Every Friday, just say whatever is in your mind in this post. It doesn’t need to be a question, and go on whatever tangent you want to go on.
We will still be enforcing our rules on gendered slurs, bigoted/disrespectful/hateful commentary, invalidation (if someone’s only contribution is telling others they are wrong), medical issues, and relationship advice. However the comments don’t need to be on a specific topic, and they don’t need to be open-ended questions.

How important are healthy male adult relationships for women as they are growing up?
Is the proverbial male persona a trope, or is he really critical to her upbringing, even keel?
What does the “normal” beginning of a FWB-ship or relationship feel like versus a toxic one?
I have no prior context for anything EXCEPT toxic, so I don’t know what a detailed side by side comparison would look like.
I’m at month 3, and I’m deliberately holding myself back after experiencing what felt like lovebombing in month 2, to see what he does. He’s now pulled back significantly and is treating me as more of a friend. No flirting, he had 0 reaction to seeing me nude lol, no random sweet “thinking of you” texts. Pretty much went from 100% to 50 within a month.
I am stuck wondering if it’s because I’ve held back? Do I need to be demonstrating interest if he feels like he’s done all the chasing the last 3 months and has finally given up?
Lord help me 😩😔 I don’t know what I’m doing!! what’s normal/abnormal?
