Me and my GF had a wonderful relationship for almost 3 years, completely happy with each other, planning on getting married, starting a family, all that. Then in November her mom apparently had a "demon" exorsized at their church, and it spooks her into Jesus hardcore. Halfway thru December she cuts off sex until marriage (after we've already done it like a thousand times). I got her a very nice promise ring for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. Then near the end of January she tearfully tells me we have to take a break so she can "get right with God" and gives me the ring back. I've tried to be supportive and she says she still loves me. I even started going to her church and she said it "helped" but I couldn't help letting my emotions get the best of me a couple of times and now we barely even speak. Our 3rd anniversary was Friday and we didn't even text each other. I'm lonely and depressed and I can't stop thinking about it and it's killing me.

Is there any hope? Did I just get cucked by God and there's no way to get her back? How does such a perfect relationship go completely down the toilet in such a short time completely from outside sources?

that's life dude.
slap some sense into her.

or let her be crazy with someone else

if she cared enough for you she would have let this religious non sense slide. But if God and her mother's opinion of God is more important to her than your (and her) happiness than she is better off being a nun and not a wife.

Two doctors on /adv/ at the same time

It started at home, now she's 1000 miles away

We've been fighting and she asked "just tell me what you want me to do!?!".... Is this too much??

"You think that your contact with me is awkward and it’s obvious that idea is reinforced by the people around you. You said once that you feel like dying, remember how that felt, now understand for a second that you have made me feel like that many times, why is that? Because I change for you, and I have changed for you, but every time I request change FROM you, you make me feel like dying for even asking, this is wrong and needs to change, i don’t know why you think it’s okay to do this but I imagine it is because you don’t realize what you are actually doing when I request this of you. I want your go to response to my requests of change of yourself not to be to break down and cry, and then blame me and become angry at my request or even to try and contradict what I am saying, I want you to simply accept what I am requesting and do it because you love me, remember that this is what I have done for you. It does not matter whether you understand immediately why you should do this change, believe me I didn’t understand at first either when you requested change from me but I did it. What are my requests now? Stop going out drinking. Avoid association with people who think drugs are okay and pressure you to do things you know I would not be okay with. Don’t fight me when I request you to change your behavior. Stop yourself and ignore any perceived embarrassment about rabbiting or contacting me. Stop getting mad at me about looking out for myself, do you really think that low of me that you can treat me like an unfeeling object that should never worry and should stay in it’s place? I don’t think you would say yes, but that is how I perceive those situations and you need to understand that.

