After going on some bad dates, I (23f) met a guy (26m) on bumble who I ended up really liking and it turns out he was recovering from a 3 year relationship. I ended up letting myself be his rebound because for some stupid fuck reason I thought I was special and I thought I could turn shit around. Every thing started moving really fast, as rebounds do, and of course as I’m falling for with him, he’s still coming to terms with his past relationship. Now we’re trying to be friends but I still have feelings for him, and I’m too emotionally exhausted to get myself back out there and move on. I don’t open up to people well and I don’t think I wasted my time with him, because he’s such an awesome guy and I do see a great friendship there but all the energy it takes to put myself out there and be vulnerable again?

Here’s the short story: I’ve known about this girl for the whole school year, and have three classes with her. I have not had a actual conversation with this girl during this whole time. Why? I have no idea why, but I literally just freeze up around her. I would say it’s because I find her really attractive, but I’ve literally never had this issue with any other attractive looking girl. Cut to now, the end of the school year with a couple months left, and I start thinking about her again, but I realize it’s not because I like her. How can I? I’ve literally never had a conversation with her. What I’m feeling is regret. Regret that I’ve had a whole school year and pussyfooted the whole time not talking to her. Here’s where I’m having trouble with. I’ve never dealt with regret when it comes to relationships, and I have literally no idea what to do. I can’t just walk up to her this late and start a conversation like I know her, so what do I do? Submitted May 07, 2019 at 04:26AM H

After 3 months of dating app Bumble, I have had the following experience: Being ghosted Asked for money Dating and then finding out he is married Guy said he wanted to develop something serious but only said so for sex I am so tired of all the traps in online dating. Is he married? Is he serious? Even if he says he is serious, is he serious? Is he who he said he was? So, I did an experiment. I kept everything on my profile but adding one line saying “I am not on Bumble regularly, but if you are obsolutely serious about developing something meaningful, here is my number:xxxxxxxx. Everyone else, swipe left.” Being a girl on dating app, I usually get matches every day.

21F - Here’s the deal. Matched with this guy on tinder. Talked to him on the phone for almost 4 hours straight in the early morning for the first time. Realize we have fairly similar interests. We have several conversations over the week. We met the following Wednesday to watch Endgame and got a quick snack. Afterward we texted each other and things got kinda nsfw. Conversation kinda goes this way all week. We don’t text a lot during the day, mostly at night because of my work schedule. When I ask about his day, I don’t get a lot. And I don’t wanna gripe to him about my job. Few things about me: I still live with my folks and I don’t know how to drive. Also, my last relationship was 2 years ago and honestly my social life is nonexistent. I really want to be with this guy but I guess I need a reality check or some advice. Were we doomed from the start or is there still hope? :/ Submitted May 07, 2019 at 04:32AM 21F - Here’s the deal. Matched with this guy on tinder. Talked to

I’m a 26 year old guy and went out with some of my friends on Saturday night. We did go wine tasting during the day and some of the girls were a bit tipsy by the time we went out to dinner. I sat next to one girl (23) and we were talking hitting it off well and she was being flirty even my friends commented saying that there was a connection. She ended up pretty drunk and I was lightly drunk. I tried to make a move but she said she’s not into pda but she gave me her number and said to hit her up when she was sober. My roommate was talking to her friend so we ended up bringing them both home. The girl I was talking to came just cause of her friend it wasn’t my intention to bring her back. Nothing happened both girls slept in the living room and I slept in my room. Both girls were still drunk on Sunday and I dropped them off at home since my roommate was still drunk himself. Fast forward to Monday and the girl I was talking to left her glasses at my house so I met up with her to give th

Met this girl at a party a few months ago and clicked instantly. The kind of chemistry where you catch each other's eyes from across the room constantly. We talked about music and shows and how we were both going to go to one that has finally come around this Thursday. And then just like that, she was gone. We messaged a few times in FB about other shows closer to the time we met, I gave her my number to let me know if she would be going, but nothing has come of it. To be fair, I didn't go either. But now that this show is coming up I feel that it's my one shot to see this girl I otherwise would never randomly run into in the city. Only problem is....I can't go to the show because of a work commitment. Shit. At 27, I don't really get nervous anymore, I'm not afraid of rejection or anything and i've been pretty fortunate in the hookup arena my whole adult life (not a boast, just some context). I'm just feeling very out of the game after 5 years in a rel

So I am a freshman in college and here is the story: - met a girl in class and helped her for an exam - didn't see her in a while but she stopped me while I was walking to class and said "hey i never see u around" and asked me if we could study together by me her number. - the next day, She offers help without me asking her for any and talks about empty things like how is the class and how was the exam. ​ Never had someone talk to me like this and grab my number this randomly but she does seem very friendly with other guys to so maybe shes just like that. To me I feel like she wanted to get to know me more cause she asked for my numbers. She was looking for me cause she was asking me where I was in the last couple of classes. Any ideas do girls usually do this in college?

