I randomly started getting harassing texts yesterday from a voIP number (not sure what that means but thats what police told me). Everytime I block it they just create a new number and keep texting me. This person has somehow gotten photos of me off my phone and is sending them to me. I havent been part of a data breach, and my photos ARE NOT backed up by google or a cloud. I even contacted the police (non-emergency line) and they could not have cared less especially because at the time I called they were just bikini photos. (I dont post photos like that online and these are def more than bikini photos you would post on the internet). The most they told me was the numbers were being generated from a company in Chicago, Illinois. I have to find out who it is for them to do anything. I know 2 people who've had my phone including a person who "fixed" my phone a month ago at a phone repair shop. Is there anyway anyone can find who is harassing me? This person knew my name, and my partners name. This person KNOWS me. Its driving me crazy. Theyre threatening to share my images of me and inferring the have nudes of me if I dont talk to them. Any advice is appreciated, this is humiliating and I'm trying not to feed into this.

The 3 numbers they texted me from is 623-900-9480 602-831-1584 623-264-0445

My (16F) relative’s boyfriend (31M) has groomed me into sex, sexual acts, etc, and has now got my relative (his partner) pregnant.

Nothing else to add. I just need advice.

Hello, i am a (M23) who recently broke up with my (ex) girlfriend (F20) about 3 weeks ago and would like a 2nd opinion if this was the right choice.

So long story short we met in June and it was all so natural. We met whilst she was working at the airport so it was face to face and we instantly clicked. Id never had a connection with someone so quickly before even with previous women. Everything was so perfect, we stayed in contact whilst I was on holiday, she picked me up from the airport when I was back and invited me to stay round. This was partly because I lived 2 hours away from her . Anyway her mum allowed me to stay on the condition I didn’t sleep in her bed which was more than fair enough. On the first night her mum gave me a talk on her boundaries and why she wasn’t happy with her getting into a relationship but was willing to support us and see where it goes. The first night went great and her family seemed cool even her mum despite being quite stern but fair. (Her mother is a 60 year old single woman with 5 daughters the oldest being 40 and the youngest 18 so only my ex and her younger sister left in the house).

Anyway, I left in the morning and came back a few days later where we actually were able to spend quality time together and get to know each other abit better. After the 2nd day her mum made a point about us “running away” from the house and not spending time with their family which we had been doing in the evening. So we spent the whole third day with her family and it all went perfectly and everybody was happy and we all got on. So much so her mother invited me to future family events and offered the place to stay every other weekend so we could progress in our relationship.

However the very next morning when she left for work we, as two adults do, had sex as it was just us in the house and we thought nothing of it. I left to go home as I had work and we both went about our lives happy and infatuated with each other. About 4 days later I get a call from her saying her mum wants to talk to me and she’s screaming at me down the phone saying how dare we betray her trust and have sex with her daughter and now I’m banned from the house for the forseable future until she can build that trust back up. Even though this was quite intrusive I understood and tried to rebuild that trust.

About a week later I went outside of her house to pick her up and her mum came outside and suggested that she moves up to near where I live (A MONTH INTO OUR RELATIONSHIP!!!) and says that if she does move she won’t bother visiting either of us. I said to her “good I’m not asking you to” as I knew she was trying to control and manipulate our situation. She was visibly shocked but got gathered her composure back pretty quickly but didn’t really react. My ex girlfriend told me she had acted exactly like this with her last boyfriend.

Anyway weeks go by and we are booking hotels to see eachother and her mother is constantly shaming her about being “shacked up” in a hotel with me. We had plans for her to come up to see me but it was difficult as her mother would take more than half of her wages as she was “struggling” despite getting paid well from her job and my girlfriend already doing ALL of the house work, paying for their dogs and most of the food shopping. She would give her the responsibility of taking 2 outve the 4 big dogs that they owned along with her if she wanted to see me which was super unreasonable. Anywho weeks turned into months and her mum still refused to speak to me and we were stuck at a standstill by month 3 as i couldnt afford to keep paying so much money each weekend and our in person contact broke down.

