“Trying so hard not to fall into Red Pill”

Red Pill

My experiences with women have been terrible. No matter how much effort I put into putting myself out and listening to people’s advice, I’m always ending in the same outcome. Rejection. Rejection. Rejection. I’m pretty sure it’ll almost be 10 rejections in a row.

I just can’t understand why women don’t like me. I talk to them with the intention of getting to know them and be friendly and then I’ll show romantic interest. And as soon as I do, I’m rejected.

And I’m finding it really hard to believe height and race don’t matter. People will tell me “just go outside and you’ll see short/brown people in relationships” – but just cause you see it happen sometimes doesn’t mean it’s not insanely difficult.

“Should I Leave My Wife?”

I love my wife, but I don’t know if I can live like this anymore. We’ve been married for over a year, and after moving in together, I discovered she had extreme cleanliness rules she hid while we were dating.

Everything from the outside is considered dirty—I have to undress in the entryway, shower immediately, disinfect my phone and glasses, and even retrieve my clothes in my underwear if I want to re-wear them. If I step outside, even briefly, I have to shower again. Groceries must be individually cleaned before being put away. If I drop something on the floor, it’s “contaminated” and either needs to be thrown away or heavily sanitized. She scrubs surfaces constantly and gets visibly distressed if something isn’t done “correctly.” Despite my efforts to comply, she gets angry if anything goes wrong, and she’s just as hard on herself.

“I’m 28, Still Living at Home, and I Don’t Feel a Rush to Change”

I’m a 28 year old man and I still live with my parents. I have a part time job that covers my basic expenses, and my parents don’t pressure me much about money or moving out. I don’t date, mostly because I don’t feel like I have much to offer right now, and honestly, I don’t feel a strong pull to change that.

From the outside, I know this probably looks like I’m stuck or avoiding adulthood. Friends from high school are married, have careers, or at least live on their own. I’m aware of the gap, but I don’t feel panicked about it. My life is comfortable. I have my routines, my hobbies, and very little stress.

“My partner has an IQ of 72”

My partner is in a college/work training program and has been struggling a lot. Recently, he was referred to student support to assess for possible learning or mental disabilities. As part of that process, he took an IQ test and scored 72.

I wasn’t completely surprised. He often struggles with basic tasks and lacks common sense. Still, he’s a kind person, and I’ve tried to see him through a compassionate lens—like maybe he just needed more time to learn. But now, knowing this number, it feels different. This isn’t just about immaturity anymore. I’m starting to realize I may always have to carry most of the mental and emotional load in our relationship.

“My 18-Year-Old Daughter is Dating a 51-Year-Old Man”

My 18-year-old daughter has been dating a 51-year-old man for two months. My husband and I strongly disapprove of the relationship—not just because of the age gap, but because he’s older than either of us and we fear she’s being manipulated.

When we confronted her, things escalated. She moved out and is now living with him. We tried involving local authorities, but were told there’s nothing they can do since she’s legally an adult.

Now we’re empty nesters, blindsided, heartbroken, and deeply concerned. I feel depressed and helpless. How do I cope with this situation?

“Should I tell my best friend that his girlfriend hit on me?”

To be fully transparent, my best friend and I didn’t always get along. We hated each other once upon a time, and it was over a girl that we were both trying to go out with. Years later we squashed it and became best friends, and I would say we trust each other very well.

Recently while we were seshing, his girlfriend made a couple of comments to me like, “He’s lucky I didn’t meet you first,” and some other stuff about how lucky my girls are. She also touched me on the leg a couple of times while she was saying it.

Idk if I should tell him because of the past issues we’ve had over women. What should I do?

“Husband claims he only messages happy ending locations but never goes..”

Found out that my husband has been communicating with a happy ending/escort/sex worker company (it’s called only real men can handle) through our phone records. It has almost always been when I’m out of town. He clams that it’s a sort of fetish/fantasy of his to message them and ask who’s working, make an appointment, and not go.

Apparently, he’s been doing this our entire 8 year relationship, but he claims he never once went while we were together. He admitted that he has gotten happy endings before, but only when single.

“Why can’t she just fucking stop sometimes?”

We were just sitting in the car, not even arguing, just existing. And I looked over at her and in my head, I said, “Why can’t she just fucking stop sometimes?”
Stop being difficult.
Stop snapping at me and the kids over every little thing.
Stop being so damn cold all the time.
Stop acting like everything we do is a burden to her.
Just… stop.

“Advice on being alone for the rest of my life”

How do I cope with being single and lonely for the rest of my life? I’ve learned to accept that I’m an unattractive woman. How do I accept the fact that I will be single for the rest of my life? Are there any tips to permanently get rid of attraction and the urge to be with someone?

Do not say things like: “Oh, you’re not unattractive or you haven’t found the right person yet.” I don’t need false positivity or encouragement. Do not talk about how you were alone for years and then found your partner. I’m not interested. Let’s be realistic, not everyone gets married or finds the right person. A lot of people die alone, and I strongly feel like I’m one of those people.
