My girlfriend and I haven’t not been seeing eye to eye for a few months now. She is the girl I want to marry. She asked for a break recently and it’s been about a week since we’ve talked. I love her so much and credit so much to my own personal growth thanks to her. She is so important to me and I would be so happy with her and only her forever but low key I am tempted with tinder and random hookups and getting with other girls. I feel like I could have so much fun. What does this mean

Seems like you are more vested in her than she in you. Not good for long term. Is your relationship equitable? If you are pulling more than 60 % of the weight then good chance for you to get out of it.

What about her do you love? And why do you want hookups/sexual gratification from others? I agree with sentiments expressed above, you obviously shouldn’t be marrying her — and this is more about you than it is her at this point. You need to figure out who you are and what you want/need.

Big 4. Of course.

Go on - hook up- you were on a break!

HAHAHH

Been friends with a girl for years (I’m a M). We recently have been getting closer and chatting a lot more. I told her I’m starting to develop feelings for her and that I want us to try dating. She said she’s going through a messy breakup now (wasn’t a clear yes or a no response). Do I continue to get closer to her as friends after that conversation or is it better to give us both space?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
