Guy stood me and my friends up (he’s with his friends), then texted us 3 hours later to come to a different bar where he and his friends are, and apologized profusely. Said no. Do I forgive him tomorrow?

M 🐠 here. I work in finance and my job is so technical and intense I'm attracted to women who are airheady and ditsy

Not sure if this is a good thing

Question for the married 🐠- Have you ever gone to couples therapy? If so, how did it work out for you? Did it help and do you now live your life happily ever after?

I’ve seen so many people go to therapy only to end up breaking up shortly afterwards and dropping some serious $$$

30F here and have no BFF type girl friends. Anyone else?

It’s during this time of year that I’m reminded of how the word ‘no’ does not work with my beloved little kin who insist on climbing and trying to eat random inedible objects.

Question for those who are married or about to be : how did you know he/she was the one? And how long did it take you to realize it?
