TITLE: Can't tell if she likes me?!?
POST: It's a long story, hold on
Months ago, I was getting close with a new school friend of mine (f). We talked and texted alot, and wow generally a kinda of bland person to talk to in public, she got very personal when talking to me in private. She would hug me alot, generally start the conversation with me. One day she even walked with me to the engineering department, holding my hand the entire time. My friends had never supported me in girls I liked until now. So finally I asked her out. Not interested in me at all, damaged our friendship severely.
Anyways her best friend(let's call her L)texted me saying how adorable it qas, and she was upset I didn't talk to her about it. She's and honest 10/10, I'm a 6/10, fat, but a nice face, and a 20/10 personality, leader, confident, top of our class, valedictorian in High School. Every single one of my friends was interested in her, except me. Anyways me and L became very close friends the months after. I even set her up with a friend of mine she liked, but they just didn't fit. Anyways lately she's been hugging all over me, and is very sexual and open in our conversations. One day while I was sitting, she came up and leaned down and hugged me for like five minutes straight, breasts all in my face. Lately she has been just putting them all over me. My best friend keeps telling me he ships it and that she likes me, but I can't see it. I'm to scared too ruin another friendship by asking her out, and I just can't accept "the signs" after the bullshit I've dealt with all my life in false signs. Does she like me? I'm not attractive, and most people would kill to be with her, and the type of guys she's generally likes are generally very fit, nice jawline, vapes of smokes, sports cars (i drive a 2002 altima).

TITLE: CC transfer student need help with deciding on major.
POST: Hey everyone,
This is my third year at community college and I'm going to be applying to colleges this year.
Throughout the years at community college, I've been thinking about what kind of major I should be doing or career path after college. I've never had solid grasp on what I wanted to do, so I usually followed what my parents and friends guided me towards.
In my first year at CC I thought about majoring in computer science, but after taking some programming classes I was shocked to find out it was completely different from what I thought computer science was.
Then in my second year, I thought about doing electrical engineering because my dad told me it was a safe and stable major to choose, also because he works in a engineering company himself. I thought to myself this was going to be the major I'm gonna stick to, but after getting obliterated by physics classes I was discouraged and changed my mind about engineering major.
Now here I am in my third year, still debating what major I should be considering. However, I was considering maybe majoring in mathematics because it is somewhat related to a career path I was interested in, which is cryptography.
However, I've read about some stories about math majors who've went onto upper division classes and ended up changing their majors because it was not what they expected. I'm aware of what the upper division courses for maths are like because I've looked up some problems people post, and it does terrify me quite a bit.
I guess I'm worried because if I do end up majoring in mathematics, I may end up switching my major when I transfer because I don't have enough guts to handle it.
I'm sure a lot of people on here had similar problems or anxiety like me, having doubts about one's ability, how did you guys decide on your major and what advice can you guys give me?
Sorry for my disorganized post, my thoughts are jumbled up so I can't put together my thoughts well together. I appreciate any feedback or comments.

TITLE: My fiance [27/F] just broke it off with me [28/M] and I'm feeling lost and confused.
POST: We've been dating for 3 years and we've been great friends since high school. We got engaged in November and were about to lock up a venue for our wedding when everything came down.
We talked on Sunday because she had been stalling on signing the agreement with the venue, and she said she wasn't sure she was ready to get married. She then said that she needed some time to get her head straight and then said that she wanted to take a break for a few months to figure out what she wants.
We got a house together in July, and things had been going great. We were both happy. I feel like she is scared of the responsibility and commitment that a relationship requires.
I don't know how to get her back and I'm terrified that I won't be able to. I love her to death and the last few days have been brutally tough. Any advice or thoughts on this to help me out would be much appreciated. I'm in the dark here.

TITLE: Me [21 M] with [19 F], dating for 2 months. Never had a serious relationship before, looking for advice.
POST: We're both in college, and as with many college relationships it started as a hookup at a party. It pretty quickly reached a level of emotional intimacy that I haven't experienced before and we've kept seeing each other. We've both gotten around a bit (had sex with multiple of each others friends) but we've both been upfront about it and are comfortable with it.
A few weeks ago we talked about being exclusive
and both agreed to it. A few days later she had a tough night with a friend and was drunk and expressed to me some doubts. She's a freshman and I'm a junior, and she said that I'd already gotten to experience being single and on the scene my freshman year and she thought she might want it too. A couple days later when we were both sober we talked about it again and I made it clear that if she felt that way then I'd rather we end things now before it got too serious, and that we should only keep going if she really wanted to. She said that she did and that I'm the only guy she's met in college that has made her feel important and not just like she's being used.
Other than that issue things have been going great. I've had the opportunity to have a relationship before but from a combination of fear of commitment / high standards for relationships vs. hookups / insert other excuse I've always backed out before things got too serious. This is different and I really like where we are and would like to see where things go.
Due to my lack of previous relationship experience, I'd love outside advice. What are good practices and tips to help build and strengthen a new relationship?

TITLE: Me [24 M] with my [26 F] short, fast love online
POST: This is more of a rant, but feedback appreciated. I met a woman online a couple of months ago and we chatted at first only about things of a sexual nature, roleplayed etc. Soon after, we became what I thought is emotionally involved with one another. We'd talk every night usually and were in the process of making plans to meet (we live a 2 hour plane ride apart).
I had made the assumption things were going great, and we had a very open relationship with honesty and the openness to say anything to each other. I heard this woman cry over things, chatted while she cooked, cleaned or whatever. I really feel for this woman and have never felt this way about anyone, even when I dated my ex for 7 years.
Over the past week, she has gotten extremely busy at work and hasn't had much time to chat (we texted fairly frequently during this time). Now, over the last couple of days, I asked her to be my valentine (she said yes) and then I had to go so the conversation ended. I texted her a bit on V-day and got a few responses and suddenly I haven;t heard anything. I've called and gone to the answering machine, sent a few texts and haven't gotten a response.
Now, I feel like I am maybe just being too needy, but its such a drastic change from what was the norm for us, I feel the right to know whats going on. I know "the internet is the internet arguments" but I don't find them valid. Am I just being ignorant to what is going on or is it fair to assume something has happened to prevent our communication?

TITLE: Me [20F] with my boyfriend [23M] of 5 months, I got a part time job and now I'm worried what will happen to our relationship?
POST: So I'm in my 2nd year of college beginning September and two days ago I finally landed a job. It's nothing in the field I want to do, just something to earn a bit of money, its a waitressing job.
For the entire summer all I wanted was a job, to not have to rely on parents, and to be able to buy or do whatever I want. My boyfriend works in a clothes shop but currently isn't really working cause he has a repeat college exam and is busy studying for that.
We don't live together and lately because of the exam we haven't seen each other in almost 2 weeks. I guess I'm worried that now that I have a job, we won't get to see each other as much, and worried that after his exam, he'll be off out on nights out with his friends and I won't be able cause I work from around 5.00pm till 1-2am.
I know this sounds ridiculous but I know I'm going to feel left out. I don't know why I'm feeling like this because it's irrational and all I wanted for months was a job. Maybe because his hours are always morning/evening and mine are evening/night so I wonder when we will get to see each other.
Right now, I feel like quitting because it doesn't seem worth it. Am I being crazy?

TITLE: My 1 1/2 year old cat has apparently forgotten about the litterbox. Any advice greatly appreciated!
POST: My roommate moved in in Sept. with two cats, each 1 1/2 years. I have since adopted the slightly-overweight male cat, and roommate moved home 2 days ago and took the other cat with her. Today while doing laundry I found cat turds in my towel pile...and upon checking the litterbox realized that he hasn't been using it at all. It's in the same place, it's the same one he's always used, litter is the same brand. A few hours later I walk by the litterbox and he's pooping three feet away from it on the rug...
My roommate never really kept the box clean, so could it maybe be that I cleaned it & put new litter in it soon as she left? I thought maybe it could be the absence of the other cat in some way, but they've been separated for up to two months before. He's eating the same brand & amount of food.
Has this happened to anyone? What could be causing this, & how do I stop it before there are secret turds everywhere?!
(I will add that this is the first cat I've had.)

TITLE: Me [18/F] with my mom [~50/F] and dad [~50/M] want to give my room to my younger brother when I go to college?
POST: I'm new to this posting thing, so please bear with me.
I'm at that age where college is in the equation, which has sparked many fights between me and my parents. One of the most frequent arguments is about how my younger brother [16/M] gets to take over my bedroom when I go to college due to his being the size of nice walk-in closet.
I don't know if I'm overreacting or just being unreasonable, but I told them that I felt as though they were giving away my living space. I plan on returning home during breaks and during the summer to work in my hometown (I have a great summer job) and I don't want to return to the "guest bedroom" (as they have put it) instead of the room that I have grown up in.
I have stated countless times that many other families don't give away their child's bedrooms when they go to college, but they just won't have it. I have been called "dramatic" and "drama queen" countless times.
The question here is: what should I do? Am I being unreasonable in expecting them to preserve my room for my return home? If I'm not, then what should I do?

TITLE: Boyfriend [25 M] of a 1 yr chats up other women to assist friend on nights out, in full view of myself [21 F] Obvious double standard as he's been dread gaming me throughout the relationship, apparent whenever I even joke about other guys.
POST: So my boyfriend and I have been going out for a little more then a year. Our relationship is pretty good and he's a really awesome person to be around.
Since our relationship commenced, a common theme on our nights out is my boyfriends newly divorced room mate not making enough effort to chat to women, despite clearly wanting to. At first I took my boyfriends desire to help his mate out, as pretty considerate. However as I'm now trying to restrict my drinking when we go out (something which my boyfriend made a point of), I'm much more aware of how my boyfriend is really just inflating his own ego through chatting to these women.
This culminated a few weeks ago when my boyfriend, while rather drunk, told me there was no point of him going out while in a relationship unless his mate was going to fuck a random chick. When I then asked what the point of a night out was for me, he replied 'to provide social validation [for previously mentioned friend]' awesome right?
I trust he's been faithful throughout our relationship & will continue to be so, but it still makes me feel shitty when he spends extended periods talking to these other women,or pointing out 'cuties' for his mate to chat to, while I'm struggling with boredom because I can't drink as much as I used to.
He talks about leaving me whenever I even joke about other guys (guys need to give up dread game -.- I value the relationship not because I fear losing him but because he genuinely adds to my life.)
On the one night someone ever approached me my bf got annoyingly angry with me for talking to him, despite me only telling the random dude that I was in a relationship (but my bf was pretty drunk so I didn't think too much of this reaction).

TITLE: (19f) I've been in and out of relationships, paying no attention to the one I should have with myself.
POST: Reddit, I don't know where to start, but I'll begin by telling you that I have very recently been brutally honest with myself and it made me cry for ten minutes straight.
I love attention, and because I am a very outgoing attractive girl, I garner a lot of it. I'm used to guys watching me walk by on the street, women looking at me with envy or judgement, and people listening to what I have to say when I talk. *Please, please*, don't see this as a conceited statement, I'm just laying groundwork here.
Regardless of the attention I receive, the knowledge of my beauty and intelligence, there is *still* so much insecurity. So what do I do? I get a boyfriend and things always seem to accelerate super quickly. We move in together in the first couple of months or the "L" word is spoken (I hate to say it but my bf at the time is usually the first to), excessive amounts of time is spent together and when I think everything is going fine, **boom** the relationship dissolves and I'm left with myself.
I used to write, words were my art. Fashion was something I was so passionate about and I had a stronger sense of self than I do now. I look in the mirror sometimes and don't know who I am (as cliche as it sounds.) I live in a suburban town (though I am close to a city) and I don't have any friends because they have all floated away in the midst of my relationships. When people ask me what I like to do for fun or what my hobbies are, I draw a complete blank. When I pick up a pen to write, I feel uninspired.
I know, in my head and now in my heart, that the only way to figure myself out is to be without a bf, but that safety and comfort of always being wanted by one specific person will be gone, and it scares me to death.

TITLE: What is the right way to handle the breakup of two equally close friends?
POST: Apologies for any language issue in advance, English is not my native tongue.
My partner "John" and I are best friends with another couple who will probably be splitting up soon. "Maria" and "David" have been together for about 4 years, and John and Maria have been good friends since high school. David has been really good to and for Maria and is an all around great guy. Maria confided in me recently however that he has been thinking about breaking up for a lot of typical feelings-reasons (not ready for the long term relationship that she wants, etc). She's devastated about it. Although I'm pretty frustrated with David because he's being really wishy washy about what he wants and hurting her in the process, it's not exactly an unpardonable offense. I know that breakups are really hard. I still love both of them no matter what.
That said, what is the best way to handle this from an outside perspective? We live in a small town where everybody knows each other and have a large friend group that gets together multiple times weekly and host a big party at our place once every couple weeks. We have multiple tabletop games going that both of them are involved in. How can john and I remain friends with both of them under the circumstances?

