I have been with a guy for the past 3 years, and ever since he has always been very laid-back. I didn't mind it since I didn't want a boyfriend who hovered or was hard to get along with. Most of the time he's doing his own thing, gaming, sleeping, working out, etc. and I am drawing or sleeping. We tend to go hours a day without texting eachother, and occassionally can go a day without it. We b...

It's been a few weeks since this awful event happened. I ended up getting so drunk and was seduced into sex by my wife's sister in law, I can barely remember all of the details of the whole night leading up to it but I remember snapping back to my senses seconds into it and putting a stop to it but it was still too late, all hell has broken loose, and I seem to be the only one taking responsibilit...

So this guy I know has been a bit flirtatious with me. For example, when he sits down across from me, he sits quite close so that his feet touch mine and he'll leave them there for a bit. He’s squeezed my shoulder, touched my hand, touched my knee (if I recall), given me hugs (he initiated), complimented me, stood over me close to me, asked about my relationship status, etc. I’ve caught him lo...

I do not even know where to start, the situation is so sad, and I am ashamed of myself, I cannot approach anyone and ask for help, and here to be my last chance to try on this forum. I am a married woman; I work in a kindergarten and have a ten-year-old son and a husband. We do not live in a rich level as many of us; however, I can say that we live in poor conditions, my husband and I have small w...

My husband and I have been married for quite a few years and things lately have gotten a little stale; we both work a lot and there doesn't seem to be a lot of passion left between us. I am looking for something we can do together to get us back to where we used to be. I was thinking of couples counseling but I don't know that it is too serious. We talked about having someone join us but I am hone...

A few months ago I met Sarah (not her real name) and we really hit it off and became good friends. Especially in Corona time it was good to have someone in your bubble to take long walks with, watch a movie, share a meal, etc. She would occasionally even spend the night but then in the guest room. You see I respectfully kept my distance as Sarah was struggling with an unresolved relationship. S...

I really need some advice please. Our neighbours moved in about 4 years ago. We’ve had balls kicked over our back garden fence every now and then from the beginning which, although annoying, wasn’t really a problem. Now the 2 youngest boys are older, they kick harder and higher resulting in many balls coming over each week. Recently they knocked a plant, twice in the same week, destroy...

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 watching tv ...

About 9 years ago a woman punched me. She only punched me once but she knocked me unconscious for 10-15 minutes. It was such a long time ago but I’m still struggling with it. How do I get over it? ...

I don’t know how to start off or even where to start. To state things simply, I believe I have severe depression, but I refuse to tell anyone. I like to believe I’m a good person, but whenever I do something nice for someone, it feels like they attack me or despise me afterwards. Most nights I feel like giving up and not waking in the morning, and I stay up until 3-4 AM. I sit at my desk chair...

Please bear with me, if this thread gets quite long :-) I know that there are many people who are probably worse off than me, and maybe I shouldn´t complain - but right now the sum of all my challenges are just slowly getting a bit too much for me. Let me explain what I mean. For your info, I am 46 years old now: 1) I have a very close connection to my mother. However she is - if not termin...

I want to start with this: I’ve always loved dogs and I’ve never hurt her. She’s a small Pomeranian mix and I hate her personality. She’s needy, dirty, and annoying. We also have a cat that I adore because she’s clean and not as needy. When my bf and I started dating over a year ago, she would pee on doggie pads and shit on the bedroom carpet and he would let her sleep all over...

Hi All. I hate being so cliche and it’s also partially why I didn’t own my feelings about this, as well as legitimately love my mom. Long story short — I’ve had an interesting dynamic with my family where I was loved unconditionally, no intentional harm and also have felt disconnected due to being “the emotional one”. What’s “funny” is both my parents are more like me in that...

Maybe I am worrying about nothing. Maybe I a reading into something that is not there but here goes. I have been in a relationship with D for over 11 years. We have two amazing children together. D is an amazing guy. He has always been very truthful and honest. He has a very big heart and will give you the shirt right off his back. It is one the things that has always attracted me to him is that h...

My daughter is 13 and I’ve been married to my husband since she was three. He has always been there for her as a great stepdad. My daughter’s room is downstairs and even though she is 13 he still goes downstairs every night to sleep next to her after I fall asleep at 3:00am and he comes back up every morning. I know nothing is going on and my daughter is completely comfortable around him, she ...

