we were together for three years i got pregnant and he told me he would make my life hell if i kept it etc etc. So igot rid of the baby and left him and still a year later he harasses me saying how im such a shitty person and no one would ever want a kid with me etc etc. I just dont get it?

After I broke up with my now ex boyfriend, there was a short period of time where he physically hurt me. One thing that he did stood out the most - I was wearing a hoodie one of the days and he pulled it back so that it choked me. This happened twice. Other things that he did were hit me with his lunchbox and push me down when I tried to get up. He also made threats, not directly towards me but to others, saying that he was going to kill me and that he wanted to bomb my lunch table. I've talked to my school counselor about his actions, but I was wondering if what he did qualified as abuse and if it is valid to call him an abuser.

so he must be thinking I am young, but I am not. Maybe he will then break up with me thinking I cant have children so I am a waste of time for him.

Some background: My girlfriend and I are polar opposites on the political spectrum (I will not disclose any specifics about that because I want actual answers to my question, not a political battleground. I've had quite enough of that for one lifetime). Last night, I bit the bullet and brought up the next presidential election because I have been worried for months that she will dump me if I don't vote for her side. After a horrible argument and us both breaking down crying, she said she was shocked that I would think that and would certainly stay with me but that it hurts her that I would rather vote for a side that she thinks is very immoral over her side, which she thinks won't get anything passed anyway. She went on to tell me that politics don't affect me because I am a white male (yeah, the draft totally couldn't turn my whole life around if one of our leaders were to have an itchy trigger finger). That part was particularly upsetting to me. This just leads me to believe she doesn't respect my political beliefs since she would actually get angry with me for casting my vote the only way I can in good conscience. It's as if she can't distinguish between myself and my vote. I love her so much, and she is more than I could ever ask for in a partner, but this is very concerning to me. I need her to respect me and the fact that I am my own person who will vote for whatever side I think is best. What can I do to help her see that this really hurts me?

A married man started hitting on you, then told his wife that you were after him and trying to end their marriage, laughed and then embraced and kissed his wife right in front of you after she beat you up, then told you that you were beneath him and his wife and that you shouldn't expect anything nice from him.

I went to America once and I've noticied hos segregated young white boys are. They always hung up with each other and they seem to be racist towards Asians, Latinos and Blacks. Jim Crow is gone but they are still segregation.

My boyfriend and I are in a LOng distance relationship. He rarely texts me but has the time to post his photos on Snapchat. Usually I'm not bothered because I understand that we all get busy but now I'm unsure if he's just trying to push me away. I make the effort to text him back but it doesn't seem it's mutal. Should I brush his texts aside as well? And see how he feels.

When I was 14 I had a brain tumour, it resulted in me having to learn almost everything all over again (walking, talking, even bathing myself etc). It took me several years to recover and I got my first job when I was 20, but I still had issues with walking and was legally not allowed to drive because of my eyesight. From the age of 20-25 I couldn't hold a job longer than 2-3 months because I was so insecure and had zero confidence, so I could never concentrate on anything. Last year I was emotionally broken, I had no money at all, no job and no friends. Since then I've turned it around somehow, I'm able to concentrate at work and have been in a stable job for 6 months. I'm happy now, with every aspect of my life EXCEPT the fact that I'm 26, single and still live with my parents. My friends are all married, engaged, about to have their first child or they own a house. I've been feeling so down on myself because in Australia, buying a house is so expensive, and I'm still about a year away from being able to afford a deposit even though I'm trying so hard to save money

I am so stupid. She was flirting, giggling, staring, and showing she is interested. I saw it as her being really nice. Now she is ignoring and avoiding me. I thought about it, and do really like her. What do i do?

She was just as crazy about him as if she where her real grandson when he was born two 1/2 years ago and just like all my birthday parties, she's been at his 1st and 2nd birthday party and is makes his quilts and little hat and glove sets, just like she did me and my brother back in 80s when we were his age.

So I fell head over heels for the first time. He's 4 years older than me and the first time we saw each other we couldn't take our eyes off of each other. I couldn't cause I was in a awe and he couldn't simoly cause for him it was a challenge (he was like, why do you look at me? Stop). Anyway lately we started to talk with an excuse and he seems less mysterious and unreachable than before. Recently he did a few things that made my heart melt: as we were waiting for the bus (we work in the same place) it was like 11 pm and dark everyone was shivering at the bus stop and he told me to come closer and he hugged me and gave me his winter hat. At first I was kinda shocked (my first hug, first contact with a boy) but then it felt better. On the bus I was so tired I fell asleep on his shoulder and he woke me up when I had to get off. I apologised and he said: why? You were so tender and didn't make a sound. Another time he checked if I had fever putting his hand on my forehead, I blushed and he looked worried. When a coworker started annoying me he came to defend me. He reads what i write and I showed him my drawings and he said I was an artist, and he knew I was special the first time he saw me. The only, huge problem about him is that he's been with my cousin and I just found out now. My cousin was always mean to me, like a bully. I cant believe it. I cried the whole day trying to get him out of my head. I also told him I hated him for what he did, he said he was young and it was just for hormons. Horrible. I cannot forgive him. I dont understand if he really likes me or they were just coincidences that he helped me.He broke my heart and we were even not engaged. I am the total opposite of my cousin (I'm shy, pessimistic, a loner, I like poetry and she goes clubbing, dresses in a sexy way, has sex, makes mean remarks about me). Why do only the worst things happen to me?

I work in an office with 11 other women. The company is installing a new computer system and one of their employees (BOB) is training us to use the new system. Bob is in his mid 20s, single and a GREAT looking guy. He makes all of want to be 10-15 years younger when we see him. He is also a VERY NICE guy. We call him a lot asking for help with the new computer system and some of my work mates even make up problems just so they can call him for help. Bob saw my name (June XXX) on my desk and said to me "I have a friend John XXX". Is that a relative? I told him sort of. John XXX is my ex husband. Bob said "I know John and I have seen John's current girlfriend". "I can see John is carrying on the tradition of dating only beautiful women". I think there is a compliment in there someplace or is that just wishful thinking on my part? What do you think? Should I have said thank you?
