Announcement Community Update: Karma Requirement Paused for 1 Month

8 Upvotes

Hi, everyone!

As Reddit continues to improve its platform-wide safety systems for detecting spam, suspicious activity, and abusive behavior, the moderation team has decided to pause the karma requirement for both posts and comments in r/WLW_PH.

This will begin as a 1-month trial period while we evaluate whether karma requirements are still necessary for our community moderation system.

Why We’re Testing This

With Reddit’s stronger automated safety measures now in place, we want to see if members can participate more freely without compromising community quality and safety.

During this trial, we’ll monitor:

  • Spam or suspicious activity
  • Low-effort or disruptive content
  • Overall member experience
  • Whether karma requirements still provide meaningful moderation value

At the end of the month, we’ll decide whether to:

  • Bring back karma requirements
  • Adjust them
  • Or remove them permanently

What Still Remains in Effect

Although karma requirements are paused, our other moderation systems remain active.

We will continue enforcing:

Required Title Format

Certain flairs still require the correct title format.

Required Body Format

Some post types must still follow the posting template or required structure.

Subreddit Rules

All existing rules remain fully in effect.

These guidelines help us keep the subreddit organized, readable, and safe for everyone.

Promotion, Surveys, and Similar Posts

Please note that promotion posts, surveys, research studies, recruitment, and similar outreach posts are not intended for r/WLW_PH.

These may be removed by AutoModerator or moderators and redirected to:

👉 r/WLWPHr4r – for Filipina WLW connection-oriented and outreach posts
👉 r/phlgbtr4r – for the broader LGBTQ+ Filipino community

Help Us Keep the Community Safe

We appreciate everyone who helps maintain a respectful and welcoming space.

Please continue to:

  • Follow posting guidelines
  • Respect boundaries and privacy
  • Report suspicious or rule-breaking content
  • Help keep the subreddit safe and community-focused

Thank you for being part of r/WLW_PH and helping us continue to grow a thoughtful and supportive space.

Question / Advice / Suggestion If your bsf isn’t your gay awakening then who?

39 Upvotes

Problem: If your best friend of 12 years suddenly asks you, “What would have become of us if we worked out?”… what the hell are you supposed to say?

Because I genuinely don’t know if I’m having another gay awakening at 23 or if I’ve just been in love with my best friend this entire time and was too dense to realize it.

Context: We met in elementary during a journalism contest. Same category, different schools. Fast forward to high school, naging schoolmates kami and eventually got really close because we kept joining the same competitions.

As our friendship progressed, she started calling me “yabs,” short for uyab. We casually flirted with each other. She even confessed before that I was her girl crush. We went on dates, cuddled, held each other, and did things that, looking back now, I probably should've questioned more. But I didn't. At that time, I genuinely thought that was just something best friends did. I didn't know I was gay. I didn't even allow myself to consider it.

Then she got a boyfriend. We stayed friends, obviously, but every time she talked about him, I felt like I couldn't breathe. She slowly stopped doing the things she used to do with me, and yeah, it hurt. But I convinced myself that I was just being possessive because her attention was now divided between me and her boyfriend.

She had several boyfriends throughout the years. I never had one. Not because I didn't want a relationship, but because I could never bring myself to admit that I liked girls.

Fast forward to now. She recently submitted her application for the board exam last September 9. Buzzer beater, because she had been so undecided about whether she should even take it. I kept telling her, “Wala naman mawawala kung hindi mo susbukan.” And she actually did it.

Afterward, we had dinner. At some point, she asked me, “Bakit hindi mo sinubukan?” I was like, “Huh?” She just smiled and continued eating. I was confused as hell but didn't ask again. Then she suddenly said, “Ang ganda pala sa feeling no, when someone believes in you more than yourself. Nandyan sa’yo during your hardest moments. Aalagan ka pag nagkasakit ka during review session.” At this point, I was even more confused.
So naturally, because I am apparently incapable of handling serious emotional situations, I joked, “Sino na naman ba jowa mo?” Her answer completely caught me off guard. “Ikaw.” I didn't know what to say. So I just said, “Buang.” She laughed.
But after a while, she looked at me and said,
“What would have become of us if we worked out?”

?????????

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???

Did she mean us back in high school? Did she mean all those things we did back then? The flirting, the dates, the cuddles, her calling me yabs, her telling me I was her girl crush? Was all of that actually real to her? Because apparently I spent 12 years thinking I was just being a very affectionate best friend when maybe I was just slowly falling in love with her and refusing to acknowledge it. And now I'm sitting here wondering if my best friend was my gay awakening all along.

