I Asked You to Be HONEST About Your Dating Behaviors. Here’s What I Learned… 

Who are they?? 😂

The Real Stephen Hussey is back! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_fhDVVfELsM.html

No one has never said that 😹

Love seeing you Stephen! ❤

Showed them

That's great to hear! I hope you're able to maintain the new skills you've acquired and develop them further so you can keep getting the rewards that come with them.😄

Yes!

She's fantastic. She's articulate, honest, compassionate and brings a fresh perspective

you're dating the wrong person. Date someone who's love language is physical affection.

Then they're rejecting the part of themselves that likes affection. Affection is a very beautiful thing, and no one should be shamed for liking it.

thats cos its a convenient excuse for their ambivalence,,,,,,,,, lose the losers,,,,,, you deserve so much better,,,,,,,, slam the door shut,,,,,, dont worry that always come back and whimper,,,,,, slam it harder n block block block,,,,,,,,

AVOID WOMEN! It’s over… they are just NOT worth it.

Same 😢

Why they have Translate to English under this 😂😂😂 We know what you said ❤ Peace

Have you seen the video of the 8 month old who had a full tantrum when they took the phone away from him. We are all trying to figure out how to go back to Face to Face. Your not alone ❤ Peace

It's within your control to text less and connect more in real life. Perhaps you're already doing this, but you can, for example, purely use texting for making appointments to meet up. Make it hap'n cap'n!

My partner and I have broken up perhaps 3-4 times over 6.5 years. I know he stays because he feels bad that I love him a lot. But I want to see if there are signs he doesn’t love me back.

If you don't feel loved then you don't feel loved. He's not meeting your needs. Try to ask yourself if staying in a relationship where your needs are not met is okay in the long term. I wish you find the clarity you seek ❤

If you've broken up so many times during your relationship, it's either signs of a toxic, mismatched or unhealthy relationship. Doesn't mean either of you is a bad person, it's just clear that you are not right for each other. Don't waste your life waiting to see if someone truly loves you... if you have to ask yourself that question, it's already clear that you are not loved the way you need. So move on. Thank him for the experience so far and the lessons learned and close the chapter with him. You need to end what Doesn't work, in order to start something better for you.

What you are saying is you create and enhance flaws in others so you can break up with them? That’s projection. You have to leave them because it’s their fault, not yours? That’s a pretty toxic defense mechanism. Possibly to leave them before they leave you. So it keeps you more powerful in the dynamic. I hope you aren’t hurting and damaging people in your search for something better. To move ahead, just maybe move on more quickly and gracefully. It’s ok that not every attempt is going to result in a love match. It doesn’t have to be somebody’s fault and it doesn’t have to devolve until they are wrong so that you can be right.

Sometimes it’s better not to subject other people to someone that moves like this, they certainly deserve “someone better” than that.

Doesn’t really sound like you are dating, just going through the motions and wasting time.

Me too. Breaking this habit.

Yup, agree

It felt more like he was being interviewed

Make sure it’s not a scammer 😅 texting without calls or meet ups for an extended period of time is a big red flag ❤

I think they are not trust worthy at all. Women need to feel they can trust men very early in the phases of building a relationship. Be very suspicious, either he has a committed relationship and hiding behind text or he is a dark triad.

Clear RED FLAG! most scammers will not take calls Or FaceTime you… it’s a fictitious person behind the text.. RUN ! RUN FAST AND DONT SEND THEM $$!

😅

Sis, men see this behavior as masculine and hard to manage. When women are assertive there are one of two things running through their minds. 1. She's going to out pace me in earnings, goals and potential and I know I can't keep up. He hardly knows his own ambition, goals and potential and is certainly not a leader with experience to handle your straightforward character. 2. She will be difficult to submit. Which is equally concerning because it's also a lack of leadership and understanding how to Love your help mate and not be a tyrant or dictator. I dont blame men or women for our current lak of understanding of dating. Men's bad behavior was corrected in the 1800's-1900's treating females as property. Then it fell off a cliff during the Free sezz movement 🤔. Today we are all basically trying to figure out what " normal" is in the midst of chaos. Women make more than men these days at a high rate and more women are raising children alone. Yet, men are still look for traditional wives but when those same wives who did everything for them go through menopause they are absent in care taking🤓. Only the true leaders of men have and will understand understand how to adjust to this chaos and " modern" living. If our male managers and CEO's can figure it out in an organization, there's a male leader relationship who can do the same. Stay in the game and keep your personal boundaries and picker strong....he's out there somewhere ❤Peace

"Independent" is often a code word for treating male partners badly, as if a woman has no obligations to them and is only out for a contractual exchange. Honesty and straightforwardness are great, but most people who say they're that aren't. It generally is not a good investment for men you feel are inadequate to try becoming a better person in your eyes. If you think men don't work ludicrously hard to improve themselves, though, then you're delusional. You come across as though you are high maintenance while insisting you are low maintenance, meaning you're not honest, and you have little empathy for men. I would stop talking to you if we started talking on an app.

@@lemurpotatoes7988 you sure do make a lot of assumptions on people you don't know. If you view "independent" as a negative then you're one that's part of the problem. Being patriarchal is condescending and offensive. I'll wager you have negative associations with independent women. Smh many men lack the awareness to improve their emotional intelligence and don't look within because they're afraid of what they'll see. Pity that you have a lot of negativity around independent strong women who don't emotionally break down often. Hope you find enlightenment someday and pull yourself out of the negative shadows.

I can't speak for men, but I can speak for myself as a lesbian. I appreciate honesty and the ability to speak her truth with me so we can work together to have our needs met. I also appreciate genuine independence and her ability to do her own thing, while we have things we do together. The problem, however, is that most women actually hide behind these stated traits and use them as a way to misidentify bullying, abusive behavior. "I'm honest/straightforward" usually translates to "I'm verbally abusive and lack empathy." "I'm independent" translates to "I'm not interested in fostering a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship with you, and just want to do whatever I want with no consideration for how it affects you." And this is confirmed by incongruent behavior. She says she possesses adult behaviors like honesty, independence, and straightforwardness, but in reality she possesses childish behaviors like blame-shifting, manipulation, deceit, selfishness, and bullying. So for me, it's not that I feel I'm not worthy of an honest, straightforward, independent woman; it's quite the opposite. I would kill for a woman like this. But the thing is, I'm worthy of a woman who holds herself accountable for maturing as a woman, genuinely gives a damn about me, and is serious about working towards a future with me, not someone who covers abusive, counterdependent behaviors with traits she doesn't actually possess. When I run across a woman who says she's honest and straightforward but is actually abusive, or who actually lies instead of telling me the truth, I just leave. That crap is beneath me and it's not energy I allow in my life.

I feel like this same concept can be applied to other relationships that aren't romantic... there's a reason why I tend to avoid most, if not all, forms of feminism. It's difficult for women to be nice and encouraging towards each other, and I'm not saying that just for the sake of it. I know my faults and weaknesses... I know that I'm not the best at remaining positive sometimes. Encouraging myself and being kind to myself with no one else around isn't easy sometimes, but what's even more difficult for me is holding space for my other friends and not being too harsh on them.
