Am I wrong for choosing to stay at my job?
Posted Saturday April 13 2024, 3:03 pm
Currently, I work as an overnight stocker and I’ve been doing it for 7 years straight. The pay is decent( 17 per hour). Currently
, I live at home with my parents and older sister. Life hasn’t been easy since I made dumb decisions when I was younger, thus I had been battling depression for a decade. In 2023, I decided to try to get out of my runt and confront my issues. Firstly, I dealt with my debt. I was dealing with student loan payments and other personal debt. In 2024, by the grace of God, I was able to file for bankruptcy. Secondly, I was job searching to find something better. I did get hired for an overnight stocking position for 19 dollars with a different company. Initially, I was excited but then I rejected the offer....

living with an abnormally fast metabolism
Posted Thursday April 4 2024, 8:39 am
I was born with an abnormally fast metabolism. My parents noticed it by the time I was 4 years old. I think they have high metabolisms too, especially my mom, but not like me. They were both college athletes and my dad played minor league baseball for a while.
I was always much hungrier than other people and I ate a lot more than normal. My mom would talk to our doctor about it. Despite many tests no problem was found. Around 7th grade my appetite got very large and my friends at school would even tease me about it.
In college I was living full time with other girls. I got very self conscious about my appetite and even started to think something might be wrong with me. I was training in swimming and I would eat 7000-8000 calo...

Just Saw My Best Friend's Reddit Confession – What Should I Do?
Posted Thursday March 28 2024, 4:13 pm
My (20M) best friend is a woman (22F). I was browsing Reddit and just came across a thread from her in the advice subreddit. Her thread was about how she's recently started developing romantic feelings for her best male friend... first just seeing the thread I was thinking "interesting, I'm in an identical situation with identical ages of M20 and F22, I'm just the man in the party", and then I saw her username, and yep, that's her.
To be honest, I feel the same way. I love that woman with all my heart, and I'd be open to exploring a romantic relationship with her- I just don't want to risk losing that special friendship. So I've grappled with these romantic feelings too; she's confessing online that she's developing...

Should I give up?
Posted Monday March 25 2024, 11:45 am
I’ve been with my boyfriend almost 3 years. He just turned 38 and I am 32. He knows I want a partner and a family. We had fun traveling quite a bit because we are both adventurous and he has not had a stable place (rent or own) for like 4 years now. Since before we were together he’s been a nomad.
I left my place 2 years ago because my work contract was ending and we’ve been “nomadic” ever since going to different places. I work remote too right now. But I want to settle down, I’m not asking him for marriage even just yet but I want to be in one place with him. He says we can’t get married until we’ve lived together, which makes some sense.
But he’s not willing to move in together because he ...

Tired of being put in the corner
Posted Thursday March 14 2024, 9:36 pm
I've been married what would have been 18 years but he pushed me to the side for his computer, his cell phone and his job. We have 3 amazing kids together but I didn't wanna be alone anymore.
Now I'm seeing someone I've been with over 4 years and we both had good jobs, but we were being treated unfairly and being overlooked for any type of promotions. Anyways, I feel like all I do is cook, clean, work my 40 hours and try to be with my kids as much as I can. But now he makes me feel like a piece of trash. Now he's claiming I'm making him feel like he's walking on egg shells, when I'm tired of being treated like I'm not good enough for any man. I'm close to just leaving him and hanging it all up. I don't know, any advice would help me so very much.

Boyfriend keeps pushing me to do things I don't want to do
Posted Sunday February 18 2024, 9:36 am
Me and my boyfriend have been together for about a year now. He knows I have diagnosed anxiety and I struggle to do things out of my comfort zone. Lately he's been hard pushing me to get over my fears, and while I know he's trying to help, he's doing it in a way that is starting to really upset me. I'm pretty uncomfortable around his parents and he likes to push me to interact with them more. I don't mind that, but he wants me to be alone with them. Today right before he left for work he told me to do and help his mom with her cookbook. I asked if she knew I was coming and he said no, to just knock on her houses front door and ask to help. When I said that makes me uncomfortable he just told me he'll be very disappointed in me if I didn't g...

