TITLE: Redding, I got totally shit on by someone I thought was one of my best friends. What's the worst way someone's done you wrong?
POST: Someone I thought of as a close friend for 25 years totally shit on me this week. I've dropped everything to be at his side in his times of need, given him money when he needed it, listened and encouraged him when things weren't going his way; basically bent over backwards to be the best friend I knew how.
Last Thursday I was unexpectedly hospitalized due to a violent reaction to a new medication. I spent two nights in the hospital, had to have an MRI and EEG, and was scared out of my mind. I was unconscious part of the first night, but when I got myself together enough early the next morning I texted my "friend. ' after getting no reply, I called and left a message. As of today I still haven't heard from him.
I am devastated that he would do this after all we've endured. I've never had any sort of health crisis before, and am totally shocked at having been basically abandoned in my hour of need.

TITLE: TIFU by wandering into a stranger's house at 1 AM
POST: This happened last night and since i've been a lurker forever I figured this wouldn't be a bad first post. :D
So, it's 12am, and I'm out camping with my friends. Everyone's asleep except for me. I realized that home was only a mile or so away, and me being my extremely bored and stupid self, I decide to play a trick on my friends.
A few hours previously we had hot dogs roasted over the campfire, and no camper in the right mind would forget to bring ketchup to a camping trip with hot dogs.
I made a messy trail of ketchup leading into the woods which was only a few meters away from where my tent was. Made sure to use as much as possible so it would still be there in the morning. I proceeded to leave the camp.
I was almost exactly sure where I was going. I live in a suburb with nearly identical houses so you can see how this fuck up happened. Keep in mind that it's pitch black outside, this is about 1am. I typically enter my house through the sliding glass door at the back because it's always unlocked. I walked up to my door, surprised to see it locked. I'm just tired and want to sleep now so I thoughtlessly walked up the stairs to the deck and tried the door up there. I made it in half asleep, and started across into my room. I was halfway there when I realized that this wasn't my house and a 12-13 year old girl was staring at me from the living room in shock.
Immediately I dash out the back and around to the street. I made it to my own house (and I did check, it was my house.) I pretty much just collapsed on my bed when I made it to my room.
Now it's 8am, I checked my phone and saw a couple of missed calls and texts, from my friends reading things along the lines of lol nice try." I was sort of relieved they didn't fall for it at that point, even though I didn't really expect them to.

TITLE: [20 M] getting way to attached to [19 F]
POST: Hey Everyone,
I'm going to try to make this short cause ive got an exam tomorrow. I met a girl at a party about a month ago. We've been hanging out almost every weekend since. Last weekend we had sex (lost my virginity.) Probably too early, but whatever. We were talking, and I told her that I wanted a serious relationship not just a FWB kind of deal. She told me that she wasnt ready for a serious relationship, and she doesnt know what she wanted.
The thing is we have hung out after this, and every time we hang out i like her more and more. Last night, i even dreamt of her... Im trying to hold back my feelings and be cool about it, but its not working. When I daydream its mostly about her. I guess, im asking for advice regarding not getting attached because i know if this continues im just going to get hurt in the end.

TITLE: Me [23 M] with gf [21 F] of 14 months, best break-up ever (?)
POST: I've been a lurker for some time, but now I want to share my story with you.
---
This morning, I broke up with my girlfriend of 14 months.
I was so afraid to tell her that I don't love her anymore, but I took all my courage and knocked on her door.
I started to babble about how much I'm sorry for doing this and that I want to end the relationship. Tears were shed and after a few minutes she turns to me and says: 'It's okay.'
She smiled at me and hold my hand to reassure me that everything's gonna be fine.
I wasn't prepared for such a reaction and I just started to ball my eyes out for a good 10 minutes or so. She sat beside me, her hand on my shoulder and telling me that everything's gonna be okay.
She stayed calm and comforted me…although I was the one breaking her heart. After half an hour, I decided to leave her alone and went home.
I was standing in her door when she smiled at me and said: 'Hey, we can still be friends.'
---
Back at home I started to get a bad feeling about this and started to rethink my decision.
I'm still sitting here in front of my computer, bewildered at what happened this morning.
I don't know what to think of it...

TITLE: Follow your dreams or play it safe?
POST: So my dream is do stand up comedy, improv comedy, writing and/or sketch comedy full time. I have done improv for 11-12 years now and I have been featured in some pretty mainstream comedy videos online, I have done my own sketch show, and I have done my fair share of networking. I think I am ready to take my "leap of faith" and I feel like time is only working against me...
My problem is I have been raised to do one thing my whole life. I have learned that there is a "right" way to do everything and I have, for the most part, played by the rules. I went to high school, then college, then got a career and here I am. Financially I am fine. I am a 26 year old single man that owns his own house and car. I mean like anyone I have/had my problems but for the most part I have a good, logical head on my shoulders. (WHICH IS WHY THIS IS SO HARD!) :)
Another issue is my two brothers rent rooms from me and they are for lack of better words... dead beats. My mom cannot afford to house them and I do love the idiots. I have no idea how they would react if I essentially evicted them to just pursue something they would never understand and where I could potentially lose everything.
So, I have a few questions for you reddit...
Do I leave it all behind? Has anyone here ever done it or something similar? Can anyone lend help, advice, a job in the industry? haha. I could really use any and all CONSTRUCTIVE advice/criticism on the matter because frankly I am not really close to anyone anymore that I can have these kind of conversations with.
If anyone wants more details about my mundane and lonely existence please don't hesitate to ask! :)

Should I quit my career that pays for my general well being (house, car, etc.) or follow my dreams in comedy and risk throwing it all away?

POST: Long story short-ish:
I worked with this girl over the summer, and we were pretty good friends. About last week, I message her. She says she misses me. Like, a lot. Then I find out we have a mutual attraction, as in we want to date.
The next day, we plan to hang out at my place, and she says its ok for me to kiss her. We watch a movie and hang out, and then I take her home. Later I ask why I couldn't kiss her, and she says she'd rather be friends.
What should I do? I mean, I'm ok with the friendzone, but I'm really in love with her... (note: I'm a freshman in college, she's a senior in HS. She also lives in one town part of the year, and another town a half hour away for the other part)

TITLE: Me [26M] with my new person of interest [23 or 24F], 2 weeks, possible soul mate, but it will surely be LDR and I don't know how I should approach.
POST: I had a few kiddy relationships in high school and one terrible relationship in college which ended in 4 months when the partner decided to get back with her ex (you bitch...). I've been single for 3 years ever since. I'm a virgin by choice and want to keep it that way until marriage. Yeah... I'm old school, I know.
I met this lady during a trip to a Buddhist temple about 500 miles away in another state. She's a foreign exchange student who studies psychology and lives nearby the temple. I saw her during the Sunday service and we exchanged only a few words, but as she and I made an eye contact later on that day I immediately felt my heart skip a bit and all my senses... reboot. No, I did not have a stroke, and I did never believe in love-at-first-sight thingies and thought all those movies and novels were full of shit... until that day. Even after returning from the temple, I couldn't stop pondering about her.
Fast forward 5 days. I get a friend request on Facebook from a stranger. It's her: Maybe she found me through the temple's fb group. Well, I don't care. I accept the request in a heartbeat. She starts talking to me. I start talking to her. Shy and awkward conversations quickly gain momentum, and we find out we have so much in common -- favorite musicians, movies, even lifestyle and goals. Nowadays we just continuously talk to each other.
However, here are the bad news. Not only there currently are 2 states between me and her, she's an exchange student and is likely go back to her country once she graduates. Even if it works out, it'll inevitably be a long-distance, I mean hemispheric-distance relationship. I'm actually willing to do the LDR, but I'm not sure if she feels the same. At least she was curious enough to add me on fb...

TITLE: Could use some advice...
POST: Fair warning, this is my first post to Reddit, and I'm on mobile. Please bare with me.
A week ago, I decided to start a (hopefully) lifelong journey to slowly yet steadily improve my life. I bought a scale, and weighed myself at 340lbs. I wasn't nearly as upset as I probably should've been, considering I was expecting closer to 400lbs.
That very day, I took the first step. I made a myfitnesspal account, and tracked a typical day for me, with no changes. I was very, very quickly disgusted. I discovered two things that fascinated me. The first being, that I DONT over eat. I do however, drink incredible amounts of calories. I found I was drinking TWO THOUSAND calories on a good day. Well, clearly I've established what I need to change most, right? Right.
The next day, and every day since, I've completely stopped drinking soda, and went into what I believe was a sugar/caffeine withdrawal. Years of drinking hundreds upon hundreds of calories worth of soda has left me more than a little messed up. I allow myself 1 glass of coke a week, and so far this has kept off any cravings, yay!
Now for the advice I need. As I said, I've been tracking my progress with myfitnesspal, hoping to lose 100lbs within a year. Myfitnesspal puts me at approximately 2500cal/day at a loss of 2lbs/week. And I'm actually having trouble meeting this. Just wondering if I should be concerned if I'm not even coming close to the calories that are suggested I eat in a day. Note, I do NOT feel hungry.
TL;DR: . Assistant:

Having difficulties meeting my calorie goals, and sometimes end up 100s below an already low goal (for someone my size), should I be concerned?

TITLE: Scared to have a daughter for irrational reason..
POST: Figured relationships would be a better sub than sex even though it's kind of centered around sex..
I [20M] have a [15F] sister who I've always seen as innocent. Today I realized that even though I gladly know nothing of her sex life(existent or not) she isn't a 9 year old girl who doesn't know what sex is. I then started browsing Reddit and saw a post about how a dad had discovered his daughter pretty much riding her boyfriend. I thought about how not only our dad but a ton of dads are probably devastated that their "little girl" is having sex. At this point I was for some reason really angry and didn't know why. It then dawned on me that I was thinking about my future and if I were to catch my daughter in the act of sex I would probably punch a hole in the wall as to not make a scene...(Obviously kidding but would be really upset non the-less)
Now I'm feeling guilty because if I had a son and I caught him having sex I'd be fine with it, maybe even a little proud. I'm feeling guilty because this is a huge double standard and at my current age, heck even when I was in high school I knew of plenty of girls who were sexually active and didn't see it as a big deal. I know I'm being completely irrational about this seeing as how I don't even have any kids, but I was wondering if anyone had any input on why I was getting so worked up over something that could be 25 years down the line?
I think I'd be fine if I was kind of oblivious to it.. i.e. NOT walking in on my daughter doing cowgirl in my own home.. I'm not a violent person nor would I do anything to this theoretical kid having sexy times with my theoretical daughter, but if I were to see it happen I would just flip.. Any insight or experience dealing with the realization that your daughter is sexually active for when the future comes around?
TL;DR: . Assistant:

TITLE: People of Reddit, what is the creepiest compliment you have ever received?
POST: A few months ago our history class went on a school trip to an theme park. When we got inside, the park was FULL of adults and other school children and towards the end of the trip my friends and i (there were 4 of us including me) decided to go on one more ride which was supposedly scary. When we got to it it wasn't really a ride, more of a haunted house, we entered the house-church like structure and realised it was full of adults and only a Handfull of children, we got settled when suddenly the lights when out and everybody went quiet. I tried nudging my friends but no one was there and I panicked, i contemplated calling our for my friends but I didn't dare disturb the silence. I backed up and I hit what I first though was a wall but realised it was a person, whoever it was felt like an adult because my head only reached my chest, I stalled for a whole then the person pinched my ass really hard and said in a raspy, heavy voice "Nice ass" and then BOOM! Thunder bolts audio came through the speakers and candles were lit and I turned around but whoever it was had gone away. The candle lit provided me enough light to make out my friends and I went and stood with them. Through some thinking i just took it as a compliment.
I'm male and 14 if anyone's wondering.

TITLE: Boyfriend (23M) of one and a half years cheated on me (20F). So confused, need advice.
POST: My boyfriend (23M) and I (20F) have been together for one year and seven months. We both have been cheated on in our past and vowed to never do that to one another.
In the beginning I could tell he was insecure and had trust issues from past relationships. I kept building him up and reassuring him.
About seven months into our relationship he texted me under a new number pretending to be somebody else and I had responded to the flirtatious text. I had to regain trust in him and he was able to move forward. I have never cheated on him.
Fast forward to yesterday, I have had a feeling things weren't right. We haven't been seeing eachother as much even though we talk everyday and profess our deep love for eachother daily. I saw his phone had texts from two different women that were very flirtatious and that he's seen them multiple times.
I confronted him and he begged and pleaded for me back and to forgive him like he forgave me. He claims that I have been distant (even though I make time for him) and that hes scared of me moving an hour away for school. He also says he did not have sex with them although one text from one woman asked if she could still come over to his apartment later.
I made him leave a voicemail to one who he claims was his ex that cheated on him. He told her to never text him or call him back as he messed up a valuable relationship. He says I'm the woman he wants to marry, the love of his life, and that they don't mean anything. How do I trust him? What do I do? I dont know what to believe.

