Cute message to boyfriend

Have made several posts in the past. I have been into series of relationship and none worked out. was either betrayed,cheated on and beaten up...The longest was about 3yrs with a guy ,he was caring at the beginning of our relationship untill i later discovered that my best friend is sleeping with him for real in which i caught them and all i got from my ex-bf was a dash of slaps and beat from him...I cried and planned not having any relatioonship again untill my grandma adviced me that its not the end of life,so i am giving this a trial and hoping to find someone with cute heart.
I was 5 years old when i lost my mother, and I lost my father on my 20th birthday 💔💔 that’s so sad and very heartbroken .. have never been happy I don’t think have experienced happiness 😪😭
I had a failed suicide attempt early this year, since then I've been trying my best to stay positive. I eat healthily, exercise regularly, sleep 8 hours a day, but I feel like I'm burning out. I don't know how long I can hold on.
used to think I would be happy person without marrying sômeone. I thought I should focus on my career first before trying to find someone... However, loneliness is sabotaging that belief. The older I get, the more lonely I become lol... And when I am lonely, my heart throbs, my body runs out of energy and I will end up lying there feeling empty…. everything seems boring.
When I am alone, I think of the bad memories I had And I become sad. My whole body loses energy so fast ,Most of my friends have a partner . Some just busy with work and everytime I wanna reach out, none is beside... That time, I realize I need someone...yes, this is embarrassing but I need someone to help me feel happy in this life
And now I’m seeking for a caring man , supportive someone capable of taking care of me and spoiling me , someone who can give to support me , someone that would make me feel like a woman. Spend time together, a man who is truthful and trustworthy.. I sell toys for kids that’s what I do to earn a living
About me personally: I pride myself on being very sweet, kind, and caring. I do a lot for the people I love, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I'm very empathetic. I'm also smart, thoughtful, and a deep thinker. I appreciate emotional maturity , want kids, commitment. I'm a hopeless romantic so I'm looking for the real deal, someone who is ready to build a life with me.
If you know you're not ready for a serious relationship, please don't waste my time, because l've had enough hurt my life.
Also, please be sure to attach a photo of yourself if you message me and I’ll send mine too

