I (late 20s) have been in love with a guy (late 20s) since we were children

I have been in love, as far as I know, with a guy since little school. We have kept in touch over the years and had a few meetings but it never amounted to anything until a few months ago when we slept together. He has spent years, messaging me for sex completely randomly and unexpectedly. I have never told him or others about my feelings so he shouldn't know (we don't socialise together). obviously it means a lot to me... But he's just asking for sex on his end . He asked me once after our recent hookup and I said no because he was drunk and it was 3am. My feelings are very very intense and although I won't say how high when he says jump.. I can't shake this gut wrenching feeling. I spent the longest nights listening to music that remind me of him and crying when I was younger, those songs are now skipped. This isn't common as far as I know.. Or is it? What the fuck is going on and how do I stop it. I'm regularly taken and / or getting laid so it's not...

AITA for locking up all of the snacks that I (40F) bought and only allowing my boyfriend (30M) to eat one snack per day?

So, we are quarantined home for 14 days. 3 days ago I went out shopping and bought enough food for a month. I bought a lot of snacks as well as meat and vegetables. I bought 15 boxes of coconut popsicles and my boyfriend has eaten 7 boxes in 3 days. That is a grand total of 42 coconut popsicles since Friday. I put a lock on our refrigerator/freezer and told him that he is cut off. He started crying and promised me that he would eat more frugally and begged for another chance. I told him “no” and he says that I am nothing but an asshole but I don’t think that I am. TLDR: locked up food so boyfriend stops eating it all Submitted March 16, 2020 at 12:03AM So, we are quarantined home for 14 days. 3 days ago I went out shopping and bought enough food for a month.I bought a lot of snacks as well as meat and vegetables.

What should I (21F) do about my awful relationship with my father (46M)?

Content warning for abuse for any who feel like backing out, I guess. Hello everyone, sorry for the bad title and any awkward formatting; I'm posting this from mobile. This is a throwaway account because I don't want to risk the chance of my father or any of my relatives seeing this. This is kind of a really long story but I'll keep it as short as I'm able because honestly I just do not know where to go from here... So some background information: after a series of unfortunate events, myself and my three younger brothers no longer live with my biological parents. My mother was physically and emotionally abusive towards us for years due to some pretty serious drug problems and (deliberately) untreated mental illnesses including but not limited to bipolar, depression, PTSD, and schizophrenia. She was also abusive towards my father. Anyway, after we lost our home (long story) and were homeless for a few months, my parents dumped my siblings and I off at a family friend...

My 18 year old stepdaughter is in a relationship with my 14 year old son and my husband and I aren't on the same page

I have a son 14M, my husband has two daughters 18F and 14F and we have a son together who is 16 months. His oldest daughter (18F) is in a relationship with my son (14M). At first we all thought it was a joke but they seem to be taking this seriously, she kisses on the lips. My husband said it was completely inappropriate and told to stop or he'd kick her out of the house. She said it was only a 4 year age Gap and that he's old enough to decide who he wants to be with, that he could consent to sexual activity if he wanted. Then she was very quick to say that they had no sexual contact. My husband repeated what he said. We came home and I was upset because my son had been left alone with her, my husband said he didn't know I'd left the house and thought I was just upset stairs, he said he yelled he was leaving but should have checked. My son was cuddled up with her and he was rubbing her back. I told my husband and he said he told her she needed to leave by tomorrow mo...

Why can’t we have sex?

I (20F) have been in a relationship with a guy (26M) for 3 months. We have made out, I have given him blowjobs, he has eaten me out, he has fingered me, etc. It is all good. The main thing that is missing is the actual SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. PIV. I have been in two other relationships and our sex life was amazing. We had sex a lot and have never had difficulties with it. The men were also 20+ years older than me so getting into a relationship with someone closer to my age I figured that our sex life would be even better. I was wrong.......we live in the city and since we get along so well we have decided to be roommates bc living in nyc around our age we can’t necessarily have an apartment without roommates. I just moved here three months ago too so I needed someone to live with. We are both really chill and give each other space when needed. We literally sleep in the same bed and he doesn’t try to have sex with me. I have asked him multiple times why. He first said his foreskin was both...

