Ladies I had a difficult breakup today (actually this breakup dragged on for two months). Hard lesson but love is not enough without commitment. Commitment is an active choice

Sorry to hear, but seems like it's for the best. On & up. I also learned the hard way that love only is not enough

Sorry to hear that . Stay strong. Just love is not enough. I broke up almost twice with the same person coz eventually commitment is something he never budged on. I am very clear that I don't need him in my life anymore.

Sorry to hear that OP. But good for you for understanding that. Haha I learned that the hard way and it wasnt fun

Had the same experience over the weekend. I actually feel so much more free though. I knew in my heart it wasn’t going to last and kept dragging my feet because of the “love” aspect. Sending you hugs 🤗

I’m so sorry. Don’t settle until you find the guy/gal that will go to bat with and for you every time.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

First time sending kid to school. She’s pre-k4 and the school nurse just called and said her nose is running but she has no fever and seems fine. Should I go pick her up? Just not sure what the norm is. TIA.

Have any of you ladies managed to get over an ex after being hung up on them for years? My ex and I broke up two years ago but I still think about him every day. We live in different countries and he’s now married - I’ve tried multiple therapists, changing cities, traveling loads, throwing myself into work, dating, self help books, you name it. While the pain has become much more bearable, it’s never gone away. Will it ever?

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.

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!

Been w/ my bf 5.5 yrs, but I keep wondering when he's going to "get it together". He's been fired from 2 manager jobs in less than a year, one because he was caught doing coke there (off-duty). Now he's bartending under the table. I have huge concerns that he has serious drug/alcohol problems but it also just boils down to, does he want to improve? He's the kindest, sweetest person and we really love each other. But at some point I need my partner in his mid-30s to have a savings account 🤷‍♀️

I’ve been exclusively dating for 6 months. He’s never asked me anything to do with my career other than ‘how was work’. I don’t even think he knows what I do. Last night he made a ‘joke’ about me being a stay at home mom once we have kids. For context we are both Muslim but I was under the assumption that he was modern (we drink alcohol, have sex and so on). Honest opinion is this a red flag?

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
