Feeling so down. I have friends but a next to nothing social life, I’m sitting at home on a Friday night doing nothing for maybe the 7th week in a row. All my friends are in relationships so they’re content with staying in and watching movies or playing board games but I hate that but don’t want to go out alone. I work so hard all week hoping to have a fun weekend and blow off steam but I always end up alone

I’m very open I think and try to support him as much as possible to the point his name has been change in school and I try to use the male name as much as I’m capable of.

I have a friend who lives inside my head. Every time I think of doing something important, be it a career move, who I date, where I live, I think: what will he think of that?

We don’t even live in the same country anymore and don’t speak regularly, but we were close throughout high school and college.

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..
