A good friend of mine (27f) might be an alcoholic, or at least is traveling down that path, but I don’t know how to talk to her about it. I know to expect denial and possibly anger, but I want her to know that I am not criticizing or judging her, only that I am concerned. She is a full time stay at home mom and her husband will be deploying soon. She has started home schooling recently, while simultaneously taking care of an infant. She has many other responsibilities burdening her and I can tell that she is extremely stressed. Whenever she comes over to our house we usually have wine, but lately she has been drinking to the point of intoxication. Last night she was drinking with her husband until 5 in the morning. While it’s very possible that she may not be an alcoholic, the binge drinking is extremely concerning. The last time she was over we had to take the baby from her. I don’t mind caring for her or her baby, but I just don’t know if she realizes how dangerous this is, or that ...

TL;DR I get jealous when my girlfriend is around this particular friend of my because of the actions in the past and I don’t know if I am being crazy or not So I have been with this girl for around 3+ years now. Things are okay but I just can’t seem this feeling of jealousy every time she is in front of one of my friends. I never have that when she is around my 2 best friends but this other friend and my gfs behaviour makes things weird for me. This friend is married with a kid btw. It started on my birthday last year, I was ticked off my the fact that on my birthday while she was next to me she kept asking my where is your friend (that friend) and your other friend. Even though she has seen my best-friend more she would name this first friend first and she would go to find them. There was also this time when they were talking for around 15 minutes in my room. I asked her why is this and she said at parties I want to make sure everyone is okay. But why would she leave from my side a...

The guy (40) I was having casual sex with once a week for four month but know each other for years . He always used to like me but never asked me out directly , he always used to say I’m out of his league . I never considered dating him as he used to have kind of a womanizer reputation so I initiated a hook up. We were having conversations and had fun times, hanging out for a few hrs after sex. He cooked dinners. The chemistry was crazy. It was pretty obvious that we are just hooking up and I once even asked him if he’s going on dates . He once said he’d love to watch a movie together but didn’t really reciprocate. At the beginning all I wanted was just sex and didn’t plant to date him but I started to get attached to him. For the past month or so he started to become distant and pulling away and ignoring me. I asked him to hang out twice and he made excuses that he had to work but he’d love too. I finally confronted him and texted him whats the deal , told him that I really like ...

My older brother and I used to be best friends. But once he got married, his wife told him that he was too close to me and he needed to give some of our relationship up to be with her. So, it’s been 5 years of him slowly pulling away from me, to the point now where he hasn’t initiated a conversation with me in over a year, never responds to my attempts to call, rarely if ever responds back to my texts (has responded three times in this year). I also went through a really terrible abusive relationship about three years ago, and my whole family really rallied around me but he never even reached out, and the one time I reached out to him about it he just told me he didn’t want to talk about my situation because it would be hard to hear. The rest of my family is extremely close (as in we talk several times a week to each other.) The reason I’m writing is, my mom. My mom has communication with me all the time but rarely also speaks to my older brother. So I hear allllll of her thoughts...

My (F21) fiance (M24) and I have just hit the two year mark and I couldn't be happier. After having previously dated (M24) for 2 years on and off someone who 1) always used suicide to keep me in a relationship 2) held knives to my throat thinking I liked it 3) sexually assaulted me while I was sleeping and I spent 6 months thinking it was my fault. 4)threw me against a wall when I accidentally hurt him with someone minor and held me while biting hard on my face. My fiance, without fail, will 1) calm me down from panic attacks with breathing methods. 2) kiss me on the forehead when he is on his way to work 3) turn over in his sleep and rubs my back in circles 4) holds me when triggers have happened between us. 5) implement a traffic light system in bed for my safety and mental health. There are good guys out there who will love you and care for you and I couldn't be more grateful. I couldn't be more thankful for someone who will go above and beyond and look after me. His ...

Hi, this is my first time posting..here's my thought and I could really use some input. Here's a little backstory, I discovered the app " Meetme" not too long ago and I would stream on there, I don't anymore because that app is full of low life's, druggies and is just a waste of life basically so I don't do it anymore but there was a guy who would come to my streams ( he gave me his number) and even though I was skeptical of him I did message him because I was slightly intrigued.. we did meet and while I wasn't super attracted to him there was a comfort level there so we've been spending some time. He basically started love bombing me straight away, he told me he loved me within the first week of us meeting. I honestly thought he was trying to use me for some financial gain (I'm not rich, I'm a single mom lol) then I later discovered he lied about technically still being married but looked past it because I took a liking to his company and...

With online dating, it is a great way to meet other single people in your area. The most possible way for success with online dating is not for those that are the most beautiful or handsome, but rather being the most interesting. You can get the interest of others with your profile and this should be unique, fun and defiantly honest. Your online dating profile should be your first priority for your online dating experience. There are many ways that you can improve your profile so that you have the online dating success story that you are looking for. The first idea that you can improve your chances of attracting the perfect online person is by placing your pictures online. If you do not place your pictures it will look like you have something that you want to hide. This can be even if you are not trying to hide anything. Placing pictures will show a person what you are like and not just in looks but also in personality. It is a good idea to place at least one head shot so that people...
