Girlfriend decided to make New Years Eve plans in the city with old male friend who has tried to fuck her before. Instead of plans with me obviously. Should that tick me off?

She isn't your girlfriend.

For the creatives here who work non-creative jobs, how did you make peace with that? And how did you find drive/passion/energy towards a non-creative job?
(…)

It took me a long time to realize that I'm more effective as a project manager, where I can help everyone be more productive, than I was as an artist or art director, where I could only affect the art team's efforts.

I'm making more time for creative efforts lately, and that helps. Doing nothing creative is very frustrating and my brain starts screaming at me.

Dunno if Atra is still banned, or if he's still lurking, but I read this Wired article the other day. Prisoners in South Carolina scamming people on dating sites by pretending to be underaged girls and then attempting to extort and blackmail them for cash. Mostly targeting military and vets. This one vet ended up killing himself before his family learned it was a total scam:

I fucked up big time last night bore bros.

I was a moron texting friends new years stuff on my phone while at dinner with my gf, her coworker and his fiance. Then at the bar after dinner when she called me on it, I got dumb, couldn't think straight and walked out. I fucking walked out on my gf on new year's and abandoned her in a bar. After I sobered up some and tried calling her she absolutely eviscerated me and my behavior not only last night, but a few nights ago on her birthday (when I made dumb comments about the place I took her being out of my usual price range).

I feel like total shit today, I didn't sleep at all last night and I don't think i can recover this. I am so fucking stupid and I hate myself.

She's going to be here in about 45 minutes to drop something off and has made it clear that she wants nothing to do with me after.

Man that sucks. I'll be honest but none of the two incidents sound terrible (of course can't judge tone or context really). Who doesn't get and exchange a couple of words on New Year's Eve via phone ? Depends on how much you weren't there and obviously walking out was an extreme response.

Saying a restaurant is a bit out of your habitual range doesn't necessarily strike me as something out of the ordinary. Especially if you chose the place and everything, I could certainly joke about that.

Not to give you any blessing or judge anyone but couldn't those accidents be more symptoms than cause ? Apologize profusely for walking out, maybe there's a possibility to talk it out though.

You sound like an asshole who doesn't respect his girlfriend and you're just now realizing it. Dunno if that's recoverable but the best and only move is to completely validate what she's feeling, verbatim, and apologize. Explicitly tell her you're sorry for doing the things you did, including anything you might now recognize that she didn't mention in particular, and that you're going to change. Also crank your sweetness up to 11.

More context, he previous boyfriend was much younger and relied on her entirely financially. When we go out she often pays for everything, no matter how much I try to split. She likes going out and doing nice stuff, the dinner we went to cost more per person than I spent on her entire birthday for example.

She told me to grow up and stop using my depression as an excuse for a lot of stuff, reminding me that she's had a pretty rough go of it in life and what not. Like sure, if we are taking score her life has been worse, but I think its a bit callous and non understanding of depression to think its something I can just "grow up and get over". If I could, I would have, years ago.

I know I haven't been a perfect boyfriend, I know I've made mistakes and I didn't set out to embarass or hurt her last night, but I also know I did. I have a terrible fight or flight instinct, I always run.

Also crank your sweetness up to 11.

I do respect her and I did feel like I was trying to show it, but you're right, I did not realize how big of a hole I had dug until it was too late. I don't feel right or justified with anything I did or said. It's not who I want to be.

I didn't think I was, but yes, I spent far too much time on my phone. It was obviously a problem. I couldn't really get much in conversation wise with the lawyers and the fiance and I did not have the great conversation compatibility.

I love to flex generosity too and I don't keep a precise count of what the split is (it feels right or it doesn't) but it is a bit of a strange behaviour she keeps paying everything even though you're more financially sound than her ex (or so it sounds). That's maybe peripheral to that whole affair, and maybe she's fine doing it but I would worry it would create a certain form of entitlement or self inflicted begrudgement.

I don't know if her attitude is callous, but as you know surely, it's sometimes very frustrating to deal with depressed people, a bit overwhelming and sometimes beyond the pretty trite "try to snap out of it" or limited support there's not a lot a partner can offer even with the best of intents.

You’re correct about all of that Vom. I get it, I sit and wallow and she’s what I’ve done and compares it to everything she’s accomplished with difficult circumstances and I just look like a child. And she just got done being with someone 10 years her junior who was worse than me. As much as I hurt right now, I know I brought this on myself.

Oh none of it was at you. I think where what I speculate and you say seem to converge is the idea that she, maybe unconsciously, is too much invested in being the "grown up", because of her previous relationship and maybe this one. I dunno, maybe that's not something you can mend, maybe it's unsustainable in the long run, but hopefully you will at least have a chance to speak about it.

