All my gay friends have turned out to be bi. All my bi-curious friends have turned out to be straight or have a preference for the opposite gender. I know like one bisexual guy who is with a dude, and that's my ex's friend. And all my bi friends end up dating the opposite gender. I do not criticize this, but I do find it funny, as this happened to myself included.

I may have said I'm trans and a woman, but I really mean "trans" as in non-binary, yet still connected to womanhood, but I am technically cis in my womanhood. I now identify as a cis woman with she/they/it pronouns.

A lot has happened. So my ex I kept talking about was a trans dude. Now "he" is a girl again. She is omnisexual and I am bisexual and we are best friends. I deeply regret my past actions and realize I've been really shitty, so I went to work on myself a bit.

Anyway, we are in happy relationships now!

I used to criticize gay relationships, I'll admit, but ever since I became more accepting of my preference for men, I became more accepting of gay people. I guess I would especially get upset when my crushes or boyfriends were bisexual because there could be a chance that they won't be attracted to me, so I solved this by only dating straight men.

My happy relationship is with Jimmy, a straight ally, and my ex's Renee is with Chris, who is definitely an ally because Renee used to be only attracted to women and Chris didn't mind and now they're dating because Renee is omnisexual.

My attraction to women is very slight, but I am still bisexual. Renee's attraction to men is very slight, but it's still there, and she is still omnisexual. I think it's funny how we're on opposite ends, best friends, and how all this works. I also sincerely, deeply apologize for my actions. I know my mental health was not an excuse.

Hi, so I am (F). My boyfriend is obviously (M). So, a few days ago, we exchanged messages, which looked like this:

Hey, So, I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but can you not text, call, or hang out much anymore (like only hang out at restaurants)? I just don't like it. Again, I am real sorry to hurt you, I just don't really like communicating via telephone or hanging out. I am very introverted. Thanks <3

He responded with: "Don't worry! You're not hurting my feelings!! I will definitely talk less on the phone if that's what you want and talk more in-person."

I said "That's perfect <3 OK"

And all he sent yesterday was "Hi!" and not much else and I told him I couldn't talk so he stopped messaging altogether except for "hi, have a great day" or even just "Hi".

Seriously, walking, talking animal-men hybrids??? Mmmmmm 🤤

Sorry, just needed to say that

My partner almost broke up with me because of my stupid gaming addiction and he said we should just be friends. I talked him out of it and asked what I did wrong and that I would die without him, could he please take me back? He said he would take me back if I would spend more time with him and I said of course I would.

i feel like they can't expect me to do what they want in the relationship (spend more time with them and not friends and Super Mario/Nintendo games) but rather they should do what i want, which is just play with me and realize i can't be there for them.

i wouldn't call myself a Nintendo addict, but i do play for very long hours without even talking to my partner. yes, i've seen the other gaming post as a fedi lurker, but i also have a similar relationship. i don't talk to them because i'm so absorbed in my game that i forget and don't even think about them. i only think about them when i'm not playing a game, which is admittedly rarely, though i would never tell them this.

i can't be there for them when they're upset nor can i talk to them through their depression and anxiety because i'm busy on a game, but i really feel like they should give gaming a try. it's a fun form of escapism and shooters and Super Mario really help.
