I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/cruiser543 Originally posted to r/Waiting_To_Wed Just lost my mind at my boyfriend Thanks to u/soayherder & u/queenlegolas for suggesting this BoRU Original Post: December 29, 2024 We are together just over 4 years, lived together for just over 2. I’m 25 and he’s 27. His brother just proposed to his girlfriend of 2 years, and as happy as I am for them, I also got angry as I thought that we’d be engaged before them! I sat him down this past September and very strongly expressed my desire to get married, he gave a very vague response that he wasn’t ready yet but was feeling more positive towards it as time goes on… I feel like I’m banging my head against a brick wall. He’s had his issues which are getting a lot better now, but this situation is constantly making me feel like I’m not good enough to be proposed to. But I’m a catch!! I cook, I clean, I make sound financial decisions, we split the bills 50:50 (renting), I have a good paying job for my age and career prospects, I plan surprises, I make an effort with my appearance and I am not bad to look at - I actually had a very active dating life before I met him so I know I’m not an ogre, not that it should matter anyway. These past 4 years have been lovely but I’m ready for the next step. I used to be a lot more ruthless when I was dating around, but I’ve gone soft and obviously I love him and the thought of leaving is painful. But the alternative, a long dating time with no real commitment (in my eyes), is painful and humiliating …. So tonight I burst into tears and asking him to call it now if he has no intention of proposing. He sat quiet while I ranted and raved and I finished with ‘if you have no intention of proposing that’s fine but please stop wasting my time’ to which he looked at me and responded with a solemn ‘okay’. We haven’t spoken since. In the early days he would never let me get upset without comforting me, but now it’s different, he lets me cry alone. :( EDIT Ok I got a lot more than I bargained for with this post. Thank you to everyone who’s weighed in and given me some tough love, I really appreciate it. I’m going to delete Reddit for a little while as it’s slightly overwhelming when a chorus of 100’s of people are telling you to leave your relationship 😅 but hopefully I’ll be back to update you soon. Wishing you all a wonderful 2025, whatever it may bring 🫶. Relevant Comments OOP should consider about moving out of the place OOP: I would move back in with my mama at the point of breakup, her door is always open for me :) although that would be a temporary solution until I found myself a place / a roommate. I’ve never moved out of a shared home before as he’s the first partner I’ve ever lived with, and honestly the logistical side is as daunting right now as the whole emotional side. I need a little time to get my ducks in a row, and because I’m scared too. Baby steps I guess Commenter 1: You’re playing the role of a wife and not making him feel like he has anything to gain by marrying you. I literally just had this convo with my fiancé today. We’ve been engaged for a year with no steps towards actually planning the wedding, so I finally sat him down and after a heated argument he later apologized and said getting married hasn’t been on the forefront of his mind because he sees me as his wife already. These men get too damn comfortable ngl and then don’t feel like there’s any rush because they’ve already got everything they want. OOP: You know, I think this is it. He thinks I’m his fiancée/wife already because our lives are so entangled. Well I don’t remember being asked to be either of those things!! Commenter 2: I wish your title was 'I just lost my mind at my boyfriend and left him because he's been stringing me along for years' I note you're 25yo and were only 21 when you began this relationship. You have your whole life ahead of you, so stop wasting your time with someone that's made it clear they do not want to marry you. PLEASE LEAVE HIM. Before you begin dating again try to take a year finding yourself, enjoy life alone and with friends, travel, Etc. Ask yourself are you hell bent on finding a husband because: it is society's expectations, do you feel you're not whole person without being married? I ask because you listed a litany of things you do to make him want to be with you and marry you - and nothing about things he does for you to prove he's worthy of you and your love. I didn't know it's supposed to be a competition of which sibling gets married first regardless of the age of siblings. And without knowing I'm assuming that reason you're so upset is whatever the age of his sibling - he was in his relationship less time, and already getting married versus your boyfriend has made it clear he he doesn't want to marry you after four years. If your main goal in life to feel whole is to be married, if you would have left after the first year or so - more than likely would have already found someone more than happy to marry you - instead of living and hoping to marry someone who made it very clear early on he's stringing you along. It amazes and saddens me how it is mostly always women on here of all ages, and how many that are begging the men in their lives to marry them - after spending years and years waiting and living in a state of hopeful suspended animation with multiple ultimatums always moving the goalpost and not feeling their worth. OOP: Thank you for your down to earth advice, I really appreciate it. Don’t get me wrong, my boyfriend is a great man, treats me wonderfully (except when it comes to marriage talk..) and I love him very much, which is why I want to marry him and be with him forever. He struggles intensely with confidence issues and ADHD, and is a little bit lost in life. I’ve been pouring my energy into trying to help him for years. He’s come on leaps and bounds with his ADHD journey, he’s in therapy and now medicated, but I have had to push him SO hard to get to this point. His upbringing was difficult and he has a lot of trauma from that, his mum and dad were constantly on and off so I guess he doesn’t know what real commitment looks like? I love him so much and I feel like if I leave I’m giving up on him. But I need to prioritise my life at some point. It’s just a shit situation all round Commenter 3: Pretty sure you guys broke up…. In any case, you should end things (because he will never give you what you want, and even if he changed his tune now, you would be carrying resentment). It sounds like you are doing everything a wife would do for him without requiring any of the responsibilities he would normally have to take on. He is at fault but you should also recognize your part in this. The benefit of marriage for a man is having someone look after the house, look after his meals, and look after his sex life. As a bonus you also looked after his bills. For him, getting married just means he will need to be liable to you legally. A man who loves his woman fully will want to get married because committing publicly to loving one woman forever is the dream because it’s his dream girl. An opportunistic man on the fence just sees it as limiting his future options and opening himself up to legal risk. He sounds like a bad boyfriend to be honest. Minimally a bad boyfriend for you. Why do you even want to marry him? It sounds like he doesn’t provide, doesn’t keep house, doesn’t provide emotional support, doesn’t share your beliefs and desires for marriage. Both of you are young, it’s not unreasonable to not be engaged yet, even with dating for 4 years. Your brain literally only finished developing this year. You have grown to be with him, it will be good to separate and gain some perspective dating as a fully formed adult for a bit. I think you might surprise yourself in what you end up learning about yourself. You said it yourself, you’re a catch. So go find a better pond. OOP: Thank you for your insight ❤️. As for now we are still together, we talked last night and are fine today. Well, I say fine, he thinks we’re fine … but my mind is made up. I need a little time to get my life sorted before up and leaving, but you’re right - a ring now would