—shariallgood —princesspea09 —sittinginmyfartcloud —thefashionista1012 —bsmiley2007 When I explain that I’ve tried those things and that they weren’t effective for me, they then tell me, ‘You must just not be trying hard enough.’ I tell people early on now so I don’t waste my time, because most people with the incessant need to ‘fix’ their partner will try to do so as soon as they can." —dragonbunny —u/NoMameMijito —parkerlove —annab4fef789d4 —osubuck182002 —hieverythingsgreat —dustable —u/Quiet_talk —iamthelizardqueen —abby_rose11 —nikola2393 When I told him after the date that I didn’t want to see him again, he said I was clearly looking for someone ‘posh, who wears tweed.’ No, babe, I just don’t want a rude arsehole."   —iamthelizardqueen I completely understand that some people have genuine issues with their family, but this wasn’t the case here. He just thought he was so much better than all of them — like he’d somehow been able to ‘cast off the shackles’ of his origins.  Now don’t get me wrong — I definitely don’t always see eye to eye with my family, but ultimately, they raised me and I respect them. His level of disrespect toward the people who raised him jumpstarted me into seeing that he was actually very condescending toward anyone who didn’t measure up to his perceived standards." —m4d4e02be6 —u/Whohead12 If someone can’t handle being a decent human being when I’m depressed, what are they going to act like when it’s my mom?
