...See more There is a guy in my work place that totally ignores me. I am new at this place and everyone are so nice and welcoming, they come over to say hi every morning. The first time we met he was nice but after that he comes to our office and talk to my other Colleague without even turning his head and say hi to me. I am just wondering what is wrong with him? 😄

Is my relationship salvageable or should we give up?
by Jenruntn
Last post

...See more I've been with my boyfriend for over 2 yrs, and the whole time he's accused me of "being slick" even when I never had "slick intentions." Until a month ago when I cheated. I knew he was doing something behind my back for weeks but after I cheated I found out he had been doing drugs behind my back for months not cheating like I thought. We have terrible communication skills but still want to try to work things out. The only problem is he's started a new job and is focused on making a name for himself so he can't focus on our relationship right now. How long do I wait for him to have time for us? Or should we just quit now?

(Financial) Red Flag?

...See more Last night my boyfriend admitted he was lazy and dependent on me early in our relationship. It made me question if this is something I should be careful of because while it is hard to "prove" and I don't want to feel like I am being used for finances and to provide stability for both of us. He has been injured for about 2 years now but we also have only had one car most of our time dating too. I feel bad sometimes for sounding mean, but I'm not sure what to do. Any advice or insight?

Losing a childhood friend/crush
by yellowSailboat5818
Last post
 Friday
...See more I just need to let out and have someone to talk about it right now. Last month (July), I recently lost a childhood friend over a confession. He confessed his feelings to me through *** invites, and I didn't answer, so he was under the assumption that I declined his confession. He lashed out and called me names. Because of that, I blocked him, but I eventually unblocked him and been checking his account a lot ever since. Honestly, I still love him, even though I'm mad about how he treated me that time. I also feel like having a talk with him about it, but a lot of people advise me not to; I understand though, since he should be the one talking about it first and apologizing. I just can't get him out of my head, even if it's been a month. By the way, before all of this happened. We were great friends in childhood and very close to eachother, talking to eachother a lot; until we got separated. We then got ourselves updated on eachother's lives through social media.

Let it Go!
by CheeryMango
Last post
 Friday
...See more Breakups can often leave us with heavy, painful feelings, and with a desire to change in order to move forward after the end of the relationship. Moving forward involves identifying the painful emotions or thoughts and labeling what we prefer to feel or think. In this exercise, try to list 2-3 feelings or thoughts that you can change or let go of in your personal life, then try to list 2-3 feelings or thoughts that you would want to have instead. Sample Response: 1. I want to let go of the hurt, resentment and sadness that I currently feel from my recent breakup 2. I want to experience peace, happiness and self-love.

Relationship/cheating trust issue

 February 26th
...See more So my boyfriend of almost 3 years recently looked at porn on Christmas Eve. He has had problems before he looked at porn in the beginning of our relationship and i was unaware but i was not upset just because it wasnt even like serious at the time. We talked and have been talking a lot and I just need advice and help its really taking a toll on my daily life and I dont know how to fix this. So my boyfriend was never in a serious relatinship before, his parents had a rough relationship and he was overall not really taught and understood the basic common things in a relationship. We've gone a loong way as we've taught each other. Mid september I felt like he wasnt showing me enough love and loving me like he used to, the effort and cling wasnt there. I kept telling him trying to find why i was feeling this way, i couldnt it was just simple that he just wasnt showing it to me. I had been feeling depressed and not free whilst talking to him basically because i couldnt go a few minutes without him because this change was so sudden i wanted him back and i was trying so hard. He just started working a lot more hours which i understand but it hurt and he didnt understand and i felt like he wasnt listening or trying to help. I kept getting angry and then finally we went on a trip together but it stuill felt like he wasn't so it was confusing. We came back from our trip and it was christmas eve and i had this terrible gut feeling he did something so i logged into his phone and saw that he looked at porn. he told me that he did it out of purpose for curiousity and wanted to see what it was like from the guys pov or the girls im not entirely sure. he said he wasnt turned on by it or anything and it was just for curiosuty purposes. but i was just so hurt cause he didnt tell me he didnt even mention it and i asked him if he wouldve told me if i didnt find out and he said he didnt know. It was terrible to find out and here about this. he keeps saying sorry and hes very apologetic and doing what i asked him and was sorryhe didnt realize what he was doing but also it sucks because i feel like hes stull doing the same as he was before, his texts are dry, and hes just so dull now it makes me feel really sad. Maybe its because im still stuck on this change and i need a distraction while his distraction is work. I just need help because its taking up a lot of my life just being so fixated on this and i just need help, i need to be back to what i used to be when i was focused on myself and cared about myself. Im slowly losing myself and i just need to learn how to trust and i want to know anyone elses pov. thank you everyone :)

