Firstly please let me apologise for the length of this post. Sorry x.. I'm feeling really confused regarding a guy I'd been seeing.. We went on a date over several years ago and got on really well but we never went on a second date but friended one another on Facebook although never stayed in touch.. Fast forward to July this year and I received a message via Facebook from him sa...

On Monday, I'm going out with a girl I really like. We went out last year on a date, but nothing came of it because I was so smitten with her that I scared her off. Lesson learned. She has agreed to give me another chance. Any advice would be appreciated. And yes, I know I screwed up. What I'm looking for is encouragement....

I met here on FB. After 3 months I came to her to Kenya. We were dating for 3 months, she took me to the city where she raised, to introduce me to her family. Ive met her parents, grandma, siblinngs, cousins, aunts and uncles. We agreed to go to one place (mombasa) by a train and stay there for 5 days... So... We entered to train, I joined her little later, like 1-2 minutes coz Ive had bags. There...

So my aunt is a foster parent for her three grandchildren because their parents were abusive. Two of the kids have autism and one has some behavior challenges because of the trauma. I've been babysitting them for 5 years now, living with them for the past 3 years. My aunt is toxic, she blames either me or the kids for everything, never taking responsibility for her own actions. ...

Hi! I am new to this forum. I join here because I want to reach out my big problem. I didn't tell my problem to my parents because I don't want them to worry and feel stress. I am the breadwinner of our family, I need to support my family and give there needs everyday but I can't because of the big circumstances we've encounter last year until now. I have a lot of debt.:( Yes I...

So my sister L (27) had a son J when she was 20. At the time, L was homeless, couch and man surfing, with abusive, ex criminals. When she found out she was pregnant, I was only 16, and she asked my parents M71 and A69 to take J until she was able to be a mother. At the time, it truly was the best case scenario, and I helped my parents raise him until I moved out myself. (J is living in the exact s...

I've been with my partner for a year (F47 M50) I spend on average 3 nights a week at his. I'm spoilt rotten when I go there. When we're apart he messages and calls. Is constantly telling me he loves me, that I'm amazing, beautiful, sexy and clever, and that he's lucky to be with me. Sounds brilliant doesn't it? This is my problem. In the year we've been to...

When my friend from college met his wife, he became less available. I adapted, though it was difficult. I met a group of people from another town and got to know them well enough to stay over at theirs on nights out. I made individualised photo calendars for them over lockdown Christmas, they buy me birthday and Christmas presents and I buy them birthday and Christmas presents. Their Whatsapp grou...

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...

Hi! My fiance and i broke up... Here comes the problem: We are have been engaged for a year and before that dated too and even before dating we are have been friends for 3 years. He always wanted to have kids and to build a family, so we are talked about having kids together, building our own little family. He is even bought baby shoes too. We are went abroad for a two week long work trip. S...

I've been married to my wife for 4 yours now. Things have always been near perfect before we got married, we never fought about anything, it was never necessary. After about 2 years we got married and things were still good. The problem started when we had our 1st child. My wife has asthma and hypertension so it was a high-risk pregnancy, but things went relatively smoothly. We were blesse...

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'm married. Everything I do is wrong. Nothing I do for them is good enough. I have loved them beyond my personal self care or self love they can't see the sacrifices. I am always wrong. They never admit when they are wrong yet tell me they always admit when they are wrong. They say they are always blamed yet they are always blaming me. They go out of there way to make sure I go without ...

I am a single 62-year-old male full-time daddy with 2 girls who are 6 and 8. I am fit and people think I'm in my forties but I can never seem to find a date. It has been years since their mom left she had just turned 30 and was too young for me but I was never expecting children. Since this is an anonymous forum I'm thinking someone will give me their honest opinion. I'm not asking ...

Been an overall bad day. I wanted to BBQ spiedies (pronounced speedy's, it's chunks of marinated chicken on a skewer put on Italian bread with toppings, a dish I grew up with) for dinner. Asked my wife to pick up the stuff and I would make it. She bought some cheap pre-marinated (wrong flavors) chicken on skewers. Wasn't very good. And while this is a minor thing that I can certainl...

Hi everyone, In my school I am somewhat of a loner - I have only one friend ("B") in my school. She has a few more friends, none she is particularly close with, other than another girl ("R"). R and I used to be very close for our first year of school. She was my only friend in first year, but she got very tiring very quickly. She's very high maintenance and I really just...

I am a teacher at a private today due to some mischief done by the this 10th class student I threw the marker pen at him with no intention of hitting him however unfortunately it hit him in middle of his nose.

hi so umm, i want to preface this by saying i don't know much about relationships in general and absolutely nothing about age gap relationships. but essentially what has happened is that i met this guy (im too embarrassed to admit the means through which this occurred) and what started out as me asking for advice turned into staying up until 5am just talking. and he says things that he kn...

My partner is the kindest man I've ever met, however, he shows all signs of having Autism and is on a waiting list. He is extrenely high functioning. He flips almost like he is bipolar from wanting a family and to grow together to not wanting anything at all. He gets upset and loses all feelings for me over the smallest thing as he said it causes him stress and he can't cope. He used to...

I haven’t cheated. I just flirt a lot. I’m trying to stop but should I tell him? I love him so much and I would never want to hurt him. Is telling him what I should do or should I just stop without telling him?...

I've been dating a guy for almost a year. We are senior citizens and both of us have dated before. I am a widow almost 11 years and he's been divorced for 4 years after a 35 year marriage. We live 50 miles apart. Since meeting him, he has been encouraging me to move to his area. He loves his area and has a lot of nice friends (his grown kids live in the area too). While I really ...

So I've been friends with this man for a few years. We worked together, spent most of our time at work together, speak all day and night mostly everyday. The thing is he never invited me to spend time with him outside of work. He likes going out with his friends. He's not dating anyone but he won't offer to ever hang out and when I offer he has an excuse. I mentioned to a mu...

My brother and I were best friends up until he was about 6. He started pulling my hair, and being rude. Now he is starting puberty and thinks he is the shit. Idk if it’s the hormones or what. He thinks he’s so much better than me. He thinks of himself as a bad kid, but then says he’s nicer than me. I told him that he’s been a little shit since he was six and that he ruined my life by being...

In 2020 my best friend got into a serious romantic relationship. I was surprised because I didn't know she was even looking for a partner, especially as we had been talking about moving in together. She knows that I'm not remotely interested in dating and had been planning to prioritize her as the main person in my life once we lived together, so to not even mention that she wanted a boy...

I'm 26 years old female recently married 7 months ago. My problem is that my husband doesn't pay attention to me since we got married and he hardly wants sex. Before we were married, we had a good sex life and he would constantly be behind me for it and I would sometimes turn him down because we weren't married as yet. Ever since we got married I'm usually the initiator and Im ...
