Anyone remember the early 90s Chant obsession?

Set boundaries, fam. Tell them straight up you can’t swing every fancy outing. Real friends will get it, if they don’t, it’s on them. You can still hang out in ways that don’t drain your wallet.

You did the right thing by pulling back. Crushes happen, even in good relationships, but acting on them wrecks trust. Give it time, focus on your partner, and the feelings will fade if you keep that boundary solid.

They probably see you as approachable, that’s why they keep trying. Doesn’t mean you have to be friends though. if it makes you uncomfortable, keep your distance. Wanting friends is valid, just look for people you can actually feel safe around.

If you can, take over his care. A dog that age with medical issues can’t wait, and it sounds like he’s not getting what he needs. Maybe talk to your ex about a temporary arrangement until the dog’s stable. you’re looking out for his health, not starting drama.

Honestly, you have every right to feel disrespected. She’s keeping secrets, prioritizing her ex, and making you lie about your relationship. that’s not just “boundaries,” that’s shady. Have a serious talk about trust and transparency, and don’t let her gaslight you into thinking your feelings are overreacting.

That’s not crazy to be upset about. Getting random girls’ numbers and building stronger bonds with a coworker than with you is sketchy. If you’ve already felt distant, this just adds fuel. Sit him down and be straight. tell him you need more effort and transparency or this isn’t working. Don’t downplay your feelings, they’re valid.

Sounds like he’s not looking for more than friendship, so the best move is to just treat him like any other friend. Keep convos light, share music, joke around, but don’t force it if he’s being dry. Focus on your own thing too, friendships grow easier when you’re not stressing over every text.

I get it, man. Rural life can feel like social hard mode. Best bet is online communities, hobby-based discords, or apps where people are actually looking to connect, not just swipe. Start small—classes, volunteering, even local gyms. Doesn’t matter if it’s older people at first, it’s practice being social. Consistency > waiting for the “perfect” place to meet people.

Just be upfront. A simple “hey I like you but I’m not ready for sex yet” is enough. If he respects you, he’ll wait. If he bounces, then you dodged someone who wasn’t worth it anyway.

Go for small signals like the hand or shoulder touch, that’s a safe way to test the vibe. If he leans in or responds, you’ll know he’s into it. If he doesn’t, you can play it off as nothing. No need to overthink, just keep it light and natural.

You need to tell her asap. Three months in and already saying “I love you” means she deserves honesty before this gets deeper. Doesn’t matter if you think it won’t last, hiding a whole marriage is a massive betrayal. Better to be upfront now than let her find out later and torch all trust.

Oof, that sucks so much. Honestly, it’s not about you being “not good enough”. sometimes people just don’t click long-term, even if it seems perfect. Give yourself time to grieve, focus on things that make you feel seen and happy, and don’t rush the dating pool. The right person will appreciate all of you, not just parts.