TITLE: My [21 F] S/O [23 M] of 6 months hangs out with his Ex's roommate (20 F) all the time, advice on how NTGAF?
POST: Hey reddit,
Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a relatively short period of time, only about 6 months. Met and started dating pretty quickly, all within about two months. We get along great together, share a lot of interests, goof around a ton, and genuinely care for one another.
From the beginning it was known that he and his ex gf were on good terms, no hard feelings and she would actually come over to his apartment a lot to hang out with his roommates because they were still good friends. At first this bothered me, but he assured me that it was nothing to worry about and I began to feel a bit more comfortable.
Now he has been hanging out with his ex's roommate (21 female), mostly when me and him aren't together and also at her apartment. Not sure if this is legitimately something to worry about, but for some reason this rubs me the wrong way. I really don't have trust issues with my boyfriend, and believe that he would never cheat on me or anything. I just feel like this relationship (between him and the roommate) would solely be based on his relationship with his ex, and is a person who they have in common and probably talk a lot about. It makes me uneasy, because she obviously would have a bias to talk positively about her roommate/friend, which could in turn make my SO miss his ex.
Upon writing this, I see how I could come across as jealous- i think it's more of me being insecure. I really just need advice on how not to care about this situation, or steps I could take to feel more comfortable about this relationship my SO wants to keep.
Thanks for reading guys!

TITLE: Me (23M) am having a hard time understanding GF's (23F) "connecting" behavior
POST: So I've been dating this girl for about a year. Things are good, and I think we get along very well. We have our tiffs but hey what couple doesnt.
What bothers me though is that shes claims that she must meet as many people as possible; shes really obsessed with "connecting" with people.
The other day when we went out with a bunch of her friends to a bar, she got the number of numerous guys. From what I saw, it was rather innocent in context, but it just bothered me a bit that it seemed like she was actively coming up with "list" of people she can get with after we're done... I feel like if I did the same, shed be uncomfortable too.
When I asked her about it, she said it was just for friendly encounters and that she just wanted to "connect" with people. Now mind you, she does do this a lot. Shell just go to some random store owned by a man clearly in his 50s/60s and will be very friendly with him because she wants to connect... I dont think this is sexual in nature.
I just dont know if this is normal behavior but anyway.
Before me, shes dated plenty of guys which is fine. But one gets to me more than the others. Apparently on a trip to thailand, she wanted a lay and hooked up with a hostel bartender. Then after the vacation, she went back to further "connect" with him. But it seems now that she has no desire to connect with him, and Im starting to think her hyper "connection" behavior is some sort of odd... I dont know scapegoat for something.
Am I being a bit too jealous? Should it bother me that shes still actively seeking male friends? (its really the motive that bothers me). It seems really strange to me that someone is so desperately in need to connect with people.

TITLE: [Discussion] Getting kicked down seems like the only way to get back on track....
POST: I apologize if this isn't the right subreddit to be posting in, or if I have used the wrong tag. I just really would like to get out of a slump that I am experiencing, and that I know I can get over.
I'm currently a junior in high school, and have seemed to really slumped into having a halfway attitude about performance - academic and athletic especially - from where I had started at the beginning of the year and my prior high school career. In this way, the results that I produce aren't really better or worse but the difference is that I am not motivated or spurred on by anything to improve this work.
I've realized that the only way to really "wake-up" and get back into a aspiring, positive, and more hard working mindset is to see the success of others, which in turn makes me realize how much harder I could have worked towards a goal and how much better the outcome could be. This feeling and mindset lasts only for at the longest a week, and this really seems to be what I am asking for help with.
In what ways can I get out of this desensitization to failure slump, and maintain motivation to do better, even when things are going fine already?

POST: I [f/23] am in a relationship and have been in it on and off for awhile [since early teens].
I was explaining to my partner [m/24] the other day that I wanted to feel "worshipped" by the person I'm with. This in not in an I am amazing or selfish kind of way but in a way that I feel like he wants me and I mean a lot to him and that I feel validated WITHIN the relationship itself. I say this cause I believe he doesn't act in a way that shows that the relationship is important to him.
When I said this he told me that I seem like all I want is for him to validate me all the time as a person to make me feel complete.
At this I try not to get angry because I feel like I know who I am and am happy with who I am and would be validated as an individual person without the relationship. i just would like him to do more things that make me feel like I am appreciated within the relationship and that the relationship is a priority.

POST: I met this guy off reddit a while back. We connected great, and did a few things together for 3 weeks or so before we decided to meet up. We basically hooked up the first time we met, which was surprising because there was no sexual tension between us at all.
Fast forward, a week or so. He suddenly stopped replying to me and is ignoring me off of everything. I confronted him, asking whats the deal, that I at least deserved a explanation. He told me that before he met me, he had a deep connection with this other woman, and that it wasn't fair that he was going to keep on going with both of us. So we ended there.
Fast forward 2 months, he texted me out of the blue asking about my life. I straight up told him that he hurt my feelings and I felt like I was used. He said he never meant for that to happen (red flag I know) and that he was the dumb one to use me as a placeholder (super red flag). Hes listing a lot of reasons in any ways we could possibly be friends again, eg. just becoming gaming pals, Skype pals or whatever. He seems sincere about it.
Now I have no intention of forming any kind of relationship beyond a friendship with him. But I was wondering if it's even wise to become friends with him again? I know I wont get sexually involved again but is he someone to trust, and will he even become a "good friend" in the long run?

TITLE: Reddit, I'm having a bit of a problem. I tracked my stolen phone online but I don't know how to get it back.
POST: On Saturday night I was out on the town, after running away from everyone I knew in a drunken attempt at a joke I ended up at home without my phone.
So I used icloud the next morning (which is pretty cool by the way) and tracked my phone to an apartment building a few neighbourhoods over. Set a message on the screen saying "call my roommates number and i'll even give you a reward" ... But got no call.
Then I called the non-emergency police to see if they could swing by and get it all serious style, but that was a no go.
I can see that it's still there but it's now on 5% battery and might soon be lost forever.
What do I do? Knock down every door in this apartment complex hoping some good person will give it back but potentially get shanked in the process? Or just consider it a write off and move on?

TITLE: First kitten... my brother and I disagree on something.
POST: My brother and I adopted a kitten from a friend who's roommate next year is allergic to cats. Everything's fine so far, since we grew up with cats (We know what we need to take care of them), but we disagree on what I think is a fairly major issue.
My parents, when raising cats back home, would leave out a bowl of dry cat food and a bowl of water in the kitchen. That's how I wanted to feed our kitten, by just supplying a little in a bowl and keeping it at a near constant level as we notice it going down. My brother, deciding that the way our parents fed our cats contributed to our oldest cat's weight gain (He's been with us almost 16 years now, and has been fat since he was 2 or 3, and my brother has seemingly forgotten how often my mom treated the old cat with turkey and other cat treats), is trying to tell me that we need to only feed the kitten at certain times, and in certain portions.
That just feels wrong to me, since it's obviously going to still be growing, and I don't think he should be worried about weight gain in a kitten. And I'm not trying to tell him to leave a full bowl out all the time, but to just leave some in there for when the kitten gets hungry at a non-brother approved time.

POST: Cut contact with this girl because she still had a boyfriend. I let her know that I saw us as more then friends and that when she becomes single for her to contact me and if not best of luck with everything.
three days later I get a text (legit 10 minutes ago).
She said, "Just so you know we broke up." (meaning her and her boyfriend.) Now, I do not know how to respond, do I ask why, ask her how come, ask her when...
Thing is we have been friends for a few months and I just could not do the friends thing anymore, so I decided cutting contact would be in MY best interests. I can not ask her on any dates though because she is in Florida till october, and I just need advice on how to approach this situation. Such as how to handle, stay in contact, be there for her, all the while keeping attraction up to what it was beforehand so that when she comes home our lives can intertwine again.

TITLE: Me [19 M] can't commit to a relationship with my [19 F]
POST: I'm 18 and have never been in a serious relationship. I have, I suppose, a girlfriend. She's fun to talk to, we share a lot of the same interests, but she wants to turn it up a notch.
Here's the thing, I've never really been bothered with relationships. I'm quite happy keeping my own company and I really value the freedom of being independent. But I do really like this girl, and I'd like to see more of her, but I simply can't cross that threshold. I'm really worried that I'm just going to end up upsetting her because she expects more from me.
This has happened so many times now, talking to a girl, she wants to take it further, I don't want to commit. Is this going to be me now? I like companionship, someone to share experiences with, someone to talk to and someone to cuddle with. But the relationships I see seem to be about being on call 24/7, spending all day returning texts and basically throwing a whole lot of your personal time away for smalltalk.
What am I to do here? Either I tell her I'm not interested and I maybe loose her as a friend if it upsets her or I go for it. The thing is, if I do, it could either go really nicely, or it just raises the stakes and makes things worse if I realise it isn't for me and want to get out.
I've also gotta say, for some reason, I feel that relationships are something I need to somehow keep secret or lie about to others. I get some weird mental block there. I'm generally quite reserved, and I don't know if that's got anything to do with it, but it's like the person that I love is a personal thing, and personal things should stay private. That's a shitty way to put it, but it just seems weird to me, even though everybody does it!
A psychiatrist could probably have a field day with me!

TITLE: I'm [20 M] struggling to understand something and I'm feeling hopeless for future relationships.
POST: I know this may come across as a stupid question,but I have noticed with most long term relationships there is often a period of time where they are broken up or take a break and then getting back together. Most people on r/relationships advocate not getting back together with exes as they are exes for a reason. So how are long term relationships supposed to work? How do people stay together for so long? I feel as though there is such a fine line to having a relationship that lasts a lifetime especially in today's society. I'm having doubts that I could have a successful relationship based on this train of thought. I'd really hate to think of relationships work this way. So, /r/relationships, how do long term relationships work.

TITLE: TIFU by wearing ladies underwear [24m]
POST: So I was visiting my friend out of of town for the weekend and everything was awesome except the fact I forgot to bring clean underwear. So, no big deal I just wear the same pair since I had JUST changed them so it was all good. However, after a weekend of drinking and partying needless to say I needed to changed by the time the weekend was done.
So when I finally got home to my family I decided to hop in the shower. When I got out and dried off I realized I had no boxer's clean whatsoever (wife forgot to do laundry apparently =P) and I HATE going commando, can't do it. So I looked in the dresser and all I see is my wife's underwear. We're about the same waist so I figured fuck it. I reluctantly put the panties on and went about my day (all in the while constantly tugging at my junk due to the tightness of the underwear.
Fast Forward 6 or 7 hours at around 7pm: I had (sadly) gotten accustomed to the underwear (forgetting completely I was wearing them) and my friend calls me to go hang out for a bit. So I do. At least 15 people were there (most I knew but 5 or 6 I didn't). We start scrapping as we often do (Fighting MMA style for fun) and of course I fall down at one point and get back up to keep fighting but everyone is just staring at me. First looks of disbelief, followed by confusion and finally mass hilarity. EVERYONE was laughing so hard it wasn't even funny. I had COMPLETELY forgot about the panties. Tried to explain my case but doesn't matter. 2 Days later I have a few new nicknames. No one wants to hang out and I am completely embarassed.

POST: we've known each other for 3 years, became friends about a year ago. i've always liked him and have always made it pretty obvious that i liked him, but he's had a girlfriend for most of the time that i've known him. a few months ago we started talking every day, and eventually i started going over to his house once or twice a week and spending the night without anything sexual happening other than cuddling.
one night we hooked up, i told him i didn't want to sleep with him. the next time i was over we had sex, and after that the texts stopped. i figured he wanted it to be a one time thing, so i let it be and gave him some space. we remained friendly and since we work together we still hung out together frequently with our group of friends. just when i thought everything had worked itself out, we had sex again a week ago and now i don't know what to think. another detail that may be important is that i was a virgin before him and he knew this.
i guess what i'm stuck on is how to ask him what the fuck is going on without sounding like a lunatic or making things weird at work, since he's pretty reserved when it comes to things like that and seems to have a hard time expressing his feelings, if he has any for me. it used to be that i could text him any time about anything, and lately i haven't texted him in days because i get the feeling he doesn't want to hear from me.