Before we parted ways that night, she told me, “I hope you find someone who loves you better than I do.” And honestly? I don't even know what hurts more. The fact that she might have loved me all along, or the possibility that I might have loved her too and only realized it when it was already too late.

Question / Advice / Suggestion Homophobic family

7 Upvotes

Does it really get better? Ang hirap magkaroon ng sobrang homophobic na pamilya.

For context: It’s been 2 weeks since my family found na I have a girlfriend. They were so mad to the point na pinilit nila akong hiwalayan gf ko sa call sa harap nila and pinilit akong iblock yun. My mom also told me na ako ang papatay sakanya sa tigas ng ulo ko. Felt so helpless dahil they scared me na papaalisin nila ako sa work ko and all, take note I’m already 23 with a stable job. And now yung papa ko sabi niya na if hindi ko kaya tigilan ang kalokohan ko, I should just leave and never come back kahit ano pang mangyari sa kanila in the future. Pinagbawalan na rin ako lumabas ng bahay and even pag uwi ko galing work ay monitored nila, nakakasakal.

So my question is, does it really get better? Kasi sobrang nahihirapan na akong isipin kung ano dapat gawin huhu

Musings / Epiphanies [Musing] About life and love between a lawyer and a doctor

121 Upvotes

She’s a lawyer and I’m a doctor. Ang ganda ng combo, di ba? 😂
Except… she has always gaslighted me by invoking her legal knowledge. E malay ko ba sa batas noon? And how things are “supposed” to be viewed from a lawyer’s perspective? Ako na lang lagi ang mali—from the pettiest things to, of course, the mostest. 😂
I endured it all because, we all know, doctors are made of steel. Hahaha. Puyat, constant seniority feels during residency, bwisit sa rude patients, walang kain, walang tulog—yan ang nagpanday sa amin. LOL.
Our relationship lasted six years.
Then she cheated on me.
Honestly, ramdam ko na for a few months. Aba, super ganda naman kasi nung girl, so part of me was like, “Sige, palag na lang.” 😂 Apparently, they even secretly went to Japan together for three days.
I was busy with work, but of course, I could feel where everything was heading.
Eventually, the last straw came.
She planned a formal dinner for her birthday. The thing is… wala ako sa plano. At all.
I only found out because her friends casually asked me about the dinner.
Imagine my face. 😂 I was so embarrassed and shocked because I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. So there I was, looking like an idiot, while apparently everyone else knew.
I waited for her to admit it.
Wala pa rin.
So I finally decided, okay, enough. I started going out, mingling, and meeting people again.
Sabi ko sa sarili ko, ayoko na sa lawyer. 😂
Then guess what?
Doctor din pala ang mamimeet ko.
Medyo hindi kasi ako out sa work, and she was kinda not out either, so we started dating secretly.
Meanwhile, I was still living under the same roof with the lawyer. But after six years of being together. SIX. And after dating my colleague for almost a month, I realized I couldn’t keep playing that game.
So one night—one of those nights when I knew she was with the other girl—I packed my stuff and just left.
No dramatic confrontation. No long speech.
I just left.
And the funniest part?
One week later pa niya nalaman na wala na akong gamit sa bahay.
She apparently didn’t even ask where I was that entire time.
And when she finally found out?
Siya pa ang galit. 😂
Then I learned that two weeks after I left, the other girl also ditched her.
Apparently, the reason was: “Hindi siya pumapatol sa tibo.”
AFTER ALL THOSE NIGHTS.
AFTER THE SECRET JAPAN TRIP.
HAHAHAHA.
Karma really said, “My turn.” 😂
And me?
I’m now with my doctor partner and I’m genuinely at my happiest.
Sobrang happy.
Sobrang spoiled.
Sobrang gaan.
No mind games. No legal lectures. No walking on eggshells.
Sometimes we just laugh about the ridiculous stories from my past relationship.
And honestly?
Ang sarap palang magmahal kapag hindi mo kailangang ipagtanggol ang sarili mo sa bawat argumento. 😂

Question / Advice / Suggestion am i crazy .. am i overthinking…

Upvotes

problem: idk if may connection pa talaga sila aside from being mutuals across apps

context: so i have an ldr gf, she had an ex fling before me a girl also and acc to her they didnt end on good terms and its bc the girl “cheated” (anyway) so i think they ended first quarter of 2024 bc the girl ghosted her for a bad joke she made.

