We've been together for 9 months. I find it easier to tell him I love him through text, but I get shy to tell him in person and on video chat. It's the same thing with my family and friends I'm scared to show my feelings. And it really frustrates him.

I'm a high school student and 5'7 and yes my body is changing . but I'm a good weight for my age and height . but I'm starting to notice that I'm getting a little bigger in areas ( my sides ) and my mom said thata okay and I'm not fat . an . she knows that I'm really sensitive when it comes to weight stuff . but even though she still makes fun of me making me feel that I'm actually fat . and when I start to do something about it she starts to question me . and the stuff she says is really hurtful and I've even talked to her about it but she doesn't even care . what do I do about it ?

Everything was going good for me. I had my own place, two vehicles, a steady job that paid the bills but didn't leave me with much extra. I was on a road trip to visit an old friend who doesn't have a car, since we hadn't seen each other in ages. It went well, but on my way home I was involved in a bit of a car accident. Nobody was hurt, thankfully, but this left me on foot several hundred miles from home in an area with absolutely no public transportation. I had gas money, I called all of my friends and family, even my boss and co-workers, but nobody would come get me. My phone died much later that evening, and with no charger, it was dead for good. I ended up walking and hitchhiking. It was several days before I made it to town, and by this time I was disgusting, and I had lost my job due to being absent, even though I had called. My rent was late, and I couldn't afford the outrageous late fees so I was evicted from my home. None of my friends or family would let me stay with them, but I still had one vehicle left at this point, so I loaded up everything important into it and proceeded to live in it. While working odd jobs and trying to find actual employment, much of my stuff was stolen. At this point I have my truck, a few changes of clothes, and a little food. The town I'm in has no jobs except for the company I worked for, so I want to leave. How do I start over? How can I make it all fall back in to place somewhere new?

So basically, I live in a very small house. On the outside, it's somewhat dirty, but we're going to clean it soon. On the inside it is very small, and mostly the only place to go is the Tv room. Our backyard is huge, and by all means I hate having people over because of the way my house looks. I always tell my friend's I'm busy when they ask to come over because of my house. I have some really close friends that do come over, but does anyone have any tips for feeling comfortable before and when the person is here?

This is a real issue for me i am black myself and they don't care what i do to stop them and latino guys get on my nerves to online i am not allowed to date a white guy or a japanese guy how do i get racist Idiots to respect that i just want to be friends with them

So the other day when it was the last day of school my friend was messing with his water bottle & he wanted to wet me but I didn't let him so the both of us were fighting with it & we spill it on the table & we got in trouble by the teacher then the girl I liked asked what happened & then asked if I was okay

So I'm a gay guy. and I got a cute boyfriend. i gave him a card and flower, asking him to date me. He smiled and said sure, that sounds great. So we started holding hands, taking pictures, we'd fed each other fruits and I'd let him bite my fingers. He blushed and laughed. He said woah, we're like the coolest friends ever! I'd take him on dates and he'd buy me anything I wanted. He was the sweetest thing ever. But when I tried to have sex with him and poked his butt he slapped me, punched me in the face and pinned me to the wall. And started choking me. He said. Touch me like that and I'll kill you, understand?! Then he turned around and saw a knife on the table. He looked back at me and said. I'll use it! I think I wet myself a little as a ran out the apartment. What happened? What should I do?

During that time, she ended up finding out that she probably has pancreatic cancer and needed surgery. Her friend, Victoria, who had not been around much the whole year, started coming around more. She came and told me that Cindy needed surgery and would have a long recovery, and I needed to get out of her house. She said that she and Cindy s cousin would be there to help her. I moved out last week, and Cindy had her surgery last Tuesday, June 14th. I saw her the morning of her surgery and hugged her and told her I loved her. Victoria was mad that ladies from the church were there to pray with her. Victoria took her to the hospital that s about 40 minutes away. I kept writing to her the day of the surgery and it took 8 hours for her to finally say that she d made it to recovery. Over the next couple of days, I asked how she was doing, and Victoria just told me she was in ICU and drugged up and couldn t have visitors. She has been driving her car, using her credit card, and also took her phone so no one could "bother her". Now it s been a week and 3 days, and she was supposed to be home in 5-8 days. No one has seen or talked to Cindy at all since before the surgery, including her son. Victoria just sends text messages from Cindy s phone, pretending to be Cindy, saying that she s fine and don t come visit. When we call the hospital, they say that she is not in their system, but Victoria says that she s still in ICU. Victoria is also the power of attorney.

