What do you do when one spouse really wants to go on a weekend trip but the other really does not want to go? I don’t want to get into “why don’t you want to go on a trip???” Let’s just assume they both have sound reasoning. In general, how do you resolve that besides one going and one staying home? TIA

It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety?

Deep down inside, I don’t think my bf is over his ex. I casually told him that I feel that way and he got really mad at me and upset. This happened a few times (I know my insecurities are really toxic. I’m trying to work on them).
But now his anger and him trying to validate me is making me think that he really isn’t over her.

My mother worked at night so I'd go to a babysitter at night and then go to school from there. I shared my babysitter's teenaged daughter's bedroom (along with 3 other kids who I don't remember if they were other night babysitter kids or the grandchildren of the babysitter.

Once when I was 12 the babysitter's daughter snuck her boyfriend in and they had s€x - right in front of me. At 12 I was the oldest kid in the room. The others were like 4,6,8 years old. CONTINUED

Father of two princesses. 2 years and 4 months.

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.
