I have been dating a 30 year old lady and am a 31 year old male. We started off as friends as we met online on a dating zone and she said she was single then i later found out she had someone. That made me take caution and decided to be friends. After 6 years as friends and after she told me she ended thing with her ex we decided to go out only to find out she was still with the guy. The guy found out she was with me and that’s how they broke up. Many times we chat offer the phone she would tell me one thing and the next something that contradicts her initial statement. So now every-time we ...

We were in the long distance relationship for 3 years, he worked in another country and I was studying in our country. He is from a village next to my town and thats how we met. He is my first boyfriend, the first love. I told him my greatest secrets and trauma from my past (I was almost raped twice in life). And because of this trauma, I always feared male contact, but I believed him. Everything was great, he said he wanted to marry me, have kids with me, never suspected he had someone else. Until after a year or so when I hacked his facebook, I never did it before or wanted to do it, but som...

My fiance has been hiding purchases he makes at the store he works for (I have a store credit card, which he uses). In the last 3 months or so, he's been handling the payments in store. I thought we owed $330 (checked balance in June). I know he's taken money out of the account to make payments ($400 or so). I recently found out that we actually owe $850 and this is after a $200 purchase I asked him to return. I am so upset over this - we have two little kids (I stay home and school them as well), and probably $15K in debt (all under my name - credit cards). The majority of the purcha...

We (me and my girlfriend) live in an apartment that the owner kind of split one apartment in two, where we share the same entrance with the neighbor below and there is a stair in the section of the neighbors to go to our section above them. Our neighbor happens to be my brother which is one of my biggest regrets to have invited him to live below me and my partner. The house is old, made mainly out of wood and stone exterior. So when my brother talks you can hear him, especially since he has a deep voice, you can clearly hear some sort of bass sound when he talks on the phone etc. Previous neig...

My boyfriends and I always get into a fight every time that I hang out with my friends. I and my friends think he is being controlling but, of course, him and his friends think differently. I am trying to figure out if this is a big or little problem and it would be nice to hear from people who know neither of us. I am going to try to explain the notable times where I think he has had problems with being too controlling. This is going to be pretty long because I want to go into detail about each event. I am trying to be objective though all of this is from my perspective. Some context ...

First I admit I entered into a relationship with someone I shouldn't have. He's been separated from his wife for two and half years but at the end of the day still married. After about two months of very flirty friendship, we never crossed "the line", he is ignoring me. There is a specific moment where things really changed. He had a car accident, his wife and kids met him after and brought him food. She didn't stay the night and he was honest about it. Which I totally understand. The next day I checked on him to see how he was feeling.. crickets. I know the answer is to move on but...

It's hard to know where to start with this. Last Monday night my husband of 7 years received a call that a best friend of his, with whom he hadn't talked to in a few months, had commited suicide. My heart broke and after he got off the phone I held him and tried to talk to him. He just seemed stunned, sad. After getting up with him and trying to talk to him for a bit it seemed like he might have just wanted to be alone. So I asked him if he just wanted to be alone for a bit? He said yes, I said okay and walked out of the garage back into our house. I waited for a while then went back to check ...

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 both happy. I came home from school to find my mum inconsolable saying that my dad had left, she was too upset to say why. I didn't hear from my dad for more then 12 hours ( it's was a very sleepl...

My boyfriend and I have been going through a hard patch. he has been having problems with this job and that's fine I'm very supportive I can financially take care of the both of us. I try to keep him motivated to still try even though things aren't great, but recently I have reconnected with an old friend of mine. We haven't met up and I don't plan on doing it, But long story short we have been sexting for a few days now if you don't know what sexting is its (sending naked photos to someone.) We have had sex one time many years ago we were both drinking and we hooked up, not while I was dati...

I've been married for 8 years and have three beautiful children. Both my husband and I have gone through some very big, and positive life changes such as obtaining our professional careers, having another baby, and moving. These changes, though positive, have creating issues and tension in our marriage. (Or at least I think those must be contributing factors, right??). When I fell for my husband he had been so loving, patient, kind, caring, observant, and thoughtful. He was fun and funny and didn't let me get too wrapped up in the little things. Now, however, he is irritable, angry, contr...

