My friend and I had the dumb idea to prank call my neighbor. He answered and only my friend talked so he wouldn't recognize my voice(throughout this story I am Katherine). My friend finally told him "I'm Katherine's friend". He started laughing and stayed on the call. My friend then said jokingly "do you wanna know what I look like" and he said "sure". My friend told him "I'm a step worse than Katherine" and he said "you can't be bad then cause Katherine is pretty cute". Then my friend asked him "do you like Katherine's dad" and he said "he's a nice guy but wouldn't like me if his old neighbor told him his daughter is smoking hot". My friend said "do you think that" and he said "trust me I'm only just joking" the call then lasted for like forty five minutes or so. Keep in mind we're 15 and he's 41 with a family.

Why does the lazy person not see that he should date/marry someone who is ambitious so they can feed off the other person's energy and ambition and discipline? Instead they seek to be catered to and pandered to and enabled by marrying another lazy person

Me and my husband were at a big dinner event with about 10-15 people we table. We got our orders in and the waiter came back with everyone's drinks. There was a woman sitting across from my husband at the table. She was talking to a lady next to her in a lower voice about how she wished there were napkins because the condensation from her cup was making a ring of water on the table. The next thing I know my husband goes running off and the returns shortly with napkins for her to make a coaster out of. I thought that was a little odd and then when the dinner was just about over and she was leaving, he got up almost immediately after her to then give her a hug and follow her out the door almost as if he was going to walk her to her car and open/close her door for her but didn't. I knew he wanted to but I think he thought I would see him through the window.

I've known my friend for 3 years, I've been friends with him for 2 and I've been in love with him for 2 years. He's happily married with a family and I'm happily engaged. My friend used to act like he'd want to get to know any guy I would potentially end up with, but every time he's been around my fiance, he doesn't really talk to him much. He never even acknowledged our engagement, although his wife did. He and I used to be pretty close, not like best friends or anything, but closer than some. He was always the one giving me wise advice on situations or appreciating my positivity and encouragement, but these days, it's like we're strangers. It's been this way mostly since I got engaged 5 months ago. We go to the same church and have for a couple years (he invited me and I've been going since). A few Sundays ago, as my fiance and I were leaving church, I saw my friend and he was visibly looking around for somebody, stopped when he saw me and he smiled and lifted his hand to say hello. I wrote him the next day saying I was sorry we didn't get to chat, but that I hope he and the family are doing well, no reply. Him and his wife came and sat two seats down from us this past Sunday, but they only said hello and when everybody was obligated to shake the hands of a few people, he shook my fiance's hand, but not mine and I pretty much felt invisible. After service was over, he made no effort to catch up or speak to us or anything. Why does he act different now? I'm 28, he's 39 A C, not going to change churches. I'm already paying this one to host my wedding next year. Plus, that is my church home. I never plan on leaving it unless I am obligated to move out of state. Ana, I just had to laugh at how stupid you sound. First of all, I've never even hugged the man, let alone had sex with him. Second of all, did you know it's a sin to judge people? Therefore, YOU are the fake "Christian", my dear. I sin, I know I sin, but guess what? I was saved 2 years ago and God knows my heart. I have nothing to worry about. Third of all, I make my own money and don't NEED a man. I am marrying my fiance because I love him and want to spend my life with him. (continued) Ana, your poor brain must be very tiny. Also, I know and love my friend's family and they love me, too, so you're delusional and straight up crazy to think that his wife is suddenly bothered by our friendship LOL!

a person that I thought was my friend for 3 years (and that I used to have romantic feeling for) admitted to me today that he only pursued me and befriended me because he wanted a quickie with me. I am so angry and livid that he would dare to treat me like that since I thought he was my friend and I am also confused because I was interested in a relationship with him but he did not seem interested in me in that way..so he did not want me as his girlfriend or even his friend. He just wanted me for a quickie and stayed friends with me in all this time in the hopes of that. I feel so angry...but does the fact that I am angry mean that I must still have romantic feelings for him? or would any friend be angry over this? Will give a best answer

