Doubting, if I made a wild guess that you are calling for help, what help might you like?

Merged into DT Megathread - cp
What do you think an honest discussion looks like?
I guess when both parties are interested? It's clear that hardly anyone on this board cares about the struggles of men, and that's fine. However, how can people become interested when all the topics that I create are merged into one? It's clear that the headlines I was creating were getting people's attention, until you (the mods) decided to throw all of them into this megathread.
Yes, or at least I should travel more.

Was the therapy useful? When I was in therapy I didn't think to talk about relationships. I wish I did. Being a Mormon student I felt pressure to marry the first guy I dated. Which is fine. I'd have married him eventually but it was all rushed because of the pressure. There's an expectation to be married and have babies for LDS women in their early 20s.
True statement. Though, we do take our time in the appraisal and allow for the asset to mature.doubtingthomas wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 12:11 amIt should also be clarified that not everyone here is valued the same.

You are free to do whatever you want with threads I create, but you should clarify in the rules that this board is not a fully free-speech board, and that some topics might get relegated into a megathread by you. It should also be clarified that not everyone here is valued the same.
That's just my suggestion.
Would it be worth trying therapy again but trying to focus on relationships? I have been going to counselling (therapy) and have been talking more about relationships this time. She doesn't really let me stray too far. She tends to bring everything back to me and I tend to try to talk about everyone else. She said I am diverting.doubtingthomas wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 12:17 amYes, or at least I should travel more.
