I (24f) have a best friend (34f) who I met through school and I love dearly. I consider her one of my closest friends and we get along great. Out of all her great attributes, one flaw is that she has absolutely no control over her child. She is divorced so only has him 50% of the time. I have been around them on multiple occasions- most of the time we go out for activities or out to eat. Her son is 6 and I’m sorry..... but is a total asshole. He’s not a mean kid by any means but he’s just a total shit who doesn’t listen to anyone. When we go to restaurants he will literally get up and run around, play with his food, yell for the waitress, put his feet on the table, talk to other guests. Whenever this happens my friend just laughs it off. She never disciplines him, she thinks it’s so cute. I’m often left so embarrassed in front of our waiter and the other patrons of the restaurant. When we are out at the park or something he will straight up run away. She says things like “now you see

TL;DR I am in a friends with benefits relationship with someone since Jan 2020, and this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time I've wanted to end things because he really made me upset. But I keep coming back, and the problems seem smaller than the time they emerged. I need to know if this is a toxic relationship that I should leave, or if I'm incredibly and blindly irrational. When I (21f) had a break up at the end of 2019, there was a new employee at the place I worked (22m). I guess I seemed pretty down because he found me on Instagram to DM and ask what was wrong. I am a Christian and had abstained from sex until I met this person. We entered a mutual agreement about being friends, and nothing more, who do engage in sex quite often. There was a discussion earlier on in our engagement where he claimed to want to be more than friends, but later flipped it. I was apathetic about it either way, so I agreed that we could date. But when he said he didn't want a relationship he ment

THROWRA My friend F (20) is dating a guy (23.) he is the manager of a chipotle and for some reason I do not like him but I don’t want to tell her as she has had shitty relationships in the past. Am I right for thinking she could do much better? Here are some reasons I think so. Please tell me if I’m being too judgmental. 1) He gets his dogs (technically his roommates dogs) high on weed because they hot box, and basically asked me why I don’t get my puppy high. He said it’s “the dogs choice” whether they want to leave the room or stay and get high. I can’t begin to fathom how dumb that is. 1) he didn’t get a college education, and my friend and I are seniors in college. I know judging this kind of thing can be in poor taste, but she is planning on moving across the country after graduating to pursue her career while his life goal is to... continue being the manager of chipotle 2) he constantly talks about these really dumb conspiracy theories he believes, like how he does not use

Some background on the 2 year relationship: personality wise she was more active and i was more passive. She always felt like i was not loving her or expressing it the way she needed it and carrying the relationship. I really loved her in my own way and tried everything to please her but couldnt fullfill her needs. Sometimes i even did things only for her without looking at what i want. I am aware of that and i am working a lot on myself recently with becoming more active and confident. Somehow i needed the breakup for that. So we broke up 3 weeks ago. There were highs and lows since then. First we had no contact and i was fine with that and starting to work on myself. Then she reached out to me. We decided to have at least limited contact for university and work related stuff but no more. After a week it felt like it was too much for me (the contact we had was clearly more than necessary and she kinda made me jealous with her posting pictures on social media with other guys and meet

so i'll save this from being too unbearably long but some context is needed, it's a situation that needs some explanation. thanks in advance if you read it all through. i just recently reconnected with my ex-boyfriend after taking some time away from talking and just generally being involved with him in any way. we had a rough break up, he did a lot of fucked up things and i needed to recover from all of it. he made a tinder account (he said it was a joke, but when is it ever really a joke if you're in a committed relationship) and secretly met up with a girl he was talking to on there. he never did anything sexual with her, but he still felt like he wanted to be with her romantically and snuck around to see her because he knew he would have to explain to me how they met and i would find out about his account. i hold to my belief that this is a form of cheating. when i found out that he met her behind everyone's backs is when everything else came out. he told me that