I watched this whole clip. That was...interesting. Between Pryor's 42 on 15 and Williams routine being like 90% stereotype impressions, doesn't hold up too well. They're both amazing comedians, just maybe not this set these days haha. RIP to both legends.

I'm going to be real, bluemax, she sounds like a bitch.

I don't know about "bitch," but insisting on paying for everything and telling you to "grow up" about your depression and drawing comparisons to her own situation in her days and on her path DOES sound an awful lot like she needs to have control and is treating you as an inferior.

I guess it is just tough, because I was single for so long and found someone I thought was great finally. It has only been about 2 months so far and I'm not claiming I was perfect before this.

Aside from both working crazy demanding jobs, it sometimes feels we don't actually have much else in common. We have slightly similar musical tastes, but almost anytime I pick the music she either openly questions it or tells me later she didn't like it. She's basically reworked my entire apartment layout in the last month, going so far as to buy a couch (which I'm sure wasn't cheap) unprompted and also finding an end table that I paid for to go with my new layout. But like, my apartment certainly needed some TLC, I just don't know if I was ready to do it all at once like this. I sometimes feel like she only wants certain parts or aspects of who I am, and the fact that other things exists frustrates and disappoints her. She's a minimalist with very little stuff and I'm a nerd with stuff. She likes art, and literature and philosophy. And I don't dislike these things but I'm not well versed in them and I'm constantly looking things up because I want to understand her and talk with her but I don't know that I feel she would do the same for me.

I know that I have a fearful/avoidant personality type and I have been going to therapy and working on my issues, but I also know I am not there yet. I don't deny fucking up and it hurts to know I backslid in certain ways.

I'm a fucking mess right now dudes. I haven't really eaten for the past day, and I barely managed to get half a night of sleep last night after the night before being full of mini panic attacks. I've doubled up my dosage of my meds to try and get to some kind of working baseline again. I keep wanting to reach out to her and talk but part of me says I need to give her more time? I don't know. She's also supposed to drop off a late Christmas present and then that is to be the end.

She doesn't sound like fun, and absolutely not the right person for you.

2 months should still be the honeymoon period. She's acting and reacting like someone who's been with you for years and is exasperated.

This will only lead to a complete trainwreck, so better call it a day now. You don't sound like you need this shit.

I should probably also mention she was still living with the guy until about 3 weeks ago.

I told her before that I didn't want her paying for everything. I am not looking for a caregiver or a mother. I want a partner, I want to share. I appreciate her generosity but I don't know the correct way to reciprocate it.

I did abandon her, alone, on New Years. Let us not forget this because she never will.

I don't think she's actually angry at you. This is all just part of the codependent roleplaying  :-[

You screwed up, but this wasn't going to work out in the long run in any case.

I told her so many times that I was afraid I'd screw up and she always said she didn't think I could.

I guess realistically, I knew there wasn't a great chance of it lasting super long term but I thought I could grow, change and improve and maybe it would last awhile. I was single for a decade before I met her, I'm pushing 40 and it just feels fucking bleak out there. It's not even about wanting to be married, or have kids, I just hate feeling doomed to be alone. I thought after all this time alone I had improved myself but I feel like such a failure.

I mean no offense, but I think you forgot how to fall in love and so you're afraid that you must be actually doing something wrong. It's the years of insecurity that builds up and makes you convinced that you must renormalize yourself by letting people walk on you a bit. I've been there.

Move on and know that you did nothing wrong.

I've been hesitant to post this on here because I'd rather not be judged harshly by the bore. I am in therapy these days and it's been helpful, but well my doctor is on vacation for the Holiday, so I've been without an outlet and it's really sucked.

I've already talked about my first girlfriend on here and how it "ended". Well it didn't end. It well got pretty shitty months ago and then kind of rebooted.

I make no excuses about myself. I've got a problem and thats that I can get really angry and mad. Well what happen was that I was letting my insecurities get to me as I let something dumb really get to me in that it seemed she enjoyed the company of another dude over me. On XBL, it was dumb. But as I talked with my therapist it really was my fear of being replaced and it just festered so much. But as weeks went on and I tried to communicate that to her, because of whatever problems she was having on her end she wasn't having any of it. And well it exploded into a real heated argument where I said many mean things, meant to really hurt her. So much so that she felt I had had a psychotic break and threatened to get a restraining order. It may not make a diffrence, but I'm not a women beater. I've never laid a hand on her or threatened her life. But I was drunk and beyond mad at her ignoring me and seemingly chose someone else. It wasn't a good look and I felt terrible. I'm sure the bore will judge me as a psycho, but I'm not.

