About 3 months ago I (21M) moved across the country and my then girlfriend (21F) and I never really talked about us we just left it open ended kinda like we'll see how things go. We were only dating for about 2-3 months at the time and didn't really know what to do. Since then we've talked every single day and I'm going down to see her soon. I'm thinking of asking her to date long distance, but I don't know when we'd be able to live near each other again. I'm moving again within a year, and it may be as close as 20 minutes from her, or may be 10 states over it just depends on where the place I get offered is. Can anyone who's tried long distance give me advice? TLDR: I really like this girl, but I don't know if we'll be able to make it work because of distance.

I’ve been single for the last year. I broke up with my ex, and it was definitely the right decision. This past year, I have not gone in any dates, and I’ve been set up with numerous people, but came up with excuses to not go out with them. I joined apps and got matches, but never got any further than basic chatting. Again, they wanted my number or a date, but I was too scared. I really would love to meet someone. Someone I can cook and clean for. Someone to take on adventures, to go to Comic-Con with. To talk with all night. And to eat all the foods. I don’t know what’s stopping me. Maybe I’m scared, maybe I don’t think I’m good enough...I felt I’ve never been treated the way I deserve. It’s just rough out there, and here I am crying alone in my apartment. Sorry for the vent.

So about 8 months ago I went on Tinder and met this cute girl. You know how it goes, got her number, got to talking and got to know each other. She’s 23 and I’m 26. We both agreed to keeping it casual as neither of us was ready for any committed relationship. For the last 8 months we’ve been seeing each other, we became very close but agreed to keep the terms of non-commitment. Throughout these 8 months we’ve argued atleast 3 times about how she felt worried that we were getting too close. I assured her that she can see other people, I’ve been doing it. We spoke every single day, I knew about her life. When the fights happened I asked her if she wanted to end this casual set up, I asked if I make her happy, she said I do and we continued forward. Around 2 weeks ago her work colleague was murdered. Despite the fact that they weren’t close, this affected her badly. She’s mentioned that she feels fucked up mentally and she’s not sure how she feels anymore. I suggested talking to people...

So this is a very complicated story. I've known this girl since the beginning of high school, and we became close friends. We would always spend time with each other by going to museums, watching movies, and going to Disneyland together. Over time I began to have feelings for her, and I confessed to her over a text. She never responded, and we didn't talk for a while. Over a few months, she would hit me back up and said that she missed me and wanted to rekindle our friendship. We did, and we got closer than ever before. Last summer, we would hang out all the time, and those feelings for her came back. We go to different universities, and we would try to communicate, and we would make sure to see each other whenever we had the opportunity. She would call me things like "baby boy" and always tell me she would miss me. We would go to an amusement park, and she would put her arm around mine and lay her head on my shoulder. Then one day, she messaged me suggesting that I ...

So, my dad (M51) got divorced from my mom when I was around 9. I was a very naive kid so I didn't get it, but from my brother's reaction I knew I was supposed to be upset (he was around 11, he burst out crying). All I really understood was that they were going to live in separate houses. Not even a year later, starts dating my step-mother, who we'll call Trixie. He dated her on and off through high school and they broke things off in college. I was around 10 or 11 when they started dating, and not even another year later, they get engaged. So they dated for about nine or so months. She lived in Dallas, TX and we lived in Birmingham, AL so it was a long distance relationship until she moved in with us when I was 12. As I got older, I started feeling kind of weird about how quickly he got with her and how quickly they got engaged. It didn't really effect my interactions with her though, so I didn't really think about it. Cut to when I'm 12, he starts getting p...

I fell in love when I was 20 with a wonderful man that I spent 15 years of my life with but we didn't make it. I've been single since (8 years). I've had plenty (lots) of partners / lovers / boyfriends since but none that I've felt have been special. A few weeks ago I had a "moment" with a friend of mine that brought me back to that feeling of falling in love. It was magical. My friend however is married. I have not seen him since and am not planning to but the whole experience has really thrown me. I know that I will be judged here as he is in a relationship but it was the first time since I fell for my ex more than 20 years ago that I really felt that spark and connection with someone and I'm really hurting that it's something that I can't follow through on or investigate to see if it has substance. I'm not sure what advice on looking for but has anyone experienced something similar. I feel like I've been searching for years to feel that...