TITLE: Reddit, when have you had to hurt someone you loved in order to do the right thing?
POST: I just wrote a nice long letter to my ex. Informing her I can't continue to be in her life. We had hooked up not long ago and rekindled some bottled up emotions. But she decided she didn't want to pursue that with me. And I'll live. But we are so close that it started to turn me into her close friend that she talked about other relationships with... somehow we jumped into me becoming her gay friend that she talked about other guys being jerks to her. It causes me severe emotional pain to listen to her talk about other guys. So I wrote her a letter detailing my feelings. I had more than one thing I wanted to tell her and I needed it all to be well worded and put out there. I knew going forward I would just be causing myself misery if I let myself become that sort of friend to her. I was torn between being that friend and not having her in my life at all. I decided it was best for us both if I was no longer in her life. I would just end up confessing yo her down the line that I still loved her, and keep causing confused feelings between us.
I wrote out this long letter. She took a day to respond but when she did she told me I had hurt her like never before, that she was an idiot for thinking I wouldn't have done so to her. Mind you when we broke up it was because she texted me saying "I got the abortion" when I was never told she was pregnant... She was hurt by me? Please.
I know it was the right move to get away from her. She has issues and I'm unwilling to deal with them. But those issues are easy to forget when you are with her. And I love her an awful lot despite everything.

TITLE: I've only ever liked 1 girl, and i can't get over her?
POST: Hi. I'm 23, male.
I knew her since i was like 14, she was a year younger than me. We used to hang out almost daily for years - she lived just down the road from me. We were really good friends, and our friendship lasted until i was about 19. I was a really naive teen, and never realized she had feelings for me, even though she gave some massive signals.
I had strong emotional feelings for her too, but i didn't really understand them at the time. I was a late bloomer. I went through a lot of hardships and i slipped into a bit of a destructive state. I ended up pushing her away, i did it to protect her, but it ruined our friendship. I imagine she hates me now.
I've only seen her once since (been 5 years), and we both completely blanked each other. I haven't attempted to contact her or anything, i could quite easily, but i don't want to talk to her and find out she hates me now. I still think about her a fair bit, and even have dreams about her. (non sexual). I know it's weird, but i'm not stalking her or involving her in any way so it's not hurting, right?
Well, that's the past. The present is the problem. I don't feel attracted to anybody, sexually or emotionally. I have options, i'm not bad looking and i get interest on nights out, and a couple of friends who like me. But none of them interest me.
I know this is really pathetic, but i don't know what to do. I want to get over her, but i still have the problem of not finding anyone else attractive. I've only slept with one girl ever, and weirdly, she looked a lot like the girl i liked. Still the sex was no more enjoyable than masturbating, and was all very average.

TITLE: I [23f] need to have a serious conversation with my bf [23m] of two years about marriage and our future. What topics/comments/things to avoid at all costs?
POST: Hello, I do know I am on the young side of the spectrum to be considering marriage, but my boyfriend and I have been in an LDR (different countries, four hour flight away) for the past half year, and will continue to be for at least two more years, minimum. I feel that a serious conversation about marriage and our future is necessary soon.
Now, for context, we started this relationship knowing that we would be an eventual LDR and with the assumption that we would probably get married in our mid-late twenties. However, we're about to hit a point in our lives where there might be a big change, depending on whether I get the job I applied for or not. i want to talk to him and figure out our options together.
So this was how I thought I'd proceed.
1. Tell him that I want to have a serious conversation about our future in general, and marriage (children, our own families), our values (religion, abortion, homosexuality), our finances (current and potential future), and our future(what happens if only one of us gets the job, what happens if neither of us get the job, can we survive the two year separation that's left, etc).
2. Give him a few days warning so he has time to think about it.
3. Sit down and have the conversation at home, cuddled on the couch, and with a beer each (only one each so we don't get drunk) and quiet music.
However, are there any topics, questions, comments, or attitude to avoid (that is not blatantly obvious)? Or, are there any additional topics,questions we must go over?

TITLE: I [F/21] feel very insecure after finding photos of my boyfriend's ex partners [M/26] on his laptop?
POST: We've been together nearly a year.
I realise this sounds silly, but I'm a fairly insecure person to begin with. I know I'm not unattractive - far from it - nevertheless, its still the reason that I've waited to have sex and only did so a few months ago with my current boyfriend. I still have difficulty opening up. I've suffered with eating disorders while growing up and although I've recovered, I still find myself constantly doubting myself (although I'm working on it).
Anyways, my laptop broke so I've been using his second laptop and found a few explicit photos of different partners he's had. He said he completely forgot about it, which I doubt considering he was going through all of his photos a couple of months ago and showing me some of the hilarious ones. By doing that, he would inevitably come across them, but I've chosen to ignore that.
Since seeing them though, I've begun to feel very uncomfortable with myself and/or around him as I no longer feel 'secure' with myself. I realise these are my own issues to deal with and not his, however, I just find it a bit insensitive and feel completely inadequate.

POST: First of all, this is a throwaway. Don't need any of my friends learning about this. So this weekend, I went to a party and towards the end, a girl I knew for a long time have a slight hint she might want to have sex with me. I didn't really get that so I walked off. A few minutes later, people start coming up to me and asking if I am gay because I turned her down. I said no and figured the only way to show that I wasn't gay was to have sex with her.
So skip ahead to the room and I don't have a condom, so a friend brings up a condom and we get to work. Skip ahead towards the end where I wasn't really sure if I nutted or not because of how drunk I was. We continue for another 10 minutes until something comes up. Not due to me, she rushes out and leaves in a hurry. Now i am not 100% sure whether or not the condom broke or some love juice slipped out after I may or may not have nutted. I don't know if she took the morning after pill. I am desperate for some advice on what I should do at this point.

TITLE: TIFU by watching YouTube at work
POST: Some context: I valet for a hospital, specifically the employee's parking lot so if the parking lot is not full I do not do anything at all and and believe me this parking lot is never full I basically get paid to stand all day
So TIFU happened about 1 week ago. I was watching videos on my phone and bent my head down to block the sun's death ray of light from glaring the glass on my phone that was keeping me from learning how to origami in 1080p resolution and apparently some snitch ass lady reported me to human resource for sleeping on the job because she couldn't see that my eyes were open and it got around to the head of HR and even to the mothafucking director of the hospital so today my supervisor called me saying they were letting me go since the hospital doesn't want people like me working for them (just because I'm Asian) at first I thought it was a prank because I was pretty cool with most employees working there so I guessed it must have been that crazy white lady who I've seen telling everybody what to do and thinks she owns the place(she's just a receptionist)....so now as I guess I can sleep in on Monday
Happy New Years!

TITLE: Me [18/F] with my boyfriend [19/M] of 10 months, not sure whether to break up or not
POST: First of all, this is kind of a vent, as I'm not really sure on where to start. Secondly English is not my first language, so sorry for any confusion.
I met my boyfriend about a year ago and things went really fast from there. Eventually we were seeing each other every day and everything was great. I've always known we were quite different humorwise, and with different interests etc, but it wasn't really a problem as we got along perfectly fine. He truly is an amazing guy, and I really couldn't ask for more, with him always being by my side, buying me gifts and taking me out for dinner.
I tried telling him that I needed some space, as we're seeing each other every day. I've got a lot going on right now, and it's just really stressful, having to take care of my homework, friends, gym, etc. After I told him, we agreed that we weren't going to see each other every day, but he still wants to hang out constantly, and seems to get mad, whenever I don't have time.
I don't know why I've been having these doubts recently. I feel like an awful human being, as I often find myself attracted to other guys. Or is that normal in a relationship? Maybe it's cause I'm only 18 and the thought of being with somebody for the rest of my life terrifies me. Or maybe it's him not going to college that worries me. I've always loved traveling, and was an exchange student in America in 2013/14. I know I wanna go somewhere abroad to get an higher education, and I just don't know if or how it's going to work.
The reason i've been thinking about breaking up with him is, that he deserves someone better than me. He is wholeheartedly committed in this relationship and loves me with all his heart, and again, I feel like an awful human being, not even sure if I want to be in a relationship right now. I mean I really love this guy, and he's an awesome person, but I just don't know.......

We're in an LDR and we're around 3k miles apart. We've never met, but we will in one month and will be spending a month together for the first time.
We're in a trial phase right now, the plan is to wait until we meet before deciding to commit or not. My 'SO' is making a very big exception for me, when we originally met I learned that he wasn't interested in LDR's, thought they could never work and were a waste of time.
He is considering doing it for me and during or after summer its either going to work out or not. My question is.. Has anyone ever been in this type of situation before and how did it work out?
Oh, I think its worth noting that neither of us are looking for anyone else. We are committed to meeting each other, its that part that comes after which is a bit shaky.

TITLE: I [21 F] am too insecure, attached to my boyfriend [24 M] and not happy
POST: We've been dating for about six months. The relationship has been somewhat rocky throughout. We go to the same university but are both home in separate cities and our relationship has been long distance for the past couple of months The main reasons for our problems are that I am dealing with a lot of insecurities and he often feels disrespected and unheard. For example, he's taken pictures/videos of me during sex. I asked a couple weeks ago whether he took similar pictures of his exes and he said yes. I asked if he still watched them and he said he did. I tried to get more information on why he kept them and wanted to watch them and he said I was being insecure and invasive and told me the conversation was over. I kept pushing and he said "fuck you", told me to leave him alone, stopped talking to me for about a day.
We often have arguments like this. I'll keep pushing a subject until he gets angry and stops talking to me. Generally, these arguments stem from me feeling unattractive or otherwise insecure. He used to reassure me that he was attracted to me and loved me but now he just gets upset because he feels like his words have no impact on me. He did cheat on me early in our relationship. He doesn't consider it cheating because technically we weren't dating, but we had already agreed not to sleep with other people. I think a lot of my insecurities stem from that but I can't bring it up directly because he will get angry and shut off.
When he stops talking to me I feel lonely and panicked. I usually text him several times, even though I know he will ignore me. I have a fulfilling life outside of him but I seem to lose sight of that and can only think about how much I miss him and am afraid of him leaving me. He feels like his space isn't being respected and he can't ask for a break. This is actually our situation right now. I'm not even sure what I did wrong but he told me I was exhausting him and never gave him space so I'm trying to do something productive other than smothering him.

TITLE: TIFU By Getting Herpes and Destroying My Phone
POST: Basically after helping my father to build an amazing, quality hand-built dock on our vacation home's canal-seawall; I nefariously sneaked away to smoke a pipe with an old hippie who did work there regularly. This was against my better judgement, and I would later find I would eat my words "that was just what I needed!" as I passed the pipe that was chalked black with what could only be years of dank marijuana. And dank it was... Fast forward to Today and I'm racking my mind as to what finally gave me Herpes Simplex, and then it comes to me; it's the same reason my phone was in my pocket when I fell into said canal, and has to buy a new phone for $287: TO SMOKE WEED!

If there is a similar thread I would really appreciate it if you could redirect me there (: But if you have the time to read/respond that would be great!!
College sophomore here. To keep the story short, one of my guy friends and I have been texting back and forth for a while, and we've been friends for about 9 months. He always starts the convo, and after a while it seemed a tad obvious that he was into me...but I didn't want to bring that up for fear of being wrong, ya know? Well today we were hanging out, and he kissed me, and it was weird. I pulled away and, to put it briefly, told him I didn't want to ruin our friendship. It was just awk, I told him we should talk about it later and I left.
Within our text conversations, I always replied to him in the same way that I would reply to any friend. I generally just try to be a nice person and I think he took that as a sign that I was into him. So, my questions are, a) is there ANYTHING I can do to salvage this friendship and b) guys, is there any way we can be nice to you but not lead you on?

