It’s fascinating how people treat the label of “boyfriend/girlfriend” like the equivalent commitment as “husband/wife.” I think we have overthought this whole dating thing to such a degree we’re not enjoying it anymore.

But she won’t because she’s afraid that he will leave completely

what’s the actual difference between seeing each other every weekend, being exclusive and in love and being “committed”? like what’s actually changing in the final step?

I followed the “how to end a situationship” step by step and just ended everything last week. It was the exact step by step that I needed to figure out it was time to end it.

Exclusivity is earned and requested. A mantra I lived by

I used to be a pickmeesha, have not been in a while. She is scared of disrupting the peace because she’s scared he will leave. Basically his needs go before her.

Sydney. I get it now. I finally get it. I’ve been following you for a while and I’ll admit I was always a bit confused by the “no therapy talk” idea. I always equated those conversations with closeness, deepening the relationship, etc. and think in past relationships, I had a lot of these conversations. I’ve started dating somebody new after a long period of time alone/single, and I’m experiencing what it’s like from the other side. We keep having these deep therapy conversations. Every tiny thing is turning into this big talk and conflict and conversation, and we’ve only been seeing each other for 6 weeks. And it’s exhausting. It’s so draining. I keep sitting here thinking: this is supposed to be fun. And it’s not. It feels like work. It’s a shame that it took this for me to realize it, but I just want to say, I get it now. Thank you for posting about this stuff!!! You’re doing gods work for real haha

I’ve been intuitively doing this for a while (not sleeping with someone who is not sure abt me/not committed to me) and I’m mostly single 🤣but it works in keeping the jerks away. the only reason some people have the audacity to ask for highest possible benefits with the lowest possible emotional investment from them (situationships) is precisely because there is a market for that: those who accept this. when all long term thinking ppl will collectively stop engaging w situationships, we’ll notice an increase in the quality of dating. I die on this hill

Not enough women do the choosing and wait to be chosen. Even if you want to engage in this, there needs to be a cutoff date for a fling and 9 months is 6 months too long.

This is something I had to learn. Because before I’d be so upset like why is he treating me this way and why isn’t this going anywhere? I’m such a good woman- karma will get him- gods got me- whatever I told myself. No ladies. Stop allowing it!!! He gets no karma if you allow it!!! Also letting someone treat u that way is just enabling him. Men seek out women like that so they never change. If no women allowed it they’d have to change or be alone!!!