TITLE: Cat getting hot spots.
POST: Hey all. I'm calling all cat nutrition experts.
My 7 year old orange shorthair developed a hot spot on her neck. Before I knew what a hot spot even was there was a running joke about how she would not know when to stop rubbing her head on stuff because she'd sometimes rub herself into a little scab.
As far as I can remember she always would over do rubbing her head like that. It wasn't until recently she started rubbing that spot on her neck like that.
We went to the vet to get her checked out. When I saw what she had done to herself I freaked the hell out. they sent us home with an ointment.
I didn't know that certain foods could cause a cat to start getting really itchy spots on them like that.
We have two cats. The 7 year old and a 13 year old. The 13 year old had never had any problems like this. I suspect that it has something to do with the 7 year old being a little undersized, maybe a runt. (she was also pretty undernourished when I found her 6 or so years ago trying to cross a busy street. Perhaps not the brightest.)
We feed both of our girls friskies prime fillets. mostly turkey or beef. They don't like fish too much. We used to feed them fancy feast but seemingly out of no where both of them decided they didn't want to eat it any more. We have meow mix hairball control dry food out for them. I feel like we've always fed them meow mix.
Oh! Another thing. The two girls fight a bunch. It's never anything too out of control. They just both seem to love the same square of living room. When it gets too rough they usually cut it out or i'll intervene with a spray bottle of water. The older cat doesn't have her front claws but the younger one does. As a result the older one will nuzzle the younger cat to get her to cut it out. Could that be the reason? If so why the spots on the her ears. I've never seen the older cat go after those spots when they are playing. Again, the older cat hasn't had any issues like this.
Anyway,
TL;DR: . Assistant:
|
does any one have any information on either of these foods causing a reaction like this? Could it be the two cats playing too rough?

POST: Hey all. I have been working at my current employer for almost three years. My employer is very generous, and they send us IT technicians (I am a help desk guy, but we are a small IT group and get involved in many projects doing a lot more than that) to training yearly. This is a job abroad and this means most of the tech training must be done in region in another country or far off in the United States. Others with a higher pay grade get tuition benefits, I do not. I am not complaining, my first job out of school would not even pay for training down the street ...
So I want to write a proposal that I can plan out an online MS in Computer Science, that every year would be cheaper than flying me out, putting me in a hotel, and paying for an expensive training course. Does anyone have experience with this? What format should I use? Anyone know where to even find samples? Not sure what to call this.

POST: So I'm on this healthy kick. I'm running a lot more, drinking at least a gallon a day and taking vitamins to supplement what I may miss in meals. One of supplements I'm taking is fish oil pills.
On this day, I was busy at work so I grab a my supplements to include the fish oil, a bottle of water and left the office with the intentions on consuming everything once I was in my car.
Well, I forgot! I took off my clothes from work and put them in the hamper. The next morning I put the clothes from work in the wash. I forgot that I had left the fish oil in the pockets.
When I got home:
Wife: "What did you put in the laundry? There's a weird smell coming from that area."
Me: "Just a load of clothes" and I went back to check it out. I smelled the same weird smell. But had no idea where it came from.
Wife: "I put the clothes in the dryer".
Well, after drying clothes I like to smell the fresh laundry smell. I took the load out and 1 whiff and I instantly knew what happened. My whole load of clothes smelled like rotted fish!
Now I'm washing them over and over hoping I can get the smell out.

POST: Really close friends for almost a year, then dating, and we just broke up earlier tonight. Didn't tell a lot of people because he wasn't ready for his family to know due to religious differences. From the start I wasn't sure we would last due to said issues, but I was expecting some more time. Some things unexpectedly came up today and we talked for a long time about our future. We decided that even though we loved each other, there was no point in prolonging the inevitable and we decided to end things since love alone can't sustain a relationship. We decide set an optional deadline for one week to talk to each other if we need to, but I think I need a clean cut.
I'm barely hanging on at the moment, and I just need some kind words. We didn't really tell a lot of people since we didn't want his family to hear through the grapevine. Best person to talk to would be his sister, since she knew and I was also friends with her, but I don't think it's fair to put her in the middle of this, even if it wasn't an angry breakup and there are no sides to be taken. Talking to a couple other friends that knew, but that's really all I have right now.

Later on I started to think something is wrong. Asked the wife and she requested i go ask him to delete it.
Went back asked him to remove it. He dodged by knocking on the door by his and asking for some candy. I said "I'm not interested in candy, I'd just like you to remove the photo". He started to protest "you can't come in my house". I replied "I don`t need to come in, i just want to see you delete the photo" , but his neighbour (turned out to be his mom) said "no if he asks you to delete it you must". He invited me in, talked to a guy he called his brother "I need the camera, i have to delete the picture of the little girl". I mentioned that i needed to see him delete it and his brother brought the camera over and showed me it being deleted. All this amidsts protests of "what kind of guy do you think i am", and my assurances that it was just that i didnt feel comfortable. Brother says ignore him he is drunk.
So as far as i know it is deleted (could be other copies obviously). I`m a bit freaked that there is now a man near my house that wanted to take a photo of my kid (I was in the picture). I hate being paranoid, and (i think) i remember reading that pedophilia is very rare, and much more feared then warrented (compaired to say driving in a car).

TITLE: Apparently I want to sleep with my two best girl friends who I can never touch.
POST: Sorry, title sounded a little awkward but I guess it makes sense. So basically the other night the girl I've been sleeping with (call her F) regularly comes over and stays over, we have sex and then pass out before we have class the next day.
I have a really hard time sleeping, especially staying asleep, and so a lot of times I'll wake up, but F is a really sound sleeper and it never really bothers her. I remember waking up at least twice, and both times F was snuggled next to me, her head on my chest, but when I looked at her, it wasn't her.
I'm in a fraternity and so we have sweethearts who are some of our best friends, but one of the things is that we absolutely CANNOT sleep with them or have sexual or romantic intimacy, since that would put the relationship between the girl and the entire chapter at risk. BUT, both times I woke up, I saw a different girl. Two of our sweethearts (call them S and B) both have a lot of physical similarities to F, all short brunettes who are cute, and so somewhere along the line of waking up I saw first B, then S, instead of F when I woke up.
I loved it. I like F a lot, but we're just keeping things casual so we're not in a serious relationship or anything, but I spend so much time around S and B as friends, with no romantic or sexual stuff between us (except one time with S before she was a sweetheart). But, I can't act on the feelings I have towards either one, which is that some days I feel as though I might be in love with one or two of my best friends, and that maybe the girl that would be perfect for me is standing right there, and I can't do anything about it.
I just wanted to tell someone this, because obviously if I tell any of my brothers/other sweethearts shit might hit the fan and people would look at me differently.

TITLE: I [M/20] suspect that my [F/20] girlfriend's male best friend [M/20] has feelings for her.
POST: I have been dating my girlfriend Sarah for almost a year. She has a male best friend, John, with whom she is very close, but it hasn't proved to be a problem in our relationship, so I was pretty ok with it. I don't hang out with any other girls one on one, but that's just because I'm in a major with very few females, so most of my friends are guys.
Every time I've met John, he's seemed friendly, but he is always somewhat short with me. He constantly texts and snapchats Sarah, except when he knows she and I are together, in which case he just stops. He also doesn't seem to like being around us when we're together, because he is awkward and looks somewhat uncomfortable. In the past when we've all gone out together he has tried to subtly assert just how well he knows Sarah in a way that seems competitive/confrontational.
John has been on and off with one of his previous girlfriends since the time I started dating Sarah, but he can't seem to make anything stick. Sarah says it's because he just can't get over his ex, but I suspect that he might not be able to commit to anyone else because he has feelings for Sarah.
Now the kicker is that next semester Sarah is planning on getting a single person apartment that is literally directly beside John's apartment, which she is excited about because they're good friends. This makes me uncomfortable, but not because I don't trust my girlfriend. I totally trust Sarah, and she is by no means a flirty or overly sexual person anyway. It's John that I dont really trust, and I think that for whatever reason she can't see or accept that he might have feelings for her.
My girlfriend doesn't know that I feel this way about John, because I know that she firmly believes that they have a platonic relationship (she may be right), and I think she might accuse me of being jealous or possessive if i tell her.
Is it wrong for me to be feeling uncomfortable about this? Am I being jealous/possessive/controlling, or do I have any legitimate reason for concern?

POST: This happened on Wednesday fellow redditors, you time constraining fucks.
Had my 6 month cleaning at the dentist today. Right before I left my apartment I realize I had to shit but I was running late, I could not afford to reschedule my appointment again (already rescheduled it twice before).
So here I am, prairie dogging on the car ride there. I want to shit so bad but I have a fear of shitting in public places (my dumbass). I hold it until they call my name to go get my teeth cleaned.
So, I'm getting my teeth scraped by the metal pokey tooth of death. I'm clenching my asscheeks trying to withhold my shit of a thousand suns. Suddenly I get this big burning pain sensation in my stomach, I realized I had a bowl of cereal before I left, I'm lactose intolerant. Fuck me in my poopy ass.
I had this big urging need to shit all of the sudden, and let out this massive fart/shit that smelled like rotten milk and eggs. I immediately clench and lift my head upwards in agonizing embarrassment. Bad choice.
The pointy park of the metal tool of death was still in my mouth, when I shot up clenching my shitty ass, it penetrated my gums in the back of my mouth and hung there like a fucking fish hook. I was a fucking fish.
I pulled it out and my dental assistant lady ran out of the room looking for a first aid kit.
There I was in my glory, bleeding mouth with shit pants running to the bathroom. I lock the door and shit my ever loving brains out. The sweet sweet relief.
I came out of the bathroom looking like a fucking cannibal shitter who smelled like farts and ass.
I left without finishing my cleaning. Needless to say I will be getting mg a new dentist.

I've suffered from acne for most of my life and while it's calmed down a bit now, I still have scars and occasional breakouts. I even posted to r/amiugly and... the results were less than satisfying. I also have anxiety and some minor depression which makes everything 10x worse. However, I'm blessed enough to have a loving and understanding boyfriend who prefers my body type and makes me feel beautiful.
My friend is tall, thin, and pretty. She's always been loved by just about everyone she meets, while I've always been shy and quiet and generally forgotten about (seriously, if you asked anyone in my high school, no one knew who I was and everyone knew her). She's perfect model material, so much that she was scouted (during a shift at McDonald's, no less! I hate how the uniform makes me look, but she's model material even at work). Ever since she got scouted, I've felt worse about myself. I always knew I wasn't as pretty as her, but now it was confirmed. I'm the ugly friend.
I've since been... avoiding her. I feel horrible about it, but I can't bear to look at her. The fact that she had this opportunity handed to her on a silver platter because she won the genetic lottery makes me incredibly angry and jealous and sad. The fact that I'll never be beautiful and recognized as such makes me feel worse. The fact that I'm being so petty over this... you get the picture. I don't know what to do about any of it. I can't bring myself to talk to her about it. I'd love any sort of advice.

TITLE: Me [24 M] with my ex boyfriend [26 M] 7 months, I broke up with him and am now regretting it
POST: I dated a wonderful man last year for about 7 months. I broke up with him, I am now realizing, because of a previous relationship. This isn't so much about that, I'm working on that aspect of myself. I'm just in so much pain right now because of my regret.
I broke up with him about August last year, and we remained friends after that even though I could tell he was not over me. We talked a couple of times about why we broke up, and when I realized that I broke up with him because of a past relationship, and how, without that past relationship I would still be with him, it killed me. It broke my heart.
He is now dating someone else. I know he is still getting over me. I talked to him about my feelings yesterday and he essentially told me he was trying to move on and I should too. I just don't want to.
I could spend the rest of my life with this man and be so happy, the regret I'm feeling is overwhelming. I can't even constructively, objectively use it to see what issues I have myself to work on, it hurts so much. Especially because I did it to myself, this was a mistake I made. How do you get over regret like this? What kind of steps can I take to alleviate this pain?

Broke up with a man, regretting it immensely. Can't figure out how to get over that regret and hurt.