continued: Here’s the hardest one of all to put simply, it is a root perception that you give off to me, you act like this entire relationship should revolve around you, what I mean by that is as explained above and it takes form in many different small instances and behaviors you exhibit in everyday conversation. I know this is not easy to read. But you have to understand that this is the conclusion I came to after all of this. I know it’s not true, it can’t be and that is why I still have faith in us. I know you feel the same way about how I act too sometimes, but I simply mirror exactly what you do to me. Your response when it gets heated is always something like that, that I am only thinking about myself. I want you to do some REAL self-reflection. If it isn’t obvious this is how I see it: You tell me to change: at first: I resisted and thought you were only thinking about yourself——— After changing: I realized you only wanted to help me and I am actually better for the change despite not understanding why i would be at first besides your benefit—————— I tell you to change: you resist and think that I am only thinking about myself————— After changing: ??? Because you never have from my requests——————— The reality of your changes: YOU change from people who are close and around you, which is why I always laugh and say “out of sight out of mind” because when I am out of sight, and rabbit doesn’t count, I am out of your mind, you only change and do things at the request of those around you in the physical world and NEVER from me. This makes me feel incredibly powerless in our relationship which is ultimately why I wrote this, because we are imbalanced. That was more than five sentences but this has been a long time coming.
>>
continued: Why do I think this will work: Well you taught it to me sort of indirectly, this formula if you will for relationships, that love does mean trust, but also the willingness to do anything for the other person in the context of making ourselves more comfortable in the relationship even if we really, and i mean really, do not want to. I think that I have proven to you that I am willing to do this for you, and you might hate this but… If you love me, if you really love me, you will do the same. But changing habits is hard. To change my habit of smoking weed I had to disassociate myself from everyone in my life who smoked weed. Which unfortunately most people. And I despaired. But after all this time I realize that if I want a constant in my life, like you, that I should not be afraid of blowing the dust that was the past into the winds of time. I hope that makes sense.
>>
continued: You know, and I know that this is never instant, relapses happen. But without the effort there is no reason to go on. Mistakes should be punished, but forgiven for these relapses, to an extent of course depending on the severity of the mistake. This is how I was treated from you and it worked. I am just doing the same because I believe in the madeline that taught me this lesson. You tell me she is not gone, you tell me you are the same madeline. You keep asking me what do i want from you, what do I want you to do. The answer is complicated but put simply “I want you to prove it”, how can you prove it? By taking your own advice and staying true to those values that you once passed on to me and the values that made you so much more than a normal woman in my eyes, what made me fall in love with you, deeply, passionately, forever, in love with you. How can I put this value as simply as possible as I see it, because I really don’t think you remember it. The value goes something like this “my eyes will be your eyes, my heart will be your heart, my feelings will be your feelings… your actions will be my actions, I will listen, I will not fight, your word will be scripture and I will study it. you are my goddess, you are my guru, I am worth loving because I will tell you the truth always, especially about how I feel about you.” I think it can be simplified down to the last sentence that “I am worth loving because I will tell you the truth always, especially about how I feel about you”. Of course this is an ideal value. We are both not perfect in this. I think you used to be but maybe I’m wrong and even that’s okay because I still love you because I know you will want to strive to this with me.

What can you do that an American with your degree can't? Why are you so special that an American doesn't deserve the job but you do?

Until you can answer that question the answer is no, and you won't be able to answer that question until you have an advanced degree and decades of experience.

No you can't work for a US Government agency as a foreigner (not even if you held a work permit of any kind, need to be citizen).

Furthermore your Political Science degree is worthless in regards to immigrating just about anywhere.

What is this called?

I smoked weed all day erry day for some years and by the end of it my mind was fucked. One of the things I noticed was that I was constantly a reductionist. Watching a movie, I would see actors playing a part but couldn't see the story. I would understand the story but would feel no emotion from it. If I saw a picture I would notice the form and what it would represent but feel nothing about it.

Cold turkey for months now and music, movies and art are way better now. The fuck happened?

I know that an attractive personality is largely an ineffable, je ne sais quois thing. I was wondering if it's ever been intellectualised what these traits or behaviors are. I'd appreciate if femanons posted ITT with attractive and repulsive male behaviors
4 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>18108485

while there is a baseline, that baseline usually indicates what has potential to be attractive rather than what is attractive.

any attractive trait that would apply to the majority of women would be a braod generalization, and the unfortunate truth is that most of it still boils down to how you look.

pic related is an exaggeration, but its more than just based in truth.

an ugly guy sits in the corner being quiet and looking around, and hes weird, creepy, stalkery.

hot guy sits in the corner being quiet and looking around, and hes stoic, a lone wolf, mysterious.

its sad but true. and becuase most people are more on a 'spectrum' of attractiveness instead of blatnatly one or the other, it really boils down to which women find him attractive.

you can post your picture in a thread for instance and half the people will want to lick your ass dry and half the others will tell you you look like a retard.

and part of it is also what physical traits you do have.

two guys can be equally attractive in different ways but get different results on what personality traits are attractive. a cute skinny guy acting like a macho bro is often seen as unattractive. a big macho man acting like a shy artsy type is generally unattractive, etc.

thats why we ask guys to post their pics when asking for seduction advice, not because we need to see how attractive they are, but because we need to see what kind of attractive they are. one size does not fit all.