My (33M) wife (30F) keeps promising to play a game with me and then won't

This seems really petty but it's been hurting my feelings. I bought a card game I'm really excited about a few weeks ago. My wife said she'd play it with me, at least try it. She's brought it up on her own a few times, "we can play that game tomorrow", etc. But then whenever I ask, she grumbles or says it's bad timing or backs out some way like that. I keep trying to forget about it, but then she brings up playing again, or I try to approach it after a while. So I get my hopes up, and then when she says no, I get really beaten up inside. It's REALLY stupid how emotional this is making me feel. I told her I'd stop asking about it and that it's totally fine if she just isn't interested. But she says that's not it and wants to play. We're not busy, ever, so it's not that we don't have time. We sit around and watch shows and play our own games and make art and stuff together. How should I handle my dumb emotions over this c...

I (25F) am thinking of breaking up with my BF(25M)

So, i have been on and of with my BF for 9 years, we met when i was 16 and he was 17, long story shorts we broke up and got back together about 3 years ago. I have loved him with all of my heart, u know, to the core. About six months ago he moved in with me, and that is when things took a turn for the worse. Living with him was awful, I basically became his mom, I cooked, cleaned, did the laundry, dishes u get it. But we constantly argue about his weed habit, I just do not want it around me, he assured me that he would stop or at least not be around me when he smokes, but obviously he did not honor it. He treated med terrible, would start a fight all the time just being rude ALL day. He do not have family, his mom passed when he was really young and his white side of the family acts awful. But I am really close to my family, so over the years he has grown closer to my family, to the point where he sees them as his own and they love him too, they do not know about his drugs habit or ...

My (22 F) little brother (15 M) said some homophobic things recently and I don’t know how to approach a conversation with him about it

My little brother and I have never been super close, mostly because of the age gap (7 years) and because neither or us really share any interests. But I've always tried to be encouraging when he approaches me with something because our parents aren't known to be the best when it comes to crisis management, and I want him to feel like he has a better support network than I did when I was his age. Recently he showed me a tiktok that he made, and to be honest I did not understand it. But I wanted to jump on this chance to be supportive, so when I was searching around the screen for something to compliment I noticed that he had tagged it with "theaterisgay." I know this is probably something pretty minor to a lot of people, but I am very not-so-subtly gay, although I haven't said it in as many words to my family yet, and to see him use my sexuality as an insult hurt me. And one of his friends does theater!! What the hell does he think his friend is going to think wh...

My partner (22F) is happy with our relationship and loves me (27M) and I feel the same. However, she has been having intrusive thoughts that tell her to end things. Currently on a "break". Could use some advice on how to proceed

Me and my partner have been dating for about 6 months now. We fell for each other very quickly, and things between us have been great. I absolutely adore her and being around her. Recently, she told me that she loves me, loves being around me, I make her very happy, I'm very supportive and good to her, and that she sees a future with me - but her brain keeps telling her to end things. She says I'm her best friend and wants a life with me, but the more she dates me, the worse she feels because she's worried she will eventually listen to that voice in her head that says "break up" and hurt me. But she also isn't sure if she is just sabotaging something good she has in her life - she's terrified of losing me and everything that comes with our relationship (our friendship, and how close she is with my family). If we broke up.. I'd be pretty heartbroken, and it would be very hard for me to stay in contact and be friends - I tried doing that before with a...

/u/NotAnIcelander on People still don't understand...

I'm sorry for the difficulty you've been having in conveying this to your family. I have also had similar experiences trying to explain my "complex" identity and sexuality to people. It can be so frustrating when people want to interrogate and scrutinize and micro-manage what can be such a personal and vulnerable part of your being. I hope with time and patience, they begin to open their minds a bit more and try to understand who you are. As a fellow biromantic asexual (and vegan!), I support you and who you are 100%.

Ay thank you. Someone previously had told me I don't count because I can feel attracted to people sometimes. So the validation means a lot to me! This is a great community full of some of the best people I've talked to online! March 16, 2020 at 12:18AM

What are some of your biggest turn offs from a potential partner?

I'm just curious as to what people are turned off by from a potential partner. For me, I can't stand it when my date smokes/uses drug and is inactive (wants to stay in majority of the time) Submitted March 16, 2020 at 12:00AM I'm just curious as to what people are turned off by from a potential partner.

