I am a junior in college, 20 years old. The guy this is about is 23 years old and a senior in college but is staying an extra semester in college.
My sophomore year of college:
I met this guy through a mutual friend of ours. I got his number one night, we had talked everything will day the person who even fell asleep first during the night would be the person to respond to the last text sent from the night before so the conversation would never end. He has a very flirty sense of humor and I really enjoy his company and talking to him all the time. His friend was turning 21 One night and they were all going out to the bar to celebrate, he asked me if I could pick him up and bring him back to his place because he knew that he would be drunk to which I was happy that he would be smart about that to ask me to do that so I told him yes. So he texted me around 2 o'clock in the morning when the bar closed, that he and his friends are ready to leave. So I left my place to go get them and when I went back to their place and we all hung out and talked for little bit, he pulled me in his room to tell me that he did not want to be with his friends that night because they were all much more drunk than he was so I offered for him to stay at my place. He said yes and after he left his room, he told his friend goodbye and we left to go back to my place. Now, I work for housing so I had a early desk shifts around 6 o'clock in the morning, we got back to my placeat around 230 in the morning and we had talked until about five, I fell asleep for about 45 minutes and when I woke up from my desk shift and got out of my bed, he woke up too. I told him to go back to bed. After my desk shift, I went back to my room and he was awake watching tv, saying he couldn't fall asleep with me and then fall back asleep without me so I went back to bed and we fell back asleep. When we woke back up, we stayed there for a few more hours just talking and then we decided we qere hungry. I got up to go to the dining hall and he pulled me back down to my bed and kissed me and then said thanks for taking care of him and being there.
Fast forward to junior year:
He and I talked all through the summer and everything but at the start of school he started talking about a girl he works with at home and how she will be attending our university. When his texts started getting more sparce a month into school, I saw on Twitter that he was dating the girl he told me about. I wasn't mad they were and I wasn't even mad he stopped talking to me.
About a month ago, he texted me and asked if I knew this girl and sent me a picture. I knew her so I told him yea and he started grilling me asking me how and all of these things trying to set up a time we could all hang out but he wouldn't tell me why he was asking me these things so I got mad and stopped answering him
About two weeks ago, he texted me and asked if I remembered the argument we had about the girl he wanted to get to know. I said that yes, I did remember and he told me he wanted to clear the air that it was his girlfriend that texted me and wanted to know because she had a weird girl crush on that girl and wanted to be friends with her. He apologized a lot and told me he knew it upset me how rude she was being and he wanted me to know that he would never intentionally upset me like that and he wanted me to know that it wasn't him.
This past Saturday he texted me and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was playig with my friend's pet duck. He told me he had a cat before with his girlfriend. I told him I know and that I rmemeber that, he had to return the cat because they felt after his attitude hasn't changed in the couple weeks they had him that a college campus wasn't a suitable environment for that cat so they took him back to his owner. When I told him that I remember, he then told me that it was a different cat and that his girlfriend took this one home because they broke up and he left her have the cat but she couldn't keep it on campus since she lives in a dorm. I told him I was sorry for the break up and he said "Why do you think I told you it was her texting you that night and not me? I didn't want you to be mad at me."
