I [36M] dated someone [34F] for 8 months, and she blocked me after texting that this was the happiest she’s ever been in a relationship.

We met on a dating app on Feb 2022. Talked for a month. Met for drinks. Hit it off. Started seeing each other regularly.

Fast forward 8 months, to October/November. We go on a great fancy dinner date. We had a lot of fun.

I get sick and can’t see her for 2 weeks. At the end of my sickness, I text and ask when she is free.

She responds “I’m glad you’re feeling better! This is really hard for me to send, you made me the happiest I’ve ever been in a relationship. This was the best relationship of my life, but our schedules are intense. You’re a great person and I love you. But let’s call it.”

She then blocked me.

It’s been 2-3 months. I’m still blocked on everything and I’m in the worst time of my life.

I haven’t been able to move on. I think about her everyday. Mutual friends have told me she is not dating and just sitting at home, upset.

I want to break no contact by writing her a letter, or knocking on her door.

I know that is a bad idea, but I don’t know what else to do. I want to respect her boundaries, but I’m beside myself.

Any advice on how to let it go? Or what to do?

My stomach churned as I heard the words coming out of the doctor’s mouth.

He said that I had contracted an infection, one that I had never heard of before. I was confused, and a little scared. How could this have happened? I had only been with my girlfriend for a few months, and we had always been careful.

The doctor said that the infection was a result of unprotected sex and that it was highly infectious. As he said this, my mind raced back to the night before, when we had been intimate without a condom. I felt a wave of anger rush through me, and I knew that I had to confront her about this.

When I got home, I asked her if she had been tested recently. She said that she had, and that the results were all clear. I knew that something was off, so I asked her when the last time she was tested was. She hesitated, and then told me that it had been a while. I knew then that she had been lying to me.

I was furious. Not only had she put my health at risk, she had also been dishonest with me. I asked her why she hadn’t been honest about being tested, and she told me that she had been selling herself secretly. I couldn’t believe it.

My girlfriend had been selling herself for money behind my back. I felt betrayed, and couldn’t believe that she had been doing this the whole time we had been together. I asked her why she had done it, and she said that she needed the money. I was heartbroken, but I tried to understand her reasoning.

I told her that she had to get tested immediately, and she agreed. We decided to try to move past this, but I couldn’t help but feel like something was still wrong between us. I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy to get over what she had done.

As time passed, I slowly started to forgive her. I could see that she was truly sorry for what she had done, and that she was trying her best to make things right. We worked together to rebuild our relationship, and eventually, I was able to let go of the anger and hurt that I had been feeling.

My son is five years old this year, I had him with a colleague of mine whom I was having an affair with for a period of time.

My husband is always overseas for work and whenever he comes back to Singapore we would spend our couple time together and do our ‘couple things’.

Six years ago, I had s- with my colleague a few days before my husband came back to Singapore.

My colleague did not use protection that night and planted his seeds inside me.

When my husband came back, we also had s-.

Few months later, I found out that I was pregnant. I didn’t know who was the father, but decided to tell my husband that I am pregnant with his child.

He was so elated and he promised me that he would made arrangements to shift his work base back to Singapore as he wanted to be part of his child’s growth and upbringing.

I gave birth to a healthy baby boy and I decided to bring him to to a DNA test secretly.

Turns out that his DNA and my husband’s DNA did not match which meant that his real father is my colleague which I had an affair with.

Furthermore he grew up to look a little bit like my colleague.

I decided to talk things out with my colleague and let him know the truth.

I told him that I have a happy family now and did not want things to go wrong or to change from what it is.

He agreed to it but made me promise that He could still see his son once in awhile to do his ‘part’.

So to cut the long story short, my husband has been raising a kid who he thought is his all these while and at the same time, my colleague still gets to see his son on the sly whom my son addresses as dearly as ‘Uncle’.

I don’t know how long can this carry on, but I hope that things will not go wrong in any way.

Chinese New Year is around the corner, and like many other Chinese families, mine is no different in wanting to see me with a girlfriend.

Every year, I’m asked when will I bring my gf home. It is like I’m expected to bring someone home to celebrate with the family.

I’m the only single one in my family, so they’re always questioning me on why I’m still single, and then they proceed to set me up with their friends’ daughters or nieces.

I’m already feeling the pressure mounting as it gets closer and closer to the day and I’m still single.

I understand why my relatives are so eager to see me with a partner. Most of them are married and have children of their own, so it’s only natural that they want me to find someone and settle down too.

But the problem is, I’m not ready to settle down yet. I’m still young and have my whole life ahead of me, and I don’t want to rush into something just for the sake of appeasing my relatives.

So what do I do? Do I find someone just for the sake of having someone to bring home for Chinese New Year?

Or do I stay true to myself and just face the nagging and jibes from my relatives? It’s a tough decision to make, especially since I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

In the end, I decided to stay true to myself and not to find someone just for the sake of it. I know that if I do find someone and bring them home, my relatives will be happy and probably stop nagging me, but it’s not worth it.

I don’t want my relationship to be based on a lie, and I don’t want to put someone through that either.

So I’m going to Chinese New Year this year as a single man, and I’ll just have to face the nagging and jibes from my relatives.

It’s not an ideal situation, but it’s the only way I can stay true to myself and my beliefs. I know that in the end, they’ll come to understand my decision and hopefully stop pressuring me to find a partner.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one in this situation, and I know that there are many people out there who are feeling the same kind of pressure from their families.

My advice to them is to stay true to themselves and not to compromise on their values just to appease their relatives. It might be hard at first, but in the end it’ll be worth it.

I was 21 when I met him. He was charming, funny, and looked good on paper. He had a good job, drove a nice car, and was well-spoken.

I thought I had found the one; someone I could build a life with. I had big dreams and aspirations for the future, and I was sure he was the one who could help me achieve them.

Little did I know, he wasn’t the one for me.

I got pregnant when I was 22. We decided to keep the baby, and I moved in with him. He said he wanted to take care of us, which was music to my ears.

I was so excited to finally have someone who could help me take care of my child and provide us with a good life.

But he was unreliable and couldn’t be counted on. He would say he was working long hours and stay out late, but always had not enough money.

I was left taking care of our child on my own.

His lack of responsibility and unwillingness to help me with the child was too much for me to handle.

He also had a drinking problem and would come home late at night, always dead drunk.

I was scared of him and worried about how he would act around our child. I felt like he was a danger to us both and I knew I had to make a change.

So one day, I decided to leave him. I packed up our things and moved out with our baby. I knew it was the right thing to do, even though it was hard for me to leave him behind.

I’ve been on my own for a few months now, and I’m doing better than ever. I have a job and a place to live, and I’ve been able to provide for my child without any help from him.

I’m so proud of myself for being able to do this, and I’m thankful that I was able to make this decision.

I’m much happier now that I’m no longer relying on him. He was unreliable and couldn’t be counted on, and I’m glad I realized this before it was too late.

I’m relieved that I was able to take care of our child on my own and provide us with a better life.

It was hard to leave him, but it was the right thing to do. I’m glad I made the decision to leave him and am now living a better life without him.