I don't know what to do. I have been married 7 years, together for 8. Everything was good until about 2 weeks after we got married. He turned into a super jealous person and we fought constantly about my past and how he didn't like it.(I would go out with friends when my kids were with their father and he thought that that meant I was acting like a whore.) It's like he became a completely different person. He doesn't work because he has depression and says he can't so I am the bread winner. It wouldn't be so bad but I don't just bring in the money. I do the cooking and cleaning and going to th...

I've been in a relationship for 7 years, we have lived together the last 4 1/2, we are both in our 40's so not kids. I have one adult child from an previous marriage who lives out of state. He has never been married or had kids. Basically a very "nice guy" I care about him but I'm not sure I'm in love with him anymore. We haven't been intimate in over 4 years, its more of a roommate situation in my eyes, with me paying most of everything. He tells me he loves me all the time but I just don't feel it. Money is a huge strain and I just found out by accident he has made some purchases yet ...

Me & my bf have been together almost 10 years. I took him from his ex gf bc i just knew i had to have him. We have two kids together one of which I haven't told him wasn't his, but he thinks she is. I often talk to him about marriage but he always says I'm not married or I'm never getting married. But he brought me a ring and told me ut was just a ring and nothing more. He just recently brought a house near his parents and didnt put me on the mortgage. I dont like it but I tell people we brought it together.People would often tell me he doesn't love me like that but I knew over time we would g...

At the beginning of this year I got into my first serious relationship and I wanted to take things slowly because I was nervous but excited too. I was 17 and I hadn't really even kissed many boys at this stage let alone anything else. I didn't know him very well before we started dating and we met through mutual friends but I felt pretty safe with him since he was about 20 months younger than me. We've broken up now and we're still pretty good friends but he's left me with some things that I don't know how to handle and I don't know who I can talk about them with. He was not a virgin when I...

So for the longest time now I've grown close to my brother in law. He always invites me everywhere he goes with my sister..well did however, until recently he suddenly stopped talking to me. At first I thought he was just having a bad day but this is the second time I see him and he doesn't say hi or bye. I honestly don't know what I did wrong. The only conclusion I could come up with is that I lagged on this trip I got invited to but whatsoever I don't know what to do... I want to start a conversation but I'm too scared for some reason ...

I have posted about my breakup on this site before - basically, I was dating someone for almost two and a half years and he dumped me sort of out of the blue. At this point, I have gone to therapy and I understand why we were so wrong for each other and I'm glad that it happened. I think it would've had to end eventually no matter what happened just because of who we are as people as certain habits we don't share. My problem now is trying to surmount being rejected. Last night, I went to a bar and he was there. I decided to sit with my friends at a booth somewhat out of the way so as not to h...

Recently over the past years my family has developed a tough relationship with my grandad. His health has worsened and it is worrying. His relationship specifically with my grandmother is appalling to see. The medication he is taking has caused his to go into a state where he is not himself anymore, everyone knows that this isn't the real him. To be honest he has always been a bit of a selfish man but never the way he is now. His behaviour towards others is causing the family around him to not care anymore. My family knows he needs help, he needs to eat healthy, he needs to cut down the d...

I have a great friend who is like one of my best friends- who I've known nearly 2 years now, we always go out to visit places (about once a week) have been away together places a few times- got on great, but every now and again he gets difficult to deal with. He throws little tantrums, the latest I got told via text that he told me not to text him at work, and now I'm blocked until he's ready..... all I asked him was "how are you" ? !! When he would have been on a break- he used to text at work a little bit - but didn't see the problem . Anyway then about 6 weeks ago his mam's dog had to be...

I got laid of from work recently and I didn't known how to tell my girlfriend. We're saving money to move in 2 weeks so money is tight to say the least. Anyway, its getting close to time to go to work and I do night shifts. She says it's about time to get ready for work and I didn't know how to say it. So I "went to work" and came back in an hour saying I got sent home sick. I know it was wrong but I panicked. Our relationship now feels like it's at a breaking point and I think my gf is ready to leave me. She won't talk to me either. "You lied to me, get out" and called me a deadbeat. I th...

