Anger Issues?


Posted Friday May 22 2020, 11:39 am

I'm not sure if it's exactly "anger" or my mother just hates me. She constantly calls me "useless" "lazy" "good for nothing" and tells me I'll probably be both homeless and jobless when I grow up. And it's not like I'm a horrible kid, I get pretty much straight A's in school and she seems proud when I tell my parents about it? But it's quickly forgotten. I'm not the only one in the family she treats like that, but my brother is the baby and the favorite of the family and rarely gets that treatment, and my dad is... to put it nicely, on her side, and to put it bluntly, pretty much a pushover. My mother constantly accuses me of throwing attitude at her even when I'm clearly not (one time she screamed at...

How can I come to terms with marrying for money?


Posted Wednesday May 20 2020, 11:01 am

My fiancé (30m) and I (26F) are getting married in the next couple weeks. We’ve been together for two years and live in the US. I come from a really poor family and never had much of anything growing up and it was honestly horrible. I went to bed hungry so many times as a child and even when I grew up, moved out, went to college, and got a job to support myself on; life still sucked without money. I was constantly having to figure out how I was going to make rent, how to shop for a bargain, feed myself, etc. I always had multiple roommates and counted every penny. I typically lived in college apartments so they supplied the furniture because I couldn’t afford it. I wore the same clothes for years and could never afford to do anything...

Thinking of a play to direct


Posted Tuesday May 19 2020, 7:13 pm

Hello, my high school does a thing where a student can direct a play in the Spring, and I would like to do it next year. Problem is, I don't have an idea for a play and would like some help.

Ideally, this is a drama with only acting and nothing else. We do have some singers so a 'play with music' is fine, but not ideal.

Obviously, I can't completely predict who is and isn't going to audition, but if we go by this year the program has roughly an even amount of boys and girls, a lot of Freshmen and Sophomores joined this year and we have some strong actors. The girls tend to be more 'drama' actors, whereas the boys are comedic and goofy. We have 21 people right now who aren't Seniors, so that is an estimate.

I don't know if I should go for him or not!


Posted Tuesday May 19 2020, 2:23 am

Hello,

I am from USA I am a girl and I am 18, and I have recently gotten feelings for a guy. My best friend and I are very close. My sister and her brother are even dating. My best friend has a friend who was dating the guy im into now. They were together for two years, and he ended things with her, because he didn't feel the same anymore, and things were different between them. I've been spent a lot of time with this guy before quarantine. Everyone thinks he's into me, he's a very good guy and we talk a lot over the phone as well. I like him but I don't know if I should make a move or not. If it would cause problems. My sister dislikes him, but she doesn't know him very well. My best friends brother loves him and thinks he's a really good guy. What should I do?

New marriage dealing with porn and escorts


Posted Monday May 18 2020, 4:12 pm

25/f
Husband is 28/m

My husband let's me use his ipad for games and for looking things up. I was looking up something for my new game, Animal Crossing, continued my search and then forgot the site that I originally liked so I went to the history page. That's where I found all these porn sites.
We've talked about porn and where we both stand with it. I told him I'm fine with it as long as he's not watching it while he's hanging out with me. He told me he doesn't like to watch it often because he knows some men who got addicted and how it could ruin relationships. He also has pictures of me on his phone as well as some videos of me and of us and I asked him why he saved those and he said this is what I use when I ...

Feeling guilty. Do I have the right to?


Posted Friday May 15 2020, 12:44 am

26/f

Almost two years ago, I was living with a guy that I was no longer in love with. Unfortunately, because I left a high paying job because I disliked it and found a job that I enjoyed. The downside was that it was lower pay than I have gotten paid. My thought process was that I had to take a few steps back to take a step closer to where I wanted to be. This was true, because even though my job doesn't pay me as much as I would've wanted, I get a free education and am now earning a Masters in a tech field.

Unfortunately because of the low pay, I stayed in an unhappy relationship. At some point, I had to get out and started researching apartments that were within my price range. A lot of the places that were o...

Could a long-distance relationship work?


Posted Thursday May 14 2020, 1:15 am

I talk to this girl a lot and get along well- and just from speaking to her on Instagram- I've realised we have a lot in common- we even came across each other via the same interest. I'd love to start a relationship with her- issue is, she's in a whole other country (she's American, whereas I'm in the UK), I've never actually personally met her, have spoken to her through Instagram Live though so know what she looks and sounds like (so I know she's not a catfish or anything) and also I thought long-distance relationships have some sort of connection to bad luck. I genuinely think she could be the perfect fit for me though, because:

We both came across each other through the same interest, Strictly Come Dancing (well, the Amer...

are these feelings normal and should I end things?


