I feel like I (21 F) am on my last leg with boyfriend (27 M). I feel like I’m going crazy

Sorry in advance, this is pretty long. My boyfriend of three years is, objectively, a fantastic dude. He’s nice, smart, funny, and he’s been a positive influence in my life. My problem here is that sometimes he’s just,.. a little inconsiderate. It shouldn’t even be a big deal, honestly, but I can’t knock it from my head. For example, here’s some backstory first. My boyfriend works in an office security setting during the day, it’s a very laid back job, all he does is monitor cameras and occasionally stroll the halls of his office. He has lots of free time so he frequently texts/calls me. It’s no biggie, sometimes, but the other day was a little rough. I do some errands during my morning, calling the bank and grocery shopping and stuff. And I get a phone call from my friend, and she is absolutely losing it, she’s having one of the worst days of her life and I, being her best friend, talk her down and stay on the phone with her for an hour so she isn’t going to do something dangerou...

I [22M] don't want to be friends with my crush [21M] anymore

I've been friends with this guy I met on a dating site for about six months. Since I met him, I've have one of those awful obsessive crushes on him, even though he told me pretty early on that he just wanted to be friends. A few weeks ago he got a boyfriend and hasn't been in contact quite as much and we haven't hung out in person in a couple weeks, so I'm not sure he wants to even be friends either (I've been getting mixed signals so maybe he's just been busy and/or too high to reach out? Hard to tell). Either way, it really hurts to be friends with him and I want to move on. What should I do? I want to stop following his social media and turn down any future offers to hang out so I can let go, but I'm not sure what to say or whether I should say anything at all. Should I be honest and say why I'm unfollowing him or tell him something vague or should I just wait for a while and hope we sort of fade from each other's lives and then unfriend/unf...

I (20F) can’t stop feeling nervous around the girl I’ve been seeing (21F) even though she’s explicitly told me she likes me??

Advice needed pls!! I met this girl on Tinder 2 years ago and she’s literally the girl of my dreams. Smart, funny, GORGEOUS, the whole lot. We went on two dates two years ago, and things sort of just fizzled out for a while. (We were both busy with school, I ended up getting a boyfriend for a couple months (I’m bisexual), etc.) We still texted from time to time, but hadn’t seen each other since. Well, last week I texted her and finally got the guts to ask her out again. She agreed and we went on a date last night. The date went really well, but one problem I’ve had all three times we’ve gone out is this super intense anxiety I’ve been getting around her. I’ve never had this issue before, I’m usually very relaxed and easygoing, but I guess I’m just so focused on trying to impress her, or I’m scared of fucking this up or something, idk. She’s told me she’s a quiet/shy person by nature, and after our date last night she actually texted me to reassure me that she does like me and not...

Me [26F] with my gay coworkers [M] who talk about queer and sexual topics constantly and it's kinda annoying

Let me first say that I am not at all homophobic, even though I know not everyone will believe me. I'm not even straight myself, though I don't really identify as queer or have much interest in the 'scene'. Anyway, so: I started a new job this month. It's in a pretty young, startup, 'hipster-ish' company, most people there are pretty young and the atmosphere is very fun and informal, and I do enjoy that! There are 4 men in my team and one other woman. The woman seems nice but almost never talks, and one of the guys is apparently straight (has a GF) and is also nice but more on the quiet side. The other three guys are the team lead and two people with the same job as me, and they are all very openly and obviously gay. Which in itself again, is not a problem. The problem for me came in when we had the second afterwork event (essentially there's one every friday). So far they had just been mentioning a boyfriend occasionally. But suddenly as alcohol came...

I (33F) am feeling nervous about and almost scared of my neighbor (?M)

I don't really know where to post this, but I'm kind of freaking out right now. Even though it might be completely unjustified. What started as a little misunderstanding between us seems to be getting blown out of proportion by him. Quick backstory; where I live we have a laundromat in the apartment complex that all the tenants can use. It can only be used by one person at a time and you have to book an appointment to use it, either that or you can take another person's appointment after 30 minutes if they don't show up to theirs. Anyway, this guy lives door to door to me. Yesterday, I had booked an appointment to use the laundromat between 1pm-4pm. You can book appointments online, which I did earlier during the day. I got home around 1:00, grabbed my laundry and was on my way around 1:10. Then I meet my neighbor outside of his door, with a hamper in front of him. He asks me if I'm about to use the laundromat and I said yes so he said "oh, you go right ahe...

The best year of my life with my ex (f20) and me (m22) and i hope for the best

I was with this girl (F20) for a year and I am (m22) , we have done a lot together, and I can honestly say to this day that I don't regret a single moment and I still love her more than anything. We are not together now but I will do anything to get her back, don't give up on what means the most to you. I've been on holidays and seen a bit of the world I thought I never would of seen. I have been to hospital and gotten over my fear of the place after my mother passed. I learnt to ride a horse which I never would of done without her. I have eaten things I never would of tried. This girl helped me so much and taught me to get out of my comfort zone. Don't ever settle for the minimum, aim for the best. TL;DR this relationship lasted a year, she did a lot for me and I don't regret a single moment, and people should enjoy what they have.

My (21F) boyfriend (27M) is still best friends with the guy (25M) who borderline assaulted my best friend (20F).

Hi everyone, This is something that's been affecting me on and off since it happened and I feel very conflicted about. This past summer my best friend and I made a trip to visit my boyfriend when we first started dating, since at the time he lived far from me and she was kind enough to make the drive with me. His best friend was going to be in town at the same time coincidentally for work in his military position. During our visit, my best friend was sleeping in the living room each night. On our last night there, his best friend ends up sleeping over in the living room as well, away from my friend on the couch. The next morning when my friend and I are leaving and driving back home she tells me she's 99% sure my boyfriend's friend touched her/did something to her in her sleep. She half woke up in the night and caught him doing it but fell back asleep as she sleeps like a log, and in the morning found her button down pajama shirt completely undone with the exception of ...
