My siblings and I are grown...i am the only one who made something of myself but a house and got married...my sister and her husband live in a rental with mom and her 3rd husband...who refuses to work ...lately my mom and husband are not talking because he sees her as a person tryingvto manipulate and use me because they have money problems...she sees my husband as the one enjoying the home and life style she doesn't have ....and is jealous of him and my son...benefitting from me working hard... why would my mom try to act so loving as an adult...when she wasn't a good mom...only cared about money and spendibg it so she's in,such financial issues...do you think your own mom is capable of using her daughter for money??

My mom & me were going on FB to view photos of family that went on vc. I went to the search all these things pop up like "very difficult over 40 to get pregnant, chances of becoming pregnant at 44, how to get pregnant at 44, ways to get pregnant in 40s, the only way to get pregnant in 40s, etc." Right away I ask my mom & she became a bit speechless & wasn't so clear on why she google it all she said was "it's not how to, it's because all these things you told me". Which was that since she is in early menopause her body is a bit outta whack, theres always a chance to get pregnant. I told her many times because she would freak if she was randomly spotted thinking she had cancer. I told her I say that to make you understand the spottings normal. U would think she would look that kind of stuff up a yr ago when I started to tell her, why just now right? U think she would google how to NOT get pregnant. Anyway she said "I'm getting old, everything goes by so fast I remember when I was in my 30s now I'm getting hit in the face with being 44". I ask her again & she quickly nodded yes & changed subject then I ask her again is she really done with having kids, & she nodded I repeat it then she made a smirking face & kinda like a smirking laugh & said something like "please I want to or I can't even enjoy my life now". I said I want to enjoy life as a family now before I have mine & she said me too. But thing is when I brought up about protection the other day she seem funny with it

tall.Why me ?

obsession with me?

So my fiancé's ex is using their daughter as a pawn.She does not work and lives in another country.So he sends money every month.She demands more.. and their is only 11 months and she claims she is always throwing tantrums because she missed her dad.And she is always recording her say " dada" dada' … My fiancé loves his child but I feel like the mom is going over board so that he can send more money or spoil the kid more.Any thoughts? It's not my business but its annoying

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for two years. First off, he has a drinking problem which we have both addressed he needs help for. He becomes abusive and delusional when he drinks. I have told him that I'm leaving him and he promised to get help if I stayed. Another issue I am having is that he constantly blames me for things I don't do. I dyed my hair and bought myself new clothes because I haven't done something for myself in years. He immediately accuses me of seeing someone else whenever I wear my new clothes or do my makeup. He went through my phone and found a selfie I saved on my Snapchat and freaked out saying I sent it to someone. I do not take selfies for this exact reason, but I had just gotten my hair done and took it to save it for myself and I only have female friends on my Snapchat but he doesn't believe me. I deleted my Instagram and other social media for this reason to eliminate any unnecessary or blame for things I don't do. He accuses me of wanting attention from other people when I don't even have friends anymore. I tried to take his beer away from him because he was drunk, it spilled as he held onto it, then accused me of "smashing" it because I was mad that I had "been caught" sending pictures to people when I have done no such thing. Then he physically abused me for 15 minutes after because of his own fabrications. I cry every night out of anger of the constant accusations and abuse. What the hell do I do?

I don't just mean as boyfriends. I also seek out platonic relationships with masculine-acting people. When I was a little kid, all my friends were boys. We would sword-fight and wrestle. I changed to a school where boys are not friends with girls, but I have always sought out relationships with cousins and uncles (and one aunt) who like to roughhouse and drink and pick up the check. I am perplexed because I read that women are attracted to men similar to their fathers, but my big brother and dad are both very erudite. They only break the rules for efficiency purposes and get annoyed when people roughhouse instead of playing constructive games. I feel like I need these relationships and I don't know why. Is there a scientific explanation?

My partner and I have been together for six years. It has been rocky at times. We met at age 18 and moved in together quite fast. I was young and reckless, failed my degree, was struggling financially and it caused a lot of strain on us. After two years of working, I went back to uni, got a degree, and am now working in law/finance. The thing is I often feel a real lack of support from him. I feel as though he only sees me as a sum of my failures. E.g. I once brought up wanting to apply for a job in another town and he said 'why??? You are too slow and need brain power for that kind of job' and said that I think I'm better than what I really am. This went on for about 5 hours. It really hurt me and still does. In contrast he has done extremely well for himself but I said I would support him regardless of what he wanted to do. I argue that I feel he does not communicate anything positive/uplifting when I try to self-improve. I have expressed my concern for his lack of empathy in the way he speaks. He argues that he is skeptical and his judgement on how to do better is his way of showing support. He says he is traumatised by what I caused him from my past. I understand the skepticism but I argue what state the relationship is in when one person chooses to no longer be supportive in an uplifting way? I know I need to believe in myself but from his criticism I start to doubt myself. What do you think?

How did you handle it?

Bonus question:Why do that?

All im missing is my doctoral project and clinical hours to finish. Cost of living in Miami is so ridiculous. I have been struggling everyday to make ends meet. My son is out of school for the summer so now i have more expenses feeding him at home which at school at least he has breakfast and lunch. My cars engine died so now im paying for over priced Ubers. All my savings have gone to crap with this degree and im regretting it so bad. I dont know what to do except relocate to another city with cheaper living. What city do you guys reccomend. I neeed to get out of this dump. I hate Miami so much. So hard for anyone who is alone to get by.

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 10 years now. We were together in middle school, high school, and went to the same college. I am one Year older than him and once I graduated college I took an internship with the company of my dreams in FL ( he is in PA). It is coming up to the time where my internship is ending and he is graduating college. We talked about marriage at this point but now he is making me choose either stay in Florida with my dream job or move to a different state with him.