Since then, it's been like before. We haven't stopped talking. We talk and reminisce about the night he stayed with me after drinking with his friends, we talk about how much fun we used to have hanging out, we talk about his best friend's deployment, everything. He's since asked me to hang out too and the one night I was sick of caring for my drunk friends, he told me to drop them all off at their respective places and if I needed anywhere to stay, his door was always open.
However, I don't know how to feel. I mean, I like it that were talking again, I did miss him. But I kind of feel like I'm only good enough for him when he's single. Or that he's got ulterior motives, that he maybe wants me to be his rebound. I haven't hung out with him even though hes asked and I don't know if I should, he misses his ex girlfriend (she broke up with him) and I don't know if he's just talking to me again for him to get over her.
It makes me feel iffy that he isn't using me to get over her because he calls me friend a lot in his texts. He did that before but I think he's doing it a lot more now. But he is asking me to hang out and he went right back to how we used to be as good friends. I even told him one night that they could all go to my friends place to hang out me and then I told him I fast tracked that if he was with his ex, I didn't want them to since I know she didn't like me and I knew she was the reason he stopped talking to me all those months (to which he agreed that she was the reason) and he was quick to text me and tell me that she wasn't with them if I wanted them to go to my friends place to hang out, they could.
So my question is, am I thinking too hard about this? I missed him. I like how we mesh together so well. But could there be ulterior motives? Should I be mad that he stopped talking to me?
Trust your gut instinct..it is almost always RIGHT. It sounds like he is not over her yet. I know it is hard because you want to believe he only wants you, but if he is still referring to you as a 'friend' than he is just pulling on your heart strings & most likely is looking for a friend with benefits, because he knows how much you care about him.
No matter what he says, he's trying to get over that girl and distract himself. You have to stand up and not let him do that to you, because once you find out he was NOT trying to be your boyfriend, you are going feel disgusted!
He sounds like a guy friend (rly good friend since h/s) I used to know that did the same thing to me when I was 18. He seemed really into me (not long at all after his serious gf broke up w/ him), wanted to hang out ALL the time, take me out, make out, BUT then as soon as we slept together, he completely changed.
ANYWAY the reason I am sharing this with you is b/c I could not be close friends with him afterwards. I realized he'd used me for sex and a rebound. It hadn't been a long enough time since they broke up. Oh and he started dating my ex-best friend several months to a year later b/c then it had been long enough time.
Your guy sounds a lot like this one, because you are/were such close friends. I think his motives are selfish because he knows how much you care for him and that you will always be there for him. You deserve better in my opinion! So now..do NOT answer him immediately or be at his 'beck and call' if you are. Even if you are pretending..say you are busy doing something or actually do go do stuff with your friends etc. This will make intrigue him and keep him guessing..if he really wants you.
I am not trying to hurt you and I know this seems harsh but a lot of guys lie and can be completely different than you think they are. I want to prevent you from this, because I have seen this happen to other girlfriends (other than me lol) as well. It is different in a g/f b/f scenario than a friendship. I would keep your distance & please do not become sexually involved since he seems to only come around when he's lonely or whatever. And he seems like he just always needs a lady wanting him and that he can flirt with. Wait several months and see if he is still talking about her or not and see if he refers to you as just a friend. Then you will really know or maybe you will find someone else in the meantime that is not so confusing. I hope this helps!!! Be strong!

