I've been dating someone for a month off of Bumble. It's going well, but has a very likely end date in sight. He's moving in a year. I'm done of my work contract here next June and am moving anyway (destination unknown), but I think it's easiest to assume it will be short term (he's moving to a Spanish-speaking city and I'm a novice in the language). There are two things I want to talk about with him, and I don't know if they should be separate conversations. The first is monogamy and sex. We've been having sex consistently, it's great, but I'd like to know if he's been tested recently. I prefer monogamous sexual relationships and not sure if that's what he's looking for. And, honestly, I hate condoms so if we've both been tested then I'd like to forgo them. There's more to this conversation, but let's just assume I have the sexual safety part itself covered, it's just how/when to bring it up compared to the ...

I guess I am in a bit of a sticky situation. So as the title suggests, she stormed off on me leaving me by myself instead of discussing our issue that we were having. My best friend is leaving to go study at uni a few hours away and so she wanted to have a leaving dinner with all of her close friends. She basically asked me to go and I flat out refused because one of the girls who is going used to be a very close friend of mine & we had a massive falling out and haven’t reconciled since. I haven’t seen her since that fight. If I go, not only will it cause awkward tension between us and everyone around but my best friend will try to make us make amends (as she has attempted to before). This is something I am simply not ready for as this friend hurt me deeply. On top of that, I do not know any of her other friends & we simply do not vibe well adding to the tension which will basically put me into anxiety overdrive. She knows I am a person who would never willingly put myself in...

So I’m 17 turning 18 in 2 weeks and I just graduated high school. One of the teachers I had who is 24 is a good friend of my mother as they attend the same church.(I don’t go to church due to having to work every Sunday at 12.) They have gotten to know each other really well and my teacher has even been over to our house a few times. Due to my teacher knowing my mother personally it was almost impossible for me to slack off on my work as my mother would know not even an hour after the class dismissed. But recently my mother has been saying things like we would make a good couple, and that my teacher needs a man like me to take care of her. At first I thought she was joking but as she keeps saying this more and more i feel like she is serious. Due to me just recently graduating there isn’t really anything wrong with us dating. It wouldn’t be illegal or anything like that, but thinking about dating my recent teacher is weird. There is I dislike about her either, in fact I think she is...

There is a guy that I (30F)am casually dating, and one day I found out that he is regularly making mutual followers who are girls.(2-3 girls in one day) I think we are getting close (planning a trip to abroad together, have seen each other’s friends) but if he is just fooling me around I don’t want to continue... And I have histories of being cheated, so I don’t expect an honest answer from guys (I know it sounds bad ans sad but I am heartbroken by this ) so here I am writing this stupid question here. I only have an account but know nothing about Instagram so I want to ask with explaining the situation TL;DR! Situstion : He has an open account with some posts but without hashtags Many girls accounts are private and does not even have many posts, so you can’t really tell if she is pretty or not They are mutual followers I’ve seen Tinder was his recent use app when we were checking sth with his phone. Question : On the Instagram with a situation like this, how can...

Me [23]and my girl have been together for just shy of 6 years. I love her so much. When we first met she was way too open about sexual activity with her past blokes and i told her i didnt like it and definitely didnt want to hear about it. Well one day she asks if i know a particular name from the local area to which i said yes, i mentioned how this guy used to make my life hell along with his mates when we were back at school. This guy is a couple years older but the typical cocky bully full of himself and what not. The guy even threw a rock at my head which hit me in the eye which after numerous hospital visits where i had a huge chance of going blind from. Well she then turns and says yeah well i fucked him, he has a pretty big cock aswell to be fair. By this point i was stunned. I felt disgusted. I barely spoke for the rest of the night. Well fast forward to about a month ago she mentions his name again. I pretend she hasnt already told me the ordeal as i thought she was doing i...

English is my first language, I just suck at it. Our marital counsellor that we see to keep being awesome said our relationship is fine. My Dad(40s) is insisting I(20) break my no contact with his mother (super old) because it makes her upset. This got brought up when I told my dad I was moving back home with my husband (32) to start college. My dad’s mother happens to be on the route we have to take. I do not have a good relationship with my dad’s mother. I am no contact because she’s condescending to me and my mom (40s) when ever she gets the chance. She insults me whenever I talk to her. In the 3 years I’ve been on my own I have never given her my phone number or address because she’s terrible and doesn’t like me because I’m my moms child. Great example of who she is, she gave my dad the title of his classic car she gifted him when he was 17 when my parents divorce was finalised like 8 years ago. The issue is my dad will not take no, we have four cats and there’s no place to go...

Me and my friend joe have been good friends for about a year now. We’re pretty close. I come to him for things, and the same goes with him. We’ve also been working together for a year. But this past weekend we got a little close and I don’t know how I should handle it. So Sunday night we had a few drinks at work after our one year anniversary party. I was pretty sauced up so I asked to go home with him. Which is normal by the way, I crash on his couch sometimes. Anyways this night was different, because I ended up in his bed. We only snuggled and kissed. No sex. Even though I guess it did come close to it, we both knew it wasn’t a good idea. So we basically just cuddled until the next day. I woke up, we talked about it, how it wasn’t going to be weird, then I left. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t weird, still isn’t, but I did end up in his bed again last night. Same situation just not as drunk. Again we didn’t have sex, but I’m starting to get some feelings for him and I’m scared. And...

