Basically when I was really little me and my cousin was really close and he found out about sex I was like 4/5 he was one year older and he'd basically Tell me about sex but like ask to do it with me obviously I didn't understand I didn't even know what sex was but he'd talk me into sexual acts and I feel like my innocence went at a very young age but I didn't know what was happening but i don't know if he did either anyway after finding out about sex I clearly knew about it but to me it was Normal because of the way he put it across anyway as we got older we went camping the same thing happened I must of been about 7/8 and he was sleeping at my house one time and he was trying to get me to do it again only I wouldn't because by this point I knew it was wrong bc my mum I was old enough to have the talk and I slept in my mums room so I didn't have to be in the same bed as him, I tried to brush it off over the years convincing myself I consented but can i honestly properly consent af that age? Anyway about a year ago we became really close again and he was trying to get me to do sexual things again I said no but I'm 16 now and I feel like it has made me confused about sex and things I just want to know if I'd class this as sexual abuse we hardly talk anymore as well now

Nearly all of my friends who dating someone (when they were as young as 18 years old) ended breaking up with that person later on in the future. So when almost all of my friends dating someone at 18 years old, they never stayed with them long enough to get married with them or to have kids with them or both. So why is it whenever someone (about as young as 18 years old) start dating someone, that they will most likely break up with them sometime in the future?

We are in our 30s, sent letter to a friend haven't spoken in years , we had no argumentments whatsoever, just a falling out really. I sent a letter, I know I never did anything to them, but in the letter I asked if I ever did and wanted to apologize. They emailed me back "read it, let's talk". Next day I wrote back "ok, when?" A week went with no response by so as a last attempt I wrote back " if you ever want to please specify as to when" Its been 4 weeks since that was sent . I just dont get why bother to respond to my letter with the response they gave me

I have a seizure disorder, since birth. And I've worked from the ages of 17 to 30, My seizure were under control until 2014, After that, nonstop hospitalizations, 8 Medications, you name it. I met someone in 2015, told him my situation and he said my two children and I could live with him. (Fast forward) because of every job firing me, due to me having seizures at work, he said it would be ok, for me to get myself back together and stay home. I truly was grateful for that. But He started to get physically & emotionally abuse me, Making my seizures worse. I called the police once, and he showed them my Medications, and the cop didn't help me at all, he told the Cop that after a seizure attack, I'm not in my right mind wow! So they left

Was taught to do as she wanted but I was privledged to get to do it. I would become a big boy faster. She called it needful training for both our futures. Happened from 2 to 10, but I didn't realize it took place until I was 35. I started having dreams of it and after about a week of them it came flooding back to me as if it were last night that we did anything with each other.

I was born going to a Catholic school for 9 years with a religious family, I get it but, say you aren't religious and you go over to someones bbq and all of sudden before everyone eats you are thrown into a prayer circle.. How do you react?

I'm gonna get straight to the point. My car is broke down in a impound yard 200 miles away from where I live. I'm about to lose my job because I have no way to get to work. I only have $80 to my name. I have no family or friends to get rides from to get to work and I live in a area where i work about a hour away and there is no public transportation. I currently live with my parents and they are beyond fed up with me and my issues so they have chosen to not help at all, which is understandable but where do I start to get things back going?? What do I do cause i'm so lost. Also i've Just been sitting in this house for 2 days and now my parents are telling me I can't stay here all day and do nothing but like what can I do without money or a way to get to work.

Im a woman. Me and my bf have been dating for almost a year now and I know he used to jerk off to these instagram college babe accounts all the time before we met. He said he does not anymore and I believe him. I have no doubt how sexy he thinks I am, or how much he loves me and wants to be with me. I just need some peace of mind. Why do men do this even when in a committed relationship? Why go on instagram and physically search these pages or models to look at? Do you jerk off to them or do it to get turned on before u jerk off? do you just look because they are hot and like move on from it without getting turned on? what goes through your mind. I just need peace of mind here because I know its normal and it doesnt reflect through his treatment towards me at all, i just need to know it means nothing. My mind doesnt think like a guy and I dont understand. (pls be sensitive to my feelings here this topic sends me into like bad anxiety attacks and depressive episodes)

is this a good song to send a girl that is going to break up with you? we used to listen to this band in the past. sorry I just want an opinion.

She said from the beginning gas money was necessary since she would be driving that same distance since she lives in my apartment complex anyway. Now she's asking for $20. I have been having to wake up 1 hour earlier and leave earlier just to ride with her. Plus in the mornings we have to drop her daughter off to daycare which is out of the way.

