I'll try to keep it as short and sweet as I can. Relationship that moved really quickly, and burned out as fast as it took off (5 months start to finish). Really intense emotions. Grew toxic in the end. We both made mistakes and contributed to the downfall of the relationship. That's how breakups work right? Takes 2 to fail. But she put it all on me and berated me and was honestly really shitty and blamed me for everything. We broke up 4 months ago and last contact was maybe 6 weeks ago. I reached out to her, trying to make peace, I was ready to forgive her and hoping she could me too. Didn't want her back, just wanted to make nice to unload the emotional burden from both of us. Done it before with bad breakups and I prefer it that way. Make peace and don't really talk much after that. Perfect closure. Didn't go that way though. She tore into me and said some really cruel things to me and it honestly made me feel like a monster. Only recently have I been able ...

I trust my boyfriend and I would never go on his phone to spy on his messages or social media but recently he has been very over protective with his phone and it’s making me feel like he has something to hide, if I go on it to change a song for example or take a picture etc he will snatch it out my hand as soon as he sees me on it, he never lets me anywhere near it. When I bring it up he just says I’m overthinking it and he doesn’t care if I go on it but he is acting the opposite- am I being paranoid? We have been together for 3 years and at the start of our relationship I found out he was talking to other girls so maybe that’s why I am feeling paranoid about this, even though I do trust him and know he loves me I thought because of that situation he would understand why I think it’s abit suspicious. TL;DR I have never thought about looking through my boyfriends phone and messages but recently he is being very secretive and not letting me anywhere near it and takes it everywhere with...

When we first met, I knew he'd be the father of my children. We have a lot in common. We love to travel, explore, curious about life, and more importantly... We both love climbing. We recently got engaged and I really thought things couldn't be more perfect. As time went on, it seems like his passion for climbing quickly turned into addiction. Once the honeymoon phase fizzled out, I felt like I got pushed to second place, with his love for climbing in first. He works a M-F job, and comes home only to sleep, eat, shower, with the other hours consumed by his addiciton. He's only happy when he climbs. He hardly has energy for our relationship, or trying something new together. I love the fact that we can both share a hobby, but it's hard to convince him to do anything else because it'll get in the way of his climbing. Trips are strictly for climbing... And he jokes "maybe we can do something non climbing related" TL;DR I like climbing, but he's obses...

Together 2 and a half years. Gross I know, but I picked my nose and my husband yelled at me over it. He got explosively angry with me and stormed off out of our room. We had just gotten in bed to relax after work to watch something on tv and my nose was bothering me so I picked my nose lol. He did a 180 on me. I know it wasn’t considerate of me because we were both in bed at that point but the way he yelled at me was completely unwarranted and mean. He stormed out of our room and came back to our doorway to yell at me. I was entirely calm throughout the whole thing and apologized yet asked him to stop yelling 2-3 times. I told him his reaction was mean but he didn’t acknowledge it. Not ten minutes earlier he was joking around with me and asked me to smell his balls before he showered? And when I brought that up he said it was different because we’ve joked about it before. We’ve joked about picking noses before too. He selectively thinks it’s gross on his terms, but I didn’t say tha...

Thanks in advance for any input and/or advice, ill try to keep it short. I started dating my boyfriend a few months ago, well aware that he had a child. (Normally I dont date anyone with a child but I made an exception as I am getting older) I was perfectly fine with the idea of slowly being introduced into a childs life... During the time that my boyfriend and I have been together, the mother of his child (we will call her Tammy for story purposes) has been locked away in rehab and is getting ready to be released soon. Tammy's parents have full custody over the child and so he lives with them, and they frequently visit Tammy in rehab.. Once word got around and back to Tammy that I was now in the picture, not only did she prohibit him from seeing him son anymore, she started with the threats of "I dont want that b*** around my kid, youll never see your kid if youre with her, etc etc." And basically guilt tripping my boyfriend into the fact that, as long as he is datin...

Hi, i’m new here so forgive me if the post seems a bit rough! I work as a consultant to various other companies and one of those hired two seniors from another country in January. I work more with one but I occasionally also meet with the other, whom I found very charming since the beginning and who started becoming quite flirty. He asked me out in April and since then we have been dating. He hasn’t got plans to be serious and he goes back to his country on a regular every two week ends, but who knows, step by step we might take it further. However, two weeks ago he was showing me pictures of his week end home from his gallery and I noticed him getting a bit uncomfortable the more he would scroll - until he half opened a screen shot of an Instagram portrait of a very beautiful girl. He tried to hide it but I scrolled to open it. He was very uncomfortable and said “she’s not supposed to be here”, deleted it and explained that it was one of his friend who sent the pic in a WhatsApp gr...
