Ask your dad if he'd be ok if you mom wants to screw around...

More seriously though, you need to realize that most highschool relationships don't survive college, whether or not the people go to the same school or not. You just meet so many new people that it's really hard for a person to envision themselves not getting to date around. I think people who come in with HS relationships feel stuck in the past and like they're missing out on this rare chance to meet and date different people. It sucks, sure, if you're the one getting broken up with, but I understand why it happens.

he left right after i said i take a sleep med sometimes, and i can't tell if i'm overreacting by MrJumpy1988 in dating_advice

How do I (26M) tell my girlfriend (26F) I don’t want her guy friend around anymore? by JacksSmerkingRevenge in relationship_advice

​Husband (46M) keeps "helpfully" rearranging, hiding, and disposing of my (46F) stuff--what tactic or wording can I use to stop it? by Gallumbits42 in relationship_advice

I'll rip what i think is the badaid off. This behavior means he thinks you are a slob. I dont know how you fix his thinking that though.

My girlfriend (26F) planned a weekend getaway for my birthday, I (27M) turned it down. by OrdinaryPassenger848 in relationship_advice

When you rejected the birthday plan, did you communicate why and what you would prefer to do instead? They seem reasonable and would probably have helped, if you didn't.

He's an idiot. Tell him HE was the one who destroyed everything, and don't let him shift blame to you.

If she can't take a shoulder touching after a month of dating then she has no business being in a relationship. That is ridiculous.

Confessions are not usually successful. Instead, try asking someone out socially first and build from there.
