A lot of red flags in short succession. A lot of unnecessary drama injected into your life by rushing into things with someone who isn’t stable. You’ll have to set boundaries as far as what you need to be happy in a relationship. If he can’t give you what you need to feel secure, then it’s probably for the best, because someone else absolutely will. Whatever happens, use the experience to think about behaviors and issues to be on the look out for. Take your time and make sure the relationship you’re getting into suits your needs

Actually no. In fact, i have had doctors who insisted i take medication that i initially refused numerous times. So i took matters into my own hands and spoke with therapists who dealt with people that had aids and stds, on top of mental disfigurations.

At the end of the day. It can be a local support group for mil-vets or those who abuse alcohol. Cold case detectives and the like.

Or it could be a regular job. Sensitive to political issues and vigilant against harassment. Women go the gym. Men can as well. Martial Arts or social activities are also options.

And if it goes without saying. We can leave the world in the hands of Greta Thunberg or, ensure that children dont have to “speak” for themselves. Emotionally, i feel many people are not as mature as they think. Age could play a role but, some children in third world countries for example are indebted into work, whatever type it may be.

But you know. “I like to move it move it”

I honestly don't think it's a trap. Neither of them ever wanted to get married, and in fact I didn't either. We are also in complete agreement about such issues (religion, marriage, children,...) and we discussed them at the beginning because it was a big step and these issues are important.

But yes, I see the point that entering into a relationship right after such a long relationship ended was not a good idea. But at that moment it was just overwhelming and we both wanted it, because it just felt right..

One of my best friends is a lesbian, I fell for her before I knew but now i do, I don't feel rejected. What stays with me is that she was that lovely a person who to me without wanting anything from me.

I've got straight female friends where we have zero sexual tension too though, seeing them naked would be like walking in on my sister or cousin. That connection is definitely separate from sex to me, I've always been dragged away from a party or event by someone I just met because I was too dense to get the hint rather than relationships.

Jesus the baggage on this post is immense, why would you date somebody in a 15+ year long relationship in the first place, also several questions about that relationship, why weren’t they married, was it a personal reason or a relationship reason? I don’t think you need to be married after 15 years of dating if you don’t want to be, but it would be important to understand why before you potentially fall into the same trap.

Secondly why would you leave your relationship of 15+ years for a woman you met 4 months ago, cheating in a relationship that long makes more sense to me (not that either make much sense but I can at least see that cheating is a lapse and a fall into temptation.

I think somebody being that non committal(and I don’t mean in the relationship sense I mean in the decision making sense) is a pretty big red flag, maybe there’s more to the story you don’t know
