Boyfriend got off the phone when the argument was his fault. Thinking about being the bigger person and calling him to resolve it, but realized I’m the one who always calls back and apologizes first. I want him to but also don’t want this to drag on. Thoughts?

Any white males on here dating Asian females, specifically Chinese? I’m a white male with a Chinese girlfriend and I’m a bit worried about meeting the parents (they are in China; we are in Australia). They’ve said to my girlfriend that they’d prefer her to date Chinese so they are able to communicate with her boyfriend, but other than that it seems ok. Does anyone have experience in this situation? How did it turn out?

How common are prenups in UK among middle-class? I'm thinking of asking my SO for one but I worry it would be viewed by anyone else as a one foot-out-the-door kinda situation. I'm just trying to be safe with little I have, seeing my friends' marriages.

My husband and I are both very ready to start a family. For those who have finished their PhD while pregnant or with a young child, do you have any regrets?

Recently got in a relationship with this girl for a few weeks and we’ve had our differences because we’re two very different people learning about each other / trying to find a middle ground. She broke up with me last night saying she doesn’t have the emotional energy to dedicate to the relationship and is just walking away instead of putting in the work that a relationship requires. She doesn’t seem like she knows what she wants - after the talk, she said she has strong feelings for me and wjll

I can’t live with my spouse anymore and I think the feeling is mutual. We have kids (<10yrs) and I would hate to not be able to see them everyday. I’m afraid of the negative impact on the kids of this separation/divorce. Long term I don’t know what the solution is. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like the biggest failure in the world.

Is a post-PhD gap year to travel and be reminded of what life is like a bad idea?

Is it true that a guy never notices another guy but notices all the girls? My boyfriend and I just had a discussion about how he does not notice any guys in the gym but notices all the girls. When I tried to put forward my argument saying I notice both guys and girls so it should be the same case for him. He said it’s not the same for the guys. Can I get any male opinion on this or even female if they have experienced something similar in their relationship? Thanks!

Been dating for a little over a year, but she hasn’t introduced me to her family yet. I don’t have any plans for thanksgiving this year, and she didn’t invite me to spend the holiday with her family (local). Is it still too early or is it a red flag?

Been seeing someone for a bit over 16 months, she just dropped the “I love you” and I’m not sure if feel the same. Everything is good, no red flags but I have emotional baggage from a prior long term relationship that led to internal emotional roadblocks. We talked it out and I basically agreed that I sabotaged things by not disclosing my emotional baggage earlier. Her feelings grew while mine were stagnant. No idea what to do with misaligned emotional commitment. Any thoughts?

How to handle your emotions in a less sex ( not no sex), and low quality sex marriage?

It's emotionally depressing for me when we don't make out, getting ugly thoughts of breaking up.

Although I also do understand this should not be the ground for destroying the family, but the lack of it creates a vacuum in me.

Would it be weird to send my ex a goodbye letter in the mail? He leaves for a military deployment soon for almost 1 year, and I generally care / miss him.

Has anyone else told their religious parents that they were moving in with an SO before marriage? I did, it didn’t go super well- they disapprove of it (cont)

My husband is an alcoholic and it’s getting worse with the holidays. He’s started every day drinking high alcohol-content IPAs as early as 8am. And he drinks them all day and all night like soda. He did AA when he was younger but is now vehemently against it. He is high-functioning. Has a PhD from MIT and works for a venture capitalist firm. I wondered how he gets through the day, but he started to come home early (mid-afternoon) and immediately open a beer while working. What should I do?

What do people do when you feel really lonely? Just broke up when I thought things were going well, and moved to a new city where I don’t know anyone. Feels lonely and overwhelming. Scoping out therapists too but asking for any stop gap measures I can implement for a month or two.

What are some cool things to do in the city this weekend for someone that lives here but doesn’t get out and explore much?

I need serious advice, please! Am I wasting my time messaging a guy I matched with online that lives on the opposite coast? Background: we message each other at least 1-2 times everyday for the last FIVE months but never over a phone call. He actually doesn't even have my number. We message on IG. He's a full-time student and full time employee so busy guy. But am I wasting my time and emotions with this guy??

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Men of FB, how did you girlfriends / wives sex drive change with age?

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

Been dating my partner for about 5 months and things have moved very quickly; however, we have arguments nearly every over week and always seem to be on verge of breaking up. Is this normal? Is it worth pushing through? When it’s great, it’s great. I just hate feeling like they are going to leave me/break up with me. It’s mainly about how they feel I’m inconsiderate of their time because of a few times I had to change plans, they feel like I’m not on the same page as they are when it (contd)

Started dating a girl- she’s got her shit together and to be honest, could probably do better than me. I thin she’s still dating other people - we have plans for tomorrow and I wanted to decide what we would do. she just told me that she can’t talk because she’s having dinner with a ‘friend’ and her phone is about to die. Don’t want to jump to conclusions but seems like a date

What if you don’t like your SO’s friends?

Been with a girl for few months, really enjoyed moments that we shared together and barely got into any fights. But, somehow somewhat, I don’t see that we share the same vision in our career path. She wants to settle for administration roles while I want work & travel to multiple countries, really hard for her to find those opportunities within her current roles. I like her personality a lot but I feel like really hard to share interesting topics/ my works with her. Any advice please?

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).

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him