TITLE: [Discussion] Should I get a dog if I live on my own?
POST: Hi all, not sure if I selected the right tag or not but I wanted to get your opinions and advice on a predicament I have.
Next year my wife and child are going to move out as we are going to get divorced. As horrible as this will be, I need to focus on the future and for myself to be happy.
One thing I have always wanted to do and couldn't when my wife was here was to get a dog. I grew up with dogs and love them. I have really wanted a dog for years but my wife didn't want them.
Anyway, as I would be divorced, it would mean I would be living on my own (in an apartment). I am concerned that it wouldn't really be fair on the dog to work a full time job and only spend time with it in the evenings and have it stay at home all day on its on.
What are your thoughts and opinions on this sort of case? Particularly dog owners who live on their own - what do you do?
Another important matter is that I live in this country on my own, so I couldn't have family come over and see it etc (they are all back in England, whilst I'm in the USA).
Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I wanted to see what you all thought on this? What advice you may have or if you can think of any tips? As much as I would love to get a dog, I want to get it in the right circumstances so I can be sure it is happy

TITLE: Reddit, I need your help... I almost walked in on my live-in GF cheating...
POST: Throw away account here. Im going to make as short as I can because I am too broken up to even sit at my computer right now, Its been a real rough night. So last night me and and my gf of 3 years who I live with decided to do our own thing. I was supposed to crash at a close friend of mines place for the night but decided against it last minute. I had tried texting and calling my gf during the course of the night to no avail. I wasn't very happy about this but just figured she was drunk with her girlfriends and that I would just catch her at the house. Well when I got home I walked up to my front door to see my girlfriend walking in the house with some dude I have never seen before. He splits when he sees me and me and my girlfriend fight all night over it. She can barely stand up or talk because she is so wasted and eventually passes out. So, I don't know what to do. Should I take her back? How do I handle this? We have been living together for 2 years and together for 3. Most of my life revolves around the relationship and Ive honestly always thought that I couldn't find a girl who would do as much as she does for me. She makes more money and pays most of the bills and yet doesn't look down on me for it. She has always been extremely supportive of me though everything and I feel like she loves me for me. I have severe anxiety and she has been there to hold my hand in the hospital through many panic attacks. Im closer to her than any person on the planet. This morning she woke up and is destroyed by what happened and is begging me to take her back. She says she was getting a ride home and was going to pass out but who knows. I don't know what to do but the trust is broken. So guys, if there is anyone I can rely on for advice it is you... Please help.

TITLE: Me [17F] with my boyfriend [17M] are starting to have a really weird relationship, help
POST: I'm in a really messed up situation right now.
My boyfriend and I had been in a relationship for year and a half. Then he broke up with me because we've had many fights and he just couldn't take it. The next day after the break up I begged him to take me back. He was my first boyfriend and he treated me so well and I was afraid I'm not going to find anyone else who cares about me that much.
Well.. he took me back quite easily but we made up new rules for the relationship because he said he was so anxious and wanted more freedom. I was okay with that. But then at one point I got a feeling he liked being single even though it was just one day. I asked him does he want his freedom to include f*cking other girls or something. He said he is interested to experience another girl in that way. (I was his first and he was mine, we haven't been with anyone else).
We discussed about that topic for a while and I was so afraid of losing him I said that he can be almost single and hang out with girls more as long as i'm the one he comes to at the end of the day. I was so scared of losing him again and at that point it felt like I have to do anything to get him back.
Few weeks after that I said i'm down for ffm experience and he was excited. Then I asked him does he want my permission to f*ck another girl without me, he said "yeah xd….". I got him back and everything's been fine but now that I have him I'm really anxious about that he wants to experience another girl without me like that…
What should I do, I don't know how I feel about this. I want to be with him and I really don't want to break up again, I feel like he's The One. We have such a good time when we're together. And he treats me so well..

TITLE: I live in a shitty small town, what does reddit think about my story?
POST: I live in a small town. I will not provide the name of this town because I do have friends who are avid redditors.
I have lived in this town for about 8 year now and as time goes on, it just gets worse and worse. My friends are starting to get involved in drugs and the "cool" kids who are heavily involved in drugs and alcohol are complete douchebags that take advantage of girls, they ruin their lives.
I just recently went through a bad break up. My ex lied to me about pretty much everything. It has been a month and she has had 2 boyfriends since. I believe that I am a pretty good guy. I stick up for people, I don't do drugs and I don't drink. I've never taken advantage of anyone, and I think I'm pretty fun to hang around. Yet I get trampled on. This whole system of who gets the credit is fucked up. I get bullied and made fun of because I do things that are right. I stand up for people who do right, and I criticize people when they do wrong.
I am going into my senior year in high school and the past couple of months have been very hard for me. I am a part of National Honor Society but I nearly failed 2 classes. I've never even come close to failing before but this town is taking it's toll.
So, to wrap this up. Does anyone else have a similar story? Or would anyone like to give their input? Anything is greatly appreciated as I just want to get out of this town as soon as possible.

TITLE: TIFU by ignoring a car full of black boys hollering at me
POST: I'm a fairly nice looking, skinny, blonde girl. I get yelled at/honked at by men in cars all the time (I got to college, so I must walk everywhere) and it **drives me crazy**. I always ignore it because I have a boyfriend, you hollering at me from a car does not interest me, **nor is it classy or attractive**.
So I'm late for an appointment, hurrying to get to my friend's car. I cross a rode behind my house, where a black kid sticks his head out of the car and says something like "Hey sugar." I ignore it and keep walking.
Before I know it, they have rolled down all the windows of the car and all of them are yelling, "Blondie! Blondie! Hey girl! Blondie!" etc. But not yelling anything specific. I was already in a bad mood from running late, so I keep ignoring them and start walking faster.
Then I realize I dropped my sweatshirt (it was draped across my purse). I turn around and don't see it, but see some people across the street pointing and saying, "They grabbed it for you!" So I scurry back to the end of the block, and the car is nowhere to be seen. Not only today did I realize I'm racist and a bitch, but then they stole my nice sweatshirt.

TITLE: How do I [M/22] convince my GF [F/20] that we can manage long distance?
POST: My gf and I have been dating for a little more than a year after meeting at university. About about halfway through, I graduated and left university. Since then, we've been doing long-distance, but it's only about a 2 hour drive (I understand this is not a vast distance). Since then, I've tried my best to visit, sometimes she does (once every 3 weeks at most, typically every two weeks with back-to-back weekends not uncommon). She can be a bit needy and clingy. I try to cater to those needs, within reason. I send care packages, talk to her often, and do my best to spoil her when we do see each other. I do my best to keep our romance.
However, when we are apart she finds herself sad and second guessing the relationship. She's apprehensive about our future because it is highly likely that we won't ever be in the same city for the foreseeable future. In spite of this, I'm fully committed to her. She is a good person, the type of woman I want to be with and have a future with. Unfortunately, she's apprehensive because she sees sadness as a component of being long-distance. For me, I'd rather try my hardest and potentially fail doing long distance. For her, she'd rather get out now than to hurt more later. However, she says she sincerely wants to be with me, but is unsure and unconfident in my abilities to fulfill her needs in a relationship.
What can I do? How can I show her that we can do long distance and still have a healthy relationship?
Or do I have to accept that this just won't work out? That the best thing I can do for her and me is to just let things go? I just have a hard time accepting "long-distance" as a reason to break-up, when I know full well how happy we are when we are together.

TITLE: How can I [21/M] advise my teenager sister [17/F] to avoid risky situations without instilling rape fear or guilt?
POST: I hope the title is not too bad - english is not my first language, sorry.
My 17-year-old sister recently put herself in a situation which was quite alarming when my mother heard about it. She was drinking (too much) with 2 of her friends and 5 other people she did not know, on a camping beach, near a lake. Nobody was sober enough and some of them took a midnight bath while clearly drunk. I hope I am not overreacting if I think that it is dangerous, mainly because the drowning risk… Anyway, I realized that even if I gave her some big brother drinking advice (things like « if you don't feel like drinking because suddenly, the taste of alcohol kinda disgust you, it is time to stop, no matter what your friends tell you to do, you will not have a good time if you continue »), I never mentioned certain situations (like drowning while drunk).
In particular, It made me realize that I never told her something like « dudes flirting with you while drunk sometimes misinterpret your signals (by clumsiness or malignancy) and bad things can happen to you, so do not get too drunk with people you barely know/trust to be able to react well if it happens ». I want to tell her that and I want to make her understand that it is serious, but something I've understood by reading feminists books/articles is that many women live in a constant (and horrifying) fear of rape, and when some asshole rapes a woman, this woman often feels some guilt, feeling that it's her fault, that she should have been less clumsy, put on less sexy clothes, drunk less, etc.
I do not my sister to feel that way, and moreover, I do not want to be a part of the transmission of this rape culture which blames victims! On the other hand, I want her to understand that this is a serious issue and that even if, in an ideal world without rapists, she shouldn't have to worry about it, she should be aware of this issue and avoid stupidly risky situations.
How would you advise me to phrase my advice to her? Again, sorry for my bad english =/

POST: We've been dating for over a year.
He dated this girl the summer between his junior and senior year in high school. They dated for 3 months I think? Anyway, she was his first kiss, first prom date, etc. They didn't kiss and most of their relationship they were apart (he lives in Oregon during the summer). Whenever he speaks about her, he says that he really liked her. He told me specifically that he never LOVED her though. Well, last night, he was drunk and said that she was his "first love." The next morning I asked him about this and he said that he was drunk and being emotional and meant puppy love, and that he never actually loved her, and that I'm his first true love.
Well, I'm a little worried that he still likes her or has feelings for her of some sort... I'll admit, I've snooped a few times on his computer (which is NOT okay...haven't done it in a long time)... but he did go on her Facebook every once in awhile.
I'm just really confused about why he is still wondering about his HIGH SCHOOL girlfriend...of FIVE years ago... strange?

POST: So I know its a bit weird. You start a new relationship, you want to tell everyone about it, right? Been with my SO for a few months now and I think we're moving from being casual to actually being in a 'relationship' (he hates labels so I'm not actually calling him my boyfriend atm... It's early days so I'm cool with that).
Prior to him I was very much single for a long time and met some cool people along the way. Since I started seeing my SO I obviously didn't really speak to them and we kinda became exclusive. However now we're a bit more secure I think there are a couple of people that I got to know, that are kinda ex's you could say, who I would want in my life as friends now. The problem is I don't want to lead them on when I say 'lets get back in touch' but I don't want the first thing I say after a while is 'hey, long time, I'm in a relationship now, you good?' These were more along the FWB situations so normally a 'lets hang out' lead to more too... That's obviously not what I'm after, but I'm kinda wanting the friends part of that dynamic back... Don't want to lead anyone on when I ask to hang out though this time...
Is there the right time/way to tell these friends I'm not available anymore? Or do I keep them at bay after telling them straight?

POST: So recently a girl who I like has been asking to hang out and have coffee/lunch with me the past few weeks. I am almost certain she knows I like her as more than a friend and it feels like there is something between us when we are together.
I have very little experience with girls so didn't know if I am just picking up on friendly behaviour or if her asking to hang out alone with me meant anything more? Like I said, I am fairly sure she knows I like her, I try show my interest with flirting etc but haven't asked her out since I worry I have misread the situation. I feel like she wouldn't ask to hang out alone if she wasn't a little bit interested as she knows I like her.
So I was just looking for a second opinion on whether this was a sign of interest before I think about asking her out.

TITLE: TIFU By stealing a motorbike which I thought was mine.
POST: Picture this, I'm chilling at home the clock chimes 11 and I head out for a smoke and realise my motorbike had been stolen, they had cut through my chain and taken it, I last saw it about an hour before.
I did the normal protocol ( Called police ect) I'm used to doing this because this year alone I have had 3 bikes stolen. Before you all say I'm stupid and should have more security ; I honestly cant afford to do more considering I'm still paying off most of these bikes.
Anyway so fuelled by adrenaline I walked the streets to see if anybody was walking around with it, after about an hour. I saw a 16ish looking lad pushing a motorbike that matched the description of mine with his hood up. I ran over to him and shouted "ILL TAKE MY BIKE BACK" he shouted "FUCK YOU" and ran off. I picked the bike up took it into my garden (Key in the ignition). It wasn't mine but I assumed since the kid left it so easily he had stolen it. Reported to police...
This morning I called the police to get an update. Turns out the kid I took the bike off was the owner. What makes it even worse is his motorbike was ALSO stolen that night, and he had found it and was recovering it. I matched the description of the original Thief. He must have shit himself.
The kid has since picked up his bike from my house and I've given him the keys, but I'm at work Riddled with guilt that this young kid had had his bike stolen not once but twice.

POST: Earlier tonight, my older brother was drunk. He was visiting my university for a conference he was on and I was hanging out with him. Because he's unfamiliar with the area, I was walking him somewhere to get some food. On the way there, he's starting random fights. No one is saying anything to him and minding their own business. As I'm trying to calm him down he starts shoving me and smacking me in the face. He starts yelling at everyone in the vicinity and threatens everyone. He then continues to shove me so I punch him and defend myself. At the advice of the bystanders, I just walked away. I was sure that he was going to continue to try to fight me. He later calls me and tells me on the way back to the hotel he was staying at he was jumped three times and goes on to blame me for it and argues that I wasn't there to help protect him. I can honestly say that I don't regret any of the actions I took but that doesn't mean I was right in the way I handled things. Were there any other options I could have taken?