Let me give some backstory because there were 3 main “events” that led me to eventually ghosting this person. (Please forgive me, this may end up a little lengthy. Also, this wasn’t written as well as the first draft but that one got deleted)
Event #1: In high school, there were 4 of us that were really close. We will call them each, Diana, Julia, and Jack. Julia worshiped Diana. Diana could do no wrong in Julia’s eyes. Diana and Jack were a couple. They dated the majority of high school. All the way up to the summer before our senior year. Obviously, it was hard on the couple, but it was also difficult for ALL of their friends because we were expected to pick a side. Julia took Diana’s side, no questions and no doubts. It felt like I was the only one that wanted to remain neutral because I considered both Diana and Jack really good friends. Not just the typical, Jack was a friend because he was Diana’s boyfriend. Anyways, trying to remain neutral I gave support to both of them, the best I could. Jack confided in me that the reason he broke off the relationship was he had become overwhelmed by the drama Diana created. This made sense to me because Diana CRAVED drama. She created drama All. The. Time. (Looking back, I have no idea how I was friends with either of them. These friendships were just those friendships that some how… became and existed) The break up launched a series of dramatic situations created by Diana that escalated. These situations ended with Diana sleeping with a random guy from our school, 2 maybe 3 weeks after breaking up, and she ended up pregnant. The school year started up and as more kids found out about her pregnancy, the more rumors started going around. The biggest one – Jack was the father. Pregnant teens were absolutely not common in my high school. And Jack was being blamed for the situation Diana was in. Feeling empathy for my friend, I continued to be Jacks friend because most of his other friends were isolating him and giving him the cold shoulder. (To make it completely clear – Jack and I only felt friendship for each other, nothing more.) Julia hated that I was continuing to be Jacks friend. Julia accused me of betraying Diana and yelling at me for even talking to him - Jack: the one that got Diana pregnant. Julia said that she knew I couldn’t be trusted and was a horrible friend. The kicker? Julia and I knew who got Diana pregnant. Diana told us. Julia fed the rumors about Jack being the father, even though she knew the truth! For the sake of keeping the peace and adhering to the “Girl Code” I had to let the friendship with Jack dwindle to an occasional friendly wave in the hallway. A rift between Diana & Julia and myself grew regardless. The way they treated me began to change – talking down to me and keeping me out of conversations. I can guarantee they had conversations behind my back (as teenage girls do.) I can also guarantee Julia was the mastermind because Diana was too busy with the drama/attention of her pregnancy to notice anything or anyone else. I was already dealing with things at home and on top of it, had to maneuver the drama with my so called best friends. Julia doing this hurt so much because friends don’t do that. On top of it, I had a similar situation happen in middle school with a previous group of friends.
Event #2: (my main reason I don’t consider them a friend) Through Jr and Sr High school I had a crush mostly on one guy. There were other little crushes, but he was always the main one. We will call him Mark. Mark and I were actually really good friends. He was in a different friend group than Diana, Jack, and Julia. He and his friend welcomed me into their group when the drama was happening our senior year. Mark actually knew I had a crush on him. He was as kind as possible when he turned me down. Mark said he was committed to his own crush (who turned him down, saying she didn’t want to date in high school) Mark believed she was “the one” and was trying to not date anyone else as a sign of loyalty to her. Realizing Mark wasn’t going to change his mind, I had a hard time pretending and convincing myself I shouldn’t and didn’t have a crush on him. Doing so actually opened a door for Mark and I to become even closer friends. I hung out with him and his two guy friends a lot. Especially after we graduated high school. In fact, the majority of that calendar year, I basically didn’t spend any time with Diana and Julia. At the end of that year, the holiday season, all of the sudden Mark wasn’t hanging out with us as much. Our two friends told me he had a girlfriend. I assumed it was the girl he had a crush on. Especially because our friends said things like “he is picking up his girlfriend from the high school.” (his crush was the year behind us) a few weeks went by and it was almost Christmas. One of my friends was throwing a Christmas party, a bunch of us were invited. While I was hanging out in the front room with others, Mark came in through the front door, his girlfriend behind him. I couldn’t help but look in disbelief. His girlfriend wasn’t his crush, but was none other than Julia. Julia was also in the year behind us and was still going to school. Julia noticed me looking and as Mark turned away from her, she grabbed him, turned him back toward her and kissed him. I was already trying to tell myself it wasn’t a big deal. But then Julia, mid-kiss, looked straight at me. The kiss wasn’t very long but still. Some of you may argue that she was “concerned” about my reaction. But it was her grin and wave afterwards that told me Julia was gloating. Gloating that she was now dating the guy I had a crush on for years. And despite trying to deny it, I still had a crush on him. I left that friend group as well because I knew Julia was going to be there more often, which would inevitably ruin that group for me as well. I didn’t want to deal with the drama and hurt so I cut my losses.
Event #3: (the reminder event) A couple years later, Diana and Julia were married with kids. They had moved out of town, Julia even moved out of state. I got a message from Julia, sent to both Diana and I, asking if we would like to meet for lunch the next week because she (Julia) was coming into town to see family. As best as I could tell, Diana and Julia went their separate ways after we all graduated high school. For the sake of the friendship we once had, I agreed to meet. The day came, we get our food and sit down. They immediately start talking about their husbands and kids. Which is totally understandable, we were there to catch up. Thing is, I was still single – no kids, no husband. So I couldn’t add much to the conversation to relate and there wasn’t much of an opportunity to even ask questions. I finished my lunch while listening to them talk. At this point, 30-45 minutes went by and no one asked me how my life was going beyond the initial “How are you?!” when we first met up and got in line to order our food. Feeling very much like a third wheel, I wanted a chance to talk with my old friends. Finding an opportunity to organically get involved, I did so. I don’t remember what the conversation was about but I do remember I added to the conversation by saying something as simple as “Have you seen that movie yet?” Julia looked me dead in the eyes, said something specifically in response to my question and added “You aren’t even married or have a kid yet, you wouldn’t understand.” Diana laughed a little and added, “Not yet” They then continued to talk about their kids till it was decided we had been there long enough (a total of nearly 2 hrs) Today, I am married and have a kid of my own. I could talk about my kid all day long. But I don’t, because I considered it a basic social skill to be able to talk about other things. Especially to keep others involved in conversation. After this last situation, I was reminded of the way she treated me. So, I committed to keeping both, specifically Julia at a distance. At first Julia would try to convince me to visit her where she lived. Even after getting married. It eventually dwindled down to maybe 1 or 2 messages from her a year. Through all this time I give very minimal responses if Julia Facebook messages me.
I never confronted either of them about everything because I knew it would cause more drama that wasn’t worth dealing with.
So AITA?
Some of you may be looking for the petty. Well, to keep it short, Mark and I started dating 5 years after graduating high school. We have been together for 9 ½ years, married 7 ½ years, and have a beautiful 3yr old girl.
If you guys want an update on his experience dating Julia (he says it was the worse relationship he had) and how Mark and I ended up together, lmk!

I keep receiving rude comments on my posts and seeing people have shared my posts to direct messages of others and its starting to affect my mentality. The worst part is that these accounts are all anonymous but the ones that comment are all the same person. I am sure of it. I just don't know who. They will comment things like "you look like you will cheat on your boyfriend" or "stop posting we're tired" or so forth. I haven't gotten evidence of this behavior yet but I have each and every account that has done this to me in my blocked list. I unfortunately don't think my state has any laws regarding cyberbullying and restraining orders (Idaho) so I am at a loss here. I'll try to open up my comments on my posts to get them say some mean stuff but I don't know what to do.

Hi! I’m looking for one or two roommates to apartment hunt with for a July-August move in (flexible)! I’m relatively flexible on neighborhoods, areas around Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Crown Heights/Bed Stuy, Park Slope etc. preferred. My preferred budget is $1300/person.
About me - I’m a graphic designer working at a Brooklyn-based studio. I have a super sweet and cute little black cat. I love to read, watch weird movies, and spend time outside. I love TV (HBO Girls, fleabag, SATC, to name a few) Love a good night out with friends but I also value time in and am pretty quiet when I’m at home! I’m very clean and love to decorate but tastefully and minimally lol. No pressure to be besties but I’d like to be friends with my roommates!
Message me if you think we might be a good fit :)

