2nd Cousin has a Mexican boyfriend of 4 months and is 3 months pregnant - did not have conversations with her mother or her sister, close cousins before going forward. She’s feeling the lash back of a mother who’s looking to influence her decision and get an abortion before she starts this life. There are definitely some red flags with the guy with his income and that he doesn’t speak English, curious what others would do - what would your parents say? Mine would flip!

I have a constant fear that my dates are just flirting/saying sweet things without meaning.

Had someone love bomb me a year ago & I have no clue what to believe is true (do they really enjoy me, or are they just saying that?). Can anyone relate or know how to fix this?
