Discovering red flags in newer friendship
by Summershy
Last post
 5 hours ago
...See more Last Friday, I had a get together at my place with some friends of mine and for the most part had a great time.   Of the people who came was a newer friend of mine and happened to see several red flags.  🚩. * When he showed up, he didn't seem like he was that excited to be there * He told me that he was tired * He kept asking me when we were going to open gifts because he got me one * When I asked him about a friend of his, he told me that he did not want to talk about it and not to ask him about her anymore because they fell out * He didn't really interact with anyone * After he left before everyone, he sent me a very rude text in which in criticized me by not only giving unsolicited advice but also told me that I had to change * He told me that he was only telling me this because he is my friend and cared about me * During an exchange in text messages, I attempted to set boundaries -He minimized what I said with "Happy Birthday and Goodnight." -He also wanted to keep having the last say -He gave me a fake apology -He wanted to have the last say and argue back  At that point, I didn't even say goodnight, I just stopped responding and then unfriended him and deleted his contact information. 8. Then after I unfriended him, I noticed that he and this woman, who he said that he fell out were still friends on FB.    -Though I don't want to gossip, I do question him on what he told me. 🚩
What do I do?

...See more I don't know what to do... I've been married to my partner for 4 years and I just don't feel it anymore. Everyday is hard. Everyday there's an argument. There's nothing special or romantic or fun. It's always just about them and I feel like I'm just dragging along because I care more about hurting the kids than my partner and they aren't even my kids. I'm terrified to say this to my partner as well because of the huge change in life and I don't know if I'll be able to actually get through it if we break up. I just don't know what to do. I feel very much like the frog in hot water but I just don't have the energy to swim or change anymore. I'm lost and I just want to feel loved again. Feel excited about my relationship again...
Failed situationship

...See more I met this girl online and found out she was from the same university I attend and decided to talk about her everyday. She was so nice to me and I think she was even love bombing me and I got attached to her and become delusional thinking she likes me bc I started to grow romantic feelings for her. Then I confessed and she said she didn’t like me and she didn’t even consider me as a friend. And I genuinely thought we were friends. I had no friend ever and I was trying to have one and it didn’t work. Maybe I rushed things bc we knew each other for weeks. 2 years passed and I found out I had to share one class with her and it triggers me so bad. She has cool friends and it triggers me, bc she didn’t want me. Maybe I become too needy bc i asked her to hang out everyday but isn’t it how people become friends? I didn’t only want to talk to her online and she would always text me at the end of the day and hang out with her friends in daytime. Like was it my fault? Or hers? I met her once in university we talked like 10 minutes in break in uni then we never got to talk in real life. This is why I don’t wanna try to have friends bc everyone already has friends and don’t wanna spend time with me instead they want to spend time with their old friends ): Rn the time I wrote this I missed the class we share together bc I didn’t wanna see her…
Relationship and happiness
by godmescudi
Last post

...See more Just a question. Why do people tether their relationship to happiness? For example, I travel for work a lot, couple times a month. Traveling excites me, to meet new people, network, and I feel like I’m valued at my job. My girlfriend (of 5 years) and I got into an argument yesterday, and haven’t spoken much, which has really impacted me on this work trip. Being I can’t be there to talk to her, and she’s not answering the phone. I’ve been down all day. Which sucks because if you asked me on Friday how I was feeling, I would say, “things are looking good”, I was overall happy. I’m probably over reacting, but man today has been ***. And sitting alone in this hotel room with my thoughts isn’t helping much. Brings me back to some sad times I’ve felt in the past.
Why cheat?

...See more hi everyone...  ive been thinking of this since long and i really wanted to know more thoughts on this...please don't take this the other way.. i don't mean to judge you and will not say anything bad to you... but i want to hear from those who have cheated in their relationships.... Why? ... what made you cheat?  im really trying to understand here ... why do people cheat... why does someone say they love you and then go behind your back? people can just come clean... leave the person and the relationship... then why cheat...and then leave the relationship??! Or worse...sometimes the partner doesn't even know they are being cheated on ...😔 cheating isn't just physical... it's also emotional.... one person cannot feel the same way for two people... the romantic inclination, the spiritual attraction, the commitment ... it cannot be replicated.. so many people can be good looking or attractive in different ways but i do not think it's possible to be attracted to multiple people in the same way ... in the way of wanting a future with them ... the way of sharing life with them... the way of being there with them and growing old with them.. my brain literally cannot comprehend someone finding another person even worthy of spoiling their committed relationship over... like idk man ... cheating should be illegal... unacceptable...people shouldn't even be thinking of it.... today's times are sad sad times...so many terrible things are normalized so much... it hurts and it's scary to even let someone in without thinking they aren't gonna ruin my perspective on love and commitment and relationships even more... hearing stories as these and seeing so much of it around.... really scares me so much i cant even explain... flares up my fears and attachment issues to next level...😔 yeah so personally i think cheating shouldn't even be a concept... but it is... so im just trying to understand what goes in the mind of the person cheating....  if someone coming across this has cheated on someone in past... or currently.... ik it's even silly of me to ask lmao because who even dares to admit such things right.... but um if it's a past experience and you can talk about it now...it'll really be helpful.... i don't mean to judge or shame you... but I'm honestly just trying to make more sense of this....from the other perspective...because usually ... mostly perspectives from only the other side.. the one who has been cheated on ... are shared  would like to know more on what leads to it? ... what could prevent it?.. how do you feel about it later? is this something you regret or are fine with.... your thoughts on it... anything ...