With the stress of our relationship and her toxic home life my ex started getting more and more sick bear in mind she had health problems already but now they were getting worse than ever. She had no support or sympathy from her mother or any of her family which only made it worse and gave me a massive responsibility to be there for her. But this strain on me became too stressful as something was wrong every single day . It got to the point I couldn’t be there for her and couldn’t just come down to the hospital at the click of a finger. She started blaming me and telling me I didn’t care.(Which I’m sure is what her mum was feeding her). So we started arguing every few days and each time her mum would be in the background listening or having her input on our arguments and painting me out to be a bad guy. She kept telling us we would never work and that she’s wiped her hands with our relationship and it got to the point she turned her whole family against her for being with me.

Finally her mother agreed (after my girlfriend begged) for me to come round for dinner and talk things out. The evening went well and we had a nice weekend together. I went home and a few days later she was back in hospital. Due to work and lack of money I couldn’t make the visit to her in hospital which then caused a massive stir between us. Her mum again got involved in a huge argument we had and told me I was “looking for a reason to break up with her” and that I was trying to “put all the blame on her and my girlfriend for the relationship not working” also blaming the distance between us which is what caused these problems full well knowing she (the mother) was what made it difficult.

I ended up breaking up with her as I couldn’t handle having her mum so involved with us and being so reliant on hoping her mum would allow me round again for us to have any sort of contact. We tried to make it work for these last few weeks but the damage was already done. I really wanted things to work out with her but I couldn’t see her ever getting outve this mentally and financially abusive home situation. (Her mother is afraid of being alone so is doing everything in her power to keep her tied down). I could sense she didn’t have the fight in her to step away from this toxic situation outve fear of being abandoned by her family and worried of the spiteful punishments from her mother like she had previously done to one of her other sisters. The sad thing is I had started to love her and yes she had her downsides but the positives way outweighed the negatives.

It was a hard decision as she hadn’t necessarily done anything wrong for me to end it but it was just the baggage and drama that came along with her which makes this a whole lot sadder. I really thought she was the one. Did I make the right choice in ending this? Thank you for your time.

I(20F) have to get a christmas present to a guy(31M) but i dont like him, and want that he hates whatever it will be. I want to get something cheap and also that other people dont really notice the intention behind. Please help, wich one is better? What other option do i have?

1. Pair of Socks in a smaller size
2. Horrible perfume
3. Calendar with really old candys

My granny died recently and I’m meant to get some flowers for her funeral. They’ve sorted the ones for her casket, but my mum wants me to pick some for a bouquet. I’m really stumped and I don’t know what to pick, I haven’t really got any idea about flowers, but I want it to be sentimental. My granny was called Mary, she liked carnations, I associate the colour purple(like a light baby purple) with her a lot and was Christian. I want something that incorporates some of these factors into it all but i don’t know what to pick.

Idk if this is the right place to ask but no other subreddits really felt right

Hey everyone! Just wanted some opinions on how I should see women and correct my mindset.

I was doing abs at my gym with my good mate. When I stood up these 2 girls that were quite attractive looked at me and repeated that about 3 times before I decided to ignore it because I don’t wanna be a creep. Realistically I’m just there for myself.

They also did the same to my mate and when they walked out the gym they also looked at us through the window but I’m not really sure if it was at me or my mate or both. When we left they also looked again. I was interested but I’m not sure about asking for girls numbers at or outside the gym and not even sure if they wanted that kind of attention. One of the girls peaked my interest but I did nothing because I just feel like a creep to be completely honest although I feel like I missed a shot? Opinions ladies?

Just for context my mate is around 6.3ft and I’m 5.10. He is leaner than me while I’m more built like a power lifter with definition (loads of muscle mass)

Apologies for any wrong grammar as English isn't my first language.

I've recently joined some online groups where I can make friends with random people, I've met alot of people that even ended up becoming close friends, but there's just this one girl that I'm having a really hard time getting along with.

She's a very sweet girl that I met about a month ago, we're within the same age range and actually have alot in common interests but what I have a problem with is our time difference. She lives in a European country and my time is 7 hours ahead of hers so its very rare that we get to have full conversations, usually I'll get a message from her but I'll only get to respond hours later. I try to talk to her as much as I can but I have a job that takes away most of my time too. I think an even bigger problem is she doesn't see why it's hard for me to keep up, I have friends from other countries and they know that it would be hard to keep up with eachother because of the time difference, work, all other things and are okay with having even just small conversations.