I'm a 37 yo professional female and have been at my current career 5 years. I think I am proficient to pretty good at my job. Based On my performance reviews this would be accurate. I recently left a really bad job situation where I was constantly given a terrible schedule only after I signed on. So I'm now 3 months into a new place. When I signed on I was told I'd work mostly at one location and a couple months at another. This second location is undesirable. Basically it's understaffed. That's the short version. The work is also slightly different than what I enjoy. But I agreed to 2 months...

I am a 22 year old woman who graduated college and am starting my adult life by serving my country for a couple years once I get into prestine shape. I have always had trouble finding a long-term relationship. Friends and family would either say: ...

Lately i realize I've been feeling jealous- or something close to jealousy -of my girlfriend, but not in the usual sense. I love my girlfriend. We've been together for almost 2 years, and i trust her with all my heart. It doesn't bother me when she goes and hangs out with her friends, whether they are male or female. I'm a firm believer that people in a relationship need space and hanging out with others is healthy to both parties. When we started to hook up in the beginning we were just people enjoying each other. We even saw other people while we messed around, but in the end she told me she...

I've been with the man I've always wanted to marry for 10 years, I'm 26, he's my high school sweetheart and we've been through it all together, ups and downs and a one year long distance, his only problem is that he's not funny at all but I was ok with it, he's the sweetest guy who loves me and cares about me and he's ready to do anything for me, we were getting engaged in a month until I met this other man at work who made me laugh like no one else did, I talked to him for two months but now I stopped cuz I know I'm wrong but I can't stop thinking about him, I feel like I love him but I don't...

I have known my wife since high school and have been with four people besides her. in college we broke up because i found out she cheated on me in high school. any guy that showed her attention she would eat it up like candy. i treated her great and showed her how a guy should treat a woman. that was not enough for her as she messed around with various guys and would never admit it. when we broke up in college i had sex with two people and it was not my cup of tea. my future wife and I started dating again but something was off she only wanted me to please her and she would never please ...

I'm a first time home buyer. I became friendly with a neighbor who likes to smoke pot. I don't care too much for it. We started to become regular buddies after work. He'd smoke and I'd have some wine. I thought of us only as friends, but I started to get the impression he had a crush on me so I tried to subtly get more involved in other things, in other words spend less evenings together. He confronted me about this angrily. This was unacceptable to me that he should get angry about it and I also felt he was trying to convince me that I should like him. Discussion became impossible. I clearly...

After 38 year relationship of control, abuse, I do not know how to face life alone. Putting my partner on a pedestal and idolising them unconditionally, not having been able to have friendship or siblings in my life for so long. They are there after nearly forty years with open arms but it's me who finds it hardest. My partner had what they wanted when they wanted, at the expense of me and our children with no conscious. I am aware of all of this now but still miss them terribly and can't at time control my weak emotions. Is anyone out there understanding where I come from?...

Hi All, Seeking advice please. I am seven months pregnant with my first child and my issue is with my mother. She has not spoken to my husband or acknowledged us as a couple since we got married nearly two years ago. She and my hubby used to have a very good relationship, until he proposed to me. To start with my mother was upset hubby didn’t ask permission from her partner and that he went to my father. I still don’t understand what her problem was, I feel she was just slowly starting to stir everything. Then she took control of our wedding, without being asked. She told m...

My partner has had quite a turbulent life which have involved sexual abuse, drug and alcohol abuse and financial issues. His family are not supportive and seem to be involved in fraud, alcoholism and a general disregard for work and healthy living. My partner is clinically depressed, has anxiety issues, high blood pressure, joint replacement operations, can't eat, doesnt sleep well, a bit of alcohol dependency and to be honest it has not been easy to deal with all of these issues. I think it has been beneficial for him to spend time with my family as they have been very supportive. Unfortunat...

Me and my boyfriend of 6 years have taken the plunge and decided to make our upcoming holiday also a wedding and honeymoon. It is very exciting and we are both very happy. The issue I have is that my mom and dad are having relationship problems - this has been on /off for the last 7 years really so it's no surprise but I think this time i'm starting to notice a pattern in my mom's behavior where she a life event/ celebration happens for someone else in the family and she basically decided that she is not happy in her relationship with my father. The first time they 'split' up was when I went o...

