My girlfriend [20F] has scrubbed all photos of me [21M] from her social media and her room. How do I handle her explanation?

LOL, it's kind of an inside joke now. If you read enough stories on Reddit, on relationship advice subreddit or infidelity for example, when a woman/girlfriend says she wants to "explore herself" "f…

What do I do, also sorry if I suck at explaining everything

What do I do, also sorry if I suck at explaining everything — We broke up in march last year. Before we officially broke up we had “broke up” before in January. I tried everything to make us work. I searched up things on what to say to help an avoidant. What we…

How do I (18M) make my girlfriend (20F) see herself as beautiful as I see her? — Sorry if the title is oddly worded, wasn't sure how to phrase it and that was my best attempt at making it sound coherent. Anyways, me and my girlfriend have been together just shy of 1 year as I writ…

I just need to rant, Y'all. I'm so angry!!!!

Actually if he needs it in thy next 5 years, medicaid is gonna claw all of it back. Gold digger GF is gonna find herself on the streets and on the hook for all that money.

Being the good spouse doesn’t guarantee a good marriage

It’s nice to read this post to see so many others are experiencing such similar path - even reading about both sides to see both perspectives. I’m currently experience this. I admit I had my faults …

How do I F21 fix my relationship with my F21 twin sister after her M22 fiancée SA’d me?

It wouldn't surprise me if he's saying you two engaged in consensual sexual activity where you "encouraged"/seduced him. Only you know if your sister is the kind of person who would knows he assault…

Welp… that’s it. It’s officially over.

Counterpoint: She is at an age, where she is thinking of marriage and children. If one becomes unsure or feels unsafe with their partner, it becomes easy to let go no matter how long you were together…

[Partner] Wife’s suppressed severe trauma surfaced. She’s in extreme ‘flight’ mode, refusing therapy, and I am burning out. Need honest outlooks.

You can't save your marriage if she doesn't want to be a part of it anymore. As a "fixer", that's not what you want to hear, but you have to be willing to give her space, let her make choices for hers…

I (20M) haven't slept in my own bed in almost 2 months because of my (19F) girlfriend

Sad part is these the type of shawties that will end up getting OP hooked then cheating or just leaving to “find herself” one day😂

Update: my husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing

I think there’s got to be a discussion — why not? any underlying reasons? it seems clear that she doesn’t find herself desirable, so she wouldn’t want to put on the “clothes of a desirable person.” I …

How do I (35F) handle my soon-to-be-ex-husband (38M) asking me to change my name back?

Yep! Time to lawyer up. He will keep coming at her with one ridiculous demand after another without even filing for divorce. She should hurry up and find herself an attorney and then start the form…

My (M27) Best friend since High School (F26) told me she cheated after we got engaged

Why am I jealous of those couples that can keep getting back together and breaking up.

People who kept leaving relationships and coming back are just toxic. My first wife was like this. She left me three times the last was after our daughter was born. There was never a reasonable explan…

5 year relationship just ended.

Is this rage bait? We don’t know how it ended, we don’t know any of the circumstances and you are making massive assumptions. Waiting around and focusing on him is absolutely not the way. She needs to…

I need to make a decision

While my advice would be to ditch her permanently, if you do choose to “stay” with her, I’d tell her she has 2 weeks to move to your city and find herself an apartment. Definitely not living with you.…

parents chopped my little sisters hair off

This is not your fault. You are barely even an adult yourself, and have been parentified since you were a small child. Your sister is understandably upset, and is lashing out at the only target she …

My (36F) partner (37M) recently got a medical diagnosis and now wants an open relationship. Is it selfish of me to not want to? Or selfish of him to ask for one?

It's interesting to read these comments. I've noticed that when a man suggests an open relationship he's a bad person, but when a woman does it, she's just wanting to explore and find herself 😅

Don’t know what to do

Hard no dude. You man up and hide all your feelings. You pretend this means nothing to you and you never ever go back to her again. Let her go find herself. And wish her well. And now go focus on your…
