Myself and my partner have put up with years of my sister in law doing ridiculous things that have cause us hurt or anger. She recently met a man and they've been going fast in sense of house babies etc. He seemed nice and we all got along fine. However in recent weeks they came to my partner (her brother) and demanded help with something in their personal life. They didn't listen to his...

Let me start by saying I'm in a blessed situation financially and my concerns come from a place of fairness not greed. I hate money for the problems it can cause but I don't know what to do with my feelings over this. I'll try to keep this brief. I chose not to get married nor have any kids. I'm a disabled vet that has money coming in monthly to help balance the times I can�...

Ive been in this marriage with my husband of 3 years. All was good in fact most days are good. But it's been months since our last time being intimate (I blame us for working 24/7) but it's because of this too I'm beginning to become less attracted to him sexually as a husband. He often assures me that he is still attracted to me but the hecticness & tiring life led us both t...

Hello all, I would like some advice on how to go about dealing with and getting my power back as a result of having sex/relations with an older male when I was younger. (Being Taken advantage of) The story goes, when I was 16 I had the typical emotional problems that comes with being a teenager, I realized quickly I loved to drink to mask my problems from lack of affection from my father. I con...

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...

A decade ago my partner & I started writing a novella containing several characters. It was to be something we do together. Was supposed to be our very own entertainment, creation, fun & a secret pastime at home just for us. Over the years it has grown to quite the obsession. We role play into characters! However, the two main characters (Lovers Mirra & Pete with kids never married...

I live with my mother in the family home. My father wasn't there when I was growing up. My siblings are gone away to live and work abroad. One of my siblings has plans to come home on holidays this summer. My mom knew this and she was looking forward to the visit. She was cleaning the spare room for months. It's an older house and there is some damp and some jobs to do on the ho...

So, there is this common friend group that I have. I have met most people from it but due to the pandemic, we mostly meet in online video calls. The number of people on the call varies depending on everyone's schedule. There is this one girl in the group that was my senior and over the past few months, I started talking to her. We started talking about casual stuff like shows, work etc. but o...

I grew up in what we'll refer to as town 'A'. It is a small place, and aside from going to school and joining the workforce here, I had no desire to stick around. Many years ago I moved to town B, and spent a good chunk of my young adulthood there. I gradually made friends there, found areas I liked to go to, and had my longest-lasting job thus far. It wasn't all roses, b...

A friend of mine who I had always loved moved away to a different continent well over a decade ago. She got married had children and the only contact I had with her was through facebook. Her marriage broke down she ended up back in the UK. But she lives a long way away. But she got in touch and we started speaking a lot over a year and a lot of a lot in the final 4 months of lockdown. She was...

Hi, so I know what most are going to say "you don't deserve either" With that being said, I've been casually dating two guys the past few months and I've gotten to the point where I need to pick one or none. I know I can't keep stringing them both along. Let me start off by saying I am a 32 year old female. With that being said guy #1 is 8 years older than me...

My mil is sensitive , caring , lovely Etc , all the reasons why it’s complicated. Without even knowing or noticing why , she somehow creates such anxiety. She’s 2 different people. Perhaps all the above when things go her way. But then she has always said she can be nasty If she’s wronged , and that she’s not forgiving. Examples- i recently had major surgery. On the build up , I’m th...

Hi everyone, Me and my husband met each other in 2015 and fell in love with . Met after a year and got married the next year. We both live in different countries and now we are finally together things are not working out. His parents were giving me hard time and I kept telling him. And now when he saw it himself he didn’t say a word. He didn’t support me at all. He even swore at me in front...

I, F(21) was dating this M(30), but he broke things off with me because he said he thought the age difference would cause problems in the future. We are currently fwb. I spent the night at his place Saturday and he dropped me off at home the following morning. As we were in the car he told me this “funny story” about a girl approaching him and telling him he was exactly the guy she was lo...

I started out in this relationship for the wrong reasons, we were expecting a child. Then when everything in me told me not to stay, I staid, & to make it worse I married her out of guilt and a sense of responsibility. We were married even though I knew I wasn’t happy I couldn’t bring myself to leave that child & to have her grow up in a broken home from the start, or at least that...

Hello! Sorry if this is kind of long... I suffer from pretty bad anxiety, and recently a lot of it has been about me thinking of myself as a terrible person. Especially when I was younger, I feel like I was just really self-centred and only thought about myself. But the main thing that's really been bothering me is how I treated one person in particular when we were around 10-11. Basic...

My boyfriend has changed alot over the last few months - lots of new clothes, different shoes, very good mood all the time. We live apart but see each other on weekends, although in recent months he spends less time with me on those weekends. He sells alot of collectibles etc on Ebay and after viewing something on there he was talking about I checked his feedback as a buyer ( being nosey I s...

I’m curious to know if I have reacted far too sensitively. My colleague, who I work with every day, we have developed a close friendship over the last few years. He recently said he doesn’t message much outside of work anymore because his connection with me is always at work , therefore us messaging is like hearing from work. I thought and apparently meant more than that. He’s always said ...

Some background: this is my first relationship, we met in college, and have been together for five years. I found out early on that she suffers from this condition and it has continually persisted.

My wife has been chatting for about a year I think. She is 55 and although fairly prim and proper in public has a naughtyish side when she gets to know people. Chat rooms appear to have allowed her darker side full reign. I found her half dressed and with one of her toys on the desk with a much younger man on screen who was naked from the waist up. I said nothing and left the room only to hear he...

I am a 51 year old white male and am suffering from a little self-inflicted mind game. I am also currently living with my current girlfriend in a common-law partnership in a country in the EU. I have been here 1 month and need to start working soon and have to stay 5 years to get the EU passport. I also have the opportunity to live and work in BALI. I am so drawn to the different lifestyle ...

I like this person for more than 5 years already. We used to talk but suddenly we just acted like we didn't know each other. We would exchange glances or smile and that's it. For messages, we only message each other during birthdays and yes that's every year. We don't miss any birthdays. I sometimes think he's showing me mixed signals or motives that makes me think he like...