Hey, everyone! My name is Vadim. It's my first post here - I feel like I need some advice to get my head together... I'm a bit cautious about how I describe my marriage at this right moment as at different emotional states I might feel completely different. Right now - I am somewhere between confused and hopeful, desperate for things to feel good when they are not really feeling right... I've been married for almost a year - our anniversary is coming soon. We've known each other for 5 years before we got married. I'm soon 29, she is 25. Had our ups and downs as every couple, but w...

Well, im 28 and my girlfriend is 22. We have been in a relationship for almost 2 years and started to live together after 2 months meeting. Everything was great till 2 weeks ago, when we had a horrible fight. I know i haven't been a perfect guy but we always have had a jelousy problem. She doesn't trust me most likely at all. But for her, i even stoped talking to other females long time ago, cus i love her so much and that's not a problem for me. But every time someone contacted me, there was a problem, so i think i was getting distant cus lack of trust. That was wrong of me. Looking back i wa...

My first relationship was everything I could ever ask for and lasted slightly over 2 years. We ended due to mutual issues and realized that at the time it was for the better. We agreed to stay as friends but it was just too hard but I knew she would always hold a part of my heart. I am now in a new relationship which has been going on for 14 months. She is absolutely amazing until we fight we are complete opposites. It is incredibly toxic and unhealthy for both of us and we tell each other we will try harder when we fight yet it remains to stay the same. It has been well over 2 years since t...

I will try and keep this as short as possible, and extremely to the point. I need some piece of mind and I need honest opinions from people because I am new to this city and I do not know if I am literally going insane or if I should be concerned. I have lived at my place now for one year. My building manager is in his lower 30s, I am 25. His mom is the building manager across the street and before he moved she was our bm and told me to date him the first time I met him (jokingly). We saw each other once or twice and we exchanged numbers he then called me one night, after getting him from bein...

For the last 2 years I've been single. I have been living on my own in the same city I've resided in for quite a few years now, trying to make a life for myself rather than just return to my hometown, defeated. It's really had its ups and downs, and has been difficult at times. Much of that time I turned to an online dating website to try to meet women, but didn't have much luck getting responses, and recently shut down my account. I did manage to go on dates with 4 different women from the website, though things didn't go anywhere lasting with any of them. Yesterday I managed to go on ...

I am in love with a boy who is suffering from an unhealthy porn addiction. In the past he was a very sexual guy and saw many girls. This is what he told me after 3 months together. It is affecting our sex life because he can't keep it hard. I like him very much that in the beginning I didn't mind but now it is getting the best of me. I also feel he is sexually texting other girls when I am not around just to provide for his sexual addiction. I am seeing him for 5 months now. I already told him my insecurities about it but he assures me it is fine. Whenever we have sex, it proves the opposite...

I have been married for over 20 years, and I have three children. My husband cheated on me twice. One time was for several months and the other time was for several years...two different women. He says he does not want to divorce, but he makes no changes. He says he is no longer seeing anyone, and maybe he isn't. I have no idea. His actions, though, are the same. He treats me the same and to me seems to put everything else first. Am I imagining all of this...just forcing myself to see the negative? Or, does he truly not love me and just doesn't want to have to pay child support and go throu...

at 55 i fell head over heels in love met him on line and i found him on other dateing sites...

Relationship of 7 years, when we first met she said some quite strange things. Mainly around how great her ex was in bed and that it never got boring but that he treated her like garbage. Sex between us has always been unsatisfying to me, she is never really interested and will make up all kinds of excuses. I have spoken to her about this on multiple occasions over the years. Usually she says something along the lines of "I need to feel loved and cared for" etc. I have lavished her with plenty of love and affection and it makes no difference. She also contradicts herself, she was w...

Hi all, Just had to get this off my chest. It has been on my mind for a week straight now and just need to let it out. So I just went on a trip for my sisters wedding. We got back last week. Our entire family was with us including my Fiance, who I am marrying in a few months. We have been together nearly 8 years and she is my best friend and an amazing women, absolutely amazing. I have never had any doubts about our relationship in any way shape or form until this weird little thing happened to me this past week. Never cheated or anything. Don't get me wrong, our relationship has ...