I been knowing this guy for years we grew up together we stay around the corner from each other started having a crush on him not sure if.he caught the signs but after a while i got his number i texted him first and whenever i text im always.asking the questions n initiating every text every call so i back off for a couple of days nothin finally text him no reply i jus stated ignoring him when i see him but i care about him a lot n he care about me too i want to start over with him... help me
Honestly, if he is making you work that hard for it and he is not even trying than most likely he is not interested in being more than friends. I know it sucks. Sometimes people do not feel the same way. BUT what you have to do is act like he does not exist, have fun with your friends, and maybe even talk to other guys. Once you start doing that one of two things might happen.
1.) He will see how happy you are and will see what he missed out on OR
2.) You will move on and find someone that makes all the moves on you and treats you how you deserve to be treated!
And I know what that feels like when someone does not like you back and you think you will never get over that person but as time passes and you distract yourself & keep busy, you will see he is not God's gift to earth and HE doesn't deserve you. :) I promise. Good luck girl!

I am pretty bad at math, and I don't have the reason most people are bad at it. I have synethesia (Google it if you don't know what it is) whenever I do problems it seems like I'm in a swarm of colors and it makes it hard to focus on the problem. When we do problems like 1.278•34.9000 I end up swimming in red,orange,hot pink, dark purple, emerald green, sky blue, orange, and lots of silver. It's so annoying! I like having synethesia, but not during math. It also makes it hard to remember stuff because the math teacher talks, and the numbers all translate to colors, for a while, then fades away, and of I wanna remember what he said I need to translate all the colors back to numbers, and figure out if they were single digit or if they combined. Another thing is each number has a specific personality. And they interact with each other, for example, 1 is a bully to 0, so whenever 0 is near 1 I feel bad and that makes it very stressful doing problems. Another thing, X is cherry red. So X=9, 9 is orange, cherry red=orange (????????) Most people won't understand, but it makes math stressful and annoying!
Wow I have heard of a lot of things, because I was in pre med when I went to a different university, but this is something new. I could not imagine what that is like. Anyway I did not see a specific question in your paragraph. From what I read about the research on it, it seems to be inherited in some way because synesthesia is a dominant trait amd may be on the X chromosome. It looks like something that is still being researched. Mary J. Blige (not sure of your age but she is a classic r&b artist) has this condition also. Again I am not sure of your question, but it is something you are going to have to make the best of. You are unique! You will find your strengths. I know that is probably hard to hear from someone that has not experienced your troubles but I hope it gets better for you and you don't see it as a negative :) Talk to your teachers , a doctor/specialist, and see if there is any way to make it easier for you. Keep your head up!

Ok my friend hates herself and says that she is ugly and all of my other friends and me are pretty and she's ugly I don't know what to do please help age 12 gender girl
It is just a part of being in middle school/puberty at that age. Your face and body are changing a lot during that time. At this age, a lot of girls really believe they are ugly so there is nothing you can really say to change her mind about that at this moment. BUT she will grow out of it. It is great that you are worried about her.. sounds like you are a good friend. Just have fun with her and if she starts to put herself down just be like "girl please", act like you didn't hear it, OR maybe even say "yeah I feel that way sometimes too" so she doesn't feel alone you know? You have to be careful with compliments and flattering. If you are going to compliment her, do NOT make it a compliment about her appearance! Compliment her on something she has done like sports, art, schoolwork, or just ANYTHING OTHER than her looks and clothes! If she is not physically active, maybe encourage going on a walk or run or riding bikes or something you guys can do together. Hope this makes sense! It is normal for her to feel that way at this time in her life. So for now focus on having fun with her and enjoying your youth! Much love

Hey guys. My friend is in a little situation right now.
A month ago,my friend confessed to his crush that he has a crush on her through text. My friend showed me their conversation and the she dont believe it at first. She said that my friend was crazy and blind. But I think that she only said that because of the shock of what my friend told her or she wants to make sure that my friend wasnt bluffing. A week past,and they gotten closer. But right now the girl acts like the confession never happened. And she doesnt consider my friends feelings anymore.
Is that a sign of rejection??
Unfortunately, it sounds like she doesn't want to ruin the friendship. BUT it is possible she thought he was joking and girls want guys to make the move. He should have done it to her face because texting is so impersonal. So tell him to tell her to her face and be serious about it!!!!! ..because neither he or her can tell how each other means something through text. If she shies away or changes the subject then yeah she is not interested in more than friends. BUT he HAS to try again to her face!

please tell me how i can make the voices stop! they are scary and say terrible things that i can't blocl out of my mind. how do i make voices in my head go away?
You need to go to a psychiatrist because you are most likely schizophrenic. They will evaluate you, diagnose you, and can get you the help you need. My grandmother has the same thing along with 2 of her sons (my uncles). The medication for schizophrenia does help the voices die down. I hope you do this. You'll be alright. I cannot say I know how you feel but I have been around it enough to know it is just a part of who you are. It sucks asking for help and I know you probably do not want to be on medication, but this is actually vital and it will help immensely. Much love