Long term wife showing disrespect to husband

...See more This week, my wife of 30yrs announces she is going through with updating her wedding ring. Last night she announces she went and picked out new ring. It will be skinnier, and covered on sides with small diamonds, and larger stone from current ring to be included on top of setting. Total cost, $2700!  I said good, I'm glad your happy. ( I just want her to happy). I did mention we should let our home owners insurance know about it, maje sure it's now covered. I. Outdoor tell she never thought of that.  We go about our evening watching TV, scrolling our phones. She then seems on edge. I ask what's going on? She states she's nervous and it's my fault. Whaa? I reminder I was fine with the ring had no comment on the cost, how is it my fault your nervous? She says cause you usually get mad over such things, I'm making her nervous. I reminded her I truely was glad she got the ring she wanted, said nothing about cost. Then I had enough of her ***. I said your being a real *** for treating me this way. Mind you I forgot about it, and was watching g TV because I was genuinely fine with it.  Am I the ***?

...See more After nth yrs of being together, he started dreaming of me again. I just feel like posting this thread because, I feel so loved at this moment. I want to cry thinking how he got to dream of me again. It's been always me who dreams about him leaving me/cheating on me or anything related to him for the recent years of us being together. I always wondering if he also dreams the same or if there is a chance that I shows up in his dreams too. Yes, he did, but that was years ago. I think first year of us dating, he often dreams about me with him, me leaving him, etc., But whenever I asked for these recent years, he doesn't say that much that I shows up in his dreams. I don't know if this is kinda weird to all of you, but this thing means a lot to me. Dreaming about a specific person also means, you think of him/her most of the time. Proven with my own personal experience. I think I should celebrate this small progress in our love life.... He is coming back to his old self that I have met years ago. I want to cry. Tears of joy of course. *Me putting anti-jinx for this happiness to lasts forever* Cheers!!

...See more im in a relationship with my boyfriend, okay? and its been a year, etc. But I started to freak out (about a month ago) bc of our relationship. It started bc i caught myself fantasizing about my ex, and i got confused. So I decided to take a break from my boyfriend, and after a while of thinking, we got back bc i realised that i love him, but ever since then, im having anxiety attacks, and it wont stop. and overall, im just really confused on myself, on why do I feel anxious when im with him?? why am I so freaked out about my thing with him??? I'm really anxious on the thought that i dont love him bc i don't wanna lose him, but its like i cant seem to stop i need advice, or something, pls :(

...See more Hello I am excited to be here.  I am here looking for support and feedback.   Just a summary of my situation. I moved across my entire country and moved somewhere I can’t speak the language (not so smart) to be with my long distance boyfriend.  We have been through a lot of issues since my move over 3 years ago.  I won’t get into those at this point as I don’t want to write a novel. Our big issue at this point is poor communication and we have major core wounds from our past.  This causes both of us to react poorly and fight.  Also we both are codependent.  I think that especially I will need help to navigate.  At this time only I am willing to seek therapy. I am happy to be here and get to know some of you!! Any strategies to break the codependent cycle would be appreciated.  I find it hard to know if I am enabling or just loving.

...See more 1. Smile You tend to smile when you’re happy. But it’s actually a two-way street. We smile because we’re happy, and smiling causes the brain to release dopamine, which makes us happier. That doesn’t mean you have to go around with a fake smile plastered on your face all the time. But the next time you find yourself feeling low, crack a smile and see what happens. Or try starting each morning by smiling at yourself in the mirror.
