My story, just have a need to vent somewhere — 25 years old desperately trying to finish his uni to maybe finally have some independence, crying in the bathroom stall at the internship again. I guess I'll just put my story here to cope. Througho…

My (25f) neighbor (29f) believes she is miraculously pregnant — Her age might be incorrect, but it’s around that. Tragically, her fiancé was killed in a car accident about 9 weeks ago. She wasn’t in the accident but she was very newly pregnant at the time, so new …

Is there a right way to reach out to my (24M) ex (28F) after 4 years? — For a little context, I struggle to read social queues. It’s certainly a problem I’m aware of and working on, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my problems. And part of the problem is that I genuinel…

I have never been able to leave my room or the house im in before freaking ou…

It literally is, look at that essay you wrote. You’re overcomplicating things and applying 3D thinking to something that really has little to do with the 3D. The 3D is merely the result of all of this…

Hi there! Not sure you’d be open to it, but how did you reach out to old friends / make new friends? I struggle with this one the most because I put up walls so I don’t get hurt.

I’m sure there is a trauma bond and maybe some codependency going on. Sadly there is not much anyone can do to get her to do the right thing for herself. I would say to be there for her as much as you…

Yeah I totally hear you on that and how it can all feel disconnected from what we are experiencing here. This also may sound like nonsense to you, I know it did to me until I started practicing it. B…

Tbh most women I know wouldn't be knowledgeable about women's historic inventions. It's not general knowledge and that is a shame. It would have taken OP all of 10 seconds to say "actually women inven…

I'm 34 and want kids and quite stressed about it. Almost got to the point of trying with my last partner and then we split up. I personally would never have kids on my own so that hadn't really been i…

5 years is a long time and things change. You can say exactly how you feel, that you'd be very happy to stay friends but you'd also like to explore something more if they're open to it, that you know …

That makes sense. I'm the kind of person who's like "I would choose children over everything -- career, partner, everything" so while I can imagine why someone wouldn't want that, it's hard to imagine…

I personally don't want to have kids. He's unsure but fine not having kids if "\[his\] partner doesn't want that". I actually mentioned marriage recently and he said he'll have to "research the timeli…

I’d look up a place with good reviews. When you suggest it be honest and just say you haven’t been there before, but the reviews look good. Make it clear if your date has a suggestion that you’d be op…

I'm a bit younger than you but accepting that 'no hope for me' is just as much a reality as hope. I very quickly became at peace with the idea of being alone forever. Not in a giving up way i'm still …

Had a really great 4th date the other weekend - with a first visit to one of our houses, he brought flowers, no stutter in the in-person chemistry (for me, and it seems like for him, it just keeps get…

She did when she said distance was a problem. If that problem is not longer there, he should be able to reach out and see if she's open to rekindling things. Worst case, the sitch remains the…

I mean, I love some movies and getting drinks or dinner after to discuss it could be fun. So I’m open to it, but this movie just seemed bad and I had zero interest haha

I was always that person who said I’d never date someone who is separated/not officially divorced or even someone who is less than 6 months out of the divorce being finalized. Welp… I somehow ended …

For me, it *realllly* depends on the circumstances. My ex was still legally married when we met. I told him I wouldn't call him my BF until he at least filed and it was public knowledge among his frie…

It sounds like your healing journey is going fantastically, and also you kinda sound like me, loving having a social life but also being able to come back to the quiet home with the dog and crochet pr…

1. Probably those guys are looking for sex partners primarily. They may not be looking for a real relationship at all, or they may be open to it. They probably try this approach with lots of potent…

I must say I do get free stuff, but that’s actually more a personality thing and being open to it I think

I would find a time to give her a call and tell her through the phone. Be genuine, tell her you see you guys as friends more than anything and would be down to continue hanging out as friends if they'…

You cannot believe anything she says as she cannot be trusted in this. You have no idea why she confessed and a workplace affair doesn’t stay secret for long. Don’t couch this as emotional. It was an…

I understand what you're saying because I was in a somewhat similar situation before. I was in a relationship with a woman who was older than me (I was 24, she was 34). In some ways, she also had nee…

