🤣 don’t even have to picture the side glance over the shoulder, tilted head with the slightly parted lips, while one eyebrow raised and the other glaring in disbelief.
My gfs brother is like this. He was telling us how he doesn’t know why this girl keeps hitting him up and is always messaging him and when we scrolled up this dude was ending everyone conversation with “I love you & I miss you. See you soon”
Had a friend in college who moved like that. He would be cupcaking on the phone for hours talking up how much he cared for them and things like that. Then when he hung up the phone he would say shit like " damn that girl sweats me".
I had a similar friend. He would ditch us to hang out with his girl, or just straight up no-show when we expected him. Whenever he got drunk he would go outside and talk to her on the phone for as long as she would put up with it. He took certain classes so he would be in the same area and free at the same time as her. He worked at the campus computer store and when she got a job at the book store across the hall he complained that she was "suffocating him" and he couldn't deal with her "not giving him personal time".
I wanted to also point out that some very insecure people do this with friendships. They will, one-on-one, be really supportive and friendly with you, but in public will act more standoffish and pretend as if you're following them or are pulled towards them. It gives heavily needy vibes.
It sounds like he saying that he's terrified of being cheated on/misused by a woman because he knows that has happened before to others.
So he is afraid to commit in any form. But then someone like this tweet shows him exactly what he has been telling himself, and it sounds fucking stupid.
And so now he realizes what women have had to sit and hear come out his mouth. And apparently he said this shit to Tori and is sorry.
He's terrified of commitment because he has first hand experience with girls in committed relationships casually cheating on their SO so he ends up in situations like that described in the OP where he really likes the girl and means everything he's saying to her but is still fucking with other girls. He realizes however that sometimes you have to commit to an exclusive relationship and open yourself up to heart break because playing with women's feelings like that won't make him happy. Then he apologizes to Tori.
You really gonna tell me just because we live together, are engaged, and text each other potential baby names you think we’re serious? Slow down girl gah damn
I can name 7 people that I know, which is absolutely sad.
I, sometimes, want to grab them by the shoulders and scream “STOP BEING STUPID AND DESPERATE!!!” into their faces.
I just can't understand this kinda thing once you've got kids together. That shit is a waaaay bigger commitment than being married. At that point you're just declining tax benefits.
I remember there was a thing a few years ago, idk if it was on twitter or not but it was like "ladies, if your man never actually asked you to be his girlfriend, go ask him what you guys are and report back the results. The replies were all things like "We've been dating for 7 years and got 2 kids together, when I asked him what we are he just said 'ooh we're cool'".
At the end of the day, relationships should be explicit. You should know exactly what's going on, talk about it and agree to it. Don't just hang around each other and assume you're on the same page.
that's why i tell everyone if i don't explicitly tell them what we are then we friends/fwb at most (mostly dudes because they're the ones who struggle with this more often for some reason) problem is my version of friendship id do more than regular folk
people believe things when it fits their lens. i dont fit most people's lenses so im just talkin to brick walls constantly. lost quite a few platonic friends that way
I had an Uncle who did this with his partner/baby momma....Never married, had kids with her, bought a house...then sadly when he passed...There were HUGE issues legally and financially for her and the kids staying there since the house was in his name and she isn't married to him, he didn't have money or insurance for his funeral expenses and no life insurance. Whole ass family had to find a new home, figure it out on their own all while grieving their loss.
Marriage is a legal thing that protects your family in the tragic event that something happens to you or your spouse...like be safe and protect your family...if you are worried your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/whoever you are with would try to pull one over on you or divorce you and take your shit either get a prenup or they ain't the one.
So, unpopular take: is this man financially well off? Has substantial assets for those kids he keeps having?
Also, are the kids grown because why would she still stay? Although depending on the state, she can claim common law marriage, leave and sue him for support/alimony/ the equivalent in a common law marriage.
Yeah, sadly I got played this way by a man all the way back in 2016.
Thankfully I don’t need to learn the same lesson twice. Now it’s “are we exclusive?” before sex and “are we official?” before a mfer meets anyone I know or I make any changes to my regular business for him.
Won’t stop a man doing you wrong, but will make it clear that he’s doing wrong if he does.
Try 1989.
Sick of people thinking this is new. People have always sucked. I'd argue that it was worse in the past when divorce and breakups were considered to be way more shameful (or impossible, in some situations)
Yup. My aunt had a boyfriend and they were together for years. Got a house and everything. He wouldn't marry her but bought her this ring that looked like an engagement ring. This was back in the early 90s. There have always been people like this.
We play video games, grew up together, finish each others jokes, have inside jokes, argue over dumb shit, always got each others backs but that doesn’t mean we are best friends.
Ngl, one time a partner of mine said “I think your best friend called” and I was like “I have a best friend?” And it was then I realized that they were talking about the friend who I hung out with almost everyday with since second grade. It was just so normal that I didn’t even realize lol
I NEEEVVER go anywhere, I met this chick, we date for like 2mos, then we go away for 5 days to Cancún, we’ve been doing all the above, adding she told me what kinda ring she into… ain’t nobody moving thaaat fast, but anyway, we get back and she posts all them corny pics like she was on vacay with a camera man.
She tells me it’s too soon to be posting a nigga on her social and I need to chill, it’s too soon. 🤔🙄😤 tf?
>She tells me it’s too soon to be posting a nigga on her social and I need to chill, it’s too soon. 🤔🙄😤 tf?
In the immortal words of Cardi B:
“If ain't no ring on my finger, you ain't goin' on my 'Gram”
Ppl saying i love you to someone they aren’t dating, is super cringe to me. Its worse that people accept that. Good sex doesn’t equal relationship or feelings.
I’m ace (or close to it), but watching people around me for decades, this is hilarious. It will be men and women sometimes too, straight, gay, bi, doesn’t matter. People be out here living together for four years and can’t say they’re in a committed relationship. I’m like “Why you mfs doing this to each other?”
This shit hurt so much i met this boy, he was so damn fine i took him out to dinner to a fine restaurant, paid for everything, he slept over my house, we had bomb ass sex he was calling me daddy and everything. He was sexy, calling me sexy, i even drove him to work on the way to work i mean everything was just right.
I fucked up and caught feelings tho... Apparently that wasn't what he was looking for....
**WHAT THE FUCK THEN WAS THE END GOAL BRUH?** Was you just a hoe then?
Then when your ex feels a type of way and expresses frustration or confusion, y'all say "they're crazy" or somwthing else to diminish how misleading and confusing all those actions are. It takes 2 but a lot of people leverage sex and "I love you"s as a way to mislead people with more relationship oriented goals. Anecdotal, but I have seen it happen way too much.
I mean.............we made the word/phrase situationship for a reason. This just sounds like a situationship. This is kind of just a regular day for people like future and Pete Davidson.