I have been letting a friend stay with me that would otherwise be homeless. He has some emotional and health issues that is causing him to be unable to hold onto a job. He has been applying for social security and it has been a very long and hard struggle for him. His only income is food stamps and he does contribute that...he gets $200 in food stamps a month and he will use that to buy food for the both of us. ..so this is a big help. I pay for everything else and in addition to that I pay him about $15 a week to clean the very small apt, do the laundry and take his dog out for a walk since his dog distracts me while i am working (I work at home). So my question is..do you think this sounds like a fair deal that i am giving him? or does it sound unfair to me? or maybe unfair to him? I tend to be a pushover so i am not sure if I am being too generous in offering him money for chores that i can easily do myself? i mean, he is living with me rent free ...but on the other hand he is contributing with $200 in food stamps a month for the both of us...and maybe i am wrong to make use of some of that? any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated ..thanks in advance.:) and will choose a best answer

I told her tat I don't like to hear about it but she keeps mentioning it.

Hey, So, I'm a 26 yr old female and I live with my older brother. But he's currently staying out of town because he has to work, so I'm home all by myself with my 2 animals. Anyway, today I stayed home all day and this random stranger (male) with a dog rang my doorbell 3 times. He rang it once this morning, then again in the evening sometime, and then again at 9 o'clock at night. I didn't answer the door because I have no idea who he is and it seems kinda strange to me that he'd keep coming back when he can clearly see that there's NO car in our driveway or anywhere near it. After the 3rd time, I finally called my brother and told him about it because it was giving me anxiety. He got really upset (basically cussed me out) that I didn't tell him about it sooner, and he was saying that the guy's a predator and whatnot, and he called up one of his friends to come and pick me up, so I can spend the night at their house. Did my brother overreact or was he right to have his friend come get me? Thanks! :)

We broke up about a year ago because we were fighting and arguing and his tense family circumstances didn't help as his brother was diagnosed with kidney failure. During the fight he said i didn't know how to treat a man because my parents were divorced and i hadn't seen a loving relationship like his parents. I then went on to say that his mom had no voice in their household. He attacked back saying "at least she didn't come to church dressed in club attire, arms and legs showing" I then responded which I shouldn't have "your mom looked like she came from the stable, you never buy her new clothes." Fast forward two months I saw him staring at me in church so I texted him but he said he would never forgive me and wouldn't allow himself to have feelings for me again because of what i said about his mom. I didn't respond. Every Sunday in church he'd keep staring at me but I gave him cold looks and avoided his looks. He started smiling and talked to me as I went down the stairs saying hi how are you. Recently I've been warm to him looking at him and smiling. I texted him the other day and this how the conversation went. I asked about his brother then he asked me about school and when I get acceptance letters. This was last Sunday, yesterday I was going down the stairs he was a bit behind I"m wondering why he didn't catch up to me and talk to me. Could he be too scared?

My roommate, Sam, and I had a friend named Bob . Bob died on June sixteenth, and his funeral was June twenty -- eighth . Bob did a lot for us, so we made sure we went to his funeral . Sam's Uncle Chuck died on July twelfth . Sam and his Uncle Chuck weren't very close, so he was all ready to skip the funeral . Sam's sister made him take time off of work and go to the funeral . I would've gone to the funeral no matter what, so I would've shown him up if he didn't go .Sam is close with Uncle Chuck's widow, so I know she appreciated us being there . By the same token, I say when you're relative dies, it's your duty as a member of the family to go to the funeral . Now Sam's angry at his sister for insisting he go to the funeral . He says he could have gotten fired for going to the funeral . I asked "Who gets fired for going to a funeral ?" . Sam said "You'd be surprised !" . NOW -- Is it possible to get fired for going to a funeral ? Who gets fired for going to a funeral ? How often does that happen ? Do you know anybody who ever got fired for going to a funeral ? Thank you in advance for your answers .

Adults don't treat kids how they like to be treated and if a kid does something to an adult they get in trouble but if the adult does it to the kid the adult can do whatever they want to them.

My boyfriend and I had a short break up, he got with a girl at a party, I thought I'd get revenge and get with an ex, we both regretted it shortly after and obviously made up and have since then been together, we love each other very much but I found out I was pregnant in December, as the date gets closer he thinks we should get a test to make sure it's his because if it's not he believes I atleast should let the real father be in her life because he knows the feeling of not having his real father while growing up. I'm not looking for criticism, just answer to if we can get the test before I decide on the last name on her birth certificate

I have two friends who were together over a year and they just broke up. I'm really sad about it because they seem to have broken up on bad terms and I feel like one is off limits now. I only met one of them after they started dating my friend and I got really close to them but now I feel like they're out of my life for good. Honestly I kind of feel like I got broken up with lol. Is this normal or am I too clingy to people?

for meals. And they happily accept. Even though we have done this plenty of times, NOT ONCE has any American co-worker reciprocated and brought us food nor have they invited us to their house. Asians and Indians HAVE, but Never an American. WHY is that? I am an American, my friend is East Indian, and the co-workers have absolutely no problem eating our food. I grew up as an American knowing that this IS common courtesy or so I thought. So what is going on with Americans, and WHAT can I do about it in as subtle way as possible to let them know we would appreciate a meal or invite from them? We don't want to be rude, but we would like to feel appreciated if they reciprocated. HELP with advice. Thanks.
