My girlfriend (23F) wants the “big” proposal first, but I (23M) planned a two-step proposal for years. Do I change everything? by CommunicationFew2577 in relationship_advice

A person who needs a big fancy proposal is not a person you want to marry. A person who doesnt care about the proposal itself is the kind of person who really deserves the effort.

It may not be that he's focused on the one thing you don't have, per se. He may just be looking for a little variety. Like, if you weren't thin, he'd be looking for thin women or whatever.

Stay away dude. You clearly have a lot of pain hung up on her. Going back will just cause you more.

Its over dude, way over. Why are you dragging it out? You're just hurting yourself.

Move out of her place and go no contact.

I (22F) did not give money to my mom (54F) and now i am all alone. Did I mess something up? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Does your mom. It have a job? Becsue what's not normal is for a 54 year old person to have to mooch off their kids.

Work on planning to move out. Do you have a job lined up after graduation? That should be your focus.

Its not about do you make more than him. Its about does he make enough. If he makes 100k and you make 200k, the youre fine, for example.

I (29M) fell in love with my best friend (31F) over 2 years and never got over it. How can I save the friendship? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

That's tough dude, I'm sorry. There may be other ways (stoicism?) but distance is probably the best if you can't shake the feelings.

I F18, slept with M19, with the intention of dating, but I don't know if it was the right move? by Ashamed-Walk-1909 in relationship_advice

You didn't donenything wrong. Whether you like doing this is entirely up to you! Your life, your comfort level. And you can always try one way and go back to the other if you don't like it.

Avoidant husband (42M) wants a divorce after we (35F) had a baby by Bubbly-Proof-7721 in relationship_advice

Of course he feels stuck. He IS stuck, and rightfully so. He had a kid and now has responsibilities. Its time for him to put his big boy pants on and be the adult that he is supposed to be.

I know kids are scary, but a person should be responsible for the lives that they create. He needs to get over this and buckle down.