I have a girlfriend that I have been fooling around with on and off since the age of 15. We finally reconnected 8 years ago and she moved in after a few months. We fall out alot cause I don't trust her and she does funny things. After 7 years we fell out and she moved with her mother. She had already gotten mean and want no sex. Yelling at me , sleeping at the other end of the bed, getting ...

basically I have strict asian dad who has my location on however I was going out with my friends one night and I decided to do the stupidest thing and turn off my location cos I didn’t want him to get worried or check to see where I am.And he immediately got a notification and now he doesn’t trust me anymore and when he came to pick me up he’s so mad that he’s taking my phone for the whole...

Hi everyone, My husband, I and are two small children lives in Scandinavia. He’s not from here, but holds a Canadian citizenship and so does our children (they’re born here in Scandinavia, so they have two citizenships) To make a long story short; husband never liked it here. We have a lot of problems and arguments. He never found himself here. Loved his life in Canada. He’s a self employ...

Hello, I've been married to my husband for 16 years now. I love him so much but my upset is he never does anything special for me like roses,card NOTHING! Our anniversary was yesterday and I even gave hints but nada... I've told him several times that I would like more romance he always says he'll work on it and it never happens. He thinks paying bills shows enough love 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️...

I have just turned 39 I moved back home recently (I am embarrassed about it) In the past when I was looking at places to move into my parents would scaremonger me or try to block it saying: you won’t cope you will lose your job renting is dead money etc. Then when I moved in with a mate it was you can’t trust him etc. Then with my ex it’s you can’t trust her etc. They only want me to l...

Hii I made this account just to ask for help, and I have been wanting to use this more so ig two birds with one stone situation here. So to start with my situation, my ex (17m) and I (17f), had broken up about 6 months ago, after 2 years of being together, and it was one of the roughest things I've ever gone through. I have abandonment issues related to some family stuff and I don't like relatio...

Okay. I am new here but need advice. I've been with my current boyfriend for almost 5 years and we have a child together. It's been a very exhausting 5 years. Constantly fighting. Me leaving and then coming back in hopes it will work (it never does). It's just a matter of time before out next argument and fallout. He hates my family and we spend more time apart then we do together. Ton...

CW: SH, mental illness, potential emotional ab*se Ok I don’t know how long this is gonna be, so if it’s like an eternity I’m sorry. So I (M, 20) met this guy (M, 23) on tinder in about March of 2020. He was in another city and we really hit it off. We were talking about fun things we were gonna do when we met, sex, interests, hobbies, all that fun stuff. Then covid hit and we were stuck i...

I'm separated, having been reduced to a non-working man last year. My partner found herself another man (a work colleague). Recently, I was in town, when I spotted a familiar face. She was in a cafe. My Maths teacher at school (I was 16 then, she was 35), Mrs Gordon. She was alone, so I approached. I told her who I was, and she asked if I was on my own. I accepted the invitation to sit down and ...

I was doing my work and when I looked up I saw the girl i liked looking at me & smiling then she looked down at my collarbone while smiling. then she looked up at my face again and she was still smiling so I looked away. Then later when I was talking to one of my friend & I couldn't really hear him cause I had my headphones on & he said jacob did you hear what I said & i said no. Then I heard her ...

Hello… so i’ve always had very severe anxiety for as long as i can remember and it’s basically ruining my life at this point. I see a therapist and i’m being evaluated for a mood disorder diagnosis (bipolar 2 seems most likely). I said something really stupid that i didn’t mean and seriously regret but my mother is a bit of a narcissist and i don’t think there’s any way i can conv...

this is a very long story, and im going to try my best to condense it. basically, around last winter i was applying to colleges in my home state (va). i got into the same university as my best friend (ill call her X) however, my brother in michigan told my mom and i that he was lonely and wanted us to come up with him- especially since he has children now. at first, i was a little hesitant. a...

After reading posts from other forums about bad neighbors, I realize that my problem isn’t really a big one at all. It has been bothering me though, so I would like to share. My husband and I, both 40, moved from a suburban neighborhood to a rural neighborhood in September of 2020. Before we actually moved in, we had to completely replace the dilapidated fence that was around the yard b...

I got together with my current partner at the back end of 2019 things developed fast and she moved into my home in March of 2020 at the start of the lockdown. We are both approaching 40 and discussed and started trying for a baby, during this time I noticed insecurity problems, she was getting drunk alot while at home and was agreeing a lot. It may seem irresponsible but at this point I reali...

I don’t know what I should do.My life is passing me by and it’s stressing me out.Im a good person easy going but I just don’t know what’s my issue at home.I have nobody to confide in so I came here.Im a 35 yr old male.I’ve been with this woman since 2014 everything was great until she found out she was pregnant and it went down hill from there.she began becoming distant from me but I tho...

