My poor bf and I are both going through the wringer in our respective lives rn (we do not live together, but spend as much time as possible with one another). We both have sick pets, which is eating away at our finances. Both of us are burnt out from our jobs, and both struggle with mental health. Obviously, this has created a lot of stress, fear and other really uncomfortable and disturbing mental and physical spaces for us. Obviously, neither of us can be there for the other 100% right now, and that's ok. But I was wondering in what ways we could try to be good supports while still respecti ..read more

We’ve known each other for over a year but never really dated or made anything exclusive so I slept with someone else when I was unsure if he really liked me which I ultimately regretted and told him immediately. We didn’t really had a long talk about it but when we did he said we were just headed in different directions. He said he didn’t want a relationship with me. Honestly I’m kinda upset even if I don’t have the right to be. He’s done some bad things and said bad stuff to me but I always forgiven him. If he did the same thing I would be upset but still forgive him like I always do. I lik ..read more

This week I had a minor examination at hospital that required me to not eat for 24 hours prior to the test. My appointment was also delayed by 4 hours so by the time it was done and by the time I got home it was over 32-34 hours since I had eaten anything. Because of this I was very hungry and tired so I decided to order some food. I asked my gf if she wanted anything but she said no. My gf said she'd rather cook than order out but I said I'd prefer a takeaway so we can just have separate meals. She said she'd rather we both just cooked but I again refused and told her I'm ordering myself foo ..read more

I recently came across a large inheritance. Its the most money ive had access to in my life. The father of my children suggested I put down approximately 50K on him getting a new truck. Backstory: We were together approximately 16 yrs. I have given him four children. We were together since teenagers, and he was abusive (verbally, physically, and emotionally) in every sense of the word for those for about 13 of those years. Six years into the relationship, he started working with a trucking company alongside with my half brother. He was earning around 9K monthly- had me and the children living ..read more

I've been with my girlfriend for three years and for the most part things in our relationship are great. We have similar interests, we go on regular dates, we like the same type of holidays and we genuinely get excited to spend time together and make plans etc. The only part where things aren't great is our sex life. I have a higher sex drive but it's never really been an issue since we still had sex fairly regularly. For the last few months though we haven't had sex at all since my girlfriend sex drive has pretty much gone. She has no interest in having sex anymore. She has apologised a few ..read more

TLDR: She is going to meet up with the guy she swears nothing happened with. I plan to confront them together. We have been together for 5.5 years. How do I move forward with my life and help my kids heal? I don't know what I am doing here. I guess I am just here to vent and not really looking for advice. I really do not care if you believe the story or not. I just need to get it out. I (41m) caught my fiance (30f) sexting with a guy she dated in high school. I found out the day she went to meet up with him with our son. This was in January. She was in the convenience store buying a drink whe ..read more

I’ve been with my boyfriend for about a year. I was so happy, and maybe I was too oblivious. But I really didn’t think there were any problems with our relationship or what he thought of me. I loved him, and I thought he did too. We could’ve spent more time together looking back, but I really like having time and space to myself. I’d still see him every few days, we still spent plenty of time together. But maybe it wasn’t enough. I also didn’t sleep with him a lot, but it’s not like I said no all of the time. It was just that sometimes I was tired or feeling sick or sore or didn’t feel like i ..read more

My girlfriend (26f) and I (28m) have been together for over a year. I have a 4 year old daughter from a previous girlfriend. Gf and daughter get a long very well, gf just quit her job and moved in with me full time. Everything is going great! Until, her best friend announced she just bought a house, is getting married and now is pregnant as well. They started dating about 1 month before us. My girlfriend LOST it. She has been crying for literally 24 hours non stop. Picking fights with me, just generally acting psycho and having panic attack after panic attack.... I planned on marrying her whe ..read more

As the title says.... And I'm not sure how to feel about it, or react to it. I had a sudden unexplained hematoma appear in my hand and wrist. It's bulging and sore causing my whole arm to ache. Probably about 5 inches by 5 inches and sticking out an inch. I'm also 22 weeks pregnant and on aspirin. He came home from work within 20 minutes of this happening, I showed him and he agreed that it was alarming and I needed to see a doctor urgently. We have a 1 year old together and I have children from a previous relationship (as does he, he's step dad, I'm step mum). I said could he watch the kids ..read more

I'm not one for writing eloquently anymore so here's the gist. Its a mishmash. Been together 5 years. No kids, just some dogs and cats. Gotta figure out how to divide them. I earn more so I'll take the bigger dogs I guess. I owned a home before we met it's being rented out and we bought one together. So there's some financial intanglement. No prenup. As for why we might be ending things. It's been a long time coming. No cheating or violence or hating of each other or anything. We still like/love each other as a person. It's just our beliefs. I'm atheist have been since I was a kid. She was ag ..read more
