I've been in an on/off relationship with my partner for 2 years. I love him and can genuinely see me spending the rest of my life with him given some changes be made. We have come a long way, but in my opinion still have a ways to go. The fact that so much has progressed and gotten exponentially better makes me hopeful for the future. However, we still have issues. He has recently been clinic...

I apologize in advance for a long post ahead. I got married to my husband just under two years ago after dating for about 6 years and a two year engagement. Within the two years before we got married, we had gotten a bit lazy in our relationship: drifting apart a bit and communicating less effectively and a lot more little fights (I'm very type A and my husband is not). Of course the love...

I'm currently considering trying to get back in touch with my ex best friend. We were friends from kindergarten all the way up til our sophomore/junior year. I relationship declined almost immediately going into high school. I made a new friend and she wasn't happy about it and started spending alot more time with a mutual friend of ours and even begin to consider her the best friend. I...

I have been married for 10 years. The last 4 years haven't been so great. My husband got addicted to pain pills (but that was more like 5-6 years ago.) And it resulted in him losing his job. So for two years, I stood by his side as the loving, supportive wife just knowing that things would get better again. We, it still hasn't. He hasn't kept a job for more than 6 months sinc...

Hello everybody, I'm relatively new to this forum and would like to begin by thanking you all for taking the time to read this. I don't know any of you, but I also don't know who else to turn to, and I don't now if anyone will listen to me. I'm a fifteen-year-old sophomore going into junior year, but I bring with me a heavy burden as I transition. Befor...

I was in a relationship with a girl and things were wonderful at first, like sex back and forth, most of all effort in treating me with respect and being a wonderful person with me. Like i started to see changes in her way of doing things started to change and like we almost broke up a few times because of her effort and her lack of maturity. Why do i say lack of maturity? because her mother ...

I have to know if I'm being crazy or not! My boyfriend and I have been in a turbulent relationship on and off for 4 years. When I say turbulent, I mean he has broken up with me in some form or another at least 30 times. The last big time (Jan 2015) he moved out of our house and back in with his mom. A few months later, he was back asking to work it out again. We did. He began talking to an ol...

She broke up with me for going to a party with my friends instead of hanging out with her even though I was always faithful.

I've been through 10 years of hell. My ex was controlling, manipulative, abusive, and a cheater. Needless to say, I have trust issues. I am in a relationship now (nearly 2 years) with a man who is very different. However, I still have issues. Something happened recently and I honestly don't know if this is normal and I'm over reacting or if this is a red flag. There's a g...

I have a boyfriend, we have been together for 4 years, we have a son together and a few months back we took a break. Normal right? Well he's a big game freak he's always playing black ops. But he has this girl on there which he met by going to support his friend with his new band, and i dont know her obviously but i noticed that every morning when we would wake up he would text someone. ...

Hi, My partner and I have a very up and down relationship. We have been together almost 6 years and have 2 kids aged 3 and 6 months. I have an ongoing issue with him that he is not supportive and appreciative of me. He has depression and anxiety which he refuses to have treatment for. He expects me to always be there for him but on the rare occasion that I need his support he is never there,...

Hi. I recently discovered that my husband of 11 years was having an online (and at least one time physical) affair that lasted at least 18 months. I caught him in lie after lie until there was nothing left to lie about. He has shown remorse, has been transparent, and we are both attempting therapy. Independently and together. We have reached a point where until he does internal discovery abo...

Let me start by saying I've been in a relationship for roughly 6 years. We have 2 young children together and he has a child from a previous relationship (my stepson hasn't seen his mom since he was 2 and he will be 15 this summer. there is no relationship between him and his biological mom but there is a beautiful relationship between the 2 of us). My boyfriend and I recently signed the...

I met and married my husband quickly. I love him completely and everything would be perfect except he doesn't seem to want me sexually. He has had lovers in the past before me, a few I know as we live in small town. And when we met I thought his reluctance to sex was due to illness, he has thyroid problems however am now thinking its me. He turns me on immensely and has no problem res...

Hello all, I have been in a relationship for 4.5 years and plan on getting engaged to this man next week. Throughout the entirety of the relationship, his family has treated me less than appropriately for a long term girlfriend. On top of this, they constantly ask him if he remembers his previous girlfriends and whether or not he misses them. As if I'm not even part of his life. Meanwh...

I've been wanting to leave from where I am from quite some time. I have plenty of great skills and experience to have a nice job but I have no luck getting one. Before my fall into unemployment I have a nice paying Full-time job with benefits. I lost my job near the end of last year and have been having trouble finding one since I was let go.Along with the stress of job loss I have to come up...

My fiancee and I have been having issues. Anytime we get into some argument about something he brings up past events for example a person I had intercourse with before I was with him an he says hurtful things an call me names. Everytime he gets mad he starts digging in my past and it's getting worse he somehow is able to find old messages from yrs ago that I may have texted a friend or mes...

After I graduated from college with a teaching degree, it took me 5 years to finally find a job because I was told their were 100 applicants for every job posting. I have worked at my current school for 3 years and have loved every minute of it. I am truly happy teaching. I found out a few months ago that the school district is closing down my school and I will have to find a new job. I have b...

