I moved back w my parents in May 2020. My apartment lease was up, and didn’t love the idea of living alone in lockdown. Planning on moving back to the city this summer (I’m 28yrs old). It’s been frustrating at times being at home under their rules, and dating / social life is mostly non existent, but I’ve never had this much uninterrupted time with my parents - and know I’ll look back fondly on this time in the future

Me! But this is mostly a result of COVID - I’m now aiming to move out by June/July this year (ideally before I turn 24), assuming the COVID situation improves

If ever? Why would you never move out?! It’s a good idea to at least try living away for a couple of years. It’s hard to date when you live with your parents... but if that doesn’t bother you then it’s a good way to save up.

Yep moved home due to covid in June 2020. I was paying 1000 a month in rent to live in Clapham where everything was shut down - made no sense.
In a way, I’m loving being at home and all the money I’m able to save. Will maybe move back to london, depends how often we’re needed in the office.

How often do you and your SO text/talk during the days you’re not together? My bf has a pretty busy job so we don’t really communicate during the day, but when it gets to be like 8pm and I haven’t heard from him at all it bothers me. Is that wrong? And how would you communicate to them that you want a bit more check-in/form of communication without coming off as needy

I was at a friend’s. Her and her neighbors are all moms and get together for dinner while the kids play. A father showed up to drop off kid while the mom was busy elsewhere, instead of going about his plans he stayed with us. I felt so much sexual tension with him there its so weird. I was attracted to something about him and i know i had his attention. I could barely look him in the eyes when he would make conversation. I wanted to… you know what. SO WEIRD. Hes not even a 10! Im so confused.

A relative is raising a teenage son with her ex-husband. They have joint physical custody. The ex-husband has re-married. When the son is in his care, he often leaves the son at home in California with his (new) wife when he travels for work (which is often). The relative wants her ex-husband to leave their son in her care when he travels out of town but the ex-husband disagrees. The relative wants to know her chances of prevailing if she were to appear in court on this issue. Thoughts? Thanks!

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?
