I am losing all my relationships. My boyfriend slowly cut me off for no reason (known to me) and now we’re not seeing each other. I was immensely in love with him, sacrificed more than anyone should be asked for, went totally out of my way and exhausted myself for him all for it to boil down to ghosting. Everyone would tell me I was too good for him and deserved better but I was head over heals. I miss him everyday and I just never got closure. My bestfriend of four years broke friendship with me over something really tiny. It was me being annoying and chatty while I was stoned while we were traveling. After the trip he just cut me off over this. I was confused but I apologized to him with a card and presents, he refused to even open it and left it in the trash. I asked my other friends if there’s anything I could retrospect over and can change about myself and they said it was not my fault at all and he’s just acting childish or that his girlfriend is making him do it and there’s not...

I am the type of person to want to try and fix a problem as much as I can. In this case I am wanting to help my boyfriend overcome his struggles as much as possible, but every time I make a suggestion, I just feel like he’s dismissive of any ideas I have that could possibly help him. I understand that sometimes people don’t want help and just want to vent, but after a certain amount of time they need solutions. Here are some examples: My bf is hating his time at work and is always miserable and stressed. I have been listening to him complain about how much his work sucks since the beginning of September. I understand that his work is frustrating, but since the end of September, I’ve been trying to give him advice and trying to help as much as I can. I listen to him, but I try to give him suggestions. I advised that he look for another job and he’s like “yes, but they don’t want me”. I advise that he should be more positive for his own sake and he says “yes, but being negative is moti...

I have been friends with this guy for the last 3-4 years, and particularly close friends for the last 1-2 years. We have a lot in common and have spent a lot of time together despite being long distance friends (different states) due to school. About 90% of the time I am completely satisfied with out relationship as very good friends, but the other 10% I find myself having much stronger feelings and I just don’t know what to do with them. I am fairly certain that he only views me as a friend and I am worried that speaking up about these occasional bouts of romantic interest may make out current relationship as friends strained and awkward. I really don’t want to lose the friendship, but I really need some advice on how to either get over these stronger feelings or training myself to manage them better. TL;DR: I (24F) am starting to have stronger feelings for a friend (27M) every now and then and I’m not sure how to manage these feelings so that I don’t jeopardize the friendship. ...

[ADVICE NEEDED] Me and my bf are both 21 and been together a year. In the beginning he’d always compliment me look at me a lot touch all over me a lot. I probably wasn’t the most affectionate in the very beginning because I just wasn’t used to it but I was still pretty affectionate. Now roles have kind of switched where I feel like i stare at him a lot like literally all the time whatever he’s doing and call him cute all day always wanna kiss and touch him but I feel like he’s lot interest in me or not as into as he once was because I just feel like he barely looks at me at least not the way I look at him. And doesn’t really touch me as much either. When I stop doing it as much is when he starts paying more attention to me seemingly because he wants more attention. So I’m just at a lost this has kinda made me lose some kind of feelings and I feel distant now but idk I’m lost of what this all could mean. Should I back off or just simply bring this up although I feel like he would just ...

I will give a little background as it may or may not be relevant. Me (29F) and my partner (23M) have been together for over 3 years now. At the beginning, I was terrible, I was controlling, manipulative and allowing my mental health to dictate and rule both me and him. My anxiety was centred towards other women, the idea that he was going to cheat on me, hurt me and abandon me etc etc. I really did hurt him a lot with my behaviours and I’m incredibly ashamed of it and have worked hard to change it. I can admit I put him through hell and have no idea why or how he stuck by me throughout all I put him through. Overtime I got better, significantly, I don’t have any of my controlling behaviours anymore, I ensure I’m careful with my words, intentions and any questions I ask to ensure I am not falling back into old ways alongside with medicine I take daily to keep anxiety in check. Forward to August, I moved to be with him in his home country living together in his apartment. He started Un...

've been seeing this girl for about 2 months. It's been verging on serious - we are exclusive and have talked seriously about dating. She was in a weird, unspoken friends with benefits thing with a guy long distance over the course of a year. I had no idea about this when we met and started hanging out. She talked about him a few times, I asked her if she was over it, she said yes. Eventually he starts reaching out to her again, wants to visit her. She decides she needs to officially tell him I exist and that while they can be friends, that's it. She does so in text. In the immediate aftermath, she's upset. Says she need to talk to him more to get closure on what their relationship was. She had had feelings for him that never got expressed, and wants to know if he had felt that way. She reiterates time and time again she doesn't want him back. However, she kept saying "I don't know that I don't have feelings for him." She's been dealing wi...

My sister and mother think I ruin family time. For a while, I’ve [F21] had problems with my mother [F55] and my sister [F18]. I’ve always felt like my mother favored my sister a lot more than me. This happened a lot in my childhood and I’ve tried to ignore it now that we’re both in college (same school). We both came home for the weekend, and the same things happened a lot. It’s not so much a lot of big things but a lot of little things. It hurts to see them leave the room together away from me to talk privately. My mom also always asks her what she wants to do and not me. Then they make plans and I have to ask to be included. My mom doesn’t really acknowledge me a lot when both me and my sister are there. For example, we got into an argument Friday night because I felt they were insulting me by making fun of my height and my boyfriend by saying things like “it’s weird that you’re taller than him don’t people think that’s weird?” and saying other things about him and I. I told them...
