My friend lashed out at me because I told her I don't like her boyfriend. Now I'm wondering if keeping our frindship is worth it. TL;DR My friend said some things about me I don't know if I can forgive so I'm thinking about ending the relationship. Oh boy this is a long one but here we go. 3 weeks ago me (19 f) and my 2 friends (both 19 f) where drinking together with the plan of going to a bar later. We all have a good time, order a taxi and get to a bar where we meet up with some other girls and a guy friend of mine. We start to play beer pong together when my friends boyfriend(20 years old) shows up. He joins us and everything is fine. Our group kinda splits up after the game and I end up talking to my girlfriends bf alone. (Lets call my girlfriend Kim) Kim and her boyfriend recently got back together after he broke up with her because of some personal issues and told her he wasn't capable of having a gf at the time. He kept texting her, calling her, telling

And it was that... he dumped me. I consider myself a pretty self-aware, confident, sensitive individual. I think I have a fair grasp on reality and although I've been hurt in the past, I don't think I've ever been blindsided. Ouch. It has really been a different type of pain. We only dated for 6 months. I hate that I'm this torn up about it, but things got serious very quickly because we knew each other previously and there was... a lot more at stake than if it was a stranger. I feel confident saying he set the pace for the relationship very early on (saying 'I love you' first, inviting me to meet his parents first, telling me he wanted longevity with me and that he certainly saw a future together), which is why this bushwhack of a break-up has been so difficult to process. And, you know, the part where I was genuinely wild about him. We had a lovely relationship. We couldn't keep our hands off each other, we cooked dinner together almost every night, we

Anniversary with gf[26F] is on the day of the thesis dissertation of sister[35F]. I have been with gf for 5+years, living together for 2. Our "being together" anniversary is coming up, and we consider it to be an important day. We don't usually do crazy things for our anniversary, but we care about passing it together. Things have not been perfect between us over the last few months, which I think makes the occasion even more important. My sister lives in another country, my home country. She is having her thesis dissertation on the day of my gf&I anniversary. My sister has been through a lot lately, and I think that having all her family there would mean a lot to her. And in general, living in different countries, we don't see each other often. I feel like missing the anniversary would make my gf sad, whatever good reason there is for doing it. Some other issues we have lately make the situation more delicate. On the other hand, missing my sister celebration

Ive been in a relationship with my boyfriend for five years and live with each other now. The relationship started off great. He was there for me for many big events where I needed support such as grad school, and both of my parents falling ill. He really gets along with my family and its clear he cares. However, the past year hasn’t been easy and I feel like our relationship has plateaued. We’ve been fighting a lot and I think its because of the distance between us. Since living together, he considers doing groceries or chores “hanging out”. He hasnt planned date nights or anything that constitutes as quality time for a while now and hes okay with that. His rationale is that we see each other every day. This is exasperated by his regular guy nights. God forbid anything gets in the way of that. I think its fine that couples shouldnt do everything together. In fact thats how it should be. But when Ive brought up the fact that weve been distant he says 1) were always together anyways

I grew up in the evangelical Christian purity culture. I thought I just rocked at purity, and all my friends who couldn’t keep their vows or always struggled with so called sinful sexual thoughts were just not as filled with Jesus as I was. Fast forward through lots of religious and sexual abuse and trauma, and I consider myself an Ace now. And an atheist. I don’t know if being so awesome at purity while I was growing up was a sign of me being Ace. I certainly never struggled with sexual thoughts or desires. However, I spent my teenage years pouring over every purity book I could get my hands on. I was just so great at staying pure for Jesus. Lol. I’m an atheist now, deconstructing my faith, but I really believe this is who I am. However, I may never know... what if I hadn’t actively worked to suppress everything from the time i was 12? Who knows. December 04, 2019 at 12:47AM

I'm proud of you, friend. And I'm proud you went back for your PS4 controller. It deserves to be with you. December 04, 2019 at 12:41AM

i know your intentions are good here, but as an ace with a libido, i think it’s important to note that this post specifically describes their attraction to other people (via things they find attractive i.e. collarbone and a bit of ankle lmao) which is something completely different than just having a sex drive. imo it’s an important distinction! :) December 04, 2019 at 12:40AM