Hiya!
20F here and I found out my boyfriend (21M) was a PA a few months ago after months of me suspecting something was wrong. He never really knew he had a problem until researching about it and he says he's currently in recovery. We had some issues (prior to me finding out) which led to me feeling unattractive and I found some stuff he said (years ago, prior to meeting me) about him having a type and his favorite pornstar... None of them look anything like me..... Not a single bit. I confronted him about this and he said it was years ago and that he is attracted to me but I'm having a really hard time believing it. I understand types change and such but I can't help but feel gross about myself.
The intimacy in our relationship (or lack thereof) sucks and I cry myself to sleep almost every night cause I'm so disgusted with myself and fear he doesn't find me attractive. I can't bring myself to even be nice to him at times or fake affection towards him or initiate anything... Ever since I found out I feel like whatever I give to him is just mediocre compared to what i think he actually likes (or used to like, i guess) and it has really messed with my confidence. I can't even bring myself to try anymore cause I'm so scared... And to top it off, I can't stop watching his old favorite pornstar's content and comparing myself to her... I look nothing like her at all and just thinking about it makes me feel sick.
The first few weeks were the hardest though. I will say that recently there have been days where I feel cute and my libido has gone back to normal but the only issue is i tend to have breakdowns after orgasming (idk if this is TMI, sorry) which was a common occurrence prior to me finding out it's just that now they're alot longer and worse lol. I also have days where I just feel plain horrible and worried about what the future may hold but I guess that's inevitable.
I really really love him and he's a great boyfriend. He genuinely puts in effort in every aspect of our relationship. I think it's just an issue of me feeling insecure.. He has never said anything to make me feel less attractive or been mean to me and I don't want to break up with him.
So, will things get any better? If so, how? I just want our relationship to go back to the way it was before and I know reddit won't have the exact answer to how I can fix my relationship but I'd love to hear your stories... I feel really horrible cause whenever I look to check for success stories then check their recent posts/comments, their partner has relapsed or their relationship has gone downhill and it's making me lose all hope..
Also, sorry if this is really long. I have noone to talk to about this and it's the only place where I feel understood regarding this issue.
Have a good day! <3

This story started about a month ago. I was at work and got a text message saying I was being invited to a “Microsoft Teams” group chat. Let’s call the person inviting me Sarah, just for privacy purposes. It says in the chat that I’m named, “Jay.” She says “Hello” to me and is basically speaking to me through this text thread, but I assume on her end she was on Microsoft Teams. The conversation basically goes like this:
Sarah: Hey
Me: You have the wrong person, I’m not Jay.
Sarah: Are you Jack? Sarah (1 minute later): ?????? Sarah (5 minutes later): ????
Me: I am not the person you're looking for! I do not know any of these people.
I then read the automated messages above our chat more thoroughly and realized I could’ve just typed “#exit” to leave the chat instead of senselessly arguing with this girl. So I did lol. Silly ole me. But oh no! It does not end there. I few weeks go by with no word from Sarah. I had forgotten about it all, until I get another message saying I was added to a Microsoft Teams chat by the SAME person.
Sarah: Are you Jay?
By this point, I figured maybe the reason she was so persistent was because of something important. She must’ve been part of a company or school project and was having issues finding the right person. So, I decided to make a Microsoft Teams account and speak to her and thoroughly explain I’m not Jay. Don’t ask me why I did this. I’m overly nice I guess and just wanted to help. And something told me she would try to reach out in other ways if I didn’t respond. (Spoiler alert, I was right.)
I made the account and basically told her I am not Jay. I’ve had the same number and email since I was 10. She has the wrong number. And that I didn’t even have a Microsoft Teams account prior to our convo. I was as nice as I could be cause I didn’t know the situation. I told her to check with Jay on another form of social media so they could get started on whatever she was contacting him for. Turns out, she wasn’t part of a group project or a company at all. Apparently, some guy gave her his number at a mall. (This number turned out to be my number.) And she was reaching out to him for romantic reasons. She was using Microsoft Teams cause she didn’t have a phone. (I’m leaving out specific details to protect her identity.) After that we ended the chat and I figured that was it. WRONG!
I was hanging out with my boyfriend the other day when I get a call from a random number. I answered it and frowned at the question the person asked on the other line. “Hi, is this Jay?” I sighed and replied, “No, this is not Jay. Same girl from before. I would probably give up on that one girlie.”
She said, “Okay.” and hung up. Before I could even block the number, I get a call from the same number again. My boyfriend looked pretty annoyed so he picked up the phone and said, “Hello?” I could hear her on the line, “Hi, is this Jay?” He was not as nice as I was, “No, this is not Jay. Stop contacting this number.” She hung up without another word and I blocked the number. I’m glad he did that, it seems this girl is not giving up and really wants to find Jay. And it seems she wasn’t taking me seriously when I was all nice… Considering she’s tried 4 separate times in the span of a month. And allegedly she’s only met him once. She is persistent I’ll give her that. She probably will use other means to contact me or should I say “Jay”. I’m just gonna block at this point. I tried being nice and that went nowhere lol. Hopefully that’s the end of it. I kinda doubt it though.
Thanks for reading!

My (22 F) boyfriend (22 M) follows and saves pictures of girls on his phone. At first I had a problem with it, but when I brought it up he said I was insecure and immature. So, I started to do the same thing. He didn’t seem to fazed, but had slowest started to keep an eye on me when I was using my phone. Recently I found that he has been saving girls profiles from Facebook, even girls that live near us, who he thinks are hot. Now he never reaches out or friends them or anything but he saves their pictures to his phone. As a result I started posting more risky pictures online. Instagram, Snapchat, threads, Twitter. Wherever I could, I posted. He always told me that he never would have a problem and didn’t see the problem with saving or liking other girls photos as it doesn’t count. But now, suddenly, that I have started to post online and gain attention, that I don’t respond to, he is upset. He says that all the guys that follow or save my pictures are losers and he wants access to my accounts to make sure I don’t respond to any of the guys who message me. AITAH here?

