A friend(M) confided in me(F) about his dying relationship. The situation is as follows: My friend and his girl get together, and she later finds out through her aunt that her cousin likes my friend. Friend tells me that was her reason for breaking up with him. When he came to me, i told him they could simply go on if cousin hadn't come out to the girl to say it directly. He followed through with my advice and they get back for a few weeks or so. His girl talks to the aunt again, and her conscience suddenly gets to her again? She says what they're doing is wrong. I wanted to suggest the girl talk to her cousin about the guy directly but she doesn't seem willing to. The girl and i aren't really friends like that so i can't talk to her directly. Plus, it's not my friend's place to talk to the cousin. Is she really that considerate? Or is she just looking for reasons to break it off with him? What should i tell him? TLDR; My friend's gf is on and off with...

Am I being insensitive if I broke up with gf because she has anxiety? Both 30 F This is a very new relationship (2ish months) and things had been seemingly going well until they weren’t. She started to have anxiety during sex and I’d try to be understanding and comfort her. Things would end there, rightly so, I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable. But then it’d happen a few other times as well. She says it’s from past experiences and I’m not doing anything to cause her to feel anxious. Then I feel like she’s more invested than me and is talking future plans way in advance and I voiced my feelings about things going too fast. That caused her to become anxious because she thought I would have a different opinion of her after. I’ve been trying to be understanding of her situation but I’m not sure I can see myself wanting to deal with this if we were to continue. I feel like a selfish AH for having these thoughts. Is it selfish to break things off? Submitted August 27, 2023 at 12:04...

So here's my situation on August 4th I started talking to this girl we hit it off right away. Late night calls all day text there was a real connection and vibe. She told me and her best friend she really liked me. She came all the way almost 45 mins too come watch a horror movie with me she has never seen. We had even planned a second date too get a room and finish watching the rest of the movies. Plans fell through well I started college back on the 14th and after that she started getting distant. She didn't post on Facebook for a few days or post on Snap and she's barely talking to me or anyone said she's had alot mentally going on. Am I looking too much into this or do you think it's a ghost. FYI me and her are only 1 month apart and we both have a son from previous relationships. Just need advice specifically from females DM for more info Submitted August 27, 2023 at 12:04AM So here's my situation on August 4th I started talking to this girl we hit i...

So I [29M] recently had drinks with a woman [27], that I used to work with. I like her but I'm not sure where she stands with me, and not really sure what do next. But first I need to bring up the back story. When we worked together we kinda had this Jim and Pam thing from season 1 of the office. We both would flirt with each other but then kinda of give of confusing signals because work frowned on office romance. Honestly some of the stuff could have been considered sexual harassment if it was in a different context. I'll never forget this one time she walked past me in the hallway, put one hand on my shoulder one on my back and slid her hand down my arm and glanced at me longingly before walking away. Anyways, around that time I was leaving that job for another job, we went and grabbed drinks after work, twice. The last time she had a little bit too much to drink, demanded that I hug her before we leave and matter of factly told me we HAD to stay in touch after I left. We...

Boyfriend wants to be friends with a recent ex Started dating a guy soon after he broke up with his ex. We were friends first and he knew I had feelings for him. They were on again and off again and seems like couldn’t get a long. They broke up a month ago. We have told each other I love you and have been comfortable. Last night he reached out to his ex to hang out as friends. I said okay because I trust him. However she still has feelings for him and he says he loves her but only as a friend. She also is very attractive as I have seen pictures. I am a confident woman but am a little nervous about this situation. I also noticed he texted her this morning “I forgot how hot you are, as a friend a compliment is warranted when the occasion arises”. He didn’t think it was a big deal as he said he is with me and not her. He also said she was respectful and didn’t try anything but that he just enjoys her company as she is very smart and they have good conversations. Meaning they make better...