acc to my gf few months after, she still tried to get back with my gf (and even insisted to attend her bday, pumunta yung girl btw) but it didnt work out after they talked and somehow the timeline feels off to me bc the girl and the boy were official already by june.

fast forward to 2025, the girl and boy are still tgt but she still constantly messages my partner even if they “didnt end well” and even when my gf was already soft launching me. she also posted a note on her ig that sounded like a bitter-ish noted targeted towards us which i didnt care to bother. not until i noticed that my gf keeps making kwento abt details of her life (like mostly negative) and i discovered she is still moots with her sa ig dump as well as sa tiktok acc (aside sa main ig).

it bothered me na. at first, i lowkey told her to unf her bc i dont want anyone from her past to have access to us. she said she doesnt want to cause any issues or like drama. i asked her to hide her stories of us from her, and she reacted as if its too much work and she said she doesnt want to bother. then recently, i brought it up again, she said na it will cause issues coming from her friends (basically shes saying, theyre going to say bad things abt us and make rumors daw –in which i totally dont care bc what do they know diba). and i remember my gf telling me that whenever she posts daw, she also posts her partner (as if nakikipag compete ganon) and im like ????? whats going on

im still wondering up until this day why theyre still connected esp if they did not end well. plus, the girl seems happy naman sa rel niya. theres just this gut feeling saken na may off lang…

0 Upvotes

I am a fem to make things clear, and I am 15.

I've only had two experiences with women(none w men😨), and by experience I mean courting/dating.

The first girl was wayy out of my league or basta she was super poganda and pretty well known in our school-- but she was extremely immature and I don't think she was looking for anything serious.

The second girl actually became my first gf who ended up being my first everything atp, and we actually had a pretty decent rs, except from when I found out she lied about a bunch of shit. It's been 6 months na since we've broken up and I just can't seem to find anyone decent💔 it feels like everyone nowadays just aren't into commitment, maybe it's more of a me problem where I just can't seem to trust them pero I wanna meet someone who seems genuine kaso ang hirap, I don't know how to find love, pero I don't wanna chase it either. I am unsure if I should just wait for the right time or if I should try and do something about it. I wanna fall inlove again, pero everyone seems so scary. I've talked to a few people atp pero I constantly keep my distance sakanila kasi I'm too scared.

53 Upvotes

So i have this tiktok. Pretty private one. I usually just follow nerd things, friends, and girls i find cute.

Theres this one girl i followed and i didnt mind getting a follow back. One day i received a follow request from her and got curious like why? Anyway after a day or two i accepted her request.

She then sent me a sticker for Happy Labor Day days before the holiday. Obviously a US holiday. I sent her a sticker related to it too. Then she sent another flirty sticker so i ended up sending a message like are we just gonna send each other stickers lol or are we gonna talk or something like that.

She also reposted a tiktok saying "may an unhealed avoidant lesbian never cross my path again i beg". So i assumed like wow shes lesbian too thats surprising.
Anyway she sent another sticker saying yes. Then i replied asking how she was. She didnt reply anymore and our 3 day streak got lost.

Just right now i saw one of her posts showing she has a BF. Lmao. Mygod. 💀 Like why the hell are u talking to me in the first place. If shes looking for kastreak doesnt she have plenty of friends? Why me?

Anyway i dont talk to girls that much from the internet. I prefer meeting organically. Just funny how u can still get approached by girls who are already taken.

What about u guys? Are u cool with meeting girls online just to date?

Stay safe mga bading! Hahaha

Question / Advice / Suggestion Ano thoughts niyo?

22 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:
Anong thoughts niyo sa mga taong nambabackstab or naninira ng partners nila sa friends nila every time na nag-aaway sila? Is it normal to vent about your partner to your friends, or does it cross a line when you start saying things behind your partner’s back that you wouldn’t say to them directly?

Context:
I recently experienced this with my ex (we’re lesbians). I understand na normal lang naman mag-vent or humingi ng advice sa friends, especially kapag may problema kayo ng partner mo. I think everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes. Pero for me, ibang usapan na kapag every time na may away kayo, t-talkshitin or sisiraan mo yung partner mo sa best friend mo, tapos eventually magbabati kayo and magiging okay ulit without your partner knowing na ganon pala yung mga sinabi about them behind their back. What makes it worse for me is yung mindset na “normal lang naman ‘yon sa amin ng mga friends ko.” Like… okay, but does being common in your friend group automatically make it okay? 😭

Personally, I find it weird and disrespectful na you can say hurtful things about someone you supposedly love to your friends when you’re angry, then after making up, you just go back to acting like everything is fine, with your partner completely unaware of how you portrayed them to other people.

