Can you fix him/her?

[minacia]

A broad, open-ended hypothetical question.

At what point is a significant other too far off the deep end that they can't be 'fixed'?

What can or can't be fixed?

What if your significant other is sad or depressed or going through other issues?

What if they are going through substance abuse / addiction?

What if there is nobody else who would bother to try 'fixing' them?

I have never thought "I can fix her" unironically.

 

[Daydreamers]

this is a bit too complex to have a universal answer, but neverthless I'd say as long as you can see hope, and the other person wants to change, it's worth keep trying
otherwise it's not, you'll never be able to make a difference,
and by forcing oneself, one might end up needing someone to fix them too.

I think I remember you saying that you have never liked anyone or had a crush (?)

Out of curiosity, what do you think it would take for you to like someone?

That's the main reason behind my answer.

Probably meeting more women? Traveling to other countries? I am not sure.

You're not "fixing" them. You're trying to turn them into something they're not. This is why no one is ever "fixed".

 

[Rezcore]

There comes a point where you have to step back, to give up. Sure people will talk shit about you, but you can't help someone who is content with their own squalor

Why would I date someone who has an issue so bad they 'need fixing'

 

[ThisAdamGuy]

I can't, but I'm friends with a veterinarian...

 

[TASTYLEADPAINT]

I can fix him

 

[Daitengu]

I can't even fix myself. I don't have the self delusion to think I could fix someone else.

Not even Big-E could.

 

[Indicterra]

I shouldn't, I love her the way she is......but I do want a girl child just like her.

So she can see the shit I was dealing with

Not even Big-E could.

Corty if Big-E wanted he could,

He didn't even tried bruv,

Nah, maybe I thought it subconsciously before, but it's more like "whatever was wrong with her was way hotter."

"Hahaha, Sure! Hope someone can fix my mental illness of loneliness." I said, while smiling and crying.

I'm being sit by a gorilla above me, and saw their butt cr#&k. "Smells awful."

 

[Deleted member 266]

Help, yeah, sure.

"Fix"? To me, that sounds condescending towards this person.

 

[ThrillingHuman]

The only way I could fix someone would be if I got a medical degree or worked in prosthetics for now, so no

"Father please save my war band and I will forever be loyal to you"

When they don't want to be fixed.

Remember consent is important.
