“Am I a secret admirer or creepy stalker?”

1 Comment

I am divorced. I went to my son’s new school (he is 5) and met some of the teachers. There was one that spent an amazing amount of time with him. I was taken by her…she was charming, excellent and patient with him, and very attractive. I left the school knowing nothing could happen but I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

I want to be clear – I have met her only once. I have no delusions of what she is like and I am not falling over myself about her. However, I am, among other things, a musician and she inspired me to write a song. It’s a fan favorite, actually, about meeting someone that you have an instant attraction to, and you have to bypass that attraction. Continue reading →

“I love him but should I move on?”

1 Comment

I have been dating this guy for about 6 months maybe. He’s amazing, sweet, funny, smart, but a little selfish since he was the baby of the family. And he sometimes acts childish beyond how most guys act. And we have been on a “break” for about 4 months now (10 months in total) so I can work on my social anxiety without him having to feel responsible for me. We are basically best friends, we have sex and hang out, but we aren’t “together” technically. We are exclusive as well.  Continue reading →

“Did I cause their break-up?”

1 Comment

I don’t know if it was directly my fault, but I might have just influenced a couple to break up.

So, a little background first. My guy friend, N, and I have been pretty close for about 6 months now. We only met last August, so our friendship got deep pretty fast. He’d been seeing this girl for about 3 months in private, she’s part of our friend group and neither of them wanted to stir up drama. He told me about the relationship a while back and I supported it, even though I kind of like him. Which is why this next part gets a little weird, and lines get blurred.

This past weekend, there was a party at my house for my friends and me, about 24 of us, to drink and have a laugh and fall asleep in a tent (not important to this story but still cool) and N was there. He and I stuck around each other the whole night, I was stressing out and he was just trying to keep me from having a panic attack. At about 2:30 everyone is either in the bed or has gone home (some didn’t want to sleep over) and it’s just me and N in the house. Continue reading →

“I feel guilty for finding other guys attractive”

1 Comment

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years and we’ve been living together for 2 years, so most of our relationship. We have always gotten along really well and never had any problems. He is amazing and I love him with all my heart, but lately I just feel like things have changed.

I am 19 and he is 21. He has been working since he graduated high school, no college, and has a good job where he is successful and makes good money. He works a lot of long hours and lately I feel like I never see him anymore. Continue reading →

“Do I still have feelings for my ex?”

1 Comment

Recently I have just got into a new relationship, it’s 3 months in and I’m already so in love with him, and couldn’t picture my life with anyone else. He treats me perfectly and we haven’t really had any problems yet, but lately I’ve been thinking about my ex and I don’t know why. My ex and I never made it to getting into an actual relationship because there were always things that went wrong, but we were always on and off for about two years. Continue reading →

“I’ve been catfishing my friend”

2 Comments

I was friends with three girls. Let’s call them Cayenne, Cinnamon, and Mint. Cinnamon and I suddenly stopped being friends, so I became friends with Mint, who Cinnamon had problems with. A few months into my friendship with Mint, she told me that she had been catfishing Cinnamon as revenge for bullying her. Cayenne was still friends with all three of us at the time, having to keep her and Mint’s friendship secret from Cinnamon.

Mint eventually got me to join in catfishing Cinnamon. After about six months of catfishing Cinnamon, Mint, Cayenne, and I broke up. Since this had happened, I’ve had the urge to tell Cinnamon who we really are, but I know it would cause an end to Mint and Cayenne’s friendship, and I don’t want it to look like I did it just for them to fight. What should I do?

“My elderly mother spilt gravy on my son’s head”

1 Comment

Tonight at dinner, we had an unfortunate accident. My 5 year old was already at the table eating, while my mother (who is 70) was still trying to get the stuff on the table. She was trying to get my father his gravy, as he was sitting at the other end of the table. Unfortunately, some spilled on my son’s head. Understandably, he freaked out because it was painful, I was in the kitchen at the time getting a drink for him, so I didn’t see what actually happened. My bf, my son’s father, rushed him into the kitchen, freaking out and we rinsed his head with cold water. My bf was immediately saying we were taking him to the hospital. I kept my cool, and told him that it wasn’t that bad, 1st degree if that, it was barely red, no blistering and my son calmed down within minutes.  Continue reading →

“Should I have given him my details?”

1 Comment

I am starting college in a new country in September and unfortunately my boyfriend of over two years will be staying in Ireland. While I was abroad looking for accommodation I bumped into another Irish student who had just finished his first year there.

He asked me to write down my details and he would give me advice on things he wish he knew before starting college. I told my boyfriend and he got extremely jealous. He is making me feel like I did something extremely wrong, yet everyone I have talked to say that he should be supportive and happy that i have made a new contact in this strange new country.

Am I wrong for giving this boy my details or is he wrong for being so jealous over an innocent act?

“Will he ever propose?!”

1 Comment

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 and a half years now (we are 23 years old), we have been living together for a year and do everything together. I have hinted a few times that I am ready to get engaged and he has agreed (even my family has been hinting).

But it feels like it is never going to happen. We get into fights about it all the time. I have expressed to him how I don’t want to be an “old” bride and would love for my aging grandparents to still be around when we tie the knot. He doesn’t seem to be interested and I’m over bringing it up as we just fight.

Do you think he will ever propose or am I just going to be someone’s 40-year-old girlfriend?

“Is my older man bored with me?”

2 Comments

I have been with a man who is 26 years older than me for 6 months but recently, within the last month or so, I feel as if he’s not interested anymore. He claims it is because of stress but I just don’t know what to do anymore.

He does not give me affection anymore and the only time he acts as if we are together is when we are around others. I have anxiety and I don’t want to ruin an otherwise happy relationship because of my anxiety or his stress, I just need to know if this is normal. Has the lust just worn off is he bored with me?
