Husband had a night away with work during the week. Told me the night before but he knew at least 2 weeks before he had to stay away. He has stayed away for 1 night each year for 12 years to do with work. I believe him when he tells me this. It’s to take his customers out for the evening for a meal and drinks. I knew the night away was coming up and I was wondering when he was going to tell me...

Need help with how to deal with my husband’s communication. We have been married for 26 years. As long as everything stays surface level he is fine. The second it gets deeper he gets defensive even if it’s the first time talking about it. He decides when, how long and if it can be revisited. He tells me”say what you have to say”. If I want to revisit the topic, he will tell me “we’ve a...

Was with a girl for 2 years. I was her first relationship, she was my 4th.First year was perfect, second year we ended the distance. We lived 50-60 minutes away by subway. I lived with my parents and she lived alone. I told her I will visit her every other weekend, weekdays I work 2-8 so no and i want one weekend to be at home. She said seeing each other for 2 days every 10 days is little. Some we...

I know this behavior is not normal, but I cannot talk to my friend about it because it will destroy our friendship. Here is the story: She was widowed in her early 50's several years ago after husband lost his battle with cancer. She has one adult daughter who is married with a toddler and another baby on the way. In the years since her husband passed, she has grown more and more attach...

TW: Sex, Cheating I do believe i deserve some amount of flame for my actions. However, i am tired of running around in circles and pretending I'm okay when I'm not.. i do think that even though I was wrong I should forgive myself and move on but i have not been able to get anywhere near coming to terms with it. I 21F cheated on my boyfriend of 2 years 29M. He ended it (rightfull...

I've (30m) been friends with this girl (25f) for around 10 months now. We met at a cosplay event,kept in touch online and would meet up at conventions whenever they happened. Around October last year she had kinda had a bit of a personal crisis after breaking up with her ex, so I comforted her and I feel like we ended up becoming really close.  At some point during this time I began devel...

Right now everything is a lot and I just need positive words or someone to talk to......

So I want to ask about oral sex. I’m 55, husband is 59. We have sex a couple of times a week but with the oral it’s about twice a month. I cannot orgasm when we have sex so I will use my hand after he as finished to make myself come. He hardly says he wants to give me oral. I suggest it more than him and I think he does not like to do it to me. I get it that not everyone likes it but why...

I'm Aydan, 27 years old. I have been noticing something weird for years now, that I deliberately push to the back of my mind everytime. I have 2 younger siblings, and we're all 2 years apart from each other. I love them of course! However, recently the weird behaviours have been more frequent and it seems like it's been done on purpose. My siblings tend to ignore me on purpose and/o...

Good evening (er - morning), Everybodypeeps! If, whether as a regular or newbie, you find yourself alone and bored tomorrow (er - today) - feel free to dive in here to have a chin-wag, share jokes and life-hacks, anecdotes, interesting facts, music, muses and theories, sat comfortably in your Fluffy-Bunny slippers with a glass of whatever tipple. I'm home alone by (grateful) choice tom...

I learned accidentally a couple months ago that my (F23) boyfriend (M22) has a fart/burp fetish. He doesn’t care for the smell, only the “sound and vibration” from them. He says it started with the live action Scooby Doo film. I feel uncomfortable to fart around him and try to leave the room when I can. Whenever I do fart a “good fart” as he says, he gets aroused and he let...

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...

I met this man 9 years ago. And I've loved him ever since. He was my former boss. Like literally my boss, I was his assistant. I know he has been in relationship since we met for the first time. Time flies and my love for him grows deeper. He didnt care of me at first, but since 1,5 years ago we've gone differently. He told me he's attracted to me. He told me I've changed to be...

We have been married for 3, together 5 years. We're in our 30s. My spouse randomly won tickets to a hockey playoff game on the other side of the state for the middle of the week. He invited a coworker (they couldn't go) as well as a couple guy friends (also couldn't go). He briefly mentioned he is going with Kate (30F), an old college friend who he has seen once last winter and ...