Either way a couple of days later she messaged me and well..we kind of rebooted. We discused what happen and kind of moved on. It was weird, within a week we kind of got back to talking and well her messages became super sexual. Lots of sex talk, sending pictures, and general things she had never done. She said she felt she needed to do this I guess to help the long distance relationship. I don't know it was weird.

And for months thats what it was. XBL playing, talking on the phone, and plenty of sexting. We talked about continuing and repairing things and about how much we cared about each other. I continued to work on myself and try to understand my insecurities, be more open with my problems, and just be a better person.

And things have been goodish...Some arguments, mostly about being open in communication and spending time but nothing earth shattering.

And then she came back for the holiday and things were seemingly ok. We've spent plenty of days together and have had plenty of sex. Saw Star Wars together. Spent NYE together. She's slept over. Things are ok...

But lots of things and thoughts are going on in my head and I feel like I guess sharing.

She went back to work at Target while she was here. I visited her(I don't work there) on Xmas EVE. You may not believe me, but I was pretty well liked at work. I have plenty of people I'm friendly with and I left the job there on good terms. Well when I went to talk to her, the head AP guy awkwardly came up to us and got in between her and me. So I decided to leave and he followed me out telling me to leave the workers alone as I don't work there. Well he awkwardly approached me once before a couple of months back when I was talking to a female worker. Well turns out my "gf" had confined in another worker about what had happen back during ground zero. And I guess the worker felt the need to tell AP. And now I guess to this AP guy I am a women beater/problem. I have never been a criminal and yeah this kind of shook me and I talked to my "gf" about it and she did'nt really care. She was mad that I seemed to be blaming her for it and that this was my fault and she had no interest in telling AP otherwise. I didnt really know what to think about this and I dropped it.

Our relationship is in a weird place as I start to really think about what I want. I recently had my good friend brought me and because he is in a sad co-dependent realtionship with a girl 10 years older then him, she had to come too. It was fine, but it was clear to me from watching them that I did'nt want that. She seemed to have no personality beyond being my friends GF. No spunk, attitudue. Just there and just a GF. I watch another of my friends do nothing put post relationship Facebook posts and snapchats with his gf. He has no life outside of her and has dropped his friends basicly. I don't want that. Relationships outside of romantic ones are important to me.

But at the same time I feel like my "gf" is ashamed of me and I'm just a shadow. I know a lot of these things are just in my head, but bear with me. She is a girl who loves FB and is really active on it and does not acknowledge me on there. She will not post pictures of us, won't let me post pictures of us, wont make status of us(she took a picture of the empty Star wars theater we were at to post pictures, but didnt say she was with me, but made sure to say she was hanging out with her good male friend on NYD). When we play on XBL it's isolated. She has to make it appear offline and I can never play with her XBL friends(my fault, but also not a bad thing. We need our separate things). She seems to have basicly not argued the negative impression her friends, family, and employers have of me. Again my fault, and I guess she has argued for me with her mom as shes freely seen me plenty of times this season.

Again, she has explain to me that a lot of this is result of the sexual abuse she sufferd. From what I can understand, I guess her abuse was tied to people also not listening to her and claiming she was a whore and wanted it as well. Then there was the whole quid pro thing she had during her college job and I guess it's just she feels like being in a relationship and having sex with somone is something wrong and to be ashamed of. So she has to fight that.

And I get it, but I also don't know what I want. Maybe it's ego, but I want to celebrate my relationship, not hide it. I want to do what normal people in love do. Maybe I'm shallow. I also feel though that many times she paints me as the bad person and doesnt really want to listen to what I'm trying to say.

I also still have a lot of insecurities. I actually have gotten better. I feel better about myself in general. I feel more calm about me and self assured.

But..I feel insecure as an romantic partner. I still have an ejaculation issue and a porn addiction. I feel like I'm unable to satisfy her even though she claims I can an do. I still feel insecure about her playing with her Cod friends( i guess her metting the dude was a lie), but I try to just do whatever and realize that it's been acknowledged, but it's nothing.


I don't know. With her here and all thats happen, I've had a lot of thoughts and questions on my mind. I enjoy her company a lot, but I don't know what I want I guess and I really can't figure out what to do.

Sorry but, didn't she jump on a married dude's dick a couple days after you broke up?

With all the rest, there are so many red flags it feels like a communist party rally.

you have to isolate yourselves playing XBL?

She's addicted to facebook but will flat out blank your relationship status?

Co-workers feel like you're harassing / beating her?

Just a few flags there.

This will only end badly for you sorry to say.

Apparently not.

I can upload the text she sent me. It’s not very exciting. Just her telling me he was driving through the area, that she doesn’t know what’s going to happen, but she is lonely and doesn’t have many friends so she’s up for meeting this guy. That whatever happens we should still talk and be normal.

Then later she went into some detail about the sex.

So she lied to you to hurt you or what was that?
