I met someone at work pretty recently and we've been getting on well. This is at work so I haven't been going out of my way to meet frequently and make it a distraction from the day to day job (I know this is important and pretty sensitive). So we've met a few times, just the two of us (including lunch and coffee). And it is at a point where we are sometimes spending more than 3-4 hours after work talking in the coffee room about things unrelated to work (multiple times), and they are asking me if I am going to department gatherings before confirming they are going. To me these are all good signs that they might be interested... The only thing I have been quite sensitive to, is that I cannot tell if she is into it by her texting habits. I will say we text much, much less infrequently than I normally would with anyone. But I am quite happy with that given I prefer face to face interactions. But they are quite "short" and blunt by text (this could be a language th...

First thing, I'm new in this plataform, so I published this thread on a another sub before and the moderaters of it took it down bc it didnt belong there. However, someone told me about this sub :) Hey, so, last summer I received the opportunity to participate in an exchange and I was nervous and excited about it, the problem was that my boyfriend (im in an year long relationship) was really mad about it, he wouldnt even talk straight to me. But well, I told my mom and she was happy for me and when he knew that my mom was going to support me, he pretended that he did to, so, instead of mad, he wanted to show me that he was sad and that he was going to miss me. Honestly, I believe that he was going to miss me, but I know that he was doing everything he could just to make me feel bad and almost ashamed of myself (he did make me feel like that, but that was not a new; after a few months dating I saw myself in an unhealthy relationship ). His performance lasted till the end of the...

I’ll try to make this short. My roommate has been stealing my panties. I noticed some of my underwear going missing and was suspicious she was stealing it at first, but didn’t want to confront her until I had actual proof they were mine. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt that possibly we just had.... multiple of the same exact pair? I don’t know. Anyway, confirmed she had a few of my panties, including my nicer lingerie, none of this she mentioned that she “borrowed” from me. I confronted her about this, asking if she had been taking them. She said she was so sorry, she just did it because she hasn’t been doing her laundry and needed underwear. What?! Super weird and invasive in my opinion. I told her underwear drawer was off limits and to never take them again. She agreed. Months later, today, I walk past her bedroom and peep some of my panties on her bed. Newer ones I had noticed gone missing as of lately. I go in to investigate, and sure enough they’re my fucking panti...

Throwaway because she knows my main account. I've always been a bit of a sensitive soul. I don't want to say snowflake, because I don't think I am. My family has always had a gentle teasing, nudging style of humor. Both my parents senses of humor is a bit warped, and mine and my sister's are as well. Not as warped, but a bit warped regardless. That said, we all gently tease each other. I lost a hubcap on the car that my parents bought for me and my sister to share. We've been talking about whether or not to replace it. My dad made the comment that I should I replace it since I lost it. I made the joke that my sister could replace them if it comes time while she has the car. My dad responded back with "you lost it, you replace it" and I thought I was making a quip to a quip. My mom thinks I took that the wrong way and took it way far afield and we have been at odds for the past 6 hours. I don't think I did anything wrong, but we haven't been commu...

I've begun to notice that my bf never asks me 'What about you?' and 'How about you?' kinds of questions and it makes the relationship feel so one sided. I feel like a lot of the relationship is one sided other than this. He always wants me to ask him questions when we have nothing else to talk about and he won't try to ask me the things back. I'd say most things in the relationship are like this. I got him a Christmas gift three times as expensive (he got me food/snacks and didn't wrap it) and doesn't even care that I tried harder than him. He's just 'thankful' for me I guess. He's definitely into me because he always wants to talk and do stuff 24/7. I feel like a lot of this is to do with his ADHD but he doesn't acknowledge that it affects the relationship. He thinks he has it perfectly under control even though everything has to revolve around him. Is this just his ADHD? Or is this just a bad relationship? TL;DR; My boyfriend...

Hello, I have made a post before about how I think I am falling out of love with my current partner. We have been together a long time (more than 10 years). I started being less "interested" in him a couple months ago. I started going out more and spending more time with friends (either IRL or chatting on Instagram/Messenger) because I found anything my SO said annoying or meaningless. I reject his kisses and cuddles because I don't feel like it. Thing is, I do like him as a person. We tried talking, but he's bad at communication and I am kind of a mess right now, so I didn't know how to convey my feelings correctly. There is no one else. I'm just in a weird lull where I think I might have settled for him. He is my first serious relationship. I'm scared I missed out on something... But if I'm happy, all this shouldn't matter, right? I can't help feeling guilty about everything, but at the same time I'm not sure I'm truly happy. There...

I just got word that my cousin is going to ask me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding next week. I love my cousin and we were very close growing up. We grew into two different people and have almost nothing in common, but I still love her, truly like her fiance, and support her marriage. I really really don't want to be a bridesmaid in her wedding though. For starters I live across the country from my whole family. I work for an airline and fly for free (space available lol) but still it takes time to get over there. My schedule is generally very flexible but her wedding is 3 days before Christmas in 2020. The holidays are a very busy season for my profession. I cannot request days off in advance and have to hope I can move my off days around. Generally it's possible to get the days off I want (like this year I took off for Christmas) but I never know for sure. I will only have my December scheduled finalized on November 25th. It is very stressful that I will not know if i hav...