What does it feel like to have sex with a stranger?

I (21f) am a virgin, even tho I was in a couple of relationships. I never felt ready. So naturally I am interested in these kinds of topics because I can only imagine the answers. And I get that some things you have to experience them to know how they are bla bla... With that being said my question is what does it feel like to have sex with a stranger. I would like to hear your experience with a little of context, like if u met the stranger after talking on tinder or during a party if you’re a man or a woman. And also how do you decide if that person is the “right” one to have occasional sex with.

UPDATE: I think our age gap is too much (33F) (26M)

After a couple long conversations that drifted towards talk of what’s going on in the world, we decided it was best for us to part ways in the most amicable way possible. Logistically, we are at different point in our lives. She is ready for kids and home and financially, I am not. I think if the younger her met the older me, things would be ideal. I think our age gap is too much (33F)(26M) I (26M) have been dating a (33F) for about three months now. When we first started dating, it was pure and simple fun. Playful conversations, lots of joking around, she took a lot of interest in my interests. She was coming out of a pretty bad relationship and I think that I was more or less a novelty to her. I think she secretly liked the idea of dating a younger guy, and I enjoyed the idea of dating the older women, it was a conquest. When we first got intimate, she like the idea of “showing me a thing or 2” and would remark how she didn’t have the worry about someone my age performing (an issu...

what the f is he looking for??

HELLOOO sooo i have a slight dilemma and I thought i’d ask on here to see if anyone has any advice or insight for me. I’m currently in college, and this past saturday I hooked up with this guy at a bar. We had been like acquaintances for over a year now, didnt really talk much but had lots of mutual friends and said hi when we saw each other. a few days before the bar we had matched on tinder and he hit me up just chatting for a bit and eventually asked me to hang out and smoke and stuff on friday. i got a bit too nervous and ended up never answering, but saturday i ended up seeing him at the bar anyways. we kind of hit it off and i ended up going home w him and yeah you get the idea ANYWAYS. every single day since and up until the day he had to leave bc of the whole corona thing, we hung out, cuddled and did the deed. on one of the days i asked him if he was down to get food before we chilled at his place and he agreed and we went off campus, got food, and he paid for it. then the ni...

Is this guy no longer interested?

We went out on a first date earlier this week and it went well. We were out to dinner for about two hours. He said he had a good time, we texted every day after that but he TOOK forever to respond after that first date earlier this week. He wanted to go for dinner this Sunday (today). I told him possibly but it was never finalized. We didn’t talk yesterday but he requested to video chat yesterday & I denied it. Today is the day he wanted to meet up, I wasn’t going to anyway with the corona virus scare. But, he didn’t initiate plans today. He isn’t interested is he?

I(33F) ended it today, and got no response in return.

Dated this guy(34M) for 5 months. I knew it was dying off back in January, but after a talk in February, I was told by him that our interests were mutual and he wanted to make sure I knew that. Here we are almost exactly a month later and it had only gotten worse. He was only coming over to hang out at night. Going out with friends and not inviting me. Weekends with his kid, he was completely non-existent. I would have hoped our lives were more intermingled at this point and he just continued to keep me at arms length. I ended it by text, even though that's not how I wanted to. But the more I thought about it, I realized he didn't care. Clearly so, as I got no response back. I dont quite feel "better" about it yet, but I think I know it was the right thing. Back to square one.. Submitted March 16, 2020 at 12:06AM Dated this guy(34M) for 5 months.

Where should I go on a date, with the coronavirus shutting everything down?

This will be my 3rd date with someone, providing I didn't screw up the second date. I asked her when we can do this again, and she said we should probably wait till after the coronavirus blows over. I'm not sure if she was serious or just trying to brush me off.... Anyway, our first two dates were at eateries. One was a restaurant and the other one was just a lounge. I'm not sure if she would want to do a dinner date again, so I was trying to think of other things we could do. She picked the first two. I thought I could pick the third. However, the coronavirus is shutting everything down. Most places are going to be closed now. I'm not sure where to take her. Heck, in my state, the Governor has mandated that all restaurants will be closed, and you can only do drive-thru now, for the foreseeable future. I'm nervous she'll eventually lose interest in me, like everybody else. So I guess I'm panicking on where to take her. I'm a loser who still lives with...
