I [35f] just found call girl texts my husband [42m] was sending while out of town on work trips. Now we’re at the hospital with his broken arm.

I can’t make this shit up. I found texts on his Apple Watch saying “I’m traveling. Email or text me”.... (maybe has another phone?) and “are you available for the half hour, email or text me”. Seems to me like they’re regulars. I confronted him and he admitted that he’s been sending those texts to “massage girls” but supposedly never ever went through with it, I call bullshit. Those texts were from 3 different weeks while he was in 3 different states. I slapped him, screamed, literally freaked out. I couldn’t stop crying. He eventually began to cry and punched the wall. He broke his fucking arm. I go from devastated wife to suddenly being the caretaker for his arm driving 100 mph down the freeway to get him to the hospital. I am absolutely devastated. I did not expect this. If I divorce him, it will be my second divorce. I thought I could trust him. He travels for business all the time, all my red flags make sense now. I had a five year old son and now I feel like I’m in a crisis. I...

How do I tell my partner to lose weight?

I (20F) have been with my partner (26F) for around 9 months now. When I first met him, he was fit and skinny. However, over these past months, he seems to have gotten comfortable and gained a lot of weight. I told him that he should lose some weight and go to the gym more (as nicely as I can) but he doesn't care/take action. Maybe he'll start going to the gym a little more but then it goes into the same routine of not going. I fear I'll start losing attraction to him, and now that he's "got the girl" he doesn't really care about his appearance anymore. How should I go about this, so he starts taking it seriously? Tl;dr partner gained a lot of weight in a few months. Makes me feel like he doesn't care. Fear that I could lose attraction towards him.

I [35A] lost my non-biological brother [34M]

Backstory: I never had a stable home growing up. I had a variety of caregivers, no one actually seems to actually know all of them, and I am estranged from my biological family due to verbal and physical abuse. In high school, I started to explicitly ask friends whether they could be my family (I'm an only child but got a "sister" and a "brother"). I was staying over at their houses and they represented safety to me. I was blessed with some really kickass friends I know and love to this day. Conditional on my biological family being what it was, I was really lucky. I also had a high school boyfriend. I didn't fare very well when we broke up, even though it wasn't very serious, so I reckoned I had abandonment issues and tried to put up a wall to avoid getting hurt like that again. I knew that I would not be able to handle another relationship disintegrating at that point in time. In undergrad, I started dating a guy when I was 19, he was 18. We were fr...

Self-sabotaging myself

Hello. I wish I could go into large detail but things are rather personalized. In general...I (20F) have pretty severe depression, I take medication and am in counseling. Last spring I met a very nice, handsome and funny man (22) online (long distance) who I like very much. But we are fighting a lot lately and I keep pushing at him to leave me and find another girl. I don't only hurt him, but friends who try to help. Their words never help though. I purposely try to push them away and make them hate me. I blame every single issue on myself and when things get bad, say I deserve to die and that I never deserve to have friends or partners ever again. Many of the fights are because I am very introverted and withdrawn and do not have the energy to socialize and talk often. He is hurt by this and feels unwanted. I have explained my depression but he does not understand. I hate that I am introverted so much. Lately I have questioned if we should break up and got into a fight with him ...

How do I rekindle a long lost friendship

10 months ago, I [17M] did a bunch of stupid shit that ruined my relationship with my best friend [17F]. My junior year was terrible and going into it I was really unhappy with who I was as a person. I decided to change. With my desire for change, I pushed everyone away and tore myself down to the very foundations of my being. I was severely depressed and when my best friend tried to help, I blew up on her, really hurting her feelings. I realized I fucked up, tried to run damage control and made things a lot worse between us, basically nuking our friendship. I haven't spoken to her since November and have had 0 contacts whatsoever with her since February. I really fucking miss her and I feel terrible for the way I treated her. Now that I have every class with her our Senior year, I’m finding it extremely uncomfortable and emotionally exhausting to be around her all the time. I really miss being friends but I don’t know the steps I should take to rekindling our friendship... or a...

/u/TrgdrBurnin8r on Asexuality and mental illness

Wow, it sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate that’s making things feel very complicated. I’m sorry you’re struggling. While I can’t relate to your exact situation, I did just want to say that your sexual orientation absolutely IS valid, no matter what the alternate personalities’ orientations might be, and no matter the reason(s) for your orientation. I know how important it can be to find someone who has been through similar situations, and I’m sorry I’m not that person, but I hope you do find that comfort with someone and I hope my words can at least provide some support :) Good luck with everything!<3 September 03, 2019 at 12:12AM
