I'm going to start this off saying I hate the way I am, I find it insufferable. I get it, jealousy can make me an asshole, but I want to change that, which is why I'm here. ​ B will be Best Friend and M will just be me, just to keep it simple. We're both the same age (late teens), and we're both at the same stage in our lives. We've known eachother for about a year and a half, I'm Male, B is Female. ​ Now that the formalities(?) are out of the way, I'll get to it. I've known B for about a year and a half. We've been really close friends for about 70% of that time, no issues whatsoever between the two of us since we've met, and I hope to keep it that way. The only issue I have, is how jealous I get. Partway through our friendship I started to get really attached, and whenever she spoke to a friend other than me, I'd get jealous by it. Of course, I would never mention this, even in my head I would never take this out on her. That's b...

So i'm the dumbest man on earth, I made a huge mistake. I had a perfect relationship with my girlfriend then for whatever reason. While traveling abroad I received oral sex from a prostitute (protected). It wasn't something I was really seeking. A colleague brought us to bar, and they offered to take us in the back room. I went along with it for some reason thinking it would be more like a lap-dance type thing and it for some reason I just let it happen. I stopped her before it was over. I really don't know what I was thinking but clearly not through the consequences, or about my lovely girlfriend. This was the biggest mistake i've made in my entire life. I went back to my hotel, had a panic attack, didn't really sleep for several days after. I knew there was no way I could live with the thought, so as soon as I could in person I told my girlfriend about it. She was clearly very upset, but we talked about trying to get through it. We parted ways for a bit but afte...

To give some context, I (23F) met my boyfriend (24M) while I was living in New York and he was living in Utah. We started off long distance and kept it going for two long years until I quit Wall Street and accepted a new job back in Utah which is where I’m from originally. Now that we are both living in the same city (happens to be less than a five minute drive apart!), it almost feels like we are still in a long distance relationship much of the time. He still prefers to talk on the phone rather than catch up in person most evenings. We still enjoy watching tv shows together, but he typically prefers to do so over the phone where he is in his house and I am in mine and then we just press play at the same time (super annoying at times!) - just like how it was when I was living in New York. To add another annoying layer to this, he isn’t allowed to spend the night at my place due to his parents’ preferences (he still lives at home), and I am not allowed to spend the night at his plac...

Hi Reddit, English isn't my first language, so please excuse me if there are any mistakes. First of all, my mom isn't controlling at all. Honestly, she's my best friend and she always gives me the best advice. But right now I'm really confused and scared. I don't know what to do. My current situation is that I recently got admitted to university. I'll be studying abroad for at least 3 years, so that means I'll have to be in a LDR. My bf and I have been dating for a little bit over one year. He's my first boyfriend. He's honestly the best boyfriend I could ask for. He's kind, gentle, understanding, thoughtful... He makes me feel so loved and I love him too. I really want to make this work, but my mom thinks it's a bad idea for the following reasons: - It's important that I enjoy my first year in uni without any ties to worry about. She says spending all of my time in my room talking to him on the phone while other students are buildin...

I apologize if this is poor formatting, and I apologize if my thoughts are a bit scattered, I don’t post that often. So I have been in a Friends with benefits type deal for around 2 months, and we have been friends for around 6 months. We’ve always had great chemistry and always seemed to be on the same page... A couple weeks back we had the ”establishment talk”, where we discussed what are intentions with this relationship was. She (21F) had said that she thought of us as friends with benefits, and we could fuck other people if we came across the opportunity so long as we told each other about it. The backstory to this was we had both mentioned that we had really only been in formal relationships for the past couple of years, and felt there was always an immense amount of pressure on both parties when talks of commitment came about. She has tried FWB in the past but had said that they have either ended badly due to lack of communication, or feelings came about for one person, but n...

As per title, I (30M) am in a fairly new relationship with my girlfriend (30F). Last night after I left her place I had one of those moments of truth, where I had to confront the fact that I just don't feel that spark and connection between us to take things further. The problem is that she is so kind, caring and considerate . The whole time we've been together we've barely argued (I know it's still early but with previous gf's there's at least been a disagreement of sorts by that stage). I don't know how to break up with her without destroying her self esteem or leaving her with a toxic view of future relationships (her last long term BF cheated on her). It'd be a lot easier if she wasn't so nice all the time to be honest. I can tell she's become attached so I doubt it's going to be easy relatively speaking , but what's the best way to let her down gently ? TL;DR - don't feel connection with gf, want to break up with her. She...

I recently (Friday) broke up with my girlfriend of one year. We initially found each other on the subreddit make friends here, where I made a post and she replied. We had no idea we went to the same university or lived in the same city. When we talked and found out more about each other, we both felt a natural attraction. It wasn't long before we wanted to meet each other and started hanging out, which took place around late 2017. ​ This was the first real relationship for both of us, but for the most part things went smoothly. We enjoyed each others company, loved, supported and trusted each other, and had fun. Over the time we were together, it was essentially me who was making the sexual aspect of our relationship develop. She was really insecure about herself, and had no experience doing anything with anyone. I tried to be patient and took things slowly, but I pushed too hard sometimes. It was my first time doing anything with a partner, and I know I have a high libido. She ...