But she just tries to convince me in weird ways, she asks me if I can just stay up late whenever it's my rest day (just to add, i only have 1 day off), she asks me why I can't just message her while I'm at work, I try to make time for her but I reminded her that I can't just sneak onto my phone while at work. She also prefers to voice call alot instead of just texting which I honestly don't like because I'm very shy. I feel like personality wise we just don't get along, she's extroverted and I'm introverted, she has alot of free time and I don't, she is nice but just very very pushy. I just want to find a way to politely tell her that I don't think we are going to work out since she's sent me messages herself telling me it's frustrating to keep up with eachother, but that she doesn't want to stop being friends. I just don't want to stress her out anymore and feel like this is the only way.

This is my very first post, so I apologize in advance if I do not type this in the right way. English is also not my first language, so I apologize for any awkward sentences or spelling mistakes.

I (30f) struggle with over explaining and it's frustrating and annoying. I have often found myself in situations where I start explaining something, I will start to ramble and often add unnecessary information into explanations and stories. Sometimes however when I try to keep it simple - people don't understand what I am saying and I have to re-explain and then the rambling starts. My husband also often makes fun of me or will say something like "That sentence could've been way shorter" due to me over explaining.

I also don't like to bother or inconvenience people so I will - what my supervisor calls "oh so sorry I'm alive" explain - and try to soften the blow. ex: "Good morning, if possible would you please send me report X as soon as you have a chance. The deadline is dd-mm-yyyy and I still have to do a, b and c. Thank you very much."

This also pulls in oversharing. I overshare due to the rambling and make people think I have forgiven them when I haven't because I don't like being rude/ hurting feelings.
I make a point of trying to be a good and kind person, but it feels like this has been the cause of a lot of trouble for me. I once ended up in a disciplinary hearing and my boss accused me of saying things to "trigger a response" when all I was trying to explain to the service provider that the new rule in place is not due to mistrust or a personal attack it was just a new procedure for all persons involved. This procedure was implemented by my supervisor, which I did not question because its not my place. (There were stock differences between what the provider said is in the onsite cupboard and what our system said what should be in the cupboard so supervisor gave me said I should give a list of the product names not the amounts). This got me in a meeting with my boss because said service provider took it personally and wanted to quit (They have been with the company for over 10 years). The whole situation was blamed on me and I was told I "spoke out of the office" and sparked unnecessary drama and could lose my job if I'm not careful.

I later also found out that my supervisor did not say that this whole situation was due to her decision and let all the blame fall on me. We are a small office (3 women) and it was a bit tense for a few days. I had decided that day that I will have to distance myself from my co-workers as everything was to 'friendshippy' and I am setting myself up for trouble... However a few days later I found myself being extra friendly and babbling away about stuff that she doesn't need to know about my life. I don't trust her, but the word vomit doesn't stop. I know that I need to distance myself, but I don't know how to go about it.

TLDR: I keep ending up in trouble/ difficult situations or making no sense due to me over explaining and oversharing . How do I stop?

I had Anthem and paid the las premium for them in June. I Know I called Anthem and told them to cancel. They acknowledged my request without issue. I believe I called the Healthcare Marketplace as well. But later they said I hadn't. As I kept getting bills for Anthem I called them every time to tell them I did not have that policy any longer. At no time did they dissent or tell me it was not acceptable. This went on for 5 months. I called the Marketplace AGAIN in November and have gotten A different answer about every time. One of the last times an very Non customer service type who could use some help with interpersonal experience told me they would request a back date to cancel to July. To my utter shock I would told it was denied. They would not tell me who or why it was denied. I asked to talk to a supervisor that confirmed that the two agents were likely mother and daughter. They also told me a new request to back date could not be submitted and I was going to have to deal with it. Which I find absolutely absurd as the government agency designed to help the public is supporting a huge profit Insurance carrier and not a person form the general public like on a 1,300/month retirement and is facing a divorce and a move 900 miles to my home state when there isn't much left alive there. I got a bill the other say from Anthem for over 1,000 for my premium.. I believe the IRS is about to crawl up my ass for the subsidy reimbursement for what the Feds paid to Anthem. I will be calling the IRS to report fraud shortly. I find it really fu'''ked up that I have to rely on a 3rd party to report my cancellation of that policy. I received numerous notices telling me i was not eligible and be ready to switch etc. In any event my calling them for the chance should have been enough. But it gets better. When I talked to the marketplace that month and a half ago they told me they put in the cancellation. It should have been effective in November. I got another letter form Anthem today telling me that they made an error cancelling my policy and it has been reinstated. I was like WTF.. I called Anthem and talked to someone decent. She told me that Healthcare . gov aske to have it reinstated. WTF WTF

