“My friend confessed his love for me”

About two years ago, I met this wonderful girl a few states over. It was incredible. We have the same taste in music, movies, shows, plays, and we work so well with each other. We even started saying we loved each other before we started dating. It took a while, though, quite a few in-person visits, before we actually became a couple. Most of my friends were happy for me, except one. He just seemed neutral about it, which I brushed off as jealousy (since he hadn’t been in a relationship yet) or the fact that he still had some hangups about lgbtqia+ relationships, which I can understand to a point.

“I’ve started seeing my ex-boyfriend’s dad”

I’ve started seeing my ex-boyfriends dad.

Long story short, me and my ex went out in high school. He made bad life choices which inevitably led to me leaving him. He had a hard time with drugs and was a pathological liar. Our paths crossed again now we are in our early 20’s and he had changed. Well, he stopped taking drugs. We tried again and it was good, but I couldn’t bring myself to commit, probably due to the fact he is still full of shit. Continue reading

“I’m worried about my boyfriend’s binge drinking”

I don’t know how to confront my boyfriend about his alcoholism. He binge drinks on the regular, and whenever the negative effects of drinking come back to bite him, he always has some excuse. He’ll say he threw up at a restaurant because he “just ate too much,” when really it was because he’d been throwing back doubles all through dinner; or that he fell on his face on the sidewalk because he was “exhausted from working out the previous day,” when really he’s intoxicated.

He means the world to me, and I’m worried about his health. I’d be devastated if he got himself hurt under the influence while I wasn’t available to look after him. (I work full time.) But I’m not sure how to start the discussion when he remains in denial about the fact that all these mishaps he’s having are because of binge drinking. Help?

“I don’t think my boyfriend is interested anymore”

My boyfriend refuses to spend a night at my place and for me to spend a night at his place. We used to spend a lot of time together and he would always sleep over at my place. When I asked him why he doesn’t want to sleep over, he always makes lame excuses about things he has to do.

We have been spending way less time together and he always says we will, but his actions don’t reflect what he says. He says he is going through a lot and is trying to figure it all out. I think that’s just an excuse. Should I just break up with him because I think he isn’t interested, but doesn’t want to be the one to end it?

“My guy is looking up nude pics of his ex-girlfriend”

Baby daddy and I haven’t been together for a couple of weeks recently. I don’t know what to do, I went through his Google history and I found the weirdest stuff! He was looking up an ex girlfriend he hasn’t seen in 4 years, trying to find NUDES of her. He looked up one of his BEST FRIEND’S current girlfriend and tried finding nudes of her, or if she had a webcam. (She’s not the prettiest girl either).

Plus he was creeping on my best friend I’ve known since I was 14! And he knows her! He looks at porn regularly as well. I also think he has a Paypal account (why else would he go to the website?) I confronted him about the searches and he said, “I don’t know why i do that!  I think it’s because you don’t send me nudes and I like it when my exes sent me nudes. And you never wanna do that.” I told him he should’ve told me, but why MY best friend???? Or his friend’s girlfriend?? Is that some kind of fetish or what? Help me please.

“Do I hurt the first girl and attempt to date the second one?”

Someone who I have been kind of friends with for a while ended up hanging out with me one night. We had sex and since then have been doing the whole ‘friends with benefits’ thing with no title whatsoever. I feel like she likes me a lot more than I like her at the moment.

This has been going on for about a month and last week I met another girl at a school event and we hit it off. We’ve been texting ever since then and I feel that she likes me, because of a lot of flirtation in our messages. I think I like her too, she is very attractive but I’m not sure what to do.

Do I hurt the first girl and attempt to date the second one?  Do I wait until me and the second girl are actually dating before I stop with first one? To make it even more complicated girl two, who I like more, and is more attractive, is only a sophomore in high school, while me and girl one are seniors. I turn 18 very soon but she claims that she already told her parents about me and that they were cool with us going on a date. Please help me.

“I’m ashamed of my mom as she keeps quitting her job”

My mom recently got a new job. She refills vending machines – and I’m really disappointed in her.  She started going to college to be an interior designer, she quit, worked at a restaurant, and quit. She’s working here, and who knows when she gives up next and what other job she will get.

I feel so embarrassed because I KNOW she can do so much better and do the job she loves (interior design,) but she just gave up. I know she’s trying to support the family with bills and stuff, but for the past 12 years my dad alone did it and we were just fine. I’m just really frustrated and ashamed because I know she’s capable of so much more.

“My husband invites his parents when we go out”

Any time I ask my husband to go somewhere or do something we plan it out, but then he “uses the bathroom” and calls his mom and invites her and his dad along. It ends up that I don’t go. I do not want to spend time with them,  I want to spend time with my husband.

We went out to eat on Saturday night and I wanted pozole but he invited his mom and we went somewhere else. It just really bothers me.