be a ‘shut up’ ring and I am not settling for that, regardless of how much I love him. I’ve definitely learned my lesson on moving in while dating!! Sucks that it had to turn out this way but I’m leaving this situation wiser. I was speaking with my sister and she said that it isn’t a waste of 4 years because I’ve grown and learnt from this relationship and had good times, even if I’m now going to leave it all behind. Life is difficult but I’m excited about what’s in store for my future :) Commenter 4: You sound like a spoilt overdramatic brat. You left out way too much info. You've been dating for 4 years and you're 25. You are overreacting in my opinion. There are so many things that go into marriage. Financially, morally. Is all of that ironed out? Are you on the same page about kids? Do you want to buy a house? Live in the same area? Is there anything that could be holding this up? As a man, getting married in America is daunting. All rights in the divorce go to women. Men get shit on during divorces. It's a scary prospect. OOP: I’m not American :) we’ve spoken about kids and buying a house, we’re actively saving for a property together, and are on the same page sans marriage. As many other commenters have said, he wants all the benefits without having to stand in front of all our friends and family and commit to eachother. And that’s a sticking point I may have been willing to compromise on once, but not anymore. Btw, I am a lot more financially savvy than him and he is poor so I doubt a divorce would work against him 🤷‍♀️. OOP explains more about her commitments and if finances play a role in the relationship OOP: It’s the whole fairytale ending for me I guess. He lacks the ability to plan, make decisions, set deadlines - while those are the things that drive me. He does struggle with ADHD and anxiety which explains a lot of his behaviour. I am completely loyal in a relationship and have never been unfaithful, but when I was single I did date around. We have both agreed on day 1 that cheating is a complete dealbreaker and it would be over on the spot. 2 years ago he got blackout drunk, we argued and I left the house to stay with my mother for the night, and he downloaded tinder while I was gone. I found out 4 days later when I saw the code verification text on his phone. He swore blind that he didn’t actually create an account and deleted the app as soon as he came to his senses. I chose to believe him. Sometimes I wish I broke up with him then, but I guess I was in shock? It really rocked my self confidence for a long time anyway. And regarding the financial, he’s been talking about changing careers for the past 3 years. He’s never actually done anything about it and goes on the offence if I offer to help with his search / figuring things out. I’ve learned that he is deeply insecure unfortunately. And I actually prefer antique gemstone rings, which are around the 250-500 mark. So not a huge financial investment - he has a watch worth 2 grand. 🤷‍♀️ Sorry for dumping info, just trying to give a little more perspective into my situation   Additional Information from OOP after reading the comments OOP: Whew ok this blew up while I was sleeping!! Thank you all for your insights, but to be completely honest everything that’s been discussed is just reaffirming what I’ve already thought/already know. We spoke for a couple of hours and reflected on our relationship so far. It’s funny because the engagement situation is very similar to when we moved in together - I had to plead with him to make a decision when we were offered a house. Probably should’ve ended it then 🤣 and this obviously doesn’t fill me with confidence for the future - if I have to beg for every step forward in the relationship, what’s the point in being in one? Like many of you have said, I deserve someone that leaps into life with me, rather than being dragged. It is a shame that he can’t be that person for me. I wish I could start a fresh 1/1/25 however I have a lease to contend with, which is up for renewal in March. Even if I did get a ring at this point, I don’t think I’ll be renewing. I gave too much away too early and now I’m learning my lesson. It’s going to hurt, a LOT, but I just can’t cope with the disappointment and the anger anymore - it’s taking me away from myself. Thank you all again for giving me permission to be angry and pissed off that I’m not being treated like I deserve. Here’s to freeing ourselves from the shackles of ‘wife duties on a girlfriend salary’ in 2025 ✨🥂   Update #1: April 11, 2025 (3.5 months later) 90 days after I posted this I left the relationship. I’m 12 days into our separation, unfortunately still living together but working on changing that. I also started therapy and it has been a REVELATION. I gave 4 and a half years of my life giving 100% to this man and reaped nothing from it. That energy could have, and should have, been invested in myself. Imagine where I could be now!! Life is full of lessons and if you take anything from this sub today, let it be this - when someone tells you who they are with their words and actions, BELIEVE. THEM. I am so excited for the rest of my life. I’m going to surround myself with people who believe in me and achieve what I want to achieve all by myself. A man does not determine your worth, and please never put your life on hold waiting for one either. Peace and love ❤️. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Congratulations for finally breaking up with him, ending your hopeless relationship which clearly wasn’t going to lead to marriage. You’re not losing anything, but he’s losing a lot!! Please arrange for one of you to leave ASAP, as you’re not really fully “separated” if you’re still living together under the same roof. I’m worried that he might try to suck you back into resuming your relationship with him. Couples who are in the process of breaking up sometimes have “break up sex” even without planning or intending to, & that could lead to you weakening & making a poor choice. You’ve come so far, now make a complete break, however you have to make it happen. It’s not really over until it’s fully over & you’re not living together anymore. Wishing you all the best, as you deserve!! OOP: Thank you :) I’m about 60% packed up and the house looks so empty without my stuff! Aiming to be fully up and out this weekend. Also, the sex isn’t good enough to weaken me. Just saying 🤣 Commenter 2: 25/26 is an awesome age to be single. I met my husband at 25 right after getting out of a similar relationship. Cheers to you! OOP: Thank you! Nice to hear a success story, I'm 26 this summer and ready to live my best life as a single 'grown up' :).   Update #2: December 31, 2025 (8.5 months later) It’s been roughly a year since I made my first post. Just thought I would shed some light on my life since I left 9 months ago: - I’ve saved a deposit for my first property and I start my house hunt in the new year! I plan to buy solo and have my sister come live with me when I’m settled 🥰 - I secured a new job that I start in January, that I was headhunted for, with a 25% increase in salary and a lot of progression opportunities - I bought a new car alllll by myself that I maintain myself 💅 - Made a new circle of friends who I adore and have had so much fun with - Strengthened my relationships with my family as I can dedicate more time to them! - Went to a play on my own - Went to a concert on my own - Went abroad on my own and met some amazing people who I’m still in contact with! - Lost 25lbs in weight and gained a love for the gym and swimming - I swam 30km in the month of June! This year has turned out to be the best year of my adult life and I am not exaggerating. I am the happiest I have probably ever been, and I have so much to look forward to because I am living my life for ME. So if you’re ending 2025 unsure, upset, and disappointed with the man in your life - where could you be in a year? Make 2026 the year of choosing you!!!! OOP's Final Comment OOP: Wow all these comments 😭🥺 what a fantastically supportive sub!! Thank you for your well wishes and may we all carry only the best energy into 2026 ❤️.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

