My mom is a huge nasty bully to me. Never says sorry and is neglectful beng cruel in several ways not just verbally. I have no other family i can talk to or that i can even easily contact.  I'm an adult so dont say to tell the cops or anything. I'm trying to move out. Of course I am. Who wouldn't? Anyway yeah I'm sick of forcing myself to be strong all the time. I could do it for a short while. Now I'm just seeing I can just become emo again like when I was a teen. I used to cut myself I was so abused. I don't plan to cut myself now I'm just explaining how bad it was for me. Sometimes being emo and goth is a way to express how you really feel inside with your clothes and music. Not about attention or whatever people dismiss you as. I bet a lot of emos and goths are victims of bullying by their family and others.

But usually I can read people. Men can hide their feelings well. Him too apparently? He kept looking in my eyes but I couldnt read him.  WHAT you think?

My ex bf broke up with me because he goes to college an 1hr and 20 minutes away and it was hard for him. he would drive down to see me a lot ( I didn't have a car ) and on our second date we were at a park and he put his arm around me in front of this big group of guys. And any other time we were in public  for my birthday he took me out for froyo and surprised me with chocolate bars, sour patch , and a $20 Starbucks gift card  he always called me perfect and beautiful and told me I was everything he needed before we were exclusive i caught him on tinder before we were exclusive and I made him choose me or we could both see other people and have an open relationship and he chose me afger we broke up he just wanted to be fwb and basically made it all abt sex which hurt. he told me he wanted to hangout and always answers my texts which got my hopes up. I haven't texted in him in a while to allow myself to move on but I just can't seem to get him off my mind lately.  I mean it's not necessarily that I want him back but it would be nice. my roommate met a guy a month ago and they're in the same situation and she dumped him today because it's hard for her which is the same reason I got broken up with.  idk why but this just has me thinking abt my ex a lot. I know I shouldn't think abt it but he still watches my Sc stories and were friends. There's no rule saying you can't get back together. We live in the same hometown. Maybe wrong timing? He'll always be mine nmw what

My boyfriend is a Save a H**. His heart is big but only for women. If he meets a woman needing advice, prayer or just a friend he wants to be the one she turns to. He never does anything like meet up with the women or hang out but he will text them every day, ALL DAY and sometimes even have phone conversations. We have had talks about how it makes me feel due to my own insecurities and ones he has caused. In the beginning when we getting to know one another he was in a relationship and we were "friends" he was giving me advice and was comforting me just like he is doing these women which later turned into visits, then sex all while he was still in a relationship with his ex . He says that his intentions with me were always to date me and he knew he and the relationship he was in at the moment wasn't going to last because they never got to see one another and she hated talking and texting so he felt single vs in our relationship he feels loved, adored and cared for all the he has cheated on every woman from his past he was in a relationship with. I have full access to his phone and know where he is 99% of the time i just don't like how interested he is with having friendships with all of these other women. I no longer express my insecurities because i don't want to run him off so i keep it all in which drives me crazy . How can i deal with this ? He's 37btw

I'm 17m so I still live with my parents. I made a huge mistake and accidentally left a video of myself masturbating on the computer (we all use the same one) I made it for my girlfriend and it was too big to send from my phone so I uploaded it to the computer so I could send her the whole video and I forgot to delete it. I was on the computer earlier and happened to come across it and as soon as I felt it I almost had a panic attack. I opened VLC and according to it's history, the last video to be played was the video I made. But I never watched it on the computer, I didn't need to, I just needed to send it. So someone other than me opened and watched the video, and seeing as how my dad is the only other person who uses the computer extensively, it's almost a guarantee that he's the one who opened the video. I'm sure he didn't know what it was, the filename was the generic automatic filename you get when you record on a phone. I pray he closed it soon after opening it, I don't want to think about the fact that he might have seen me ejaculate at the end. And on top of that, I'm just gonna say it, I'm extremely self conscious about my penis size. It's average in terms of girth but it's just really short, around 2 inch to 2.5 inch while hard. I understand everyone is different, but it definitely makes things a little worse. Any advice? He's been a bit distant and now it makes sense. Do I bring it up? Never speak of it? The worst part is not being 100% sure that he saw it.

