Friendship Toxicity

Friendship Toxicity — I used to have a friend of 10 years who would constantly put me down but then pass it off as a joke (she did this to no one else). I could never understand why she’d say the most backhanded things to …

Ex-Wife texts daily about the kids

My ex does this too. She uses to do sometimes 20 texts a days. I asked her to stop and that lasted about a week. Then I only responded to important things that actually needed my attention. Or I’d jus…

BF stayed in contact with an old hookup. Should I be worried?

Hm, to me, I would take his stance on your male friends feeling and thinking a certain way toward you as projection of his own thoughts and feelings toward women. If he lacks either the imagination o…

Asking for STD tests?

I haven’t asked to see a test, but I absolutely ask if they have been tested recently and what the results are. I think it’s smart and totally reasonable. I also ask a man to wear a condom, and the fe…

Umm... Your thoughts on this?

Ridiculous! The truth is simple, if people aren't the kind of people to talk about their shifting experience, then they wouldn't have shared it to begin with. But, the people that made a big deal o…

Girlfriend (F24) wants threesome, I (M25) think it would be a terrible idea. How to proceed?
