Posted Saturday June 8 2019, 4:27 pm

So....Its alot so my mom has been ill my whole life and when I was little, I saw her as my hero that she could do no wrong and my world revoled around her..I would have a gut feeling about some of her actions... but I couldnt possiablely go against her because she was always right...So as Im getting older I'm starting to realize the things she use to do would influence me...

Does he like me or her?


Posted Friday June 7 2019, 11:51 pm

So apparently this guy that I like had a crush on me in the past (and might still? It was recent), but another girl is super forward about her crush on him, like leaning her head on him and stuff, etc. He usually looks pretty awkward but is still good friends with her. Him and I only recently finally started talking and texting each other. She's much more bold than me... it seems like he might be starting to like her. What do i do?? I used to be pretty cold (in order to hide I liked him), and recently started opening up a bit, and he is starting conversations and stuff now a lot more since then. But she is a lot closer to him and I don't know if he still likes/can like me again. Any tips on what to do? :')

School Troubles/Drama


Posted Friday June 7 2019, 10:07 pm

At school, I have a group of friends who sit at lunch together. One girl, I'll call her Sara, is really into anime. She wears mostly anime t-shirts, has a MHA backpack, the whole sha-bang. As a joke, we like to poke fun at her and her choice of clothing: things like. "Didn't you wear that shirt yesterday?" or, "Do you have any regular shirts in your closet?" Of course, we are aware that she is comfortable with this and she does not take it personally. Around 2 months ago, this other girl, I'll call her C, comes to our lunch table because 'all of her other friends left her.' Now, this girl isn't the best: her friends left her for a reason. But we said, sure, why not? Come join us. Big mistake. She has a ginormous ego and ...

Losing my best friend in the whole entire world


Posted Friday June 7 2019, 9:18 pm

A while back I started getting really close to a guy (being a girl myself). We became best friends pretty quickly and I felt a strong connection to him. After months of friendship he confessed to me about having a crush on me and possibly even being in love with me. However, I’ve had a boyfriend for over a year and still am very happy with him, so I naturally turned him down. At first we seemed to be able to stay good friends but he has now told me that he feels like he is dependent on me and knowing that I cannot be his really upsets him. I obviously understand that he needs his distance from me to get over his feelings and move on but I haven’t stopped crying since he told me he needed space. I feel like our friendship is over because...

Why isn't he texting me back?


Posted Thursday June 6 2019, 8:20 pm

26/F

I recently reconnected with this guy who I used to be friends with. He lives in California (my hometown) and I live in NYC. The guy is in a long-term poly relationship with this woman who lets him have sex with whoever he wants. When we first got back in touch with each other again, stuff got pretty heated. Since then, we have been sexting and having phone sex over the last 6 months.

I just came back to California for a vacation, and sent him a text letting him know that I'm back in town, and asking about when we were going to hook up. It has been a few days now and he hasn't responded. What is going on?? Does this mean he doesn't like me anymore or doesn't want to see me? If he was busy but did want to me...

My roomate has me confused


Posted Wednesday June 5 2019, 11:12 pm

Never done this before but Im in need of some outside advice(kinda complex). I just turned 20 a few months ago. I graduated early from highschool in 2018 and also from a local technical college that I attended half days (during highschool) for 2 years near a pretty good size city of over 500,000. Ive been working in a small town since I was 14 for farmers and a local lumber yard, I grew up 25 miles outside the city limits. When I was a sophomore I knew what I wanted to do for a career so I had a job lined up with a local heating and air company and after almost a year with them I was offered a real good job with another company that a good friend of mine has worked with for years (commission and hard work but pays real well and company vehi...

Is my Husband Cheating By Secretly Texting Women?


Posted Wednesday June 5 2019, 11:12 am

Ok, so my husband has a sex addiction. Over 16 years I have learned to suffer, forgive, and let go. Part of our trust agreement is I can look through his phone at will. He has secretly emailed and texts women and deleted the messages and lied about who they were. (says he has low self esteem). I thought our life was going pretty well. UNTIL last week. He left his phone home by accident and asked me to bring it to him at work. Being a nice wife, I did. But before I did I looked through it. Sure enough, He had set up a kik account and was talking to a girl half his age.(26) He is 54, and I wish he would grow out of this behavior. The comments were all hidden or deleted. Well, confronted him and he said it was a girl from facebook marketplace ...