It would be nice to find like-minded people to chat with. Life can feel barren when you feel like you're missing that certain person. It's a lonely feeling, really. Here's hoping that I could remedy that soon!
I'm looking for friends first, but I'm open to something more if we have a mutual understanding. Who knows what the future holds?
Anywho...
A quick bio: I'm tall, slim, have shaggy hair, and have freckles. Will verify that in time. Am quirky, adventurous, calm, patient, and reserved. I also feel like I was born in the wrong era. I'm also a mental health avocate, so I have a lot of understanding towards this. I'd love to do more traveling, too! I know that's something lots of folks enjoy, too!
I like the finer things in life, quirkiness, ridiclously spicy food, being a night owl, witty banter, cuddles, quality film, finishing each other's sentences, shoegaze, sarcasm, caffeine, mint chocolate, cats, clocks, point and clicks, RPGs, Indie music, cats, off beat humor, cats, laughing until the crack of dawn, trippy visuals, cottagecore aesthetics, abstract art, Oh, did I mention cats? (I have three)
I enjoy voice chatting. I want to have some intellectual conversations. We can talk about nearly anything. I'm known to be an empath and to keep an open mind. It's a great trait to have since it isn't all that common these days. Let's discuss it all! I promise that it'll be fun!
My specific age range is 28-37. I feel like I can really connect best with an older crowd. Bonus points if you're alternative and/or cute! Or if you're willing to voice chat! And you're nocturnal like I am, that's also a plus! Or if you play Overwatch!
Not really into hookups or anything like that, either. I'm pretty monogamous. Just throwing that out there. As far as other deal breakers go, I dislike drama, ghosting, uncivilized situations, people with insane egos, awkward small talk, and crude people. Oh, and can't forget liars. I'm sure there are more, but those are some of the first things that came to mind.
If any of this sounds like it piques your interest, feel free to throw in a message! I'll be ignoring the one worded, or half-hearted responses. I'd rather not waste your time or mine on that matter.

I am in a tough spot right now. I moved in to my boyfriend’s apt 3 months ago(I don’t pay rent). I graduated in December and I’m currently looking for a job right now so I can’t afford my own place.
History: I met my bf on a dating app and have been going out with him since June of last year. He said he’s never been in a relationship before and hasn’t been serious with anyone. It started as something casual but he wanted sexual exclusivity from the very beginning. It was great. We went along well and I enjoyed spending time with him. He asked me to be his gf in September and since then I stopped going on dates with other people. I understand that he might be seeing other people before this but nothing romantic or sexual. Since then, things have been going really well between us and I even started considering him to be the one (He said I’m the one for him and asked me if I would meet his parents sometime in the future). We do everything together, my friends like him and I’ve met most of his friends too. Although it did seem a bit soon, we’ve been on vacation(domestic and short) twice and it was great knowing how compatible we are. He is also the most supportive bf, he has been helping me look for a job and he assures me when I’m feeling burnt out with job hunting. His love language is acts of service and he will do anything if it makes me happy. I was in a very secure and happy relationship, or I thought so.
Fast forward to now: I had my doubts from a message he sent his best friend back in October(he showed it to me by mistake) and I decided to snoop around. It was the worst mistake ever. I don’t know how to feel cause it made me feel like everything is a lie. I didn’t go through his messages so I don’t know the details, but I know enough that he had a gf/situationship and he was still going out with her, at least till November. I also know she has blocked him. I brought it up with him (the text he sent his friend) and asked him why he was seeing other people and he straight up lied to my face. Maybe he was nervous and didn’t want to ruin what we have right now but I feel like he was gaslighting me during the whole conversation. He said he was seeing her till October but just for coffee and the whole conversation is just her berating him about his looks/job(private equity) and telling him how many guys she’s seeing at the moment who is better than him. I couldn’t tell him that I know for sure he went to dinner with her several times because of the way I found out. She also visited his apt till November but idk how frequent because we’ve been hanging out almost everyday at that point and I also had some of my stuff at his place. For context, he had told me before he went to Europe for work + vacation by himself last January (before I met him) but I found out that he actually went with her. Right now I want to focus on my job search and don’t want to deal with any of this(possibly leaving him and finding a new place to stay). Idk how to move forward. A part of me feels I should just forget I ever found out anything and continue focusing on my job search. I did consider leaving him but I can’t afford to do that rn because of my priorities. Is something like this forgivable? Also, is it worth bringing this topic up again? I know it’s been a while but it’s bothering me how he lied to me throughout our relationship. I just want him to admit to it.
TLDR: I(29F)recently found out that my bf(29M) has been constantly seeing his ex situationship during the first few months of our relationship. I don’t know to rebuild the trust in our relationship.

Today, I 29f noticed the passenger seat in my car was further back that I keep it. So I mentioned it to my boyfriend 27m "why is the seat so far back"? His excuse was the headrest was blocking the window. I let him use my car for work. I was the last one in that seat lastnight because we had gone out and he likes to drive. I keep the seat far back as is. He had never had a problem with me sitting in it and blocking anything. So that ended in a huge fight. Last week he texted me that he was on his way back to the shop, he works on a military base. I checked his location and he was already off base. So that was a lie. Then a few weeks ago, I noticed he was following some random girl on instagram. I asked about her and he told me he has known her since middle school. Ok cool. Then he goes and deletes her. Thats suspicious to me. We are both from Massachusetts and moved to a new state 7 months ago. I was freshly out of a 2 year abusive relationship and I didnt want to date. I moved back in with my mother at that time. Then this guy slides in my dms. we had a alot in common. But I strictly told him I want nothing to do with relationships. Then I get kicked out of my house because my neighbors made up a bunch of lies about me about parties in the yard and having random guys over which was insane. All I did was work, stay inside or go out with my friends. I never brought anyone home. My bf said I could stay with him. So I did because I had nowhere else to go. He had a friend in nc that said we could come down and stay with him. We figured ok, its cheaper down there and we can get a house. Mind you, all this was happening so fast when I didnt even want to date. I felt thrown into this. Now Im so traumatized from my ex. Im not happy and I dont know what to do. We live in an apartment now and I just want to get back to mass. I keep kicking myself in the ass because I knew better. I should have ignored his messages. I would still be at my job that was decent pay and living my life stress free. I need therapy foreal😂 what would you guys do?