My friend is always bragging about how much good she does and how much she helps people because she works at a non profit and how it makes her a good person who is concerned about others. She got her job from her aunt who is the director there (she didnt even have to interview and had no experience) and she is paid 60,000 to write grants form home and doesn't even have to go into the office whereas the other grant writers who work there make less than 28,000 a year and have to go into the office everyday 9 to 5 and are not related to the director like she is. She also is moochy and sometimes doesnt pay when we go out and I work two jobs and make less than she does and she does not correct her kids if they are rude or disrespectful to me either. If she was such a good person who wanted to help others why would she do this?

My mom won t let me have a real teenage life , I don t go to big parties or do anything bad (smoking, drinking) and she knows I don t and trust me , but she won t even let me go to the mall with a couple of girlfriends , when I go it has to be with her , or with a friends parent , I think its ridiculous I m almost 18 , most of my friends have cars and they offer to hang out and my mom doesn t even let me , k don t even bother asking because I know she will say no , I have a boyfriend ( and she knows that) but she won t let me see him , he can t even come over , I only talk on the phone with him and it makes me mad I feel like we will grow apart , and my best friend lives in his neighborhood and my mom used to let me go to her house UNTIL she found out my boyfriend lives in her neighborhood , now I m not aloud to even see my best friend unless she s over at my house , my mom always has to see me I always have to be in her sight ! She won t let !e grow up , she won t let me drive she thinks I m not ready , and at work she drives me , my friend works at the same place and offers rides but my mom never let s me go with her , its just not fair , I do have to admit when I was 16 I did have sex with my ex, and I toldnher, she didn t find out I was straight up with her about it , she got mad and now she changed so much rules but I think its too much because we learn from our mistakes and let s be honest I m a teenager and yes sex sometimes comes up, I just don t know what to do

I was commissioned to do a drawing of a child that was sick. Also, the drawing was to be etched on the tombstone of the child. The whole creative process was viewed by the client step by step and the final drawing was approved and paid by the client. It is in a small town. Everyone knows everyone. The child passes a year later. I attend the funeral. Upon arriving at the funeral I see another artists rendering above the casket and on the pamphlets being handed out instead of my drawing. On the card to the family I had written I was honored to have drawn the child...and that still stands by the way. I felt very awkward being there though.. Fortunately, I was in the back pew and I quietly slipped out early. I did not want to cause the mother any awkwardness by her seeing me there and having to explain her use of another artist, because she had enough burdens as it was having just lost her child. Plus for the paying of my artwork that she later decided she may not have liked, obviously. In art school we are critiqued heavily to handle art rejections later in life, although the emotional factor still plays in as one tries to remain logical. Because as artists we can get emotionally attached to our work with all the time vested in the project. Personally, of course, I was hurt, embarrassed and felt humiliated although I would never express that to the client. There is that word of mouth in a small town that my artwork was not good that could reflect badly on me. Of course, now with the sympathy card having been given, that will have to addressed by them, since I gave memorial money and wrote on it. I surely did not want to cause them any more pain. So far, I have lost a couple pounds with all the worry. I have lost my appetite from the stress of it all. I never thought I would be in a social situation such as this. I only wish they had told me they had told me they weren't happy with my artwork. I would most certainly would have redone it for them.

OK, so our church is holding an open air songs of praise on Sunday, we are all regular churchgoers, me, my Partner, son (age 16), daughter (age 12) and daughter (age 10). Both me and my partner smoke and will probably do so during the service. My son is also a smoker. He has asked if he can smoke with us if we smoke at the service although he has teased the girls that he is going to blow smoke over them when they are singing, but they have said they will just carry on singing anyway

I'm a young teenage Christian girl who has been watching porn and masturbating for about a year now. There has been some time when I go to a church program or something and get closer to God that I stop for a couple of weeks or months but then it starts again and recently it has. Idk what to do. I've tried everything. I even have one of those child protection apps on my phone but temptation makes me ignore it. Heck, I've even been caught by my parents and got in buckets of trouble which made me stop then started again. I feel sick and disgusting. Anyone who's gonna say masterbating is natural and nornal, pls don't bother. I'm a christian and know it's not ok. Anyone whos gonna tell me to talk to someone, pls don't bother. I'll just get in more trouble and it will cause more issues. I feel embarrassed and need to stop in case I die and go to hell. It also takes up a lot of my time. I don't really do it that often but as I said it's coming back and is getting more frequent. I need to stop before its too late. 10 points for best answer. Thanks

