this guy (22M) and i (21FM) had a fling last year. we never made it official, and we ended it after a few months when i found out he was lying to me. it broke my heart, and i turned to my best friend (at the time) for support. being my friend and all, she took my side immediately. she comforted me. she would talk about how much she “hated him”, that i should just move on, that i deserve better, etc. recently, my friend and i haven’t been talking as much. i reach out to her and send her messages, but she doesn’t read and respond to them until a few days to a week later. we’re also friends on i ..read more

i (20F) caught my boyfriend (22M) of 5 years of lying to me. he comments on p0rn videos here on reddit complimenting the women on the video. hid this from me he always clears his search history. when i asked why he simply said he wants it to be clean, but the bigger reason is that he always looks at bikini pictures which is why is algorithm is filled with it. he also looks at his friends' b00bs he hid an interaction with a girl i'm jealous of but it was simply when we told me that he invited her to join his sports team. nothing big but he had to hide it originally for context, we are ..read more

This is wierd but I don’t know how to feel. This morning my bf went on a long rant about how in the beginning he thought I was out of his league, but he realized he’d be out of mine if he liked to be social. I recently encouraged him to get on some anxiety meds and he’s said he wishes he’d done it years ago. He has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth (always trying to be funny at anyone’s expense) but this one hurt. I told him after I got home from work it was bothering me, making me feel like he thinks he could do better, essentially. He was like oh you need to learn to take a joke. The ..read more

So my girlfriend (29F) gets mad at me (33M) for something I legitimately don't recall doing. When I defend myself and convey my perspective of what took place, which in my opinion is mostly nothing or a misunderstanding on some level, my girlfriend will feel frustrated because, from her perspective, I did the thing she says I did. That's why she is pissed. So, me feeling like I got framed isn't important. How do I convey that I really don't feel like I did what she thinks I did without seeming like I'm trying to gaslight her? Should I have a disclaimer before I say anything like, "I'm not try ..read more

My husband 29M cooked too little food leaving me 29F to give my serving to our son and me being left with nothing to eat. It made me super upset because I asked h him during lunch time to get more pieces of fish out to defrost. I’m super confused as to how he’s able to see me not eat after verbalizing I was hungry and be okay to just go on about his day? For context he doesn’t typically cook but he has cooked this same meal just a few days ago. Also there was more food to make and plenty time to defrost before it needed to be cooked. I just feel unheard and unloved? I can’t put myself in his ..read more

Me and my husband have been married for 3 years - he is an amazing man, he prioritizes me, my happiness, my safety, my health above all else and generally does any thing and everything in his power to give me what I want, expect when it comes to stuff around the house. Since we moved in together, he says everything I’ve been doing my entire life has been wrong and I need to start doing it his way - ‘the right way’. When I cook on the stovetop I have to cover the surrounding areas with napkins to prevent any oil splatter on the counter tops I have to use a plate every single time I eat anythi ..read more

I (44F) started a relationship 10 months ago. My current boyfriend (49M) is the person whom I have loved the most in my entire life. When we are together, everything is perfect. But we live 10 hours away by plane. He tells me that he has no plans to ever get married because he fears the many legal and non-legal baggages that come with marriage since I have two children (ages 10 and 15) from my previous marriage. He feels this way because he knows many people who are in bad marriages and suffer a lot as a result of legal binding issues that come with marriage and divorce. He is divorced with n ..read more

these past 3 days have felt extremely unreal. we had known each other since january of this year and only dated for a month and a half, a short time i know, but i have genuinely never felt heartbreak before this. i think he is my first love, if he wasn’t, i wouldn’t be so hurt and affected by what he did. he admitted to it, which i know isn’t an easy thing to do, but that’s still no excuse. i feel really stupid right now because i am still willing to give him a second chance and to help him grow as a person. i know it’s not my responsibility to look after him like he is my kid or something, b ..read more

We have been on 5 dates now, slept together and have gotten pretty close, we arrive at the bar and I ask if she could get the first round while i need to use the rest room. She mentioned on our last date that she likes to pay for her partner sometimes to. I have also paid for everything on the previous dates not once asking her to pay for anything. The date goes horribly from the get go, as she is in a really bad mood from this and I leave as I wasn't putting up with it. At the end of the date she texts me saying "your a joke! You can't even buy your own drink lol" I feel I was owed an apolog ..read more

I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years now. We get along pretty well and have lots in common. I never like to talk about sexual past, and I prefer not to know. We were talking the other day and she told me how there were loads of fuck boys in university and how they she doesn't like those types. She asked me if I was ever into the hookup stuff and I told her that it's not for me, and I have only been physical with four people, who i all had relationships with. She then mentioned that she loved attention from men and would go home with random guys from the club multiple times a week. She s ..read more
