So my husband cheated on me, with someone we work with. I know I should leave, but I hate the thought of my marriage failing after I was against the whole idea of marriage for so long to begin with. So I'm staying and trying to make it work and we're going to counseling. He said it was just a fling, and theres been no communication for 2 weeks with her. I want him gl officially end it, for 2 reasons. I want her to know its over and I want her to know that I know. He has agreed to this. I dont know what to have him say to her, in front of me, that won't just sound like he's only saying ...

Need some relationship advice. I have been with my man for almost a year. And I love him to death but there are a few things I don't feel right about. Before we got together I slept with someone else. He knows about it and he uses it against me everytime we fight. But since we have been together he has tried getting back with his exam wife. I found out on thanksgiving day. Then in January he found out about what I had done. And he used that to talk to other girls. We finally got passed that. Then I caught him on several dating websites and he claims "he was looking for me". Which I real...

First things first, long distance relationships SUCK. I’ve been together with my gf for a year before she moved away to another country forever. Apparently, she believes that she has a better future there than here. The thing is, our relationship hit rock bottom after she flew away. I’ve tried everything from facetiming her everyday, booking tickets and visiting her, and even sending her gifts for the past two years but we always end up fighting for a small reason. I’ve even asked for advice from my friends who are also in an LDR and even my brother who met his gf through an internat...

My gf is seriously bugging me with her online shopping expenses. Ever since she’s gotten a debit card from her new job, she’s been spending non stop on useless clothes. One example is her buying a winter jacket when she lives in the Philippines which is a TROPICAL country. She also makes up her own reasons on why she buys them in the first place. Her reason for the jacket was so she could wear it when she comes to “visit me and it might be winter.” Seriously guys… I don’t know what to do about this. The first time we met during an Asian dating tour, she didn't strike me as some...

I have this friend who at one point I would have called my best friend. Now? I don't even think of her as a friend, to be honest. We used to be super supportive of each other and would trust each other with everything. She was the first person I would turn to with my problems. Over the past year or so, though, there has been a shift in our relationship. Anytime I say I want to try something to be a better me (such as working out more or going on a diet) she gives me some negative response like "Oh you're too lazy for that." or "You won't survive any sort of diet." She critics me aggressively...

Hey so I have an issue and would like some advice . my friend and her boyfriend are all close , they are moving out of the home we share and switching to a different crew so we will have opposite days off. They basically bailed on the lease we had and with miscommunication we got in a very ugly fight. Her boyfriend .Is always very calm aand rational so took over because my friend becomes very self centered and childish and unreasonable really. On our way home he asked if I'd like to have some beers and chat about everything, I agreed and we drank and he vented about his relationship after we t...

I really wanna surprise my girlfriend. I met her from an asian date tour last year and we have been going steady ever since. It’s a long distance relationship and I’m visiting her this summer since her birthday is coming up. I’m not really the type to surprise anyone. I’ve never really surprised my previous romantic partners but this time, I really want to show my girlfriend how much I love her. I really want things to work out. This is why I would love to set up a surprise for her but sadly, I have no idea how to go about it. I really need suggestions for this. Preferably suggestio...

I lost my husband 6 years ago with whom I had 2 children. My daughter was 19 at the time and she was always driven to goals. After his death, she seemed to stay on target with regard to her goal, to be a lawyer like me. She eventually graduated college (early) and moved and went to law school and graduated last year. However, a few years ago, she suffered a head injury and some doctors thought concussion. She struggled through law school and even took the bar but failed by 2 points! She is still recovering and suffers some dizziness issues. We filed suit against the restaurant where the in...

My friend is supporting a friend who is suicidal. In the past when my friend was suicidal,I was there for them. I would go over,listen to their problems on the phone and reassure them. Yet when i was grieving the loss of my cat and another friend was sick,and now a relatives toe is trying to be saved due to health problems,and my problem with food was depressing me and my anxiety was high again,(i have reccurent relapses with anxiety over food),they told me to snap out of it as far as it goes with the cat and food problem and changed the subject to them and their suicidal friend when i mention...

