would be a nightmare)
i love my boyfriend, but it’s also a thing where i don’t want to ask anyone for advice so i let all of our issues simmer. i have a therapist and i think she wants to tell me to breakup with him but can’t directly say it.
my sister dislikes him, and i think my mom is hesitant too. it’s hard to get to know someone when they’re 1,500 miles away. but they really don’t have a good impression of him after a year.
he’s said he’s not fond of my family for how they treat me. i’ve always been a people pleaser and have always gone with what my parents have asked me to do with no hesitation. but my dad has been reading articles and watching live feeds and is worried and if i do go he wants me to go to a resort instead but everything is already booked and paid for (by me).
is it bad that i’m reconsidering my trip?
edit: they don’t like him because he has anger issues and has said rude things to me and made accusations against me and others in my family/circle
