So, my aunts a drinker. I talked to her just a couple hours ago about her drinker, and how I hope she doesnt drive after drinking. She said if she drinks than she stays home. That made me feel a lot better. I was talking about it to my mom, and I for some reason said that I can tell when she's been drinking because she slurs her words. My mom said "you gotta understand shes on some medications too" she broke her arm really bad several months ago, I think that's why shes on medications. Maybe not many, but maybe just one. The way my mon said "you gotta understand shes on medications too" made it sounds like she thinks her medication probably impaires her too. I know some medications say do not operate heavy machinery. Is that something I should worry about now? Should I find out how much, and what medications shes taking? I don't want to piss her off. Am I worrying too much?

hared by the the female.      She's 22 and her ex is 40 and they broke up in October for the 2nd or 3rd time since they started seeing each other in May of 2018 She posts "I'll see you when the road says it's time for us to cross paths again."       "until I'm ready let me be. I have to heal myself"   She also follows a couple of accounts about victims of narcissistic abuse. She has a private profile and only has about 30 followers and follows about the same amount of people but she actively posts on instagram daily. She unfollowed her ex (the 40 year old) but she still allows him to follow her, engage with her and like her posts etc. She's 22 and she knows how to use instagram, she knows how to remove someone from her followers list as she has done this to him in the past when they've broken up and she's aware that he's still following her because he likes her posts. So how can she claim she's in a no contact phase and say things like "I'll see you when the road says its time for us to cross paths again". He still has an open door into her life, engages with her online and she;s posting seductive photos of herself with her bra showing, red lipstick, heavy makeup all done up etc and he's liking them. Is she just someone who plays games?    They have no kids together, no shared living space, no shared financial obligations and no reason to be in contact. They live separately, she's nearly 20 years younger and she lives with her parents.

This happened a 3 years ago and I was 13 and my my was 34. We went to NYC and my mom had booked a hotel with a rooftop pool which was great as we went there when it was ~35 degrees. The water was cold but it was ok as the air was so warm. My mom had just gotten a new VS bikini on the first day that we were in NYC. We went to the pool in the afternoon everyday because it was great after being a tourist for a whole day. Well, there was this Jamaican lifeguard who clearly liked my mom and tried to hit on her once. He just stared at her subbathing for the first days but he did try to spark up a conversation on one day. He was around 25 at the time and I didn't understand what he said but I didn't understand why he was talking to my mom while she was sunbathing. My mom told me that he invited her to go to the movies and to go to his hotel room afterwards. My mom ofc declined because she had a boyfriend at the tine even tho he wasn't in NYC with us. The lifeguard was an asshat towards me at the pool after my mom had rejected him. He told me that I couldn't jump into the water because it's not allowed. There was a sign about it and I had done it previously and others did it all the time too. Well we still kept going to the pool but it was a bit awkward.

I have an ex-boyfriend that I broke up with 10 years ago. We share an 18 year-old-son. Every once in a while, my ex will call me to talk about something regarding our son. His dad wanted to talk to me about my son getting a job. It always becomes questions about me and what I'm doing in my personal life, including jobs and what my plans are, etc. It usually ends up in him putting me down and I have told him if we are going to discuss our son, we only need to stick to the subject. It is getting to the point where I cannot talk on the phone anymore. Is it best to discuss our son or just ignore?

I have been with my girlfriend for 4 years but I have been feeling that I'm more compatible and attracted with a friend that I have known for years. Nothing has happen between my friend and I and i don't know how she feels about me. When I hang out with her it feels right, comfortable and feel like i can really open up to her, different from my girlfriend. I don't want to give up on my relationship for something that might not even work but its not fair to my girlfriend that I'm not 100% for her. Things with my girlfriend are good but we are different in a lot of ways, we find things to do with each other but it feels like things have been getting stale recently. Not sure what i should do open to ideas...........

So I have been with my boyfriend for almost a year now. He's 31 and I'm 21 his parents are wealthy and I'm still in college. When we first started dating he didn't tells me how much his parents disliked me because I was young and African American. Four months into dating I found out I was pregnant. I'm now 7 months pregnant and his parents are now saying the kid doesn't belong to him, because he had low sperm count, and his mom is convinced I'm really 29 years old. My boyfriend recently had a stroke and his mom purposely gives his medication to him in weekly doses so she has a reason to come here and clean up and hid my things. His parents really want him to leave me. But they won't confront me and tell me these things they only tell it to him on the phone. She keeps spreading lies about me like I'm 300k in debt and other outrageous things.  My mom is telling me to move in with her and leave this toxic situation. My boyfriend wants us to work things out and forget about his parents. 

A colleague has made it very clear in the past (through gestures not words!) that he is attracted to me. All the while he has been in a committed relationship, and he recently got married. He is otherwise very liked by all in our group, is an excellent worker, and has always been very professional whenever he has needed to interact with me directly at work. As is the custom in our group, a card will be passed around congratulating him on his tying the knot.  BUT..should I sign knowing what I know??? It just feels weird to me...what should I do in this situtaion???
