I don't think that enough attention is paid to the fact that people (men, in my case) will make you feel like you are their entire world, then drop

you like a bad habit made of GLASS. To say that I have a broken heart is to do a grand injustice to hearts, because I'm not sure there is even one left to break, or experience trust anymore. I know it goes both ways gender-wise, but from my lens..we women are trudging the earth with limitless wounds, and we are expected to bow our heads and carry on..as if it has not EVEN OCCURRED..as if we are not bleeding from all our new orifices, as it pools at our feet, making it even more slippery a surface to traverse in the future. And I will say it until I am blue in the face, although this is not my current situation: to make a woman believe you are in love MERELY TO SLEEP WITH HER, is a true LACK of consent. And though you may have been GENTLE, and you may not be PROSECUTABLE..you know what they call people who do not get CONSENT.

Even if a woman is pursuing me, I’m going to ask her if she’s “ok” before the first time we have sex.

“Yes” isn’t important. It’s “No” that matters. I’ve actually heard “no” once moments (literally) before sex. It really threw me because she was pursuing me. Well, it turns out she still had a boyfriend and was having difficulty having sex with me before breaking up with him.

If you don’t ask, you don’t know the angst someone might have despite what you perceive at the moment.

Since women may often have differing opinions on consent and sexual comfort levels, you have to communicate and be SURE. Revoking consent before or during is fine. Revising consent after is not.

All of us get hurt with breakups. Sometimes it’s difficult to read the room. Hopefully there was a clue that you just didn’t pay attention to. Getting 100% blindsided would suck for sure.

Ug that's the worst and you never know how they feel either. They could like you one minute and not the next. People can be great liars. I'm sorry

I understand. I've fully reached the conclusion that men just aren't able to feel actual love for anyone besides maybe their children. (And many can't even love their children)

It's just not in their makeup. They're wired for war and work, nothing else.

@DearAmbellina2113 i have seen love in action from a man, so i know it exists..just..perhaps not towards me as often.i WILL say that my best friend is male, and just got out of a DV sitch (he was the victim)..he held me while i cried last night, and has demonstrated true love toward me. wish i could love him back as romantically
Sorry you had such a hard blow I never understand some people.

@phoenixrising you know those tornado drills they do in school..head down, crouching, hands covering your head and neck? the blows keep coming, and i feel like i am COWERING some days that another punch will find PURCHASE in my skin. thank you for your kind words..i mean it.
Yeah... I'm done this time, too. Something in me just upped and died that day and I'm never going to be the same owl that I once was.

This has got to be my biggest pet peeve, to say it nicely. It's emotional immaturity and cowardice, imo.

@foldedunfolding Truly. They don't have the maturity to have a conversation.

Do you literally feel like your heart is broken?
And yes, it’s disgusting, but from the male point of view there’s no other way to have sex. They don’t realise the pain that they are causing.
I mean, I’m not like that ever since my first girlfriend at 16 I learn to respect feelings and invest my love into the woman.

@foldedunfolding I’m starting to understand why men manipulate you.
You deserve everything you got!