I don't really know that my guy likes me or not but i think so that kind of he likes me ......... But sometimes he just shows that he hates to hell and sometimes he just turns back looks at me....... i seriously don't know what to do plz!!!!! I am from INDIA
It sounds like he is playing hard to get and teasing you a bit. Guys take longer to mature than girls. Some longer than others. If he wants to play games than you can either also act uninterested sometimes & tease him, & play his game OR ignore him and act like you do not know he is there to show you will not play his game. Guys, when they are young, tease girls when they really like them ..it is confusing. So basically tease him back or ignore him and act like you do not care if he doesn't like you ..even though you do. I hope this makes sense. He is immature and does not know how to just say he likes you so he plays with you. Do what comes natural to you. Readily flirting back or acting like you could care less.. whichever is easier for you. Hope this helps. Good luck!

what does 'jet leg' or 'jet lag' mean?
Jet lag means when you fly from a place with a different time zone than where you are going and your time perception is off. Basically, you feel like it is a different time than it is and it takes a couple days for your brain and body to be at the same time zone that you are in… if that makes sense. Like if I am in New York City and I just flew from Paris… I would feel like it is day when it is night or vice versa. Or even New York City and Los Angeles.. is 3 hours differemce. .it would feel different going to and from those cities.

i started using birth control pills (triphasil) since 16 jan and have been taking it everyday at the same time,and then got my period on the 2nd-4th feb...i then recently had unprotected sex which was on the 28 jan and then on the 4th march i got my period again..isit there a possibility that it might not be my periods and that i may be pregnant..because i do take my pill at the same time everyday and hav never missed 1
No it is natural to have a period still on birth control and you are not pregnant. I mean you can take a test if you want to make sure but I am positive you are not. Birth control usually works. And you are still getting your period so yeah I would say you are not pregnant.

hey, so I've been dating this girl, long distance. I love her, but I am not old enough to drive yet (14). I just want to do something nice, sweet to her, to show her that I love her, something sweeter than posting on Instagram. any ideas on what I could do?
Send her flowers. You can order flowers for her over the internet or phone. Maybe, if you dont want to ask her address, send them to her school if you know through facebook what school she goes to?? I don't know.. just an idea :)

i live in a society where sex before marriage isn't allowed.. so how can i now fake virginity..?? :/
Don't tell anyone you have had sex. You and the person you had sex with are the only people that know you had sex so if you don't tell then no one will find out :)

Personally, I have been very miserable all of my life. I have suffered from OCD as long as I can remember. I moved from New York to Florida when I was five years old. It was very traumatic for me. I have tried to commit suicide, but I just ended up in a mental institution. I do see a psychiatrist, but she does not help me. In fact, I only see her for the medication. I am absolutely miserable right now, especially with my job. I decided that I will no longer give any types of hints about suicide because I don't want to end up in a mental institution again. That did nothing to help me. I am going through preparations (getting my house ready, cleaning, trying to pay off bills).
The only difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist/therapist is that psychiatrists prescribe medications. From my personal experience, psychiatrists are quick to diagnose and prescribe but not really care. You should try to find a psychologist or therapist because they will actually listen for an hour and help you way more. They get way more personal. Sorry I am not sure what you mean by going through preparations? Do you mean to commit suicide? I hope not. I have been where you are. I thought I would never stop being depressed. So first definitely look online and look for psychologists/therapists in your area… usually they have profiles and you can see who you think you would connect with. You might have to go to more than one to find one you really like and that gives good advice and that you click with. You know?
Then if you feel stuck because of your job then if you have the qualifications to where you could find something else.. you should make that a goal. I felt worse on antidepressants and like a zombie and I personally stopped taking them years ago. I am not sure if you do not like your job because you do not feel up to doing anything because youre depressed or if your job is making you more depressed. You don't want to keep working somewhere if you feel that stuck and makes your lifr feel hopeless and meaningless. Maybe take a leave of absence or just quit. Find something somewhere where you could use your credentials to do something you feel good about. I know when you're depressed it is hard to feel good about anything.
Definitely find the specialist I talked about before (NOT a psychiatrist!) and if you think your meds are helping you then don't suddenly stop them because you will go through bad withdrawals. I just personally did not feel better on any of the different antidepressants they put me on over a few years (I felt like someone else was saying and doing things in my body but not me when I was on them I mean… if that makes sense) . But some people they do help so that is up to you.
You will find someone to help and a better job! Don't give up! There are people out there that can help ;) And you can message me anytime. Oh and one more thing that really helped me (other than getting out of a bad relationship) was getting my dog. A couple years ago a family was giving her away for free because they didnt want her and were not treating her right and she has been such a gift to my life. She was already potty trained too. Or any pet really. Also if you have any friendships or a relationship with nyone that is putting you down or is verbally abusive or just really negative… you should stay away from that person or thoae people because they are just making it worse and enabling yoir already melancholy feelings. Good luck ..please do not give up!