I’ve been working as a destination wedding photographer for 4 years now and I’ve been around the country for weddings throughout the years. The only complaint I have for this job is the fact that the salary I earn is really small compared to other photography groups. I get paid per wedding so that means that when I travel out of town for about 2-3 days, I only get paid for one day. I don't have to spend for anything though since the client is responsible for the accommodations and everything but the fact is that working for about 12-14 hours per wedding and getting a relatively small amoun...

I would just really like to understand what is going through my ex’s mind at the moment. We’ve broken up and made up several times before. The last time we broke up was our third break up (5 months ago) He is always the one to break up with me, and always the one to come running back. I usually make it very easy for him to come back into my life, but this time I’m playing very “ungettable”. As soon as we broke up, I unfollowed him on Instagram, but he did not unfollow me and he has watched every single one of my Instagram stories for 5 months. There has been no contact for th...

Hi everybody, I have a story when I had a profesional short-course in summer. During the short course, we have several lecturers and they gave us lecture according to their profession. All of them are amazing and mostly sits in high and strategic position. I am very serious in this course because I am looking a way to build my career so I don't expect anything other than learning. However, one day, I got a lecture with a " special" teacher. Do you know why it's special? Because he gives me a special feeling. So, it goes the same as usual, the lecture explains and we listen. Between the tim...

I’m fresh off the boat in this whole “staying friends with ex” thing and I’m still kind of confused on the specifics. Is it a good idea to still share a Netflix account with my ex-girlfriend? We started sharing an account not so long after we got together. I remember us watching her favorite tv series and Disney classics during weekends. One time we watched this movie about some matchmaking tours or something and made quite a laugh about it. After our mutual break up, we agreed that it was very practical for us to share one account with two screens and split the bill equally. She se...

So me and this girl have been talking to some time now, we obviously like each other but whenever I ask her to hangout she comes up with some excuse. Recently I asked her again if she wanted to hangout but she said that her sister hates her for even talking to me so she wouldn’t be able to hangout. I know that her sister used to like me and I kinda avoided her without being a complete dick. Whenever her sister is around she kinda acts a little cold to me, but when we’re alone it’s like she’s obsessed with me. Another thing is that she’s going to another school in two months, ...

My wife and I have been together saying and marriage for almost nine years. Over that time I haven't been the best husband or father too our children. I've been good and meet with my wife because of stress about money and other things. After the both of our second child I basically stopped showing her any romantic attention at all accept for when she was ovulating. She told me multiple times to change my ways or she was going to leave but she always backed off and I never did. Until about a month ago. One night I was told to sleep on the couch and haven't been back in bed since. About two week...

Good afternoon everyone! I am looking for some advice, so all thoughts welcome! I am in my mid-40s and met a lady of a similar age online 3 weeks ago, and we started talking on the phone almost immediately - we got on pretty well, had a good chat. I left it a couple of days before calling again - she didn't answer the call, but I got a text saying she wasn't up for playing games, that she has two kids, works full time, doesn't have a lot of time or money and as long as I understood that we could keep talking. I replied that I liked her and wanted to see where things go, so we carried on ...

I’m planning to surprise my girlfriend abroad with some home cooked meals when I visit her, and I just don’t know how to use one of those electric stoves. When she first invited me to her home after the Asian dating social we attended, I noticed that she uses an electric stove rather than the usual one that uses gas. I was planning on surprising her by cooking her breakfast in the morning but I’m kind of skeptical with my cooking abilities when using an electric one. Need some help!...

I’ve heard stories about how people found their “soulmate” while on some adventure of a lifetime. It makes me wonder if the general thought of dating while on a vacation is actually a good idea. If I’m being honest, I’m actually considering doing that. I could download Tinder or any other dating app and just find someone I can match with wherever I’m visiting. In retrospect, it’s no different from those expensive dating holiday tours. What about you guys? What’s your opinion on this matter? Should I or should I not date someone while on a vacation? Would you? ...

My girlfriend is from Costa Rica and as expected, she’s fucking amazing in dancing. The first time we got to dance during a Latin singles tour, I kept stepping on her feet. LOL. I honestly don't know how I got her. Guess that was a cute factor or something? Anyway, our first anniversary is coming up and I really want to impress her with some moves. I tried learning through youtube, asking friends, and reading online but I still mess up. This is my last resort before I hire a tutor of my own. So, is there anyone out there who can help and teach me how to dance properly? I prefer salsa, slow d...
