This will be a bit long winded - and there may be some vagueness as some of my family members use Reddit My uncle has a child that was never really acknowledged for a long time within my family. He was always a bit of a secret and was not really mentioned when my grandparents would talk about the "grandkids". For whatever reason it was always like this, but ever since I was young I knew he was my cousin. My sister has received messages from somebody who is claiming to be the daughter of my uncle. She has said she would like to know where she has come from, especially since she has her kids. She has said that her mother passed away and that her children have the right to know where they came from. This unknown woman contacted my sister on facebook and asked if she knew my uncle and my cousin. She then mentioned their wives names, and their children's names. My sister seemed fairly convinced and this unknown woman has said that both my uncle and cousin have spoken to he...

I go to church with this girl i met online. I met her a year ago. We dont really hang out that much. But when i go to church with her and her boyfriend, she doesnt really talk to me. She talks to her boyfriend a lot. I feel like a third wheel. And also today while we were being seated in church, i sat beside her to let her be in the middle and her and her boyfriend started laughing secretly like they didnt want me to sit there. Like they had planned it beforehand. I dont feel good when im with them. I was actually crying so much in church just because i felt lonely and my life circumstances and neither one of them noticed. Tl;dr: dont know if i should continue to be friends with this girl. Submitted June 15, 2019 at 11:58PM I go to church with this girl i met online. I met her a year ago.

I gotta say, I tried. I fucking tried. I believed in the myth of love concurs all. I took responsibility for myself and my actions and in the end, dear god help me, all of my hard work showed me that I married a man who is a narcissist. The instant I start talking about anything remotely personal, he interrupts and shuts me down. If I get my courage up and ask him to participate in our relationship differently, he turns the conversation around until it’s about how I need to change. If I find something, anything, that isn’t sitting on the couch next to him, he makes fun of it until I stop doing it. He finds reasons why he thinks my friends suck and lists them. If I take classes, he suddenly wants to have a ‘date night’ when I have class - no other time - just right then. We watch what he wants to watch, if I leave the room to watch something else, eventually he will come find me and start talking through whatever show/movie I’m involved in watching. He deliberately tells me the ending...

My gf (F26) and I (M29) broke up, she just got sober (1 month) and we weren’t really texting or talking or seeing each other since she went into recovery. The communication had dwindled in the month or so before she finally got sober and I had asked her when she initially decided to do this if maybe we should take a break and she said no. Two weeks ago I brought up to her that I wasn’t happy w the lack of communication and I felt like I was being pushed away and basically didn’t feel like I was being pushed away after making efforts to be involved in her recovery and go to meetings with her (I only went to one) so she broke up w me. She said she cared about me and didn’t want to keep hurting me (this was over the phone) and was like “we can talk in person more in like a week but I feel like I thought I could keep both a relationship and my recovery together” it’s been 2 weeks. I haven’t tried to contact her because I feel I should give her space, but idk what to do now. Am I just supp...

I (24f) moved in with my bf (22m) a couple weeks ago, and I think the stress of the move has put me on edge and made me super impatient and prone to losing my temper a bit. I’m introverted and have (well, appear to have) endless patience with my friends and where I work. I’m very quiet and don’t like confrontation. A lot of people would say I’m easy going. I’ve been with my bf for more than 6 years, and it seems that I take out a lot of stress and frustration on him. He’s the person I’m most comfortable around, so he kind of gets the most of my emotions. Sometimes it means me being super happy, and sometimes when I’m having a bad day something small he does sets me off. Ex. I left him a list of small chores before I left for work that he had all day to do, and when I came home 8 hours later nothing was done. This was a small issue but it soured my mood and caused a big fight that could have been solved by communication. After arguing about it we got to the end point that I’m very int...

I go to church with this girl that i met on the internet a year ago. This is my third time going to church with her. When we go to church, she brings her boyfriend. She barely talks to me. I honestly feel like a third wheel. We never hang out really as friends. Like if i want her to help me take the bus for the first time, she will. If I want her to take me job hunting, she will. If i ask her to go somewhere with me she will. But she never makes plans with me. And when were in church today, when we were finding our seats, i sat beside her so that she could be in the middle and her boyfriend and her starting laughing like they didnt want me to sit there. I just feel kinda lonely when I'm with them. And i feel like she doesn't put enough effort into showing she actually cares. Tl; dr: I don't know if I should continue to be friends with this girl.

Hi, Sorry if this is gonna be a bit rambely and unstructured im just writing as it comes to mind ​ Im 16 and i have a crush on a girl in my school (btw this is gonna sound like sth straight out of Highschool musical or some shit). We have known each other for the last 1.5 years now and i kind of always liked her but she was just another person i talked to 2-3 times a week. In the last 2 months i have suddenly developed feelings for her and they just kill me. We have become pretty good friends and we even watched alladin along with 2 other people (i know doesn't sound like a lot but hey its a beginning) and watched her dance on local events (shes in a dancing group). We are not best friends by any means but it's still a friendship. ​ So yeah i would love to tell her that i really like her/have a crush on her (this will come up later) but im just a bit worried about it. The (to my knowlede) last guy that was into her was my friend. He even told her that he had a crush on he...

Hello reddit, I found myself in a really compromising situation today and I really need advice on how to handle it. So basically I was at a friends house drinking beer and such, when I decided to open up tinder and get some swiping action going on, you know the usual stuff. All of a sudden, I stumble upon a profile which is 100% my best friend's girlfriend. Now, she's using an alias so I figured it may be one of those catfish situations, but some close friends and I have long had suspicions of her participating in extracurricular activities, so I decided to do some research. We looked at the pictures on tinder and cross referenced them with her other social media profiles, only to find that only one of the pictures were on her other profiles. This seems to indicate that it has to be her who is using this tinder account. We are all pretty convinced that she's fucking around, but none of us know how to approach our friend over the whole ordeal. He's the kind of guy w...

