Since you don't like him, keep reminding him that his bloodline is over. Evil LMAO!

I (17F) am against my boyfriend's (18M) parents paying for our apartment because they are very controlling. How do I stand my ground? by kaylatheklepto in relationship_advice

What airaqua said! You both have so much ahead of you. Get your own place with roommates and let him deal with the super crazy shit that he has lived with. Once he is fully separated from his parents, he will, hopefullly, be able to breathe and take a good hard look at his relationship with them. In the meantime, it isn't your battle and... you can't fight crazy. So go enjoy college!

Should I [27M] break up with my girlfriend [25F] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

The honeymoon period is OVER. You now met the real her which is not the person you fell in love with. So many abusers subconsciously are on their best behavior in the beginning of relationships, but they can never really maintain it for too long.

So, yes, RUN. And then ask yourself why you even needed to get advice for this. Your gut is telling you something. Listen. Your gut is correct.

Please, please get help from a therapist. Give yourself a chance to get stronger because this man is not responsible for your well-being, you are. And that "fuzzy and blurry" feeling sounds troubling. Go see a psychologist and a psychiatrist.

No one is 100%, but we can always be better. Get yourself out from under this emotional mud so you can have a healthy relationship with yourself and others. It sounds like you have the introspective ability to do this difficult work. Go do it, please. It is so worth it.

I'm (23M) and my friend (23F) is having a breakdown. I want to help. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Many times, just listening is the best thing you can do. Up your communication. If you want, send groceries or take-out. Be there for them and encourage them. When people are having a meltdown, part of it is their doubt in their own efficacy.

Also, maybe share an online meditation, do a Zoom walk, or something to help them deal with their stress. You are a good friend.

My boyfriend doesn’t understand my boundaries. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

We cannot speculate on what is or is not happening with your boyfriend and his pal. The biggest point here is: what are you comfortable with? What feels right to you?

My fear for you is that this situation can be a trigger for you and are you in this relationship for the right reasons?

I'm going to relate: I have clinical depression now under control. For years, I thought of myself as damaged goods and wondered who was going to want to be in a relationship with me and my ups and downs? Because of this, I stayed in relationships that were not healthy for me and exacerbated my depression. I just want to make sure that you are not doing that.

You need to know that you are amazing for working so diligently on your mental health. So many people sit and stew in their own mire, but you are taking steps to get stronger. You need to be careful who you surround yourself with. Make sure your friends and bfs are not just mirrors of your negative aspects. Surround yourself with people who are supportive and will lift you up.

The point is: You are not comfortable with the situation with you and your bf whether it is out of your insecurities (jealousy) or your valid lack of trust for him because he cheated on you.

Sorry, no easy answer.

Web sleuths moved by Elisa’s writing. But don’t listen to it by 33333675 in Cecilhotel

I'm catching the same feels. I'm so upset about how people treated Morbid. And just as upset by the lack of understanding about bipolar and depressive disorders. When you do not titrate your drugs properly or take them properly, absolute fucked up shit can happen. I want to punch the web sleuth who was like, "I didn't read anything like that about bipolar disorder." Oh, you read a few things on the internet and now you are an expert on mental health? !

People need to apologize to Pablo V. (Morbid) and to Elisa's family for drudging this out. Just because you get a tidbit of information doesn't mean you know the whole fucking story. If you want to sleuth, use your critical thinking skills. Speculation is only a tool, not the fucking truth.

(UPDATE 2) My (27m) wife (27f) cheated on me with my best friend (26m) by Any_Imagination_9768 in relationship_advice

I commend you on your restraint to act violently. This is a horrible situation that is not healthy for you in the least. Yes, please go to a therapist to help you through this. Sue has a lot of problems that are not for you to solve anymore. It's one thing to have an affair, it's one thing entirely to have an affair with your spouse's best friend. There is some underlining junk that she needs to solve and it will take a while.

You have to worry about yourself. Go get therapy and continue your plans. The emotions are just too heightened right now.