I don't know what it is but.. When I think of Love I think of My male friends, particularly one who might get creeped out that I'm posting this. I actually cried last night when I realised I hadn't seen him in 6 years. We're in contact every day but I'm scared I'll never see Him again because he's so far away. I think I even choked a bit. I have never felt s...

I've been with my boyfriend for almost three years, we got together in the first month of uni and have had a very intense relationship, having the same group of friends and living together in our first year. Over the last couple years he has been bringing to light the fact our libidos are so mismatched. He would like to have sex at least 3 times a week whereas I only once a week. It is an...

My partner and I have been in a committed, 13 year relationship. We live together in our home. Approx. 2 years ago sex dried up, almost completely. My partner rarely, if ever initiated sex and when I did it was met with excuses. Literally sex was 8 - 10 months apart. I nearly lost my mind. I entertained every rational. I tried speaking about it and my partner had no interest in talking. In...

Hi, So to try and make this a short story, I am married (6 years) and have 2 little boys (3,1). I have been with my wife for 12 years and it has been wonderful. I love this women with all my heart. I have the best family! She is hard working, great mother and is for the most part a great wife! But.... We have absolutely NO sexual relation. It's embarrassing! I don't know why, I ask i...

Hi all, i have been with my partner for about 11 yrs and we have one child - to be honest our relationship has always been a bit of a roller coaster, when its good its amazing and when its bad it virtually destroys me!. My partner is a contradiction in terms as he can be the most romantic and thoughtful person ever (not so much the past 6 mths though) or when he perceives that things are not going...

I have been feeling so down lately. The sad part is that I'm going true all of this alone. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Been in a mentally abuse relationship for like 12 yr. Not sure why I'm in this toxic thing. I was always mentally abuse by everyone in my life. From my family on down. It seems to me that that is all i know. Ia to be hurt by the people that are suppose love me ...

Hi all. I'm 29 years old and suffer from anxiety and have a history of depression. I moved to a new town about 18 months ago and am still finding my way. I don't really trust other females as I've been bitten a few times, however I feel very lonely. I recently made a new female friend and she is great. We have a lot in common. The thing is, I feel strange about the friendship. I...

A year ago I found out that my boyfriend had slept with someone else. It was only the once, so I'm told. I decided to stay with him because I convinced myself that it would never have happened if we weren't long distance; I'm currently at university and we only see each other once every two weeks unless I'm back for the holidays. He's also asked me to move in with him a...

We have been struggling with infertility for 9 years. We have lost 3 babies over the years. Finally we got refered to an IVF clinic. Over the 9 years I have been through so many tests and appointments. Spent money seeing dietions and consults with homeopathic professionals. I've done herbal and medication regiments. I am totally ready for IVF. My doctors and specialists have helped me fr...

I'm with my girlfriend for a little over a year, For the past while we've been having some fights with the last one almost ending our relationship. The last fight was due to my jealousy as I was protesting about her going out socializing with other guys while I'm away for work, one of which she met on the same dating website as we met. I trust her completely but was feeling insec...

I need to vent... Am I off my rocker? Or am I somewhat in the right? [keyword, somewhat… read on]. I should probably seek professional advice, as this particular issue has caused me more stress in my life than getting laid off or moving. It has created this intense rage in me, a person who, normally, is just calm. I don’t hold grudges, I’m not a hater, I get over things and I move on ...

Hi I am a newly single mom of a two year old boy. I was very badly emotionally abused by my ex boyfriend. I tried my hardest to make it work with him so we could all be a family and so that my son would not have to have a broken home. All my efforts failed because I could no longer take being treated poorly and talked down to like I was nothing. I have done everything I could for my son and i ...

Hello. So I've been in this relationship for almost 4 years. It was my first real relationship and its all I've really known. It's been really rocky lately, but this story is from my downer point of view so it is not all negative. I just don't feel wanted anymore. They never want to invite me to hang out with friends, doesn't mention me anytime. And when we are together, w...

I dunno. This is kinda weird to talk about. I'd always thought I was trusting, but... Alright, let me give you some context. There was this girl, sort of a friend, but not particularly, and she was dumped by some guy last week. He wasn't a particularly good guy, and it wasn't a particularly long relationship, but still she was sobbing constantly and hugging everyone in her vant...

I've got a big problem, my parents and relatives are expecting me to graduate this year (college) ,but I can't. I have not finished some requirements.I just can't help it but I'm very disappointed with myself right now. I don't wanna fail their expectations. I don't know how to tell them about my situation. I'm afraid they would get angry and be disappointed. Wha...

So me and my boyfriend have been together for two years. I go to college and he works. I decided to go abroad for 4 months. So my boyfriend has emotional issues. He doesn't know how to express emotions. Instead he holds in anger and discomfort and as a result becomes resentful over time. He gets consumed in anger to the point where he makes no logical sense and blames me for things that a...

The woman I love with all of my tenderness and above everything, light of my life, has been sustaining an affair with another man due to sexual dissatisfaction. I had no idea of what she was doing until Istarted noticing she felt different during sex. It did not feel the way it used to. It felt more loosed and more stretched than usual. We've been married for almost two years. I love this...
