HippieChick58 comments on May 13, 2023:

I've been wearing hearing aids for three years. I would not be able to keep a job without them. My jobs are in customer service, gotta hear and understand what folks are saying. Costco will do free hearing tests, so that is an option to make sure you're getting the right hearing aids for your hearing loss. I had my hearing tested by an audiologist before I went to Costco.

No, you're not over reacting. Lots of men have this mental image of what you are going to be, and don't want you to be anything else. And if they are disrespecting your wishes now, it isn't going to improve. Do you remember your grandmother telling you that you have only one chance to make a first impression? Pay attention to what they are telling you, this is how they will go on. Seriously, I gave up on all online dating when the pandemic started, and I don't know if I will ever go back to it. Also, it is very tale tale that he is concerned about you lying or cheating. He's never ever going to trust you if you do have a relationship with him. He is carrying more baggage then any women should have to deal with.
