Ending dating because of compatibility issues

Hey @AnnoyedSheDevil, thanks for sharing your experiences with the community!

Sounds like you have been through a lot with your relationship and have made a brave decision to end this new one, as you are not compatible. Very courageous decision!

I encourage you to continue to share your experiences with the community!

Take care

Hi @AnnoyedSheDevil ,

Sounds like you have had some negative experiences with relationships in the past, and sounds like this current person is not meeting your needs and values in a relationship either.

I like that you have the wisdom and insight to notice the behaviours and attitudes that are not compatible with you early on, and the courage to end relationships that are not healthy for you.

I hope the conversation with him goes well - feel free to let me know either way.

I'm curious why you don't think "dating could be healthy" for yourself. Is that due to the stage of processing cPTSD-related difficulties? Or something else?

Hi @AnnoyedSheDevil thanks for sharing.

Firstly know you true worth, only let people in who are truly worth your time. You don't need to date as much as you need to find great friends, ideally male friends

You need to understand there are plenty of wonderful understanding, caring people who will not judge, are not looking for a relationship and a just genuine good people with boundaries and understanding.

You already know the signs and it's best to step away from your current relationship while you can..

it may not be easy to find male friends but currently any friend will do, people who are present and will not make you nervous.

Hopefully dating with a genuine guy might come down the track but for now make it about you and you only.

Take care and I wish you all the best and may you connect with the right people soon.

I have only just been diagnosed with C-ptsd, still waiting on the psychiatrist's report.

I also only broke up less than a year ago, I'm still working through so much. Up until 6-8 weeks ago I was still in a depressive episode.

Planning on working on myself and my mental health with my psychologist. Honestly, I also have just enjoyed being single.

Enjoying being single is a great and healthy reason @AnnoyedSheDevil ! 😊

I hope the conversation with him went well.

Im glad you have someone to work through the cptsd with. 😊 and giving yourself the space to do that.
