Husband emotionally checked our of our marriage when I became the bread winner (through a series of events we didn't control). At the same time, I was traveling with someone who was mentally and physically engaging. He made me feel smart and wanted - and he appreciated my strength instead of resenting it. Admittedly, it was the easier path than having the hard conversation I needed to have with my husband. It filled a gap that I wasn't getting at home.

I was in love with 2 guys and secretly hoping guy A would come to his senses and just ask me to be his forever. So naive.

My bf and I have been having the same argument for weeks now so he said he needed space (and I understand why) But he said let’s talk after Christmas… and a month feels long to me. I felt like two weeks is enough time to gather your thoughts. Can others share their experiences? Also it feels unfair for me to have to wait for his text? I don’t know what is best for me too.

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? I’m basing so much of what I do off how he will perceive it. I try to fight and ignore it but it’s agonizing and I don’t know how to let it go. We don’t even live in the same country anymore and don’t speak regularly, but we were close throughout high school and college.

Going through a terrible breakup. Whenever I wake up, either in the morning or from a nap, I immediately uncontrollably cry because of the immediate thought that he is no longer next to me. The worst part is that we’re living together still (not talking or sleeping in the same room). I can’t even imagine what it will be like when we can finally break our lease. Does this feeling ever end?