Hi I'm 17 I'm planning on moving out in FIVE DAYS I have already prepped and planned alot to escape my narcissistic family (both my father and his mother whom I live with) I've just grown tired of being the scapegoat and taking the brunt of the mental abuse and mental abuse snd trying to avoid being forced to go back to live with my father because of physical abuse and mental abuse. I've bought a new phone, been taking money off my payroll card and storing it in cash, had a friend buy a bus ticket for me, changed all my passwords and I'm planning to delete all previously used emails and my Apple ID as well so my messages and photos or anything pertaining to me are inaccessible. I'll be moving around quite a bit before I leave the current state I'm in for about a month or so to let the dust settle on the situation before I come back. While away I'll have access to two jobs that won't have to present any form of ID for because they're thru friends family members. I've already obtained my social security card and my birth certificate and any medical records I need. I think I've ironed out almost every bit of my plan, but I'd really love some advice on anything I seem to have left out and also dealing with the guilt about leaving behind my younger siblings. They have almost always treated my younger brothers decently and not in an abusive manner as they have with me. I think I remind them too much of my mother who they all hate and have consistently resented me for it. They don't like me as a person at least the surface level parts of me that I have shown them and nothing more. They're strict bible belt Christian extremists. I could wait until my 18th birthday instead of doing this runaway to move out pipeline but I simply can't take it anymore. They isolate me so much from anyone I know and have practically made me the teen mother of this family where I've been taking care of my brothers because they simply don't want to if I can do it. If I'm not around they take care of them just fine but if I am then the workload is on me. I'm only allowed to go to work and school (but not anymore as I graduate the day before I plan to leave) I'm not allowed to see any of my friends or go anywhere that's more than 30 minutes away, I'm not allowed to speak to my mother in private, I'm hardly allowed to see my boyfriend who they don't like because he's Hispanic (forgot to mention these people are racist af even though my own mother is Puerto Rican) I can't go to live with my mother because we haven't had a very stable relationship and she has a whole new baby to take care of with her new boyfriend and his 4 kids. I just want to get away from them so that I can finally work through my traumas and get back to being the version of myself that I've been forced to shut down just to survive, I can't go another few months being in constant fight or flight because it is destroying me.

I like this girl I work with. She is really funny, cute and beautiful. I get nervous around her, I feel like I cant breathe. We have a-lot of the same interests, hobbies etc. I mean she loves star wars for fucks sake (Im damn near in love with her just for that lol)
I think she flirts with me all the time. But Ive been burned before thinking women flirt with me when really they are just being nice? She play argues with me a-lot in a super flirty way so Idfk.
She always found a way to be close to me or touch me like grabbing my arm, wanting to see how much bigger my hand is compared to hers etc.
Shes been asked out by guys we work with before and shes told me the stories and how much it made her uncomfortable which is giving me some pause on asking her out. Im not trying to be the same way that would suck.
She also asked for my number and socials a few weeks back but barely ever messages me outside of work, and leaves me on delivered a-lot. But while we are at work she sends me hundreds of messages on our IM chat thing we use. We literally message back and forth all day.
Im just not sure if she would potentially be into me or not and I don’t wanna ruin things by asking her because I do genuinely like and look forward to talking to her everyday.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a brother in law who has been emotionally abusive throughout his marriage to my sister. We found this out within the past year when she shared audio recordings of him harassing her, berating her and other family members including myself and my boyfriend. She was going to divorce him but ended up getting back together with him.
He is now threatening to take my boyfriend and I to small claim courts over a book he let my boyfriend borrow last year. The book is worth $30 and he has been sending my boyfriend multiple PayPal and Venmo requests for the amount of money that the book costs with harassing and threatening messages included.
He then tried sending us money which we never accepted with the message “you must mail the book. No excuses will be tolerated. I will be hiring a lawyer to handle this matter further”. He has never tried texting or calling. I tried talking to my sister about it but she said she wants no part in being involved with it and is defending him.
We ended up mailing the book through certified mail but now he is trying to claim he can win a case against us in small claims court for the “interest” he calculated in the time he spent “waiting for the book to be mailed”. I know this is weird. He’s such a nightmare but I just want to know my rights over this. Thanks 😅

