This is coming from a guy I know you dont get asked this question as most people assume that you have more options than men so its easier to make the switch.
But having options "may" not always make things easier. Every bond is different.
And most mature women never go for temporary validations (rebounds, intoxications etc)
Would love to hear about the triggers that follow, and their respective coping mechanisms
Open up ladies !!! Stanley Hudson is curious
Well honestly it's hard, but I believe that no matter how difficult it gets never choose another person to move on with your life. Don't break someone's heart so you could heal yours .There are times when in a fight men choose not to communicate, that's what hurt women like anything, like learn to talk it out with her ..that silent treatment from a man really breaks a woman, and that sometimes men wouldn't even put effort to see what's hurting us and maybe that's why alot of women would cite a lack of understanding in their respective relationships. So when you a woman gets her heartbroken it's better she stays by herself rather than looking for a rebound cuz that will only mentally destroy her
@Sofetch Thats pretty tough ! Thanks for sharing
@Sofetch About that silent treatment thing, its the worst. The other person keeps blaming themselves for the agony and keeps suffering while the person who has given the pain flocks free.
Its similar to holding a heavy utensil without knowing its application, and the utensil just keeps on getting heavier and you have absolutely no clue as in why did this happen to you.
But here is the thing,
Kind hearts suffer the most But kindness always wins
Emotional rejection, huh? Women handle it better than men, Stanley. We don't drown in self-pity. We rise, stronger. "Naari Shakti Zindabad". How do you handle it, Stanley?
Have had two rejections, early in life (before and during graduation) I was teenager or just crossed teenage, and we look our worst at that time (atleast we cannot expect then), confidence is shitty
This developed as a coping mechanism that I leave before anyone can leaves me - romantic, friendship, even work (that one layoff was not handled well emotionally)
The only downside to this, which is also huge, I cannot mentally stay attached to someone, the constant fear of being left or been rejected has me on my toes.
@BiryaniEnthu More power to ya !
Women of Grapevine, what traits do you look for in a potential partner?
Trying out dating again, what are red flags I should look out for, green flags that are usually overlooked etc.
Any boundaries, guidelines to navigate early phas...
I posted this on Instagram story and got mixed reactions
Women were in agreement Men were - Oh please, I'll give you a list showing that's not true
What do grapeviners think?
When you put efforts in talking to someone you admire, and the reciprocation is not equal (life is not bed of roses)
How do you handle the hit on your self esteem?
Accept what it is and move on. Stop talking and get yourself working. You can't control others, just control yourself...