My gf (f24) and I (f24) have been dating for a few months now but know that I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her. When we first started dating she confided in me that she had a very good friend who had taken advantage of her when she was really drunk and vulnerable. I comforted her and assured her that I’m here to support and protect her, recently I noticed on her social media that she has been interacting with this person a lot and she had told me that they are still friends. It makes me deeply uncomfortable that she’s still friends with someone who harmed her in that way. I don’t want to be controlling but It’s really concerning for someone like that to have access to her again. I don’t know how to bring up this conversation and let her know my concerns without coming off as controlling. TL;DR! : Girlfriend is still friends with some who took advantage of her, Im not sure how to address that she should distance herself from said person Submitted May 05, 20

We have been together for almost 4 months now, we meet in college and had a great relationship. We never had any major arguments, we had sex various times and it was great. Quarantine comes and we can't see each other, so I call her every now and then and we message by Whatsapp. About 3 weeks ago her brothers had a lot of homework to do, they are in middle school. My girlfriend's mother tells my girlfriend its her responsibility to help them. She has no free time and apart of her online classes and homeworks, she has to help her brothers. We couldn't talk via cellphone anymore because she ended up late and was tired. We still could talk through whatsapp, it never bothered me we couldn't talk via cellphone because I knew she was occupied. I also start to notice she is getting distant and tell her if anything bad was going on between the two of us. She told me the relationship is not the same since we are not seeing each other anymore and she is living up with stress. Sh

i broke up with my(18,ftm) boyfriend (18,cm) because he made alot of offensive jokes. did i overreact? a few months ago, i kind of got together with this guy. we never really called eachother "boyfriends" that much, but it was kind of just... always implied. anyways, im trans (ftm) pre everything, i voice passed pretty well (cant now because of the vocal damage it would cause if i continued) and i told him about this before we even started "dating." the thing is, before i told him, he didn't even call me a girl and assumed i was a boy with a high voice. but after i told him, he started calling me a girl, would misgender me, call me the "mom" of the friend group, and i ignored it at first, but it really started getting to me. he started to get really mean about surgery and hormones. whenever i mentioned top surgery and testosterone he would literally just say "no youre not/youre not doing that" and pretty much ignore me until i stopped talk

Hi all, ​ Long story short, my husband (31 M) has been inviting his friend over several times a week to work out together - jiu jitsu, specifically. This means that they are literally grappling with each other 3 times a week. I (26 F) have previously had pneumonia and was.... well, am, really uncomfortable with it. He just doesn't understand. He understands how serious the pandemic is, mocks protesters, etc. But he feels that since it is just one friend and they're cleaning the mats before and after, that I am being unreasonable and controlling. In some ways, I guess that's true. However, I also feel some animosity growing on my end because I feel my concerns about my health should be more important than participating in a hobby - an important and healthy one, but obviously non-essential. ​ With that in mind, can you guys offer some perspective? I'm totally willing to accept it if I'm being unreasonable; it's hard to tell in these unprecedented times. Is it

I was there with him through his mom being sick and helped him plan the funeral when she died. I still love him so much but he says he wants to be alone so he can get his life together. He lost his job recently and isn’t working. He has a lot of work to do to settle his moms estate. I have offered to help through everything but he says he wants to do it alone. I am so heartbroken and don’t know what to do. I wish there was a chance that we could get back together but I’m worried this is really the end of our 2 1/2 year relationship. I’m looking for advice from anyone who has been in this situation before. I can’t stop crying. He was such a big part of my life and I truly still love him so much. Tl;dr my boyfriend broke up with me and says it is because he needs to grieve the death of his mom. Is this normal? What should I do?

So I'm struggling with a pretty heavy decision. I would appreciate some of your wisdom, maybe from past experiences, or just logic, which of these pros and cons are significant. Cons Bad Past- Cheated on me, flirted with the girl throughout the relationship, I’m filled with trauma from past I have trust issues towards him as he’s been previously proven unfaithful with regards to female friends. Follows many random women’s Instagram accounts I’m a horrible, controlling, jealous, insecure, volatile and overly emotional person when I’m with him due to the past, which I know I am not ordinarily, and I know it’s not fair on him I’m always thinking cynical or sad thoughts when I’m his partner; I feel insecure about myself Treats his friends and other people as objects or is super flirty with them Pros Apologetic about what he did; working hard to fix every piece of trauma I have Amazing sex; exceptionally comfortable enough to try everything and Great conversational chemistry