(Long distance - 1HR flight) 28F & 29M
So me and this girl of the same age that I met, we have been talking to each other for about 3 months already. Of course butterflies and all the sweet acts & messages led us to liking each other. She first noticed my effort on talking to her and appearing on her video calls. Little by little we had our fun and fell for each other. She knows my background, my family almost everything.
I want to be as transparent as I can, because I want to her to see how serious I am to her, in having a relationship with her. We haven't met each other in person but we get to see each other everyday in video calls.
As a decent man, and since we are apart from each other. I told her I want to meet her in person, the feeling is mutual as she said - "I want to see you too. We'll see each other when the time comes. But for not now."
This got my hopes high up. I knew right then and there that she must have a good reason to not meeting her yet.
Last night, she wanted to talk to me about something. We chatted for a good 30 minutes then things got serious. She had realizations in the past few days. She asked me of my ex, of how we broke and how long we had been together. I answered, the reason that my ex fell out of love and we have problems that we were not able to fix mutually. We were 5 years then before we broke up.
She said, she is dating someone. and they have been together for so long she doesn't want to lose what they have. (did not ask how long) I said I respect her decision and thanked her for being honest with me. It really broke my heart hearing those words from her.
I told her that I respect her decision and thanked her for her honesty.
Now every guy's dilemma - She wants us to be friends. But I doubt this, because everytime we see each other through video, she is way to sweet for a friend to me whenever when I'm around. She wants me to be with her most of the time.
What can you say about this? Is she and her boyfriend on a rocky relationship and keeps me at bay when the time comes?
I know my worth I won't be pushing myself to her. If she completely falls in love or me - I'll demand to end the previous relationship and we'll sort things out, until she is ready for me. Any advice? I really do love this girl. and I'm serious for her. TIA

OKay. I'm gonna get hate for this BUT CAN WORLD SEND ME A CUTE NERD I WANT ATTENTION AND NEED SOME MORE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE!!!
LIKE FUCK I"M EASY. I am so easy to please. literally all you gotta do is text me everyday and hang out with me .IT CAN EVEN BE ON DISCORD. Like bruh. got a game you're playing? great.let me sit on discord voice chat (video preferred) and watch you basically stream it to specifically me. got some code you need to work on? GREAT I"M A GREAT RUBBER DUCK and I have experience in coding so you can send the code and we can see who gets it fixed faster. NEED TO TOUCH GRASSS? GREAT let's go to the farmer's market on Saturday and get some kettle corn. I AM EASY TO PLEASE. I dont' need your money, I don't need gifts. I dont 'need fancy dinners. FUCK TAKE ME TO MC DONALDS!!! I love myself some chicken nuggets from there. and we can share a big thing of fries. Literally just include me in your day and I'll be perfectly happy. Give me a phone call after that one big game you were playing with your friends. or even let me just sit and cheer you all on. text me about the most random shit. I"M SO FUCKING EASY. I'm so easy. we can even do long distance! as long as we texting all day every day I'm fucking satisfied.
I'm at a point in my dating career where I wanna be like "maybe I should just look for open relationships" or at lest offer cause clearly I'm not enough by myself. So like. yeah. I'm only high maintenance cause I need a lot of attention. But like if my boyfriend is an introvert... I'll get it If he needs to take a few hours to recharge. I have a best friend who I recently hung out with and we went to the mall and I completely forgot that they get such and anxiety and oversimualtion from malls. I thought iw as going to be staying til the evening but once I remembered that I was like "aw hell no I aint' staying longer. they need some decompressing and just dropped them off, got my stuff and left. no questions ask. NO retaliation. so yeah.
Idk. I also say specifically a nerd cause apparently I'm into nerds (it took me a long time to accept that but they all do look the same or have teh same aspects). I'm so easy to please. maybe not in bed, But I'm easy to please emotionally.
something I loved bout discord boy was that he would constantly text me and we voice chatted a TON. and like that was satisfying enough. cause it was HIM. I liked him. I wanted him. He was CUTE. Bro needed a camera though cause I missed out on looking at his face. (we only talked on discord and hung out once). When I dug up an old screen shot of his bumble profile, I literally paused, looking at him and got sad cause I remembered then and there how cute I thought he was. Like fuck. FUCK. I swear if that girl he's talking to now isn't giving him what I was missing, then I"M GONNA BE PISSED. cause even though he left me for her, I still want him to be happy. I still miss our voice chats. I still miss the plans we made. We were gonna watch movies together and would talk about how we would do it. and I was so excited. cause it mean I got to spend time with him in person. and I really wanted to spend time in person. so that bitch better be giving him that time in person like she wasn't before he met me. SHE BETTER BE. also better be listening to him talk about the games he's playing. tease him about wanting to marry Andrea instead of the other chick from his game in space. LIKE BE GIVING THAT BOY SOME SHIT. she also better see that hot wheels car collection. cause like I never got to see it.i only heard about it. He had like 200 hot wheels. damn. ALSO BETTER BE GETTING THAT BOY OUTTA THE HOUSE. I got him to ONE farmers market and Kroger. He needs to touch grass.... my dear, he wanted to go out with you so badly. SO GO OUT WITH HIM HE NEEDS TO TOUCH GRASSS!!! even if it's front lawn grass. But like take him to target.take him to Walmart. Also make sure he's not stressed about living with his dad or needing to help his dad a lot. AND OMG tell him he's cute. CAUSE HE IS!!! HE IS. AND GOD DAMNIT USE THE FUCKING SEXY TIME PLAYLIST HE HAS. PLEASE. HE NEEDS TO USE THAT ONE DAY. OMG. AND GOD DAMNIT follow him on Spotify. he has no followers what so ever. And listen to his 200 song playlist all the way through, he'll listen to each and every song with you. DO THAT SHIT. DO IT. I couldn't do it all cause he didn't actually want me but now that he has someone he wants, DO IT. PLEASE.
augh I just realized I might not over be discord boy lol. He was the nerdiest guy I talked to. I wish I had been able to take him out on a date. like a real one. lol. whatever. Sucks to suck.
I'm also fucking annoyed that the guys I'm into I never stand a chance with. praying to god he doesn't find this but there's this a YouTuber I follow and I only really follow with him and his community cause I think he's cute and sweet. but like.... lets hope he doesn't see this cause he's gonna be weirded out if he finds out.
augh. nerds are so underrated when it comes to dating. I think I'm lucky that I'm attracted to them. But also unlucky cause I'm not good looking enough or something. idk. AUGHHHHHHHH Fuck my life. I need to go take my meds.i'm signing off.

