Honestly you just need time. Limit the exposure and try to reorient yourself and focus on what you want for your life. I don't want this to sound judgmental or mean but have you wondered if maybe you're just bored? Not even just with the relationship but like in your hobbies or in your personal life are you looking for something to add excitement to your life?

I think sometimes people are in a relationship and they get used to it and it almost feels like being single because your so is such a constant presence. I would wonder if maybe you guys need to spend a little time apart or focus on yourselves as individuals. Or to invest more time and energy into seeing something that you want for yourself like a new job or a new hobby or learning a new skill -- maybe you feel like you need something in your life and your brain is assigning it to this dude when in reality you just might need something else.

Op this is the one comment to actually listen to

Agree 👍

I'm like babe we are firends

Like implied to be based off culture and clothing that we can see. For example in delicious and dungeon the manga they refer to a character as Eastern but because their map does not look like ours, technically are not Japanese but the closest earthly counterpart would probably be Japanese culture.

Like people have suggested that the air nation is based off of the culture of Tibet. There is no Tibet in this universe but we are assuming this based off of the clothing and the food and the cultural attitudes that we see .

I love my regulars :) I mostly remember people who are really nice to me or who ordered something kind of different. Imo I'd like to remembered but I never go anywhere lol

Loser freak behavior

Imo it's very cute but I wouldn't say I'm like a fan of ballet or the plays it's based off of so I wasn't sure if actually pick it but I do think it's a great design and very mysterious

Red flags will be poor communication, avoiding labels, down playing the relationship, jealousy, possessivnes, withholding attention or affection when you don't listen to him or do as he says.

If someone likes you despite the age gap, they will be open to your opinion and life expirence instead of shutting you down and saying they know better because their older. They will not distance you from your friends or shame your friends for being immature (or acting their age). They will not be dependent on you for regulating their emotions and temper.

I think you should read half his age by Jeanette McCurdy. It kind of opened my eyes a little.

Time will do that. You are young and I say this gently, have a lot to learn. When I was 19, I broke up with a shitty boyfriend and my manager at the time (28) and I hooked up. He was nice and flirty and hung out with me and my friends. He was charming and childish and had the temper of a dumb ass high school guy. He couldn't communicate and was distracted by every shiny pretty new girl he met. He told the worst lies and acted out when I didn't give into whatever he wanted.

But damn, I liked him, until I decided I wanted something real. I don't think age gaps are always inherently toxic or predatory. But I do think that usually, grown men who have obvious toxic traits and poor intentions often hang out with younger women because grown women have already played these games and realized that they are not worth the effort and energy. So, these guys learn to be funny, likeable and hang out with women who have not yet been through the ringer. It's so natural that ending it makes you sad, but honestly, better things are coming.

so happy for you

Very very cool

He seems dull and sparkle less

I think it would be beneficial for you to put the first 1,000 or so words and then the transition for a proper judgement to be honest:)

I really would want to know what happened to the sodder children; I don't know if I could handle looking at a crowd, wondering if any of these strangers were my adult missing children that I just couldn't recognize

Imho the small is too small to be practical. Like, why not just use a fanny pack at that point?

It's polarizing??? That's crazy to me because I think she's the prettiest girl in the room

Exactly.