Me = 23F
Husband = 26F
We have been married for 1 year, dating for 3 years. The whole time my husband and his family and my parents have been very open about wanting us to have kids. I have gone along with that and kept to myself fact I do not actually want to have kids.

I have used sex to distract him and keep him feeling like we are making the effort. I pretended to get myself checked when we were not conceiving and he had his doctor do a sperm count test and he is fine. I feel rotten I made him doubt himself. His older brothers are...

How to forgive yourself
Posted Sunday February 4 2024, 1:20 am
I am a 34 year old female and I have been in a loving relationship with my good hearted boyfriend of 7 years and we intend to marry too. However, last year I met a guy when I was having some problems with my boyfriend who lived in a different city. I met this new guy 3-4 times and ended up talking a lot. We had many similarities and I think we sort of had a good and caring friendship and we resonated. We also shared a lot of secrets about our lives. However, I started having some intense feelings for him which I also told my boyfriend. There was clearly and mental and physical attraction between me and this new guy. On the 4th day of our meeting, he suddenly kissed me. I kissed him back and this continued for almost 30 mins where we were ki...

Don’t Leave Me Like This
Posted Saturday February 3 2024, 4:14 pm
I attend LSU and tuition is due on Monday. But I only have 40 cents to my name. I don’t have money for the full fee nor to start a payment plan with $1.6k. It’s a lot that goes into my circumstances but I’ll do my best to shorten it.
I was praying for a full ride scholarship but god hasn’t answered my prayers yet. I decided on my top choice school who offered no scholarship at all, because that was the only school on my heart. Settling will never be in my language when it comes to my education. I went through k-12 unsatisfied with the education that I was being provided and that made me set a standard to not go into my career with a less than ideal education all because I had to settle. So I thought that maybe god wou...

My niece moved in with us.
Posted Sunday January 7 2024, 10:04 am
So my 22 year old niece moved in with my mom and i because she is going through a divorce and she brought her dog. I live her and the dog , but she and the dog is getting on my nerves. I am 34 years old and I live with my mom because I have an anxiety disorder, autism, and sensory processing disorder. My mom is disabled. My mom uses a walker if that helps any. My niece works with home health and she is supposed to be helping my mom do things she can't do that was the agreement when she moved in. Instead of paying rent and helping with groceries she would cook and clean and take me places with our car when my mom is unable to do so . The thing is we share a room and she keeps it a mess she was going through our food to see what was good a no...

Should I tell her how her kiss made me feel?
Posted Saturday December 23 2023, 4:52 pm
A couple days ago, I (20s/F) attended a Christmas party with my best friend (also 20s/F) and we ended up exchanging a kiss underneath some mistletoe. The two of us are straight, so we basically did this as a joke. Only problem is, I REALLY enjoyed that kiss! I never expected to enjoy a kiss with another woman so much and I've literally been questioning my sexuality ever since.
I've been thinking of asking my friend if she felt the same way, but I'm afraid it'll make things super weird between us if it turns out it was no big deal to her. I'm so confused right now. Should I risk our friendship by bringing this up or just keep my mouth shut? Don't know if anyone reading this has ever been in a similar situation, but I appreciate any advice anyone may have to offer nonetheless.

Trying to find a job!

I am a 34 year old female and receive disability but I called social security to see if I could work since I have been on disability since I was 12 and they said I could work for 90 days to see if I could work without it affecting my check and insurance. My problem is that since I've never worked at 34 years old I have no references. I have volunteered with my church. Could I use my pastor as a reference? I volunteered with the kids church. Could I use the children's pastor as a reference? I need 3 references. Who else could I use use as a reference? I have babysat for family members but I know family members are not allowed for references. I have also volunteered at a thrift store but that was about 10 years ago. Is that old and half the p...