My roommate (he’s dyslexic and has aphantasia so he never developed a love for reading because he couldn’t really envision the stories) put on a movie last week and as we were watching I casually mentioned how I can’t believe we’re still seeing the kill your gays trope in media and he had 0 idea what that was. Ok, no big deal, probably hasn’t heard of it. My bf then tries to explain it. He doesn’t understand it. We give him the definition of the trope, we give him 15 examples of it in popular movies. Still confused about it. Bf then pauses the movie to explain just what a trope is. Nothing. Can’t wrap his mind around it. He likes “when I know what I’m watching and don’t have to do metaphors and stuff”. I knew he wasn’t a strong reader, but to hear him functioning at an almost Amelia Bedelia level of straightforwardness was insane. He didn’t pick up any foreshadowing, 0 possibility of symbolism, didn’t even recognise the “kill your gays” when we got to that specific scene. To him it just happened to be a gay guy who just happened to be killed like the other characters. I think my bfs brain stopped functioning for a bit. We’re all 30 and supposedly functioning adults. submitted by /u/LilacGoblin1699 to r/Vent [link] [comments]

For me it’s the whole “you have to sail east to get from the Atlantic side of the Panama Canal to the Pacific side!” fact. The direction in which you sail to cross the canal is merely a byproduct of the direction in which the canal had to be built. I get that it can be a bit counterintuitive at first but I don’t see anything that makes it “mind blowing” (no offense to anyone who does). Also I noticed that people who say this fact will say “east” and usually leave out that you’re traveling southeast to be precise, in fact you are traveling mostly south. Which isn’t all that surprising. I find that a lot of the mind blowing facts involving cardinal directions are just really simple things that only appear surprising if you word it in certain ways. submitted by /u/Character-Q to r/geography [link] [comments]