Now I found out that the policy should have been cancelled by them after the first 31 day without a premium payment. It seems nobody can tell me why it wasn't . I have written to the CEO of Anthem and got a reply back who said the CEO asked her to deal with it. Not sure where that stands atm. I will be calling the director of the Medicare/Medicade here shortly as well. I would really like to find a lawyer who deals with this kinds of bullshit and pound it up their behind if possible. Any advice would be great. I know I left a few things out and if I recall them I will amend but I need to get this in. Thanks all.

My friend has completely quit video games and i'm very glad for him. The only problem is that we don't live close by so we have no other way to currently bond. I've noticed that after he quit we've been growing more and more apart, and I was wondering what we could do instead? The reason why he doesn't want to play video games is because he doesn't want to get addicted like before, but i'm trying to convince him that playing a little bit a day is fine. What else can we do online to spend time together?

Hey Reddit, I’m going through something really tough right now, and I’m looking for some advice or maybe just someone to talk to who can offer some perspective. I’m 21 years old and play college soccer in another state, and I recently came home from school to find out my mom randomly left my family after 25 years of marriage to my dad. This came completely out of nowhere, and I’m struggling to understand what happened.

My dad has always been a great partner to my mom. He worked two jobs and woke up as early as 5 a.m. every day to support our family. Both of my parents are immigrants, so they’ve worked really hard their entire lives, sacrificing a lot to give me and my brother a better life. My mom also worked hard, and while they weren’t perfect, I always thought they had a solid relationship.

This year, I was focused on my college soccer season and doing everything I could to work towards my dream of being a professional soccer player. Things were going fine until one day, in the middle of the season, my mom completely stopped replying to my calls and texts. I thought she was just busy or something, but I didn’t realize what was happening until today when I came home. My dad sat me down and told me that my mom had packed her bags and left. He didn’t want to tell me sooner because he didn’t want me to lose focus on my games and stress about it.

Apparently, she’s cut off my dad, me, my brother, and even her entire family back home in our home country. My aunt (mom’s sister) and my grandma are both furious with her for what she’s doing. They’re heartbroken, and I feel like they don’t even know how to handle this situation either.

I also found out that my mom has a thyroid problem, which I know can affect her mood and behavior, but I don’t know if it’s enough to explain this. What’s worse is that she’s been hanging out with a friend who has always hated my dad, and I’m starting to feel like this friend may have had some influence on my mom's decision. This friend has always been jealous of my dad, and now it feels like she might have played a part in splitting our family apart.

I’m just really confused and hurt. I don’t understand why she’d do this after everything my dad has done for her, and it’s so hard for me to come home and find out she’s gone without any warning. I want to try to bring her back, to somehow fix things, but I don’t even know where to begin.

Any advice on how to deal with this and move forward would really help.

Thanks for reading.

It's been incredibly tough these past few months. I quit my job at Lowe's back in May, and since then, finding stable employment has been a real struggle. I was so hopeful when I finally landed a job in late September, but that hope was short-lived. The company had overhired for my position, and I was laid off shortly after starting. It felt like a punch in the gut, especially after being out of work for so long.

I've been job searching for over half a year now, and it's hard not to feel discouraged. Each day that passes without a job offer makes me worry more about my savings running dry. I'm trying everything I can think of to make money, but it's not easy. The uncertainty is overwhelming, and sometimes it feels like I'm stuck in a never-ending cycle of applications and rejections.

Despite all this, I'm trying to stay positive and keep pushing forward. I know that something will come through eventually, but the waiting and the worry are taking a toll. I'm doing my best to stay strong and keep my head up, even when it feels like everything is against me.