Hello,
My boyfriend and I are 17 and 18 years old. We started a long distance relationship a little over six months ago. Back then, I was still a virgin and he knew that. However, a few months ago I cheated on him and lost my virginity to a guy I honestly had no feelings for. I was completely aware of what I was doing and I did it because I really just wanted to get it over with. I made sure there were no feelings attached. Now, the guy still chases after me, but I want no business with him, or any other guy rather than my boyfriend. I love him to death and really have no trouble remaining faithful. I realized it wasn't worth it and he's truly the only guy I ever want to be with. However, I know that he'll want to break up with me and his heart will be completely shattered if he knows. He keeps talking about how magical he wants my first time to be once we finally see each other again. And I believe it will be magical because it'll be with him. I don't want to lose him, but I do think he needs to know. I also don't think it's any conversation to have via phone/text/video. A close friend told me not to say anything '"cause there's no point". I know if we were in the same time zone it'd be easier to confess and try to win his trust back, but I have a serious disadvantage by not being able to daily demonstrate my true feelings towards him. I've thought of telling him in the far future, once we're living together, but I don't know how he'll feel about it after such a long time...
Also, I'm actually kind of glad I did it only because it was extremely painful, and he wasn't the one who caused that terrible experience. The guy was gentle, so it would've been bad either way. Should I tell him when we finally meet again? If so, should I do it as soon as possible, or do I give it some time? If I do choose to tell him, I know I probably shouldn't have sex with him until he's known, but I'm terribly scared of ruining the possibility of a future with him.
I'd appreciate any thoughts and advice,
Thank you.
Yes I would tell him when you meet again or skype (not the best but depends on how long it will be til you see him) ASAP . I would tell him just like you said to me: that you wanted to get it over with and that it was with someone you do not even care about...then also tell him you really regret it because it was really him that you wanted to do it with. Also, maybe say that you wanted to be good when you do it with him in the furture (basically you wanted an expeerience) so that you did not suck and you have an idea of what to do.
You have to tell him. I would say the longer you wait, the worse he will take it. It will eat you up if you never tell him. If he really loves you, he will understand. Just say you had to tell him so that there is no big secrets between you guys and it is eating you up inside. If you wait awhile to tell him, he will not trust you and might leave you. You do not want a dishonest relationship because if there's no trust, there's no real relationship. You will not have a future with him if you lie by omission. It is hard and he will probably get mad at first but it will work out if you guys are meant to be. I promise. Give him space if he needs it. It will be ok! I know it sucks but you will be happy you told him. Good luck !!

I want sex with my boyfriend but I'm lucky if I get a kiss of him. Im a girl and I only got my first bra today and I'm not finished with puberty I've snogged and my ex showed me how to have sex but he left my school my other ex dumped me for two girls in my class. My boyfriend isn't that serious and I want more but the ex that is still in school won't go back out with me.
You are going to have a lot of horny feelings going through puberty. I would hold off getting too sexual right now with boys because they are so immature at your age and are only going to hurt you. You also do not want them to start telling everyone you had sex after you break up. Maybe start masturbating? Or get a vibrator? That way you could release some of those feelings without having to force yourself on a boy.
I mean you can do what you want, but I would wait until you are in a serious relationship with a guy that wants to be with you and have sex with you too. Don't do it just to do it because you will probably regret it. Make sure he is a good guy and not a sleezeball that will break up with you after or will go off and tell your class or something because that would be embarassing. Hope this makes sense. You will be fine! Good luck babe!