TITLE: I'm thinking of proposing to my boyfriend.
POST: I have a problem that I have been conflicted with over the last few days. My boyfriend and I have been dating for several years now and I have never been more in love with him. Everyone expects us to have gotten married, but I have resisted the pressure at every turn. I have never really understood appeal of marriage. Marriage has always seemed like red tape and paperwork that doesn't add anything to the emotions involved in a long term relationship. I do, however, think that it is important to my boyfriend. I also think that I have probably caused him to think that marriage is not something I am interested in at all. Lately I have found the idea of marriage a bit more pleasing, though I am not sure where it has come from.
He has been an amazing partner, through everything, and I have decided I would be delighted to give him the gift of that promise. I also believe that men should have a change to have a moment of pure romance, like all woman dream of having. He is more of a romantic than me, but I do my best. I guess, after that bit of background, I want to ask if people have an opinion on whether or not a female to male proposal would embarrass rather than romanticize. I also have no idea what you would give a man as a token of your pleas of marriage.

TITLE: My [23F] boyfriend [26M] of 2 and 1/2 years dropped the bomb that he wants to break up
POST: My boyfriend of two and a half years dropped the bomb on me that he wants to break up.
I've supported him through everything. From losing his license, to getting laid off at work, to finding out his brother is an addict, to dealing with a crazy ex, and more.
His reasons are he is frustrated by my poor stress management and also he has just decided that he doesn't want a long term relationship anymore.
I have anxiety, it's something I've had my whole life. I went to therapy for it years ago and also last year again and I admitted that lately I have dropped the ball with it. I have been talking to my doctor recently about exploring some new options, maybe considering medication. His situations don't help with my anxiety or overall stress but other than that the relationship has been awesome. We have a lot of fun together and we share a lot of the same views about life and where we want to go in the future. We have so much in common and our personalities go together great. He has been a great boyfriend up until the last couple of months. When I brought it up to him that things are getting a little one sided that's when he told me he wants out.
Last week he did have a pretty big falling out with his best friend over some stressful stuff (friendship ending type stuff) and on top of that he said he has been under a lot of stress at work. I'm wondering if this sudden decision is just him poorly handling stress and trying to shut down and not deal with our situation instead of resolve it.
I managed to get him to think about reconsidering this week and we would talk again on Friday. Obviously I am hoping he chooses to try to work things out but honestly I think I am going to get broken up with a second time.
Almost everyone I talked to about it thinks there's another girl he's not telling me about. I want to break the silence we are supposed to be keeping and ask but I don't want to drive him away even more. I also don't think I can hang in there until Friday.

TITLE: How would one go about making silicone sex toys?
POST: I first saw [this] how-to on making silicone dildos, but the suggestion that one use silicone caulking seemed a bit sketchy, and a bit more searching around seemed to confirm that silicone caulking is probably not great for putting in your body. The clay model and latex mold method seems unproblematic, but I could be wrong.
More research seemed to suggest that platinum (rather than tin) cured silicone provides minimal interactions with bodily functions. One can purchase platinum-curing silicone mixes from art stores. I found a [shop] which deals with making molds/casts and has a pretty good selection of platinum-curing silicones.
But the consensus also seems to be that silicone used for sex toys should be "medical grade". I can't seem to figure out what that means and if it is significantly chemically different from the kind of silicone you'd get from an art store, nor where one would get small amounts of it that would be simple to mix in a "homemade" setting. I do know that there are a number of people who make silicone sex toys in their homes (or very small shops), but no one I've contacted is willing to divulge their methods (unsurprisingly). One person seemed to use both "medical grade" and "art store" silicone, perhaps coating the inside of a mold with the former and then filling with the latter (just a guess).
TL;DR: . Assistant:

I'm curious if anyone has any information on anything from the safety of different kinds of silicone, how handmade silicone sex toys are usually made, and good sources for appropriate kinds of silicone.

TITLE: I [16/F] feel alone.
POST: A bit of a back story is that people don't like me. Not sure why. I think I just have that kind of attitude that people don't like. I'm very sarcastic and witty and I like rock music and I even had a buzzcut at some point. It could be a mix of all three or even more.
I used to go to public school but now I don't anymore. I haven't graduated my last grade yet due to the fact I'm just depressed. I have a best friend but we only talk once a week at most. It's my fault because I'm just too sad to talk to her. She sometimes leaves me messages and asks where I've been and I do get around to them but I guess I'm addicted to sleeping.
I also feel like I'm ready for my first relationship (somewhat) even though I also feel as if I'm not. It's like the fact that no guy in real life has ever reached out to me. Feeling like it's appearance wise too. I don't think I'm *that* ugly but... I'm not a natural beauty and makeup doesn't fit me. There's no way I can hang out with people or meet people. Where would people my age meet others? It's frustrating to me. I've been sitting in this house for almost a year now and losing hope.

TITLE: Is my guy-friend (15m) interested in me (15f)? If so, how can I gently say no?
POST: So the story is this.
I've known this guy (Tom) since we were 11 (4 years as friends). He's a nice guy, goofy and fun to be around. We just started staying after school on Mondays in the leisure rooms where we drink tea and study, draw, exchange funny videos or gossip together. We've decided to do it every Monday, though we only done it twice before.
Two days ago it was my birthday. On that day Tom and I were walking alone down an empty hallway when he says 'You know, winstonspoke, I've been thinking."
I turned to him and saw that he was pale, sweaty and incredibly nervous looking. My brain immediately goes to, 'oh my god? Is he asking me out?'.
But then he says 'since it's your birthday and we have tea together, I should buy you tea on the weekend as a present and we can drink it together. What kind of tea do you want?'
I answered quickly, got to class and then ran to my girl friend. I told her about the encounter and how it confused me. She responded with 'Don't worry, he's just a nice guy, he does this to everyone. Tons of other girls think he has a crush on them.'
Now I agree with her. Tom is a nice guy, more friendly than the other guys in our grade, girls often think that he is interested in them while he is not. But it felt different than his usual kindness.
School ends, I talk to my other girlfriend and she says that he probably likes me. Then she asks how would I react if he did ask me out. I've decided I don't want to date him. I don't want to date at 15, nor do I find him to be pleasing in that way. He's a friend, that's all.
But I'm not even sure if he likes me that way. What do you guys think? And how should I deal with it?

POST: Today after a conversation about religion, my SO of two years told me he sometimes worries that I think his beliefs are 'silly'. I didn't want to sound like an asshole and said that while I didn't share the same beliefs as him, that didn't mean that he's 'silly' to believe.
...But honestly, as an atheist I try to put the idea that he believes in a god at the back of my mind because it's only once in a blue moon we talk about religion (he would never bring it up, he accepts completely the fact that I'm not religious) and it's something that I have a hard time accepting and it's the only aspect of our relationship that I just avoid talking about.
He then said he sometimes thinks that if I could change one thing about him, it would be his beliefs. I didn't really know what to say to this and sorta fobbed him off, not making eye-contact and said I love him the way he is (which is true).
**My question is: Does it make me a bad person to admit that of COURSE I would change this about him if I could?** We were discussing the idea of what happens after death - I had said I couldn't think of anything more terrifying than continuing to exist for eternity while he said he couldn't think of anything worse than ceasing to exist - which completely baffles me and for the first time I realised that our views are polar opposites and will most likely stay that way. He believes there's something more than just chemistry that makes him 'him' and that he wouldn't want this to just end after death.
I feel like a horrible person for admitting to myself that there's something about him that I'd like to change, while he's perfectly happy accepting the fact that I'll never hold any religious beliefs..

POST: Hey guys. Throwaway, yadda yadda.
I'm a university student who has been dating the same guy, who I'll call Mark, for almost all of college. We celebrated our 3-yr anniversary in December, and our relationship has been 99% wonderful and fulfilling and positively challenging for the entire time. I love Mark so freaking much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I am so in love with him.
Unfortunately, I'm developing a crush on someone outside of my relationship :( I've known this guy, I'll call him Jeff, for awhile but I only recently started to know him a little better. We have mutual friends and see each other every once in awhile, and he is amazing. Jeff is just an overall incredible person, just like Mark.
I feel so guilty. Of course Mark and I have tiny problems to work on just like any couple, but nothing that would make me want to abandon our relationship. I hate that I feel myself blush and get nervous whenever I see Jeff walk into a room. Disclaimer: I would NEVER, and I repeat, EVER cheat on Mark. Furthermore, Jeff knows that I am in a relationship, and even though I suspect he might feel the same about me, he will never pursue me out of respect for my relationship.
Pretty much, the only problem I'm having is that I don't know why I am feeling this way. Mark is wonderful and amazing, so why do I care about Jeff? I am graduating soon and me & Mark's relationship will be under a lot of stress as we try to find our footing in the real adult world, so I don't want to be feeling this way.
Is this normal? Why is this happening? Should I tell Mark or just let it be? Should I avoid contact with Jeff? Thank you all so much!

POST: I've been seeing this woman pretty steadily for just over two months and I can tell that I'm starting to fall for her. Simply put: she is amazing + I know she is infatuated with me as well. My concern however is that she's never been in love before and her longest relationship has been 7 months.
Almost a year ago I got out of the most serious relationship I've been in. I was with a woman that I wanted to spend my life with (had the ring) but the relationship abruptly ended.
I've asked the girl I'm seeing now about her relationships and she told me she just hasn't found the right guy yet.
I've always been a relationship guy and have been in a few long term ones. My fear is going through the pain of a breakup again. The fact that she hasn't gone through heartbreak, experienced love, or a long term relationship worries me. I don't want to be that guy she leaves after a few years. I'm looking for a best friend to spend my life with. Should I avoid getting more serious with her or am I being foolish for thinking that way?

TITLE: How do I (27M) tell my girlfriend (27F) that I'm uncomfortable with her new exercising habits?
POST: Hey all. I don't know who to go to for advice, so I'm really hoping this sub can help me. I've been with my girlfriend for eight years. For as long as I've known her, she's had self-esteem issues, and she's really started to tackle them this year by going to the gym / taking yoga classes a lot. I'm proud of the effort she's putting in, but I feel she's started drifting away and prioritizing her workouts over spending time with me.
I've told her all throughout our relationship that I will always exercise with her if she needs, and we have started doing aerobics and whatnot at my house maybe once or twice a week after I get off work, but she will still attend classes almost nightly.
Which also something that upsets me, that her classes are going later into the evening (7-9PM). I've never attended classes with her, I am insecure and uncomfortable about her schedule, and the feeling is just getting worse as weeks go by. I don't have any reason to think she's cheating on me or seeing someone else, but I just don't know anymore.
What makes matters worse is that I've recently started working full-time and she's part-time, so I don't see her as often anymore, but she doesn't seem to acknowledge that I have less time to see her. I just don't know how to approach this subject with her. Everytime I do, she gets defensive, shuts down, and we end up not speaking for days. How do I explain all this to her in a civilized way? Thanks for your time and help.

TITLE: I [29M] am not ready to settle down with my girlfriend [24F] of 2 years. Want to travel the world solo but it's awkward timing.
POST: Hey reddit. Thank you so much in advance for giving me advice. So this is a throwaway account.
I'll go straight to the point. I met my girlfriend in Philly two years ago. We spent a lot of time together in the city and it was great. Best companion I've ever had. I always had this dream to travel USA and do all 50 states. So I quit my job earlier this year and she managed to get a leave from work so she can go back to work in December. We're currently in the middle of our trip across the country.
She's set on us moving in together when we get back to Philly. She's looking for apartments and is excited for the next stage. Unfortunately, I don't feel the same way. In fact, my mind is elsewhere since I want to keep traveling and see the rest of the world - specifically South East Asia. She's a great companion and I love you. I just don't think I'm ready to settle down, there's so much more I want to do and since I'm unemployed, this is the perfect opportunity to see the world. She won't want to do that next extended trip with me and I would love to spend some proper time alone and see parts of the world that I've always wanted to see. But, this would mean breaking up when our USA trip is over. She won't want do deal with that LDR and it would be unfair to ask that of her. She has absolutely no idea I'm feeling this way and I hate the idea of hurting her and leaving her hanging. She has enough money saved up to move in without me.
Reddit, I would love your advice. How do I approach it. I haven't mentioned anything to her. But I really think I need this for me.

TITLE: So I might have spinal meningitis.
POST: Today I got a call from my boss telling me that one of my co-workers is in the hospital with spinal meningitis. We don't know yet if it's bacterial or viral, seeing as how the spinal tap will take at least 24 hours before we get any clear results. I've been vaccinated for it but when I talked to the doctors office they told me that there is now another vaccine that you are supposed to have.
They told me to watch for the symptoms which include a severe headache and flu like symptoms along with back/neck ache. When I asked how long the virus lays dormant in your system, they told me either a month to a week. Well I have definitely been working with her over the past month, and my recent contact with her was just last weekend.
Now this evening I have a severe migraine and some slight neck ache but haven't gotten sick to my stomach at all. In my town there have already been three cases in just today, one of the patients is dying. I'm a bit scared reddit, I've been around my newborn niece and my younger siblings and I don't want anything to happen to them. Any advice or reassurance that I'm just stressing myself out and to relax until the results come back would be appreciated.