My mom is a lifetime movie


Posted Tuesday June 4 2019, 4:13 pm

28/f. I no longer wish to have a relationship with my mother. We have an extremely toxic relationship. Although I'm 28, she treats me as though I'm a 16 year old drug addict. She shows up at my house, unannounced. She inserts herself into my love life. It's gotten to a point where I haven't even introduced her to my significant other, despite us being serious. At this point, we're discussing marriage, children's names, and I've introduced him to the rest of my family. But, because of her behavior, I don't want her near him. Whenever I travel, she blows up my friend's phones. People are afraid of her. I use to feel like I had to look at my dad and my grandparents as "heroes" because they would be the ones to "save" me fro...

I'm in love with someone much younger


Posted Tuesday June 4 2019, 1:46 pm

I'm a 30/F and I work in retail. One of my co-workers is an eighteen year old lesbian. Despite our age difference, we became fast friends. In the months we've worked together, I've become aware that I have romantic/sexual feelings for her. Over the years, I've had periodic feelings for other women, but never one so young. I tried to fight them at first, but I guess she could sense my attraction and, to my surprise, began to subtly flirt with me. Long story short, about a month ago, we went out for coffee after work and ended up kissing for the first time. We've been dating since then.

I'm really struggling with my feelings right now. Part of me feels this is wrong and that I shouldn't be involved with her like this. Part of m...

Scared to Talk to a Counselor


Posted Friday May 31 2019, 4:39 am

I've been told many times that I need counseling. I was raised by an abusive father, I have very low self-esteem and an issue with self hatred, I've had an issue with depression, my sister thinks I have OCD, I used to have a fear of marriage and still fear ending up in a marriage like my parents, I sometimes feel ashamed of myself and am paranoid when I go out in public that people are talking about me, and I have irrational fears. I want counseling badly, but every time I think about expressing my feelings to a counselor, I feel scared. I'm afraid of being judged. I'm afraid that my feelings are stupid, strange, unreasonable, selfish, childish, an overreaction, etc.

I'm not just afraid of expressing my feelings to a counselo...

I don't understand my family (my dad especially)


Posted Thursday May 30 2019, 10:22 pm

Before I start, i like to keep my information as private as possible so I'll specify now that I'm from Asia and have never been anywhere near Europe or America.
My family, except my dad, shifted to another country. My dad stayed for work and my sister recently went to live with him temporarily because of her exams. To be honest we never really lived with my dad he had work in another city and would only come by on weekends so there is not much difference. My sister's exams are over so i asked her why she decided to stay longer and she told me to mind my own business. That really hurt me because I miss her, i tried to ignore it because maybe she is stressed and we haven't really adjusted to this new country yet. My dad keeps secrets...

I’m in band and I feel like I don’t belong. I’m not great at playing my instrument. There’s this really hard song “creed”, and I cannot play it at all! Practice doesn’t work. I feel like I should quit, but soon the band is going to an amusement park, and that’s sounds fun so I don’t know.

Lab attire conflicting with parents belief


Posted Wednesday May 29 2019, 7:23 pm

I recently got accepted into a university and will be transferring from a community college to a university in the fall. My mom checked my syllabus and they are very strict about attire for my lab. I have to take chemistry 2 and it’s required for my major. They said that no skin whatsoever can be showing and we must wear long pants and leggings won’t work. Thing is, for my religion we wear skirts. I was thinking about wearing something under my skirt, but I don’t know what would be most appropriate. I wear leggings in the house and don’t own a pair of pants so I would have to go shopping. For anyone who’s taken these kinds of labs, would they be ok with that? Is it just necessary to have long clothing or would pants be necessary? ...

How do I say I don't want you people in my house, without saying that?


Posted Wednesday May 29 2019, 11:27 am

I have a question about a family event.

My son is graduating from high school, so I feel compelled to ask my family to attend. However, we are not close, and I have a horrible relationship with my sister who is a bully and is horribly judgmental.

That being said, I am having his party at a park,so I don't have to have my family in my home. I have pets, which they don't approve of, and I don't want to hear it.

My question is, how do I say I don't want you people in my house, without saying that? Or should I just say that?

This is causing me a lot of unnecessary stress, and I am unsure how to proceed. Any advice would be so appreciated!

In desperate need of advice regarding my relationship


Posted Thursday May 23 2019, 6:47 pm

29/f. I feel like I need to give a backstory, so I apologize in advance if this gets to be a little bit long. I began dating my current boyfriend, Steve, when I was abut 22 years old, give or take. Growing up, my mom and I were close. But, as soon as I became an adult, she started to abuse me horrifically. It seemed that all along, she just wanted me under her thumb and once she saw that I was establishing my own life as an adult, she couldn't accept it... including a more serious relationship. I started to realize, slowly but surely, that we were never really "friends." I was just a puppet.

So, she encouraged me to break up with him for various reasons and red flags that she believed I had missed. I believed that s...
