Or if you love them, confront them and get them help. If they don’t accept it or don’t want it then it’s time to leave

Take this advice.

Is there a deeper issue that you are aware of? I recommend therapy and counseling for your partner if they are up to it.

I stayed in a relationship for 2 years too long with my then SO who developed a severe drinking problem. At least a six pack at night and a hell of a lot more on weekends. His parents were going through an ugly divorce and he was also extremely stressed with work. I eventually broke up with him, and it was the wake up call he needed because he had gotten comfortable with me babying and helping him. He got into therapy, started working out again, stopped drinking and is doing much better. We’re still friends and I’m happy to see him putting himself first

Since they can’t take any visitors I would love to send them some sort of at home activity kit (wine tasting or anything!) to keep them busy during these lockdown weeks.

Please share any suggestions you have below! No limits in terms of activity or budget. I have about 8-9 weeks that I plans to cover.

Thank you!

In a LT relationship that checks all the boxes, and my SO makes an obvious effort to make sure I feel appreciated. Problem is every time I try to do something special for them, I'm met with unenthusiastic comments or "you didn't have to do that". They don't make much effort to join my family events, and when there was a stressful event in their family they asked me to stay home and watch the pet while they went to visit. I was the only SO not there, and while they made it clear i wasn't at fault

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

My husband quit his very well-paying job in February to become a freelancer. I was fully supportive of this move because he was miserable at his job. He is hustling and trying to find work but it is slow. We are depleting our savings and I am stressed about our financial health and feel like retirement is getting pushed further out. I am struggling not to feel resentful. I don’t want to push him back into a career he hates but also feel like part of being an adult is making hard decisions.