I feel worse than I ever have in my life without her. I've been depressed, thinking about her every day, hating myself for leaving (even though at the time I sought the advice of all my loved ones and a counselor who all told me to leave)

Even some small thought would help, I'm seeing her today and I want to tell her how I really feel. I also want to say if she doesn't want to get back together, I'm done seeing her, now that I know she's dating, I don't have her cheat with me, I wont be a part of that knowingly

About 7 years ago mom cheated on dad and he only finally woke up to himself after he came at me one day and I blurted out that his wife was cheating on him.

After this he was pretty sad and he didn't really act like my dad anymore. He was too busy moping around and day dreaming to see how things really were. Anyway he was acting childish and I told him to "fuck off"

I still feel pretty bad even after 7 years. I haven't spoken to him since. He just wasn't my dad anymore you know?

What happened to him?

You broke the man. You knew your mom was cheating, but did not tell your dad. This showed to him you did not respect him.

Also your mom broke him by destroying the trust he had in her.

I didn't wanna tell him cause I knew it'd kill him.

It's his fault for not realising things on his own. It was so obvious, but whatever.

Hey I was wondering if I could have some advice relating to post I made in 2014

>http://archive.4plebs.org/adv/thread/14397548/

So what happened in that thread was a shit show.

It didn't end there though, she kept looking at me for the rest of the year and it really fucked me up.

So, I found her tumblr and messaged her over the last three years.

I realize it's borderline stalking, I recently started taking anti-depressants and I'm trying to make some friends after my parent passed away.

It's hard and I'm relying on the messages I send as my sole social interaction.
I can't even talk to dudes anymore it's so bad.
I'm under a lot of stress from my brother dealing drugs too.

I'm approaching my 30s as a single creative "professional" and I've never tried any drugs, even soft ones like weed. I guess it's cause I always had the idea that drugs are bad don't do em (yet I drink every now and then). But the world around me is wearing me out, and everyone I know is doing one form or another. I got coworkers and even bosses who vape and/or smoke out of a bong while driving. In my internship everyone was doing it, we even had meetings to talk about it sometimes.

Yet I can't bring myself to, and I remain the wet blanket to everyone else's fun. I'm not even trying to stop them, just not participating harshes their vibes, man.

They tell me there's nothing harmful about pot, and it frees you so much and I'm starting to believe that. I see these people and they seem successful and doing something with their lives. Not like the brain-killing images I'm supposed to have of what pot does to your. Was that all a lie? Sure things slip their minds and they're very very lazy but also smart and they seem to get things done.

They also say that it's not addictive, and I'm not sure if I believe that because they're always doing it and get mad and distracted if they can't. But to top it off it's a good way to meet people I guess.

Tons of other naive things bothering me, like how manners don't seem to matter and in fact hold you back, and other lifelong lies, but today my question to you is what am I really gaining by not going with everyone else around me's flow? I thought it'd make me dumb or super lazy but I guess not if this isn't happening to them. Might make me more fun and stop worrying about things as much as I do because apparently none of that really matters, yolo and such.

Weed ain't gonna kill ya. I'm a 30 year old professional that has smoked in the past, and now that it's legal in Nevada, I'll probably try an edible here or there. It's just not really my thing - mainly puts me to sleep after about 10 minutes of laughing.

But no, weed isn't addictive in the sense that like meth, crack, or opioids are going to be. Maybe it's behaviorally addictive, like if you started smoking with these guys all the time, but really you're not going to hurt yourself.

The only reasons not to smoke weed are A) if you get tested at work, B) if you don't like the feeling.
>>
Sure, just try it
You lose out a different perspective on things if you never smoked
I smoked first time shortly after my 18th birthday and it changed my life (for the better)
Thank you weed

>>18108260
Dutchfag here, very experienced with weed both personally and around me. The thing is most people tend to fall into extremes, either weed is 0% addictive and cures your cancer in the process of not getting you addicted, or it's Satan's herb. Weed is not as addictive as alcohol and not as hard on your body. Yes it can be harmful to your development but mostly when you smoke it when young, or when you pair up heavy smoking with malnutrition and sleep deprivation. Your body needs more fuel and rest the more you ask of it.