I've tried a bunch of different techniques over the years—some stuck, some didn't. What's a practice that you were skeptical about at first, but ended up making a real difference for you? For me, it was simply going outside, soaking up the sun and taking in breathes of fresh air. Just even 2minutes makes a huge impact. Thought it was too simple to work, but it's been surprisingly effective. What about you? submitted by /u/Asleep_Fig3372 to r/Mindfulness [link] [comments]

NYT Article Direct link to study Pertinent part of the article: Researchers in the study speculated that the training programs “bring awareness to upsetting thoughts,” encouraging students to sit with darker feelings, but without providing solutions, especially for societal problems like racism or poverty. They also found that the students didn’t enjoy the sessions and didn’t practice at home. Another explanation is that mindfulness training could encourage “co-rumination,” the kind of long, unresolved group discussion that churns up problems without finding solutions. As the MYRIAD results were being analyzed, Dr. Andrews led an evaluation of Climate Schools, an Australian intervention based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, in which students observed cartoon characters navigating mental health concerns and then answered questions about practices to improve mental health. Here, too, he found negative effects. Students who had taken the course reported higher levels of depression and anxiety symptoms six months and 12 months later. It's quite disheartening to see the results of this study. What do you think are reasons for such negative results? submitted by /u/ShiningRedDwarf to r/Meditation [link] [comments]

It's nothing more than distraction, manipulation, and gaslighting. submitted by /u/Adventurous_Floofy to r/therapyabuse [link] [comments]

I don’t get it. They say it’s all about acknowledging your feelings and controlling how you respond to them, but I already do that! They say you have to acknowledge how you feel, why you feel that way, and that this feeling won’t help you, so you can let it go, and that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. I know what I’m feeling, I know why I’m feeling it, and I know that it won’t help me, but oh would you look at that! The feeling is still here, because I don’t choose how I feel! And what does it mean to “let go” of an emotion? That’s not how the brain works! If I could “let go” of my anxiety or anger, I would throw them half way across the ocean, but I can’t. And so many other “tips” people give me about my anxiety are dog shit too. “Take squared breaths.” You think I’ve been dealing with this shit for over twenty years and I haven’t tried this thousands of times???? “List five things you can see.” Tried it. Maybe it distracts me for like five seconds but I go right back to being angry after I’m done. The problem isn’t solved,the situation hasn’t changed. I feel the same way about the situation as I did before. The only thing that I have found works for me, is removing myself from the situation completely and distracting myself with music or funny videos, until I forget why I was anxious/angry/depressed. That’s the only thing. Besides that, I just have to muscle through it. submitted by /u/Ferocious_Kittyrose to r/Anxiety [link] [comments]