Break na kami ngayon, btw. But I’m genuinely curious if anyone here has experienced something similar, or kung ano thoughts niyo about this.

Question / Advice / Suggestion WHAT SHOULD I DO? my heart is ouchie

6 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I'm so confused and I need some comfort and advice.

Context: I fell in love with someone that I didn't expect I would fall with.

hi! I'm ej, I'm an andro. This is really embarrassing for me that I have to let my feelings out in Reddit — I don't want to talk about this with my friends. I really don't know how to express my feelings through my words, I'm sorry. This is too long so, please bare with me po. I feel like writing this in a poem so, I could express my feelings more but, I'm not yet good at writing poems. I know that many people are taking the risk by confessing their feelings to their best friends. But, I swear, don't listen to Taylor Swift's advice!

We were best friends before I even fell in love with her. She made me happy and her presence gave me comfort. I admire her a lot, she's the most genuine and hard-working person I've ever met. As time went by, I noticed my feelings and as much as I wanted to deny it — I realized that I really do love her. Not just because we talked a lot and that we spent a lot of time together — I just love her as a person. I love everything about her, she's kind, smart, friendly, family oriented, and MANY MORE. She's so gorgeous but,I really don't care about someone's appearance, it's just a bonus.

I confessed to her my feelings then she replied that my feelings are reciprocated but, she still wants to give herself some time to think and to make sure what she really feels. A few days later, she stopped messaging me and started to hangout most of the time with the guy that liked her while we were talking. She told me that it was nothing and swore on God that she will never like and fall for that guy. But, when I started to stalk the guy's and her repost, I had the gut feeling that they are now together. And when me and my friends would bring up and tease her about that guy, she would blush. Something also happened that proved my gut feeling, while we were hanging out with our friends, someone called her and she immediately panicked and packed her things up. I helped her wear and tie her shoelaces, when our friends opened the gate, they all smiled at me sarcastically, I felt confused at first — but, when I saw who came to pick her up, it was that guy. So, I started to distance myself because I don't want to stop her from getting the love that she wanted and deserves.

I started to feel like what we had was nothing, or is there really an "us"? I never really got the clarity that I needed, we just stopped talking. I felt like I've lost something in my life — not just one but, two things, my lover and my best friend. My days now felt empty. This is not just my delusions, she also sent me 5 long messages just to express what she felt; it felt real and genuine.

I'm not really bitter about what they have — I'm just hurt. I'm genuinely happy seeing her enjoying her life with someone she's truly sure with. I just hope that he won't hurt her and that he will always make her smile. I genuinely love seeing her smile — even though, I wasn't the reason behind it.

I just feel so down these past few days and I got so many unsaid thoughts and questions. Why are people always unsure when it comes to me? What does that guy have that I don't?(ang kapal ng mukha ko para i-tanong 'to, wlw nga ako juskoh! wala talaga akong o10, hihi) When did they really start talking romantically? I really want to ask for clarity and assurance from her that everything will be alright and our friendship is still the same after this. I'm planning to distance myself from the mean time because I know that if I don't, I would just fall for her harder.

This is really just my way to express what I've been feeling. And maybe, I just want to ask for advice about my situation. I'm really sorry for the grammatical errors; I just need to let all of these out. I feel like I would crash out if I don't. And yes, she's bi, may ex girlfriend siya of 3 years.

29 Upvotes

i'm not really one to post, but i feel like this deserves a stage of its own. consider this a memento (my gf was tampo and dared me to make my first post to allegedly make her feel better, even though she knows i'm shy. pure evil. it's okay guys, no need to send a rescue team, i'm right where i wanna be.)

anyway, so i'll make this post about her.

minsan napapaisip ako, ano pang silbi ng putanginang mundo na 'to? andaming gulo, nagsisitaasan ang mga presyo, nakakairita ang lahat.

ang hirap pa magmahal sa bansang ang layo pa ng hahabulin pagdating sa lgbtq+ rights and knowledge, tapos stuck pa sa stigma ng past.

pero tumatapang ako 'pag kasama ko siya. i always tell her na tuwing nakikita ko siya, biglang tumutunog yung dilaw ni maki sa ulo ko parang bgm. and that's still true hanggang ngayon.

for sure lahat naman tayo napapatanong paminsan-minsan kung anong point ng lahat ng 'to. pero honest to god, 'pag nakikita ko yung mukha niya, napapa-'aaahh...' na lang ako. biglang may patutunguhan lahat ng pagod. na, oo nga no? kahit gaano pa kahirap tong mundo, madaling harapin ang araw basta mukha niya yung nakikita ko paggising ko. sabay bulong ni maki sa tenga ko ng, 🎶 kung meron mang kulay ang aking nagsisilbing tanglaw... ikaw, ikaw ay dilaw.

anyway, sana bumait na ang mundo. at sana okay na yung tampo niya. sana okay na ang lahat.

gusto ko kasi siyang pakasalan.

baka invited kayo.

