So, are we taking bets on whether she got realistic, measured replies to her question from the fellow women? Put me down for $500.
You sound like a very successful man. Your father's insecurities don't need to bother you. I think that probably all you need to do it develop a way to say "Enough Dad, I have heard what you are saying, thanks for the advice but I want to move on to something else now." Then ignore his fear mongering.
It is only a distraction because you let it be. You can tell him you have had enough of it and things will be different going forward. Tell him this when he is not actively doing it. Then learn to get out of conversations where he is doing it. You need to create this separation or the relationship will become a problem, when actually its his insecurity that is the problem but its your life not his.
I stopped listening to my mom on everything many years ago because she always said I couldn't do XYZ because it wouldn't work or whatever, so then I would just do XYZ anyway to make a point
I got tired of proving her wrong when I was younger and just stopped informing her of anything I wanted to do
I don't even update her on much of my life when we do talk because the second I say anything i know I'm going to get some nonsense about it
Why can't you just stop listening to your dad if he's affecting you this much
I'm debating quitting the apps all together
No, please, don't do that! We men will miss you something fierce if you do that. We promise to be more kind, consistent, interesting, attractive, and emotionally available! Just keep on swiping and you're basically guaranteed to find your Prince Charming sooner or later!
@Vermillion-Rx pretty much nailed it for you. 90%+ she is not interested.
I’d only add that there is an off chance she was actually just too busy, or just getting too many messages at that time in general.
And there’s no need to remove your text. If she did see it, deleting/unfollowing shows you are kind of butthurt. And on the off chance she really was busy, she may literally not have seen it.
Cut him out of your life?
If it’s been going 20+ years, and you have the financial independence, you can do that, right?
So what ever happened to those 2-3 potentially good partners you were meeting each year?
Hurled out the car window like empty Doritos bags after you'd gotten what you'd wanted out of them, were they?
My dad has actively sabotaged my success since I was 10. I’m 31 now and it’s affecting my career. What do I do?
I've realized that for a huge portion of my life, my dad has constantly brought me down. It started when I was 10 years old and excelling in mathematics. My teacher called me the smartest in the class, but when I told my dad, he denied it. Later, when I had a homework assignment that would get me into a gifted track, he sabotaged it to make sure I got a zero. I remember it vividly now.
In addition, whenever I had achievements—like landing a top-notch internship—he tried to deny that they were "real." He would fight with me over text, telling me not to go, until a relative confirmed it was legitimate. Even then, when I headed off to the internship during college, he acted strange and dark.
Now that I'm connected to many successful people and pursuing entrepreneurship, he keeps trying to plant doubt in my head, bring me down, and make me feel lesser. He has been trying to make me doubt my life, my career, and everything else, despite the fact that I have already secured opportunities that can pay multiple six figures and single-handedly got into an Ivy League school to study computer science.
I am now turning 31. What do I do about this? It is starting to become a major distraction in my life.