POST: In my school we just recently had something happen where the school was told that a young boy had leukemia and he was close to dying. One of our football team's players even got to meet him. They talked briefly. Turns out he was a huge fan of our football team, that has been doing really well this year, so we decided to dedicate a football game to him. We even decided to let him do the coin toss. It was his final wish to attend this game. We even planned to release balloons for him during halftime. Unfortunately we got word that he had died the day before the game. People were very upset but the game still went on. About a week later, news comes that someone investigated the kid and found out that he wasn't even real! The whole thing was just a hoax! Our football player had talked with an actor.

TITLE: I [24/F] am getting so annoyed by my coworker [40s?/M]
POST: I am the receptionist at work, and I have a coworker who will just not shut up sometimes. I am not a big gossiper, nor do I like to spend a lot of time being negative. There IS such a thing as someone who complains way too much. Also, he is one of those people who do not heed any advice you give out. I think he just likes to hear himself talk.
It's annoying because I feel like I'm trapped at my desk, stuck in (a one-sided) conversation with him, and I feel like he knows it. I feel like I can't get any work done. I was almost done with one of my tasks, and he just starts babbling about this, that, and the other. I've tried putting an earbud in to listen to music (I can't put both in because I have to answer the phones/it looks unprofessional). BUT HE STILL TRIES TO TALK OVER IT. He'll even try to fucking talk to me while I'm clearly on the phone. It's not even important work things. It's just him wanting to complain about something again, or talk about how super drunk he got the night before, or about how his wife eats seaweed wraps all the time and it grosses him out. I've tried just getting up and leaving my desk to go organize random stuff around the office, but again, small company, he'll just run into me in a few minutes and ask me what I'm doing. This happens about 3-4 times a day of him just standing in the lobby and talking at me. I can't outright tell him to leave me alone or to shut up because we work at a tiny company of about 50 people. I hate the way he talks, and it's really getting on my nerves.
Okay this is mostly a rant, but seriously, is there any polite, straightforward way of telling him to fuck off and let me do my work in peace and quiet?!

TITLE: My wife said I should have dug through a bin of wet gym towels to find my Speedo that I mistakenly tossed in there
POST: So, at the gym today in the men's locker room, I had my Speedo wrapped in a towel to dry when I tossed in the very large bin of used towels. 2 minutes later i realized what i did, but by that time at least 5 other guys had thrown their towels into the bin... and the bin was already about half full. There was no way that I was going to go digging through dozens of wet or sweaty towels that have been on the floor, on random genitals, and on strange ass bits.
So I told my wife this story expecting a laugh and she looked at me incredulously because I DIDN'T go digging through the nasty heap towels. Then she started talking down to me like I was an paranoid germaphobe who was being completely unreasonable. Whaaaa?
I told her that you could get fungus, warts, staph and a whole strain of other infections from this sort thing and she just told me that I should wash my hands afterwards.

TITLE: Me [20 M] in a 1 year relationship, girl wants to take it to the next level
POST: Okay everyone, I created a reddit account to ask you all for some advice. I've been dating a great girl for almost a year, we get along great and we're both in college, living in separate apartments, and have different groups of friends.
I'm fairly introverted in the sense that being with someone for extended periods of time is exhausting. Because we have such different lives, we only spend 3-5 days a week together and communicate through text/etc when we are apart. This works for us and I rarely get sick of seeing her.
Now however, she wants to take our relationship to the next level and has told me she wants to find a place and move in together. I don't want this at all because I need my alone time and the personal space that living separately gives me. She is very insistent and any mention of my concerns ends with her stating that I dont love her, etc etc.
As stated I am still very young and I'm not ready for this.
-Am I selfish or are my thoughts reasonable?
-How do I tell her I don't want this without it ruining our relationship?

POST: Hey Reddit, I'm a 21 year old female and I can't seem to find a decent summer job.
For the past two summers, I worked at my community college where we had a learning assistance center where I tutored math through calculus. We were always swamped with people who needed help with their summer classes.
However, when I transferred to a university in January, I lost my job. I tutor for my university currently, but it's individually based instead of hourly like my old job. I finished my semester last week and will start my spring classes that run three days a week from 9-11am.
I fell into my first job because I was good at math and my school recruited me. I'm not sure how to go about looking for a part time summer job. I've applied for a bunch of part time nannying jobs on care.com with no luck. I know I will have to quit for fall semester because I have such a heavy course load.
Any advice for looking for summer time work? I hold an Associate's degree in science. My current university doesnt have much to offer.

Anyway, my mom and I got DS's a while back for birthday gifts. They were both used, but I really enjoyed playing with my mom (we liked playing mario and yugioh) So anyway she got sick and ended up having her leg amputated and the DS's got put away. She recently mentioned them because she was bored over the weekend. I pulled them out and found that both of them had thier upper screen broken. I don't really know how this happened. I told her and she was pretty upset. I'd love to buy her a new one so she could at least play but I don't have a lot if any money (some weeks it's medicine or groceries) so I wanted to know if there is a cheap way to repair the screen? Any where i could get a SUPER cheap replacement screen? I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to these sorts of devices so I don't really know what is entailed or if I could even do it. Here are some pics of the broken DS's.

TITLE: Girlfriend [20] wants to get tattoos and I (her boyfriend) [24] am not attracted to them.
POST: Me [24] and my girlfriend (Natalie) [20] have been going out for 8 months now. We love each other deeply and see ourselves getting married one day. Natalie really likes tattoos and she plans to get many over the course of her life. Maybe it's because i'm from Michigan (a more conservative state) and she is from California, or perhaps it's what I was told was beautiful as a child, or maybe it's because I simply enjoy the natural look of a woman, but I have always been objected to the look of tattoos. I can appreciate them, I can enjoy the art, I will not judge someone for them, but I simply just don't think it's attractive.
My girlfriend is worried about this and understandably so. She is concerned that things won't be the same once she gets them, and honestly I don't know exactly how I'm going to react to it once I see them. However getting tattoos is not something that she is willing to compromise. She has made it clear to me that this is something she is going to do regardless of my viewpoint.
I will love this girl regardless of her image. If all her teeth go knocked out tomorrow, I would still love her with all my heart. But I can't promise that I will still have the same level of attraction to her.
Any advice on this issue would be extremely helpful. I feel like we are kind of at a standstill and it doesn't sit right with either of us.Thanks and I will be available to answer any questions.

He dosen't hold my hand as much. I feel like i am his friend rather than his girlfriend. I have told him how i feel and he responded to me that people dont have to kiss and hug all the time and that just once is normal. which i honestly dont agree with that.
He also said that hes got into a routine with having a girlfriend and dosebt have to do the things he did at the begging.
When i told him that he made me feel special at the beginning and now hes distant and i feel like hes pushing me away, he replied with 'well thats just me, i cant manage yout emotions for you, you yourself can control/adapt them'.
That really hurt me these words that hes not even willing to do the little things he did like sweet text messages or calls etc I dont want gifts etc just for him to show me affection.

TITLE: I [18/M] have made mistakes making my intentions clear to [18/F] and I may have made it unnecessarily complicated
POST: I have known this girl for about a year, and I am certain I like her and I am almost certain she likes me. She has done all kinds of things convince me she likes me.
We had food together (just the two of us) a few weeks ago, she got tinder the moment I mentioned it in a conversation, and she kissed me on the neck and cheek at a party the other week. There seems to have been some attempts to make me jealous. My friends mentioned her and another friend was about to go into a relationship when that clearly wasn't the case, they were both clearly not really into it. When I was mentioned in a similar context she almost died of embarrassment (she hid under her arms for a few minutes and went bright pink). We have also told each other very deep and painful parts of our lives, and she has been very good with me about it and said she would always be there for me.
However, I think I have not been responding in the right way. When she kissed me I was tipsy and quite shocked so I didn't kiss her back like I really wanted to. I also told her I didn't want a GF a few months ago, when I did but thought that she was too high up socially, and later on she said she didn't want a BF for very similar reasons to me. I also got interrupted today so I didn't get a chance to ask her out like I wanted to. She seems to have been quite down in the dumps this week, and I have only talked to her twice. She told me some sad things about her and I wanted to hug her so badly, but If I had I think I would have been laughed at by others.
I really haven't got any idea of what to do, and I don't see her again until Monday at least. I don't want to ask her out by text since that is really impersonal. Ideas?

TITLE: [24/f] trying to be supportive of a friend [30/m] who's not the type to reach out for support.
POST: This is about a specific situation, but actually I struggle with this problem with any of my friends who are not the "reaching out" type.
So I'm the type of person who's very vocal when I'm having a rough time. I don't lie and my first impulse is to call a friend to tell them what happened. Sometimes I become over-reliant on others, but that's a problem for a different day.
Anyway, as such I struggle to identify with people who are "not the type to reach out" when feeling bad. I understand that sometimes these people just need time to process what has happened to them, and so they are in some sense asking for space that you should give them.
BUT, I also find that these type tends to assume that you can read their minds and just know when they *really* want you to ask questions and support them... but they will never come right out and say it and would never dream of picking up the phone and saying "help, I need you," no matter how badly they may actually need you.
So, how do you balance giving someone their needed space with also showing that you are there for them? (I know there's always the "I'm here if you need me" line, but I'm also aware that this type of person will almost never reach out and take you up on that, no matter how sincerely you mean it, even if they want you to be there for them.)

POST: Location: Sacramento, California, US
We are a three adult household (plus child on the way) renting a house from a property management company.
Our hot water heater is quite old (1977). It technically provides hot water, but not very much, especially in winter.
We figure that we can get about 10 gallons of hot water, plus 10 gallons of warm, before the heat drops to room temp.
We're curious about what the landlord is required to legally provide. My own googling just gives the general requirement of "hot water," but I haven't found any info on minimum requirements for volume, or tank age.
We're willing to split the cost with the landlord for an upgrade, but want to make sure that they're covering their legal requirements first before we contribute funds towards a replacement.

I currently am not my normal self lately, I've been sick with a chest infection for 3 weeks, I am tired and can't do anything right. It's affecting my grades in school etc.
* She told me she loved me within 2 months and expected me to say it back, I was super drunk and she was slightly intoxicated , I said I wasn't sure how to go about it because we were still early on in our relationship and I was still working up my feelings. She started making a scene infront of my friends and bawled and then wouldn't move off of the couch and then when i left to go home with my best friend she wouldn't let me go.
* That was the first sign and by the third month it had gotten to the point where she would take 30 minutes to leave even though she knew i had to be up at 5:20 am in the morning. I would always tell her earlier in advance that I was going to bed early and she would still do it.
* She has problems with past self injury and has attempted to end it all before on separate occasions, one time was very close and doctors saved her life.
* I have had her run out of my house at around 3 in the morning when she was upset with me because I didn't want to cuddle and I wanted to sleep. She was also upset because we were talking about her depression. I of course ran after her on the first occasion and walked for half an hour in freezing weather in my pajamas and a shirt.
* She has agreed to go see a psychologist this week, but I am so depressed and numb for the last few weeks that I am just not sure If I can do it any longer. I have just talked to her on the phone and said I need time to think, I'm not sure where to go from here..

POST: I was in two long-term relationships - 1 in high school and 1 in college. My high school boyfriend left me unexpectedly to pursue his ex-GF after we had been dating 2 years. I was upset at the time, but he now seems really committed to this girl and is still with her, so I'm genuinely happy for him.
My college boyfriend, who was mildly verbally/physically abusive, cheated on me after a few months with his ex. I gave him a second chance and he rewarded me by having a 6-month-long affair with the same girl near the end of our relationship.
My current, post-college boyfriend is 23 and we've been together for a year. He is wonderful. A great guy, very supportive. But given my past, I can't help but constantly worry about his ex. They dated for almost 3 years in college and she was a major part of his life. I almost feel like there's something "wrong" with me that drives boyfriends to their exes - and I'm afraid my trend will rub off on him next. He says he doesn't talk to her anymore, but there's a part of me that always thinks he's lying. To be clear, I know this isn't his fault, but mine. I obsess over wondering how long it will take him to cheat on me, how I'll find out, etc. I occassionally skim through her twitter feed "just in case." I feel like a crazy person. How do I get out of this rut and trust someone who has proven over a whole year to be completely trustworthy?