Moving Forward- non-existent love life.
Posted Monday November 27 2023, 10:23 pm
So, I do not have the best of luck with men and I think it is because I need to do a lot of mental healing. With that being said, I have these unhealthy crushes on guys for years and nothing ever happens. I also have this really unhealthy cycle where if I like a guy they won't like me back or if a guy likes me I do not like them back. Honestly, I think it is a curse and I think I am destined not to have anyone in my 30's. Moving forward, I've had an unhealthy obsession with a guy that I have liked for years. I have terrible social anxiety and have never spoken to him much before...I have met this guy through a mutual interest and think he is the weirdest guy ever. During events, I used to catch eyes with him all the time and he would purpos...

How do I move forward?

Ok so before I start let me just say I am writing this as I think about it so it may be a little all over. So in March I got this message on a language app from this guy. But really I was receiving a lot of messages so I would reply really late etc. But his messages stood out because he was actually trying to teach me about his culture and about the language I am learning. So one day I said that we should make a call since then we can actually have a conversation. We did eventually talk on the phone and eventually by a video call. It was not boring and soon enough we talked everyday for months. Literally every day. Obviously then I started to have a crush on him and I told him. He admitted that he does have a crush on me since ...

Our school went on a trip. My friend's names are A, C, G, and I. We 5 stayed with another group of 5 members who are very close to C and I. So, that another group gave mine, A and G's name to mam when she asked there are three cabinets empty in her room. They gave our name to shift and gave silly reasons like we made the room wet when all made it wet after trekking. The main reason was mingling problem that we 3 weren't mingling with them so yeah we went out of the room. But C and I ignored me and A so much. They acted like we are strangers literally. And now, C is saying sorry and saying that she did put efforts into talking with me when she didn't at all and saying that I didn't do the minimum effort to talk. All hypocrisy. I don't know w...

Should I Tell Agent
Posted Friday November 17 2023, 1:45 pm
Hello. I was looking to buy a house with my family so we contacted a real estate agent "Reba". She was friendly and I had a lot in common with her so we kind of became friends. However, I felt like we weren't getting anywhere because she was very laid back. I did most of the house searches myself. We even took a break from looking for a few months, and she was very patient and kept in touch. The last straw was when we had some problems with the broker she worked with. Frustrated, I told her I wanted to take a break again and that I would contact her when I was ready to start looking. She said ok. We were new to the area, so out of curiosity I contacted a different real estate agent to see what else was out there. He was very helpf...

How can I cope with my mother's words?
Posted Tuesday November 14 2023, 10:18 am
Long story short, that tiktok that says "your mother loves you but she doesn't like you" describes it well. She does so much for me, she loves me but her words are so venomous if I do something wrong. I am a young adult, I don't drink, smoke or do any of that. I mind my own business and don't get in trouble. I focus on my studies. But throughout my life, she has said things that have struck me and haunted me, comments about my looks, and intellect. She knows I will never be like her, she was practically THE girl and I'm just a girl. I want her to accept me and like me. I want her to listen to me and not just understand whatever based on the image she has of me. She lies and says she doesn't care if I end up being a disappointment ...

Husband is upset about an issue that does not bother me
Posted Monday November 13 2023, 9:48 am
My husband is very upset about our neighbor directly behind us. This neighbor’s yard is a complete mess – piles of sticks, logs, multiple compost piles, and lots of very overgrown plants. I agree that this is totally out of line (as do our friends/relatives that have come over and seen it), but I am also able to make my peace with it and concentrate on other issues in my life that I have more control over. This is a huge issue for my husband. He can’t stand it so much that he occasionally considers selling our house and moving. He has called the village to complain and has been working with them, but that has had very little impact on the yard so far. My husband then gets angry with me because it doesn’t bother me. I know he feels ...
