Hi. So I am in college. I went to my professors office hour with a bandage on my arm from the cuts. She asked what happened to my arm and I said nothing was wrong with it and she just let it go and didn't ask about it again. The thing is, I want to tell her about it but I have a good relationship with this professor and I don't want to ruin the relationship. I haven't told anyone I cut myself and it's draining not telling anyone. I feel like she would be a good person to tell. Should I tell her and if so, how should I tell her? I am in college so she can't tell my parents or anything like that. How do I bring it up to her that I cut? Any personal experiences? Thank you!

I've been working at a healthcare clinic for almost 3 years now as a part-time receptionist, as I am currently a student. 1st year combined with a clinic and 2 years with the same dentists, who started up their new clinic. We're a very friendly clinic (staffs) and we all gift each other stuff for birthdays. But my boss (head dentist) wants to gift me an iWatch. Is that too big of a gift? (Our relationship is purely professional too.) Just want opinions!

I was home from school early yesterday and got home before my mom did, and I heard her from upstairs while she was on the phone. She was talking to her sister about how this guy who's a manager at her gym has been flirting with her and trying to take her out. On top of that he is a black guy so I already know this guy will not give up. She said she never told my dad about him yet and doesn't think she's going to because then he will tell her to stop going to that gym. Further into it she said to my aunt "you know it sucks because he's so fine, and dad never let us date black guys when we were younger." This is complicated but my family is middle eastern and migrated here in the 90s, so they are very fixed on staying within their culture. My grandpa would have killed my mom had she ever dated outside her race with a black man, but he's dead now. And honestly I can see why this guy is hitting on her, she's a gorgeous woman and keeps her figure nice. So then she kept going on about how this guy is soo irresistable and that he reminded her how much she found black men attractive growing up but couldn't do anything about it. This is the part where I almost threw up, she said something about "king sized chocolate" that I didn't fully understand. The conversation ended with her saying she might just let him take her out once to see if she "made a mistake" now wtf does she mean by that?? My parents have been married for 16 years and she's just now feeling like this all of a sudden?

Is love worth it? spiritually speaking

an introverted weight lifter at 35 at the time, 37 now, and never had a girlfriend in my life due to self esteem issues that rises when I was a young kid coming from people in general or parents teasing me. So in that regard I never ever really tried to get a girlfriend and just stayed to myself. Of course many girls I came into contact with who were flirty were just bullying me. Truth. I'm still into girls 18-20 something. I've seen this one girl in the gym when I first switched clubs. She is always training with her friend. They are eye candy for sure. Every guy in the gym would talk to her and she be surrounded by sharks lol. Noticed the one girl very innocently and maybe even got caught. Therefore, I usually keep my distance. One day I was stretching and she all giggly asked me if I left a water bottle by the machine. It was obvious it was hers. I just shook my head and continued to stretch. Moments later I went to get some water at the fountain and she was standing behind me waiting for her turn. I simply walked past her like she wasn't born. The next day I'm walking into the building and she walking to her car. I can feel a strange invisible sense of awkwardness. In the corner of my eye I could tell she looked annoyed. Why? It's been a couple years and I stil see her in there time to time. She was sitting doing arm curls and I walk by to go to a station. In the corner of my eye I could see she made a sharp turn with her head in my direction. Why????? she seems annoyed when she looks in my direction and thats scary as fck

40+ couple

So I talk to this girl at the office and when I'm walking away I see her eyes shift down to my pants then up afst

So, this happened: we slept together. First time in the same bed, no sex, because she's virgin and I do respect her. We talked, stayed together, talked about lots of things, and she fell asleep next to me, with her hand in my hand and her leg between mine. When she woke up she stretched a bit and one of the underwears straps fell off so saw her... nipple. Needless to say that I wanted to kiss her so bad there but I couldn't because she's a bit difficult for these things and when she realized it she turned as red as a tomato and readjusted the strap and covered herself in shame with the blanket til the chin. She was strange and taciturn the whole day. Suddenly while we were talking about another topic she told me 'you know, you are the one who has ever seen me... (she meant naked). Neither my mom has ever seen me since I was a teenager'. I was like: well thats normal I'm your boyfriend it should be obvious that I am the one to see you naked. But she was saying like it was such a bid deal. Anyway, why is she like this, I understand shy, but come on it's me! We've been through a lot. When I say a lot I meam she ran away from her abusive aunt's home in the middle of the night and stayed at my place. She got beaten up for me from her aunt. I defendes her. We are living together now. She was sick, I took care of her. I was always there for her and she makes a big deal about a nipple.