I’ve tried so many different methods to make some income, from freelance gigs to selling items online, but nothing seems to stick. It's disheartening to put in so much effort and see so little return. Sometimes, it feels like I'm just spinning my wheels, getting nowhere fast. The stress of it all is really starting to weigh on me, and I can't help but feel anxious about the future.

I've been reflecting a lot on why this might be happening. Maybe it's the job market, or perhaps there are things I need to improve in my applications. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s going wrong, and that uncertainty is really challenging. I’ve even wondered why some businesses don’t want parents to accompany their children for job applications. It’s just one of the many questions that keep swirling around in my head.

Through it all, I’m trying to remind myself that setbacks are just temporary. I have to believe that there’s a silver lining somewhere, and that this difficult period will eventually lead to something better. It’s not easy, but I’m holding onto hope and doing everything I can to stay resilient and focused on finding that next opportunity.

he wanted to sleep without resolving things so fuck him and list me all the sites that can harass him and his number right now.

my close friend did something a couple of months ago that really wasn’t okay. we had a small argument about it and somehow, even without an apology, i moved on from it. i spoke to my other friends about it and they agreed that what she did was not okay and that my reaction wasn’t severe enough.

anyway, i moved on and we remained close but she just did the same thing again, knowing how it affected me last time. i’m a pretty loud person and have no issues getting my point across but i honestly don’t want to argue. so, i have just ignored all of her messages for the past few days.

i don’t want to argue because it seems pointless, she doesn’t see what she’s doing as wrong or how it would affect me. i don’t know where to go from here, do i just keep ignoring her until something snaps? do i move on and just let this slide?

my other friends think i should speak with her and tell her how disrespectful and hurtful she has been but again, she thinks she’s doing nothing wrong and sees me as being “petty” about the situation so i don’t think it would get us anywhere? i don’t know where to go from here.

for context- we spend a LOT of time together and work together so avoiding her long term isn’t an option. we have been very close for 4 years and never had a major argument.

hi i got lovebombed, she was the person who made me forget about my first love for a bit, she was the person i genuinely wanted to try opening up my heart for. but she lovebombed me and it js feels like a repeat of my first relationship trauma. it sucks ik it’s her issue not mine so why is it that im suffering from this

Hi I'm a (M22) and just recently got out of college and living at home. I have 2 older siblings (1 out of state) and another who is local and my parents have been married for 25+ years. One day I was hopping on my father's (M mid 50s) computer to look for an email sent to his email account for some streaming login password conformation thing. When I was scrolling through the email I began to realize this wasn't his normal email that was already up on his computer but a secret email account. Obviously curiosity got the better of me and I started seeing very questionable email correspondence subject titles and what not. later I have straight up seen notification on his phone of dating apps and he's even had it open in front of me a couple of times and not even done or said anything (I just played it off like I didn't see anything). I've even heard him talking to himself one day when I got home early from work and he didn't know I was home talking about meeting up with someone later that week....

Now I have been struggling with this burden for about 6 months and I don't know what to truly do. I know the right answer is to Obviously tell my mother (mid 50s) and I know that would break her heart (I also don't know what she might do she is very emotional and I'm scared ( she not aggressive emotional) and the rest of my immediate family would be torn apprate by this. But the bigger question here is our financial stability. My family is lower income and Obviously my Father brings in half of the money to pay for the bills and other expenses, but currently I don't have a good paying job to pay for these bills (neither do other siblings currently/ other bills they pay). I don't want to leave our neighborhood either because it's fantastic and we have amazing neighbors. And my mother works just down the street from our house. I know downsizing may be an option, but I would want that to be last resort.

I've been thinking just about straight up personally confronting him and telling him "I know what you are doing, and it ends now. If I see you do anything like this again I'm telling mom" if he plays dumb I would then provide said evidence. I know this is not the right answer about giving a cheater a second chance with some one but I feel I'm more or less protecting my mother from heart break and financial turmoil While giving my Father to right his wrongs (if possible) now in the situation I confront him and he's says like " alright see yeah" (paraphrasing) and does just end up leaving because he can't handle the black mail I having knowing I could tell my mother at any second then that is a different conversation.