My wife and I have been married for 47 years. Admittedly shew has made some good financial decisions over the years but now I am concerned about something very serious. We have approximately 95,000.00 in nth stock amrket. ait goes up and down, most.y down lately. I want it all sold and the money put into the bank where it never goes down. She refuses and I hate confrontation. She will simply not talk about it. I asked her one question that I thought would seal the sell it all deal. "Is there more of a chance of it getting to 100,000 or going to 80,000.00"? we've all seen the crashes and we're to old to go through another one. What do you suggest?
Sell the stock immediately. Put it in the bank or cash it out and keep it in your house because you cannot really trust the banks that much either. Or buy gold.. actual gold (not gold stock) because if the dollar fails, it will be as worthless as the paper it's printed on. You will have to sell the stock on your own if your wife is resistant. You will just have to tell her a little while after you've done it. If you usually handle the finances (I know you said she has made some good decisions so I don't kmow how involved she is) then I would hold off telling her until she asks. If she hasn't been talking about it then she might not bring it up. I mean I'm sure you will do what is best as far as when she will find out. I would definitely get the money from the stock now and put it away. Hope this helps :)

My boyfriend's mother has become aggressive towards me and has falsely accused me of being the reason as to why he has been missing school but he has not missed a day of school since his Birthday and she doesn't want me around anymore... But I've been the one to help her since she has such a busy work schedule, I have been providing him with rides to and from work, and to and from school when he has missed the bus... But she's been trying to accuse me of making power moves but in reality I've asked for her permission every time I go to get him and she had acted like it was perfectly fine but wants to turn around and act as if I'm trying to act as his mother, which is why she had sent me a nasty text message saying "I'm his mother, I say what goes" but I haven't tried to disrespect her not once. Currently Will has made me stay with him at his house, and I'm not sure if I should just stay here and wait to see what the outcome is because he said he would stick up for me, or if I should flee before it's too late and she shows up...
I think his mom probably feels insecure and somewhat embarrassed that she cannot do everything or be everything he needs all the time. Sometimes people , especially a mom, do not feel right about having help in doing things they feel like they should be responsible for. And I think that is all it is . I do not think it is anything personal even though I'm sure it feels like it is. Just maybe have a one-on-one and say something like Im not trying to take away from the hard work you do or replace you, I just also care about him too and want to be there for him also. And just reassure her you are not trying to erase her or outdo her etc. I think she will warm up to you. Just give it time .Hope everything works out!!

Do I have a STD after I gave my new boyfriend a BJ and my throat is a little sore
If you swallowed his cum you could get an infection like strep throat… otherwise no. the only other one you could get is herpes and that would be on your mouth. hope this helps.

Hi! So I'm female and am 13 years old. So basically I had a close friend who I hang out with loads, and I developed a crush on her. I started hanging out with her a bit less and found a new 'best friend' to hang out with. And yeah I developed a really bad crush on her. Now as I'm hanging out with someone new- I'm developing a crush on her now! I don't know what to do. I haven't told any of these that I have a crush on them, but I just feel really awkward because I only normally have one crush at a time, but if I'm with them and hanging out with any of them. The feelings will come back. I say a crush as in I get the feelings to make it a dating relationship rather than a friendship. I don't know why I'm doing this, I'm at an all girls school by the way. If I was at a mixed school I probably would be more fixated on the boys (I'm bisexual by the way) but I'm not so I just keep on doing this. I don't know what to do! Advice would really be appreciated- thanks! xx
Well are these girls also bisexual or lesbian because if they are not then I am not sure there is much you can do other than maybe nonchalantly ask "have you ever had feelings for another girl? ". If they say yes then you could ask other things like "have you ever thought of being in a relationship with another girl? ". If the answer is yes or if you already know they are interested in females then the only thing you can do is be honest and ask how they would feel being in a relationship with you. Then atleast you will know you have a chance in the future. I think ,being a girl myself, I like it and would be flattered by the honesty and boldness. If they answer no to being with another girl or having feelings for another girl then you will know you will just have to appreciate the friendship and wait for someone else to come along. You will have to choose only one and take your time to make sure you make the right choice if they both say yes. hope it works out!!! Good luck!