TITLE: Concerns about Sertraline
POST: Hi, so I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I visited a doctor a while back and she prescribed Sertraline for general anxiety and agoraphobia. While I started the medication I experienced dry mouth, which I was willing to sit with. One day, though, I was getting out of the shower and became extremely confused, which really scared me so I stopped the medication.
That was all before I started school. Since this semester began I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety. For a while I was handling that, until my grades started to fall. After that I became unmotivated, lethargic, and irritable.
Now I'm debating going back on the meds because I've not been able to "kick" the depression. My concern is that I might experience more of the side effects. If I've already experience a few, does that mean I'll experience the others?

I didn't really think this was a problem until yesterday. He came home for the day and all we did was have sex. No movies, no chatting, no leaving his bedroom. In fact, he didn't even ask if I was in the mood. Practically the minute we hit the bed he whips out a condom and that's that. Right afterward, he crashes from a lack of sleep and I head home. I felt kind of used.
Usually, we do a lot more together. He likes to make big romantic gestures and take me out as much as he can, we like to watch movies together, run errands, whatever. I just like spending time with him. He's genuinely a good person, so I'm not concerned that he's only with me for the perks of having a girlfriend, I'm just wondering if we both need to reassess how we handle sex. Have we allowed it to become the focus of the relationship? How much is too much? How do I fix this?

TITLE: Girlfriend and I are away from each other for the summer. Even though I trust her fully, I still get these feelings of angst and fear that the relationship will not last. Help?
POST: My girlfriend (19) and I (19/m) have been dating for 5 months now. I was given this awesome opportunity to work as an intern halfway across the country for the whole summer, from May 18 - August 25. I took the offer. My girlfriend and I have a very stable and happy relationship but we have never been away from each other for more than a week. Now we are away from each other for 3 months. We either text, call, or skype on a daily basis.
My girlfriend is incredibly beautiful and there are obviously guys who take interest in her. Sometimes these guys still pursue her even though they know that shes dating me. I don't believe my girlfriend is much of a flirt and she draws the line where it needs to be drawn. I have FULL trust in her. Bottom line: I have NO apparent reason to doubt her or have any fear of losing her because we constantly communicate and are honest with each other.
Ladies and gentlemen, I love this woman. I could potentially see myself spending the rest of my life with her. I don't understand why I still have these feelings and fears that I will lose her even though i put my FULL trust in her. I have talked to her about this and she has told me that she sometimes has the same exact feelings of insecurity about me being with other women even though she puts her full trust in me. Have any of you experienced this? What can I/we do?

TITLE: I don't think I'm cut out for this
POST: I just looked at my grades for my first semester of college, and they're just downright awful, I won't give any specifics but my GPA is not good. It's not because I'm not smart, I'm just so fucking lazy and i hate that about me. I know I should just suck it up and be mature about it but Its killing me. I told my parents what happened right away and I could feel their disappointment in the air. And it makes me feel terrible.
Not only that, all of first semester has been complete shit. I made a fool of myself so many times that I don't hang out with anyone anymore. In other words I have no close friends. And even worse, I'm starting to feel like a stranger around my high school friends.
And worst of all, I don't feel like I have any purpose in life, I don't know if I'm going in the right direction and can't bear to think of the future. I'm stuck in a hole and want to get out of it, I don't want to be lazy anymore, I don't want to spend my weekends alone anymore, and I want to feel like I have a purpose in this world.

TITLE: TIFU and nearly got hit by a car
POST: So I have to get two buses back from university to my house. This happened after the first bus, before the second.
Just before getting off bus 1 I put my earphones in, pressed play and set off to the bus stop just down the road. Half- concentrating on where I was going, but still conscious of my surroundings, I manoeuvre the crowded path to the crossing on the road. No green man yet, but a quick glance left and a quick glance right told me the road was clear. So I set off across.
Just as I get about half way I hear tyres screeching from the left, getting loud FAST. Shit. My heart skips a beat but thinks it's skipped a thousand so tries to make up for it my quadruple-speeding immediately. I suddenly sprint to the other side, and miraculously make it. Legs of jelly, forehead of sweat, I'm alive.
Looking back up and down the road, the car doesn't exist. All I see is the same empty road and two guys on the other side looking at me strangely for what I had just done. That's when I realised: the screech of tyres was in my earphones. It was the song I was listening to, not a car in the real world. My head goes from sweating to beet red, and I slowly make my way to bus number two, earphones definitely out of my ears this time.

POST: Reddit, I'm shaking right now. My dog is a puppy, 6 months old. I just recently bought a choke collar for her and a long lead and was walking to the park to teach her how to come when called. In the middle of our walk to the park, her collar breaks and she darts off. She thinks I'm chasing her, and she runs away from me. I live in downtown Los Angeles, and she was running into traffic. She ran into the middle of a green light and almost caused an accident, and luckily the dog park was on the other side of the street. She started playing with the dogs and i eventually caught her and put her collar on. The only thing I'm proud of is that I did not hit her or smack her or anything negative. I know it wouldn't do any good but I don't feel comfortable taking her out now. I'm afraid I've taught her to run away when she's off-leash and I'm approaching her. Can someone help? Puppy pics included.

TITLE: I[f23] need some tips on how to deal with my SO [m23] and his single male mentality. We've been dating for 1.5yrs.
POST: I have a couple things that I need some advice on how to address. He has some bad habits that aren't really bad habits... if you're single. We are living together and going to college. At LEAST 3 or 4 times a month we'll be at home doing our own separate things and he'll just get up and leave the house to hang out with our other roommate or his friends without saying a single word to me! I encourage him to have is own life apart from me but I think it is self centered and disrespectful to just leave the house and stay out all night without even saying "hey I'm going to go meet up with friends, see you later." I'm not trying to stop him or control him in anyway, I just want to be kept in the loop. I've brought this up before and sometimes he apologizes and says he wont do it again but he does do it again and when I bring it up again he gets very defensive.
I know I am being insecure about this but when we are out together with friends, he reminisces about "the good days" when he was 17 and in a band doing all sorts of drugs ALL the time, drunk most of the time and bringing home girls left, right and center. I understand that he is probably exaggerating some of the stories but it hurts to hear those stories being told like those were the best days of his life and it has been all downhill from there. In my girl brain I hear, "I wish i was single and had no responsibilities, and being with you (me) isn't what I really want"
These are the 2 most prominent things that happen. There are more scenarios that add to my issues.
Any advice on how to deal with this?

TITLE: Me [20M] with my SO [21F] having problems communicating
POST: Hello /r/relationships!
Me and my SO for 3 months have been having a hard time expressing our feelings and it is kind of slowly breaking the relationship.
So a little background: I've been seeing this girl for almost 10 months now, however we didn't officially start dating until this September.
We click on a lot of levels and have a fantastic sex life.
We both had long-term relationships before this one that kind of messed us up too.
My question is, she will sometimes text me stuff like "<3 <3 <3" or "thinking about you ;)" and I never know how to respond.
My ex-girlfriend never did stuff like that and it feels weird to me text feelings like that.
So when I respond with "ok :)" or ":D <3" she will get pretty upset and try to take back what she said because to her she feels like she is being rejected.
How can I make her understand that its not that I'm rejecting her, I just don't know what to do in that type of situation?
The L-word hasn't been said, but i've been hinting around it for a while and just waiting for the right time.
I do think that I really do love this girl and want her for the long haul but I feel like this is just making it very hard
Any advice will be greatly appreciated :)

TITLE: [18/M] my girlfriend[17/F]'s parents found out we had sex. Help?
POST: First post, some background:
We've been in a relationship for about 7 months now, and the physical aspect of it didn't start until about 5 months in. She's always been innocent, as in never done anything in her life sexually. As for me, I wasn't a virgin going into the relationship, messed around with a lot of people before. However, I was completely fine not doing anything for those 5 months, then one day we started doing regular teenage things with our bodies. (not sex.) Things progressed from there, and the past couple weeks we've been having great, regular sex, my parents being out of town and her sleeping over at my house while telling her parents she was somewhere else.
Well, today she calls me and tells me that her parents know everything that's been going on. Her dad is very uptight, strict, etc; and he and I were pretty cool before this all happened. One of those intimidating "you-want-my-daughter-go-through-me" type of guys, but we hit it off okay. Her mom is also like that, but less so in that she isn't aggressive. (I should also mention her dad was in the hospital for high blood pressure a few weeks ago.)
Anyway, what should I do? Our relationship likely won't ever be the same again, but it was the healthiest I've ever had with a person. Her parents hate me, and I'm going to college in a month or so, is this just the right time to break things off? We've talked and we'd still be friends, of course, but it's pretty rough. Do I continue the relationship and make it hard on her because of her parents? Or should I try to patch things up with them so I can even show my face around their neighborhood? (Unlikely.)
Help!

TITLE: Reddit, what are your best, or possibly worst, camping experiences?
POST: For me, about a year ago a few buddies and I went up to a cabin out in the middle of nowhere that very few people know about. Our hike most of the way was through a big old winter storm coming in. Upon arrival and a few beers we decided to take our liquid courage into sledding form. Eventually I ended up slamming into a tree (fortunately without injury). After that we all sat around smoking cigars while looking at a mountain across the valley, and we came to the dead set conclusion that some maniac mountain man was hiking the damn thing pretty close to sunset, and thought he was for sure in for a very cold night in sub zero temps. After that we moved our efforts into the cabin and made some delicious dinner consisting of cheese bratwursts, onions, green peppers, and whatever else we could find. Once bed time rolled around one of my buddies tried to stumble up the ladder to the loft of the cabin, and ended up slipping off and falling around 8 feet right onto my back. Didn't even care at this point and just started cracking up for the next few minutes. All in all just fun with a bunch of guys in the middle of fucking nowhere.

TITLE: After nearly a year of countless applications...
POST: I finally got a job! I've never been so happy to piss in a cup before in my life. I am convinced that even though online job sites have openings in seemingly entry level jobs, that they really aren't hiring. After checking sites like craigslist (only restaurants, everything else on there is pretty much a scam) and Indeed.com and applying to every position that I qualified for the only place that ever called me in for an interview was McDonald's... and they didn't even hire me! I even tried through a temp agency for a while to no avail. What really pissed me off about the temp service is that the only job they ever wanted to offer me was an over-night housekeeping position at a hospital. I have experience as a housekeeper but I was being upfront and honest when I said that housekeeping isn't something I was interested in doing anymore. I suppose beggars can not be choosy though. Just as I was seriously considering this job, I saw in the newspaper (hey, I was looking in every resource I could get my hands on for a job!) that they had not only one but two ads for jobs that I would much rather do than house keep! One was an administrative job and the other was a production job. When I had called to question why they never offered those positions to me (I was very poignant and called the temp service twice a week to see what was available); they said that was just so that they could get people in to put in applications! I said, why do they need more applications when they can not even find jobs for the people that have already signed up!
And I really want to say thanks to reddit because I did take a lot of advice here to heart. I wish I could link to the posts and give due credit. One post was something along the lines of: (Dealing with confidence issues) "Just fake it until you make it." Another post was a very informative post on askreddit about tips for when you actually do get interviews that said that s/he added at the end of the interview, when asked if s/he had any questions said: "What can I do or say today that will give me this job tomorrow?" (I totally said this!)

TITLE: A dose of reality of who my real family is
POST: I got the best dose of reality from my cousin and my neighbor. Backstory: I had invited my parents neighbor, an older couple, to the wedding because they have been good family friends. They still live with their two adult children, 37 and 40 (both have a form of Autism). They are great people but I'm not super close compared to other people on our guest list. We always had them in the back of our minds for when we got any "nos".
Now, my cousin was always on the guest list but once the save the dates were sent he bitched about everything-not having a plus one-not inviting his children-not inviting his entire side of the family (25 people we didn't have money for!). Well, the due date for the RSVPs came and went and we called him up and he said he won't be going and claimed he "lost" the invitation. I wouldn't put it past this asshole to throw it out and we are all pretty damn sure that is exactly what he did.
So now we had the room after several "nos" to invite my neighbor's adult children. My mother walked down to hand deliver and RSVP card and invite. The girl answered the door and my mom explained we had room and we would love to have her and her brother at the wedding. She started crying she was so happy! She went on for about 5 or 10 minutes about how excited she was and she will be getting a new dress and everything. It's stuff like this that reminds me who really cares for me and who I should be caring more about.

