I am in my 20s my boss' wife is a more mature woman i think late 40s. a few of us have lunch together and we struck up a conversion one day and i found her to be smart, funny and very beautiful. I had told her i was going to concert on Friday and bam i see her at a bar across the street we had a free drinks and headed to my place where it all happened. I am told she is swinging by the office today to drop off my boss' lunch should i avoid her or just act normal, should we talk?

I've been at a low place in my life and I'm just not doing too great.. my friend has noticed and has checked up on me a lot lately because of how I've been, I cried to her on the phone the other day as I wasn't doing great at all. She's helped me through a lot but she told me she's monitoring me and watching what I post and making sure I'm fine or not doing anything dumb. Why is she doing all of that? She even put me in heck the other day (got after me) for considering something bad. Why has she been all over me like that? She even told me if things got worse she'd call my family.. she's super caring to me but why is she all over me? I'm 20 and she's 40, we're very close friends.. like I had said, she said she would be monitoring my posts and if she saw anything that worried her she'd call my mom. I decided to deactivate it. Should I tell her that I did? Or just let her find out?... all though if she searches my name and I don't pop up, I don't want her to think I blocked her and the. She'll really get mad

My guy friend and I kinda had a fall out and yesterday one of my friend tried to get us to talk to each other after work but he decided to walk home so the talk never happened. My friend wanted us to talk, like in a calm way so that we both didn't blow up on each other cause there is a lot of tension between us and I was kind of bummed he didn't want to talk yesterday. My friend told me that he thinks I'm in love w him and that if I still wanted to be friends I can't tell him how I feel or he'll run ways and how I'm like smothering him when I feel likes the complete opposite so I don't know, this all happened a couple weeks ago ado you think he's being a coward and is scared of what will happen if we actually sat down and talked or is he just not ready? *update* also, my guy friend decided to come over w my other manager and it wasn't that awkward I focused all of my attention on my manager cause I didn't have much to say to my friend so yeah I don't know

I text my ex a week after we met up 2 weeks ago, (he asked me to), saying we want different things & nothing's changed (he didn't text like he said he would) & I hope we both find what we want. When we met he was saying he wanted to see me again, telling this guy that I was his girl when he asked, & saying he sometimes wonders why we split up. We didn't have sex, but cuddled & held hands & kissed. He's also been texting since we split up over a year ago & he still has my body cream by his shower, which he brought with him when he moved upstairs - even though we were broken up. When we met up 2 weeks ago, he kissed me & said he would text me, but he didn't, which is why i sent that text that nothing's changed. It didn't go through till Wednesday. On Friday he said he's really sorry he had no internet so he couldn't reply." He text again later saying, "I haven't had internet since I saw you. Seriously." I didn't reply, because I didn't think I needed to & he was obviously avoding what I said in the text. Saturday night he blocked me, which is kind of immature for a guy in his 30s. All I wanted was for us to talk, but should I have replied? People say an ex is an ex, but we didn't break up on bad terms.

I am 24 going on 25 and i've never had a real healthy relationship... the three boyfriends I had were crazy. I joined online dating a few years ago and I met some crazy and normal guys but it seems as if I pushed the good ones away? Maybe it's because I was 18 & 21 and these guys were pushing 30 years old. I recently went on a date with two guys... Brett was sweet but not looking for anything serious. Brendon ended up being super needy and clingy.. he wanted to know my every move. He wanted me to meet his son. I only met Brendon twice. I called it off because it was too much for me. What should I do? What is wrong with me? Men do not approach me. I've been told i'm beautiful etc...

I have a friend who s a Priest and I ve known him for the past 4 years. He s started calling me "Sister," and I want to tell him to stop because it makes me feel like an old a** Nun and because we re not on that level to refer to each other as siblings, at least not yet. Our friendship is slowly developing. It took us 3 years to come to a point of being friends and I only have a few friends in my life that I think of like a sibling, like a "sister." Anyway, I cringe when he does it. He doesn t do it all the time, but when he does it s super annoying. I don t call him "Father" because I don t think its appropriate for our friendship and because of my personal views regarding such a title. He is the youngest of 5 boys, and I ve noticed on social media that he doesn t refer to other women like that. He has a few guys he says brother too. Any advice?

