You have to start accepting his offers and perhaps communicating your financing and making requests before spending your money. good people who offer gifts don’t expect things in return, if you learn otherwise you’ll have to dump his ass sooner or later.

No, we never hung out or got really personal with one another.

Fair. The mental turmoil I’ve been through with my parents has me second guessing all things, so it’s nice to get some unbiased reassurance.

Are you that bored and lost in the present that you think going back 10 years will fill some void?! It won’t.

I really dont know why I feel so weird about THIS one but u're probably right

This is a communication issue. You need to be transparent about your finances and what you are willing to spend money on.

If your income is a gray area, it's going to be incredibly difficult for him to accommodate you and your needs.

I think it's important for your future's sake to not hide things from him. Pretending you're not hungry is not an effective way to tell him that all of these outings are straining your budget.

With that said, you may want to look into why letting him cover you is so difficult and seek to find a compromise on this.

Maybe you don't go to as many ski trips, but you let him pay for most of your meals?

At the end of the day, you are a team and need to be able to effectively tackle this together. That can only happen if you're straightforward and honest with him.

A name isn't exactly evidence. Anyone can do that.

The end goal could be anything. What do you feel? Anything alarming you can think of that could dignify the accusation?

Like did yall ever hang out or talk about more friends things. No everyday chit chat with coworkers but like more things that would constitue a more than coworker relationship.

What types of things do you want him to say? This is very vague.

Well, you don’t need strangers to tell you the idea is ludicrous.

>Would you give your eggs to your almost 50 yo mom to have another kid?

Fuck no.

Tough situation, but I have been in your position before. Here's what was said to me that snapped me out of it: There doesn't have to be something wrong with the other person for the situation not to be right for you. You looked elsewhere for emotional fulfillment because you were missing something in the relationship you had. There's a solid chance that you asked for that stuff in various ways, but it was still absent.

You need to step back, take a very serious and clear look at your relationship, and make sure you're not glossing over the shortcomings just because you want to see the best in him. He could be a wonderful guy, and yet not the right guy for what you need and that's okay. Don't try to hang on or fight for something that was already incomplete just because you're afraid of starting over again. It WILL pass.

My first advice though would be for you to stop calling yourself stupid. The whole psych ward thing is way WAY too much. Give yourself a break.

I do not advise moving to another country for a significant other, especially at such a young age. Do you see a future in South Korea or elsewhere? What happens if things don't work out with your bf? Moving to a place where you know no one besides one person can be extremely isolating.

My advice is that you're part of the problem and you won't admit it.

When you do maybe you'll improve your situation.

It’s a kiss that happened a year ago and you’re in a relationship with someone else. It’s not a big deal, leave it alone.

Could you clarify a little what you meant? We were coworkers for a little under a year and he was always smiling at me and blushing and I thought he was interested in me. We’d chat about mundane stuff (work, video games, nerdy music). Neither of us ever mentioned our attraction to the other. I’m assuming based on his behavior that he was at least a little interested in me.

Unfortunately I wish this was a joke lol.

It’s really clear that you did not read my entire post and are here to project your own vitriol. I’m not going to bother trying to refute your baseless points.