We've lived together the whole time, have a wonderful year old dog we raised from eight weeks, and things are otherwise great. We have hit rough spots and always come out alright, but he says that he has "never thought about our future." At first, he'd claim that it was because we fought a lot. We'd fight if I drank too much. I've stopped overdoing it, and our fights have decreased to nothing. We're both childfree, and he has zero desire to marry. I'm on the fence about it. Otherwise we're 100% on the same page about important deal breaking factors, like religion, politics, etc. I feel as though he doesn't want to plan for a future with me because he is waiting for something better, but it breaks my heart, because when I ask him about our future (if he's excited about it or where he sees us) he responds with, "I don't know" or "I just don't think about it." I've given him the opportunity to leave, and he...

I (20 F) was recently asked out by a friend (21 F) after spending a day together hanging out platonically. I don’t really feel up to romance at this point in my life as I’m working through a lot of mental health issues, college and the stress that comes with it, emotional/mental abuse from a parent, and trust issues that have gotten worse the past 1-2 years. Because I’m a fool I said yes and am now panicking. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings but I’m worried if I don’t recant now this could get worse than if I just say “sorry, no” now. For further context, we tried to date before and I didn’t feel anything romantic for her, which makes me feel even more guilty now. How should I deal with this appropriately? I want to do the least amount of emotional harm to her as possible, she’s a really great person and friend. I’ve lost a lot of really close friendships in the past few years so I’m desperate to keep those I still have happy and I’m afraid that desire to please is why I said yes so...

For this story I going to include the fact the everyone I'm talking about here is Jewish. I only bring it up because the young adult Jewish community where I live isn't huge, and Jews tend to talk and gossip a lot (I'm sure other groups have similar dynamics). ​ So 2 years ago I matched and when on a date with this girl R. We had a nice time and a couple days later I texted her to ask her out on a second date, to which she said she'd let me know and never followed up. No big deal, I got over it and moved. Then last year we end up running into each other again, both still single. She acts super flirty around me, and so I see if she wants to go out again. She does. Over dinner the topic of what happened after date 1 that no date 2 followed. It basically comes out that she wanted me to pursue her harder when asking for the second date the first time around. After dinner we go back to my place for some after dinner fun but some last minute work comes up and we end up pau...

I have been with my girlfriend for now around 3 months, after 1 week of knowing her we just got to be together and it was just natural, i am really in love with her .. it’s not only physical attraction it’s wanting to protect her, make her happy, make her forget anything that worries her, offer her gifts , looking at her, her smile , being close to her .... my question is does she feel the same way about me? She tells me she loves me a lot maybe i’ m an asshole for doubting it maybe it’s because she tells it a lot it has lost its meaning i don’t know, i know it sounds really bad and mean but i can’t help it.. i’ m afraid she is with me just to say she has a boyfriend .. i love her so much i never stop thinking about her i wish i could be sure she loved me back as much. I hope i’ m stupid for thinking that. Has anyone felt the same way?

I'm an asexual myself, and I think it's nice that we're getting some representation, but are we really LGBTQ? I have nothing against anyone, I'm just confused. June 16, 2019 at 12:14AM

This is exactly the situation I'm in. I recently came out to her, and I'm worried that's the reason. I hope you and your best friend get through this rough patch. June 16, 2019 at 12:04AM

Ok so I work with a girl that I find attractive. She's fairly new, just been here a couple months. When we work together we have a blast. It's like non stop laughter. She will periodically touch my arm, sometimes my back, all the normal clues that I normally would have no trouble interpreting. Where I get mixed up is she's always telling me about other guys that hit on her but makes fun of them when she does. Also she has an ex from her old town that is constantly messaging her. She always talks down about him to me as well. But today she said he was coming to visit her, that he said he'd pay for everything so she had agreed. So now I'm really stuck. To top it off we're both going to a concert on the 22nd that was her idea but that happened before the ex thing. Plus the ex is coming after the concert, which was when I had planned on making a move if things went well. Now I don't know what to think. Advice? Submitted June 15, 2019 at 11:35PM Ok so I wo...

Long story short, I think need to break up with my girlfriend, but the thought of how bad it might hurt her is really weighing on me. We've been officially dating for about a month, but have been seeing each other and hooking up for about three. I love spending time with her; however, I don't think i'm emotionally ready to be in the relationship, for personal reasons. She has already told me she loves me. I did not say it back because I told her I wasn't ready to say that yet. She was totally alright with it, but I still felt like a jerk for not being in the same place as her emotionally. She is currently camping right now with an Ex boyfriend and two other friends. I'm not the jealous type, but this hurt me a lot, and I have been having doubts about the relationship already, so i'm considering ending it when she gets back. I do love her as a person and want nothing more than for her to be as happy as possible, so the thought of how she might react is killing...

I have just entered a new relationship and everything has been going great. She and I are compatible in just about every aspect of a relationship including sex life. However, I'm unsure about how to let her know about my kinks, particularly CNC because well, it's CNC. It's a touchy and taboo subject that many people will react very negatively towards.

I was jerking off and I came and I'm a minor and it was my first ever cum so i don't know if that has anything to do with it but I know that cum is supposed to look white, but mine was clear and I guess you could see some faint white in it. I'm a boy and I don't know why that's happening.

I don’t understand. It seems so strange. Why would sex remind you of your dad? Is it Freudian or something?? . Submitted June 15, 2019 at 11:56PM I don’t understand. It seems so strange. Why would sex remind you of your dad? Is it Freudian or something?? .