...See more I don't think my thread was saved so ill try this one last time. Need someone to talk to. Don’t have the motivation to try rewriting everything I had typed out. Id prefer talking with a female, 18-30, to get a better understanding of whats went on, and a better outside opinion of what’s going on. if anyone would like to get details on my situation that would be greatly appreciated. If there is a direct messaging system on this app then that works, otherwise Im fine giving out my socials.
Tragic tale of unrequited love
by Sanvee11
Last post

...See more So I have told so many people my tragic one-sided love story but I can't help but gush here about it too. So I fell in love with this guy when I was 11. We studied in the same school, but I didn't talk to him because I was shy. It started this way: on our first day of that school, ( he was new too), he followed me around asking, " What is your name?" and " I know your dad" ( our dads were office colleagues then) and the moment I looked at him, I was awestruck. He was so devastatingly beautiful. But all I could say and the only words I have ever spoken to him were, " Sorry but I don't know you." And somehow as the days passed I found myself staring at him in school often and feeling euphoric. I was in love! It was beautiful. I got the privilege to dance alongside him at the New Year Party of 2014 and sing alongside him in our school's Special Choir group.  Alas but a year later our parents moved to different towns and we left that school. I was shattered. I spent my teens in utter grief. The emotions ebbed and flowed. Sometimes I would totally forget about him but sometimes I would break into sobs thinking of him and the memories of him- his smile, his animated chattering with his friends, his winning the prize in the elocution contest, his firm, stolid gait, his handsome face. But it was only him. Never did I think of any other guy except him. If at all any such stray thought would come, I would push it out of my mind successfully. I never talked to other guys. My commitment was only for him. 8 years passed like this. Then I found his profile on LinkedIn. I was elated and texted him. To my joy, he recognized me and gave me his phone number. But alas, when I started to message him on WhatsApp, all I received was either total neglect or occasional texts saying, " I am busy" or " I was sleeping." He hasn't replied to my last message since three weeks. I am heartbroken. I want to marry him, I have invested so much emotions and energy in all of this and it sucks that he is not even bothered to reply to me. This grief is crushing. Why is he behaving like this? What should I do now? Please guide me through this trauma if any of you can. " Love's labour lost" is the only title that captures the almost-a-decade long journey of my unrequited love for him. 
i am new to this.

...See more Hi, i am new to this. scared, doubtful. but i want to share my recent things. i am a she and i recently went into a break up. he was a fireman. an ideal man of many. he courted me and after 8 months i answered him yes. what took so long? he was my first boyfriend. a dreamy first boyfriend. all of the people that surrounds me think that he is perfect. got a great paying job, have looks and pleasing personality. and even i was blinded by those. before i answered him yes i knew the consequences. Idr, busy days, ununiformed time for communication and he revealed to me while he was still courting me that he impregnated two women both babies died without him by their side. meaning he was irresponsible. he lost a large amount of money because of gamble. he is gaslighting me whenever i disagree with him. guilt tripping and blackmailing me. giving me love bomb from the start then became inconsistent throughout our 1 year and 2 months of being together. in short he was not someone everyone thinks he is. i saw who he is and everyone around me was blinded. i am glad i saw the true him. from the very start of our relationship i told him our conditions. like no kissing on the lips and pda to name some which he agreed on. me and my family gave him trust. but one night of all the night he attempted to kiss me on the lips, i was harrased. we we're hugging then a second later he is forcing me to kiss him, he is a fireman so he have this kind of strength that i don't. i pushed him and whisphered that he should not do it. but he persisted. he fulled me againt and luckily i broke the hug and run and never looked back. two weeks without him chatting, calling, texting me. he never appear outside our door he never apologized. he even blamed me for not going back on him sorry but rather he blamed me of my actions. got no choice. my mental health was being compromised. my peace of mind is being ruined. i didn't have a good sleep for almost a month because of what he did the. he blames me for my actions. one week after the break up, i confessed to my workmates about what happend and tell them everything. they told me that it was normal. that impregnating two women both babies didn't survived was just in the past. that kissing against consent is ok and normal. that i everything he does was forgivable and easy to accept. i was invalidated within that conversation with them. my feelings were greatly invalidated. i feel like my judgements were invalid and wrong. one month after the break up they still want me to go back with him. but playing scenarios in my head about that night, i know to myself that i will still do the same. i regret nothing. but they keep to telling me to go back and i can't stop them to tell me things. unsolicited advices. i just want to know if my decision is reasonable because honestly, i am doubting myself because of the people that surrounds me. to know if it is normal to give him things like kiss on the lips. i am new to this. thank you for taking time to read. -heidi
Disabled Wife - Not working wife - Fibromyalgia

...See more OK, I will try this,  I have no idea what I am doing.  I have never asked for help and am not sure I know how.   I have been married to my wife for 16 years on Saturday.  Back in 2016, she was injured at work, workers compensation screwed her over and did nothing to help her with her injury.  Since her injury, she has fallen into an almost hermit state.  She is depressed and has anxiety and Fibromyalgia.  I have been the only one working since July 2016.  Things were okay for the First few years I was working in corporate America and we only had one child.  We now have 2 great kids.  So that gives you a little background. my daughter was born in 2017. Well here is where I am now.  I feel like I am the Cash cow for the family and that is all I am good for.  There are more often than not times that my wife says she is in pain or has a headache or Verdigo and can not do whatever is going on for that day.  The house does not get clean.  She does cook when she has to.  she does do laundry but folding at least her and my laundry is still in bags.  on top of that the Physical part of our relationship is very little too rarely there.  Please help me maybe have a different perspective.  I am at my wit's end I hate how I feel.

...See more hey guys, I’m reaching out here because I don’t really know what to do. I have been seeing this person recently, we went out on 3 dates. For a bit of context, I made it very clear that I’m dating to marry and he was honest and told me that his divorce is almost finalised and that’s why he is open to dating. He is still living with his ex, until she gets her own house and him his own place. I really like this person but I don’t know if we are on the same page about things.
