Over a week ago my long distance (ex)bf (US) and I (NL) broke up. I was ready to move to US for him and get married; he’d never want to move to NL. I couldn’t accept that: I needed to know it could still be an option to live in NL in the future, if that became necessary due to my family situation. He ruled it out because pay is lower here, though we’d still be super comfortable financially (top 1-5%). Is money the key driver in such decisions, even in consulting? Did I do right by breaking up?

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

Settle an argument... how often do you run the dishwasher?

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Who's in the wrong

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

I had a 💡 moment yesterday. Stay focused on your goals and be there to support your SO when they ask/need. Don't try to solve all their problems and let them do things their way.

Ladies, at what age did you get married and have kids? I’m not in a great spot in my relationship and I’m afraid of being too old and single with no kids. 26F.

Would anyone want to hang out? 23F and looking for more friends

I'm with a 26 yr old woman who decides what she does (where she travels) based on how her dad feels about it. He's an anxious person who worries about her safety. We live in different states. I'm ready to settle down and make a future. Shes worried about her dad's feelings (for the record, I value family, too). Thoughts?

not alcohol/drugs related but more so to do with p*rn addiction. i have struggled for years with this and I am currently making a lot of progress. I started to make real progress once I started telling people (fiance, counsellor, pastor, etc).

I really don't think it should just be considered a religious thing since it effects the brain a lot and can obviously hurt your relationship. Wanted to see if others also struggle with this and are open to sharing.

Anyone else just go through a break-up? Mine happened just now... i don’t feel anything yet.

How do you find a healthy balance between your job and your personal life?

Anyone look at there SO and think, holy shit I am so lucky?

F here. I’ve had trouble in relationships because idk how to fight healthily. I’ve been going to therapy for it but I’m struggling atm because my boyfriend who I love so much, I’ve brought to his breaking point with my anxiety fueled approach. I don’t blame him. A lot of this stems from watching my parents & their toxic fights. I want to change not only for myself but for him, because I believe he is worth changing for. But has anyone ever gone through this & made it out better?

So my wife and I both said we wanted kids (before we got married) then a couple years into marriage we both said we changed our minds and do not want them. Now, she’s thinking she may want them, she’s changed back. I have NOT, I still firmly think I do not want them. But what do we do now?

How common are prenups in UK among middle-class? I'm thinking of asking my SO for one but I worry it would be viewed by anyone else as a one foot-out-the-door kinda situation. I'm just trying to be safe with little I have, seeing my friends' marriages.

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

Back in 2017 I quit an absolutely awful company that treated me (and all other lower level employees) like trash. We were constantly being reprimanded about not doing our job well enough, but then would also get yelled at for overtime when we tried to do our job well.
Every year since, I’ve written a 1 star review on Glassdoor. Currently their overall score is a 2.3 with a 0% approval of CEO. 15% recommend to a friend. (((Continued in comments)))

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

Any female fish willing to give some advice?

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…

Male friends - how would you react if new gf made a joke or was sarcastic about your skills in the bedroom.

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?

Have you ever been or currently in a relationship with someone of who’s political beliefs conflict with your own?

Not dealing with this currently have dealt with it in the past. My parents started out opposites but now believe similarly. I’m wondering if it is possible in this day and age.

Anyone have a spouse who isn't in their field and feel like it would be more interesting if both of you were in the same line of work?

I don't know if this is a symptom of quarantining but I'm just bored by the day to day banter we share about our kids and family. There's no thought provoking conversation that happens and any initiation from my side just gets dismissed. We enjoyed watching TV together but I haven't had time to do that for the last few months.

Anyone have a spouse/partner who is a picky eater?

I grew up with two french bodybuilders for parents and enjoy super minimally seasoned, whole, unprocessed foods (yes, we were the weird house for not having goldfish as kids), and I live with my handsome man from a beautiful Mexican family who cook with many flavors but also eat out a LOT.

He is okay about my cooking as it is 90% veggies, but some nights he’s blunt that he’s picky, and I whine about going out. Thoughts?

How does one even begin to ask for an open relationship? Currently engaged.

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

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

I can sacrifice an entire weekend cleaning my house so that wife's friend can spend the week. When I ask for a couple hours to help get the house clean so a house cleaner can effectively clean I'm told that's my prerogative and get no help. Well fuck me for being tired of living in a messy house.

For the people in relationships/marriage in which the woman is making significantly more than the man, how have you fared so far? Would like to know your thoughts