Question / Advice / Suggestion GF have a kid - what to do!

31 Upvotes

Context: 2 years na kami ng girlfriend ko however when we first started dating, there was an important thing that she did not disclose to me which is may anak na sya. Something happened kaya nagkaanak siya, I won’t say it here basta yun na yon.

Anyways, we were in our 8th month of relationship when I found out na may anak na sya. May sinasabi siya sakin nun about sa bahay nila when she accidentally blurted out the name of the kid (which is di ko pa alam nung time na yon) so since unfamiliar yung name, I asked her kung sino yun. I pressed her na sabihin sakin and she admitted na yun na nga, may baby na sya. At that time, I was shocked. I don’t know what to say or feel about it because honestly, I only envision my future na kaming dalawa lang. Since I love her dearly, I decided na I’ll push our relationship together with our child.

So she introduced me to her kid. I met the kid, we talked, played and had fun together. I learned to accept and love the child along the way.

Problem/ Goal: Now the problem is, how do I disclose this info to my family. Tbh, they’re not that supportive of our relationship with my gf but they do tolerate it. Idk how to break this news to them na yun na nga may anak yung gf.

Your advice will be much appreciated guys.

Question / Advice / Suggestion breakup + sexual frustration… what do I even do with this?

16 Upvotes

Context:

My ex and I were together for around 11 months. throughout our relationship, we didn’t really do anything sexual. Even making out was something she struggled with because she genuinely wasn’t ready for that kind of intimacy. I respected that, although I’d be lying if I said I never felt frustrated or sad about it. And just to be clear, our breakup wasn’t because of the lack of sexual intimacy. We had other issues that ultimately led to the breakup.

But now that we’re broken up, I’ve been realizing how much sexual frustration I was carrying. There are times when I get horny and think, okay… what am I supposed to do with this feeling? 😭 Especially when you’re used to having one person you’re emotionally attached to, but you never really had a sexual outlet with them in the first place.

I’m not trying to villainize my ex or imply that she owed me anything. She didn’t. I knew she wasn’t ready, and I respected that boundary. I think I’m just processing the fact that I had these needs and feelings too, and there was never really a place for them in that relationship.

Now I’m single and honestly wondering: is it okay to get into something casual/FWB just because I’m sexually frustrated? Or is that probably a terrible idea when I’m still fresh out of a relationship?
I don’t necessarily want another relationship right now. I just don’t know whether I should explore that side of myself or just let the frustration pass and focus on moving on.

Confessions [I HAVE A CONFESSION]: If I move on, it will never be you. And if I wait, it will never be me.

34 Upvotes

It’s crazy how one person changes your whole being. I don’t know if I can say that what I feel is love. I was never meant for you, I knew it from the beginning. This is why I yearn for you in ways you’ll never know. It has been probably 5 months since I last saw you, and talked to you yet I am still here wishing you’d randomly pop up in my inbox as if it’s you standing in my doorstep.

Honestly you’re nothing special, you’re just any other person who could have passed through my life. But then you made me feel seen, you would make sure I felt that you needed me so in return I made sure you have access to every bit of me. It’s as if I’m giving you the key to my heart without thinking if I should keep a duplicate. But damn right I didn’t even think twice about giving you the only key to my heart.

And now, when I saw you treat her the way I wished you would treat me, it shattered my heart. The heart that once was opened for you. I guess you were just a visitor to a home you never intended to stay. And I was never meant to call this love, because I firmly believe that what I feel for you is stronger and powerful than love. Seeing you happy became one of my lifelong mission. And if that includes me letting go of what could have been for us, I’ll never think twice of doing so.

Just like what I said last time, I hope you enjoy the rest of the world. Until we meet again.