I've been with my girlfriend of 7 1/2 almost 8 months now but Monday we had a big argument and we are on a no contact period for 2 weeks now. I kind of messed up but just venting to the wrong person in the process (her) about my feelings and regrets so we are supposed to start talking on the 10th of July, Should I wait until the 11th to make up a day? I want to wait until the 30th of next month so we can build up again and what would be our 9 months I want to sweep her off her feet again to reestablish our relationship so I've thought to take her to the place where we first made things official between us and propose(not an engagement proposal but for her to be with me again. Does it sound good?

If youre physically attrwacted but dont like what he is offering,.. you had sex once and after that he says he is busy with his daughter and work. He acts rude and probably insecure. He says he does not want a relationship but still trys to chat, and acts egotistical... for example, lots of "lol" and not taking me seriously, offensive chat (not sexual, just verbally) He keeps referring to his daughter and even seems to use her as a sort of crutch at least in convo. When we started chatting a year and a half ago the conversation was about sex and snuggling and stuff after we talked about my home purchase and he had just gotten out of the hospital for a medical emergency. I met him about 12 years ago at a party. I have thought about him since then. Obviously my feelings and needs are not a priority to him at least today though. The conversation ends witg disagreement about his priorities and i am sick of hearing about those and getting messages for no love. I realise this is a type of person who might be a "user" and has already emotionally trampled me. I dont want to argue or deal with his drama. I spend all my time alone or with my pets... im disrespecting myself by answering to the disappointing messages. If I just ignore i dont know what would happen. I try to face problems because they have already continued to present themselves. I TRY to get my way, and I try to respect myself. Help... i Seriously hate this. Ive lost a lot for stuff like this..

Was sitting in my boyfriends recliner, rocking back and forth when I started hearing wood splintering. Stopped rocking for a sec and it stopped. Didn't think much of it. Got up to for a min came back and plopped down and CRACK! My butt went right through the seat! Broke a wooden slat and some springs!! Has anyone ever had this happen? Can it be fixed?

It's a long story but cheating is involved as to why break-up is likely. And well his parents who aren't married and hate each other, are always arguing. Neither work a job and his dad doesn't even hardly help around the house. His room is disgusting. The walls will be coated with dust and the ceiling fan black because he doesnt clean. His ex-wife washes his clothes for him but bitches about it. My partner makes good money but somehow bills are behind. Looking at bills and his pay stub, it doesn't add up. But I know his parents have access to his account & I know both do drugs/pills although one is weed which isn't too bad but it is when you are placing buying weed over food. I don't work as I go to school and I have a hard enough time trusting my child with his parents. I do earn some money online & actually receive enough aid for school that I can save some for emergencies. With the job he does, he's away for 3 weeks. Only home for a week. Just curious regarding visitation if his parents can try to gain any rights during those 3 weeks? Both have felonies, I know his mom is related to drugs, but his dad, they are secretive, he doesn't even have an ID, says he can't get one. I'd like to add neither was there for their kids. They didn't raise them and one actually was with a family member. Some stories I've heard are horrible. Tried to make it short. Much more to it.

So he was around 12 and I was around 6, I fell asleep during a movie and my mol put me into his bed and in the middle of the night his hands were in my pants and he said 'does this feel good?' I didnt know what sex was or what he was doing, I didnt know it was wrong so I thought it would be okay if I did it back to him. I've been blaming this on myself forever, and im scared im getting mental issues now, right now im 13 years old and I just don't know what to do im so shy and I just couldnt bare to tell my mom because she would think im lying. But ever since then I've hated my brother and everyone always says why am I so mean to him? and all these things but I just cant bare to stand by him and just ugh ):

I do understand that they are all there to work out. However, I seem to notice jealousy might be an issue. I spoke to an acquaintance- lo and behold- his wife came running. It's not like she's ugly. She's actually gorgeous. Another woman just looked at me when I asked which mschine they would use. She pointed at her boyfriend and he responded for me. There's this woman today who just looked so constipated as she borrowed the gym equipment I was using. Come on now. I was not there to steal anybody's husband or boyfriend. What I have at home is way hotter and I'm wearing a wedding ring. What's the deal yo? Am I that hot?

