How often do you keep in touch with friends? Weekends/weekdays? Do you find it harder the older you get?

My best friends are in group chats. So we send memes and have group convos most days. Depending on what’s going on we could talk consecutive days or not actually speak for 2 months.

In group chats with childhood friends, it helps us keep in touch. Memes, life birthdays and other life events keep us in touch. Harder the older you get especially since we’re all in different places in our lives. Married, divorced, single never been married, kids, no kids, etc.

Regardless of how busy my life is, I make time to talk with my best friend, at least three times a week. We also make it a plan to do some thing together, at least once a month.

Yes, as you get older, you find it changes. The key is to understand it, and adjust. My besties and I practically lived together, now we see each other whenever we do because life does what it does. But like everyone else said, group chats are cool. We try to do an annual girls trip. We also do an "impromptu" here and there. Which consists of "What are you doing? Let's..." and we randomly meet and hang out at one of our houses or a restaurant. I have found that true friends remain so whether you speak daily or monthly.

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.

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.

My wife and I just had our second child, and we have also been dealing with her cervical cancer diagnosis. It has been a stressful year, to say the least. I want to do something nice for her, but money is tight right now because of the cancer treatment costs, and her being on unpaid leave because of the cancer treatments. What is something low cost I can do that will be a nice “couples thing” so we can de-stress, but also make her feel special?

Can a pro-lifer help me understand why Christianity is so pro life?

I've studied ancient Rome extensively, and the norm for control of family size was this: after a birth, the baby was presented to the head of the household. If the head of the household accepted the baby (no defects, right sex, family had enough money), then the baby was considered part of the family and raised lovingly. If the head of the household denied accepting it, it was left at the city dump to either: starve, be eaten

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

When is the right time to introduce your new bf/gf to your kid(s)?

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.
