New to the Relationship Stress Community? Introduce yourself here!! ❤️

I have been the toxic one in my relationship. My girlfriend has been here for me for a year while I try to fix my problems. Ive improved, but not enough. This is my last chance to improve myself or else were done. And I love her more than anything and I want to change so bad. Im really going to try. Any tips on how to deal with extreme jealousy and being controlling?

Hi, I'm here because I have a myriad of health issues (physical and mental) thankfully the mental ones are under control thanks to my medicine. Unfortunately, the physical - not so much. I do find being a listener cathartic and therapeutic, especially when I feel like I helped someone.

That's a great thing to do and help others

Hi my name is Saleel. I currently live in India. I have been on 7 Cups for about 2 months now and loving it. It gives an opportunity to share & listen to people, to receive & give empathy. This gives me support & joy.

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.

Hi, Im new here

I came for some help with a friendship thats really suddenly gone sour, I didnt really know where to go for help and came across this website

Hopefully I can be of help too, though Im not not the best in the friendship department (as you can see)

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.

I'm Marky! I love horseback and singing along with helping others when possible for me to.

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.

@OpenEarsHeart - Hello there :) Welcome to our community

Hey I am kind of new, I have been going through this breakup. Is all my me no support not from my friends (supposedly) or family. Or perhaps they are helping but is not forthcoming all I am hearing is one and the same thing. Time will heal all wounds. It's been two months and I still the hurt like yesterday, the lies and betrayal and disrespect and cheating. It hurts so bad but I try to be positive as I am studying for my exam USMLE step 1. No one understands what I am going through. Just my bed with all the tears in my pillow.

I would love to learn how to make new friends and if I am to start another relationship what I need to know. As of right now, there is a lot of mutual friends and this cause a lot of triggers and I want to stay away and just be me and make my own friends now.

Thanks already in advanced