I'm just so angry with him I want to tell my mother / family but I'm more worried about all the fallout that's gonna happen because of it and I want to try to avoid it if possible. I'm seeking advice because I just don't know what to do based on my/our current situation.....

I’m 25m, and I have an opportunity to go to US for an internship that will last for one year. My parents are happy about it and have given me permission to go. However, my sisters don’t seem to like the idea of me going.

The reason they oppose it is related to my experience in the military. A few years ago, I enrolled in the military and struggled with mental health issues related to isolation. At the time, I didn’t ask my parents for help because I was worried it would shock them. Instead, I turned to my sisters, and they gave me enormous support. Thanks to them, I was able to overcome the isolation and safely complete my military service.

However, my sisters still see me as someone who has mental weakness. I empathize with them, and I understand their concerns to some extent. I also acknowledge that I might still have some challenges in that area.

But, you know, it’s impossible to avoid hardships in life. To grow stronger, we need to confront and overcome them repeatedly.

So, I’m wondering what should I do? How can I persuade my sisters to support my decision? I’d really like to know what you think.

She’s 9 months old and I’m a single mom F/20. I still live with my mom and 2 brothers but they don’t really support me. My mom does occasionally when I’m either super stressed or wanna go out. I don’t have many friends so I don’t go out too often and generally have almost zero social interactions except for with a crying and whining baby. I know how bad it is to yell at a baby but the past few days have been so so bad. I don’t feel connected to her anymore. I feel like our bond is “broken” I don’t really care that much anymore when she cries. I feel horrible for that. I really don’t have the energy to feed or change her anymore. It feels like a heavy weight is off my shoulders when someone changes and feeds her once. Of course I still do but I feel so heavy when I have to get up and do it. I used to take medication for my thyroid but since giving birth the pills are making my mood worse so I stopped taking them. I’ve been to doctors but they keep saying my hormones are fine but they obviously aren’t. I don’t know what to do anymore. I need help.

i dont know if this is the right subreddit for this but I think I really suck at saying goodbye. I was a part of a school exchange program with a different countries students back in may and stayed there at my hosts house for less than 2 weeks. but on the day of the farewell I cried like a baby. I didnt even say goodbye to her because I had barely just stopped myself from crying more and knew if I saw her again id cry. i wrote her a huge ass note too telling her not to forget me and some sappy shit. I think im too much of a crybaby for these programs. there is another school exchange program going on right now, where some students from germany have come to be a part of the exchange for again a few weeks and are leaving in two days. I barely know them, but i miss them already. Ive already made a farewell note for them for them to read out when they reach back to germany since I cant say it myself without crying. Its just well wishes and again telling them not to forget me. I think it would've been better to never meet them than deal with the pain from saying goodbye, which i can never do well. I'm not even hosting them, so when i told my friend that i made a little note for them he told me it was weird and creepy since we weren't that close with them. It might be cringy but i will never see these people again in my lifetime, which is what makes me feel the worst of all. All these amazing people will never be seen again in my entire life. What the hell. Maybe I shouldnt have met them at all then, if it was all in vain for just saying goodbye a couple weeks later. Again, im just a crybaby, but I feel like no one understands my viewpoint. Im not trying to seek attention or get validation from these people. I don't even know what I'm trying to do. Im just a sappy piece of shit. Its even worse that one of the students from germany very obviously has a small crush on me. It makes me feel worse since ill never see them again. Why couldnt we all be in the same school? The same country atleast? I will never be able to meet all the people in the world but i cant stop myself from feeling for them nonetheless. Maybe I am weird for that, but thats how i am. I was told im probably just feeling emo right now and will feel better later, but I know i wont change. I dont understand why nobody understands.

We’re both 18. I met him on a dating site. Hes a virgin too and he’s pretty attractive. But we literally don’t know each other at all. So like, it’s probably gonna be reallyyy awkward. But i kinda want this.

Like i know it’s better to have your first time with someone close to you but. I’m not close to anyone in that way and I want to lose my v card really bad. It doesn’t actually mean anything though, right? Just the hymen that’s gonna break. And I want to lose my v card to someone who’s also a virgin so it doesn’t feel like I’m inferior and stupid so I don’t wanna let this chance slip.