But it's not harmless. Physical dependency is very very rare but not completely impossible (and not -remotely- as likely as it is with alcohol), but psychological dependency is much more common. And let me assure you that when you have been struggling with your usage for years, it becomes a technicality whether your addiction is solely rooted in your mind or also in your body.

It is a bit comical to me to avoid weed due to fear of dependency when you're fine with using alcohol, but what stands out to me from your post is that you are looking for a way to alleviate stress and frustration. Drugs should ideally be a fun occasional getaway from everyday life, not a way to cope with it. You are more prone to maintain an unhealthy relationship with any drug if your usage is rooted in need/escapism and not in desire.

If you want to use it, pace yourself and make sure to go slow at first and check whether it gives you paranoia, which is the most likely "risk". Other than that, weed can be lots of fun (though drug preference is pretty personal), I find it way more enjoyable than alcohol. Make sure to masturbate if you do get high.

Okay, so I'm on three dating sites - OkCupid, POF, and Tinder. (I don't use Tinder unless I'm traveling though.)

I have a bunch of "likes" on OKC and POF, so I'm doing something right, and girls message me.

A girl wrote me a really nice note last night and I don't know how to respond. She's not ugly, but she's not as cute as I normally go for. I do appreciate her effort though.

I barely message anyone unless I think they're an 8/10+ in both looks and mutual personality. Am I going about this wrong? Do most people just get a bunch of dates and give people a chance in person to impress?

I'm shit at meeting girls IRL, so I feel like online dating is my only valuable way to meet anyone these days.

You have most of it down. You followed the first two rules now you just have to show up and not sperg out. Just pick the hottest one and go down from there. That's all online dating is is how attractive you are to start and if you don't also blow it with stupid messages to start.

They are just people, hold a conversation with them online for a little while then get their phone number then plan a date.
>>
>>18108292

Well, this is my issue. I'm not concerned about sperging out, but normally I don't give anyone the time of day that I'm not immediately way interested in. Am I supposed to be going on a bunch of dates in high volume just to see how it goes?
>>
>>18108318
Yep.

if you find one you like just stick with that one. One at a time.

the goal is really never to find the perfect person because that's not possible. With each person you date you can just know what will work with you and what wont more. if that makes any sense.

Please help anons,

I'm a man and I like showing off my body and ass online. Specifically, on Chaturbate for tips. I'm not gay (I get turned on by curvy women and big knockers) but I also get turned by the fact that men are jacking off to my ass. I love all the dirty things they want to do to me. I extremely enjoy the validation they give me when they tip me ACTUAL $$$ just for me to spread my hole or something like that. I don't get this same horny feeling when women compliment me, in fact I hate appreciation from women.. it just feels hollow and condescending despite the fact that I find women physically attractive and would get completely soft from hairy, broad shouldered men.

I don't even keep or need the money, all the tips I make, I forward to other cam girls and guys who look like they truly need it.

I know this probably stems from loneliness as a child and constant rejection from the opposite sex in real life.

I need to stop though because A. Future employers would most likely respond negatively to this. (My current boss is socially liberal and supports sex workers.)
B. While doing this, I could never hold a regular relationship with a woman. Not only would I feel guilty but I can't see a normal girl respecting me in a relationship for doing this kind of stuff.

the problem here is you assume employers are going to find out. just don't be retarded about it and you'll be fine.

as for a relationship, yeah no girl would love to find out about this. so if you want to quit, go ahead and quit.

sounds hot though if thats you id certainly love to watch you show off your ass.

Difficult choice

I've been taking anti-depressants for about 4 days.

They give me anxiety in the first few hours after swallowing, toe point I don't talk to anyone at Uni

They give me suicidal thoughts when I try to go to bed.

Is it worth taking them?

Not taking them I don't have as bad anxiety.
I could talk to people without them, but I'd still be sad.