So you could describe this as a mental health sort of things as well. But anyway I’ve got something that I’ve never truly been able to deal with for a really long time and I need some help to do so. A little backstory: I am the one who is at fault for causing what I will get into to happen in the first place. Please understand this and know that I understand why thoughts/feelings weren’...

Yesterday i had sex with my best friend and now all i can think about is him we definitely have talked to each other but not on yesterday's sex....

It's been just over a month since I ended our relationship. We were not in touch until he recently reached out to me. We got along really well in our relationship in terms of the things we had in common, goals etc. I still love him and do feel I should have given our relationship a better chance. Bottom line is that if he wanted to get back together I most likely would be willing. Since he...

Hi all Maybe my problem is not really that big a problem in many peoples eyes, but nonetheless it sometimes really bothers me and it would be great with some input. When I was younger and when my grandmother was still alive, there used to be a yearly gathering at her house, around the time of her birthday, where the entire family on my mothers side would be gathered from noon until late even...

My ex and I recently broke up, and he’s just reached out to me after over a month. I’ve been thinking of him quite a bit, wondering if my decision to end things was the right one. Our relationship was perfect in my opinion up until it became clear ( he admitted this ) that he struggles with trust issues due to being cheated on in the past. We talked about that a bit, however, it got to the poi...

For 30 years I bounced around to about 15 different jobs and each one made me more depressed. I eventually realized what I knew all along...I am a square peg surrounded by round holes, and no job is going to allow me to be happy. The entire concept of working is a joke, and we are born into a society that perpetuates this trap. You are forced to choose an activity that you have to do, trading ...

I am in my mid 40’s so is my partner so not a young relationship, anyway we’ve been together a while and about 4 months into our relationship we were chatting as I was due to get my hair coloured, he said to me in a room full of women I will always choose the blonde, this made me feel very uncomfortable as now I feel I can’t change my hair colour. Would this bother you or am I over thi...

Occasionally I have posted issues here and the advice has been excellent. I'm not sure this is actually a problem but it bothers me. A family member was in a romantic relationship for three years. This was a long distance relationship where they barely ever saw each other. They pretty much stopped seeing each other at the beginning of 2020. At some point in early March of 2021 the two had an ac...

My boyfriend and I have recently just started dating. The issue lies in the fact we’re both going to different high schools, and I’m worried he might replace me or eventually just forget me. I’m not as fearful for his loyalty given he has been on the receiving end of a cheater, but what if another girl captivates him in the same way I did? And what if He becomes tired of me? I rarely see ...

hello, i recently found out that my boyfriend of 14 years is messaging a man to meet up for sex. He has sent and recieved pictures that have then been deleted and unsent (facebook messenger). Not once has he ever expressed to me that he is attracted to men and now i feel blind sided. iv been keeping it a secret for a while as i cant talk to any of my friends or family as they all love him a...

Hello there! I never ask anything on forums, but I'm really confused. let me explain (sorry for a long rant). I got out of relationship not all too long ago and then I met this guy at work - and damn, i fell for him. We chatted with my colleagues, somehow talked about relationships - he said his longest one was 2 months and that's it (he's 26). He fucked around a lot, like really a lot, but sai...

For the longest time now I've wanted to sever all ties and leave, family, friends, everyone, and just disappear. Am I crazy? I'm not on particularly bad terms with people but my family haven't exactly done wonders for my mental health, and deep down I just want to vanish and start afresh somewhere new with a clean slate, I live in a small dead end town and I don't want to be stuck here forever. I...

Because people might might think I'm really ugly as possible....

In December 2019, I went to see my doctor as I was experiencing pain the back of neck and shoulders. My doctor advised me she will make a referral for physio. I noticed the monitor was not the right height for me and used a box to adjust the height, thinking this will resolve it as I know the company won’t provide me additional resources. I continued working in the office from January until Marc...

Hi all I (M47) am in a relationship with my girlfriend (F29) for about five months now. We're very much in love (she was the one initiating the relationship btw if that matters) and things are pretty serious between us. However, she sometimes wonders if she enjoyed her 'single' life enough (she's been single for two years since her last serious relationship, but one year feels kind of gone to h...

PLEASE. FOR THOSE WHO WILL ALOW THE TIME TO READ, YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATY AND THANKS. Our relationship started in 2015, 6 years ago, and at the beginning it was super ok, milk and honey, for me, and honestly, I thought it was likewise for her. I’m 53 years old, but I don’t show my age. She, Mira, is 7 years younger than me. Her husband died 3 years earlier. Mira worked for a small priva...