So this girl and I (m19 and f18), have been friends since pretty much the beginning of last semester. We're in the same friend group and we have a history class together so we've been hanging out a fair bit studying together. Anyways we'd both friendzoned each other earlier this year but like within the past week or two we've both ended up liking each other and I asked her out (although she had hinted to me first that she wanted to be asked out). This is the first date I'm ever going to be on and is the first real potential I've had for a relationship. Here is the problem though, I'm getting so stressed out. I feel like I have this balloon of stress/anxiety in my chest now and every now and then it'll inflate and I'll start wondering if it's worth it to risk ruining a good friendship, if I still like her (I'd only liked her for a few days before I asked her out, I wonder if it was me that actually did it or if I got caught up in the moment)

I sense an upcoming separation or divorce bomb drop from my wife coming in the next 2 months. I’m looking for advice on the best strategy or course of action, with my goals being (1) preserve our marriage (or evolve our marriage so we are both happy and fulfilled); and (2) regardless of what happens to my marriage, make sure I work on my own happiness and well-being, so I can handle whatever comes my way. Some brief background: Both late 30s, 3 small kids (youngest age 3), moved 2 years ago away from family. Disruptive to my wife’s part-time career which was a very meaningful part of her life. We went to marriage counseling last fall, and at the same time I went to individual therapy. In MC, we mostly covered 4 issues: I was pressuring my wife for affection and intimacy (we were at about once a month). I never got overly physical. I admit to being frustrated, mostly because she would tell me she wanted intimacy, but then sometimes go 2 months rejecting or just showing no interest,

During every class he says stuff like; 'When you grow up your problems become huge, you realize you married the wrong person but you can't leave the marriage because you have kids with them' 'Life will be stressful, one day you would have to pay for a kid's school fees but they failing, it's as painful as paying lobola (bride price).' 'How can you pay lobola when you buying problems.' There is so much more. Initially I thought he was just being funny so did the class, but today I just realised it applies to him (forgive me for being slow) but he would be happy for moment when the class laughs through his problems, even with us in oblivion. I definitely don't want to approach him since I am clearly not the person to give him advice, and I fear recommending him to someone would let those in higher levels know he says such stuff in class and hence potentially lose his job. Any advice? Submitted May 06, 2019 at 06:44PM During every class

My husband and I (both mid-twenties) have been married for almost 2 years - so still kinda newly weds navigating the whole co habitation thing.

Background - We both work full time jobs (at one time I was working a full time and a part time), and I'm now going back to school. I sometimes feel I have a lot on my plate and I am struggling with a combo of anxiety and some depression (working on it). My husband struggles with anxiety too. {But also there is the small mamma's boy issue and the fact he grew up in a home where mom took care of everything (even when he was an adult) and his dad is an ass (especially to women) - husband isn't that way and is good man - just sometimes wonder if the old habits kinda resurface from time to time. } I shoulder a lot of the housework, cleaning, household errands, and dinner cooking.

Am I being too crazy when I think my husband is lying how hes been working late a lot? Like its crazy how they have to stay back. He rarely even comes home at the regular time anymore. The latest hes ever stayed was 12am. Most of the time its around 8-11. Its ridiculous right? Like i understand once in awhile. But now its just too much. Like is that even allowed? They work 8am til 4:30pm. Thats his schedule to work. But ever since march hes been coming home late almost everyday. Its happened a couple of time back then but rarely. Now its just like an everyday thing. Sometimes i feel like hes just fucking around at work or something. Or not even at work. I hate it.

Should I be concerned about my wife’s friend who hooks up a lot is on every dating app and gloats about her hookups? She’s been my wife’s best friend forever they started working together for the past 2 years and converse daily. They’re like sisters. A few times a month she calls me and asks if she can go have a beer with her after work and she usually comes home after a couple hours and doesn’t get drunk. I asked her if her friend ever meets guys that she talks to online when they go out and she said no. So I asked a friend who frequents the same bar and said that usually my wife’s friend will meet a guy and go home with him then my wife will come home. So I think my wife is lying about the fact that she doesn’t meet any of the guys she meets online. I’m concerned because my wife has grown distant the past couple months and I started to think she was talking to someone else but I’m fairly certain this isn’t true. I snooped and found nothing. I also brought to her my concern about thi