My ex and I were together for 4 years. We fought hard and we loved hard. In the end, we ended in a huge fight. It was over. To much damage had been done. I have not spoken to him in a year. Last night my phone rang and he was drunk, he said he ran into a homeless man we helped once and we lost contact with him. He said he felt like it was a sign. He had wanted to call me before, but he had to call me and tell me. He blamed me for our whole break up, which was because of his drinking and my reactions. Both responsible! Then he told me how much he loved me and as an adult, he has never loved anyone the way he loves me. Then he told me how he was sleeping around and not in a committed relationship. He then asked me to see him and I declined. I reached out to him so many times the first 6 months and begged him to see me. Death seemed better then being apart. I thought we would get married too- he's 38 and told me that if he saw me out with another man, I better leave for the guys safety. I knew he was drunk, so out little credence on what he was saying. This afternoon, I got an I am sorry email. He hung up on me last night after asking me to see him and I said to much had happened and I was still healing. I am wondering if he was just drunk or if this is normal when a man really cares? He asked to take me out, told me how well he was doing financially and apologized for calling. I only care because last night I was dealing with drunk him, today I missed sober him again.

My husband and I use to have an amazing sex life, he would get aroused just by looking at me, but now he only wants to have intercourse if we have foreplay, and by foreplay, I mean that he ONLY wants me to do all of the foreplay. He never does anything to arouse me, so I just go with the flow at this point, which in return, leads to painful intercourse. I act like I'm enjoying it, but in reality, I can't wait for it to be over. I don't mind doing things to satisfy him, but I feel extremely insecure because I miss the times when we would have spontaneous intercourse without having foreplay, and I'm also confused as to why he all of a sudden can no longer get aroused unless I'm rubbing or licking/sucking his private area. I now find myself comparing him to previous partners that I have had in the past, as I had a better sex life with most of them than I do with my own husband. I resent him now, and can careless to have intercourse with him, as he has made me feel insecure about myself. I don't understand how he can get aroused by just watching porn, but can't get aroused unless I'm touching his private area. Also, I'm 25 years old and he's 26 years old, so I doubt that it has anything to do with his age.

I haven't had sex in over a year and prior to that only twice the previous year. I'm on the verge of leaving my wife. I feel like I'm her roommate who signs checks and pays bills. It's lonely and soul destroying. Hopeless feeling that I can't explain.

Have you ever had a major issue or argument which resulted in the two of you not speaking, or slowing things down for a period of time? If so, why didn't you break up, how did you get through it, and how long did it take?

I should've asked this question years ago. I think I have way better tolerance than most people on this site. But tolerance doesn't mean that I'm smarter; clearly if she stresses me out because she's stressed then that's a problem that should be dealt with (taking advice on how to deal with it since that is the root of all my problems).

Im getting divorced- have two kids with her but I bought a house before getting married does this mean she gets to keep it .

I am step mom to 2 wonderful boys. My husband and I have always had a civil, friendly relationship with the kids mom. 3 weeks ago however everything changed and I really dont know why. The only thing is that this hostility all started the week of our wedding reception. The kids mom has completely taken away our time with the boys and it is killing us. We had them every other week and pay her child support every month. There has not been a court order because they had a civil arrangement outside of court. She also has a new BF who recently called my husband and yelled and cursed at him stating 'they would have a face to face before we see the kids again' since all of this drama we went to friend of the court and recently retained an attorney. We are just lost, confused and depressed this has happened. Any advice or similar situations?

We're both married actually and we work together but there is no relationship obviously because we're both married but he flirts with me and follow me around. He's obsessed with me that's probably how I became obsessed with him as well but I'm holding back so much. I know he's married. I can't stop thinking about him, it's so consuming. I stop interacting with my husband and having sex with him. My husband thinks I'm cheating and wondering why I'm becoming so distant all of the sudden but I'm actually not cheating. I just don't want to do anything with him anymore. I'm crushing on this new guy so bad. I stop living. I can't think straight. I'm stressed out. I want to be with him but can't. I have never felt this way about anyone ever. How do I gain my sanity back?

I live in upstate NY. My county's population drops 2-3 percent every 10 years. We are on track to lose over 5 percent in the 2020 census. To make it worse, our median income is expected to drop by 2 percent. We have the poorest community in the entire USA here. Just Google Kiryas Joel, then you understand. I own a small, non essential service business. I work more hours for less money year after year. We have a high drug addict rate too I want to leave so badly. There is no reason to stY here. From a social-economic standpoint it is stupid. The growth populations are black, hispanic and hassic jew. White, middle class are leaving in large numbers. I can't fix this. She has gotten so nasty and angry I am ready to walk out. There is no things will get better here. They can't. But leaving, with her, thats out of the question. I hate it here and all she does is complain day and night about everything.