POST: Hello there people,
Today a friend asked me if I got time to hang out with him. I said 'No I don't want to today' as a joke but I followed it up with 'Wait please, I'll take a shower quick' so I thought he sees that I was just joking. When I was done and ready, 1 hour later, he said that he doesn't want. So, I asked another friend but he was busy. My other friends are studying/learning for their last big tests.
Now the thing is, I can remember when 2-3 years ago people here in my town liked me and would always talk or say 'Hello' to me on the streets. I got along very with other people here but mostly I just kept my best friends close to me although I don't hang out with them every day or many days a week, just sometimes right now.
I was able to talk to girls without any problems or I could just laugh together with other guys in my age. In the last few years I just backed off completely. I gained weight. I was weighing 117kg last year in march. That was the point when I told myself that I have to change something. I'm weighing 96kg right now and I'm about to get my prefered weight but I just don't know how to get back to where I was when it comes to having more friends.
I feel alone sometimes.

TITLE: How do I [21 M] win her [19 F] over?
POST: I got to know the most beautiful, modest, loyal & open-minded girl online.
We almost have everything in common, we did a lot of things together all the time and had so much fun.
There were a lot of signs that she's interested in me, she wanted to meet up, see pictures, loved to see when I message / invite her, etc.
1 month passes I found out that she actually is in a relationship (just for 2 weeks or something) but they keep it secret. Her boyfriend doesn't respect her privacy, is very controlling and possessive of her and guilttrips her everytime she's doing things where he's not included.
Now I talked to her about this and said that there were a lot of signs that she isn't happy in the relationship (didn't want to answer whether she's happy, "doesn't know what she's doing / what she wants", she even said that she might have made a mistake accepting him). I am so disappointed of myself that I didn't have the courage to ask her.
He asked her out before and she said no and a couple of months later he asked again and she "just said yes"
Now, her boyfriend is not social at all, so he is very attached & controlling of her and could not take losing her (I believe). She said that things are not going to change (she is probably afraid of leaving him so he doesn't get depressed).
It hurts me so much since I thought so much of a common future. Now what? Shall I just stay her friend? Use the "no contact" rule? Or just wait? Any advice appreciated

TITLE: I (27m) work with my ex (20f) and not sure how to be her boss at work.
POST: Me and my ex recently broke up this last week, we had been dating for 9months. I don't agree with the break up, but she doesn't think we have what it takes to be a long lasting relationship. In her opinion we are close and good friends, but not great friends. And we should end it now, instead of wasting time and breaking up eventually.
The problem is, I'm a team leader at our work and am technically one of her bosses. We work at a call center and she will sit and talk with coworkers when they should not be. They will sit in queues that prevent calls from coming in, or miss calls and not log back in. I don't know how to tell them to stop messing around at work without it seeming like I'm targeting her out of spite. I actively walk around and keep the other employees focused and working as well. But i feel like she thinks I'm being strict on her due to the break up or jealousy.
At this point I almost feel like I have to let her get away with stuff, so that she doesn't go to upper management and say I'm targeting her specifically.

TITLE: Is there anyway to solve this seemingly insurmountable problem with BF [27M] and I [23F]?
POST: This problem has been plaguing me for months and has caused me to start going to counseling.
Boyfriend of 2.5 years and I moved across the U.S. to his new base (military) 6 months ago. I quit my job to come, and expected to find a new one. Well it's been a few months and I still haven't, and it's become pretty apparent that I won't. And now that it's been so long since I left my previous job, it's close to impossible to get a job anywhere now ( my job requires currency). In the meantime, my savings is rapidly disappearing.
Here's the problem- My boyfriend signed up to date (and has proposed to) a girl that's well-employed, career driven, splits half our living costs, ect. Now that I am none of those I feel it's unfair to him and that I won't be viewed as an equal or respected in our relationship. So by committing fully to the relationship and coming here with him, I feel like I completely damned it. I have no idea what to do.

TITLE: Me [20 M] waiting to try and win back my ex [19 F]
POST: I've been in a relationship with my ex for 3 years and I want her back.
4 weeks ago, she broke things off for good after we got into an argument which involved my female friends who I have been in completely platonic and respectful friendships with. My ex never got to really get to know these friends as we were involved in a LDR for the past year and half which probably exacerbated the issue.
I talked to her last week to get closure, say a proper farewell and she told me that she has realized that I was manipulative. I was not and the examples she gave were taken out of context and grossly misinterpret the things I've said. She also said that our relationship was always in a cycle where one of us submitting to the other for a couple months before we switched places for the next couple months. She didn't explain this very well to me, but I again disagree with her assessment.
We have supported each other through a great deal in these past three years. Life has been extremely unfair and I am not exaggerating. I realize that we are young, but I would rather not intimidate you with a convincing essay to tell you why I truly believe we are meant to be together. Just know that, these last three months have been hell for both of us and it definitely took a toll on us. I believe that her current assessments of our relationship are misconstrued due to the emotional stress that she is continuing to deal with from other events in her life. We were really great together before and it really showed. We rarely got to hang out with friends together because she had to stay home a lot due to her situation at home and we were conservative about PDA, but everyone knew us as the couple that would get married. It was our every intention to get married.
My plan is to wait one more month before visiting her in person to try and win her back. I only recently stopped making any attempts to contact her as she has been requesting.
Does my plan sound reasonable or should I wait longer? Should I wait to see if she'll ever come around?

TITLE: How can I convince my BF to throw out all his useless stuff without being a naggy GF?
POST: Hey /r/self! Me and my lovely bf live together currently, but we are moving again in about a month. We are a college student and a recent grad respectively, but unlike most students (including me) he does not have a parent's house where some of his possessions are, so these are all his worldly possessions, and there's no where to store all the inconvenient stuff other than just letting it live in our apartment, untouched.
But that's sort of the problem. Over the course of our relationship, I have helped him move 3 times. And every single time I help him move, we spend hours moving things that have not even been looked at or touched since the *last* time I helped him move.
He insists that all of these things are important, when they are obviously not, he keeps them in broken, ugly plastic milk crate bins and they just take up space and waste our time and energy when we inevitably move them yet again.
How can I convince him to sit down with me so we can go through this stuff and throw out what's completely useless? What are the tactics for this? He gets so defensive when I suggest throwing these things out, because to him, I'm asking him to throw out all these things that are 'sentimental' or 'not useless' like old books that 'might be worth something' or a free frisbees from college, etc.

TITLE: [NSFW] What was the most emberassing moment of your life?
POST: When I was about 16, my ex girlfriend and I travelled a bit and took an overnight train somewhere. After having an argument and needing a bit of space, I decide to walk down to the other side of the train for a breather and some time to think.
Next thing I know, my stomach goes blurp blurp blurp and gives me one of those 10 second warnings to rush to the toilet. So I do. Well, this train was old, like ww2 old and the toilet sink turns on with a mechanism where you step on this lever and water runs out. There wasn't much space in there and it was damn dirty and the floor reeked of piss and was wet, so when getting on the shitter I didn't want my pants and boxers remotely touching the floor. I put my pants and boxers on the sink that was dry. After all hell broke lose from my asshole and a sharp pain in my stomach, finally I can get the fuck out of here and get a REAL breather. As I get up I accidentally step on the lever for the sink and all my clothes get wet including my phone that now wont turn on.
I was like fuck, what do I do? Just walk out in soaking wet clothes and walk all the way to the other side of the train to get my dry clothes? So I just stood there for what felt like a few hours thinking of everything from my impending doom to what an idiot I am and to what I could've done differently.
Eventually my ex found me and said "Dude. You've been gone over an hr, is everything OK?" So I explained to her what happened and she went and got me some clothes. When I got out it was pretty much her snickering and me sitting in silence for the rest of the trip.

TITLE: [16/M] How to act with my friend [16/F] I made out with? I'll explain inside
POST: So I have this friend, we'll call her Sophie. We talk every so often but don't really connect much and that's why I haven't had feeling for her before. She is really nice though, pretty and good to talk to but I just haven't had the chance to hang around with just the two of us.
So we went to a party, right from the start she was hugging me and flirting - she got drunk quite early and later on I was also. We layed down next to eachother, spoke for a bit then made out a couple of times. We spent the night hugging, and made out a few more times. Generally just relaxing and it was really nice. I think she was sober by the time I left, I kissed her goodnight and left. It was kindof like I was in a relationship with her that night.
So I hung out with my friends today, and she was there but refused to give me eye contact and didn't really want to continue conversation with me. I thought we could just carry on as usual but I guess she feels awkward about what happened. Now I do like her a little because of what happened, but I don't really know her well because I've never really spoke to her much.
I don't know how to sort this out. I don't know whether to talk to her about it, because it could make it even worse, or just leave it and try to act normal. We have another party in a week so I atleast want to be able to speak to her.

POST: I guess some back story about how our friendship is. We met about a year ago in our algebra 2 class and we sorta worked up our friendship throughout the year (I was a huge introvert who basically had no friends and hardly talked to anyone in school) it started off with her asking for my help in the class since she had trouble understanding what exactly the teacher was saying, so I basically played as her tutor for the entire year and then we started hanging out outside of school that summer and got to know each other really well. like we found out that we were born in the same hospital only a week apart (she calls me a baby since she's older and I call her a grandma since she played a grandma for acting) I got to know her family and her mother recently came out and told me that out of all of her friends I was her favorite. (I tend to help them around doing lawnwork since her dad isn't around that often as he travels for work) honestly at first I was just happy to have made a great friend but as I hung out with her more I noticed all the great things about her. She has a fantastic personality and is incredibly fun to be around, she's beautiful, can act,sing, play piano, and is a amazing artist. We're kind of opposites in the way that she's really loud and outgoing but I'm really quiet and am a bit less engaging then her.I really like her but I'm not sure if I should ask her out, mainly because I'm a little scared that if I do it might change the way we act around eachother and I don't really want that.

TITLE: Putting instincts back into desensitized animals
POST: Hey Reddit,
Today when I got home from work, there was a little rabbit to the side of my parking spot. I go to school in a city where what 'wildlife' is there is pretty desensitized. I pulled up to the rabbit, maybe within a foot or two, swing my door open, (maybe within a few inches of the rabbit,) and it doesn't even flinch.
Here's where I got to thinking: The rabbit has clearly lost it's instincts, (or some of them.) I was wondering if it's better to ignore the rabbit, act like it's not there, (being in it's close proximity, further desensitizing it,) or to scare it. I'm wondering if scaring it would help, even the tiniest amount, to fight the loss of instincts, and help it be better prepared to deal with whatever predators it sees in the 'wild'.
Granted, either action will likely make little difference in the life of the rabbit, unless I give it a heart attack or something.
Just curious on everyone's thoughts on that.
TL;DR: . Assistant:
|
Is scaring a rabbit that has been desensitized by city life good, because it helps a rabbit regain it's instincts, or is it bad, just because you're being mean to a helpless little rabbit?

TITLE: I (20f) and the guy I've been seeing ( 28m) seem to have different ideas on dating. I'm not sure how to work with it.
POST: So I met this new guy on okcupid. Been seeing him for a little over a month. He's clearly quite a bit older than I and far more experienced than i. He says he wants something serious and to settle down, thing is, he has this very odd view on dating that I just can't sync up with.
Here it is: He refuses to consider it a relationship until 3 months in, not so bad, BUT during that first three months, it's okay to see other people amd go on dates with other people and who knows what. He still considers this monogamy.
Thing is, I can't tell if I'm comfortable with that. I don't casually date. And because of that, I can't really get myself to want to meet anyone much otherwise. I mean he has caught my interest and I really like getting to know him.
Is this just a dude trying to be a player? How do i tell him this whole ordeal makes me uncomfortable without seeming like I want this new guy to be my boyfriend?
It's really killing my self esteem. He's made comments about how he doesn't know about dating me because i'm too young and I'm "not nerdy enough" which I think is absolute bullshit and i have no idea what to do with it.
Also, I feel like after seeing someone for a month you at least decide if they have your attention by then, right?

Yesterday we got into an argument and she repeatedly hit me in the face, I hugged her, she stooped. She wanted to leave I didn't want her to, then she kept hitting me and I slapped her. Then she realized she left me my face bruised up and a bleeding nose and she was very sorry.
there was alcohol involved in all of this fights.
Later on today, she has been asking me to go and see her.

TITLE: TIFU by trying to change my computer's wallpaper
POST: Earlier today I was sitting in a college lecture with my laptop open. I decided I was tired of my usual background and was going to change it to my favorite sport team's logo. The picture I wanted was in the "my pictures" folder.
Now let's go back a little bit.
First or second night of the fappening (may it rest in peace) and I download the Kate Upton and j law pictures and just to be quick about it, I put it in "my pictures" with the intent on moving it later. I forgot to move them...
Now back to today in the lecture, I went to change the background, clicked "my pictures" and it automatically expected that I wanted to have it cycle through every picture in that folder. My background fades into a picture of a close up of Kate Upton's tits. I panic and just freeze trying to figure out if there was a quick undo I could do, but in my panic, I forgot what cancel meant. So I just shut my laptop and pretended nothing happened... I was surrounded by people, no one said anything but someone had to have seen.