I just don't get what I'm supposed to do? Or what it even is. Everyone and thing says to live in the moment and recognize feelings. Accept, recognize, let go of thoughts. What the fuck does any of that mean? I feel like it's all sentences without any single definition and people just understand it and I just feel stupid because I'm 26 and I cannot grasp this concept. I told my friend I zoned out and drove 20 minutes past my exit before I realized and he responded "mindfulness dude, gotta practice it." WHAT DOES MINDFULNESS HAVE TO DO WITH THAT? I just zone out! It's normal, everyone with ADHD does it all the time. I thought it was getting rid of thoughts and stuff and was like I can't do that, my brain jumps tracks so much that it gets rid of them for me. But no it's just recognizing them? But I already do? I'm aware of the thoughts and then people say "pay attention to how you feel" yeah I am. I have CPTSD and have to do that for my cognitive behaviour. I always pay attention to how I feel. It takese a minute sometimes but I'll realise how I feel fairly quick. And then they're like "let go". Let go of what???? The thought? The feeling? What am I letting go of? I don't really care how average thoughts make me feel, but the thoughts from my trauma I can't just "let go" of. I just don't get what people are telling me to do. I already know how to slow my mind down and catch a thought, but it's not meditation I have to listen to specific music that helps drown out the other thoughts and calms me. It works for me, I don't care about slowing down my mind at other times too much. I already pay attention to how I feel. The only one I can think of is daydreaming cause I maladaptive daydream as a coping mechanism for CPTSD but mindfulness isn't a cure for that, I gotta work through my trauma for more CBT. Am I missing something? I have tried just sitting and focusing on my breathing and thoughts and "not judging them" when I get bad thoughts (trauma memories) but all it does is make me focus on them more and stress me out and upset me. My tactic has always been to distract myself and they go away. Am I supposed to do it with regular thoughts too? I don't get it. I have read so much and just don't understand. submitted by /u/AsleepHistorian to r/ADHD [link] [comments]

please just stop, shut your mouth, step away from the computer. this continual answer of 'mindfulness' is not the answer. I keep seeing people who think they are therapists pushing and shoving 'mindfulness' on clients. damn it, just stop already. One, if you need ideas on how to make this happen, its a bad idea. Two, not everyone wants to sit with their horrible awful thoughts and do some woo shite. My mindfulness is going to be anger, rage, and a whole bunch of other things unpleasant.

Disclaimer: This post is for educational and informational purposes only and not a substitute for mental health counseling.” A lot of my clients come to see me about anxiety and panic attacks and one of the first things I teach them is to use Mindfulness Meditation as a daily practice. Starting at one minute per day (and gradually increasing as it becomes more natural), and maybe using a helpful meditation app like Insight Timer, I ask them to focus on their breath. Here's the important part: when you notice your mind has wandered, non-judgmentally and with a Kind Inner Voice, return your attention to your breath. Each time you successfully return your attention to your breath, congratulate yourself. THIS is the skill you're trying to develop! So many clients have told me: "I can't meditate, it makes me sleepy" or "I can't meditate, my mind is too busy with swirling thoughts" or "I can't meditate, focusing internally takes me to dark places." These are all really good points, and why I encourage people to start at One Minute per Day, and to only increase when meditation becomes so comfortable and natural that, at the end of the minute, they find themselves saying "Wow, that's over already?". The purpose of Mindfulness Meditation in counseling (as opposed to other forms and intentions of meditative practices) is NOT to become calm! The purpose is to notice when our minds have wandered off and to be able to return our attention to the Present Moment, using our breath as an anchor. Allowing our minds to wander to our pasts often results in negative thought spirals, leading to Depression. Allowing our minds to wander to the future often results in anxiety and panic attacks. Returning our minds to the present moment permits us to have peace and gratitude, and to function effectively in our lives. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Mindfulness Meditation. *May 15. 1300. OK, I've been typing non-stop for 5 hours. I had no idea this topic was going to get such a reaction. I need to take a break. I will come back and I will answer your comments, but I need to step away. Thank you all SO MUCH for taking the time to reach out! submitted by /u/LinaTherapistLPC to r/IAmA [link] [comments]