My mom met a man, and they started dating. I was ok with it, because my mom was in a better mood, my great aunt and mom had been arguing about money and my aunt has some problems and all, so anyways it was justified, but her boyfriend started to seem suspicious.I always try to be respectful because of my mom but it's becoming more diffucult. So, every weekend-ish I'll have to go spend the weekend at his place, and I'm old enough to take care of myself to stay at home, but mom is paranoid. Each time though I try reasoning, she tells her boyfriend and he butts in and talks to me as if I'm trying to cause problems. I'm not perfect, and I've been rude at his house that I've gotten reprimanding from, and he has some problems of his own that I keep in mind, but I've just grown tired of having to sleep at his place. I'm not an emo teenager or anything, but when I'm there, he forces me to go to boring places. If I am quiet at all, he'll just assume that I'm in a bad mood, & he goes out of his way to make sure my mom thinks otherwise, and I feel this affects my relationship with her(she sides with him mostly)I'm not the only person who feels this way, because friends and family agree that she should find someone else. Ill never be happy with who she dates but he just seems like he doesn't want me around or have anything to do with me. Am I the wrong one for not liking her boyfriend or having to spend days and nights there in truthful boredom? Am I selfish?

So my mum saw I had a hicky and freaked. I was at the mall with three friends, one girl and two guys and I came back with a hicky and she saw it and says I can't see any of my friends for the rest of summer (8 weeks) because of it. It's really unfair because I told her the two guys would be there. We weren't even dating so I couldn't have told her anything, he only asked my out that day, because we hed been talking for weeks and liked each other. So what do I do about my mum? I didn't even do anything wrong. And I've had a boyfriend before and she met him and knew he was boyfriend and she didn't care. Should I just hang out with friends anyway? I mean being grounded for eight weeks because of a hicky is so unfair. I'm 16 btw, please tell me how I can get her to let me hang out with my friends. Or should I just disobey and go anyway

I've been with my girlfriend (Sarah) for 2 years (3 years in November). She moved in with me 18 months ago and we bought our first home together 6 months ago. Things between us are great, we are talking about marriage, and I plan to propose in the next few months. I get along with her family, friends, and she mine. Well until last night. Sarah met my parents within two months of dating, and my sister about a year into the relationship. Until last night, she had never met my brother. He lived 12 hours away in a different city. He is going through a divorce and moved back home with my parents a week ago. Last night my brother came over to my house. For as long as I could remember, my brother and I had a great relationship or I thought. Anyway, last night we played video games and drank. He crashed at my house. Around 11pm I went to bed, while my girlfriend finished sewing she was doing. The supper was going pretty well. A little awkward and I was still feeling some resentment towards him. Then I went to the bathroom to clear my mind, because I was feeling a little bitter and didn't want it to escalate. On my way back, my dad asked my brother what he thought of Sarah. He told him that she thought Sarah was a ***** and that he didn't like her. As I entered the kitchen again. He told him that she thought Sarah was a and that he didn't like her. As I entered the kitchen again. I said. "IS the real reason you don't like Sarah is because she is a or because you asked her to have sex with you, and not tell me and she turned you down." The whole room went silent. They all went silent for a few moments. My mom asked my brother if it was true. He denied it, but as he said it, he smirked a little. I told him he was lying. I was getting mad. He stood up and said, "I was just making sure she wasn't a ." My mom tried to get us to sit down but we started shouting at one another. I said a few things about his wife not wanting him anymore. Then he said, "Just like Laura and Sharon didn't really want you." Laura and Sharon were two of my previous long-term relationships. I was with Laura for ten months when I caught her cheating on me with a neighbor. Sharon and I were together for just over a year. Around our one-year anniversary, she got distant and then after a few months we mutually ended it. Anyway, my mom asked him what he meant by that. He looked me straight in the eye and said that Laura was good in bed. That he and she had a three-month affair before she dumped me. In addition, with Sharon left me for him, and they secretly dated for six months. He laughed. I grabbed my coat to leave because if I didn't I was going to do something I would regret. Only he followed me to the door and kept saying how "Not my fault they like me better then you. In addition, Sarah is a nobody, exactly what you deserve (or something like that) I lost it and punched him squarely in the face. OF course when I got back to my house, Sarah noticed I was upset so I had to explain to her what happened. She was there to make me feel a bit letter. My parents have been calling my phone and I've been ignoring them. Sarah did say she doesn't want to go over there anymore while he is living there. I don't blame her, but I can see this causing problems with my parents. It's a mess. I'm numbed, pissed off. I thought my brother had my back. There isn't any trust issues between me and Sarah. We are best friends and are very compatiable.