So, I posted a more finance-focused form of this question in /r/personalfinance , but a Redditor suggested I might be looking for relationship advice, and they're right on that account, too. I'm looking for advice on both fronts, I guess! I did post something similar on the divorce subreddit, but was met with mostly, "Just move out" sort of posts. They weren't helpful, because I am not in a financial position to do so--I will not make myself financially uneasy just for the sake of a space of my own. I have decent relationships with my parents, so I don't need to move out. It is a desire to, but not while I do not have much in the way of savings or career prospects, even with a degree. But I digress. Basically, I recently graduated from a college in-state, and lived at home for the last year of it. Not happy with it, struggling to figure out what career I really want, all that fun jazz. I absolutely love to travel, and I absolutely want to get out of Ariz...

So, I'll start off with some background. I have been with my boyfriend for 7.5 years. I truly believe I am a very lucky woman to have him in my life - he is for sure my best friend, and the person I could picture being next to me on the old front porch in a rocking chair at 90 years old. He is kind to others and to me, he is loyal. We have similar values, goals and agree on all the major topics (e.g. religion, parenting choices, etc). He makes me laugh, he is my biggest supporter, we have gone through highs and lows and everything in between. He truly feels like home to me. In the past, we had lived together for two years while I finished my Masters degree. No complaints there, everything was great! Last year, I finished that degree and we had to live separately for awhile (both stayed with our parents) until we found a home to purchase. We'd often do back and forth nights at each other's homes. So, it's safe to say we were pretty excited to find a home in June, which...

Hi! First time posting here, I (M23) have been in a serious relationship (F21) for 3 years. We have been living together for 2 years while at University. About a month ago we moved into a different place for her intern year and I graduated. For the first few weeks everything was fine, we unpacked, went shopping and tried to keep everything in motion (at this point I did not know my final result from University). Our relationship had some bumps along the way, either because I didn't do anything but play when she studied or because of other impulses. And throughout the time spent together I said I will change but she needs to change some aspects as I was not the only one faulty here. Once we moved in the other place is where I planned on changing the most (lifestyle, workplace and general attitude). She secured a job at the biggest company in the world, so i was morally supporting her everyday. I would get up at 5am each day to prepare her lunch, and sometimes iron her clothes whil...

I (16M) went to a summer camp this past week and I met a wonderful girl (16). We got along great, she hung out with me most of the time, and we enjoyed each other’s company. We have many common interests too; Music, movies, etc. We’ve been texting for a few days and she’s given enough hints to show that she likes me too. She lives about 30 minutes away, and I’m worried about what will happen, because this girl is of my dreams and I’m lonely/looking for a relationship. Should I tell her I like her? Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I should do? Thanks, any advice would suffice.

Reddit, I need your help. A little background about myself. I'm a 20 year old guy, in college, with no desire to "stay single and have fun." I'm ready for commitment....again. I was in about a 2 year long relationship, that ended almost exactly 2 years ago. I have since gone on a few dates here an there, but have not been interested in anyone at all, until about a month and a half ago. I was doing an internship at a hospital when I met a girl that worked there. I started talking to her more, and we just kinda clicked. Then my internship was ending, and I decided to ask her out, which she said yes to. A few days later we had breakfast and we clicked even more. It was scary at how easy it was connecting with her. I thanked her for coming to breakfast with me and told we had to do it again when I got back in a few weeks, she agreed. (I had to go back home to finish up a few things before school starts back up.) So we continued to talk those next few weeks, and let me ...

I am pretty sure you are mad at me. You have very right to be. I messed up. I know I did. It was a mistake, I didnt mean for you to get hurt. I wasnt thinking. It's my fault. I feel terrible. I'm sorry. I feel so bad... I am upset. I am crying. All I want to do is be in your arms, which is the ironic part. I love you. I hope you can forgive me cuz I cant live without you. Crying myself to bed tonight and trying not to break my 4 month sobriety I hope is enough time for you to forgive me. The best thing that ever happened to me... guess I had to screw that up too.

What do you do to distract yourself? I work full time, about to start a college class, hang out with friends, read, write, watch TV.. He was the first guy I was actually in love with. We still talk and there’s a small possibility of getting back together, but I don’t want to keep my hopes up. I want him officially and just want to see him and hang out like old times. It’s only been two weeks and it really sucks. Fuck love 🙄 Submitted August 08, 2019 at 12:00AM What do you do to distract yourself?

I am always searching for forums, apps, or any kind of post that might pertain to me — of course hoping it would be from you. But I haven’t found anything, so that should give me a sign, right? I’m starting to feel like a hopeless romantic who over-analyzed things. I wonder if you think about me, like I think about you. Is it just a girl thing or do boys get caught up in a connection too? Do you get excited? Do you get carried away? You swept me off my feet so much that I pretty much used any excuse to go the local hang-out, and just see you. I would get so dolled up, and you’d compliment me — but I still never felt cute enough. Not that you made me feel that way, just my own insecurities. I was afraid that maybe I was reading the situation wrong, and you were just trying to be nice. And honestly, once I found out about your allergy I was worried that it wouldn’t work because I fucking love peanut butter. However, it still hasn’t stopped the constant thoughts about you. Over all, ...

I want someone to love me, undeniably. I want to love someone with all my heart, unconditionally. I have so much love I want to give, I'd give it to anyone at this point, but only the right person. I'm growing impatient. Increasingly difficult to keeps these feelings deep down right now. The thought of someone loving me is a satisfying feeling, a feeling that makes me feel all safe and happy inside. A feeling I can't quite describe.

You might be a gullible son of a squid, but you're not entirely wrong. I've definitely heard of some research that suggests attraction can be affected by both chemicals found in sweat and hormonal birth control. August 08, 2019 at 12:08AM