I (34F) met this guy (45M) via online dating. We’ve been on two dates so far. Practically every day he texts me with details about what he did that day, what he’s doing now, or what he’s going to do, and how he feels about ALL of it. He does say “How are you?” eventually, but he gives me all this detail about his life and feelings totally unsolicited. In my dating experience, when you’ve only known someone a very short time, you don’t do this. You keep things light and simple. Texts should be straight and to the point, like, “Hey, want to get together on Friday?” To me, he’s acting like we’re already in a relationship, and it’s feeling suffocating to me. TLDR: Two dates and he’s texting me too frequently and with too much detail Submitted June 27, 2019 at 12:04AM I (34F) met this guy (45M) via online dating. We’ve been on two dates so far.

Basically I wound up in a crappy situation (see post history for more info) where I'm going to be unable to work for five weeks, nowhere to live, about $150 to my name and my boyfriend's family is very kindly taking me in for that time. My boyfriend is extremely, wonderfully supportive of me in every way. We have a fantastic, healthy relationship and I'm really bad at trusting people but I try my hardest to let myself trust him. My mom has had a series of terrible, toxic, abusive marriages through my childhood. I clearly remember many lectures she has given me about keeping finances separate and never, under any circumstances, allowing yourself to be financially dependent on a significant other. I know, logically, my boyfriend and his family are not going to use money to control and manipulate me (like my own family does to me...that's part of why I'm in this situation). My mom is pretty upset that I'm moving in with his family instead of living at home but I ...

[We’ve been dating for about 5 months btw] I’m talking going to real extremes like one side is wanting to die if he doesn’t text back soon enough (no kidding, I’ve ODed twice, I didn’t tell him obvi I’m not an asshole), loving everything about him, thinking he’s perfect, my entire world. Then randomly the next day I think he’s an asshole and that it’s not going to last anyway so I distance myself and think of what I’ll do once I’m single, don’t care if I never talk to him again. Ok before you tell me I’m a shitty person, I never tell him all that because that’s just manipulative. And I would never cheat on him cause it’s just wrong. But like it or not that’s how I feel and idk how to deal with it because I can’t control it. I know I’m a teenager and things are more intense but this shit is not normal and I feel crazy idk who to talk to I know some of you might tell me that I have to talk to him about it but I don’t want to hurt him. It’s not his fault and there’s nothing he can do a...

Okay so a little history: my siblings and I (the oldest) come from a very abusive home, we were removed and placed with family members and Group homes. and I’ve always felt like I had to take care of them. We all have ptsd and bipolar etc. Dad is not in the picture, mom tries to be but she kind of sucks. My sister (19f) we will call her B, had been living with my grandmother but she didn’t like it so she moved in with her boyfriend and his mom. I live with my fiancé and our son (1). B tells me how uncomfortable she is living with her boyfriend and his mother, how she feels unwelcome, etcetera. My fiancé and I talk it over and offer her our 3rd bedroom, rent free, we buy her a bed and everything. Well B has a way of embellishing things: Since she moved in a few months ago, she will spend weeks at a time staying at her boyfriends house and essentially uses my house as a place to shower and a storage unit. It makes me upset because how uncomfortable could she of felt there if she’s al...

I posted some months ago about catching my GF of 11 years and my best friend of 20 years having an affair. It was a really hard couple of months to say the least. I don't consider myself to be an insecure or jealous person but this really threw me through the ringer. Things gradually improved, blah blah blah. Until Friday... I felt...weird. So I left a voice recorder turned on on my desk before I went out of town for Friday night. I felt absolutely terrible about doing this. I felt that it was compromising the trust that had been rebuilt over the last half year. Even when I got home the following day I considered just deleting the recording. Curiosity got the better of me, and I scrubbed through it yesterday. Low and behold, they fucked right after I got off the phone with her to say good night, I love you, etc. What a fucking a joke. ​ tl;dr: Long time GF and Best friend are still banging it out any time I leave the house, I'm just done.