POST: I don't know what to do. We've been together for a year and a half but we've had the same problems over and over. Whenever I try to talk about our issues, calmly or not so much, he always closes up and says he's a bad boyfriend and that he's sorry for ruining my life and just other stuff like that, that makes me feel depressed. He's been married and obviously divorced, and cheated on his wife (which I found out feom a friend) with one other girl who eventually cheated on him, and he has trust issues. Which I understand but day after day while I'm away at college, he always says that he's sure I'll replace him soon and that I'm probably thinking about it. I've been nothing but faithful and I've tried to be understanding when he says that stuff but it hurts that he even thinks that, even after everything we've been through. I feel like he is still so emotionally scarred and just so withdrawn within his pain that I won't be able to get him to open up. I just want to be with him, that's all. But it's hard when he says these things and makes me feel terrible about myself and our relationship.

TITLE: Hey, r/relationships. I [F20] am American, born and raised. My Indian-American SO [M23] of two and a half years officially "outed" me to his parents. I could use some advice.
POST: To give the long-story short, SO's parents have known he's had a girlfriend for quite some time, but have chosen to ignore it (either thinking it wasn't serious, or that it would end and he would move on). A few days ago, he decided to "out" me to his parents, and spent several hours making his case and defending me. His parents came to the consensus that they would *consider* meeting me. Boyfriend said he gives his parents a month until they cave and want to meet me.
My SO and I are rather serious, and while we are still a way's off, we've discussed marriage in the future. So, obviously, it is very important to me that when I meet his parents, I want to make as good a impression on them as possible. They have fears and trepidations about their son being in a relationship with someone that was not born and raised in their culture, and had put up a fight about it.
Although born in India, my SO spent almost his entire life living and growing up in the states. He easily identifies as American with regards to his Indian (Gujarati) heritage.
Does anyone have any advice or perspectives to share? Is there anything that I can do personally (besides the obvious, like continuing to be a good girlfriend) to make this whole process of meeting his parents and --hopefully-- getting along with them easier? I ask my boyfriend plenty of questions about cultural things to keep in mind, do's and don'ts, but I can only nag him so much. He remains absolutely certain that they're going to love me when they meet me.

POST: Ok like many other stories this was set a long time ago when I was a kid.
It was like any other day at school, at recess I decided I wanted to eat more now and have less at lunch so I put my lunchbox on the playground jungle gym sort of thing, at lunchtime I realised I never bought it back to class so I asked my teacher and left with another kid we'll call him Brian to go collect my lunchbox. The playground was surrounded by a row of hire huts that our school was using since the music area was being renovated. So I climb up the ladder to the top of the playground (It's really not that high) and collect my lunchbox, now I'm a badass so I decide Ive jumped off this thing before why not do it in front of Brian? So I go "watch this" and jump, I immediately feel pain I landed balls first into one of the ladder sticks, "What the?" I mumble I start to walk a few steps in front of a bunch of kids who watched this unfold they're asking if I'm ok. For some reason I can't here them I then just fell straight onto the floor, Brian just runs to go notify staff or something but I don't see him again. The crying begins I've realised what just happened and the pain is incredible, I get walked to the nurse and since she's a girl I have to self-examine myself it BLEEDING! WTF? I tell her and my Mum picks me up the shame is awful I get rushed to a emergency appointment at my local GP and that day of every 365 frickin' days a year they have a uni nurse, my GPs a man and the nurse is a woman, ugh... So my Mum says it's fine if they both examine my nuts really? They really couldn't do anything and they didn't want me on painkillers so I just had to wait... Later that year I had testicle torsion.

Here's where I fucked up.
She burst into tears and ran from the room, just as the music went quiet. Everyone stared at me.
I knew that my singing was *bad*, but even by my standards, this wasn't a normal reaction!
Asking around later, it turns out that she'd run away from home only three weeks ago after her stepfather physically and sexually abused both her and her mother.
And no sexy times were had.

TITLE: My parents (50sF/60sM) won't allow my fiancé (28M) and myself (25F) to share a bed when we visit
POST: So, to start I want to explain the issue of us not being allowed to share a bed isn't the biggest deal to me as we only visit for a day or two every few months and actually lived near enough for awhile this is the first time we've dealt with it in 2 years. My actual issue is that it feels sort of insulting in a way? As if we'd be so immature that we'd have sex in their home or our 5 year relationship and the fact that we share a home is so meaningless that sharing a bed is obscene? My mother (who lived with her previous bf before she met my dad and also lived with him before marriage as well) explained it once 4 years ago as "my house, my rules and sharing a bed before marriage is a sin and I won't allow it under my roof". I don't know if my dad actually cares as he had a kid when he met my mom and isn't religious.
I'm basically just wondering if there is a tactful way to bring it up for discussion with them? Like I said, it's not sharing a bed that is important to me as much as it is not being allowed that bothers me. And yes, I know once we're married we'll be allowed to (I hope!) but... It just feels unnecessarily controlling as it currently stands.

TITLE: I [18 M] have been talking to [18 F] in my class. We do a quick conversation but don't talk much after. I'm also interested in asking her out but not sure how to go with that
POST: Hopefully this doesn't become too long
So the girl i sit next to we generally just say simple things and actions but it just stops soon.
An example is she'll look up me walking to my seat, she smiles at me, I smile at her. I say something like "Whats up" and she'll say something pretty bland like "nothing much, you?" Then I said "Ah, I just took two tests, so pretty tired and dead beat" then it just kinda stops there
I just assumed she doesn't like me so she doesn't want to talk much but half the time she starts the conversation with me. But sometimes (like today) we just didn't say anything to each other. She also was homeschooled so maybe she doesn't know how to converse either? I dunno
Also, I don't know if this matters but this professor is really weird and had us have assigned seats. So we had two weeks of preparation for us to have our permanent seats, both of us haven't moved out seats and are now just sitting next to eachother
Ever since I was a kid I've been really shy/awkward especially too women (i've never dated) so I guess I'm just not sure how to keep the conversation going. She's also generally one of the people in our class to be in class discussions but I'm generally not, maybe I should also start bringing my self in?

TITLE: How do I (21/M) tell my girlfriend that she's (21/F) being a downer?
POST: Length of relationship: 3 years
My girlfriend hasn't always been like this. She has always had a bit of a problem with depression, anxiety and stress, but lately its becoming an every day thing. Everyone else is doing something to piss her off, she's always making the wrong decisions and fucking this up, things like that. She has also been pretty stressed out about transferring schools, and makes comments nearly daily about how she's just going to drop out of school.
I try to console her as much as possible, but no matter what I say she generally doesn't listen to my advice and continues on with her tirade about her life sucks and how she should "just move away from this life and start a new one." I gotta be honest, it's pretty tiring hearing how horrible her life is, and it's starting to become a pretty big turnoff. She is also seeing a therapist who has said she needs more therapy.
My question is, how do I talk to my girlfriend about this in a way she will listen?

TITLE: [m/20] ~40lbs lost in 4 months and losing motivation.
POST: Hey there people of LoseIt. Like all of you I've been fighting to lose weight and it feels like I'm succeeding.
I started my journey in January this year. I had already been struggling with my weight for a long time but in January I had enough. Back then I weighed in at 229lbs and I knew that it was getting out of hand.
Some backstory: When I was younger I was a very sporty and energetic person, I used to play hockey and actually enjoyed exercise. Then my asthma broke out and I had to quit hockey due to not really being able to keep up with the rest of the team. After this a serious of pretty serious medical conditions surfaced and I found it harder and harder to keep my weight in check. Several years passed where I didn't really exercise at all, I spent most of my time sitting still and in addition to this I started eating unhealthy.
Okay, back to the present day. For four months now I've been eating healthy, tracking my calories with MFP as well as hitting the gym 3-4 times a week (slacking some weeks, you know how it goes). My current weight is 189lbs, it's the goal weight I set up to hit around the end of March. I get that an additional month isn't that much, but it's kind of messing with my mentality. I'd like to lose more, my new goal weight is 172lbs. Due to my studies being very time consuming I haven't had time to hit the gym on the hours that I want. This is leading to me not hitting the gym at all, slacking with my calorie tracking etc. It's a vicious cycle where my lack of motivation makes me lose less, when I know that I could lose more if I just found the motivation. I've also started eating more fast food again because I'm too tired to cook something healthy. Have anyone been in a similar situation, and how did you regain the motivation? I'm sorry for making such a long post to land on this very easy question, I guess I needed to vent a bit because I'm so frustrated over myself.
TL;DR: . Assistant:
|
lost 40 pounds in 4 months instead of 3 that was my goal. Due to this I'm slowly losing my motivation, not losing as much weight as I'd like. Any tips for regaining and maintaining motivation?

TITLE: My [25f] boyfriend [23M] never wants to do anything
POST: 3 months ago I moved across the country to live with my boyfriend of 2 years (we were in a LDR). I have no friends and family here. everything is ok and all but we've been bumping heads a lot lately when it comes to going out and spending time together. My boyfriend works a hard 50 hrs a week as a diesel mechanic. he wakes up at 5am and doesn't get home till about 6-7pm. he is also a Sergent for the army reserves so he has more responsibilities than just the diesel job. he has off (most) weekends. I have a boring job as a security officer. I work 12 hours shifts but I only do 3 days a week. I also do some extra work on the side to bump my hours up to 40+ a week. I usually leave work with a lot of energy to do stuff but I don't bother my boyfriend during the week because I know he is tired and just wants to relax. On weekdays I keep myself occupied.
by Saturday, I am restless to spend time with my boyfriend but all he wants to do is stay at home and play video games. I ask him why he never wants to do anything and he says because he works hard all week and all he wants to do during the weekends is relax at home. ok but... when will there be time for us??? He says when he takes some vacation time off we can do things.
Does that sound normal to you? Not doing anything at all with your SOs unless on special snowflake occasions? I get that he works hard but I also think he should put some effort into the relationship too. are my feeling validated or an I just being a high maintenance girlfriend?

TITLE: TIFU by rocking out too hard to some Foo Fighters.
POST: This happened last night at a bar with some friends.
We were enjoying a typical Friday night. Pregamed the bars with some brews and wine, BS'd and what not. Went to one of the Friday night bars in town, which is within walking distance of about 3 other bars that are always packed on Fridays. We were getting ready to leave the first bar, our group of about 5 standing by the door waiting for my girlfriend to come back from the restroom. I hear, very faintly, Dave Grohl's beautiful voice through the chaos of a packed bar. He's saying "I've got another confession to make!" If you've heard this song (and who hasn't?), you know there's no instrumentals going on while Dave belts out the opening line. Then, there's some faint guitar in the background, but not enough to really hear over a noisy bar scene. But then, oh then, there's the magnificent "I needed somewhere to hang my head" and the full instrumental "drop." Basically, it's a classic headbanging moment. Which is where I fucked up..
Because nobody but me heard the song, I was the only one to react to this part, headbanging rather intensely. One headbang is all it took. Next thing I know, it feels like somebody stabbed me in the eye with a hot steak knife. I clutch my face and turn around, run into the wall, and just scream.
Turns out, I handbanged right into my friends hand, specifically, her thumb, who happened to be raising it at that exact moment. Now it looks like I got punched square in the eye because it's black and blue and there's a cut underneath it. I've had to explain to everyone who has seen me today that I rocked out a little too hard to the Foo.
Which is kind of badass in it's own right.

TITLE: Me (M20) and my girlfriend (F23) have been dating for a while but apparently her Father (M50) doesn't want us dating, what should we do?
POST: Hey Reddit, since you guys were pretty helpful last time I asked for relationship advice I'm hoping that can be the case this time too. So I've been dating my current girlfriend since this past August and things have been great. I've actually known her for 3 years but when we tried dating when I was 17 and she was 20, her mom was having none of that so obviously things didn't last very long. So, 3 years later and we're trying again, this time with her mother's approval and her father's approval, or so we thought. Last night my girlfriend's dad gave her a long winded conversation of basically why he doesn't like me, how apparently he thinks I'm not going anywhere in life (to be fair I'm only a student in my 2nd year of Architecture technology, not sure where he got that idea from), he also said I don't talk to him enough when he's never really tried to make conversation with me and says I don't look him in the eye which I have, not sure where that's coming from either, point is he doesn't like me. She mostly thinks it has to due with him being raised by an abusive father, for he kept saying to her well I would never bring a girl to my house when I was your age, which my girlfriend said to me she wouldn't have either if she lived in that house. On a side, my girlfriend has cerebrallypalsy affecting the right side of her brain but its an extremely mild case. The only things she can't really do is drive and cut her own food and other two handed tasks that most people take for granted. So I guess because of this her parents are a little bit more protective. But last night my girlfriend's Father also compared her to her older brother and older sister, saying he never had to deal with any of this from them, (neither of them have any disabilities) so my girlfriend got pretty upset and doesn't know what to do. She wants to move out but her mom won't let her. I say they shouldn't have it both ways but I'm worried they're going to make her dump me regardless.