So I was staring into space & i was staring at the trash can & i see the girl i liked looking at me later I was staring at the wall & when i look over again i saw her looking at me & smiling while she have her hands on their chin

Hey I'm going to be homeless or maybe not, I don't know, but my mom talked to me today and said I need to find a job, I guess. She said until July I guess she's giving me a month. I was discharged from the military and I guess just haven't been taking life serious. But I do still care, I feel like I should cry, but I can't I don't want to feel vulnerable or any worse I guess. I also feel like I should apologize, but for what, I already made the decisions I made so I can't go back. My mom told me she couldn't even talk to me because she was so disgusted at me, like I don't know how I can fix it now you know I already made mistakes. I'm 22 years old, I also got a bad skin condition on my penis it hurts me. I guess I feel bad because I caused this stuff to happen. I just have no interest in life sometimes, I just don't care, but I still care because I guess I want to live, but at the same time I feel hurt and just angry and confused. What should i do i can't fix this it's done. My mom is probably going to kick me out, but even if she doesn't how can i just forget about my passed and move on. I was also diagnosed with social anxiety. .

We are both 14 and she is really hot

I have a few questions about relocating. I want to relocate to Nashville, Tennessee and I currently live in Tipton, Tennessee. I want to move to Nashville for grad school. I don't have a job and I don't know anyone in Nashville. I don't know how to relocate at all. I'm trying to find a job but nothing is working for me. I just received my bachelors in criminal justice. Is there any way I can find friends from another city on Facebook. I looked in Craigslist and I'm scared to find someone on there. Do you think someone will allow me to stay with them until I get settle?

I am a guy and am sleeping with a married man, his wife knows all about it and is fine about it. She says 'my husband loves his men, he has had several male lovers during this marriage' In fact i also sleep with her, it is like an arrangement, it is fine as i like both women and men however weirdly he has no interest in sleeping with both me and his wife at same time. Is is normal for a married man to have male lovers?

Some of the names I like are: Bailey Sage Annabelle My honey is really in love with the name Annabelle but Annabelle Jupiter doesn't sound good together so maybe suggest something similar?

So I was looking at this girl at the Starbucks and we locked eyes on two seperate occasions for a few seconds. I was looking at her first by the way and would like to know is she creeped out?

My boyfriend is turning 18 in a few months and his mother told him she may kick him out because she has another kid on the way. He is still in HS cuz he failed a grade, so can she still kick him out or not because he s in school. I don t want him to end up dropping out or not succeeding if he has to live on his own while going to school.

So there's this guy that works across from my workplace, and i think he's really handsome and i have a crush on him. And from what im sensing with his body language is that hes also attracted to me. But im a very shy person when it comes to men that i like, and it seems he's shy as well since hes been Doing the "stare & hold without smiling" situation. When i first ever called him handsome i never really paid full attention to him so i dont even know how long has he been staring at me for. Its been like the last 2 months that i really started giving him my full attention, body language wise. So, the place he works at is like all mens wear, and just recently a new guy came in to work there. At first i didn't recognize this new guy but soon enough it did click to me that hes a far cousin of mine who i havent seen in like 5-7years. The guy that i think is handsome hasnt been really looking my way anymore since this new guy started working. I dont even know if my cousin told him that shes my cousin, and maybe thats why hes backing off? Or is he backing off cuz he thinks i think the new guy is attractive (which i dont)? Also my last struggle is that i will be leaving for vacation in 3 days and j wont be back for 2 months, and i dont want the guy i like to think i'll never be back. So i dont know how to tell him without being weird and awkward. Also what if he rejects me because of his shyness? How can i approach him otherwise? help! I like this guy way too much to lose him!