Engagement ring or TV..need some help This might be a little long, but I want to provide background. My boyfriend and I (both 30, although I’ll be 31 next month) have been together for 2 years and known each other for 3. A week ago, he asked me to send him the link to the ring I loved so much. It was a full conversation about how much he wanted to marry me and we discussed how to pay for the ring (we live together so we don’t make big purchases without talking to each other). Obviously I was excited, especially because this week I graduate with my RN and it’s also Mother’s Day weekend (I have a 5yo from a previous marriage), so I thought it was finally happening. I don’t bug him about it and have been patiently waiting....so a few days go by and this past weekend he sort of got upset, like crying, because he didn’t feel financing a ring was an option and buying it outright would be possible but would leave our savings with only a few hundred. (The ring is $1500). It was cool, I was

So, this is a bit of a long story, but I'll summarize. Basically I met this girl (Emma) back at the beginning of last year at a party. We hit it off, she tells me several times that she finds me attractive, we kiss and follow each other on social media. I then ask some of my friends in common about her and they tell me she had very recently gone through a break up of a 5 year relationship and is not over the guy, so I decide not to take it further.  Fast forward 6 months after I first met Emma, and she transfers to my major. We start talking again, it seems she is now totally over her ex, and still interested in me. My friends would confirm she was flirting. She would kiss my cheek while I helped her, joke about us getting married recall how we met and call it cute and romantic... Thing is, I never flirted back. Not because I didn't want too, I just couldn't bring myself to do it, I would get flustered and freeze. The most I could do was awkwardly laugh. (I've since b

I (35f) have only experienced a few instances of public sex. He fingerfucked me while driving. I gave him a hand job in the car. We had sex in the woods one time. We had sex in an empty room in an event space, with an event going on outside. I gave him a blowjob in a public parking lot. I found these experiences to be very hot and I wish I could have had more. I also find myself very turned on with the idea of masturbating with the windows drawn or blinds open, knowing that any minute somebody could be watching me from a higher floor level or across the street. Also, I used to have webcam sex with an affair partner while I was in a public restroom, and it was one of the hottest things I’ve ever done. I wanna have more opportunities for some public sexual encounters for me and SO. But, obviously, I don’t want us to get caught. How do you do it? Share your best experiences, too. 😊 Submitted May 04, 2020 at 11:33PM I (35f) have only experienced a few instances of public sex. He

I'm a girl, btw. I've been living with this for the past 5 years, and I'm still unsure what to make of it. When I was 18, I went to visit a 'friend' of mine (or someone I was interested in) at his university. I was thinking about attending the same uni as him, and he offered to show me around, take me to a party, meet some people who went there, etc. Everything was great for the first few hours or so. We hung out with some of his friends, drank, talked, etc. After we left, we began to make out and do oral (which I was fine with at first). When he grabbed a condom, I told him no and he said okay. Then, it hit me. I was way too drunk and stumbling. I kept throwing up all over the place and passed out in his bed. I woke up him rubbing my crotch and I asked him to stop, but he told me "no, I can get you in the mood." I asked him to stop again, then I blacked out again. I woke up hours later with him asleep and my pants around my ankles (I don't think they

I know there’s probably been a bunch of posts about this before, but I actually couldn’t find any. Obviously, during this pandemic I feel like most of us want to start talking to new people, but I’m not sure how to go about it. The difficult parts are that I don’t really post pics, I don’t really know how to open a convo to somebody random online, and even if I do, I don’t know how to flirt in a non cringey way. Lemme know if you’ve had success online and tips for me. Thanks! Submitted May 05, 2020 at 12:02AM I know there’s probably been a bunch of posts about this before, but I actually couldn’t find any.

We tried using a site called twoseven.xyz but I couldn't get it to use my camera (it just wouldn't register the clicks on the "Allow" button) and she never got the invite to my "room".