TITLE: As a single father, when should I be able to take my infant son?
POST: As in, being able to take him on my own away from the mother for a few hours. I have been there since the beginning as our plan is to raise him as friends but not a couple. I buy diapers and have paid for visits to breast feeding clinics and what not, so I wouldn't call myself a deadbeat dad or anything. I try to visit him everyday or at least every other day. He is now 9 weeks old but the mother won't let him out of her sight and the thought of her letting me have him makes her inconsolable. Basically I just want to be able to take him for a few hours at a time (go to friends or my parents). At this point I can't even take him for a walk around the block.
I am looking for advice from parents (especially parents that have been in my shoes or the mother's). I really want to keep the courts out of this but obviously there will come a point where I can't take it anymore and need to lawyer up. She says things like she doesn't want to miss his first laugh but how is that fair to me? So he is 9 weeks old now. What is a reasonable age for me to take him from his mother for a few hours? He is breast and bottle fed.

TITLE: I'm a recently minted lawyer thinking of taking two years off from the legal profession and worried it will kill any chance of becoming a lawyer in the future. Advice from experienced lawyers appreciated.
POST: Here is my situation. I'm a recent grad (2010) who was no-offered from my summer associate position with a large NY firm. Since then I've been bumming around doing a few temp jobs and looking for a permanent position. At the urging of a buddy of mine and on a whim I applied to the Teach for America program. The T for A program takes non-teachers, puts them in under-served education markets for two years with the goal of closing the achievement gap in those areas. Think inner city schools, Indian reservations, etc.
Here's my problem (or opportunity in disguise.) I've been accepted to the program and need to make a decision by this Friday on whether I'm going to spend the next two years teaching high school chemistry. I was excited for this opportunity until I checked in with my counselor at my old law school who told me that taking two years off from the legal profession, especially as a new attorney, could very seriously hamper any chance I would have of returning to the legal profession. To further complicate matters my legal education was far from cheap (200K in debt) so there is the practical matter of how I would pay that off if I couldn't return to the legal profession (the loans are in paid deferment while I'm in the T for A program.)
After that wall of text now comes the question. As an experienced attorney what would you say about this situation? If I came to you two years from now looking for a legal job what would be your feelings?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TITLE: Internet relationship in danger of collapsing in a few hours, is there a way to save it? 22M 18F
POST: I'll keep it as short as I can.
I'm from the UK and she's in California. We met on [1] /r/BDSMpersonals and have been talking and "playing" for getting on for three months. She's coming to the UK as the first leg of a tour of Europe in early July and we agreed to take a few days to basically screw each other's brains out. Ultimately what I'm looking for is a long term relationship but I'm moving cities roughly at the same time she's coming here (phrasing, boom...) so I figured it would work out well.
She's said before that she 's not looking for any kind of commitment and, after an incident where we had to redefine our relationship, we seemed to be OK. I made the cut into the people she actually decided to stick with. I'm starting to come round to the idea of her being polyamourous (I'm really not) but some of her choices of partner definitely freak me out.
Fast forward to today and I get an email where she pretty much says that she's found exactly what she's looking for (roughly speaking it equates to a committed relationship) and wants to put things on hold between us sexually for as long as it takes her to get settled. She still wants to talk to me and still wants to see me in the summer but we can't "play" for this indeterminate period of time.
Is there a way that this won't end up with me becoming her friendzoned friend who hears about all the people she's with (often in uncomfortable detail) based on a promise of sex in a few months based on a mutual attraction?
I really like her and she really likes me but the more I learn about her life and the way she appears to treat people close to her, the more I wonder whether there's just no hope.
Obviously you are only hearing my side and it's coloured by how I feel right now but I'd appreciate any advice you may have.

POST: **Yeah, this relationship is rocky. I wouldn't be in it if it weren't worth it to me, we've grown up a lot in the past year and want to make it work. Please take all information with this in mind.**
I'd like to preface this by saying lying is never the right approach, and I answered her truthfully when she asked. However, I don't believe in dwelling on the past because it feels like a focus on who a person was rather than who they are now.
My girlfriend wants to know every detail of the encounter, and with who, and why, and where. I'm not at all comfortable with this, whether that's through insecurity or just a value system. I don't have contact with the person didn't have contact with them after the fact, told her it was me trying to throw the virginity out of the way, etc. Didn't seem to help much, and she still wants to know who.
I think this is immature and a breach of my boundaries. I don't dwell on her sexual past, and she never told me any details when I asked about hers, and I feel better not knowing who, or why, or where. I'm in this relationship, right now, with just her, and only want the best from it. My past experiences do not weigh in at all.
I lied because I was insecure and weak and cowardly, and bringing up something so suppressed is taking it's toll on me.
I'll provide any further information if asked.

Ok so its about8/9 at night and my mam refuses to cook me anything to eat, which is probably fair i had already eaten that day but i was quite hungry, so she told me to go make toast in the toaster, which i did without hesitation [me loves me some toast].
So all's well and good coming to the end of the toasting process, keep in mind im a ridiculously picky eater so if my toast is in anyway brown or burnt, I wont eat it. I didnt want to take it all out because then i would mess it up, I just wanted to see how it was doing. I was compltely unaware that you are very likely to die by putting metal in the toaster and I wasnt risking burning my pinky so I did what any logical 12 year old does in this situation. Shanked my toaster with a fork to see if it was burnt. Needless to say after the toaster exploded and my houses power was out for 37 hours, my toast was burned and I was very disappointed. Everytime my family comes around for dinner I am reminded of this moment of sheer genius from my past...

TITLE: Trying to keep my[20f] relationship together with my fiancé [24m] for the sake of our 1yr old.
POST: My fiancé and I have been together for four years, he is the love of my life. Two years ago I was sure he was the man I would spend the rest of my life with and I thought I couldn't wait to have a baby with him, so I got pregnant. For a while everything was great, it wasn't perfect and we definitely had our problems but they were workable.
Then, back in August I catch him talking to his ex girlfriend, nothing really inappropriate but I had asked him in the beginning of our relationship not to talk to her because it made me uncomfortable (they had just broken up 2 months before we started dating). We had a huge argument and he cried to me and swore he'd never do something to fuck up our relationship again. Then 5 weeks later his female friend has relationship problems and he lies to me and says he's staying late at school and can't pick our daughter up, so he can goto her house for an hour and help her, I guess. I caught him, he admitted everything but insists that nothing happened. I believe him, kind of.
Here's the thing, I don't want to be with him anymore. I love our daughter so much though and I know that if I just tried, we could get through this for her sake. I also dug my own grave when I got pregnant because I set myself up to rely on his income. I feel like he's holding me back and like I'm holding myself back and quite honestly I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of fun things that people my age are doing and it kills me. I know now that we were no where near ready to have a child but I feel like it's my responsibility to stay with him and live out the life I've created for myself. Even if it means I having to be unhappy.

POST: Sorry in advance for the extremely long post..So let me start off by saying my whole life I have lived in states that don't have very bad insect problems, little spiders at the most. I recently moved south west and I'm experiencing large insects constantly for pretty much the first time.
You're probably thinking this sounds ridiculous but it gets better. The house I'm currently living in is constantly having cockroach problems. Most the time they will be dead and I'll find a few of them laying in the living room or kitchen. That alone grosses me out beyond belief. We get our house sprayed but somehow they manage to get in.
About three times in the past week I have came across live ones and I have almost gone into shock. It's gotten so bad that I'm sometimes scared to do the dishes because I fear a live cockroach will crawl on my hand or whatever it may be. Let me be clear, my boyfriend and I have an amazing relationship so that really has nothing to do with this.. Anyway, I've stressed this to my boyfriend plenty of times and I've even mentioned moving to a new house. He does show that he cares that I'm so freaked out and disgusted by the bugs and he will do anything he can to make sure they don't get in to the house, but he pretty much refuses to even think about moving. He's lived in this house for a while and I've only lived here with him for a year. He really enjoys the space of the house and the backyard which I can understand. But the bug problem is really starting to get to me and I don't think he truly understands how bad it freaks/grosses me out.
Am I being petty over something so small?

so I asked her if her mom actually wanted her to break up with me, or if she was just trying to breakup in a nice way and she said "Yeah she does. Plus I've never been good at relationships anyway." And I said "So you don't want to date me anymore?" And she said "Yeah .-. But ughh its hard to explain".
Then right after this conversation she started texting me like we were still dating (ex. "hey whats up?') Except there wasn't any flirting like there was before. I talked to her sister about it and she said "Btw dude she still like you but doesn't wanna be in a relationship so you guys are still buddies".
Is it friendzone? Or is there a chance I can get her back when shes ready for a relationship? It really confused me because the day before we broke up she was talking about how much she liked me and holding hands/cuddling and all that stuff. (She said "So when I was holding your hand I was thinking of this Pierce the Veil song that says 'I wanna hold your hand so tight, Im gonna break my wrist'").

TITLE: Should I [18/m] leave my girlfriend [18/f] for my friends sister [26/f]?
POST: Okay so I have the details of mine and my friends sister's relationship in this like -->
So that was it, if you didn't read, basically I have known her since I was in 6th grade and I've always had a crush on her. My friend is cool with me dating her, and I think she's amazing. She has a two year old baby and has had bad luck with guys. But she's an awesome person and mother.
I'm 18, just out of high school and going into the military, my girlfriend is same as me, but going into college. We've been together for almost 2 1/2 years. It started out awesome, she's smart, and beautiful! She still is, but she's driving me insane!! She can't stand a day without me, gets mad when I'm with my friends, and straight up told me she is going to break up with me when I leave for the military! Ever since she said that I've felt different about her and it made me feel like I don't mean very much.
Every time I talk to her now I just get agitated. I haven't seen her for a week because she was out of town with family, and I went to see her for a little bit because I had to go home and clean (My mom is intense with cleaning) and she got pissed. I haven't talked to her since, but I don't really want to. What do you think I should do?
TL;DR: . Assistant:
|
My girlfriend said she's gonna leave me when I go into the military. I've been talking to my friends sister lately who has a baby and I like her a lot. Don't know what to do.

TITLE: How do i (21f) get over my envy/jealousy?
POST: I've always known I wasn't a looker. I know I'm too skinny, tiny boobs, tiny butt, too tall, too this and too that. Whatever. Not everyone can be Jennifer Aniston or Kim Kardashian. Thats cool. But i thought that if a man wanted to sleep with you and be in a relationship with you, at least he thought you were pretty to him...
Well, when i found out that wasn't true, it kind of messed with my head. I already knew i wasn't attractive, so why would i be surprised that my boyfriend thinks the same? But it sucks and it hurts and it makes me so, so jealous of other, beautiful women. Including my sisters.
It started with just little comments from my boyfriend. When he wasn't even angry. He'd just point out stuff. Someone told me that i had a sexy voice and he said he'd heard sexier. He's said he preferred different boobs but mine are good enough, that other girls have better hips or hair or style or are prettier or would make him too stupid so he's happy he's with me.
And i get that thats all messed up stuff to say to someone else, but its not like it was all at one time and it was a year and a half ago that he basically stopped that behavior and now tells me I'm beautiful and stuff but i don't believe him and i don't think anyone will ever think that and I'm so jealous of girls with boyfriends who can't keep their hands off each other. I want passion. I want to be that girl.
But i never will be and i need to just be a big girl and accept that, but it really sucks and it really hurts and i feel so stupid and pathetic at the same time. How do i just accept that i will not be physically attractive and that's alright?

after realizing i am not attractive, i am incredibly envious and jealous of other beautiful women. How to accept being unattractive?