So my wife (23F) and myself (28M) have been together for 3 years this upcoming June. We married in December of 2018. I thought we were perfect together. Both of us medical professionals. She comes out of left field last weekend wanting an annulment. She tells me that she is in the darkest depression she has ever been in, because she feels that she can't make me happy. She explains that she can not be intimate with me. We've had sex a total of 6 times since December. I knew something was up, but I had blinders on this whole time. I blamed it on our crazy schedules, she works nights, and I work days. I am constantly traveling for school. She was never in the mood when our schedules lined up. Yeah it was frustrating for me but I never had a doubt that we weren't solid together. My wife has had intimacy issues since we first began dating. We started sleeping with each other early in our relationship doing everything but penetration. We didn't have penetrative sex until 6

I (29F) have been married to my husband (38M) for five years (together for 9 though). When we met, we both worked nights. So sure our hang out schedule was a little odd for most couples, but we spent plenty of time together. We both loved playing video games together and watching various animated shows with one another. We dated for a couple years and even lived together for a year before making the choice to get married. I did have a small infant from another relationship when we met. I got promoted to a day shift job a couple months before the wedding, and things began to change. The wedding itself went without a hitch other than we chose not to do a honeymoon as he too had gotten a new job just before the wedding and he started said job the day after we got married (New job was still night shift though). We found out we were pregnant six months after the wedding. (We weren't "trying", it was more 'if it happens it happens') Like our wedding, the pregnancy wa

I'm a stay-at-home mom. I've been married since I was 20. We are going on 15 years. We have a 12 yr old kid. Over the years our marriage has been tested, mostly by him but I've had my fair share. He likes to spend money and I'm frugal. I won't go over it all but he lies about the money he spends. For the first 3 years he locked me out of the bank account and barely gave me enough to by food. He got laid off and lied about getting another job. Our power and water constantly got turned off. Our house went into forclosure and I didn't know until we were served papers. I wanted a divorce so he got a job and begged me to stay. I started doing freelance illustration to make more money. He's a programmer and makes 6 figures but also spends like he makes more.. and only on himself. We had a few other bumps with his lies. The big one was in 2014 he opened a secret account and 2 credit cards. He stole over 100k from our joint account. I found out in 2017 when I inte

Hello, I guess I'm just looking for validation. Because I (23f) love my husband (25m), and I'm so happy that we ended up together, but when we fight, when things are rough for months on end, my mind wanders wondering, "Would things have been better with X (27m)?". We all were pretty great friends, and had a lot of good memories together. How X and I met was serendipitous and I introduced my husband to him. I'm so happy I know him, or knew him rather, like he's still alive but he's not in my life because I have a crush on the version of him I knew three years ago. He's one of the most emotionally intelligent people I know. He's one of the most intelligent people I know. I never thought I could be good enough for him because of IQ differences and religious differences. I was also a virgin when I met him and he was experienced (meaning just not a virgin) and with all of that I just crossed him off of the list. He is very attractive and one of the

My sweet husband is getting hooded this weekend and I couldn’t be more proud (PhD in Mathematics)! We’re both notoriously good gift givers (especially him) and have been for the last 10 years. Nevertheless, I’ve wanted nothing more than to give him the PERFECT gift for this occasion and I’m stumped! I’ve done special date nights, get-aways, watches, custom silicone bands, photo books, in the more “sentimental” categories before. His hobbies include working on his car/motorcycle, hiking/backpacking, and video gaming so I’ve got him plenty of tools for each trade over time.

I can't go for one visit to my mother without my fiance bringing up something that I didn't even think of and never would have. Stuff like "Do you think your mom thinks blabla" "why did your mom say [insert minor detail here that you only find if you are looking]". This happened only after we had our son (1.5 years old now). Now it all culminated while sitting at the dinner table. Our son took his plate of soup and threw it all over me and I stood up and said "fuckin ay'" and walked off, before dinner started. It had been a long day and I came back after a quick visit to the bathroom to clean myself up. I had no malice towards my son. My mom tells me every parent can get upset and frustrated and my fiance interjects "snapping at your child is not allowed in this household" my mom, me and everyone at the table tries to tell her that getting frustrated with your child and snapping at it, is not the same thing.

I'm going to attempt to answer your last four questions the best I can. It just means you do not experience sexual attraction, i.e., the desire to have sex. If I understand this question correctly, the answer is you're asexual. I suggest only telling someone should it become relevant to conversation or the current situation. If you're happy, keep doing what you're doing. And, lastly, there's no need to apologize for rambling. May 07, 2019 at 06:39AM
