My girlfriend [21/F] is banned from my house and she's upset with me [22/M] over it.

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about 3 months and we're both admittedly still in the honeymoon phase. We're crazy for each other right now and she's all that's on my mind right now. That said, I think she is starting to have in effect on my job. I work physical labor at a construction site and there are times when I'm not focused on my work because I'm thinking of my girlfriend. I admit to not being on my A-game at work lately, but it recently reached a point where my boss actually contacted my parents and told them about my poor performance and how they should do what they can to get me back on track. I was extra pissed off that my boss would actually do something like that, as if he were a fucking school teacher and that's lead to the conflict. My parents talked things over and they know that I'm head-over-heels for my girlfriend right now. My dad ultimately came up to me and decided that my girlfriend is banned from coming over to our hou...

Would I be an asshole if I ask a girl out when she already has a boyfriend? [24m, 24f]

I was gonna post this in r/AITA but I see they have a 'no relationship' related post so I was hoping I would be accepted here. I don't wanna write the whole thing again so I will kind of post it in the same format. ​ TL;DR Let me make the scene as simple as possible: Girl (my coworker, actually) already has boyfriend for 6 year. I like this girl. We're on friendly terms. I want to ask her to be my girlfriend. She not broken up with the previous boyfriend. Big dilemma. ​ When we first went to grab lunch together during our lunch break we had a nice chance to have an uninterrupted introductory talk. We got around to talking about our relationships. She said she has a boyfriend from high school. She's never really been out of a relationship. The current one lasted 6 years. He asked her out and she's stuck around since, but according to her she tells him every now and then that she wants to break up. I told her personality-wise I was the opposite. Never been i...

Anyone able to give me advice regarding a “friendship”

I’m 23 and so is she, we haven’t spoken in around 2 months. I made the effort on a couple of occasions I’ve just returned from my holiday and I was wondering if it’s worth reaching out or not Previously we had a disagreement last summer she text saying I wasn’t an attentive mate and I didn’t really do much in the way of replying, which at that time was pretty difficult considering the situations I was going through I then explained my dad was involved in an accident and I went into depression. We met up spoke about stuff I thought it was fine, but I’m at a point where I really do not know where I stand now as we haven’t spoke in 2 months Anyone have any advice on whether it’s worth reaching out here? She hasn’t really made any effort to text me at all, and a part of me feels like it takes 2 to try to make a convo TLDR; in a confusing place about what to do Submitted July 12, 2019 at 10:07PM I’m 23 and so is she, we haven’t spoken in around 2 months.

Does fear really push away honesty?

TL;DR at bottom Mobile apologies I (33M) recently found out from friends of a girl(28) I had been with for 9 months or so that she had been cheating for quite some time during the relationship. Our kids had a great relationship with each other, I treated her daughter(7) as my own. I tried to help as much as possible when my gf got sick (genetic clotting?) Me and my kids showed up unannounced to bring her some get well stuff and she answered the door in a panic and her daughter attempted to come outside and was hurriedly shoved back towards her room. That night stood out and she claimed she had some weed out and didnt want the kids to see. Her friends let me know it was actually a guy in house with her and her daughter. My kids were confused by her muttering and the door being closed in our face. She still came around a lot and apologized to my kids, and always was so nice to them. Eventually I felt something was wrong and she didn't want to date anymore but she was adamant we ...

I fucked up and hurt my back badly doing something parents (37F & 39F) told me not to do. How to make things right

I fucked yesterday with my friend. We did something in my new house I was told not to do and I hurt my back. We're idiots I know we are. Theres no medical bill because the government takes care of it and my back isn't broken but it's very sore. My mom and my step mom were both furious at me and my friend. They told my friend to go home and yelled at me on the way home from the hospital. My step mom told me that I have no idea how badly I scared them both initilly. TL;DR: It's morning and how do I make things right when wake up because they're super pissed. Submitted July 12, 2019 at 10:11PM I fucked yesterday with my friend.

My boyfriend (28m) seems to think I'm lazy (24f) since my job is less crazy demanding than his

I have a pretty cushy job in tech research &prototyping, I'll be the first to admit that. I work 35 hours a week, no more, and have total freedom to set my hours, as long as I am there for my meetings, and get my work done. I get full-time benefits and healthcare despite that. I get paid well too. I've paid off my student loans and have set aside a pretty good amount of money to start my retirement fund. And I've got enough income on top of that to have some fun too. I enjoy the work I do, it's really interesting and cutting edge. And I get along well with my coworkers, we go out bar hopping once or twice a month. My boss is great, he's really supportive of everyone's personal development, and helping everyone who works for him get involved in projects that fit their interests and help them develop skills they want to learn. Despite all that, it's still a job, it takes work and commitment and motivation. I don't see myself as a slacker. I worked...

