I have a 2nd mother figure in my life, her name is Laura. shes also like my best friend, shes much older than me. She has even said im her best friend to, we hold a strong bond. We talk on the phone every day, I am even friends with her friend Diane too. She is a close friend of hers... i go to Laura all the time for help or advice, shes a special lady to me.. Sometimes I go to Diane if I need advice on something too. Laura and I always talk daily, always compliment each other, we have been through a lot together and have agreed that we are both cvery special people in each others life.. Well today i went to Diane for a question, i dont often, not compared to how much Laura and I talk. After I got advice I needed from Diane I shared it with Laura later on the phone. I told Laura that diane gave me great advice on something, (I was just giving a compliment) and Laura said "Well Im glad Diane can give much greater advice than me, I must need to give advice like her..". She said it jokingly but frustratingly too. I then went on to say how, she (laura) knows how special she is to me and how she is like my 2nd mom and how i talk to her WAYYY more than I ever did Diane.. she lter said she was joking but I know part of her isn't. Why does she get like that sometimes?

I always hear my mother talking on her phone saying how my aunt is an evil person, how badly she treated my mother in the past, etc... You get the point. But whenever we go to her house to visit her they seem to like each other. They get along and have some good conversations. And I don't understand why my mother talks trash about my aunt in closed doors. Maybe it is because how my aunt treated her in the past. But I've never been informed that such thing happened. Anyways, should I tell my aunt of what is happening? Do you think that is a bad idea?

I was sexually abused when I was little and I was assaulted again when I joined the air force so as you could imagine I'm not really the touchy type but, for some reason my roommates boyfriend doesn't seem to get that. The first time I met him he came in for a hug and I met him with a handshake I explained to him that I do not hug because I'm not a touch person (as I didn't know him and I wasn't going to tell my life story) he responded with this " I'll let it slide this time but next time I'll expect a hug no excuses". So the second time he came over he tried again and this time I very firmly told him that I do not like to be touched and that it is a trigger point for me. He then made a joke saying who ever had touched me before just didn't do it right and that if I wasn't going to hug him he would just hug me when I least expected it. So now when he sees me he does the whole I'm not touching you thing or he tries to corner me into a hug. I guess the question is how do I get it through someone's head like this that I do not like being touched and he will not get a hug from me. I mean do I need to tell him my story to get him to leave me alone or do I need to hit or slap him. I'm so tired of feeling like I have to always be on ten because of him touching me without my consent. He doesn't know about my abuse or my assaulted I did not disclose this..... his comment was just in poor taste

I feel like he is knocking on my heart to let his spirit lead instead of the flesh.

I feel like I missed out on a good part of the developmental years of growing up. I had friends, I had experiences, but I didn't hit it to the max. I wasn't adventurous, I wasn't courageous, I wasn't as expansive as I should have been. My travel experience is limited, I've never kissed a girl (had trouble with women), and I'm just now starting to hit a stride in my life and career. I'm moving out to go live in Northern Virginia for a job opportunity. I wanted to move out earlier and I also wanted to move to a different region, but life didn't work out that way. Many of my hopes and dreams were dashed and I feel like my youthful idealism is gone. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to be further ahead by now. I'm expected to be responsible now, so I can't do any partying, long-term traveling, goofing off or any of that stuff. I'm expected to have made all of my mistakes as a teen and young adult. How can I get over this trauma of not truly growing up?

When I went to find a pen from my bag, one of my teachers asked "is this yours" as she was holding a pen that was already on the table. I said no but that I'll use it. So I took it from her then she was like "it's not yours but you'll use it". Why offer it then? Another teacher than gave me his to use.

It now seems like the adult couples who starting dating as teenagers are very small compared to the adult couples that started dating as adults.

I have this coworker/friend that I have developed a huge crush on and I want to sleep with them so bad it hurts but 1.theyre married and 2. Idk how I'd going about telling him. We are pretty close and open with each other and he's open to threesomes but I just don't know how to let him know I want to do this

I have a very unusual problem at least I think it is a very unusual problem. My soon to be husband wants to meet my ex husband. I can not see anything good coming out of this meeting. Both my ex husband and I have moved on and don't have much contact with each other. We did not have any children but we parted on friendly terms. Why would my soon to be husband want to meet my ex husband? I hope they do no want to become buddies. That would just be too weird. What does my soon to be husband want to do? Compare himself with my ex? All my friends tell me NEVER mention my ex husband to my new husband to avoid problems. Should I arrange this meetings? People with ex spouses (and others), please give me your input.

I received two calls and one voicemail just now, one of them was from my country and one from a neighbouring country. The first one called me for like 2 seconds and disconnected but i called it back because i thought it was one of my family members. The woman said something i couldn't understand and then "hello?" i didn't recognize the voice so i hung up. the second call was from a neighbouring country. it was a man voice and he said hello? hello? the then said my name and i was so scared. It was not a robot voice it was a person. I hung up and blocked the number. then i received a voicemail but it was a man speaking a language i could not understand. Every thing here happened in a span of 7 minutes. What's happening??

I mean a lot of couples do break up or get a divorce in today's world, and less people are starting to get married now. It now seems like when 2 people are in love with each other, they are bound to stop being in with each other sometime in their lives. I'm starting to think that there's no such thing as someone having their special someone for them to spend most of their life with, and are rather supposed to have multiple different special people at different points in their life to spend with. So I don't believe in someone finding the "right one" in their life, but rather just finding the right people in their life to be with at different points in their life.