TITLE: I feel like she's being unfair, am I wrong?
POST: So a brief little run down I(25/M) have been with my fiancee(F/23) for almost 6 years now, all of which we have lived here at my home with my mom(66) and my son, we had a child together last November, sweetest baby ever, anyway. She's upset cause she wants a place of her own and doesn't want to live with my mom anymore. I work with my mom and she's currently training me to take over her dog grooming business. My fiancee has no job at the moment, but is looking for a job in her field of study, she's a registered Nurses assistant. We can't move out for obvious reasons, so i proposed a deal to her, we stay here until I take over the business and she gets a job in nursing.
She's not happy here cause my mom does interfere with raising my son, and I've told her before to stop and she has tried, shes just a very persistent person. My fiancee has also said to me that I'm not romantic enough, she would like me to plan an entire day together and shit like that. Well about 5 days ago she left because she was angry over all this and told me she would be back today, she needed some time apart, which I understand everyone does right? Well today i told her if she's not coming home she needs to take the baby for the night cause I have to work in the morning, expecting her to say she will be home today, she said "Yeah I guess so". I lost it, I didn't flip out with anger, i was just more upset than anything, I miss her so much and I just want things back to the way they were.
I had a nightcap planned for after the kids go to bed for a couple funny movies to watch and blah blah, well her response to that is, "Oh, i expected more than that". I just think she's being completely unreasonable and I am trying, I know I'm not a romantic guy but I'm really trying, any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. If I missed anything please feel free to point anything out I'm willing to do anything to get what we had back....

My fiancee is unhappy living with my mom, but she has no job and I'm being trained by my mom to take over a business. Also feel she doesn't appreciate things or anything I do isn't good enough for her.

TITLE: Can i stop lying about my nervousness? ,,22M
POST: I am a 22 yo man who always feel i have to hide my nervousness because I have dealt very badly with it and I have let myself hate people and things as in "the world is unfair and you all suck" when i was just letting myself go . I am realising that and cleaning up after my mess.
Now I have random hate, prejudices, nervous anticipations and fears that pop-up whenever they feel like it, i tainted my soul so many times that it hants me.
I deal with these issues:
I cant look people in the eyes sometimes because i fear they can see what i m thinking and i wouldnt want anybody to be scared of me by discovering all the hate i ve created in the past
I am very private when it comes to my nervousness so i hide that i think so hard, that i m super sensible to noises, that i overanalyse over nothing(i try dismissing it everytime)
Am i actually a better person(meaning that i do right things now) or just a bad person trying to be a good guy but who s really just an asshole? -> if that was clear to me that i was doing the right thing, i guess i wouldnt doubt myself so much.
How can i stop feeling like a liar? I m tired of always lying to people about who i am, it takes a lot of energy and i give off the impression that i am hiding something so i ve heard a few times
And at the same time, should I really let people know that i have a very black person inside of me that nervously and unfairly bash talk anc critisize everything and everyone, and that i spent a lot of times trying to control and reasonate?
Even though my thinking is not that terrible and i value respect and see lots of potential in people, i have judged and overreacted to things so many times in my young life that i cant help but feel hopeless sometimes.
It's also all very personal obviously i never shared that with close friends but i dont like putting my poker face on everytime i start being nervous.
All i know is that it feels great to go forward
So having your feedback could help me make sens out of this

I nervously judge things in a random manner but it doesnt feel like me. Am i nevrotic or just plain bad?

TITLE: I (M20) don't know of SO (F19) of 4 years is being fair.
POST: A few months ago, we had a pretty big argument. She was upset over it, and I asked her repeatedly if there was anything that I could do to help. She said that she was fine and during the week we had tons of fun so I genuinely believed she was fine. The next few days she messaged me telling me that she's horribly sad, and that she can't believe that I let her feel sad when we were together.
(Oh! Quick note, she lives in a college a few hours away, and comes to visit every other weekend along with her best friend.)
Now, this isn't the first time she gas done this, this happens weekly, where she does not communicate clearly how she's feeling and what she wants me to do, then she explodes on me.
I was furious that she would have the nerve to tell me that I didn't try to make her feel better when I had at one point begged for her to tell me how she was really feeling, so I ended things with her compulsively (over text, so a total dick move on my part). She then called me a few seconds later telling me she was sorry and that she was wrong. I told her that I made a super compulsive decision when I "ended things" and that I was sorry and didn't mean it at all. That I just acted without thinking.
Everything was fine and dandy, until recently.
This is the problem:
Now she's telling me that she is VERY sad because I broke up with her (even after I apologized to her for doing so, and practically begged her to believe that I didn't mean it) and she says that she is feeling insecure about the relationship because I had "ended things." She wants me to make it up to her by doing this grand gesture for her as a way of showing her that I really do love her (which I do) and to make her secure of this relationship. She wants me to make her feel better. And she's very upset that I have not done it yet.
Is that fair of her? I don't understand how it could be, but maybe I'm wrong. And what can I do to solve this issue?
TL;DR: . Assistant:

GF is sad that I broke up (not really) with her, and now wants me to make her feel secure about the relationship again by a grand gesture.

TITLE: TIFU by breaking an 8 year olds leg
POST: This happened a year ago or so. I was skiing with my brother and we thought it'd be fun to try the [fun park] We stand on top of the slope looking down and we both agree that the coast is clear. Aight, good to go! I get some decent speed and feel confident.
While I'm trying to balance myself midair I see a short humanoid standing with his back towards me and talking on his phone if I can remember correctly. I let out a shriek and try to seperate my legs so I don't pierce his back with my skis. I hit his back with my crotch and fucking demolish him. Because he stood upright with his boots and I bent him forward with good force he took quite the beating.
All I'm thinking is "holy fuck I killed a kid". I check on him, he's not saying anything. "I am so sorry, I had no idea you stood there. How are you?" Still not saying anything and looking at me like I'm the devil. Suddenly starts crying really hard wich makes my heart bleed. I call for help and paramedics arrive and says that his fibula & tibia (lower leg bones) are both broken. Eventually his dad comes along and I tell him I broke his sons leg. I don't explain to him how it was possibly his sons own fault but I just apologize and he tells me to keep going and not think about it too much. I still feel bad about it.

TITLE: I [19,F] keep wanting to hurt my best friend [19,M], whom I love.
POST: I've recently fallen in love with my best friend, but he doesn't reciprocate. We've been very close for years and I thought I would be one of the most important people to him, and I know I am, but there are others he has bigger feelings for than me and it makes me want to die. I know it sounds awful, and it IS awful, but I keep wanting to hurt him emotionally--try to prove to myself and him that I'm much more important to him, important enough to cause him as serious a wound as he did to me.
There's no need to tell me I'm being a bad friend, because I know that, and I've been keeping my distance from him for a while now because of it. The problem is, he wants me back in his life; he keeps saying he misses me, that he still cares about me no matter what. That hurts me in more ways than one: how could he still care about someone who wants to hurt him? I don't feel like I deserve that. And--although this is a part of me I hate--I can't help but ask myself, don't I matter enough to him to scar him? He's forgiven me too fast...too fast even for someone like him. I want to be back in each other's lives too, but I don't have the courage to tell him how much of a terrible person I am. I don't even know how to begin to deal with these feelings. I might need some kind of pep talk.

TITLE: I [25M] caught my (23F) GF (2 years together) texting with her ex about sex and confronted her about it
POST: During the last few days, I've noticed my GF texting a lot and saw (not exactly snooping, just glancing at the screen when texts arrived) that the number she's texting with was her ex's, who didn't want a long-time relationship with her and broke it off with her shortly before we met.
So last night when she brushed her teeth I snooped and opened her phone to discover she was texting with him for the past few days and that they were sexting ("I want you, you're so sexy, tell me you want me and what you'd do to me"). They also began making plans to meet.
I confronted her about it immediately when she came from the bathroom. She was first scared that I'd hurt her (didn't happen of course and never will), which is understandable considering she had an ex who hit her once. We sat down and I said that this is unacceptable. She said she was sorry, that she loves me, that she's a screw-up and that she did it because she feels alone and has no one other than me to talk to and wants to be "loved". I told her she can't continue to text or see this guy, and she said she understands but that it will be hard for her.
We're together for 2 years, we live together in a tiny apartment in a new city for a year with a dog. I love her to death and I believe she also loves me very much. Other than the dog, we have no friends whatsoever. I can understand feeling alone with no other social interactions, but this was definitely crossing a line and I told her that.
She said she wants to make this work but that her feelings about why did what she did remain unchanged. I write this post the morning after the fight, not knowing how to proceed really.
Should we try to make it work? Can I get over what I saw in those texts? Those are the questions I'm dealing with, and I'd love to read other people's opinions on how this sounds, because like I said, I don't really have any other confidants and friends in the real world.

TITLE: I'm [25 M] starting to fall for a coworker [24 F] though I have a girlfriend [24 F] of a few years
POST: So I'll try to keep this short. I've been dating my girlfriend for a few years now. It's been great so far, and there's not much I can complain about. The relationship itself is strong, there's good communication so fights aren't bad, and the sex life is good. However, it's become somewhat boring in the past year or so. There's still decent conversation but there have been long car rides with few words spoken. It hasn't been awkward but sometimes I wish things could just be a little bit more engaging.
Cue my coworker. We've been working together for around a year or so now. I've always thought she was kind of cute but that was about it until recently. I've gotten to get to know her in the past 6 months and we have a lot of things in common. We've hung out a bit with mutual friends/coworkers and we've gotten somewhat close. We've held hands but there's been no kissing or sex, and I don't plan on there being as long as I'm with my girlfriend. This girl is fun and exciting and someone I could see myself having a great time with.
So I'm very torn. On the one hand, I have a good relationship that could honestly end in marriage and it would be nice and complacent. On the other hand, I could take a risk and see what could happen with my coworker. I would hate to hurt my girlfriend but I also don't want to live wondering what if. Should I break up with my girlfriend or end things with my coworker?
TL;DR: . Assistant:

Relationship with current girlfriend is good but has become stale, falling for new coworker that I have a lot in common with, don't know if I should stay with girlfriend or date coworker instead.

TITLE: [M19] [F19] I'm starting to think the only way I can get her to stop smoking is if I start smoking.
POST: I know it sounds ridiculous at first, just hear me out.
We've been dating almost a year now. In every other way this girl is my perfect match. Everything about her from the way she smiles to the way she rubs my back at night makes her amazing. I don't have a problem with other people smoking, you guys smoke? That's fine, but I will NOT have the woman I marry, the woman I have children with, the woman I spend my life with be an addict to that crap.
So far, I've asked her three times to stop. Each time I try to bring it up with her she just shrugs it off like, "do you really want to have this argument right now?". It's become too much for me though. I don't even know anymore whether its the smelling/tasting like smoke and harmfulness of cigarettes, or if it just really pisses me off that she won't listen to my pleas, but either way I want it to stop.
I also have an extremely hard time understanding it. As I said, I don't have a problem with tobacco. I've smoked cigarettes, cigars, hookah, but its always been a once in a while kinda thing. I've never had the trouble of becoming addicted. Maybe it's just my personality but its just really hard for me to understand how someone could get addicted to that stuff.
I know this all seems childish, but at this point what are my other options? Maybe, if I start smoking, once she realizes how much it sucks to kiss/sleep with/just be around someone who constantly smells like smoke, she'll see how it makes me feel.
We've had plenty of problems before, but this is by far the only long-standing, unresolved issue in our relationship. I hope someone has some advice. Thanks for reading.

TITLE: My [19F] Fiancé [19M] and I just got engaged, his moms close friend had less than kind words to say about me.
POST: My fiancé and I just got engaged two days ago, we expected a bit of backlash considering our age (turning 20 this year). His moms close friend was talking to her at work this morning and she basically said that I am marrying "up", implying that he would have to financially take care of us and our future family, and that the financial burden would be on him. She also said that because of me and the fact that we're engaged he won't go to a different country (Canada to US) for his 4 month internship this upcoming January, despite the fact that we have discussed it already and I'm okay with it. Another thing she said was that he is "saving" me, didn't get an explanation for what she meant by that.
I expected her to have a problem with our age, because she is in her late thirties and hasn't had much luck with men. But I didn't expect her to say something about me that was so personal. His mom said that she has never mentioned anything about my family and money to her before (we aren't the most wealthy, and if you look at it from a money stand point I am technically marrying into a family with more money than my own, but that has nothing to do with us getting married or our relationship). This isn't even the first time she has said something out of line to his mom. (talking crap about his dad, sending photos to his dad of her in a bikini, etc)
After his mom told us this, i was very upset and we both decided that we don't want her there, which I think is now going to make her have even worse things to say about me and our relationship.
Have any of you had people say things like this, what did/would you do?
