How do you prepare for rejection?
How long do you think you'd need to be with someone before you'd be willing to move across the country for them? I ask because I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and were talking about marriage, but I was just offered an amazing job opportunity in New York. My boyfriend isn't sure about quitting his job, which pays about half what I earn. I know I don't want a long distance relationship, so if he doesn't get on board with the move, we'll have to break up.
Any tips on how I can get ahead of the toxic influence my husband's new coworkers are having on him? We've always split household and parenting tasks, but I am the breadwinner. So, you can say traditional gender roles aren't a thing in our home. My husband started a new job a few weeks ago, and I guess the guys he works with have been giving him a hard time about how things are done in our home and doing their best to make him feel less like a man. So, we've been fighting over how we split the
Went out on a first date over the weekend. My date tells me to that previously she was in a 10 year on-and-off relationship with her college bf, and they are still in contact time to time. Def a red flag, right?
It’s my bf’s birthday tomorrow, but we can’t spend the day together. I want to send him something to his apartment, but it’s in a gated community and requires a door code. Do you think he’ll mind that I’m giving the door code to the person making the delivery?
🚩Biggest red flags you ignore at the beginning of a relationship when you really like someone?
You don’t, confidence is key. Like a boxer, you get back up and into the ring. You’re the best there is, expect to succeed
Expect nothing
Every relationship ends in rejection unless it's the one. It's no big deal
Are you saying rejection from a dating pool? Or Rejection while in a relationship already?
Gotcha. Well, if you’re already interested I’d say that you only need to be careful and go slow. Don’t let feelings be bigger than they need to be at this stage. Not sure if you have this person as a friend, if you never approached at all or what but in general, I’d say be direct. Not creepy lol but honest. “Hey, I’ve been noticing you for some time and I’d love to know you better” and see what comes back. If the person says, no thank you, than that’s great! You know you cannot invest in your current interest and move on. Don’t take personally, it’s not about you. See as literally a trial and error process.
You work on yourself till you become the 10/10 that has never ending options. Makes rejection a little easier.
You’ll still get rejected. But the difference is you won’t care as much when you have options.