TITLE: How do you know what "vibe" you're giving off?
POST: I'm a generally friendly person and I get bored at school, so I like to have conversations with people. However, more often than not, I don't want to date the person or even hang out with them in "real life". I am very particular about the people I want to be friends with or date and I'm very observent of people's behavior and know fairly quickly what sort of relationship I'd want with the person. I can have a great conversation and have a lot in common with the person but feel no burning desire to hang out with them outside of a school setting. My problem is that a lot of the time people seem to misunderstand my intentions and mistake my friendly behavior as being interested in them (guys) or wanting to hang out with them. Personally, I get **really** irked if a person I talk to assumes that I'm interested in them and tries to pursue me, as a result of their pursuit, I usually end up avoiding them or ignoring them. Am I just being weird? If so, how do I fix it? and how do I know what "vibe" I'm giving off? So I can be more careful in the future.

POST: This morning I bought a really cool letter-press made card with an otter on it. I knew it was a card but I bought it to cut the front off and frame for my apartment because my girlfriend and I love otters. I left it sitting out on the table hoping that when she got home before me she'd notice it and see what great taste in decoration I have. So later when I got home I asked if she'd seen the card and she said yes and asked if I'd read the inside of the card and if it was for her. I said no and that it was to cut up and put on the wall. Turns out the inside of the card reads "I love you like no otter" and she was mildly disappointed that it wasn't specifically for her.

POST: We've been engaged for going on a year now, been together for 5 years. Im at work while she asked me to look up something on facebook. I forgot that she was using my phone earlier to log into Facebook because she couldn't find hers.
So I go to the search bar and click on it to type in the friends name for the status she wanted me to read. Low and behold it shows that she looked up two guys yesterday that she had past one night stands with (well more or less booty calls ). I know this because we've both been very open about our past to each other.
So I let my anger get the best of me and I confront her immediately through text. I ask her what she is doing on facebook and what's the reason that she is looking up these two guys. After much texting back and forth I get the bullshit answer that she was just nosey. I told her we'll talk about it when we get home.
I get home and the conversation practically boils down to as previously that she was just "nosey" about what they're up to. I was told that it shouldn't really bother me and that I should be "cool" about the whole thing.
Well im not fucking "cool" about it. I feel hurt and angry and jealous and confused all at the same time. I want to know why and nosey is an answer that just doesn't cut it for me. And on top of that, she claims that she looks at the one guys profile all the time because she grew up with the family during her childhood and she's seeing if any pictures were posted of them.
Im not okay with this at all, I feel that there is something more. Maybe im looking into this too much but id like any insight that you guys can have for me.
Thanks!

POST: Me [27M] and my girlfriend [25F] have been together for over 4 years. Things have been rocky sometimes, but overall pretty good. She decides 3 months ago to "take a break" so she can figure some things out. I try to be supportive, we set boundaries, and she does her thing. Needless to say, boundaries have been broken and now I have trust issues.
Fast forward to last night. I have decided I am no longer interested in this "taking a break" state. I have been very unhappy during these last 3 months due to broken boundaries. I tell her this. Instead of breaking up, she wants to go to relationship counseling. I agree that I would give this a shot but that I require the following:
- She stop sleeping with him
- She break contact with him
She thinks this is unreasonable because I don't trust her. Her logic is that if she stops sleeping with him, I might not believe her, so she should just sleep with him. She also will not cut ties with him because he is the only person at her work that is near her age and she is friends with (NOTE: coworkers was one of those boundaries I asked for because of the complication is causes, she broke this boundary).
Am I being unreasonable by asking these things?

TITLE: Me [20 F] text with a guy [24 M] giving mixed signals?
POST: So, I'm a bit confused in my situation right now. I'm a college student and I am not looking for a long term relationship and I'm just having a bit of fun right now meeting new people.
About a month ago I met this guy and we hit it off pretty well. We had a bunch of the same interests and he was really into me and we started flirting a bit. I give him my number and we text on and off for the next few weeks, and it went very well.
Then suddenly, he stopped texting me and after a few days he said he apologized since he was busy. I told him it wasn't a big deal and to just reply to my texts whenever he wanted. During the next two weeks were dead week and finals week for both him and me in college so I understand why we didn't talk as much.
I was busy studying and he was busy so we barely talked but we would sent random snapchats once in awhile. However, now we have finished finals and now he never texts me or replies to my snapchats, he only replies to me if I message him on snapchat. However our conversations are short but it seems he still enjoys talking to me. He is almost always the first one to see my snapchat stories as well, I'm unsure if that makes a difference.
I would text him once every few days, just to talk about whats going on and I wouldn't get any replies, then I messaged him on snapchat and I asked why he only snapchats instead of texting and he replies almost immediately and says he's been ignoring everyone and all his messages, not just me personally. He reassured me by saying he still wants to hangout and that he wouldn't ditch me but I'm wondering what is up and I'm wondering if I did something wrong?
Maybe he actually isn't that interested, should I just wait for him to talk to me and get on with my life? I know I shouldn't worry about it too much but I'm curious about his attitude. What advice do you have or what would you do? I'm not too committed I would just like a guy's POV for this sort of situation.

TITLE: Having a Hard Time...
POST: I'm sure that this post has happened a million times in this subreddit but I am feeling very confused. I am a 30 year old male who has been with the same woman for 10 years (her 41 female). At first we had a very active sex life )I met her when I was 20 and didn't have a lot of experience.) About 5 years in, I began to chat with other women and it lead to a few full fledged affairs that continued for the remainder of the relationship. There is a certain part of me that loves the woman she is but I do not really think that i'm "IN" love, and haven't felt attracted to her for a number of years.
Recently we decided to take a break(I was more or less caught flirting with another woman), and she has gone to stay with her sister while I try and work out my feelings. When I come home at night I find myself missing her sitting there, and feeling bad about being unfaithful.
Is this what happens when you break up with someone (I know that question really sounds naive)? I love her being around the way you liked your college room mate but I find myself satisfied that im out of the relationship. Does this confusion end? I guess the moral is that i'm quite confused and am hoping to hear from someone who maybe has been through this? I feel like this time, maybe I can change, but in my heart I feel like that is not the answer? Sorry for the rambling, ask any questions, provide any answers, thanks in advance.

TITLE: LDR question - How often should you stay home to talk to your SO?
POST: Hi Reddit,
I'm a 20F who's been dating a 21M for over a year.
My boyfriend and I are currently in a quasi-long-distance relationship. We live relatively near each other, but my parents are unsupportive of the relationship (for various reasons)… So the time we can spend together is extremely limited. In fact, the majority of the time we "spend together" is online, like most LDR couples.
Let me start off by saying that I'm extremely supportive of my boyfriend spending time with his friends. I've learned over the years that time apart is necessary for a happy, healthy relationship. When he tells me he's going out and getting offline, I'm all smiles, and I send him off with a big "Hope you have fun tonight!" I'm all for independence, I really am. I'm not one of those girlfriends who expects their boyfriend to drop everything they're doing to come talk to me.
But the thing is, he goes out every single night…without fail. He's gone from around dinner time to 3-4AM. He sleeps all day, wakes up at around 4-5PM, we talk or hang out (if possible) for around an hour, and then he leaves again to go out with friends.
Every time I try talking about it, he gets extremely riled up. So I just ended up giving up on discussing the issue. But yeah, the other day, when I had a horrible, horrible day and wanted to talk to him for a while, I just acted a little sad that he was leaving, and even then he started getting angry.
I presume that this is an issue that at least some LDR couples go through. Is this something that I simply have to get over? Am I acting selfish / spoiled for wanting him to stay in once in a while?

TITLE: I [18/F] am in a very weird relationship with my friend [18/M] right now...
POST: Me and him started out as friends, then it became a little bit more.
A bit of background information about myself. I do not want to enter into romantic relationships, ever. I want to remain friends with him, and that is my final resolve. However, at my age, of course, I want to have sex.
Last night was the first time we "slept" together. No, we did not have sex; we simply slept in the same bed while hugging each other I suppose. Yes, why indeed did I allow this to happen if I want to remain friends with him... Well to be truthful, the whole time, my mind was on sex. I wanted him to touch me. The problem is, I feel like he wants more than a casual "friends with benefit" relationship. He was extremely careful not to touch me unless I implied that it was ok. I don't believe I have actual romantic feelings for him because my genitalia seems to be the only thing dictating my actions.
Baseline is, I want to remain friends with my male friend but my hormones are leading him on. I want to have sex, but he thinks otherwise.
What the fuck do I do.

TITLE: My [25F] younger sister [23F] has taken the exact same path as me since HS and it's stressing me out. Should this affect my career choice?
POST: One of my sisters has chosen the exact same path as me as far as school and career are concerned since high school. I don't know why it bothers me, but it seriously does. Over the course of four years, she picked the exact same electives that I had taken in HS, in the order that I took them. When I was in college, I was shocked to hear that she had chosen the exact same major as me. It's a professional major, so it's quite a specific and unique field. She asks for my notes and has tried to duplicate my college projects.
I don't know why but it seriously bothers me. Part of me feels that she's not giving me the space and independence I want to have as an individual within the family (Edit for clarity: independence in the sense that I can make independent decisions, without factoring in another family member). She also tends to want to engage in technical conversations, which I do not want to do. I feel unable to make any major career decisions without factoring her in at this point. I am currently applying to graduate school programs, and part of my rationale for choosing the program that I have chosen is the fact that she probably won't be going in this direction. I don't like the field very much

POST: My pregnant girlfriend says I do not care about her and all this other stuff. Yet I do everything possible that I can. Right now I am inbetween jobs, So I am putting in effort into learning things for my career because I have enough money saved up until I go back to college and work.
Everything I do does not seem to be good enough. I do not want to have sex with her because she refuses to talk to me about things that matter to me. Will not and I mean absolutely will not talk to me about things that bother me. Yet she wants me to listen to her gossip about co workers and things of that nature. I absolutely do not care about gossip.
I told her she does not make me feel romantic and she says fine then. I told her what she has to do to make me want to have sex more and does not want to put forth the effort into making me feel sexual. I can't have sex unless I feel appreciated. (not common for a guy) She just expects me to be sexual 100% of the time and I am not.
She yells at me for not doing things with her kids, Yet She has not once taken them out by herself since we have been together. I have around 1-3 times a week taken them to do something. The kids are her sisters and not biologically hers. Their mother is a junkie.
I am about to have a child with this women. Should I back out and just try to do my part as much as I can from the sidelines, Try to get custody and raise the kid. Help please.

TITLE: I [20m] can't seem to get rid of my ex-friends[20sM/F] from my life after my former suicide attempts
POST: I can't seem to get rid of several people I've basically cut out from my life after an issue that's been ongoing for the past couple of years.I'm a junior in uni,
and freshman and sophomore year I tried to kill myself after being with depression for the better part of my entire life. I failed with both attempts, and after
the second I basically gave up on the idea of killing myself so I just kinda live and go to school.
Well, it's approaching the end of junior year and my ex-friends have been getting fairly intrusive in my life. I figured out why a couple of weeks ago, and I told them very plainly sent them a mass text that told them that I was
fine and they needed to drop it. They ignored my wishes and kept trying to interact with me. About 2 weeks ago I told them that I was done, and I didn't want to see them
ever again. I said some nasty shit but it seemed to work and most of them gave up at the time.
Fast forward to now, and the same shit has started up again. They're texting and messaging like we're still friends and nothing ever happened. Most people would be like "cool,
my friends listened it's ok now", but what they did just irritated me even more. I invited over the defacto coordinator of my friends to tell her to butt out. I forgot that I was
in the process of moving and she noticed, she asked, and I slipped and said I was moving. Now I can't get them from subtley trying to ascertain where I'm moving too.
Should I just block them and ignore them? It's hard for me to just ignore blatant ignorances, but would it be better? I want them to understand that I don't want to deal with them,
and it's not some plea for attention.

