Our mutual friend that was with them told me that he approached her a few times to ask for question about homework and study and then she invited him to be in their study group and he said yes. Apparently the study group lasted for about a week. ...

Hi! I work with people and have to be service minded. I'm married. I made the mistake in the past when asking my husband for advice on how to deal with flirtatous customers. He has a jealous streak which I feel goes away and it can be long periods of time or short periods. Something triggers it that has nothing to do with me. It makes me sad. To me he is sensitive and he reads all sorts of...

I'd like to call it an attraction I had that didn't work out. Anyways. I'd always had a crush on this guy I'd been friends with since I was...

I don't want to focus in on any one issue, but there are a few different things troubling me as of late. I reckon I used to think I had a pretty good "radar" for sensing out good friendships, and people to consider friends. But some of my longest-lasting friendships have thrown me for a loop lately. I'm starting to think that maybe since I've grown as a person I now v...

I never thought I would be in this position, but here I am, trying to make sense of a silence that feels heavier than any spoken goodbye. Being ghosted is not just someone leaving. It is the slow fading of connection, the confusion that comes with unanswered messages, and the aching realization that someone you cared about chose to disappear without explanation. In my search for clarity, I u...

It’s been over a month since “P,” one of my best friends, crossed my boundary.

I rarely open up, but he and another close friend, “J,” always encouraged me to share instead of keeping it all in. Our friend grou...
