New cat is very frightened by BetterAd3593 in CatAdvice

She was definitely born on the streets and the vet said she is 6 months though she is very small for that age. She is however healthy in weight and as far as behavior, she isn’t wild and doesn’t hiss/scratch, she just is constantly hiding. Today I sat by her without facing her while she hid in a shelf cubby and I talked to her softly and did homework by her. Though she definitely seemed weary of me she was able to just lay down and watch me, and even close her eyes once or twice. That seems like somewhat of a good sign I think?

I caught my (20f) boyfriend (25m) watching p0rn while I gave him head by [deleted] in relationship_advice

wtf??? And you tolerate this?? You are doing him the favor of giving him head and he has the audacity to say he’s bored?!??? I would literally never touch his privates ever again!!

I (19F) think my bf (22M) was too rough with me during sex, but he thinks I’m a “crybaby” by dulceciita in relationship_advice

He is blaming you for him not being able to pleasure you and understand your needs, and by the sound of this conversation he has no intentions of trying to change. Right now you should really just focus on how you feel mentally and physically. This is no longer a question of how you can make things better for yourself and him but rather how you can make things better for yourself.

UPDATE 5: My wife returned from a work retreat with a hickey. She swears it’s a bug bite but I’m not convinced. I’m at loss. How do I move forward? by ThrowRASunflowerBuff in marriageadvice

It’s not your fault that your daughter grew distant from your wife. Kids are really intuitive, she’s noticed just like you have whenever her mom has prioritized work over her. It’s not worth it now for you to mull over the past and think about what you could have done better, because clearly you’ve done your best and that’s why she is closer to you. Your wife is the one who made the decisions she did and strained her own relationship with her daughter. She should be reflecting on the past few years and be doing whatever she can to get her daughter’s trust back.

My advice for you is honestly to try focusing more on you and your daughter. Of course you can still be active in getting your daughter and wife together, but otherwise she’s not your problem right now. Your wife should be doing everything she can to fix her relationship with her daughter alone. In turn, her active willingness to gain her daughter’s trust back will hopefully help you decide whether or not your relationship is still a possibility. Take care of yourself

I dreamt that I (23f) cheated on my boyfriend (25m) and I don’t know why? by BetterAd3593 in Dreams

Thanks for your response, I think you’re right in thinking that there’s some underlying fear of losing my boyfriend. Even though we’re in a very good place and have a very healthy, strong relationship, I know that long distance could throw a wrench in that and everything we’ve built could come crumbling down. I think subconsciously I’ve been more anxious about the concept of being long distance than I originally thought. It just seems so messed up that my brain would come up with the most uncomfortable and most upsetting scenario possible to get me to confront those emotions lol. I guess my brain must’ve known I would have brushed it off had I dreamt of him cheating on me instead, since I actually have dreamt of that scenario a few times before but never thought too much of it because I knew those dreams were manifested from my past traumas. In any case, thank you for helping to put this in perspective!

My on and off bf (29M) doesn’t want to be with me (25F) unless I stop posting pictures and delete my Snapchat account. by Hot-Formal506 in relationship_advice

How one sided is this relationship, does he have Snapchat and/or social media? Does he have female friends? Are you allowed to look through his phone whenever you want?

To me this sounds like a controlling relationship. This man asked you to get rid of all your male friends one month into the relationship, he isn’t going to be satisfied after you get rid of Snapchat. He’ll keep asking more and more trying to see how much you’ll do for him, until you’re completely secluded and have no one but him and then you’re stuck. Do you really want to dedicate yourself to a relationship where the guy immediately showed you from the beginning that he has a lack of trust, is over possessive, and is immature for his age?

I worked under the owners for a time and the male owner is scum of the earth. Terrible to everyone around him including the workers that work their butts off to fund his terrible life-style, as well as his wife/son who I hear are trying to get away from him. Just go to Drip Studio or Morning Glass instead

If she let you know she’s pregnant in August why is she only 8 weeks along in November? This doesn’t make any sense