My boyfriend of three years left me for a girl 12 years younger than him (his teaching assistant at work), but then throughout the past couple of weeks he had been seeing me and saying that we would try to make it work.
Abruptly, on Monday he messaged me saying that trying to be together was just hurting us both - I received a long message and then he blocked me on every single platform. It feels painful not having been able to say my piece in the situation. I know that he’s back with the new person, and I can’t stop thinking about that.
I made a lot of mistakes in our relationship and I can’t help but ruminate on them, I was willing to do everything to make it better and I had told him as much but the last few times we saw each other I couldn’t help but to be upset and I wish I had been able to be happy and optimistic instead, perhaps that would have persuaded him to stay.
It’s been three days now and I miss him so much, I sent an email to him as I found belongings of his that I want to return to him, but I think that’s the last contact I can possibly have with him.
How do I stay strong through this? I’m really struggling.

Intro: While running through the forest one full moon night, you smelled a particularly delicious-seeming dead rabbit. Never one to waste a good meal, you go for it, but as you’re beginning to chow down, you feel something sharp closing over your leg. It hurts. You don’t know how you’re going to get out of this, but you do know one thing: You’re going to take a piece out of whoever did this to you.
Summary: Speaker finds Listener trapped in the woods, so she finds a way to patch him up.
Go ahead and monetize, it's fine. Word count is about 1700.
If you fill this or plan to fill this, please notify me. Please don't make edits without asking first.
Line breaks represent the listener talking or space where no one talks and should be short pauses, words within {brackets} represent the speaker’s tone or sfx. At ellipses, the speaker trails off, and at dashes, she is either cut off abruptly by the listener or by herself.
Author’s Note: Y’know, I don’t think this is what I envisioned originally, there was going to be a lot more of the “get you to calm down, heal your injuries, make the pain go away” stuff, but I think I like it nonetheless. It certainly feels more realistic now, with the lack of getting in range of a wild animal’s teeth. And who knows? Maybe it has more series potential the way it is. We might even find out, one day.