Posted Thursday May 14 2020, 12:57 am

For context, I am a girl and I’m sixteen. A few months ago, a guy that I knew started calling me every once in awhile. I didn’t think anything of it because I call my friends all the time and I had not thought of this guy as anything more than that. Let’s call him Cody. After a few weeks of him calling me on the phone, he asked me out. I said yes because I figured I could see what I think of him. Cody ended up being really nice and funny too, so we went out more. The problem is, I don’t know if I like him because I like him or because he likes me. That may sound confusing, but I feel like maybe the fact that Cody likes me makes me like him. I started thinking of this possibility because I still can’t see him as more than a friend ...

confused about feelings


Posted Wednesday May 13 2020, 8:35 pm

This is my first time using this site; II live in Canada. Male. I am just getting over a bad breakup (only 2 days ago) with someone I was and still am in love with. However, a friend of mine has been helping me through this and whenever I talk to him I feel my face heat up a bit and I feel... strange?
I can’t tell if I’m developing feelings for this friend (which seems weird to me seeing as how I still definitely am in love with my ex). Any ideas about my feelings?

Caught slipping


Posted Thursday May 7 2020, 11:25 pm

So I wanted a phone last year for my birthday but I didn’t get it. And every opportunity after that I couldn’t so I went up a few models( iPhone 6 to iPhone 8 Plus) when I shared my desire for the phone with my sister she shut down the idea of getting that phone, saying ``our mom wouldn’t get it because it was expensive, and it wouldn’t be right to get a phone that was more better than what she has(iPhone 6)". So her birthday was last month and she wanted to upgrade to a iPhone 7 but my mom couldn’t do it at the moment, and plus we discovered a couple of things that proved her unworthy of it anyway( trust me it was bad😤). But right after she did get enough money to buy me the iPhone 8 Plus, and so I ordered it, it arrived ...

How do you handle men & management talking about your clothes/body at work?


Posted Thursday May 7 2020, 2:05 am


I'm a female. I work for a home health agency and I visit clients at an assisted living facility. Some guys were gossiping about my uniform/body and the executive director made a complaint to the home health agency I work for. Some of the guys referred to me as the girl with the big _____. Wth, isn't that inappropriate?

They didn't even get in trouble for talking about me. The executive director called my agency to tell them that I'm a distraction, and he's not sure where I get my uniform from, blah blah. I wear scrubs to work everyday, nothing inappropriate. I'm a modest person. I bought some scrubs that were elastic/stretchy. They were good quality scrubs. I don't have to throw them in the dryer and they don't wrink...

What do I do about my future?


Posted Monday May 4 2020, 9:11 am

I'm (female, 24)currently employed in a full-time permanent role as a HR administrator. Sounds great, right? Except it's not. I moved into this role two years ago under the guise that if I worked hard and got the necessary qualifications I'd see career progression and a bigger salary (as someone who lives at home alone with her physically/mentally-disabled-due-to-a-stroke mother, this was super important to me).
Two years later, I have the qualifications. Still, my pay hasn't changed since I started the role (though my responsibilities have increased), in fact, I earn less than the individuals who are employed in my previous position in the mail room. In addition to this, I've also developed a severe repetitive strain injury in bot...

Should I reconnect with my best friend?


Posted Monday May 4 2020, 2:50 am

My best friend and I ended our friendship 7 months ago. He betrayed my trust and showed his true colors after I defended my boyfriend, which my friend always had something against because of his own old romantic feelings towards me. He humiliated me in front of my friends and tried to make me feel bad and apologize for things that should never be apologized for. Now, 7 mos later I’m able to recognize my mistakes, and I think we were both too stubborn at the time to fix the problems in our relationship. If they were fixed, our friendship probably wouldn’t have ended so soon. Now I hate to say it, but I miss him tremendously. Our happy memories constantly remind me how much I miss him being my best friend, talking to and seeing him everyd...

will my kids be unlucky in love if my family generally are unlucky in love?


Posted Friday May 1 2020, 7:24 am

I am a 53 year old guy who just went through his 5th divorce earlier this year. Now, I haven't been the one to file for divorce on a single one of these occasions- it's always been them. I have Asperger's syndrome, which I don't think any of my wives really understood about. They knew I had it but didn't really know what it was. I'm thinking this is perhaps connected to these divorces? My first wife left me after those last few years of just not really interacting. That divorce hurt more than any of them, I was heartbroken by it- I thought we'd be together forever, especially since we'd had two kids. Then I met my second wife who I also had a child with- she was generally quite bossy towards me towards the end of our marriage (the first wif...

Am I wrong?


Posted Wednesday April 29 2020, 8:15 am

So basically. I just found out my father has malignant melanoma. It's a skin cancer. I have a sister and she tends to get EXTREMELY nervous for these kind of situation so I understand her feelings. She proceeds to text me today telling me she felt like crap about the situation and to top it off she was mad at me for calling her ungrateful to her child's father. They have been broken up for some time but she still seems to be attached and gets jealous every time he seems to try to move on. I have told her over and over that she is an ungrateful bitch because she truly is. The point is, she only knew about it because she went through my phone while I was sleeping. I honestly get where she is coming from but I feel like she was wrong for going through my phone.

My singing dilemma


Posted Saturday April 25 2020, 4:05 am

I am a 17 year old guy and I am from India. I play guitar and I sing. I post the song covers on Instagram. I get all the good comments but I am in a dilemma. I feel sometimes that I don't sing good (I have a bass in my voice). I get all the good comments about my singing but I get criticism as well. Sometimes I feel I should not stop singing but sometimes I feel that I should stop singing. The good comments I get I think are just for the sake of commenting. I am really confused. I don't know what to do. I need your advice.
