Cute relationship story - I'm a woman who met my fiance in college but we were both closeted at the time, and it was a small religious school. Fast forward to last year, she ends up getting hired at the same company as me and there are a few other LGBT folks there who are very well respected/have high level jobs/very open about their personal lives. We are in different departments so it wasn't inappropriate for us to get together, and we felt safer. We got engaged yesterday.

My boyfriend has a list of rules to follow as life guidance. I recently disagree with one of them and suggested that it could lead to miscommunication. He claimed that I shouldn’t be insinuating that there’ll be a miscommunication until there’s one (there was one in my opinion but he didn’t realize) and I’m reading things too much. Did I do something wrong here? I didn’t mean to be judgmental but just want to tell him things I observed.

My son wants to study the same as me, he is only 12 years old, but he has an immense love for biology. In spite of how flattered I feel I can't stop thinking how difficult it is to find a stable job in this profession, is it time to talk about it, or do I wait for a little longer?

I found some extremely provocative and inappropriate TikTok’s of my cousin’s kid today (8 years old). I’m genuinely concerned. My first instinct was to call my cousin (whom I’m close with, like a sis) and tell her but after giving it some time, I’m on the fence. About a year ago, I found inappropriate TikTok’s of a close friend’s kid and told my friend as soon as I found out. She sounded appreciative that I let her know but TBH, our relationship hasn’t been the same and we rarely talk anymore.

I’m an attractive 42 year old happily married mother of 4. I’m not drop dead gorgeous but a 8/10. Dads of my kids friends text me to invite my kids to activities and additional sport practices. I’m pretty naive and assume they’re doing it because they like my kids. I don’t want to send the wrong message by accepting. Are they interacting with me because of my kids or because I’m attractive? If I bring my kids to the functions am I sending a message that I’m interested in something else?

How difficult is it to be a single parent? (Soon to be one)

The person I’m seeing has been responding to my texts days later (only a recent development) and it’s making me anxious. They have been busy the past two weeks with PhD exams and their last message was them planning when they could see me again (in a really flirty way too), so logically I know the delay is not a sign of disinterest. But I have an anxious attachment style (if that’s not obvious) and my therapist is on leave right now, so I’m struggling. Do any of you have any advice?