My ex and I had been together for 9 nine years. We met in Chicago and shortly after he moved to Texas. After doing long distance for 2 years I packed up me and my 2 sons, that aren't his, and moved to be closer to him. We fought a lot and he cheated quite a bit. I even broke my ankle trying to kick his door in because he wouldn't let me in. I thought he had a girl there. After 4 years he decided to move back to Chicago and I didn't want to go back. We tried long distance again for 6 months but it didn't work. He was cold, distant and often unavailable. Whenever I asked why, he'd be mean. So I left him. Now 2 years later he started reaching out. After a month of talking again I went to Chicago to visit him. I took my son on our dates and we had a blast. I just got a letter & a book in the mail saying I shouldn't get back with him from an anonymous sender. They claim he has a player there and I deserve better than a cheater. The book is called Mr. Unavailable and the fallback girl. Y would someone send this to my job? Is reconnecting with him a bad idea or should I keep trying?

I don't have much dating experience. I've been seeing a guy for about three months now. He has called himself my boyfriend and I think he likes me a lot. I'm so scared of losing him though, due to past relationships not working. I want to let me know I like him too, but if i stop playing "hard to get" and the "chase" is over, will he still like me? So far, I have been very vague about my feelings for him.

I m Jannet, 37 years old, and my child won t speak to anyone anymore. I came to this site because my oldest son Devon said it would help more. This started about two months before school ended for him where his 4th hour chemistry teacher called me about how she called on him to answer a question because he didn t say a word when the students are typically greeted at the door with good morning and he did not say it back to her. He apparently only looked up at the teacher then opened his mouth but looked around then said nothing so she called on someone else and they answered. After class she told him to stay behind and tried to talk to him but he said nothing back and only shook his head yes or no in response. He kept this up in his other classes as well and even out of school! He won t talk to me or his father or any of his siblings! He only drops his backpack by the stairs as usual then goes to his room and sleep..He s been like this for a while now and school starts September 6th or so for him and I don t want him to stay silent forever! He goes to therapy as requested by him when he came out to me as trans. I am perfectly fine with him being what he truly feels he is and so is his father and siblings so I couldn t imagine if that was the issue. He has very tired eyes too and when he finally said at least one thing he was stuttering! He never stuttered before and I m not sure what to do now..any help is much appreciated thank you all for reading and god bless.

I was walking home with my sister when she kept on looking behind me and told me a man in a suit and tie was walking behind me for the whole time. We were walking home and she was like she saw him staring at me. We were almost home at that time so when I looked back, I saw him creepily staring at me and so my sister grabbed my wrist and ran. The man picked his pace up!! And I've seen him before while I was going to school, he's like in his 20s and I'm 17! Btw im just guessing he's in his 20s and he's always creepily staring. So I told my best friend about it and she joked about him being a kidnapper but then she said it was probably nothing!! Am I being stalked or followed and should I inform the police about it?

I would love an objective opinion on my Instagram and overall appearance. My user is @yoyosupsup I'm a girl, 18 and I just want a genuine idea of what people see when they look at me. Thanks.

but what about mine John? Last time my parents too a belt and beat me black and blue I was 16. When you were 16 you were having sex with me, I was hungry in the middle of a civil war being abused by my parents. What do you want from me? What do you want from me? And how much humiliation and pain does it include?

My mom has always been reliant on everyone. My mom and dad divorced when I was eight. It's always been my father or her ex-boyfriend trying to save her financially. During high school, I lived with my dad and older brother. During that time, her boyfriend dumped her and she went to live with her aunt. My dad kept asking how she was over there; I said things weren't good, my mom and aunt constantly were fighting. I wasn't accepted to college. My parents were surprised about since I graduated with honors. When I started attending community college, my mom moved in with us which has caused a LOT of stress. It made me estranged from my dad because I didn't understand why he allowed my mom to move in. My dad basically told me to still follow with my education but suddenly my mom became my financial responsibility. My mom always complains how I didn't move away to college but my second chance was blown (she's here). I want to move because I need my own life, but my dad is saying if I move out I need to get housing at my school but my mom is always like "what about me?". My mom is controlling, hovering, and severely codependent. She has no man in her life so it's worse than ever. I am currently going to school (commuting from home). I am 25 years old, but I'm not even financially stable. My dad pays for a lot of my things still. My mom and I share a car. I am starting to really resent my mom big time. Should I move out or just try to make money while here and continue school?
