Hi, I'm a 17 year old hetero-ace girl. I'm in a relationship (and have been for over a year) and would be happy to talk about any experiences with coming out, intimacy, and how we're getting our relationship to work December 27, 2019 at 12:18AM

Does anybody else get really upset when you have disagreements with your partner?

I'm (gently) crying rn, I just love this person so much and hate fighting with them. I want everything to always be perfect. It just makes me sad.

I hate myself but I love myself when I’m with you

I hate who I am, what I look like and the way I act. But when I’m with you I feel like a better version of Myself. I don’t feel as disgusting when I’m with you. You make me feel so incredible and right now I feel like I don’t deserve it; you are the best thing that has ever happened to me I love you so much.

I’m gonna marry him

Ok I’m (f23) just so in love with my bf (m31) and I have to get it out of my system. We’ve only been dating for about 1 and 1/2 years, but I feel like I’ve known him my whole life. I used to hate being cheesy and overly romantic, but he has turned me into a complete mush. I love him more than I’ve loved anyone, he is my home, no matter where we are. He’s talked about proposing next year and I’m so ready. Being engaged is not even something I would have seen for myself anytime soon until I met him. Gahhh he has just changed my entire perception of love and I’ve never been happier.

My first app boyfriend and how it’s different than meeting in real life

I met an awesome guy a couple months ago on Hinge. I’m seriously so happy with him! What I didn’t consider when going on on dates with guys I met online is how different it is getting to know them an in intimate way immediately, compared to past boyfriends who I got to know platonically first then moved into a relationship zone. I want to know so much about him, but we’ve only been dating a couple months, and made it exclusive after about 5 dates. I feel really good about us and where we are going, but I think we’re still on our best behavior in a way since it’s all still new. It’s just so different getting to know someone while already in an exclusive relationship compared to getting to know someone really well then deciding to be in a relationship, which is how my past relationships have worked. Can anyone else relate?? Submitted December 27, 2019 at 12:00AM I met an awesome guy a couple months ago on Hinge. I’m seriously so happy with him! What I didn’t consider when going

How common is it for married couples to keep separate finances?

I’m a saver, my husband is a spender. We’re in our 30s. Neither of us make a lot of money, but we’re [mostly] comfortable. The problem is, he makes more than twice what I do annually. He has had some financial difficulty in the past, which has led us to maintaining separate accounts when we got married 7 years ago, and it’s been that way ever since. We have a system wherein we are each responsible for certain expenses (he pays the mortgage and phones, I pay for groceries and electricity— stuff like that) but our funds are never commingled for any reason. I have tried to gain some insight into his financial wellness so that I can try to get a big-picture look at how we’re doing (such as when we discuss taking on a home improvement project or going on vacation), but whenever I bring up the issue of saving money for something or wanting to know where he stands (is he contributing to a retirement account yet? How much credit card debt does he have, and how hard is he working to pay it do

There’s nothing wrong with my relationship but somethings not right. What do I do???

I’ve (25F) been dating my boyfriend (28M) for just over a year now and I can’t get out of my head. He’s a great guy, really considerate and we’ve never argued (I’ve dated some real winners in the past), but I can’t shake this weird feeling I have about the relationship. We started dating basically by accident, he was a friend of a close friend and there were some things I didn’t love about his lifestyle or like the vibe I guess, and on paper he’s not great but I ignored it because he’s a nice guy and friends, ya know? But a year later I love him so much, I just still have trouble picturing endgame with him when he’ll talk about the future. I don’t know if it’s because sometimes it feels like he doesn’t want to spend time with me, because he doesn’t have his life all the way together (but neither do I), because our sex life is kinda boring, because we don’t have a ton in common or because I’m getting older and looking for problems. I have some serious self esteem issues that I’ve never

Am I (21F) over-reacting by not wanting my mother (43F) in my life?

Throwaway account as some of those close to me know my usual account. Also apologies for formatting as I’m on my mobile. Growing up I’ve (21F) never been close to my mother (43F), let’s call her ‘B’. She always used to pawn me off on my grandmother (67F), who we’ll call ‘W’. B would much prefer to be with her friends and acting as if she didn’t have a child. So in my eyes, W was the only permanent mother figure in my life. B was in a relationship with my father (49M) until I was 7, but then they separated. I continued to have a close relationship with my father afterwards which B tried to sabotage multiple times, but to no avail. B is an extremely selfish person and as long as she gets what she wants, she doesn’t care what happens to anyone else. She had a baby girl 7 years ago with her current partner. But just like with me she would pawn her off on W. B would keep my sister up until 1am as a child just so she could sleep-in the following morning and W would look after my sister fo

I repeatedly offend people around my wife and it got very serious this time.

**TL;DR;** : I very often said things that upset my wife's friends and families. And this recent incident put my wife in tears for days. --- Its an on-going thing with me... and finally my wife broke down last night. I and my wife had been married for 6 years with 2 kids. She is very sociable and loves hanging out with friends whereas I am a bit of an introvert. I went with her to her friends and families once in a while and very often I would make comments that weird people out and make them comfortable (unintentionally). I am aware of this after the fact and had made a point to speak as little as possible and only smile... and it worked... but then I got comfortable and it happened all over again. We met with her friend whose baby is due next month. She told us the baby's name, it sounded like the word that means "possessed by dead spirit" in my language and I made a pun about it. Apparently both her friend and her husband was highly offended by that and asked

My (f25) partners (m27) father (m55) asked for both of us to meet him to apologize after saying nasty and mean comments on Christmas Day.

