“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

“Guys would like me if they knew the real me”

Ii never had a healthy relationship — not with my parents, who were so toxic to be around, nor with guys. To be honest, many guys are attracted to me, but they wouldn’t if they knew the real me. I deal with depression — like every year, I spend at least 5 months not moving from my room, just crying and with no interest in life.

Plus I always put vodka in everything. It gives me a little interest in life, and I’m NEVER interested in guys who like me. I only like people who are indifferent to me . What’s wrong with me ?

“I want him back so badly”

I dated this guy for 9 months, and he suddenly broke up with me. I was heartbroken and fell back into a deep state of depression that I hadn’t felt since we started dating. I soon “got over him” but haven’t found anyone else, and cant bring myself to put myself out there to find anyone else.

A few weeks ago, he got drunk and told me that ever since we broke up, whenever he goes out he cant stop thinking about me, but when has sober he thinks more logically. He said he regrets the way that he treated me, like not responding to texts or ditching me on the weekends to play his computer games. He says in a perfect world where no one would judge us, we would be dating again because he knows that I miss him and have merely “gotten over him.”

He said he needs time to think about it, though, because he needs to focus on school and his games, but he misses me. I told him I couldn’t wait forever because it hurts and I am just sitting around waiting for him. My best friend is telling me that I need to do what makes me happy, and he is what makes me happy, but I don’t know if it is worth it to sit around waiting for longer, or if I should confront him and tell him what I think and just stay friends. I need help because this is ripping me apart. I want him back so badly.

“I’m dating a really clingy guy”

Hi! I’m 17 years old, and I recently have gotten into a relationship with this really great guy, but he is really clingy/needy, meaning he always asks me to “love him” by telling him why I like him or why I’m dating him. He always brings it up. I mostly text him because I can’t really see him in the day besides at school. He said he loved me and when I didn’t immediately say it back, he panicked, so I quickly said it back.