I'm so glad you figured it out for yourself before marrying that dude. Lesson learned! Don't ignore your feelings, always take them under consideration. December 04, 2019 at 12:34AM

Well, that 's a good question, I completely forgot about that. I'd say lemon. I think the flavor fits the theme and would be persuaded easily by food dye. December 04, 2019 at 12:25AM

I am in college and had a class with a girl my age. She laughed the hardest at stuff I say, smiles a lot at me and to stuff I say. She said hi when she saw me ask what's up. We had to do peer reviews and she came to my table sat next to me at my table. She sat between me and a woman Im friends with, talked to her she said something, smiled at me and looked deep into my eyes and didn't stop smiling and it felt awkward, if I didn't break the eye contact she probably would've continued. She was making forced eye contact and scratching her head while resting her head on her hand. One day I sat down waiting for class and sat with a woman I give a lot of attention to in class and she came in for class walked over and started waiting very close to me, hovering over standing in my personal space, she walked right in front of me and started getting close to me and I could smell her but she had her back to me. This was the closest she's been to me. There was a whole room not

Are there any stay at home wives without kids who would like to share their daily routines and how this decision came about? Submitted December 03, 2019 at 11:57PM Are there any stay at home wives without kids who would like to share their daily routines and how this decision came about?

Same happened to me December 04, 2019 at 12:23AM

im pretty sure that's called proculsexual, where you feel sexual attraction to things you know you don't have a chance with (celebrities, fictional characters, etc.) December 04, 2019 at 12:17AM

That made me so happy, thank you for sharing- December 04, 2019 at 12:16AM

You sound like a wonderful person and a great friend for taking the initiative to learn so you could understand your friend better. We all really appreciate your effort and support! December 04, 2019 at 12:16AM

I think, as others have noted, that a lot of it comes from growing up around ideas and expectations that are very anti-asexual, that take it as a given that everyone will have sex, likely sooner rather than later. I'm a 30 something sex-repulsed aro ace person, and growing up was in many ways terrible, because you think there's no one out there even remotely like you. It's not just your personal experience not matching up to the norm. It's that you're so outside such a ubiquitous, pervasive norm that it's like you don't even exist. Also, the idea of growing up and being a *gasp* virgin as an adult was such an anathema I couldn't even bear thinking about it. This is not to belittle anyone who wants to have sex (for whatever the reason) whether they're ace or not, or to diminish how ace people who have higher libidos and/or who have sex have struggled with their own identities. It's just.. I get that a lot of people need to find a community whe

Here is the situation: Was dating a guy for about 4 months. He had me under the impression we were exclusively dating each other come to find out he was on every dating app out there. I knew he needed things to move at a slower pace but he wasn’t transparent with me about his intentions and ultimately things blew up. I have given him chance after chance to be honest and just say he doesn’t want a relationship with me. He has not. He still to this day will keep tabs on me. He always comes back. Months have passed and he has messaged mutual girlfriends I know on hinge each time declaring he wants nothing more than a long term relationship. However when he was presented with one he neither respected it or could be honest to say it was just me. Why do people feel the need to string people along. Especially for MONTHS? Or Why can’t people be transparent and say I’m not ready, I still want to play in the dating pool? I know what I need to do but I still can’t wrap my head around some

This made me really happy when I scrolled through my feed, love you too! Wish more people could be like you, the world would be a much better place. ❤ December 04, 2019 at 12:05AM

As awful as it is, I have never received this kind of response to asexuality. My LGBT friends don’t think we belong in their community, and many people don’t believe in asexuality as a whole. People always ask me “who hurt you so bad you became asexual?” and it pisses me off. So I thank you for learning more and even posting about your care. You are the best of us.

There’s AceApp, but it’s not terribly active or populated. I don’t know of any others. December 04, 2019 at 12:00AM

I consider myself a sex-positive ace I'm sure we can all agree that sex is pretty disgusting, I'm not sure you understand what sex-positivity is December 03, 2019 at 11:50PM

It is and I'm happy to see that even people who are not concerned still researches about it 💜 You are an amazing human, wish you the best December 03, 2019 at 11:47PM
