I've been dreaming of having a baby since pre-teen tears. I never dreamt of price charming, I've dreamt of a child. Back in my pre teen years I imagined I would have given birth in 2020. Closer to the point, I moved this expectation to 2025. I've been counting down years .. I know now that I'm not going to have a baby in 2025. Still no stable life conditions, it will take a few more year. But I really want a baby, and today it's just not leaving me alone. I keep daydreaming about it and googling IVF costs and this baby fever or whatever it is is all over me. .what is it? Is it hormones? What ..read more

So I’m 21 and my boyfriend is 20, but I’m about to graduate college we’ve been together for a year and a half. I sometimes question whether I should stay with him but I’m afraid of giving up something that isn’t that bad in pursuit of something that doesn’t exist. We have a very big maturity difference which is hard to deal with, he also is not great about respecting boundaries but he has been trying to work on it lately. Last night we had an incident where he showed up to my apartment uninvited black out drunk which he has never done before and it was a really big shock to me. We have had ot ..read more

Hey all, my boyfriend has a beard and mustache, nothing long or crazy, he keeps it trimmed and looking good. He also is a very clean person and keeps it well washed. So he trims it just whenever he feels it really needs it and he recently trimmed about 4 days ago, since then my face around my mouth has broken out in tiny pimple like bumps. This has happened before, it's not anything like an infection or anything like that just a skin irritation with redness and small tiny texture bumps. I've told him it's when he trims sometimes but not every time. Idk if maybe he just gets it shorter sometim ..read more

I need advice. I (22M) have been dating my girlfriend (22F) for almost two years now. She is the sweetest person I have ever met and she genuinely feels like a perfect match for me. We have so many interests in common, we have the same sense of humor, we both are caring and take care of each other, we come to understandings 99% of the time and it doesn't take a lot of work or arguing. We are both very understanding of each other. I love her so much. My issue is this. We recently had a bit of an argument on a topic that has been kinda sensitive and has perpetuated through our entire relationsh ..read more

Hey all, So, I cut one of my family members out of my life after they sexually abused me as a child and were violent to other members of the family. When I tried to talk about what happened to me, I wasn't believed. Everyone else in the family has made the choice to forgive this individual for what he did to others, especially since he has not displayed any behavior like that since he was a teenager. Because everyone else has forgiven him, he is always at important family events. Holidays, graduations, etc. The only way to avoid him is to simply not go... and I hate missing out on these big m ..read more

So my (28M) best friend (32F) was in an physically and emotionally abusive relationship before we were friends. She thankfully got away from him and is the road to recovery now. We became really good friends and bonded over the last 8 months or so, well last weekend our underlying feelings for each other came out. We were hanging out in her apartment and we eventually started going at it, making out etc, yes alcohol was involved (she made the first move for what is worth). We did not hook up as I realized what was going on and I left before it went that far. Since that night we haven't talked ..read more

A friend of mine has gotten super into alternative fashion (i wont say the style because it might out me to her) but its a style that known for being very heavy and bold on the make up. It can look very cool when done right, kinda drag queen-ish The problem is, my friend is kinda bad at doing her makeup and it doesnt even look like the style she is trying to do. I dont do my makeup in that style but i do wear make up often and know this is her starting off wearing makeup. It looks really bad and not at all like the alt fashion she likes, it just sorta looks sloppy and when she ask me my opini ..read more

So this post may be a bummer but I really need some advice. I just realized I'm completely alone. My girlfriend of five years just broke up with me yesterday and I'm beyond heartbroken. She was the only person I had and we’ll always be in love. I know I need to be okay with being alone and I am-but I’ve never been completely alone like I am now. I’m okay with being single but I’m struggling with having no friends and no one to talk to. My whole life I’ve been dealing with a myriad of mental health problems and somehow I made a complete 180 and I was doing really really well. I was actually, g ..read more

I might just be sensitive but I feel like the people I surround myself with, befriend me because they feel like they can belittle me or they feel better about themselves when they talk to me degradingly. I have a really aloof, lazy easy-going personality where I come off as slow and dense. My friends tend to say things usually about my academic life/future somewhere along the lines of “This is so easy, why can’t you do this?” or “How are you this dumb omg,” or “This is so simple,” and I understand that it’s how some people joke and that I might just be overreacting. My first language isn’t En ..read more