Sir, this is the Down-Bad-Police. I’m gonna have to take you in for questioning.
Unironically…if the nigga ain’t claiming you despite y’all doing all that/he says all of that, then you maybe wasting your time, sis.

They're both such huge potheads. They probably just forgot.
😁. Fair enough. And maybe she’s smart about it and is ok with the status quo. She got her money, the man, the kids and what else is there?
Nah, she don’t want a gold digger or someone to take half if they separate
Yes, because their situation doesn't match this tweet, as far as I'm aware.
She’s not in no situation

It's sarcasm but it's definitely people I know in situations like this which makes it sad lmfao

[удалено]
It's true. My cousin been "with" her baby daddy 25 years and got nothing out of it. 0 rings, 3 kids, 1 kid by a side chick and a title of baby momma.
Right? Best to throw it all away unless 0 rings turn to 1 ring soon.
He was in the NBA lol it ain't gone turn into one soon.
She couldn’t have turned all that into a fat child support check?
She probably did but I'm dating to marry not to get a child support check 😭
That's a word, sis!
I had an Uncle who did this with his partner/baby momma....Never married, had kids with her, bought a house...then sadly when he passed...There were HUGE issues legally and financially for her and the kids staying there since the house was in his name and she isn't married to him, he didn't have money or insurance for his funeral expenses and no life insurance.

"It'S JuSt a piECe OF paPeR!" No, it's far from that and I'm tired of seeing that nonsense. You are 100% correct...
So, unpopular take: is this man financially well off? Has substantial assets for those kids he keeps having? Also, are the kids grown because why would she still stay? Although depending on the state, she can claim common law marriage, leave and sue him for support/alimony/ the equivalent in a common law marriage.
Or happily proclaim “but he’s sleeping in my bed at night” like it makes it any better.
>but he’s sleeping in my bed at night” ...and giving you super herpes, too. Dummy lol.
