  • I appreciate your input a lot. We have joked a lot that he is definitely on the spectrum to some extent (and in some ways so am I) and it is honestly one of the biggest parts about it that makes me love him so much

    Everything you stated in your reply about how you feel, he has stated, especially with regards to space and downtime after stressful events and fights. Even the gremlins is an almost great parallel to how he explained it. I definitely struggled with that a lot in the past because of attachment issues; but, with therapy, I have definitely shifted to giving distance.

    I definitely will work harder on making him aware that he is not at fault or the issue (I do struggle at saying the right thing to make him see that I won’t lie).

    I do agree on the space/ personal space. He is sort of an interesting guy, I always offer for him to have a man cave, but he refuses. We have come to the unspoken compromise that if he closes the door to the bedroom or any room in particular, that’s a sign he wants to be alone and I do my best to respect it unless it is dire. But I will definitely push a man cave more, he really deserves the space

    I will look into more resources and the YouTube video.




  • Thank you. That was my partner as well. We would sit down and start a movie or show or activity but my partner always had their phone and would be on it for their own distraction. I realized too late and expressed myself in a way that made them feel less. I wish I expressed it better and didn’t make them feel inadequate and not enough because I asked for that

    I wish we didn’t break up less than an hour ago. I miss them already and they are just in the next room… I miss them like crazy


  • I think my relationship is coming to an end. My partner has been begging for communication and I am trying to ask for it in too many ways and not blunt enough. I sort of have to laugh because they don’t see the correlation and causation quality time could have on our communication.

    I know we are chronically online. I am guilty of it. But take it from me, your phone, Reddit, Facebook, talking to your exes to be friendly isn’t worth your partner if it hurts your connection to them. Sitting sort of beside your partner and focusing on your phone isn’t quality time.

    To my partner: I am sorry I let you down and I couldn’t articulate this point before in a way that didn’t hurt you



  • I absolutely loved my GS500. I could not agree more than it was a great starter bike and it was incredible to work on!

    The Hornet 599 is a lot of torquer and the type of bike that is a lot faster than what people realize. For me, it has been just as forgiving as the GS500 and an absolute blast to ride. It is a narrow bike which is awesome for curves but can suck for super long rides (but I blame it on the aftermarket sport pegs that were put in by the previous owner and my laziness to change them lol).

    I have friends call it ‘the old man’s sport bike’ and it is the perfect description of this bike (especially for the 919 which was based on Fireblade but was basically tuned down to be a naked sports bike).

    Tl;Dr- definitely a great bike I recommend to everyone to test ride at least once. But just the old models(Imo)
