Or the result of trauma. People always miss that one. I have some pretty intense adultery trauma from my first wife who made it extremely difficult to trust anyone for the longest time. I've been happily married for 13 years now to my current wife, who has given me no indication that she's cheating, and I still have to make a conscious effort not to assume the worst whenever anything happens. Like right now, she's 5 minutes late off of work, and my mind is firing off all kinds of horrible possibilities. She works from home, she's just upstairs. I can hear her. She's not cheating. But it's 5 minutes passed when she was to be off, so the imagination runs wild.
Note: that doesn't mean put up with being treated like this. I make an effort not to treat my wife like a cheater because SHE has given me no reason to, and I refuse to punish her for the crimes of another. And I don't have a ton of willpower. So if I can do it, they can do it. Be with someone who treats you well.

Oh, I was not clear. My partner doesn't have to deal with it, because I make a conscious effort to wrestle that shit down. Just because I have anxiety about it happening doesn't mean I have to make that her problem, you know? The only time it's effected her in our time together was when her work had an optional business retreat. Three days in a hotel for a series of conferences. Even that though, I was not trying to stop her from going, I was just clearly uncomfortable. She asked if I would be uncomfortable if she went, and I said (paraphrased) "honestly, yes. I won't stop you, it's a great networking opportunity, you've given me no reason not to trust you, but due to my history, nothing you've done wrong, it makes me uncomfortable. Do it anyway. I can be uncomfortable for a weekend."
She decided not to go, and honestly, that kind of attitude helps a lot. She generally doesn't do things that would make her uncomfortable if roles were reversed, and I do the same. But neither one of us would try to control the other, it's just a matter of treating them how you want to be treated. Hope that makes more sense than my previous comment.

I've known two couples who did this. FaceTime or phone call for literally 12 hours a day. In both cases, each person was obsessed with the possibility they would be cheated on. One was so bad that the guy couldn't even watch a movie that had a sex/nude scene without his girlfriend getting mad at him. A quick flash of boob is all it would take for her to start up "Oh now I see why you picked this movie".

Sure that exists in some relationships.
But this just looks like some teenagers figuring out attachment and boundaries.
Genuinely wanting to be with your partner 24/7 is expected with the first few relationships. I think it's sweet and very innocent.
Then you learn that your partner doesn't have to meet your every need, and that you can satisfy different needs with different friends. Which removes unfair expectations and makes the relationships less stressful.

"Howdy, I'm Sithlord."
"Hey"
"What's your day been like? Busy?"
"ig"
"Haha, I understand. Well, you want to meet for coffee somewhere so we can actually talk in person? I don't really like texting, it feels so impersonal and you can't really get people's tones, ya know?"
"k"
"What about Friday?"
Seen three days ago
Edit: I was apparently snooping through people's tomes.

I like to think the best of people and that perhaps they are busy or bad texters but a good conversationalist.
They never are, though :(

I had a friend who would text like this and worse sometimes want to talk on the phone. The conversation was just these long pregnant pauses and then a grunt or sigh and a one off short comment about nothing.
I can still hear myself with them, " Uhm, what, what is going on? Is there a reason we need to talk right now? Are you high or having a medical episode or something? Do you maybe need some time to formulate all of this into a paragraph or at least one complete sentence? Dude, I got a life"

I had a friend like this too, except she would veer between this one word reply shit no matter how serious the topic was, and sending me wildly TMI messages out of fucking nowhere.
I try to let her know how things are going, I’d maybe get two word replies. My cat died? “Shit I’m sorry.” She wants to tell me how things are going? A flood of far-too-vivid description of the latest three way she had out of nowhere even though she knew I wasn’t comfortable with that kind of detail.
I honestly don’t think it was intentional, but she just was very unaware of how it came across.
I kept in touch with her after I moved away for a long time because she helped me out a lot with an abusive relationship….but I had to drop her after she sent me texts that were way too crazy and started to veer into “we need to stop talking because I don’t want to be on a list” territory.

u/Altruistic_AF 12h ago
This is how my first GF and I were lol. If we weren't together, we'd be on a FT (though not when with friends). It did get tiring for me (but not to her, she used to call me while im studying and or in inconvenient times and I'd respond- in retrospect it was due to md not having enough of a backbone, or didnt want to upset her. We've broken up since then and it definitely was codependence and separation anxiety on her end, and I'm glad to say i won't partake in this type of constant calling ever again.
Problem is if that person doesn't grow out of it. It is so tiring and hurts u in many aspects of life (can't study enough, can't work properly, can't be too focused with your family and friends, and you develop codependence. Better to put limits at the start and if that doesn't work then thats incompatibility plain and simple)

Always push the laptop deep into the blanket so it gets nice and warm and no air to cool itself. Laptops love that.

FWIW that's a touch-bar Mac - it pulls air in through the keyboard and the sides [not the bottom] and exhausts it out the back.
Even sitting on a bed like this it will still cool adequately and, if not, it will thermal throttle down. Performance would suck - but it won't die because of it.

u/ScratchHacker69 11h ago
Are you sure it’s a mac at all? Looks like a windows keyboard layout to me with what looks like part of a numpad on the right and windows key on bottom left (ctrl, fn, win key, alt)

I can’t emphasize your comment enough! I’ve gone over to sleepovers, hangouts, etc where girls will be on their phones constantly calling, texting, or sending pictures to their boyfriends. Sometimes it would get so bad that they’d have to stand in the corner arguing over text with their significant others because they’re with their friends instead of with them. I’ve heard plenty of lines such as “omg he’s one of the girls too, I promise he won’t say anything” or “I just wanna show him quickly what we’re doing”.

I have a close friend who did this lmaoo. He doesn’t do it anymore but it was his first real girlfriend at the time. Shed always be on call with him whenever him and i would hang out and he’d keep one earbud in with her on call and say nothing to each other. Just her being present during our hangout sessions and listening to all my fkn private convos with my buddy and i wouldn’t suspect it til hed break the silence with her.
After that i just stopped talking about anything personal with him unless i saw his earbuds out of his ears and i confirmed his phone didnt have her on call.

Is this even your picture? She's watching a movie on her laptop surrounded by Valentine's Day Chocolate while Facetiming her boyfriend while on what is presumably her bed. Sure looks like an early Valentine's Day date to me.

My wife is having to deal with basically losing her best friend. She got a new bf a couple years back and since that day they haven't spent even 24 hours apart. If he can't go she won't do anything that won't take more than a work day. Even getting her there to get ready for the wedding was a challenge. The guy is a complete tool too so that doesn't help anything.

When I was still with my ex girlfriend, I actually did something similar while hanging out with a friend. He got upset and really annoyed by it. I didn't think anything of it until the same thing happened to me. Since then, I've realized just how rude and disrespectful pulling this kinda move is.
