For context I’m 32 and never had a gf or a relationship before. I was part of a very conservative culture where dating wasn’t allowed, but I e become more independent recently and trying to date now I want to tell you about a situation I had. I feel like I learned from it and hopefully by the time you respond to this I will have had 1 or even multiple dates. So I went to this meetup for �...

My partner of 8 years went to prison almost 8 months ago. I am struggling with loneliness and trying my best to survive financially. I had found a roommate to help but that fell through in spectacular fashion. I really need someone to talk to. The alone is starting to weigh on me....

Stepfather Issue. Three weeks ago completely unprovoked he was name calling and mean spirited. Due to a domestic violence situation I needed somewhere to stay in a hurry. He refused me. I was hurt and distraught. Police got me a Hotel. I'm still in it. Out of the blue he calls me. As though nothing happened between us. Says where are you? I do not tell. Says he ca...

Dear reader, I'm a 16 yo girl who is very probably autistic (runs in the family and my parents recognised it in both me and my brothers, a psychologist specialised in autism recognised it years ago and this year my autistic family doctor and current psychologist recognised it too. Im currently waiting for an appointment with a psychiatrist to get more information.) Anyways, I've la...

so ive been at my job for two years and have been able to make some sort of friendly conversation with everyone except for one person and its so awkward. We both went to high school together and he was a huge douche to me and tried to make fun of me if i remember correctly. Now hes very respectful to me but we dont have anything to say to each other when its just us in the room. a few years ago...

My foreign partner returns home often on his own country. I don't mind him traveling without me as his family doesn't speak English and lives in the country where there's nothing to do. I found out recently his best friend was getting married and I felt a little saddened because I wasn't invited to the happy occasion, his best friend lived in my local town in the UK for a c...

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this! My boyfriend (21) and I (20) have been in a loving relationship for about 3 years. We had many issues but we always worked through them together. Recently, around 3 months ago, his behavior shifted and he started acting really different towards me and because we are in a long distance relationship at the moment, i can‘t really tell if his ...

I used to be very shy but I overcame it and got myself a big social life. It comprised several sets of friends, my college friends from the 1990s to whom I've been Best Man at a wedding of two of them and I'm Godfather to the children of two of the couples. I shall refer to them as the Old group. One day, we met a DJ at my local pub and we used to go to another town to his gigs and th...

Hi, So I've been in a relationship for 3.5 years. Upa and downs of course. Though for a while now I've been feeling trapped/ stressed, so been doing research and I don't think I am respected and maybe with someone with a narcissistic tendencies. I feel I have been love bombed and then screamed at. My needs have not been met for the last few years, loads of little things that ...

Stayed in a caravan five days. Said to my husband I would like to live in one. They are home from home and easy to keep. It’s a dream that’s all I have and if I won the lottery I would buy one. He said, How are you supposed to get one. We haven’t the money to buy one it was just a dream and I told him it was just a dream like if we could move away to live somewhere else I would. It’...

Hi My parents split up just over 2 months ago which came as a total shock to me, I didn't see it come at all, as far as I knew they were fine. There were no obvious signs no arguments, no distance or issues that could of put strain on there relationship and they've always supported each other through everything. the night before they broke up they were snuggled on the sofa together wa...

Went to a family bar mitzvah. The first grandchild of my closest sister which I refer to as sister 2. I was told by my nephew who is giving the event that no cousins are invited when the invites went out since my kids didn't receive an invite. Then I found out when going to the event that my other sister (1), kids and grandkids were all invited. I refer to her sister one. I was invited wi...

I have been alone for years now. But I would really like to share a bond with a lady. However I have so much distain and self-loathing I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be with me. I'll see a lady who I really like and all I can think is that it would be terrible for her and I would ruin her life. I find myself caught in these cycles and despiring. I have tried to destroy these elem...

Ok so im 18 years old and recently my best friend- or my only friend moved away. I stayed at our hometown with my parents even though i wanted to leave but we couldn't afford that. I was initially jealous because of that but i got over it quickly. Anyways, my main concern right now is that i feel like i am missing out on life. I go to uni but i havent really met anyone i like. I have people ...

I had a person in my life who I had known since school, who has always been a bit of an issue. They always seem to test the limits of people, make jokes about them and take things too far. We had lost a few friends due to this. I'm not too sure why I stayed friends as long as i did. I guess because it came in waves, sometimes things were good, sometimes bad. In all truth I should of stop...

I honestly don't know what he wants anymore Basically me and this guy I met on a piano site (long story) and for a while we just kinda chilled until a month ago he said he liked me more then a friend. The problem is he doesn't want a relationship I'm okay with this but he tends to get mad or possessive. For example ontime I went camping for three days and when I messaged ...

His mother is in NYC and is now dying in a care home in NYC after a brief illness at home. She is 94.My husband was used to calling her several times a week. She has been moved to a hospice section, and there's no phone i...

In many respects, I should have enough. I co-own a successful small business, so money is never an issue. I have three kids in college and we are paying their tuitions. But we have sustained so much trauma along the way, for the mental health of a few members, I have come to the conclusion that we need a very large change. Briefly, over the past few years, two of my three kids have been di...

I am struggling to find loving way to talk to my wife about her hygiene. Over the past couple of years (really since our second kid was born about 3 years ago) I've noticed my wife has been neglecting her hygiene. In the beginning of our relationship when we were in high school, we were both very involved in athletics and so would need to shower daily just to keep up, but then once we got...

About 8-9 years ago I met this man online. I was stupid enough to fall for his lies and believed him when he told me he was separated even though they still lived together, he was making plans to leave. That never happened. Unfortunately by then I’d fallen for him and we would see each other now and then, he works full time and lives about 4-5 hours drive away. We hadn’t seen each other for a ...

I wish to become an actor since I'm young and I'm majoring theater at college while studying in a conservatory (theater school). Despite this, I never been in a real project once. I feel old.

Hi everyone. I could really use some advice. So I have started a new relationship with someone. We have been together for almost a month now, so very early days. He's honestly very amazing. He's attentive, kind, makes me feel special, makes time for me, etc. He's pretty perfect and everything that I have been looking for in a partner but there is just one thing that I can't sto...

I'm planning to move out when I turn 18. Now I'm 17, which is only nearly one more year to go. I know I don't have much time, so I literally put all my time in learning the knowledge that's required for the job as well as completing my portfolio. I can go to university, it's not that I don't have a choice. It's just, I hate my family, the way they treated me, ...

He says he is confused about how he feels abou...