So I met this girl last year and got close to her really quick (we are both freshman right now) tbh I was very openly homophobic (I didn't want people to know I liked girls) and she was bi but I didn't know until this year and I used to vent about my boy problems and all my trauma to her I mean I regret it so much but I think I was just desperate for any type of attention back then T...

My story goes as follows: I met my husband when he came into the office I worked for do to his taxes. It was love at first sight for me. I still remember what he was wearing and what his hair looked like but it was the way he carried himself that immediately sent me head over heels. He walked with so much confidence and power words can’t even describe. At first I thought wow, this guy must be an...

I met my husband 8 years ago online in a Facebook group. I was in the middle if a divorce and so was he. He was in india and me un the usa. We talked as friends and helped each ither through our divorces. We remained friends and became closer and fell in love and after 3 years I decided to travel to India to meet him and see if this could actually become more. He proposed and we started k1 visa p...

Hi! Just joined, introducing myself. As the name implies, I'm an Auto*.*, just coming out these past few months. Reading to learn, lurking to read. Coming out to family has been painful, but the LGBTQIA+ community has been marvelous. ...

hello there, i am definitely new to peoples problems website...

Hello, I'm a newbie here. Realizing I need to vent frustrations, I found this site. Well, I am in a relationship with a short tempered, alcoholic man with some bad addictive type habits. I told him on our 1st conversation, the kind of person I hoped to find... someone with my own lifestyle, choices & hopefully at least some shared interests in common. So, I made it plain, I did not want s...

Hi all, this is a long and convoluted story, thanks for reading if you have the time, though the heading here gets the basic idea across. My question is if you think I should try to do anything here or just let it lie? Chapter 1: College, post-college, establishing relationships I'm a woman in my 30s but the story begins about 10 years ago when I was in college, where I knew two people,...

I suppose most of what I'm asking is in the title, but I'll give you some context. I'm pretty young, I'm just starting university this year straight out of high school. I've never been a massively social person and generally got on well with many people but never really made very strong connections. I moved schools a lot as a kid and there's a pretty big age gap betwe...

So someone i used to work with years ago recently messaged me out of the blue, we communicated for a week and did tentatively talk about meeting up but I started to get weird vibes so backed off a little. Ive recently come out of a relationship and have been enjoying my own company so the thought of this potentially being a date did freak me out so I politely messaged him to explain and let him do...

My girlfriend and I have been together for about 18 months. When we first got together I had to take her to another state where we now both live together. But, at first I had to stay in our original place to get things cleared up so we were apart about 2 months. She had to go down with her family. We talked every day and night. But, after a couple weeks she would disappear for 20 to 30 minutes...

I apologize for flooding the forum with yet another thread of my own. I feel as though I always devolve my own topics into unfocused ramblings. So, maybe it's best if I do just make separate ones to discuss separate things? In this topic, I want to discuss a theme that has haunted me for a few years now: Inevitability. The feeling that, despite one's best efforts, the en...

I just wanted to share that I have reached the conclusion that I was indeed marginalized by my Catholic parents' beliefs - "homosexuality is an abomination", "you increase the chances of you going to Hell if you practice gay sex", etc. I'm still living under my parents' roof, so I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around them because my Dad will explode at an...

My dad is going to turn 62 this year. He was retired from job 2 years ago. Sadly, he is not getting back his backlog money of $24,000 (i am from different country) from his company. The company is in legal trouble and has taken the matter of paying retired employees to the court. Court is not giving any date. My dad's money is hanging for a long time. He is making lots of efforts to find ...

My fiancé (M31) gets weird around my (F27) friend when she’s around. After she leaves there are often conversations or arguments about things she mentioned or said. All related to an ex I no longer associate with. The ex is a guy I dated for about 3 months. For context, this guy sucked pretty bad. He was friends with a guy I dated previously (not smart on my part, I know. But he gave the cl...

So my husband talks loud when just talking normally and he shouts loud when we have had an argument. He does not always do it but when he does I get embarrassed when out with him and I think he needs to get his hearing checked but he doesn’t seem to think there’s a problem. He is 59. And when we have an argument, he shouts so loud. The house we live in is attached to next door so any loud n...
