I have a crush

Dear people.I have a crush on someone.Me and my partner are on a break due to relationship struggles for the past 2 years (almost roommates and now on break it feels like it’s an excuse for him to do less and make less effort.I cook clean give blowjobs look after everyone in the house and still work and pay bills yet I feel not loved at all.)I met someone and We met recent and he came to fix something(this is our 3rd time interaction)in my house and he was so nice and the chat with him was good and I added him on Snapchat.I felt a buzz straight away but I’m not sure if he felt it too.He seemed to enjoy our conversations and we laughed and was happy to add me on Snapchat but hasn’t messaged or anything.I posted a post today sending it to everyone including him but he didn’t reply back.I know he has an instagram so my question is Will it be too much to add him there too?I think he is much older than me so do you think that might be a turn off or should I just be bold?

I think you should stop acting like a teenager, twiddling your hair and fretting about Instagram likes.

Leave him alone and work on yourself for a bit. Number one on your list would be to stop all this "we're on a break" nonsense. Either shit or get off the pot. You're together or not. He sounds like a loser, so just get rid.

It's fine to have crushes. It's not ok to peruse them though. Keep it in your head and use them as masturbation fodder or something! The fact he hasn't replied to you on snapchat should tell you all you need to know about his interest (and lack there of).

Got it.😂I don’t have a lot of experience in these things so I didn’t know if it was a good idea to look into it or just move on.Thanks for the advice x

I agree with the first post.
We are on a break i have a crush sounds like a 15 year old (cringe).

So you’re ’on a break’ but still his skivvy and giving him blow jobs? Doesn’t sound like very healthy break to me
What are you getting from this?

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/02/2025 11:06

Your 'partner' sounds like an arse so just make the break permanent and stop thinking about another relationship until you are properly out of the one you're in.

Work on your self esteem so you aren't skivvying and servicing a lazy bloke.

Then, later, think about dating someone. And not someone 'much older'.

we haven’t been intimate since we are on a break.And I just feel like cooking and cleaning and stuff is my job it’s how I have been brought up and in return I get love and attention but obviously I’m not getting much love hence why we are trying to figure out if we have a future(plus small suspicion that he has someone on the side because of constant money missing and longer days at work but no bigger monthly wage)As I said this has a long history for us to get to a break and a lot of other side things going on (sorry if i sounded cringe the main post was just for advice that I already received.I may sound like a 15 year old but my experience with men and relationships is probably worse that the 15 year olds nowadays)(please no judgment)

If you think that doing all the cooking and cleaning will get you love and attention you're in for a huge disappointment and resentment. You will only atract users.

This. Making yourself the servant means men treat you like the servant.

Any man happy to let a woman do all the housework is a misogynist. And therefore you are living with one. In future, expect equal housework, and love in both directions.