TITLE: How can I (30) tell my husband (29) that I'm no longer attracted to him and I'm not satisfied sexually?
POST: He's always been a big guy, and when we first started dating it wasn't really an issue. I was so in love and blind to all of his physical characteristics that his size didn't bother me. We've been married now for 6 years and the blinders have come off a bit. I still love him a great deal but I'm just not attracted to him anymore. He doesn't take care of himself. He doesn't shower enough, dresses like a hobo and eats like crap. I get kind of disgusted by him and I feel awful about it because I really do love the person he is on the inside.
What's bothering me most is our sex life. I'm horny all the time, just not for him, and I'm starting to notice other men and that scares me. I want to be attracted to him and do all the kinky stuff I have in my head but I look at him and am so turned off. That, and his size makes sex very difficult so we've resorted to just using our hands and oral. It is so unsatisfying.
He is a *very* sensitive guy and I'm understanding of it and I don't want to hurt him but something has to change. He's noticed a difference in me and my lack of affection/desire but when he asks me about it I just blame it on something else. I have talked with him before about how sexy it'd be if he got in shape a little. I told him we could start eating right/working out together. I try to be as compassionate as possible but he either gets horribly offended and withdrawals from me or exercises for a day and then goes back to his old ways.
What can I do? It's getting serious and I don't know how much longer I can be with a person that I find so repulsive. I know everyone will tell me to just be blunt and tell him how I feel, but it's not that easy. He's had a rough life that I won't get into (unless someone is interested of course) and i can't hurt his feelings like that. I just can't.

TITLE: I (28f) think he (28m) is going to end it just because I was too touchy in public with him. Any way I can save this?
POST: We've been dating a month and a half. Everything was going great until last weekend. I guess I was touching him too much, according to him. I thought it was normal for new couples to have regular contact but he's from a country where men are really expected to chase the woman and the woman is expected to resist. I told him on Wednesday when we talked about it that I won't do it again, but I'm afraid the damage has been done. He went out of town this week. I did not attempt to contact him. He texted me this morning and it seemed very cold. He always calls me "beautiful girl" when he texts me and today he called me by my name. And he didn't give any kiss signals and it felt very unromantic. I told him I couldn't meet today (we made plans before with his roommate but i thought I should give him space) but that I could on Wednesday. I think he is going to end it. I'm just wondering how I can tell him to just relax and that it's not serious. I'm just trying to get to know his boundaries. What's my best bet? Should I be really flirty when I see him so that he feels excitement? Should I act aloof? Should I kiss him when we meet like we always have?

TITLE: Not sure where this is going (first post, please help!)
POST: So here's some background:
I, a 23F, have been seeing a 24M for a few months now. He's not a very social guy and suffers from depression occasionally, so has to take pills to help him.
He claims to find it stressful to participate in social situations, but he seems to be fine with me.
Anyway, at the very beginning he was more into me than I was into him, but over time I've warmed to him and I really like this guy. However his behavior is very strange sometimes. We see each other every week (apart from this week) and he usually comes round, hangs out, and sometimes we have sex. He seems to really be into me but he claims to not want to make things official.
The confusing thing is all his actions prove otherwise, he casually dropped into convo that he was my boyfriend. And generally being intimate and affectionate when ever we're together. And the other week he mumbled "why have you made me love you" while we were drinking. But now he says I want more than what he does. I just don't get it because up until now, he's been more into me than I have been into him. He says he enjoys being with me, but doesn't want to be my boyfriend. He says he's still into me though, I just don't get it!
Can someone help me decipher this? I know it probably seems obvious and stupid. Is he scared of making things official or something? Or maybe his anti-depressants are screwing with his emotions. Or is he just testing the waters a bit more.
What shall I do? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

TITLE: Am I being overly stereotypical/judgmental?
POST: First, my apologies if this isn't really the proper forum for this question as it isn't regarding an already established relationship but rather the prospects of one.
Male, 24 - subject in question is Female, 23. It is someone who works in my company and we've chatted a little bit (do not see each other very often), she friended me on Facebook but we haven't talked outside of work (she started several months ago). Couple discussions about music and maybe finding a good show, but nothing panned out.
Part of me trepidation, and the reason for my asking of advice, is she appears to be devoutly religious. Facebook is somewhat littered with various quotes from the Bible and giving thanks to the Lord etc. She reads her Bible at work. Myself and my group of friends are very much at the other end of the spectrum and on a weekend party we are often doing drinking games and then heading to some bars...generally getting rowdy. I know that being religious doesn't equate to being overly conservative/prud'ish but I have to play the odds it seems...
She asked if anything was going on this Saturday -am I setting myself up for a disaster by inviting her to a party? I've dealt with some very religious people and have often not meshed with their perspective on things but am I going overboard with my trepidation?

TITLE: Does learning change your brain?
POST: I don't want to get into a major philosopical/scientific debate. What I want to know is your personal opinion and experience.
One of my lecturer says that our brain changes the more we study. If we keep on studying, we will be able to learn new things faster and be able to absorb more information. For example if someone is bad at biology and they put the time and effort in. Eventually they will master it and learn new topics quicker then they did at the start.
I'm hoping that is true. I just started college and I am finding it difficult. I can change my study techniques and I am willing to put in effort and the time. However what worries me is that I am in my first year. If I am struggling at this level what will happen in my 2nd,3rd or 4th year? I fear the years of not doing anything but be lazy and watch tv might have taken its toll on my brain. My brain after a while stops absorbing new information and I get a headache.
Either way I'm going to spend the next 8 months treating my class like a full time job.

Suddenly, the lights just go out and I'm sat there, arm outstretched in the pitch black of my bathroom for about 5 seconds. My initial thought is "I have no idea where anything is, and everyone else is asleep, this is going to suck". Then some five seconds later the lights come back on, and with them I hear alarms. They're not that far away, I'd say they're just at the end of my road and now I'm sat here thinking "what the hell are alarms going off for?" there must have been three or four alarms going off. So just as I'm calming down, my douche-bag brain throws an image of X-Com; Enemy Unknown's thin men into my brain, running down my street shooting cars causing alarms to go off. Now I'm in a panic, I don't dare move unless those creepy aliens hear me and come after me. In the end I just return to washing my hair, because who wants to die with bad hair?

TITLE: Me [21 M] with my girlfriend [22F] of 2 months, mild ex problems.
POST: Last night my ex (who of which broke up with me a year ago and in somewhat neutral terms) has been texting me quite a bit more since my current relationship began. My ex invited me to a party but I declined. She then mentioned how she missed being able to call me at 5am to talk about any problems and such. Most of this she texted to me at 5am.
I don't really know what to say to my ex. She mentioned that she doesn't want to intrude, and I understand that. But I don't think it's necessary to cut ALL contact from her, it would hurt her if I refused to speak with her at all.
I showed my girlfriend the text messages she sent. I was not going to hide this, she has every right to know. My GF was really hurt and pissed off at her, explaining how disrespectful it is because my ex was being very personal to me especially that she messaged me so late.
So now I'm in the kitchen alone 4 hours after I showed her the messages. I asked my GF if she was feeling better, she isn't. I'm giving her a little space at the moment while she sleeps so hopefully it helps. She's being very distant both physically and emotionally. It's hurting me too. Advice?

TITLE: When do I give up on a girl and how do I get over her?
POST: 25/M I've got a problem. I'm in love with my best friend 25/F, we work together and I want to be with her. I'm a 6'5 250 pound (currently working on that I've lost 120 lbs since May) black dude with no self esteem, 25 still live at home and watches Power Rangers and she's a punk girl with tattoos and piercings. She's my only friend and the only one I can be myself around (she accepts me for me) but it's the friend zone to the max. I have to hear about her ex boyfriends and her sex life. When we go out to a bar she'll literally talk about how she wants to hook up with the bartender.
I feel like it's a one sided friendship sometimes because when we go out for lunch or drinks 90% of the time I end up paying even though I have no money and will literally go negative in my bank account, because if I ask her to go she'll say she has no money and when I say I'll pay she'll go. When we go to her favorite dive bar and she sees one of her friends there she'll invite them or they invite themselves to sit with us and she'll talk to them for the night leaving me as the 3rd wheel. This Friday I gave her $250 worth of vinyl records as a Christmas present and she I think she might have said "thank you". Then said she was going record shopping with some guy in the morning.
Without sounding sappy I've never felt this way about a girl before she treats me like a human being while everyone else in my world and life treats me like crap. I can never tell her how I feel because I feel like she'll never talk to me again and seeing her at work every day when she sits 10 feet away would kill me. I don't know what to do to get over her, I'm going to therapy for that and many other issues and that's not helping. The only time I'm happy is when I'm with her but we never get to hang out because someone or thing will interrupt it. She completes me and I don't know what to do.

POST: We've been together about a year. Around the 3-month mark, I was staying somewhere with friends, including a very short-term ex (who happens to be a male), and one night, I woke up to him holding me and trying to do something sexual.
I know it was wrong of me to not push him off, but I was a pussy and didn't want to hurt his feelings (we were still friends), so after a long time of him wanting to get something, my biological instincts responding positively (I was hard), I muttered, "go for it" and he blew me.
I told my girlfriend the next day and she later told me she cried twice after we hung up. But after lots of apologizing and even the guy consoling me, saying he abused(/lightly raped???) me, she forgave me and our relationship was fine again, around two weeks later.
But a month after the incident, my girlfriend broke up with me, and I asked if it had to do with the incident and she said she's not sure. But she wanted to keep in touch and a few weeks later, we're back together.
But now, I'm considering breaking up with her (oh god it'll be tough), but because she forgave me for the incident, I'd feel horrible to end it. But it'd be beneficial for her, too, I think she's just too afraid of losing me to break up with me.

Sure enough, I hear it close behind me and panic sets in. Most doors have a lever on the inside to deal with this specific situation. This door had one that was not functional. It was later explained to me that you pretty much have to run full force into the door to get it to pop open.
Anyways, after 10 minutes (maybe? time's funny when you're trapped in a signal-less box), one of the cooks came by and opened the door. Luckily for me, food was arriving this day (at this time specifically). Had it not been, it would have been 4 or 5 hours before someone MIGHT have come by.

POST: I've posted here before regarding the fact I caught my bf cheating on me once in the past with a friend at my house when we were all drunk and they thought I was asleep in the next room. We decided to try and fix things from there but I started to snoop on him and found he liked to fap to loads of weird stuff. But what irked me was he fapped to girls Facebook photos. He explained that this is normal and its meaningless. We had a talk about it and I said I was okay with it as long as it wasn't over the girl he cheated with or any of my family members.
We just had a lovely fifth of November and he bought loads of fireworks. He held my hand while we watched them and he bought me a bunch of sparklers to hold while he sorted each firework out. Then he bought me a takeaway and said I could hang at his for the night. When he went to the bathroom I snooped at his history and yep...in amongst a bunch of porn sites I could see he'd been on my sisters profile. I'm pretty certain he was fapping to her because why else would he look at her pictures in the middle of a fapping session? When he came downstairs I told him I was tired and going home and just rushed straight out. I'm so upset. We had such a lovely night and I finally felt like things were going to be okay. I don't know what to do from here.
Is this normal? What should I do? I am so upset. I think he has a porn addiction. He's not a bad person I think he just has issues.

TITLE: Free Leftovers? Nope!
POST: So i used to work in a little store in our local mall that made flavored popcorn (you know kettle corn, caramel, etc.). Every time the mall closes we clean up the store and empty out the popcorn machines, we get stragglers who walk around and occasionally ask if they can have a free bag of popcorn, usually because they're with their friends and want to impress them with their swag.
This one day my boss and I were cleaning out and this hefty woman shuffles up to us like she owns the store. Granted, the gate was drawn down, but she still looked through the cracks at the menu as if a closed gate wasn't enough to keep her from getting what she wanted. My boss looked at here and politely asked if he could help her.
"Yeah, you guys got samples?" she asked with an authoritative tone.
"Not at the moment, ma'am, all we have is old popcorn from the cracks." he responded politely.
"What? Y'all can't gimme dat?" she asked with a huff.
"no ma'am."
She began to spout off about how it was *our* job to satisfy her in any means necessary, no matter what. So of course, she demanded to speak to the manager. My boss said "i'm the manager." She wasn't satisfied. "Alright then, lemme call corporate."
My boss handed her one of our holiday pamphlets with the store number right on the back. Granted, this is a small business, so we don't have "corporate." She began to walk away as she dialed the number on the phone. Suddenly, the phone in our store rang. My boss picked it up and very politely answered it, all while staring at her with a smile. The woman turned around and gave us the meanest death glare before thundering off.
We talked about how cool that was for the rest of the night.

