Hey, I'm Laura.

I've just joined. I've had a string of failed relationships and have been treated badly by guys. I am now beginning to think that it is my fault though and kind of giving of hope of ever finding the right one. I'm 33 and all my mates are married with kids.

The problem is my happiness is always solely dependent on whatever guy I am with and how they are treating me. I am seeing somebody right now and it is so toxic, when it's good ita amazing but we argue a lot and I get the blame for everything!

I really want it to work and he will only see me if I apologise, I am tempted to just to get things back on track but why should I if I don't believe I am wrong and he never accepts responsibly.

Well when we are in a relationship we give the opposite person the power to do anything to us. Giving them importance is different from letting them live your life

Hi, Im Dennis. Im 32 yrs old and have two kids with my wife. Weve been together 16 yrs and its been a roller coaster. We are currently in a working separation? I dont know what to call it really. Pretty much we are doing what we want to do without the other person being a part of it all the time. Its a strange and confusing separation.

Pretty much to sum it up my wife wanted to separate but she doesnt want to completely cut each other off. Shes been the complete opposite of herself lately going from super introvert to going out, talking to strangers, and using social media to start convos with random people. All of which are men so I wasnt sure what to think.

At first, I got really jealous and insecure about the whole thing, but after I asked her very bluntly if she was talking to someone else or wanted to see other people in general she assured me that isnt the case. She needs to be herself without me attached. As she put it, she needs to not be Dennis wife. So here I am now. Still confused, trying to make sense of the whole thing.

I joined this app and community because I know I need support from others. My buddies are all very type A personalities so telling them this whole thing leads to alcohol and trying to get me laid. I really dont want to end my relationship with her, but I know we need time apart. So yeah... thats why Im here.

Hello my friends🤗. I am 43 yoers old though some times I feel like 88 and many times like 5.😂😂😂 I had many crushes iin my life because I care for people but only one true love. I missed the magic of teenage days because I decided to be "mature and rational" in the detriment of love and living my life. I went through a divorce and I let my ex-wife go because I understood she found somebody else to love and I respected her right to happyness and freedom and supported her in her choice however hurtful it was for me. In my other relashionships I regret I could not help my partners with their medical issues or social stigma. Currently, after 25 years I was reunited with the love of my life from highschool, a soursweet love story of life. Know that I am a true natural empath and I will always care for you and feel you my friends🤗 Good luck following your own sagas🤗

Hello, I joined this community because I was just in a happy relationship but I broke it off to focus on my mental health. I have a few issues with that, and it would be nice to have someone else help me work it out.

New here and looking for others to reach out to for advice/support.

In a long term relationship, engaged but unsure if I want to get married again (been married before, did not go well, he went psycho - hid drug addiction), and I'm just afraid I suppose. My current relationship has definitely had its ups and downs. We butt heads often, get heightened quickly and put walls up....communication isn't at its finest for sure. We are trying to work on things, but past events still stick in my mind, made me resentful. Trying to figure out whether to stay longer and try to make it work for our son (almost 3 year old) or if its best to part ways.....he says he's never loved anyone as much as he does me, and for me...I love him, but sort of fell out of love with him during the hard times, trying to see if I'm able to fall back in love with him again I suppose...

Just feel stuck on what to do. Hoping that hearing from others can help provide some direction.

Hi. I'm ColourSkull, but you can call me 'Skull' or 'Ginger'. I don't like my real name, so....

anyway, I need a lot of help with things like relationships and friendships.