SOS one of my assignments got graded yesterday and I got like a 10% on it which I thought was odd. My professor's student liaison left a comment saying to talk to my professor, which makes me think they think I cheated on my assignment. This teacher has a rlly strict cheating policy and I don't want to get myself in trouble bc this is literally my last week like i took her final yesterday, what should i do? should i just let it slide n pretend i didnt see it?

Am I missing something here? Genuinely asking.

My (16F) mum wants to look through my phone. this morning she asked why I have a password on it and it's giving her anxiety. It doesn't matter what I do, how good I am, when I do my chores on time, go to school early, get good grades, it always feels like im not good enough. I don't understand why she doesn't trust me. I get I did some bad things when I was younger but im not like that anymore.

Note: I'm posting this on behalf of my friend, so not linked to my last post.

Me (21M) and my GF (21F) found out last week that she is pregnant, a huge shock to both of us and not a happy one. After some discussion about what we would want she decided to make an appointment with the GP which takes place on Monday.

We shared opinions on the matter and she said she had so much to consider that she was initially unsure. I gave mine and I owed her the truth to say that I do not want to be a dad right now. I love this woman with all my heart and she has showed me what real love actually is but I don’t have the facilities right now to be a good Dad.

We’ve been medium distance since blind luck on a dating app and I want this woman for the rest of my life. However we aren’t living together right now and don’t have the money to be able to any time soon as I’m at university and she works. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be there if she needs me. Mentally I am also not ready and I can’t have any child of my own with the same trauma issues as me, I want to do my best to raise a happy and healthy kid and I know that now I can’t do that.

I did however tell my girlfriend that whatever she decides to do she will have my full support. I offered to drop out of university to be able to work more hours and try and save as much money as possible for us to try and make sure that we can be okay. I did my best to reassure her that no matter her decision I will do my best.

Ultimately she decided to make an appointment for a consultation as she is still early enough to abort via pill. Timing is awful for us as we have stuff planned in the run up to Christmas that needs to be bailed on as we don’t want people knowing because this decision isn’t theirs to make. Not that it has been made lightly by us either.

Despite knowing this is what I want and what is best how do I stop myself feeling as horrible about the decision that has been made? How do I best manage to help my GF through this too?

So, I recently started a YouTube channel to promote my comic book. my first video (which is animated)

Currently my video reaches 1,000 people a day and gets 100 views a day, which is a lot but I still want more. But don’t just want to buy views I want to buy more exposure to my video

Is there any way to do it?

My daughter recently got engaged is planning her wedding abroad in 2026. She would like all her friends and family to stay in the same hotel which sounds lovely, however I am separated from her father (have been since before she was born) and I don’t feel comfortable staying in the same hotel as him. My daughter is very upset by this. This man is a vile human being, without going into to detail he is just a horrible man in many ways, he is violent, selfish, arrogant and rude - he’s a bully and a thug. He will cause issues for sure. My daughter doesn’t have a great relationship with him and doesn’t particularly want him there but is in a difficult situation where she feels like she can’t tell him that (she’s scared of him basically) I don’t want to put a downer on her wedding plans or upset her in anyway. I would love nothing more than to stay in the same hotel as her so should I put my feelings and anxiety to one side ? My question is am I being unreasonable by saying I don’t want to stay in the same hotel as him? I have explained how I feel to my daughter but she is still upset.

Definitely in search of help on what to do! So I've been dating this girl gowing on five months and her son has autism and is 11! He supposedly hit puberty and is exploring sites online! I never had a dad so everything I know I learned on my own! Anyways she caught him jerking the gherkin, and wants me to talk to him about it! Like what am I supposed to say use Vaseline because it's better than some other lotion! I really don't want to get involved in this at all, in fact i get nauseous even thinking about having a conversation with an 11-year-old about this, but his dad is not in the picture and he definitely needs guidance! I'm all about throwing the baseball around, tossing a football, but this type of thing I do not feel comfortable doing what should I do? And do I not feel comfortable because it's not my child, because I feel like if I had a son I would not feel as uncomfortable if that makes sense? Not that I would want to have this conversation! But I would feel more normal about it! Please help!

I’m looking for cool instagram pages that shares high end luxury fashion drops, and shows new drops or interesting pieces in fashion brands.