What do I (22F)do when a friend (21M) doesn't want to hang out?

hi throwaway because well...anxiety. I have a friend i met last semester and i've invited him to hang out a few times, but he keeps saying that he's busy and fair enough. I brush it off and we just keep talking like normal. But im not gonna lie, it's getting super discouraging because I really like this guy. I know that he's really socially awkward so i'm thinking that's part of him saying no, as well as the busy stuff but like... i still don't know what to do? I don't wanna push any boundaries. Part of me wants to invite him one last time and see if he accepts or says he's busy again... if he doesn't I'm considering asking him if he like wants me to just stop asking or if i'm bothering him and he just doesn't want to hang out, which i know is the most probable answer... tl;dr I wanna hang out with my friend but i'm anxious because he never accepts my invites because he's busy and i dunno how I should go about this.

My boyfriend’s [26M] therapist thinks he’s a sociopath, should I [26 F] keep putting in effort to try to make it work?

I’ve been seeing my SO on and off for about a year and a half. I try really hard to make my friends and family like him and only say good things about him so that my people don’t worry about me/me being with him. But everyone in my life whose met him strongly dislikes him and thinks there’s something very wrong with him. I love (almost) all of his friends, and they have become good friends of mine. But he tells me all the time that his friends and family all hate me. And every time he tells me that I say to him that it makes me feel bad and that I don’t want to think about the people in his life “hating” me. Yet he continues to do it with seemingly no regard for my feelings. And when I’ve asked him why they feel that way about me (this includes people I’ve never even met) he says it’s because they all think I’m a liar. But I’ve always been as honest, upfront and as transparent as possible with him. I do not lie to him. He told me that he will convince the people in his life to like m...

How to stop obsessing over guy I've been dating for over 3 months and not even exclusive?

I (28F) met a guy (30M) on Tinder over 3 months ago. Things were great, even though we're both busy, live an hour away and he's in law school. Initially, I told him how I like my own space a lot. So we text once a day and meet once a week. I haven't met his friends but mine seem to like him. Over the past month, things were a little stressful due to my own work and the fact that he went on holiday for 2 weeks without mentioning exclusivity. We had started sleeping without a condom (I'm taking BC) but I naively thought that would be a subtle hint towards him being exclusive. Whilst he was away, he did text here and there but I couldn't help but wonder if he was meeting other women in the romantic sense. He's back but has a major exam in a few days, so I didn't want to mention anything just yet. When we text, even though its everyday, we talk about everything except for our feelings for each other. At this point, I don't even know if he misses me, saw...

Am I [f25] being selfish?

So I [f25] go to the gym 2 hours per day 6 days per week. It's the only thing I do for me. I love it. It makes me feel better. Anyway, my bf [m29] works A LOT. like 12-20 hours per day 6-7 days per week. So he actually got a day off but I still went to the gym, like normal, and my parents are calling me selfish. 1. He slept basically all day 2. He doesnt really care either way But...I feel like he agrees with them. And he doesnt have to work much tomorrow, but I still want to go to the gym. Am I being selfish? I always take off Sunday because he usually has Sunday off. We always make that our day. I see their point, that he gets one day off and I'm gone for 2 hours. But IT WAS 2 HOURS!

I (26M) am in an odd not-so-casual relationship(?) with my partner (29F) and I'm having anxiety about cutting it off

Been seeing each other since March, and things started as just casual, but grew to be a bit more than that. Not a "relationship" as far as having a title goes, but we both expressed that there was interest more than just physically pretty early on. We have a pretty odd dynamic where we only talk and see each other every week or every other week, and that works fine for us. That's not the problem. When we spend time together, things are great all around! We mesh well together in a lot of ways, But I feel that I am not getting the romantic attachment that I need and want from a relationship. I don't get the impetus to be talking regularly, and that doesn't sit very well with me. All in all things are fine but only just. As far as I gather, most all the other partners shes had have been pretty toxic or abusive, and she's very vocal about this being the most positive and wholesome relationship she's ever had. I actively try to be a good partner and to not...

I (f22) broke up with my long term boyfriend (m23) after I discovered his comment under a post on r/gonewild

When we first started dating (2 years ago) we talked about porn and we both agreed that we were comfortable with it. After about a year, my feelings changed and I shared that with him and he agreed and said he felt the same after I’ve said something. I had the impression that we were on the same page after that. A year and some months go by and we have to do long distance (we see each other every 2-3 months and have a great time when we do). Since we have to do long distance, we FaceTime almost every night to talk and we send each other tons of sexy pics/videos. Yesterday morning I discovered he had posted a comment under a girls post. The post was a sob story on why she hasn’t been posting lately and she asked people to comment their user names if they want to be invited into her private subreddit. The problem is not even 10 minutes after he posted that comment I had sent him a fun video of myself to get him off since I knew he was just waking up for work. That means he saw my vide...