Me and Nick have been together for 6 years, not living together but I’d say we’re a very strong couple despite some small issues here and there. His parents are very religious, his dad an Anglican Bishop and mother a Chaplin. Christmas is a big deal for the entire family but sadly it has been tainted by my partner’s dad, Mark. Alcohol could’ve been a factor in his attitude but overall, during my visits with their family on Christmas Eve/Day, it has been jabbing/snarky comments left and right. Mark would comment on his wife’s baking and cooking. They had a small argument before taking the cake out of the oven and he would say stuff like “it tastes bitter... if we didn’t have that fight, it wouldn’t leave a bitter taste in my mouth” Other things he’s said like commenting and asking how much I make at work, criticizing the free Community Christmas Dinner I volunteer at and overall being an rude during board games with the family. After realizing everyone was upset after his comments

Sexual messages?

If a girl you like doesn't react well to sexual messages/jokes. Is that a bad sign? Like sexual riddles, puns, questions. Submitted December 26, 2019 at 11:47PM If a girl you like doesn't react well to sexual messages/jokes. Is that a bad sign?Like sexual riddles, puns, questions.

Do you pursue the woman who plans to marry a rich man?

Girl at work, yada yada, same story a thousand times over. Anyway I like her. She's probably the smartest girl I've ever had any kind of a bond with, and I really enjoy making her laugh and spending time with her. I tend to become intensely passionate really quickly and then I get angry and resentful when I don't get my way. I'm trying hard to allow this relationship to develop naturally into whatever it may become. I don't want to put expectations on her or what our relationship should be. She's a single mom and a hard worker. Typical superhero. It's amazing to see her gracefully master all the challenges she faces. But she is fallible (theoretically), as we all are. What drives her is still mysterious to me, and I've become intimidated by what I've begun to suspect it could be. She's mentioned finding a rich husband a couple of times now. A doctor or a lawyer. It's a classic tale. At this point I've become perturbed by it. I guess it

Texting over winter break?

Hey guys, ive been hanging out with this girl at a different uni about 2 times now, we only meet on weekends because of schedules. We text pretty much everyday about our lives, but now our colleges have a one month vacation. I dont think i can hold a conversation for that long without her or me losing interest. How frequent should i be texting, and would it be weird to suddenly not text for a few days after texting everyday for a month?

22M and 22F, girl has been standoffish/pissed off lately and I am not the only one that noticed. How do I talk to her to open up?

Is it ridiculous to delete a girl over her cringe snapchat stories?

Hey so, girl loving girl here. I don’t know if being lesbian really makes a difference here but I thought I should add it in. I messaged a girl on tinder about two weeks ago. She’s very much my type on paper, (I’m feminine, she’s masculine) and much hotter than me so I opened up with a painfully cheesy compliment, fully expecting her to not reply. Surprisingly, she did, and after a while she asks for my number/snapchat. We’ve been messaging/sending videos of us talking for 9 days straight now. I haven’t talked to any other girls since starting to chat to her because, 1) my type is very specific and in my city, most lesbians are also femme which isn’t for me and 2) I’m a terrible multitasker - when I’m talking to a girl, I can’t handle talking to multiple others. However, I couldn’t help noticing straight away that her snapchat stories were plentiful and kind of cringe. I’d already noticed that her Instagram was wall-to-wall selfies, but thought ‘so be it - before I deleted my Insta

Scared of putting myself out there

I’m so scared of dating that I don’t really put myself out there much. I’m fine with friendships but when it comes to finding someone I’m usually attracted to really confident people and If I care about what they think of me, I get really anxious and I am just nervous instead of being myself, how do I get over this? I tend to put so much pressure on myself unconsciously, also irrationally scared of talking to the person, in case I do something wrong. I get attracted to people that show the smallest bit of interest in me and like people that are really immature Submitted December 27, 2019 at 12:10AM I’m so scared of dating that I don’t really put myself out there much.

James dean 2.0 aka dating god help me

I explain shortly, me a 19 Year old Male is having a good time in Vacation, i am currently in a eastern european country, i am originally from here but i moved to switzerland. So, Yesterday i was clubbing with some friends and they were also some girls, after a girl friend which i know TOLD ME "my friend really finds u cute" i answered her with "lets see what the night shows" after i proceded to get drunk as shit, i talked a bit to her and stuff and before i went home i asked her for her instagram, she didnt hesitate and gave it to me directly. But when i in the middle of the night tried to put my arm around her waist she rejected me, but afterwads it was still okay, i guess just too offensive. So, what should the next step be? I am till the 6th of januar here so there is some time. Tbh i think if this leads to something it will be a hookup or something nothing serious, because there is no time, but time will show i guess. I thought about some options text he

I'm [21M] starting to feel like a dog to this girl [21F], is it justified?

Hey, So, this is a long story which I will try to shorten up, otherwise I'd write a testament. Went on a student's exchange, met a girl, felt chemistry, took her home the same day, asked her out, she agreed, we went out (both alone and in a group), we flirted and teased (sexually sometimes) I felt like something was up, tried for another meeting alone, got the meeting, she left me hanging, I got mad, I asked if she had a bf, she said she did, I spilled feelings on her (I had feelings by then and got pissed bc she hid her bf), we agreed to keep talking/meeting, we kept on talking/meeting, everytime we met (even in a group) we had a strong connection and sometimes separated from the group, we kept meeting, kept flirting/teasing, we kept meeting, I was getting confident, asked for a kiss, she said ''no tongue'', I didn't want a pity kiss, spilled feelings again, she said she had ''doubts'' and that it ''might work'', we kept t
