Love, Relatable and Awkward: Better late than never

Better late than never

By nice is not enough - 27/11/2021 22:59

Today, I had to admit to myself that I’m not attracted to my boyfriend on any level. I agreed to go out with him because he's a nice guy, but the reality is we have absolutely nothing in common. Not to mention, we have the sexual chemistry of a vegan and a bacon cheeseburger. FML

That's kind of a big issue

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years, who I love with every fiber in my body, just told me that he's not attracted to me. Not in any way, shape, or form. FML

Today, I realized I have more in common with a cantaloupe than I do with my boyfriend. FML

Today, after years in a relationship I realized that my partner does not like the music I listen to, the food I cook, the pictures I take, the way I dress. The only thing she likes is when I take her out to eat. FML

Is this dude a puma?

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. Why? Because I became a vegetarian. Apparently, he doesn't believe in "not eating meat." FML

Paranoid

By dumb&dumped - 17/04/2023 15:00 - United States

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after we played the "Which celebrity would you sleep with?” game. He decided that since all my answers were guys who looked nothing like him, that I must secretly find him unattractive. Oh and that I would cheat with any of those guys if given the opportunity. FML

When people pleasing goes too far

By Maya R - 21/04/2023 09:30 - India - Delhi

Today, I had to break up with a friend who I couldn't tolerate as a boyfriend. I don't know if the reason was physical unattractiveness, bad body odour, or a forced relationship. The reason I said yes was I didn't want to lose a friend at workplace. I don't know why I had an aversion from him as a boyfriend. I hated it. FML

Types

Today, my boyfriend of over a year and I were discussing how neither of us is the other's usual "type". I explained that I usually go for insular asshole types and then asked him what made me different from his usual choices. He said "Oh, well, I usually go for the attractive ones." FML

Today, in an attempt to break up with my boyfriend, I told him, "I don't feel a mental connection between us." His reply? "Why do we need a mental connection?" FML

If you're the bacon cheeseburger, message me! If you're the vegan, aw, better luck next time.

Well, there quite a lot of tasty, healthy vegan dishes. And what if she's a cheap, old, overcooked bacon cheeseburger? I'd rather just toss her salad then.

No desire in bed means the relationship’s dead …. Or some other pithy comment that I’m too exhausted to come up with. Point being…. If you’re not attracted to him and you have nothing in common, the kindest thing you can do is break it off. It isn’t fair to you and it isn’t fair to him. I’d say that you can likely break up and stay friends but, tbbh, if you have nothing in common there isn’t much hope for that either.

I've done this thinking I could grow to like them and I was just being petty and superficial. In my experience it your not attracted go someone don't try and force it.
