Sorry, is this your ex-girlfriend you were talking about who was bullying your friend or whatever? Or just in general? Anyway, she probably needs an outlet for her pain if she was bullied but it doesn’t excuse her behavior in any way.

On one hand, maybe y’all need some time. On the other, you kinda are bad for ghosting your “friend”. What the hell?

Belle, age 16, throws away the heart of Catherine, age 15. She didn't really love Catherine, not really, so she had to string along Catherine like a doll so as not to upset her. I suppose, in a way, it seemed like a different kind of love, the way she didn't want to upset her.

Catherine gave and gave, and Belle sat, taking it all and forcing herself to give when she had barely anything. Belle, age 36, calls Catherine one day, her old friend from high school. She's finally ready to tell her she misses her and loves her, all those sweet words she didn't want to say 20 years prior. And yet Catherine said "I moved on, Belle. Why can't you?"

yes, you are TA. You are absolutely leading her on in this case and your shrugging isn't gonna help anything. It's just gonna make her upset. You gotta communicate with people.

Good comment. Thanks a bunch!

 

So, I (FtM) have this one cis woman friend who constantly makes fun of people who use pronouns like xe/xem, neopronouns, etc. I've also heard, though, that those pronouns make fun of the LGBTQ community, so I don't know how I should feel when my friend bullies and makes jokes about neopronoun users online.

Not overreacting, it could be a red flag. I would say your feelings and thoughts definitely are valid, but give her the benefit of the doubt and also ask what's going on, don't make false accusations. Break up with her if she turns out to be bullying your friend and/or making you choose between her or him as an ultimatum.

Uhh… your GF sucks and you should break up. I’m sorry to hear this :(

I’m sorry. You are a terrible person. You sound awful.

I think she did break up with you. Sorry to hear, man. I think you should take a break from Lemmy and breathe. Please, going forward, respect her boundaries and don't pry further if she sent a goodbye message.

Don't worry! I'm sure she just thinks it's too soon in the relationship. Only be concerned when she starts going all out then like pulling away, like another user said.

 

In this case, Natasha and her friends.

Natasha is one of the "owners" of Catherine, who she decides to treat as a "pet" because she reminds her of a cat (hence the name CATherine). Natasha and her friends invite Catherine into the friend group and they all live together, but Catherine is treated badly there and Natasha makes a plan to kill Catherine.

She doesn't see Catherine as a person, but as an actual animal, a tool, and a nuisance, and wants to badly mistreat her which ends up traumatizing her.

Pretending to like someone, I think

 

I see people “being led on” a lot and I wonder, what are some actual signs of leading someone on in a relationship?

My 2 yr relationship with my GF is very good, I’m just curious because I do hear the phrase a lot without knowing the literal signs of it.

I also may have been “led on” before by exes.

It's cute that you're already feeling the "honeymoon" feelings, but I think you should talk to her and go at her pace so she feels comfortable too. If you're feeling bummed, try self-care first and don't feel pressured too much to be super attached. Maybe set goals and keep it consensual, like hand holding, then hugging, etc.

I (trans man) have a best friend (cis man). Today, he texted me, saying that he encountered one of his friends (cis man) and the friend's boyfriend (trans man).

While I see the friend's boyfriend as quite androgynous leaning masculine, my best friend thinks he looks rather feminine and "just like a girl".

He still is trying to understand LGBTQ stuff, especially since he has had a transphobic, homophobic upbringing.

Anyway, my best friend called the boyfriend "she", so he replied with "I'm a guy, actually."

This confused my friend, apparently, and he said "How was I supposed to know when he looks so feminine?"

What is some advice I can give my friend? He's trying to understand, like I said, and I fully acknowledge and believe we are ALL guys. Everyone involved in this post. Me, my friend, his friend, and the boyfriend.
