Just wanted to put it out there that no one is perfect. I'm going on 13 years with my significant other. I'm 25 years old. While our story isn't the typical one, we've had two breaks in between. He's made mistakes and I've chosen to forgive those mistakes, encourage him on bettering himself, for himself. He's grown in to the most kind, respectful, and now responsible gentleman. Love is worth fighting for. I feel like we don't hear this enough.

Best states for adoption if you're in a same-sex marriage?

Hello everyone,
I’m supporting a mom who had a 2 month supply of breast milk in her freezer but the freezer stopped working at some point on Thursday after 5pm. I believe she shouldn’t re-freeze the milk at this point. She said the milk is cool but not frozen anymore. Do you have any suggestions please? Can she re-freeze it?

Boyfriend and I have been dating for ~1.5 years and we still only spend weekends together. I want to move in together at the 2 year mark but bf thinks it’s too soon... just feels our relationship is stagnant and not going anywhere. Any thoughts from ppl who’ve gone through similar situations?

Not a wedding planning questions, but, when did you know you were gonna propose to your now husband/wife? My partner and I love each other, know we are going to marry, we even discussed the party and honey moon, but we are in no rush. We don’t feel like it’s time just yet.
I wonder how the “ok, it’s time to ask” moment went for other couples - just because I love to hear these stories.

I am an unmarried working man in his 30s with a southern mother. In other words I'm flying home for Christmas and my mother just called to tell me that she just happened to accidentally run into the sweetest girl from her church that she just knows I'll get along with and accidentally invited her to our house for dinner the night that I get home. Deadass the woman will not rest until I am tied down. Pray for me!

What are the top questions you get about big law work over Thanksgiving? Mine is never actually about my work and always some variation of "if you work that much how will you ever get married." Flying home this weekend so bring on the wine!

Feeling really lonely today. Grew up in a really tumultuous household and always struggled to maintain friendships (Aka have friends but am always the left one out, I always have to be the one to initiate hangouts, my birthday/grads are always the ones no one else can make it to). Just honestly wondering if I’ll ever be able to have close friends I can count on … To be honest, I sometimes wonder if everyone feels this way or if there is truly something wrong with me/my friendships…

I miss him so much…

New to DC. Anyone have suggestions on how to meet people? I have some friends in the area but hoping to make friends with more similar interests, e.g., enjoy yoga, hiking, etc.

I have never prospected from family or friends. My fear has been if something happens, which is supposed to happen (market pullback), it strains relationships. Anyone have success tho?

Took a trip half way around the world to realize how emotionally unavailable. Others deal with this constructively?

Best Christmas things to do with a two-year-old?

I have a young student with CVI and extremely limited mobility. She is able to vocalize but not speak. However, I’ve seen her response and mannerisms change (positively) in the presence of parents and siblings which leads me to believe that she is cognizant enough to possible use a communication device. However, I don’t even know where to start with researching the best one for her. Any suggestions?

Confession: I love staying home with my husband and dog, and I kinda dread the pandemic ending. I don’t want to be forced to leave my house. I never want to go to the office again. I don’t really miss socializing with colleagues and friends. I absolutely love staying home and dread the day I’m expected to go into the office even a couple of days a week. I think I’ll be very depressed leaving my husband and dog every day after seeing how nice it is to stay home with them.

My kids are asking why I have to work so much. Hard to explain this to an 8 and 5 year old without terrifying them...

What is my buddy?? What kind of help I can expect from him??

I have been single most my life and I HATE that post break up of a quick (~5 month) relationship I am feeling like I NEED a man after being so happy single for so long!! Annoying to regress.

Unrelated - Noticed my personal trainer with a bulge twice during my workout sessions in the last 2 weeks. I am curvy and decently attractive and always dressed properly (no transparent or tight clothes, fully clothed). This may sound like a teenagers question, does he like me or is this just a normal healthy reaction when a M trains F?

It’s been 6 years but still feel lots of jealousy about my ex and his wife. I’m married as well now, and I don’t have feelings for him, but can’t help but want the worst for them or for my life to be better. Anyone else feel like this? What did you do to get over it?

Are there single people in here? WHAT are you doing different to get/meet a partner?

What are your thoughts on the everlasting friends debate - cheating or were they on a break?

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.

I’m a 28 year old male, living with gf. I think I’ve got covid - very feverish, cough, hot and cold sweats, pains etc. When I get sick I turn into a massive baby - definition of “man flu”. Is this a massive problem for women (ie a big turn off)? Luckily I only get sick once every 2-3 years, but this feels awful and I’m being a massive sook and I can’t help it lol…

Bf said on video he made his decision to breakup, and asked to meet on Sunday to talk in person. If he’s already decided, what’s the point of meeting up and break up one more time? (He said we have very different values. He thinks I look for stability, quality time, family, have a place, someone to come home to when he wants to travel and build businesses. He feels like the relationship is not letting him do what he wants to do at max capacity because of resistance he feels from me)

How to overcome the pain of seeing someone you had feelings for get into a new relationship

Met this guy through friends a few years back. He made me feel really special, told me he was going through a bad patch with his gf at that point. Things happened between us in a couple of months and

Can someone please explain why some people bring up past emotional hurts during arguments even if you’ve apologized for them and they haven’t happened again? But they still feel the need to weaponize this moment and throw it in your face. And before anyone asks, no it’s not infidelity… just looking for advice/insight here

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

How do you determine what issues in your relationship deserve working on and staying despite feeling disrespected/frustrated versus ending it? Definitely have a tendency to not give second chances out of fear my kindness is being taken advantage of, but I notice many people work through it and don’t take it so personal.

Men- if you text a girl you “like” but have never asked out on a date that you missed her and she responds “you could ask me out on a date”. How would you respond?

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

How do you get over someone you never dated? I know this person is not right for me but I can’t get it off my head

Do you ever feel like you’re just never going to experience real love or be that ‘special someone’ for somebody? I sometimes feel like I am defective in some way, because despite being in my early 30s, I have never felt particularly special to any guy I have been with- it’s always felt like I am the space filler until they meet the right person

Does anyone have any tips on dating someone with Ulcerative Colitis? I am trying my best to support, but I am wondering if I am able to invest my energy with this long term.
