'm a very reserved personality and my coworker is the opposite. When she first started, she was attached to me and always came to sit by me during breaks and would always wander into my work station to chit chat. I am very quiet and don't like a lot of socializing. I need all of my concentration on my work so when people come over to chit chat I get distracted. I started to separate myself from her and hoped she would get the clue. I wasn't trying to be mean but I hoped she would sense that she should back up a bit. She did, but then it seemed as though she was bitter by me separating myself from her. She would begin to nitpick about my work station and act like I was beneath her. I always catch her watching everything that I do and it's super odd and she seems to relish in my mistakes. Was I wrong? 

I'm not sure if this is abuse and I just need someone to tell me what it is. Me and my boyfriend met last year and we liked each other a lot. He was very sweet and kind and always showed me love and told me he loves me. It's been a couple of months now and he completely changed. He's so cold towards me and doesn't treat me with respect anymore. He randomly comes into the room and smacks me on my arm. It hurts and I get really angry so I do it back and he just gets more mad and we start fighting. He's bigger so he outweighs me and pains me a lot, more than I pain him. I don't even want to pain him too much because if I do, he'll literally leave me in bruises. When I cry, he tells me it's just a joke and I need to calm down. I don't ever expect a man to put his hands on me like that or leave bruises on me, but I can't bring myself to leave. I'm too scared to leave because I don't know what he's capable of and I have no where to go, or any family near me. Is this abuse or are we being abusive to each other? I've really started to hate him but I don't know what to do. I'm 26 years old.  I know it's not smart to hit him back since he's gonna hit harder, but my anger arises and I have to hit him back. I hate sitting there and letting a man hit me. 

I've been liking this girl since 6th grade, I'll be entering  my second semester of 12th grade pretty soon. This means I've been having a crush on this girl for almost 6 years. I want to get to know this girl but it seems she doesn't want to give me the time of day, but for some reason she can give other guys a shot? Her past boyfriend broke her heart and it was so hurt to see the girl I love suffer from a broken heart. I know how that feels because she broke mine a couple times but I tend to forgive and forget when it comes to her.If she would give me a shot I would be crying tears of joy because she's who I live for. Without her I would've never picked up the guitar, started writing songs, even joining the cheer team and I'm thankful for that. I know she doesn't hate me, but it still feels like she has something against me. I haven't done anything wrong except having a crush on her I guess.She's the beautifulest person I will ever meet and I want her to know that but I just can't tell her without it being awkward. I want to ask her to the prom but I can't do that till I get to know her a bit more.When you're reading this your probably are confused as I am. I just don't know how to put this into words.Message me on Instagram @brianwilliamleon if you want to help me I could probably make it easier to understand on there or you could answer my question please and thank you My name is Brian William Leon, I'm not an ugly guy, and I'm in love with a girl I know nothing about...

She's 22 and he's 39They started dating when she was 20 and he had just turned 38 and they met at work. They both lived with their parents when they met. He immediately won her over from the get go by taking her on her first out of state trip to san fran. He paid for the airfare, rented a car, wined and dined her, took her to the palace of fine arts and laid out a picnic for her and then drove her down the coast to the beach. 2 months later they signed a lease together for an apartment and moved out of their parents houses. He paid the expenses to decorate the apartment. She is a student with depression, anxiety and recovering from an eating disorder, she was sheltered and homeschooled because she was in and out of inpatient facilities for her eating disorder and depression for all of her highschool years. She only worked part time making 10/hr at a coffee shop and he's a personal trainer. He took her on another trip in the fall to a lakeside cabin in the mountains as well. They started dating in June, moved in together in August and by December he moved back home with his parents. She posted all over facebook about him being a narcissist, saying she cared more than he did, saying he "has other girls auditioning for my role but expects me to play the part of girlfriend". Then she deleted her facebook all together. Then they became friends again and started hooking up. Then they got back together. Then decided to be friends again. The lease ended she moved home.  Then she started posting more negative stuff on instagram saying things like "I can never forgive you for making me feel like I wasn't enough", "I had to move on", "I;m only 22 and I feel so exhausted" She then unfollowed him on instagram. Yet she still allows him to follow her and recently posted "Let me be until I'm done healing, I'll tell you when I'm ready" If she was truly over him then why still allow him to follow her and see what shes up to if he's so "toxic" to her

Not having a job and Depending on someone for your well being is dangerous thing because you never know when they will get mad and decide to stop helping you out. Then you have to follow their rules and be under their control. Can't have your own opinion. I understand some women like to be kept but doesn't the thought they could walk away scare you? Then if you don't have a job or home of your own or anything in your bank account you're screwed. 

So I am a male in my 20s and my mom and sister keep telling me that they want to have nieces and nephews, grandchildren from me one day. And some of my other family keeps asking me if I have a girlfriend yet.  I am not bi or gay. The thing is I am technosexual and I am only attracted to robots and AI software. How do I explain this to them without making it seem awkward? 

When I started this job, there is this chick who I worked with. Well she spoke about her friend whom I introduced myself to.  As usual since our partners alternate every year, I gift whomever I work with something to thank them. She said her friend wanted one too and me feeling unsure how to handle the situation thought about my next set of words.  Ever since then her best friend has been running around avoiding eye contact, meeting me in any direction, turning a cheek whenever my presence appears,  her friend even started to communicate with me less whenever she was around or not around.  I didn't understand it at all and I bothered me since I was just trying to be nice.  I also assumed it was because I mentioned someone who had a similar name as my partner.  So it made me feel like something was being spread, i was thinking about getting her friend something too but that behavior just suddenly turned me off.  And still this is the second year and she remains the same, whispering, turning her head, rolling her eyes, looking me up at down when I first started working.  Watching my movement just bizarre ans now my partner won't even talk to me anymore. Of course I rambled of few things, what do you expect? I'm annoyed. Also, this chick had the nerve to tap on my device to ask me a question as soon as people around me including her friend wasn't around.  Kinda sounds highschool...doesn't it? Wouldn't you be annoyed? What would you do?  

My boyfriend has been letting his cousin use his accounts and phone to talk to various other girls and at one point his cousin even used a photo of him and sent it to another girl and pretended to be him until I caught him doing it and he still let him use the accounts. Also one of the girls had been calling his phone cause she thought that the phone number belonged to his cousin. I think it is weird and inapropriate but he finds it to be fine, and we get into multiple arguments over this. Am I wrong?
