This may sound trivial, but I’ve always wanted to be in a serious relationship. I think I was looking for maybe 8-9 years. Today I’m engaged and spent thanksgiving with his family via zoom. It still feels surreal.

This is how I feel about being in a relationship in general. I remember being a teen wishing someone would call me every day, and now I do!

Life isn’t a happily ever after once you’ve hit certain milestones- the best will still experience series of low days/months/years, but gratitude is what levels it all- it takes incremental steps to get from one point to another. You will be where you need to be in due time, the important part is to never doubt that it will happen.

Is this saying appreciate what you have now, or that you have no idea what you think you want really means?

It means that we are always striving and looking ahead so we forget to stop and be thankful for how far we have come and how much we have achieved. We can get caught up in looking at what others have or what we haven’t obtained yet, but don’t realize that others want what we have or what we have achieved. It’s a reminder to be thankful and grateful for where we are in our lives.

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this but I (25M) have a feeling a friend(23F) is hitting on me. Whenever we hang out she’ll get really close and keep touching/poking me whenever we need to turn corners, cross the block, etc because she’s the navigator. When we sit next to each other on the bench she’ll be up on my personal space up. Just a lot of shoulder to shoulder touching. I had other female friends this touchy as well but I wouldn’t think anything of it because some people are touchier 1/2

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
