I am engaged to a girl I have known since I was 8 and she was 5. We grew up together, our families were friends, I was treated like a son from her parents. I love her and my biggest dream since I was a child was marrying her, as she was and is the most beautiful and sweet girl I have ever met. Til I was 15 I treated her like a sister/friend, afteewards I started liking not just her personality but also found her attractive. Now I am 24 she is 21 and we made love for the first time, I took her virginity and though it was like a dream coming true, being together with your soulmate, it made me feel at fault because I have known this girl since she was a child and I have always pictured her like purity and innocence, which she still is, but I feel like a took something from her and I shouldn't have, it's hard to explain but by and large this is the thing. I love her but I feel at fault for making love to her, though I like it at the moment.

It would be an easy decision for most people but i'm not too good with the interpersonal skills. I left my job 15 months ago. There was a lady I spoke to frequently. There was a bit of sexual tension and possible romance there but nothing happened due to circumstances at the time. She hinted a few times for me to get Facebook when I left so we could stay in touch but I never did as I hate social media. The only way I can contact her now is by her work email, not sure how appropriate that would be? Also not sure if I am reading too much in to our friendship and maybe there wasn't much there. I don't live anywhere near her, if she doesn't respond it won't cause awkward circumstances, I would just feel stupid and my precious ego would be bruised lol. I don't know how much of her liking of me was based on sympathy (I had some personal difficulties at the time) and how much was based on her sexual attraction (and no that isn't arrogance, we were attracted to one another). I wouldn't know what to say. What would you say in an email to someone you haven't spoken to in over a year who may not have liked you that much in the first place? For all I know she is angry at me for ignoring her hints at staying in touch. Plus i'm not sure what would come of it, we don't live close to one another. It would just be an online correspondence, but the same would have been true if I got Facebook like she hinted at. Clearly that was good enough for her. All advice welcome, thanks in advance.

My mom only watches movies with me and we talk a lot. So there is no reason why she should need more time with me. I also knows she trusts me because i never lie or let her down. I wanted to hang with a guy today because im lonely and need a relationship. She of course took several hours for an answer and a lot of pushing. She asked a lot of questions in which i answered the way she wanted me too. She then said no because SHE didn t feel good. I don t get it im so unhappy with friends or relationships. She knows it would make her feel netter if i left for a few hours. I would have a ride. I just don t get it please someone explain why she goes out of her way for no reason just to hurt me and act like im not thankful for her being there. Anytime i tell her some truth or facts she threatens to take my phone away. I also treat my mom with more respect than a lot of my other friends do. Please tell me what I can do to be a teenager instead of a technology and lonely addicted mole rat.

Hi, I am 18, a guy. My cousin asked me if I wanted to go see Elton John with her at the Chase Center. I told her "I'd have to think about it". I have the money and all but its just so expensive. I like his music and all, but. the tickets are outrageous. should I go with my cousin?

I'm a 40 year old married woman with two kids. I have great life. I feel that "people" around me (family & friends) maybe jealous of my life. I'm very focused on being the best wife & mom that I can be. I don't bother anyone. I recently found out that close family members have been talking negatively about me behind my back. That situation was & still is very hurtful to me. I need to find a way to not let what other people do or say affect how I feel. This situation has caused me a lot of pain. I want to learn how to stop caring so much about other people's opinion of me, how do I accomplish this?

Isolation is the healthiest place to be.

i'm envious of people who live in tampa, orlando, miami, etc.. there's always so much to do. i've been there on vacation a couple times and didn't wanna leave

She got drunk and got a dui now she's wanting out go out to a concert and stuff with her friend which also has a dui I told her I don't wanna deal with the feeling of being worried because I'm not there to take care of her, I was around when she got the dui she crashed almost killing herself long story short if it wasn't for me she would of burnt in her car knocked out from the crash I went through a lot because I saw the whole accident and I stood by her since day one from helping her recover to taking care of the insurance and all that stuff I don't wanna go through it again and her mentioning going out again kinda worries me, is it normal to feel like this or am I overreacting? Thanks

I saw him at my job and his face was all red. And he said he would message me. And he kept staring and looking back at me. He kept asking if I'm ok... Like why is he asking if I'm ok??? Why is he asking and trying to talk to me after he ghosted me... Like wtf smh..
