Hi I know this might sound weird but I'm 21 not quite driving yet won't have a car to practice in soon but anyway I just started dating and I want to go on a date with him but I feel like I have to tell my mom but for some reason I'm nervous to but I am grown so, I don't know what to do, I'll also have to tell my brother since he'll have to take me but that's nothing, I'm worried she might think it's too soon, we've been talking for like two weeks and want to see a movie, what do y'all think

Take control of your situation:

Arrange an Uber ride instead of having your brother drive.

You don’t need to tell (or ask permission from) your mother. If f the date goes well, and you’re excited to share, tell her afterwards.

Does your date drive? If he was a gentleman, he should come to your place and pick you up. Or you can "go to work" and he can meet you there.

Please do not get in a car with someone you hardly know OP. When I was in high school, I had a friend who ended up in the hospital because she got in a car with her date whom she also only knew for a couple of weeks. While not convenient, having your brother drive is a safer option

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

I deeply miss my ex. The breakup was initiated by me 5 years ago because I was scared to commit. Since then, I’ve gotten married and have a daughter. I’m so embarrassed to admit it but I think about my ex everyday. I am so sad that I walked away from him. Life is ok now - I’m thankful for my family but my heart hurts. How do I move on?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
