It really hurt me because I thought he would want it then he said, You can’t expect me to just go on as if nothing has happened. We did not have it and I know he was tired but I thought he would want...

My mum passed away just 2 months ago and I was very close to her, since then i've had 2 breakdowns and all I wanted to do is just kill myself. 2 weeks ago my wife left because she had her own mental health issues to sort and left me alone to deal with that and my grief. But when going through the breakdowns i've emotionally abused my wife, I know I'm wrong, I said I blame her for my...

Hi. So I’m struggling with breaking up with my boyfriend, we’ve been together a year and half, he’s lovely but I’m not in love with him and there are a few other issues too, I told him last weekend so he knows how I feel. He has been good to me, like when I had to move he helped so much, and I appreciated it. So the guilt of all that and other things, like my autistic teen daughter is fina...

Went to an outdoor pool with my husband. Four women were in there and about 30 years old and some mums and dads with there kids. I saw my husband look in the women’s direction a few times and over my shoulder at them which upset me as he was there to have fun with me. I asked if he knew them and he said he didn’t and said, Your not doing this again are you. He denies he looked at them and ...

Nowadays, I am in difficult situation. My dad has retired from his job 3 months ago. That means our family isn't getting monthly income. Worst thing is that I'm still unemployed at the age of 26.

Well, I'm in a relationship rut and I'm not sure how to go about anything anymore. Me and my boyfriend have been together for over 5 years The problems started early with insecurities from his side along with a porn addiction and hiding things from me. We fought and fought through this. This most hurtful part was him asking for a 3some. He was always bringing it up despite our issues. He...

Hi My parents split up just over 2 months ago which came as a total shock to me, I didn't see it come at all, as far as I knew they were fine. There were no obvious signs no arguments, no distance or issues that could of put strain on there relationship and they've always supported each other through everything. the night before they broke up they were snuggled on the sofa together wa...

I’ve gone through a lot this past 5 years. My youngest daughter had 3 babies starting at 16. She had issues with the baby daddy so had to foster them with my sister. Now I have one grandbaby living with me. I was ready to be an empty nester. In the last 5 years I have stopped hanging out with all of my friends and family. I stay alone at home all day and never leave my house. It’s really takin...

After high school we got together and it's been this way for 6 months, like a said pretty great.Weve been on multiple trips together to see concerts and stayed in hotels for days with one another. We love eachother and he supports me in a lot of mental health related struggles and I try to reciproc...

I have been alone for years now. But I would really like to share a bond with a lady. However I have so much distain and self-loathing I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be with me. I'll see a lady who I really like and all I can think is that it would be terrible for her and I would ruin her life. I find myself caught in these cycles and despiring. I have tried to destroy these elem...

Hi everyone. I could really use some advice. So I have started a new relationship with someone. We have been together for almost a month now, so very early days. He's honestly very amazing. He's attentive, kind, makes me feel special, makes time for me, etc. He's pretty perfect and everything that I have been looking for in a partner but there is just one thing that I can't sto...

I have low-self esteem and slowly it has gotten better. Lately, I just feel like no one likes me. For example, there is a group chat for college and when I ask questions they do not answer them or they dismiss what I have to say. I have been trying to get a job and it feels like they do not like me. I do not know if I am not well presented or if I say or do something that makes them dislike me. If...

I am a biology major in my third year at college. I changed my major last year to biology. Ever since I have been getting really bad grades. I hate doing homework, I don't have the motivation so I failed two classes for the first time. I know I should tell my parents but I am so scared that they are going to cut me off and tell me that I shouldn't be in college. I also think I shouldn�...

Hey everyone, I’m a new member who could use some perspective on a situation that’s bothering me. In January this year I ghosted my two best friends, and I think I regret it but don’t really know how to proceed (I’ll call them Marcus and Angie).This isn’t the first time we’ve stopped talking; back around June of last year we got into a blowout fight when one of our 17 y/o friends go...

I've been hiding away from my room for 4 years, this started around 2020, during the pandemic era, I started becoming a shut-in at sixteen, now 18, I dropped out of high school the moment I became a shut-in, the reason was the constant bullying with my appearance, I hated how I looked, and staying in my room all day during the pandemic has made my appearance even worse, so when I noticed how ...

