Just a vent. I guess romantic relationships are not for me. It never works. When I am single I feel fine, never lonely and never bored. But then whenever I start having feelings for a man sooner or…
Never felt so seen in my life. But I beg to differ. You might be too guarded to feel these grand, overflowing feelings of limerence but you do care and you do love. Maybe you need to lower your expect…

I would do some sleuthing tell her, but don't expect her to he grateful. She's a newlywed and he's probably already poisoned the well just in case you snitch on him.
Honestly it could go either way, wife grateful or wife gets a vendetta against you and then god knows what’s going to happen.
I was in a similar situation and the advice i got was if youre gonna tell her, do it anonymously and i cannot stress this enough. In my culture (whole other story) she was very likely to stay anyway o…
Valentine's weekend was lovely, really stark contrast to my last one. The gifts were so personal and well thought out, and the card made me cry. He spent time and effort going to get them, it means a …
Absolutely! It's great to have a trained professional's assistance when navigating life's madness. But I'm also grateful that it reduces the burdens that friends have to carry when they get emotionall…
Seems like I was sent to a Ghost town 👻 And it looks like it's a Ghost week based on the comments from others here. So I haven't heard from him since Tuesday. On Tuesday he sent me a message sayin…
