I used to have straight A’s and B’s, but right when i started high school, I lost all motivation to do my homework and classwork. Now I have an overall grade of F’s in two of my classes and C’s in some other classes. I feel stressed out seeing my grades like this, but when I try to do my work I cant focus. 😦 I dont know what to do.

“My boyfriend never wants to spend time with me”
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now. He never wants to spend time with me, but won’t admit it. There’s always an excuse. Every time we eventually make plans for just the two of us, he always invites his friends or ends up saying he’s too tired to do anything or just doesn’t want to go out.
It makes me feel unwanted and sometimes he just doesn’t like the idea of going out, but when it comes to his friends, anything is a good idea, and he doesn’t want me to tag along. I trust him with his friends, but I just don’t understand why spending time with me is a big deal. Even if it is just a quiet night at home with movies he just wants to sleep. I know I haven’t done anything wrong, and there is nothing in his life that is currently stressing him out for him to act differently. I know he still loves me but he just won’t give me the time I deserve to actually keep believing that he does!
“My new baby feels like a huge burden”
I’m having a hard time bonding with my new baby the same way I bonded with my first son. I think it’s because after 5 years of infertility my first son was a fulfillment of so many hopes and dreams. But, since two kids is so much harder than one, my new baby almost feels like this huge burden. I want to love him so much, but I feel like I’m just too busy and tired. What can I do to further bond with him?
“Is it better to lie?”
My ex-boyfriend and I are still talking (not seeing each other), because we both have feelings for each other. Although we were exclusively dating, I never called him my boyfriend, because I wanted him to change first. After 6 months of dating, he went on vacation with his family and started flirting with another girl. They were both posting pics on Instagram and flirting online. He told me she was his cousin for the whole month he was on vacation. He told me the truth when he came back, but he said he never did anything physical with her and he’s in love with me. According to him, he wanted me to see and get jealous. If that’s the case, I don’t understand why he would tell me she is his cousin, but whatever.
I can’t trust him anymore, and I specifically told him I can’t be with him and that we’re just friends. It’s been 2 months. I feel weak and ashamed that I don’t have the strength to let go of him. I know I need to get him to move on too. I kissed another guy 2 days ago to try to forget about him, which only worked temporarily. Continue reading
“My partner and I are bored with our sex life”
My partner and I have both gotten bored with our sex life. We’ve tried different positions, different lubes, even different ways of foreplay. At one point we even put up a porno to watch while we were doing it and that didn’t help.
We need help. We both feel like we need to do something different but we can’t think of anything. Please give me some advice!
“How do I end a friendship?”
I have a friend I don’t want to be friends with any longer. We were good friends in high school, but never particularly close. Since then, we’ve gradually lost contact and went our separate ways. However, he keeps contacting me from time to time, and I honestly cannot hold a conversation with him. Our lives and our interests are simply too different now. Plus he’s like, a super opinionated elitist, so any conversation I try to have with him always ends up with him trying to show off, while I defend my interests from his uninvited critique. I seriously hate talking about tv or games with him. His tastes are awful too.
I don’t want to make up with him or overcome this. I just don’t really want to exchange niceties with him every so often anymore. Occasionally he sends some pretty weird things for a platonic friend as well, like little hearts and stuff. I’ve never been attracted to this pasty fool, and it makes my boyfriend really uncomfortable as well. Continue reading
“My boyfriend won’t let me meet his parents”
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year now. In that time I have let him into every detail of my life, but he has been private about his own. We have quite a big age difference — I’m 19, he’s 29, and that’s fine — but sometimes it feels like I’m the more mature one. He won’t let me meet his parents, he doesn’t let me even hold his phone even when he’s driving, he’s doing up his house to rent it and won’t let me go and even see that.
His dad is in poor health, so he sleeps over at his house every Saturday night, then sneaks out at about 4 am like a teenage girl! I understand his dad is ill but it’s weird — he’s nearly 30 for christ’s sake! I don’t understand what else I can do. I thought meeting the parents etc was a normal part of relationships? This is my first long-term serious relationship and I really don’t know what to do. Continue reading
“My boyfriend and I have terrible luck”
I’m been in this LDR for over half a decade now, but my boyfriend and I seems to have absolutely terrible luck. He’s had to have a number of surgeries over the past years, one to fix a problem, and then the rest to try to fix what was a botched surgery. He’s tried to sue the doctor, but that’s not going very well because he ends up never hearing back.
He’s spent the majority of the last 4 years still trying to heal up, and since he can’t lift anything or even bend down, or even sit for prolonged periods of time, he’s unable to work. I am trying to do my best to support him emotionally as best I can, but I find it difficult as, on top of all of this, both of us suffer from depression and anxiety, and neither of us have proper support systems, as the people in both our environments are rather toxic, and are unwilling to be there for us as we are for them, despite all that’s going on.

“I’m in love with my boyfriend’s best friend”
I have feelings for my boyfriend’s best friend. Yes, it sounds like every cheesy movie ever, but it happened to me. I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years. While we have had our good times, the majority has been miserable. I suffered from depression during the relationship and lost sight of who I was.
Now, I have gotten treatment for my depression and am feeling happier, but I am still unsure about the relationship. I always try to listen to my boyfriend’s wants and needs, while I feel that he does not return the favor. I have discussed this with him many times and only recently have seen results. Unfortunately, I believe he is only making these changes because he fears he will lose me. Continue reading
“One minute he’s flirtatious, the next minute he’s distant”
I am VERY confused. About a month ago, I started college and on my first day I met this boy in one of my courses. Immediately I was attracted to him and after a couple weeks passed and conversations started to flow, I started to gradually develop feelings for him. However, I was scared to ever admit this to him for many reasons. Despite the fact we had only known each other for a short amount of time, he was also always mentioning that since he has started college he has had to “friend-zone” a bunch of girls, as the attention from them was becoming annoying and he was only looking for a friendship. I didn’t want to be added to this list.
After texting him for a while, we decided to meet up for the first time outside of college. He came round mine and we hung out for a few hours. Everything was going fine and we were both more comfortable around each other compared to how we were at college.
However, things soon got very confusing, as at the end of the night we kissed. Usually I don’t kiss someone who I am only friends with, but something felt right and honestly I couldn’t have been happier. Continue reading