My husband and I's one year anniversary is coming up in a few months, and so is a very close friend's wedding, her wedding date: our one year anniversary. I'm at a loss of what to do. My husband wouldn't be able to come with me to her wedding, and my friend would be extremely hurt if I didn't go. What makes the situation awkward is I knew when picking my wedding date that my friend would be getting married that same day. I had no choice however (my husband is military). I reassured and promised her since she got engaged that I would be there at her wedding. In fact, as soon as I got the wedding invite, I texted her and let her know I would be there and how excited I was. My husband always knew I'd be going, but I guess it just clicked for him I'd be missing or first anniversary. He's very upset, anniversaries are very important to him. I tried reasoning with him that we could celebrate another day, but he's not having it. What do I do? I will always pick my husband over anything, but shouldn't he be more understanding? Should I be present for the most important day of my close friend's life and hurt my husband? Or be there with my husband for our one year anniversary and risk losing my friend? (And I have very few true good friends)
Oh wow. Yes he should definitely be more understanding. Most men are horrible with dates and you have to remind them and usually they are not as stubborn about something like that. I'm sorry girl. I think I would go to the wedding. I do not think your husband is going to leave you for going to your best friends wedding. Just make a promise you will celebrate it every year from next year on on the same day. He should get over it. I would have said celebrate with your husband but I am pretty sure if it was the other way around and he had a wedding to go to of his best friends on your anniversary that you would be much more understanding. You should not be in a situation to have to pick between the two right? Your friend is only going to get married once and your anniversary comes once a year so I think go to the wedding and hopefully he will realize that it is not because you don't care about him but because you would be understanding for him if it was the other way around. And that is what a great relationship is..having to compromise on both sides. He should not make you feel bad about wanting to be there for your friend, especially when he knew about it before. He will get over it. Good luck girl!! It will work out!
You are already married and can still celebrate. Maybe try to do something special the day of the anniversary for your husband unless the wedding is out of town? Go to the wedding :-)

I raped someone I want to turn myself in immediately. Tell me what I need to do. I need to be punished. I will not say how it happen and why. I can't make up any excuses. I was drunk but it doesn't change anything. The person who was hurt doesn't want to do anything and prefers to just forget and move on, but I can't . I need to be punished and I want to turn myself in. The person wouldn't have to worry about trial or publicity. I just need to know what I have to prepare for.
This is a very tough question for me to answer. It is ironic you inboxed me this. Mainly because I was raped when I was 17 and a little over a year later when I had turned to alcohol and was blacking out to stop thinking about what had happened it happened again then another time after that. The other two times I was so messed up I couldn't move so I blame that on myself. I know what the side effects can be afterward. I have never been the same. I did get help and have gotten my life together.
Anyways yes I think you should turn yourself in. I'm glad you feel bad about it because you just gave someone a world of issues that do not disappear overnight or ever for some people. she's just embarassed. If she doesn't want to press charges (you should tell her all she has to do is make a report and ahe can keep her name from being public etc and thats all she has to do) but you have to admit it I would think you would still get in trouble. This is a hard question for me but I'm not going to apologize for being harsh. You need help. My first rape was reported (bc of the best friend I confided in kept pushing me to and I finally did only bc I wanted him to be punished but I was so scared and embarrassed) and I didn't want my name in the paper either and it wasn't but his was in the jail report. Try to turn yourself in.. if the cops don't do anything ,even though I think they will.. get a therapist. I hope you get in trouble.
