How long have you guys been together? Do you have any other reason to not trust him?

IBA1 phone down and silenced notifications is also a sign of respect for privacy. It depends on your relationship and trust you’ve built.

Does he answer your calls? FaceTimes you? Texts you other messages?

I’d give you a hug in return. I understand it’s a very tough spot where you are… overwhelmed with bad thoughts, emotions and helplessness. It’s ok and take some time to digest it but don’t get into a fight. It will deflect the bigger issue.

You’ll command a better overall outcome when your mind is clear and you can focus on what’s important for you, right for you and ask it with conviction.

Say my name. Say my name. If no one is around you. Say baby I love you ( call me your boooooo )

I quit drinking at the first of the year because I was drinking too much as a way to cope with Covid. 99.9% of the time, I’m glad I quit drinking. And then there are those nights when I just want a glass of something to take the edge off, which makes me think alcohol was more of a coping mechanism than I thought and it’s probably a good thing I’m not drinking. I don’t even like wine very much, but I miss that low level buzz that makes everything a little less loud.

I've been dating this girl for 9mo and dtr'ed 5mo ago. She hides me from her family. For ex, we had plans for me to go to her place but something popped up and her brother was there to help. She indirectly told me to not go over until her brother leaves. I brought this up and she said why would I want my brother to know a random person's sleeping over? Same thing for when her parents decide to stop by and I'm at her place, I have to leave immediately. Is it a red flag or is it still too early?

Men, why ghost women on dating apps even though you showed interest? I matched with a guy on Hinge and he asked me out. We were supposed to meet Thursday night, but I forgot that I had something for work, so suggested a different day. Not only did he not respond, but he also changed the pictures on his profile multiple times, making it obvious that he was on the app/saw my messages! He then unmatched me. Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.

I have this old college friend who’s always there for me in bad moments but I’m reconsidering our friendship due to some things that happened. First off, she’s a bit of a pessimistic sarcastic person and judges too fast. I realized our mentalities have changed overtime, because when we discuss we’re often debating which can be exhausting. However, we had the same career goals, and it seems like she wants to move in the city where I live to have better opps and have similar lifestyle as mine

My husband has a tendency of always shutting me down in discussions. I don’t know why, but his ingoing position is that I must be clueless regarding whatever topic we are discussing. It’s very annoying because 1) I find it disrespectful 2) I am smart enough to have the same job as him and 3) it means we can never talk about anything- he always turns it into an argumentative way of disproving whatever I say

SO has sharp pain from the slightest arousal, anything more than holding hands has progressively gone off the table. Any attempts of passing that threshold usually lead to pain that causes stopping, and some frustration from both sides. She tried physical therapy but it didn’t seem to help.

How do we handle this? Going on almost 2 years of this getting slowly and progressively worse, and feels like it’s starting to cause some strain.

Been w/ my bf 5.5 yrs, but I keep wondering when he's going to "get it together". He's been fired from 2 manager jobs in less than a year, one because he was caught doing coke there (off-duty). Now he's bartending under the table. I have huge concerns that he has serious drug/alcohol problems but it also just boils down to, does he want to improve? He's the kindest, sweetest person and we really love each other. But at some point I need my partner in his mid-30s to have a savings account 🤷‍♀️

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.