My boyfriend (M17) and I (F17) have been dating for almost 2 years and at first it was great. Lately he’s been getting extremely possessive and he’s starting to scare me. He won’t let me have male friends or even snap guys. Recently I hung out with an old friend (18M) who just broke up with his girlfriend because we were super good friends and we just kinda lost touch. My boyfriend FLIPPED at this. He started calling my friend my boo and telling me to choose. This is literally the only male friend I’ve had in forever because I haven’t been able to talk to guys without him there. He complains that I’m not “fun” anymore because I don’t go out to parties but he’s the one who made me stop. I cant even look at an attractive guy online without him questioning me. I finally tried to break up with him but he ended up cutting my name into his stomach and threatening to kill himself. He said I made him this way because I made him stop talking to his ex because he was sending her texts asking if...

Please don't make memes implying that liking multiple genders is better than or superior to liking only the same gender. I get that this is for fun, but that's really homophobic. June 27, 2019 at 12:10AM

I second Bojack Horseman, it's probably the most mainstream ace representation out there that I know of! I also loved Shimanami Tasogare although the story itself was short but I enjoyed the diversity of characters in it a lot. And Riverdale did Jughead so dirty but at least the Archie comics exist. To add: "Boo! It's Sex" on Webtoons -- it's basically a sex ed comic- super helpful and nice!!! there's an ace character and the comic also explores dealing with confusion about asexuality from a partner. "All About Lust" manhwa -- asexuality is definitely not a main focus at all, as you can see by the title. the main plotlines have frequent explicit sex scenes so it may or may not be your cup of tea but the (gay) relationships explored were super super wholesome. and a side character is confirmed ace in the story and it was definitely positive although a small moment.

So this story is about me and my 2 breakup's with my now Ex-Girlfriend. The date is 11th of April 2019, I've just gotten in an argument with my girlfriend, this was the last straw for my long lasting patience. I'd had to put up with my Girlfriends rubbish for 3 months before we ended up finish with each other, It all started when she started to talk to her ex-boyfriend about me and her and our "issues" and asked for solutions. I found out that this was happening after forgetting to call her because I had family round, I messaged her saying "Hey baby, I'm back sorry for taking so long", she tried to make go back to talk to my family. I knew something was up... I asked a friend of hers, she said that she had been talking to her ex for about 1 week now, and when I logged in on her account ( she gave me her details by the way, and I gave her mine) I saw all the messages, she was enjoying talking to him more than me, she was pushing me away just to tal...

I’ve been with my wife for 28 years, married 22. We are high school sweethearts and she is my everything. Our sex life is fantastic and I really can’t see myself in any other situation. That being said, I find myself wanting to be desirable to other women. I workout and try my best to stay in shape and my wife is amazing, I’m positive that other guys are jealous that I get to do the things I get to do to her. I guess what I’m saying is I want other women to be jealous of her. I know that comes across as vain, but I want to have that feeling of other people desiring me. Is that weird, or do others feel that too? Just wondering. FYI- my wife and I are both 44. Submitted June 26, 2019 at 11:37PM I’ve been with my wife for 28 years, married 22.

My wife (38F) and I (31M) have been married a handful of years, together just under a decade, but I feel like I don't know her at all. We met at work, both ambitious, made each other laugh, became friends.. you know the rest. Our relationship began as most do. Lots of fun, lots of sex, lots of excitement. She brought out things in me I never knew existed. She showed me new places, new food, new experiences. It was amazing. I was head over heels, completely in love and the feeling was mutual. Later, I proposed, she said yes. Pause here: I knew that she was a cancer survivor when we met. Not at all surprised, she was the strongest woman I had ever known. She came from a terrible background, suffered physical and sexual abuse, left an unfaithful drug-addict of a first husband, raised her son on her own, entered a noble and mostly male dominated profession, conquered many mountains. Continue: During our engagement her cancer returned. She had to undergo multiple surgeries/treatments,...
