Yeah, I’ve been there before (I’m a dude), shit sucks. At that point you gotta cut things off. It might seem cruel, but hooking up with someone you know wants you for more just deepens the wound. They probably aren’t strong enough to take that step, so the best thing you can do for them is to be that strong one and cut em loose.
“Multiple.” Also to answer your other question: a person (especially men) wouldn’t want to date someone who had sex a lot with different people. Your “multiple, long-term relationships” didn’t work out, and wanting to try something new, have dig a deeper hole by essentially using this poor guy for his body.
yeah.. he was strong enough to cut things off and im proud of him for that. i honestly regret the whole thing, i guess I should’ve stopped it all when i realized i didn’t feel as cared for as i hoped, cuz i did consider working things out with him.. but I don’t know. i think this is for the best.
yeah, things get messy with these sorts of arrangements, but I’m glad you both made it out. now that it’s over, if i were you, I’d focus more on the positive experiences rather than whatever regrets or hurt you may feel over it, just because nothing good will ever come of feeling crappy about it
I apologize that my comment made you think that. I also apologize for the dog rebuttal. I am not saying you’re any less human by having a higher body count than others, although in society people may back off or be hesitant from entering a romantic relationship of those aspects if known. Additionally, I can only use what you give me, as I don’t know the entire story. Wdym “I think he’s sweet”? Is that why you slept with him 3 times? If not then why?
I appreciate the apology. And if that’s a reason for someone to stay away from me then so be it… And yes, ik you don’t have full context, but essentially I guess so? I also thought him and I could work but the more I got to know him (which again isn’t much cuz we still don’t know each-other well), the more I realized we just probably couldn’t. He told me he has the patience for this sort of thing, to figure it out with me, and I find that extremely admirable but it didn’t seem right
And as I previously stated, this was my first (and likely last) real hookup that was consensual. I regret hurting him, I tried to navigate the situation properly, but i guess I know now that I should’ve communicated my intent sooner- I just thought most assumed a hookup didn’t necessarily lead to romance, unless stated otherwise.
