Youve got problems, Ive got advice.
This advice isnt sugar-coatedin fact, its sugar-free, and may even be a little bitter.
Welcome to Tough Love.
I simply want to give you the tools you should probably enrich your damn lives.
If for whatever reason you dont like my advice, feel free tofile a formal complaint here.
Now then, lets get on with it.
Hello Patrick,
About a year and a half ago I bought a new car.
He assured me he had no plans.
However, earlier this month I was laid off from my job.
I never wanted a roommate.
Is there anything else I could or should be doing?
We are tenants at will, so theres no legal obligation.
Like I said, I just want to do the right thing.
Thanks,
Simply Red
Hey Simply Red:
Not all tough love is telling someone they did something wrong.
Sometimes its telling someone what they did right.
But I can still help you out here.
After all, I think youre being pretty nicea little too nice.
First off, checking in with a roommate about their living plans is a completely reasonable thing to do.
Its not like you told him, You cant move cause Im buying a car bro!
You just asked if hes staying so youd know if you could swing a car payment.
But now you probably need to move, and youre worried hell be mad at you.
For one thing, you asked him about his living situation a year and a half ago.
Even if it slightly bothered him then, hes surely over it by now.
And its not like you chose to be laid off.
If hes as good a guy as you say he is, hell understand that life happens.
Youre definitely free to move out whenever you like, especially since you have no legal obligation.
Good on you, youre doing the right thing!
That said, it might be an offer thats a little too nice.
Theres a chance this guy will take your good will the wrong way.
To be honest, I question your love for this person.
Or you ask them how they are doing and they open up to you.
Then, you stick with them and help while they get through that rough time.
He knows you want to get back togetheryou told him.
Give him space and let him decide if thats what he wants.
Its not about your feelings now.
Getting the Silent Treatmentasks:
Ive been talking to this guy for almost two years.
Recently, he told me he loved me and I said it back.
But then I remembered a few things that happened in the past and I brought them to his attention.
He said I made him feel awful and he stop talking to me.
I have apologized on several different occasions.
He likes my pictures on social media but wont talk to me.
How can I fix this?
Or should I let it go?
One: You watch a video that was about the sleeping positions you shouldnt try.
You watch it, but it uses females in lingerie to show the sleeping poses.
What do you do next?
Avoid those sleeping positions.
Why did they ever put women and in lingerie???
They had other options.
I dont know about this.
I dont know, maybe they thought it would attract more viewers.
Seemed to work for you.
Second: Lets say you watched the video.
Most people can probably learn and be mildly titillated at the same time.
If youre having a hard time with it, just dont watch it.
These attention seeking things play with the thought process and force the brain to work more.
Uh, I dont know about that.
The YouTubers and bloggers just dont care?
And no, they dont care.
Thank you in advance.
I want to get out of this thing.
Jeez, go masturbate or something dude.