My husband and I have been married 20 years and have 4 teenagers. He makes a very good living and I stay home and manage the house, kids, and everything in our lives. He works long hours and fields calls, emails, and work problems outside of his hours. He wants to spend the time he’s not at work decompressing by playing golf, sitting alone in his tv room, or hanging out with his nonmarried buddi...

Hi, So I've been in a relationship for 3.5 years. Upa and downs of course. Though for a while now I've been feeling trapped/ stressed, so been doing research and I don't think I am respected and maybe with someone with a narcissistic tendencies. I feel I have been love bombed and then screamed at. My needs have not been met for the last few years, loads of little things that ...

We’ve been together for 1.5 years, he’s great, and I enjoy our time together, unfortunately I don’t think I’m in love with him. But I don’t want to finish with him because I’ll miss him, and I will have no one to talk to at all. I don’t have any friends as such, certainly no one I can confide in. I know it’s selfish, but I don’t know what else to do. I feel we are more like best ...

I am still in school and my grades are going down because of it (I can't participate in class at all) I have only 2 friends. One goes to a different school, the other I don't like anymore. I want good grades so bad and a lot of friends and I just want to have fun. But all of this I can't have and I ...

I experience these symptoms most of the days which occurs sometimes a day. I have this problem since 2.5 years. Symptoms – I feel like I have to manually control my breath which makes me feel really uncomfortable. I fear I may lose control of my breathe and s...

Ok this is really hard to confess too. When i (f) masterbate i think of my step dad. I seem to really get off on it. I’m not attracted to him, he is very old now. But he has been in my life since I was very young, I’m in my 40s now. And no as far as I’m aware he has never touched me in any way so it’s not like trauma making me do this. I must be really messed up in the head i guess. I just...

Hello, This is connected to thread: https://www.peoplesproblems.org/showtopic/12835/i-cheat-on-my-husband which I posted about 3 years back. In short: I was cheating on my husband with a younger man. I was doing it purely for the pleasure of sex. Things back then "fixed" themselves by having my secret lover go abroad for his master's degree. I went back to my husband and altho...

Hi everyone, I really need help with my situationship cause all my friends don’t want me to talk about this anymore. In Sep 2021 I met this guy at the gym and we started hanging out.

He started dating someone els...

Hello, So this past week I thought my Saturday night was going to be peaceful and full-on me replaying Final Fantasy 13, but nope. I got on the shared desktop and saw my husband Discord up. I don't snoop, I had a hovering mom and privacy has always been a big part of my MO, but tonight I did. I wish I hadn't, but it only worsened the things I felt. I felt bile in my throat and my eyes we...

As the title says, I'm just lost and very alone. I can't make friends, I don't have anyone to talk to and noone is willing to give me a chance, even though I try my best. I'm used to drown in despair and sadness, but it's getting to a point that it's not ok anymore, even for me. I just,... I don't know if I'm even worth it. What did I do to deserve this? I...

I felt really appalled by a friends lack of emotionally maturity, her disrespect for people in general, her tantrum throwing when l tried to establish boundaries, unwillingness to view any perspective but her own, her unwanted and dodgy advice 'to never explain, never apologise' and rigid opinions that were decidedly right wing, completely uninformed and bordering on conspiracy theory. ...

Hi everyone, I am new on here. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I am looking for advice to help my husband. I will try to make it as short as possible. My husband and I have been together for 7 years and are very happy together. The thing is he has a lot of childhood trauma. It is one of those situations where his brother was the golden boy and anything my husband ever did was wr...

Hi... I don't know how this works, but I am already at my wits end😔 I have no one to confide in and this is my last resort after thinking for a while. OK! Here goes. I have a friend who makes me feel as if we are dating. She prefers to only be in my room with me, watching movies and cuddle with the doors closed. Its up to the point where my parents think we're dating and they do...

Hi. On September 14, 2023, a lady from a social media app told me that she could help me with clothes sewing. We meet online on September 16, and we meet in person at her house on September 23. I had two bags that contained a box of chocolate for her family and clothes for her daughter. (I wanted to show my gratitude before she even sewed anything for me.) A Cozy Earth Bamboo Creamy...
