Thank you alty. As unhappy as I am, I know he is too. We've both made this relationship what it is and that's why I want to try a little harder. I have a few hard limits in place that am prepared to...

Umm, I feel like he would rather try that than give up right away. I work at a retirement home. All these people have been married for decades and makes me feel like there is so much more I can do...

Any thoughts on separation before full break up?

Oh. That's smart. I'll try to make an appointment this week. I just want to know I've done all I can do before ending it.

That's what I'm hoping to do. I have a hard time communicating with him sometimes. We don't have a similar communication style and I get tongue tied when I get nervous and never seem to make any...

I agree. It's difficult for me to admit to myself that I allowed myself to be tested like this for so long. I have just as many faults, but I think at this point I realize that I want to be a better...

I used to think I was lucky to find the love of my life so early. Now I see that I may have been holding on to our image of happiness that I put on like it was a play.

I'm so confused by how it got to this point. How I Feel like I can still make excuses For him. How it all feels like I'm falling apart when I'm at work or he's not around, and the second I see him I...

Again, thank you everyone for your help. I'll keep you updated as I progress.

I think that's a great idea. Thank you for the information! I'll check it all out.

Not really. I'm pretty private and proud. I thought if there was a way to fix it, there was no need for them to know I was unhappy. My boyfriend would always tell me he thought I wasn't my real self...

It's so hard to think that maybe there's nothing that can fix us. This isn't just a need to jump start our romance. It's so hard to swallow. He's going to apologize, he's going to make me feel like...

Yeah. I have a great family, but I don't know how to tell them that I'm thinking about leaving part of what has become our family. My little brother is my best friend, has been since my friend died,...

I came on this site years ago, when I was having trouble with my friend's death, and here I am again. I have no friends to talk to because I feel like a burden to everyone. You all have been so...

He takes odd jobs with a friend. If he has any money left he buys beer. I buy everything else. He doesn't want to work anywhere that isn't family run. We've always loved the idea that our...

Apartment. I've never thought about it before, but at the moment it feels like he's living in my space. He makes rent, but otherwise I feel like a crutch. I feel so pathetic. I've fallen into the...

Man, I know all of this! It's so frustrating! I've never thought of myself as a weak person, but this is really tough. It's so easy to talk myself out of it the minute I see him. I'm so tired of...

I'm 30. Not sure if I want kids. Don't need marriage. I want a travel partner. I want a simple stable life. I'm also scared that I'll just get myself in this situation again. Find someone new, and...

I'm so scared

This is all true, but why do I feel like I have to defend him? Why do I feel like I owe it to him? Why do I feel like that's what I'm supposed to do? Why do I feel like anything relationship will end...

I think that's another reason I'm scared of breaking up with him. I love him and I'm concerned about what will happen to him. I'm making excuses because I'm holding on to what we are capable of, and...

I've been with my boyfriend for 13 years. He took good care of me for years through my ups and downs (weight and emotions) after I lost a loved one. About three years ago I felt a strong guilt that I...

My reason for this post was simply to get everyone's thought on the subject, I didn't ask looking for a specific answer, nor did I have a specific definition in mind. I wanted to know what it means...

The topic is:

Monogamy

Opinions and thoughts? Is it needed? Is it something society invented? Pros and cons, let me know what you think.

snapdragon

OK, so people are going to hate me! but, what makes you think that the way you are without meds is crazy? Is it because you feel unstable or is it because society says you might be? I think that if...

I have had a headache for almost a week now and at work today I got a bloody nose. I'm wondering what it could be. I always get headaches and stiff joints when a storm is coming, so that's what I...

Thanks everyone for your help! I'm actually in Des Moines now and it's so spread out it's hard to go anywhere, and the public transit is nothing compared to Ames or Iowa City.I miss Iowa city! Your...

I know I'm not posting in the right spot, but I've posted here a couple of times and I feel comfortable talking in here. I need a friend. I have a boyfriend, I have a great family, I just need...

Thank you! And this might be a stupid question but do you have any advice on activities that we could do together.I think we are kind of in a slump over this.

When does an addiction become an addiction? I'm 24 and my boyfriend will be 23, he looks at porn behind my back. I have told him that I would join in so he didn't have to hide it from me but he said...

I understand how you would be worried, but you just might be one of the lucky ones who have no morning sickness or discomfort. I hope all is well.

No, you don't need to see a doctor yet. I know this is bad advice, but I get theses about twice a year, what I do is go to the healthfood store and buy 100% pure cranberry juice. No cocktail, no...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there are any women who have or are going through menopause? My mom just had a hysterctomy and wanted to know if there are any natural hormone supplements that she can...

:D thanks to everybody for your help. My boyfriend and I have come to some extreme measures, but I'm finally snapping out of it. I'm taking the plunge and going to get help. He made it very clear to...

I just wanted to thank everybody for their help. My broyfriend actually has helped me to snap out of it. It took some extreme measures, but, I am now ready to take a big leap. I have left the...

I can't tell you how much you're helping me. I don't talk to her, I actually do the opposite. Which I'm sure is bad. I try to forget about it. I had a dream the other night that I shot her in the...

Thank you. I have actually found that out myself. When I go out into the world I smile and am pleasant. I don't want people to see what's inside. I want people to like me. I just need to get over...

Please talk to me if you'd like. I have no girlfriends and I haven't for about five years. I may not know how to relate to girls anymore, but if you need to talk I'm here.

I am 23. The number one thing that makes me sad and mad is that I have no friends and just can't make any. My best friend committed suicide when we were 18 and I lost another friend because of the...

Hey guys, thanks for all of your help and support. I went to the pool hall last night and it went OK. I didn't have conversations with people, but I laughed with a few people and tried (if that...

I can't tell you happy this makes me! Thank you!! :D

I try to do this sometimes. I make excuses a lot. I always find a way to get out of the thing that I plan for myself. I can always talk myself out of doing something. But, lucky for me, my boyfriend...

Thank you so much, I can't believe how hard it is to be happy sometimes. Sometimes, I just want to talk about it until my mouth dries out. I just want to be heard and cared for. That's what's so...

I really appreciate you guys talking to me, no matter how much I think about it it just doesn't make sense to me. Why am I like this? Why do I do this to myself? Why does everything seem so...

I guess, the longest I've ever stayed in the apartment was three days straight. I go out for the mail, and if my boyfriend drags me out to do something, because he knows what's going on with me. So...

I can't really get myself to go out. I don't have insurance, and I sometimes feel such strong anxiety at the thought of going outside alone. I hate leaving the apartment, I'm scared to and I don't...

I want to stop crying

I don't really know, I do this to myself every once in a while. I feel like everything is a mess, and I am five years old. I want to go crawl into a corner and cry. I'm very pessimistic, closed...

I would really like to talk to soemone right now, I can't stop crying. I'll talk about your kids, or your relationship anything, I just need to talk to somebody I'm not suicidal a am just really sad...

Hey, you could also try exercising I know that every time I start working out, my period delays a day or two and the rest of the time is really light. Just jog for 30 minutes every day or ride a...