Hi! I'm nineteen and have been with my boyfriend a few months short of two years. We get along really well and we're good together and I know that he's someone I would be happy with in the future. We've been having big problems the past few months however because of his family. I'll give some background information to explain the situation a bit better so please bear with me. He has an older brother who's twenty-five and a younger brother (16) and younger sister (12). His dad had an accident at work so he can't work anymore and his mam hasn't worked in years. His mam is the boss in the hous...

I recently had a lot of personal issues pop up in my life that I have no control over. I felt extremely helpless and lost. One of which was losing my boyfriend who I've been with for 2 years. After all this went down his best friend became close with me and was helping me work through my issues. One day he came over and I told him I didn't want to make a move because of the fact he is my exes best friend. His response was to make the move himself. I stopped him and told him it wouldn't mean anything but things proceeded anyway. We've now done it a total of three times and all three of them I d...

I'm Having issues the past few years I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm always thinking my husband is checking out other women. It sure if it's all in my head ...

Hello, I'm a seventeen years old female teenager. I'm your shy, quite, patient, hard-working, good at school, pretty boring and average teen. Not the type to scare anybody. From what I know, I've always been really, really stoical. I can endure a pretty huge amount of cristicism and bullying before ever fighting back. Thus, when I do fight back, I throw all the pain, frustration, anger I kept for myself in one shot and I become really nasty, sadistic even. I can say very violent and mean things that I usually don't regret, except when it's towards my parents and only sister. That's why w...

I decided I wanted to start dating again so I tried Bumble. I met a guy and we started talking. A month later we actually decided to meet up. He took me on a nice date and I had a really good time. Two days later we went on another date and it was just as nice. I was leaving for a business trip and was gone for ten days. He talked to me the whole time I was away. I met up with him again and it was different. We went to lunch and out to a movie. He was being more open at talking to other girls still. He said he was joking but honestly I couldn't tell. Then I made a mistake and slept with him. H...

I am a senior citizen. Due to finances we decided to live together. I feel like we have a business arrangement but he can't see it. I buy all the groceries, pay for all yard work, pay house cleaner. When we go on trip, short or long I pay my way. We fly to Mexico I pay my air fare, 1/2 hotel bill. Travel in USA I pay for hotel and food on trip. He pays for gas and it is rather cheap here. He pays nothing for me. I cook, clean house in between house keeper, do laundry, water all plants out side by hand. He sits as his desk on his computer or on phone texting. Yes I am also his lover. He is very...

Hello everyone, this is something i have been trying to tackle on my own for over 7 years, but it's beginning to break me down and i don't know what i can do. My boyfriend is a pessimist with anger issues. The pessimism is just about bearable even if it is incredibly infuriating at times but the anger issues scare me. He has never laid a finger on me and neither do I think he ever would intentionally, however he can get into such fits of rage sometimes his actions are frightening; shouting, throwing his weigh about, smacking himself in the face, punching walls, breaking things etc. I try to...

My husband and I both feel that when it comes to our families, particularly our parents, that we don't exist. Here's some background on them. My parents have pretty much chosen alcohol over me and that's the way it's been since I was 4, I am now 33. It wasn't a nice environment to grow up in, parents drunk majority of the time they were together, arguing and fighting. No love was shown towards me and I was basically left to my own devices. Once I moved out I felt things were a bit better but nothing has changed. It's still alcohol over everything else. Most of the time I talk to my m...

My problems : 1) i have a problem asking for help and do things on my own and mess it up hugely 2) i fear becoming this unimportant person or becoming the person whom people are going to make fun of 3) i say mean things or behave rudely without even realizing it 4) And i am just way too immature for my age !! i really need help i am becoming insane...

Hello world, I need some advice. This is my first time here, so I apologize in advance if this is incorrect in anyway. I have had my closest friend in my life for 10 years or so. She has crossed me one too many times ( now dating my brother-slept with him 2 days after she moved home from getting divorced) anyways, I am not engaging in the friendship. I don't ask her to hang out, we don't talk, we don't text. I see her around the house (because she's seeing my brother) and I am pleasant. She recently went on a trip and bought me a gift, it was a friendship necklace (btw- we are grown ass adults...