I’ve thought about microdosing psychedelics. If you’re open to it I’d love to hear more about your experience, how it’s benefitted you and/or changed things for you. There’s a program where I live tha…

Have you asked them? Sometimes people dont think or dont want to get involved in that. Worth asking them if you are open to it

The 2 comments here that say im delusional for thinking he can change. And that im desperate for reaching out. On the first point. No im not delusion for thinking someone is capable of change. Some…

That makes sense. I had a lot to work on which the relationship highlighted. In the 10 months apart I've worked on a lot of things. I am doing it for me bevause I want to be able to show up better, in…

This is him trying to break up with you. It's not like a situation where you aren't religious at all and he becomes born again you are open to it as you said. There is no way that I would be with a gi…

Hey, I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. I respect why you ended things, and even though we’ve gone our separate ways, I really care for you (her name) and I’d really like to talk about whether…

it's a hard one. I feel like I've recovered enough to be open to it, and I miss the companionship, but honestly I'd rather preserve my peace than risk inviting another monster into my home. I know the…

That's the thing. He's open to it but what if you meet a girl and 5 months into dating her she says... "I had a cuddle buddy the first few times we were on a date because I was physically starved of h…

I remember seeing this on another post a while back and maybe it could be useful. The person had a necklace that meant she was in the mood and another for not. You could do this. Bit different by havi…

Been divorced 3 years now. Had a few relationships. I've learned a lot in the process and I'm liking my direction. When I first got divorced I said never again. My hardened heart has softened and now …

Girl I feel you. I ended a FWB for the same reason. Lack of communication before or after. Not even looking for a partner of any sort in him but at least let’s talk about what worked and what didn’t. …

Totally agree about a second opinion, and lots of good possible reasons people have suggested. Just adding a weird one due to my experience on a particular med for blood pressure. It would trigger a…

First, take a breath. Sending a message like that takes courage. Your message is honest and vulnerable, which is good. You took responsibility, you didn’t blame her, and you explained what was going …

The self-awareness here is huge. You recognize the pattern and that it's not okay — that's step one. Might sound random but I read (well, listened to the quick summary on Headway) 'Attached' by Amir …

Just be open to it coming to you in anyway

Yes, the entity I dealt with in 2018 explained precisely what to do. I mentioned this important matter to a user here, but they don't seem to understand the urgency of doing this. So I'm tired of tryi…

My Inbox is open my friend, it goes way deeper if you’re open to it.

Try providing feedback - if they are open to it, great. If not, then absolutely move on if you don’t feel like you can truly open up to them.

Yes absolutely. I’m not structuring my life around this but I’m fully open to it and a big part of me hopes for this outcome. But I know I’ll be ok either way. I’m in my early thirties so I can’t wait…

Im sorry you feel this way. Your husband sound like a wonderful person. Keep trying with the therapists, sometimes it takes a while b4 you find the right one, hell im still on that journey after 4 yea…

If I'm not really feeling it by the end of the first date and especially if I can't fully gauge if they are, I'll tell them "Reach out if you wanna get together again!" To me that relays "I'm open to …

She indicated that she wanted to be a relationship with someone who wanted to commit to a move-in, meet the kids and figure out what a joint life would be like, and while I was open to it, I don’t wan…

If your heart is open to it, you will. You remind me a lot of my husband in ways. I promise I’m not a demanding spouse. Scouts honor; I’m not. But he naturally likes to keep busy. Always in the g…

Hey buddy, this might seem odd but read the whole thing, 1. What joy! Not only to find some one you cared about so deeply but also for them to reach out. It’s rare to find people yay you can connect w…

Sorry to hear. As a divorced single dad - I am avoiding the apps - as well - they sounds like a minefield in the swamp - based on all the commentary here and other places. I have found slower (maybe…

It's not exactly that I wouldn't be open to it in a different way: For example, let's call him Bob. If Bob works 20 hours a week, and has two kids in college, maybe I could split his free time with hi…

I feel differently now than I did when I first got divorced. I might be open to it now because like a previous commenter said- I don’t want to cohabitate again. But the issue then for me becomes how d…