My bf[22M] is sure about wanting kids, and I'm[22F] deeply conflicted

Hi all, I need some help. I've been with my boyfriend for 8 months now, and it is wonderful. I've never been so happy in a relationship before, and I love him a lot. Everything is great except for one problem, the question of kids. We both made it clear to each other we can see our relationship going a long way, and he established that he most definitely wants kids in the far future, and not having them would be a deal breaker. I appreciate his honesty, but I am conflicted. On one hand, I have no experience with children whatsoever. I didn't grow up around them, never showed interest in them before, it just wasn't a thing. I have no concept of what it's like to have kids and I didn't think about it at all. I said really don't know if I want kids or not, and he said in a polite way that he would have to end the relationship if I didn't want them, as it would only get more painful as we went into the relationship. I agree with him, I don't want to p...

Am I in the wrong for getting uncomfortable when another girl hugged my boyfriend?

FYI, I may be 16(F), but I've been taking this relationship seriously ever since we started, and I have no doubt that I do love him. (He is 17) But what I do not love, is myself, which leads to me being way more insecure about myself than anything else. Now to the actual story. This happened yesterday, and I have not even been able to sleep because of it, that's how much it bothers me. We were both helping his mother at selling her handmade earrings ect. at an event held in our small city. It was mostly a really nice day spent with nice people, until at the point when we were packing up, this girl I've never seen who is apparently in his class comes up and starts talking to him, which makes him stop talking to me at all. I didn't mind it much at first, but I certainly started getting uncomfortable when he just turned his back to me and continued chatting with her. I just stood there looking at the ground because I felt so left out of it all. What made me choke back te...

Etiquette for talking to someone at the Gym

(21m) Im a college student and work basically a full time job. I rarely am able to “go out” more than 1 time a week, and my only real public social environment is the Gym. Could anyone offer me some advice on how to approach girls while at the gym. I just feel like it’s kind of an awkward place to start a conversation with someone I’ve never talked to before.

Why do people start acting shady after engaging in "physical" activity?

As the title says. I don't understand why men make it such a big deal after "hooking up" with someon, especially when there was communication about not ghosting after said activity? Asking to act like an adult is just too much to expect I guess. Submitted July 12, 2019 at 11:36PM As the title says.

Am I [21M] just overthinking? Should I give her [22F] the benefit of the doubt?

So long story short, I met a girl [22F] on Interpals a few days ago. She actually messaged me first because she liked something I mentioned in my profile. We are both from the US but she is studying abroad in Bulgaria currently. Anyway, we were talking for a couple hours and then we started talking on Whatsapp. Conversation went on for a little bit then we said good night and she went to bed. Anyway, I send her a message on the website because she was on there at the time and not Whatsapp. So we keep talking for a couple more days. Sometimes we'll be in the middle of a conversation and she'll fall asleep and read my message and respond the next day. By then, things had already escalated in so far as that we had explicitly expressed romantic interest in each other. Yesterday, we were chatting on Whatsapp and then she didn't open my message but I saw she was still online for a few more hours. Today comes around and she has been on the app and still hasn't read the messag...

Should I [20F] stick around and wait for him [23M] to get over his ex?

Around a month and a half ago, I met this awesome guy. We’re both college students at the same school sticking around campus for the summer, working in the same research lab. I thought he was cute, but never thought anything would happen between us. We talked a bunch at work and got along super well, but he couldn’t be into me... right? Then we matched on tinder. That’s when things started getting interesting— at first we both had a good laugh, but I eventually worked up the courage to ask if he’d be down to grab coffee sometime. We got lunch, saw a movie a couple days later, and ended up back at his place. He asked if I was into him, I flipped the question back at him, and long story short I ended up staying the night. I got introduced to his friends a few days after that. Things were going well! We found out that although we come across as pretty different, we’re similar in a lot of ways. Even got on to the discussion of career goals and discovered we were similar in that regard. ...

Should I (19M) keep having interactions with her (19F) after what occurred?

I met this person over social media due to common friends, I've never met this person before. She interacted with my posts, but i didn't bother to start a conversation via DM. Then one day she DM me then I thought of what could go wrong, if i do something with this girl, I'll be getting out of my comfort zone since all this of interacting with a female was sort of new to me. And so I chatted with her and the conversation flowed, got her number, we flirted and she even sent some photos of herself just to tease. We've talked to each other over the phone a lot and we managed to see each other only three times, the last one being in in Valentine's day. I went to her University (her's was in route of mine) and got to stay with her some time till night fall. It was out of nowhere that I showed up, it sort of surprised her in a good way. I bought her something to show that I care for her and she gave me something back. During that day, she was teasing me that she was ...
