gooseberry fool, who did this happen with on here? A couple of years ago someone’s partner created an account and started shooting back at their partner on here

JK I think. And maybe Skarjo. I think it's happened at least twice.

Yeah Skarjo's already been caught out once with that train.

I'm reticent to make judgments on other people based on one side of the story and Skarj kind of says himself that it's not necessarily the whole thing, but it certainly sounds like the relationship is hitting its natural end point. As someone said on the last page - if someone came and said that to you, what advice would you give them?

I don't think JK's missus actually joined, she just forced him to leave.

And when my ex turned up she was really rather reasonable IIRC. I think she just wanted a few old posts that had identifying information about her removed which is completely fair. She definitely wasn't dropping bombs which is frankly much nicer than I probably deserved from her.

It was KjGarly's missus who turned up taking names, saying about how his complaints about how controlling she was amounted to asking him to wear jeans when they were going to the theatre.

With regards to the current issue, I told her that things were over, but we talked about it a lot and we're going to try and work through it. As I alluded to, I do have my own gooseberry fool going and it's definitely not a one way street when it comes to the causes of issues in the relationship. I think the current situation is just a perfect storm for bringing out the worst of both our personalities and we need to be a bit more open about how to deal with each other.

So latest update on my weird escapades into the world of online relationships. I've been really close with this guy for the last month or so and my anxiety has started flaring up recently not really knowing where I stood with him and what he wanted. I started worrying that I wasn't interesting enough and he'd end up just stop talking to me since we're not really an official thing or anything.

I spoke to him and mentioned to him that I liked him at lunch and explained that I was worried. Thankfully while he said like he wanted his freedom and didn't really want to be exclusive with anyone he said he wants things to continue as they have been so I'm really happy with that outcome. While I would like to be in a 'relationship' to be honest I've been so happy over the last month with how we speak a lot, meet up a lot and he'll go out of his way to come see me and stuff that if it continues like this then I've got no problems at all. I've been feeling so happy every time I get to meet up with him and we've been spending a lot of time together recently too so I think because of that it made me anxious that I was going to strawberry float it all up.

I'm thankfully in a pretty good place and this guy is so much nicer than the previous guy, I've not had any red flags or anything. I'm just really glad I met him and now just hoping that things do continue as they were and we get to continue to have fun messing around together.

It's probably not a good sign if I'm watching the office and feeling more for a fake TV romance than my own right?

I've never broken up with anyone before, but it kind of feels like the right thing to do

Nothing is particularly wrong, she's really nice and amazingly chill and understanding, but she's also very insecure and just has zero passion for anything.

With my ex I was excited to see her every single day after work (before she got emotionally manipulative) but with my current GF it feels just like seeing a friend.

I'm just worried if we break up she'll find it hard to be friends with me and I don't want that, I don't have any proper friends right now so it would make things really difficult for me.

Anyone been in a similar situation?

How long have you guys been together?

Skarjo getting ready to move in for the kill

It sounds like you're staying together to avoid feeling lonely, which is a bad reason and unfair on her.

You're not meant to kill them.

Maybe that's why you're single.

We got talking online like just as the pandemic started, and met up a few months later, so like a year.

"everytime I get close to a woman, they just turn into ghosts..."

Skarjo: I'm bored of this one, how do I get rid of her?
Friend: Just ghost her
Skarjo: Got it.

God, I thought Tinder was bad before

Turns out having they/them pronouns in your profile + small town + Covid + not looking like a gym bro = hardcore difficulty

Also, since I've last used it they've take away the free daily super like you used to get which basically makes it impossible to get anyone's attention that you like.

Every time I scroll through the app it's just a ton of hetero normative women who like wine and Netflix, I genuinely get mentally fatigued using it, almost everyone on there (in my area) is awful

Halp

But what's wrong with wine and Netflix?

That's not a growth wrote:But what's wrong with wine and Netflix?

Wine and Netflix isn't a personality

There's women on there who complain "not just on here for a shag" and then proceed to offer no information about what kind of person they are, it's like, what do you expect the only people interested in you are going to be the shallow ones because the only information you've provided is visual!

Here's a list of things people on there seem to think helps describe what kind of person they are:

They like music
They like films
The have tattoos
They can make a good cup of tea
They like dad jokes and you should tell them one
They like drinking

I can't take it

It's hard to imagine why Fade is struggling.

I've got moggy on ignore but I'm sure he's trying to be nice and not taking a dig at me right?

*Looks*

What a shame Fade has me on ignore. Now I know how he must feel on Tinder.

I hope being mean to strangers on the internet helps fill that hole inside of you

Oh I almost didn't notice you miss-gender me right after I posted my pronouns, cheers for that too. What a stand up guy you are