I am the other woman and I have been struggling a lot. I have used the chat to try and talk but people are very judgmental about the cheating woman (as maybe they should be). Daily I have internal battles with myself about our relationship. We have been seeing each other for over a year. We have tried to end it a few times but keep making our way back together. We love each other a lot. We talk everyday text all day long. We see each other as much as we can sometimes even if it's only for ten minutes. He says that he wants a life with me and wants to marry me. He has kids and that makes le...

I was dating someone for almost two and a half years, when he dumped me. He blamed me for not being happy, put down certain parts of my personality, and turned emotionless when he did it. I have not spoken to him since. A lot of my other friends have also recently gone through break ups, and no matter who was breaking up with who, the person always seems to be much more caring. When my ex dumped me it felt like he could not stand to be around me for one more second, and he was not compassionate about it. It felt like he just genuinely did not care about me anymore and that was really hard to s...

hello, thank you for reading this. I am seventeen years old and i finished school and all exams and whatnot six weeks ago. I thought for ages that school was the main cause of my problems but when it ended i realised that it wasnt the case..you see, i feel awful still. The last six weeks have been the worst Ive felt since I was a child and bullied at school and I just dont know what to do. Results day for my exams is looming and I already know what a disappointment ill be. Im going to take a year off from school as I felt I was too young for college life yet, I was going to get stuck in with s...

I have been verbally abused by my father when I was a child. He is schizophrenic and he would see and hear things that don’t exist. He heard that I was insulting him even though I never did and he would say things to me that a 7 year old can’t take or wouldn’t even know. At that time I didn’t realize/know that he was schizophrenic and I used to blame myself for what he said and cry myself to sleep. I didn’t tell my mom because I was afraid and ashamed. This kept on going for some time and a few years later I heard him say the exact same thing to my grandmother and that is when I...

I'm a 28 year old, fairly together women, with a house, car, career and a good social life. However, there is a man who has been in my life for 3.5 years. We were together for 6 months before he moved and it got a little bit sour but he's always been in the background and we have had sporadic contact, he knows about the relationships I've had and knows my deepest secrets, he became a kind of diary for me, and has seen me through some really dark times in my life. In a way he saved me. I've always truly loved him and he knows this. He has a temper though and is always quite willing just to cut...

I broke up with my boyfriend because I wasn't happy in the relationship. Besides, It has always been a long distance relationship. We even met online and he is from a different city. He thinks and feels that, that reason isn't a valid reason to call for a break up. He tells me he can try to make me happy. But that's the thing, I dont want him to "try", it has to come naturally. I dont feel like I want to stay in the relationship at all, but the thing is he's really sweet and he hasnt done any of the genaral bad things that would lead me to break up with him. We've been together for more than a...

ALL NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED: Hi I'm an 18 year old girl who is having troubles with my best friend. Her name is Nicole and we have been friends for 5 years but only gotten close in the last 2-3 years. Nicole has two sides to her. She is a social butterfly in school but outside (I'm so close to her so I know how she is) she is depressing, battles with anxiety and refuses to step out of her front door. I have tried to help her by helping her get specialist help but she always refuses and says it's not my problem. I have learnt to accept this as her personality. Nicole is a difficult person to...

Ok, so firstly this might be a complete over-reaction. And I'll say right away that my husband is a nice guy in this. He's not abusive or controlling, or any of the things you might start to expect when you read the title of this post. And this is a bit long-winded, so bear with me. The other day I was on my way home on the bus. As I go to get off the bus driver goes "here you go" and passes me a folded scrap of paper. I said "Thanks?", was confused, but got off the bus and found he'd given me his number. I know, I know, completely normal and nothing to react about. But it was a ...

Im having a huge issue with anxiety attacks and jealousy in my relationship. mostly trust problems on my end. not that my boyfriend has done anything wrong, hes pretty great and i love him but im pretty fucked up. to give some background hes a big guy about 80IBs over weight and im a compulsive exercising maniac. despite the fact that he tells me Im gorgeous and have an awesome personality, I have crushing anxiety of him talking to other woman. being 24 he has snapchat and even the idea of him looking at porn stars stories or girls we used to know from school who post revealing snaps, makes me...