Still living with my parents nothing wrong with that but I am planning to move out on my own very soon to start my life probably going to be working forever for the rest of my life but I do want the weekends off including Sundays so I can go to church would work allow that ? I mean is church thats a good thing the reason why I want to go to church is so I wont be so lonely coming home after work playing games doing nothing I actually kinda want to go to church to play piano for the church. Not only to play piano their but get to know everyone their imagine just being home alone doing nothing wouldn't you be bored probably only low life people can do that who knows maybe I can even find my future wife their and I can make friends their bring them over hangout or something but is their any thing els besides church ? I want to do fun  activities like church but not going to church because ik some religions christians will be really strict about how you live your life they probably will hate me if I only play piano for them and dont do other things I want to know where I can make friends have fun and find a wife without anyone judging me. Clubs, Bar, Party, no just a place to be happy and have fun living the life. 

I (24F) have been engaged to my bf (27M) for a couple of years now. I always knew he was a nerd, watching a lot of anime or playing hours of games everyday. I like anime as well, but more low-key. Besides his many pc games, his phone is filled up with at least +15 games, mainly rpg. He always said he needs to "collect" his daily rewards, but kinda hiding his screen or closing the app once I got near him. I didn't really know what exactly he was collecting until a couple of days ago, once I started getting ads of those/similar games on my own phone. They seem to be all about sexual female anime characters - one game even is solely about collecting "waifus", from underaged lolis to huge ****.  I got weirded out and I don't know if I should feel embarrassed or concerned about his hobby or not. I don't care about him playing his games for hours on his pc or phone, but collecting waifus and lolis as a 27 year old? It might just be me but doing that as a 14-18 year old hits different than someone of 27... Should I confront him about it? 

So, my mom filed for divorce in March 2018 and when they went to court in May 2018, they gave the house(which my mom put all her money in) to my dad and the judge said that she would be the one to move out. Ever since the judge gave custody to my dad, me and my siblings and my mom have been suffering for 2 years now. My mom has decided to go back to court to fight for sole custody but how can it be 100% sure that she will be granted sole custody? My dad doesn't hit us but me and my siblings HATE living with him. He throws stuff at us, he calls us filthy animals and dirty, etc. I'm 17, my brothers are 14 and 9 and my sister is 12 and we live in Texas. Me and my siblings are always crying because we want to be with Mom but he won't let us. I'm worried because everyone supports my dad and I don't know why. He does have a lawyer and my mom is looking for one too. I do have videos of him telling us hurtful things and pictures of his alcohol bottles. He gets violent too when he drinks and I told cps that but they said that there's nothing they can do. My mom put a motion for the judge to talk to us but they never called us  in and the final divorce hearing was in January 2019. What can my mom do to be sure that she'll get 100% sole custody so we can finally be happy? Can the judge consider our wishes? 

I'm 15 and I've had a crush on this girl since September, this is a really big crush I have though.  Today we had a workshop and she would look over at me quite a bit.  One of my friends said that she said I had nice hair then she went red.  I'm in most of her lessons and she's really nice and we have a laugh. Does she like me?? What should I do next???

I'm starting to feel like my fwb may be starting to consider himself more of a bf than just an fwb. I'm seeing a lot of "red flags" that go against typical fwb arrangement "rules". Keep in mind I DO plan to talk directly to him about this the next time we talk. I just wanted to ask on here to see what others think. Here's what is making me suspect something might be going on - He is very affectionate with me in all ways - leading up to sex, during sex and after sex. Even if we aren't going to have sex, he's still affectionate. He LOVES to hold me close. If I'm asleep and he is wanting more attention, he'll just gently pull/push me over so I'm laying on him (or with my head on him). He'll wrap his arms tightly around me, hold my hand, play with my fingers, rub my arms, rub my shoulders, rub my back, and snuggle close to me. He also pets me/plays with my hair a lot. If I'm laying on his chest, he'll lay there and hold me tight and pet my hair as he gently strokes my face. It isn't uncommon for him to kiss my forehead while he does this. He also kisses me very often in general, even without sex. When we go to sleep, he'll curl up next to me and kiss the back of my shoulder gently or kiss my cheek/forehead. He will also lay on top of me and put his body over mine to cuddle or lay his head against my shoulder or put his forehead against my forehead. He seems to really panic if he even remotely thinks something is wrong too. So does this sound like he is wanting more than fwb?
