Hi all, so I’ve been with my boyfriend for 7 years now (since we met in college) we’re both 27 yo now. When I look back at our relationship, we had a lot of ups and downs and were able to reinforce our relationship during bad times (long distance, money issues etc). I’m always amazed at how happy we are together although we have evolved a lot these past years. However, no one relationship is perfect. I had to accept his flaws like he had to accept mines. The point of this post is (continued)

Is it possible to be in love with two girls at the same time? Or am I nuts. I have my current gf whom I’ve been with for 3+ years. But in the other hand there is another girl who has seriously caught my attention and I can’t get her out of my head. Idk what to do.

Cousin reminded me that I can say the most righteous, fact or Bible-based message to another, but it’s a sounding gong / meaningless if I made them feel bad (was debating with a younger relative). So much truth to remember in our daily interactions with others. So much weight to practice from 1 Corinthians 13:1-2- If I speak in the tongues of men or angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I

Never gave up on my hubby when we were dating - just divorcing the firm for the health of our relationship 😂

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

8 years together, one married. In our 30’s.

I find my husband physically attractive but am not passionate about him or do not feel “pulled” towards him. Is this normal?

How did you know when you were ready to have a baby? Or were you ready before you had your first? My husband wants to start having kids and has been pushing for it for a couple years now, but I take care of our finances, and I don’t feel at all prepared. Maybe I’m also a little scared to become a mom, so I keep saying finances is my excuse, but I am also a little financially concerned. I don’t feel ready emotionally and him pressing me is making it harder.

There is no romance and feel like I'm stuck in my marriage. Wife has been feeling the same way since a year. There is no respect, love, intimacy between us. She's just sticking it out for our child (under 4)..I feel like I should start looking outside of our paper marriage! 🥹

Has science shaped the way you care for yourself and/or your family?

Dads with older children: while raising your children, did your children prefer their moms over you? I know some will prefer dads over moms, but I assume majority of children out there will prefer their moms over dads… I have one child and it kinda hurts to see my child always preferring the mom over me. I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I just do. How did you cope with such issue raising your children?

I find it hard to keep it together at school. I was in an abusive relationship that finally lead me to emptiness and emotional trying times. I keep things bottled up about school and home.

I know this is a different kind of heartbreak, but I just had to make the difficult decision to go no contact with my parents after years of toxic and narcissistic behavior. It’s a weird feeling of immense sadness but also freedom. Can anyone else relate?

How do you go about building trust with your partner?

I’m in a fairly new relationship (few months) and it’s long distance. Both of us have trust issues, and we are trying to find way to build that trust between us. We want to do it without having to constantly prove ourselves, as we feel that undermines much of the trust.

Any suggestions how you built trust w your partner? I’m aware that much of it comes from within, or personal insecurities, which I’m trying to figure out how to address too

Coke floats are better than root beer floats.

At times I'm jealous of copywriters. At every shop I've been to, ADs are asked to do more jobs like animating & video editing on top of the usual concepting, design, comps, decks, presenting, & idea writeups while it seems the skills stay the same for CWs. It feels worse knowing there are good pro animators/editors/photographers looking for jobs. I'm sure there are CWs being asked to do additional jobs, I don't want to discount their struggles. Just needed to vent.