My boyfriend of three years who I now live with is saying he's not sure he ever wants to get married. I'm 38 and he is 52. Neither of us have ever been married nor have kids. I love him. How can I change his mind about marriage?...

My (ex) partner had made the decision to end our 4 year relationship. Telling me she no longer loves me in the way she did. This was very sudden, with no signs to tell me. We were laughing, joking, said love you each night. Planned nights out. We have a young child together. I have done grovelling and asked questions, no arguements had taken place. I moved out. We had our arguements in the past that all relationships have, some worse than others but we always got through it together. The last big argument we had was all my own doing, she ended things. I fought for her and she took me back...

My boyfriend and I have been going out for 3 nearly 4 years, our relationship has always been pretty good. He lives in a flat, attached to his best friends parents house and I live in a rented house with my daughter. He has it quite easy, as his friends parents don't charge him much rent at all, its small, with one bedroom. My landlord is really not that great or approachable but I don't complain, to be honest as long as everything is working and it's not impacting me or my child, I'm not fussed. I do however, pay a lot of rent because of the area I live in and every year my landlord puts u...

Whilst having dinner I mentioned my friend was in Benidorm and was shocked by the amount of street prostitution. I said I wouldn't want to be with someone who paid for sex and my husband replied,'I don't pay in the short term but do in the long term '. I'm insulted by this as for 28 years I've paid my way, I don't earn anything like he does but I have always done as much as I can financially and I've brought two daughters up whilst he's worked away and spent weekends drinking. I've always done ALL the household chores to make up for not earning as much as him. I've taken what he said as an...

This is a bit long, so here it goes. My fiance and I have been together for 15 years and he proposed to me two years ago. Our relationship was pretty much comfortable and happy. We would go out, have fun, cuddle and have a normal sex life. He is 4 years younger than I am and his first and only girlfriend. I played the field when I was younger, but ever since I was with my bf/fiance, no one has entered my heart or panties. My fiance, his best friend and I used to work with each other. To make things easy, fiance's name is "C", fiance's best friend is "S" and best friends' gf/fiance name is...

TLDR; How to become more human? I'm a heartbreaker and I can't get out of my own ass to love another person or treat them like a human being. I'm too insecure and am not letting myself be strong enough to work in a relationship. I'm losing the love of my life and I regret it. How can I break this cycle? I "can't" stop being a bitch. I broke his heart for the last time, he deserves to be happy, I wanted to make our relationship work but I couldn't get past my own insecurities and selfishness. I don't even know if I truly love him yet I'm still here thinking about us for the past days and not...

Where do I start?.. first, apologies for my spelling mistakes before hand. My problem goes like this; I have been dating my partner for about 6 years now. We are a lesbian couple and it has been stressful for my family to wrap their heads around me being gay since I’ve only dated guys before. I kinda always knew I liked girls but did not act on it. I’m currently in my mid twenties and I came out a few months after meeting my girlfriend since I felt very in love and confident enough to come out to my parents. It was rough times when I came out, my mom took it the hardest and was not allowin...

I'm 21 and my girlfriend is 19, we've been dating for half a year now and I've slowly found out that she usually sleeps with some other men for money. Don't get me wrong we strongly have feeling for each other but she's always running into financial issues because of her drug addiction (greens). I have only just graduated from University and I'm in no position to always help her out when she needs money but I try to whenever I can. I recently told her I know about what she's doing and she assures me she's honestly only doing it because she's struggling financially. I just hate that I'm trying ...

My best guy friend said he liked me for a long time when he was drunk. I have known him for 4 years, and he didn't give me any signs showed that he liked me. I was confused, and I thought he was seeing someone. Turn out that I misunderstood all these years. I told his friend that I was afraid that I could lose him that night. After 2 weeks later, we met. He told me that he was drunk and didn't remember anything he said, and he told me that we could stay as a friend. Of course, I know it was a lie because I asked him three times that night when he drunk.I regretted to tell his friend that day. ...