TITLE: I [30 M] just don't know what to do anymore. Can't breakup with my grieving GF [26] of 2 years, in love with someone else, haven't told anyone and can't even talk to anyone
POST: Ok, there's a lot going on here.
I'm starting to wonder if I ever really loved my girlfriend. We just started hooking up and we're both "nice" people so it just grew from that. It is an "ok" relationship, functional and mature but there's never been much chemistry. I just feel like it's run it's course and we're not a good long term fit for living together/marriage/kids etc..
I'm only really thinking about this because we've actually been quite close for the last year because her father was ill. Being supportive was the right thing to do and it's actually an easy role to do for someone you care about. He died recently and we can once again focus on each other but I find myself not really reentering the relationship or being particularly happy in the relationship.
At the same time, I've fallen in love with a new friend of a friend. We spend a lot of time together and I just click with her. She's amazing. I know she's not perfect and no one is but I can't help feeling this way (I'm not one to easily fall in love). I find myself smiling when I just think of her and she's always on my mind. I don't know how she feels at all (she's single but it's complicated) and I would never cheat on my girlfriend.
My girlfriend is still sort of recovering from her grieving process and with the holidays coming I feel like I'm trapped. I want to break up with her and I don't feel like I can as it would be so much more painful to her now. On the other hand, I feel awful that every minute I'm with her I'd rather be with this other girl or even alone.
What should I do? I feel like I can't tell anyone because all my friends know at least one of the people. I don't want to break up with my girlfriend so soon after her father dying but I feel horrible that I love someone else and I'm not interested anymore.

TITLE: What's the worst event/series of events that happened to you that led to the most positive outcome?
POST: In 2009 I was living in florida (I'm from the Midwest) and dating a girl. I planned to ask her to marry me. We were on our way to go on a boat ride a few hours north where I would propose. Exactly halfway between our home and the spot my truck died (the radiator blew) and we were stuck on the roadside for a few hours until a friend came and drove us the rest of the way. We went on our boat ride and she said yes. A month later I was fired from my job. I went home and had a party I had planned a few weeks ago. The next morning she broke up with me and went back to her home in Wisconsin. I drove to my familial home in Iowa to collect myself and get on track. A few weeks later I woke up to find that my dog (my best friend for several years) was unable to walk. He had a spinal embolism and would be unable to walk the remainder of his life. I made the toughest decision of my life and had him put down. I spent a few months working on my family's farm in Iowa. I then went to see my parents for Christmas in MA. I met an amazing women (my younger brothers best friend) and fell in love.
That was three years ago. Today she is three weeks from graduating college, I have a fantastic job, and we are planning to be married.
I can't help but feel that if the radiator hadn't blown I wouldn't be here today.

TITLE: Should you break up once the high of love fades away? Gf [21F] near 2 years, tells Me [22M] I should.
POST: My Gf tells me that she knows that I'm not in love with her because I don't show it to her, and that we should break up because it's hurting her. She is right, I've barely done a thing to show her I am.
Now, the thing is that I'm sure that I began the relationship loving her, I still think that she is perfect in every way, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but she says that I'm only fooling myself saying all that? we've been fighting a lot lately, she's not happy in the relationship and I think it's my fault for not paying much attention to her.
We fought tonight, now I ask myself, Do I love her? if I need to ask does that means I'm not? then what? why do I like her so much then? why do I want to spend the rest of my life with her? why is this happening, and how can I fix this?
How can I make her feel so loved that this won't ever happen again?

TITLE: Me (22f) and boyfriend (21m) of 7 years moving in together for the first time across country
POST: My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 years this November. We've been together since we were 14 and 15 and have never broken up. I would have liked to live together already at this point, but his parents have a rule that we cannot get engaged, married, or live together while he's in college.
He's just about to start his senior year of college and he's already got job interviews lined up for the west coast. He would like to work on the East or West coast while I'm hoping for West. We currently live in the Midwest (USA) but in separate houses. We're both concerned that because we've never lived together a move across the country to live together might break our relationship. I suggested that we do couples counseling. I have been in therapy personally for my own issues for about a year and have found it very helpful. We've had big fights in the past where I've brought up couples counseling, but he doesn't want to go because he feels uncomfortable with it and thinks we can fix our problems ourselves.
I think it would be beneficial to do preventative couples counseling for this school year before we make the big move. He seems slightly more open to it than he has before because he's concerned as well and feels unprepared for the future. We have been through so much together and we're on the same page about big things like religion and children. We have a very solid foundation and there is so much love between us. We just want to be as prepared as possible so that our relationship flourishes when we move in together for the first time.
My question is has anybody gone through something similar and what would you recommend for us to be successful? Do you think couples counseling is a good idea for us? Please share your experiences and any advice you have! Thank you very much.

TITLE: My[22 M] S.O.[23 F] of a few months is not very open with how she feels about me.
POST: I like showing my affection. Through words and actions. I've never been with a girl who wasn't as open as I am with my feelings.
My current S.O. is pretty much the opposite. She rarely states her feelings for me in anyway, especially unprovoked. If I flirt with her or compliment her or anything like that, it's almost as if it makes her uncomfortable. It's to the point where I don't really feel comfortable calling her by a dumb pet name or even saying she's pretty.
I know people show how they feel differently, which is why I've been giving her time - I'm hoping that maybe she just needs extra time to be accustomed to me? I really don't know. This is completely foreign to me.
I really like her. And I *think* she likes me, but honestly it's so hard to tell. I don't want to make her sound like an emotionless person. We have a lot of fun together. It just feels like there's some weird gap between us.
I'm currently adopting the "wait and see" method to give her more time to get comfortable with me. I just want to know if anyone has experience with this and if I am doing the right thing. I don't want to have to have some weird "you're not showing me that you like me enough" conversation.
Many thanks. And sorry if this is super vague. Let me know if I can clear anything up.

TITLE: TIFU by going ape shit at 3 am.
POST: Now, the whole story requires some explanation, so bear with me.
My next door neighbors have servants (slightly low paid butlers/maids, without all the etiquette butlers/maids usually have), which outnumber the occupants of the house in a ratio of 1:3. The servants live in their own quarters, which are an extension of the house. The problem is that their quarters are right in front of my window, and if i was crazy enough I could easily jump the gap in between.
Here's where the problem begins. They got two new dogs (male and female). And they're living right where the servants are. Naturally, they engage in loud, dog sex for a better part of the night.
Along with that, they also got a new radio, which is on full blast all night long.
The worst part is that the servants have a tendency to fight at night. They yell, hit each other with sticks, and eventually become friends and make up. And by make up I mean they engage in some really freaky, loud sex. Sometimes when the radio is on, sometimes when the dogs are doing it, sometimes when all three are taking place at the same time. They get so loud that I have trouble hearing music through my headphones.
Now that I've gone through the explanation, let me tell you what happened. I had a maths exam the following morning, and I was trying to concentrate and study. Naturally, I was in a bad mood. And that's when they start with the lovemaking. Oh god, they even broke a washing machine during all that, and soon enough I lost it. I got up, started swearing at the top of my voice and whatnot. This resulted in everyone in my house waking up and listening to the kind of swearwords I, er, swear(?). And the worst part? The guys next door didn't even stop.

TITLE: I [26M] am going on a third date [31F] and don't know when to make a 'move'
POST: Just a little background. I started chatting with a girl from work a little before Christmas, we ended up going out for lunch on the day itself (neither of us celebrate). Went very well and following weekend I went to her place to watch the game and then dinner out. Again, very well. She's coming to my place tomorrow for dinner, then either heading out or staying in.
The problem is my inability to sense the right time to initiate physical contact or to act on what I think is the right time. After the second date I dropped her off at her place, we said goodbye, and I'm 99.9% sure she was looking for me to make a move before she got out, but I just completely froze up.
There's definitely chemistry, I'm not getting any mixed signals so there's definite interest from her, and I'm not anticipating any type of rejection.
I haven't been out 'dating' in a number of years. All my relationships in those years have resulted from hooking up with girls, and obviously they didn't last. Since those relationships were built on sex, this type of problem never came up. I'm hoping that going about this the traditional way will change the dynamic of the relationship and make it last longer.

TITLE: How could I (24m) break up with her (23f) in the most harmless way (2 years in) ?
POST: We've been dating for 2 years and were deeply in love at first. We got closer really quickly and long story short, she knows all my friends, my parents and extended family, texts my mom every now and then just to have a laugh, etc. (we don't live together though). Problem is, I don't think I love her anymore. I guess feelings can (and did) fade away eventually. But now the problem is bi-dimensional: first off, we've been saying « I love you » and stuff like that on a very regular basis. If I don't say it regularly she'd ask why, and then I wouldn't have much to explain except that I don't mean it anymore, and she would probably feel devastated. What's wrong with that, right? It's a breakup after all, even if I would have a hard time justifying the « I love you » of the past months (I'll take any tip), and neither her, nor my mom, or my friends, would understand at first? But the other dimension of the problem is that she's going through rough times at the moment (not exactly her, but her sister is in a deep depression and her father just got fired), and even if I don't feel any passion anymore, I would never ever want her to be sad, feel hurt, or anything like that. How can I be true to her, in saying that I don't see a future for us, as well as making it as easy as possible for her to go through that? Should I wait for better times? How long until better times?

TITLE: My friend [18/f] is having break-up issues with her ex[18/m]
POST: I have this friend [18/f] who was in a relationship with a guy [18/m] for about 3 years. Let's call the girl Kate and the guy Tim. In the 3 years they were dating, they have broken up and gotten back together about 3 times. About 6 months ago Kate broke up with Tim due to personal reasons but still had strong feelings for him. She didn't want to lose him for good so she continued to talk to him through text, snapchat, and in real life. She did though, want to move on. Tim, who also still had strong feelings for Kate wanted to get back together but Kate really was against it. Knowing that Kate didn't want to get back together with him, Tim wanted to try and move on and decided that the only real way to do that was to stop talking to Kate completely so that his strong feelings for her lessen. This happened about a week ago and Kate was devastated when she heard that Tim wanted to stop talking. She ended up crying and the next day she told me about it. Over the next few days she's been telling me she's deleted him from snapchat and from Skype and so on. The problem is, I don't know how to respond to the things she's telling me. I feel like I can't tell her "Congrats on moving on" because I know she was really upset when T told her they should stop talking. When she told me she removed him from snapchat or something I always told her "Good job!" but I feel like I should be saying more or helping her out in some way. I asked her if she was okay once and she just said she was fine, but I can tell she wasn't. I've been friends with K for years and we're close so I really want to help her but in this case I don't know how. This seems like a stupid thing to ask for advice, but I could really use it right now.

TITLE: Confused about a sudden broken 2-year friendship, could you guys help me understand?
POST: To start things off, I am a 21 year old college undergrad that has very little experience in relationships in general. But I met this fantastic woman (she's 20) in one of my courses about 2 years ago (same major) and got to be friends with her until about 5 months ago.
We did everything together: studied together, hanged out, played video-games, you name it. But everything came crashing down when I decided that I wanted to let her know how much I fell in love with her. I knew I had little chance with this woman (she's very attractive), but it was worth a shot asking her out for a few dates.
Nevertheless, I gathered all the courage in the world, and told her how I felt and if she would give me a chance to go out with her. Her face had the most soul-crushing expression I have ever witnessed. She blankly stared at me, and went away without any explanation at all. I tried contacting her afterwards to apologize if I did something wrong, but she never answered my calls, texts, messages, etc. And everytime I see her (again, we study the same major) she avoids me like the plague.
So I've been a depressed and confused since that day, wishing never to have said that, among other things. I do miss our friendship a lot. And I thought by trying to forget everything about her and move on would help, but I still see her now and then, wondering why did our friendship end all of a sudden. What do you guys think that happened to her? Why does she have feelings of resentment on me now?

Now, I don't demand much in the area of texting. Once a day before bed, a quick "I love you." We used to talk all the time, he was like my best friend. Now...

TITLE: My [M26] wife [F25] of two years is constantly frustrated with my family and takes it out on me -- I don't want her to hate them, but if I try to defend my family, it makes things much worse.
POST: My wife and I have been together for almost eight years now and have been married for two of them. Our families have always gotten along well, but in the last year or so they hit a rough patch. Both of our sets of parents do fairly well for themselves, but neither are filthy rich. Her extended family, however, is extremely well-off, and have always helped out my wife, her sister, and their parents by paying for schooling, cars, and many other expenses. My family did not have this luxury.
I am currently a full-time law student, and my parents were generous enough to pay for my tuition (~$25k a year after scholarship). Now, we are buying a house and her parents are helping us significantly. My parents also support my adult aunt and, until recently, also supported my grandmother. They've said (without us asking) that they wish they could help us with the house, but they really can't right now.
My wife has been frustrated with me lately because she thinks it's wrong of my parents not to help when her family has done so much for us. If I try to explain how much my parents give us by paying for my education so I can provide for us down the road, she says that their help is only benefitting me. I also know that she's spoken with her family about the issue and they feel the same way.
I'm sorry for the long post, but I'm at the end of my rope! I don't want problems between our families, but I can't help but feel that they're being unreasonable. How can I reconcile this mess?