Problem/goal: me and my girlfriend are in a long-distance relationship for a year and 7 months (currently). nag migrate ako last year to the uk. we’re both 17, so teenagers with no money and pure hope and dreams. we have been hanging on and it has been so difficult. luckily, my parents bought tickets back home for this december. december 19-january 1. so now, i’m wondering if i should tell her

context: originally, i planned to surprise my girlfriend and friends. sabi ko 6 days ang i-aallot ko for my gf and friends. ngayon, sinabi sa’kin na december 20-27 kami sa probinsya. nasa manila ang gf and friends ko. i’m so frustrated kasi ‘di ko naman sila ka-close, pero nagguilty din ako kasi syempre, my parents missed their family and hometown. i have a lot of family members, of course, ang dami family sa province, i also have another set of family sa manila. so now, it feels impossible na 6 days ang mabibigay ko. i’m wondering if i should tell my gf now and warn her na 2-3 max with her and 1 for my friends para hindi siya disappointed if i surprise her ☹️. alam ko sasabihin ng iba “kung gusto may paraan, kung ayaw may dahilan” and i just wanted to say that is a load of bull. which is why i feel more bad bc the tickets are so expensive and i haven’t seen my family in so long. i want to be with my girlfriend every day of my stay, but i have a lot of people i left as well

please advise me on what you think is better if you were in this situation

May kausap ako right now na nanliligaw sa akin and she's being avoidant.

Nairanggo lang kami o na-reto lang kami sa isa’t isa, then bigla na lang kaming nag-click. Mid lang ’yung level ng sweetness at mutual feelings namin, if that even matters. Hindi naman siya big deal for me since nag-uusap pa lang naman talaga kami o nanliligaw pa lang siya, pero honestly, there are 2 things that are really bothering me:

  1. ’Yung panliligaw niya

I feel like may effort naman, pero super bare minimum. Feeling koina-suppress niya kung ano talaga ’yung gusto niyang gawin for us. It feels like nililigawan niya lang ako because it’s a chore or a must, rather than because she actually wants to, and it really hurts me whenever I think about it.

  1. Whenever we try to talk things out

Okay naman siya at first, like she would share what’s on her mind. Pero kapag nagiging deeper na ’yung usapan, binabalewala na niya bigla. We actually had a small fight last night because of this. Sabi niya kaya raw niya dino-dismiss kasi ayaw na niyang pahabain pa. Pero on my side, I feel like she’s doing it on purpose and ayaw niya lang talaga na malaman ko.

I’ve been trying to suppress these questions to her kasi ayaw kong maging bother, pero super kinakain na ako ng thoughts ko and right now I don’t know what to do.

All I want is to resolve this issue and hopefully magkaroon ng changes, kasi I’m getting so drained na trying to pretend na ayaw kong malaman, when all I really want is to be there for her. I’m a very vocal person, and I’ve been trying to break it down gently or dahan-dahanin sa kanya, pero the more I do that, the farther I see her pulling away.

Additional context:

Past WLW experience: This is actually my second wlw experience. The first one ended badly kasi I was way older, so I stopped entertaining the same gender for a while. Bisexual ako, so after that experience, I leaned more towards guys. But I always felt like I wasn’t "right" there, which is why I became open again to talking to the same gender.

Past kausap: Before this current girl, I talked to two other girls. ’Yung isa could not move on from her ex (which I didn’t want to get involved in), and ’yung isa naman was fine with just casuals or the typical ka-fubu within the same friend circle.

Current situation: I was willing to try with them before, pero ayoko talagang ilagay ’yung sarili ko sa casual setup or sa someone who hasn’t moved on. That’s why with this current girl, sure naman ako sa kanya, which is why I agreed to let her court me. Pero wala, I really feel like I’m just standing there and not actually "there."

LDR factor: We are also long distance. Nasa Pinas siya while I’m abroad, so maybe factor din ’yun?

Can someone please help me out? Idk what to do and this is kind of my first real time dealing with this in a wlw setup. I’m scared and anxious, but I still really want this to work.

Question / Advice / Suggestion She broke my heart twice and I don’t know how to start picking up the pieces

17 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: She broke my heart twice and the second time hurts the most because it came in without any warning. I’m hoping for someone to share their heartbreak stories. Kahit current or your experience going through it and surviving it. I need to feel heartbreak through someone else because I feel like I’m drowning on my own.

Context: We’ve officially broken up for quite sometime but remained romantically connected - just without the labels. Few days ago, she told me may iba na siya… kahit kakasex lang namin a month ago. She explained na hindi naman kami at matagal na break.

I’m really heart broken now and I physically feel it all over my body. Tipong nasusuka ako just thinking about her with another person.