​
{preoccupied} All right, what’s on the docket for today? Check the rabbit traps, see if I got anything edible, that’s a good start. After that, maybe I can head down to the creek, try to catch some fish. Even if I don’t get any bites, it’ll still be nice to- whoa.
{a little awed} Well, damn. That’s a beautiful sunrise. Been a long time since I’ve seen one like that. Hell, for someone who lives in nature, I don’t spend enough time appreciating it.
{sigh} Yup, lovely. {back to business} All right, that’ll be enough appreciating for now. Time and tide, after all, and scavengers are even less polite than they are.
All right, where did I leave the first one, again? Past the fallen tree, yes, leave the track at the rock that looks like a bear-
{scared gasp} {quieter} Okay. That’s a wolf. That’s a wolf. He sees me, yup, looking right at me. That’s bad. Okay, okay, survival lessons, what do I do… He probably doesn’t want a fight. Make myself larger, make noise.
{loudly} Hey! Hey, you, wolf! Get outta here! Come on, I know you don’t want to be around a human, shoo! Leave!
{to self} {worried} Why isn’t it- Okay, that’s not ideal. He’s not moving, he’s growling at me, I should- what should I do? This seems strange. If it was going to jump me, wouldn’t it have by now?
{trying not to panic} Oh, fuck, what do I do? If I move towards him, will he take it as aggression and attack? But, if I walk away, he could think of me as prey and attack anyway. I suppose it’s a wild animal, there’s no telling what it could actually do, is there? But… wait, does he look… why’s he looking at me like that? He almost seems… scared.
{forced calm} All right, use your brain, {insert name here}. There is a wolf, here, in the place where you set a rabbit trap. Why? Probably because it wants to eat the rabbit, and you’re interrupting a hungry predator. But no, that doesn’t fit so well, he’d be doing… something other than this, I think, if I actually was getting between him and food. Maybe he already finished it, and he’s just chilling? I suppose that’s possible… But then he would’ve left already, right? So there’s probably something keeping him here. Like what? No chance it’s cubs, I’d be dead already. Same with an injured packmate, probably same with a stash of food. So why…
The trap? No, that wouldn’t even make sense. It’s tiny. It’d kill a rabbit, for sure, but a wolf probably couldn’t even get his paw through the little loop, much less get caught by it. But maybe…
Hey, hey, stay calm, buddy. I’m not threatening you, I’m not even gonna get in your blind spot, just want to walk over to the side… Yup, that’s it, you can keep your eyes right on me, see? I’m not a threat. Just want to look at- {gasp}
{shocked} What? Where did- How!
{forced calm} Okay, okay, the how isn’t that important. The wolf has his leg caught in a trap. Bloody hell, that looks nasty. That explains the immobility, and the growling. Poor guy is probably scared out of his mind right now, with that thing through his leg. {upset} I can’t believe you can still even get your hands on spike traps like that! I mean, come on, isn’t that inhumane?
{forced calm} Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. How do I help him? I could… call the forestry service? But cell service is so horrible out here… I could drive into town and call them? Oh, but what if they said they can’t help? Or what if they’re too late, and he’s already chewed his paw off by the time they get here? Wait, do wolves do that? I think I read somewhere that they do that. I shouldn’t let him do that. Okay, can’t get anyone else to come help, I could try to get the trap off it myself? That’s… that’s a really not-good idea, isn’t it? Yeah, he’s a wild animal. Probably doesn’t like humans so much in the first place, and now he’s scared and in pain… He’d probably maim me before I even had the chance to help, no dice. But I have to do something…
{upset} Ugh! Come on, {insert name here}, think! There has to be something you can do. Something you can… {gasp}
{excited} That’ll work! Okay, wait- right there, Mr. Wolf, stay- do not chew your paw off while I’m gone, I promise I’m going to make the pain stop.
{running footsteps sfx} {fading away} {chuckle} Heh, I’m talking to the wolf like he understands me. Ridiculous. Oh, but I hope he gets the message…
{some indicator of a time skip}
{running footsteps} {out of breath} I’m back! I’m… back. I made it. You’re still here, right? Oh, oh good. Please tell me you didn’t injure your paw any further.
{confused} Wait… you’re not growling at me anymore. Huh? That doesn’t make much sense. I- eh, can’t worry about it right now. {coaxing} I brought you some food, buddy! It’ll be nice and tasty, and it’ll help you go off to sleep so I can get that thing off your leg. Doesn’t that sound good? Don’t you want to feel better?
{considering} Uhhh… how to give it to you… All right, I can push the tupperware into your reach with a stick, that’ll work just fine, yeah? Yeah, nothing wrong with that.
{scraping sfx}
{coaxing} All right, Mr. Wolf, don’t you want to eat the bacon? I promise it’ll taste good!
{perplexed} Was that… a sigh? Did you just sigh at- oh, well, you’re eating. Good enough for me.
{pleased} Wow, you polished that whole thing off. Okay, the pills should be kicking in soon. I think they’ll work as well on you as they would a human? We’re both mammals, our chemistry shouldn’t be too different. God, I hope that’s how it works.
{fading out} Yup, there we go. That’s it, buddy, just go to sleep… You’ll feel much better when you wake up, just let it all drift away… I’ve got you.
Okay. Damn, that leg looks even worse up close. I don’t think I can patch it up here. I might need to…
{some indicator of a time skip}
{fade in} -right, I think that oughta do it. All patched up, the gauze should hold decently well. As long as he doesn’t go stepping on any more traps, he should be able to use the leg as much as he needs. Oh! That reminds me. I need to find out who set that trap, maybe there’s some kind of-
{small voice} Your eyes are open. How long have your eyes been open?
{terrified} I- uh- wait, fuck, no- this isn’t what was supposed to- uh- okay, down, down, stay back, please don’t kill me- I’ll give you more bacon if you don’t kill me please-
I… I’m not dead?
{scared gasp}
I keep opening my eyes… and he keeps being there. Just tell me, am I gonna die or not?
{disbelief} What, you’re a communicative wolf, now? What’s that whine supposed to mean?
{plaintive} Oh my God, I’m losing it. I’m cracking up under the stress. I’m actually trying to talk with the vicious wild animal.
…Well, in for a penny. What is it that you want, Mr. Wolf? Is there some reason you haven’t killed me yet? I doubt it’s gratitude.
{perplexed} Wha- The refrigerator? You’re pawing at- {shell shocked} Oh my God. It’s the bacon. He wants more bacon. Well. I guess I did say I’d give him some, and I’m not dead. All right then, Mr. Wolf, if you’d like to move out of the way so I can reach the fridge…
Thank you.
This is the most surreal bloody thing I have ever encountered, I hope you know. How in the hell do you understand me?
{door opening and closing sfx}
Yeah, I didn’t really expect an answer. Well, uh, here’s your bacon. Please don’t bite my hand.
{scraping sfx}
{nervous} Are we… are we cool? I patched up your leg and gave you some food, and you don’t turn me into food? Sound reasonable?
…In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I’m going to take that as an affirmative.
{fond} Aww, that was a cute little- {nervous} okay, okay. Not calling you cute. Message received.
Uh- whoa, wait, what are you doing? What are you sniffing around for? I don’t have any more bacon-
The… trap? Why do you care about…
That is the strongest “mind your business” stare I have ever gotten from anything, human or animal. Understood, business minding.
Sniffing… OH! You’re going to- nope, never mind, I’m not involved, you do you, Mr. Wolf.
{annoyed} Y’know, just because you could kill me, doesn’t mean you have call to be rude. I did save your leg, after all.
{taken aback} Is that… your version of an apology?
I- Apology accepted. Or, wait. {mischievous} I can’t go through my life knowing I could’ve said this, but didn’t. I’ll accept your apology, on one condition. I get to scritch your ears.
Don’t look at me like that, you’re fluffy. I want to scritch. I- is that okay?
{gasp} All right, I’m going to risk it.
{scritching sfx}
{in awe} I’m… I’m petting a wolf. I did not expect this… ever.
You really are fluffy, this is nice. And it looks like you’re enjoying it, too-
Oop, okay. I guess we’re done.
All right, yup, I shall open the door. You shall exit the door, and continue to do whatever wolves do. Don’t step in any more traps, okay? I don’t want to have to risk getting mauled again.
{door opens and closes sfx}
{muffled} {exhale} {stunned} Oh my God. Did that really just happen? There’s no way that just happened. The wolf understood me. That’s not how wolves work! Wild animals don’t just speak English. Was he… was he somehow sentient? Does that mean that there are other creatures out there that can think like that? God, that just makes the fact that that spike trap exists even worse. I… I really can’t even process this. How does one begin to process this? I gave a wolf headpats. This is not a normal experience.
I… don’t think I’m going fishing today. Maybe I’ll just have a nice little lie-down, instead, and when I wake up it’ll have been a weird dream. Yeah. That’d work.
…I wonder if I’ll ever see him again?

Sniffing… OH! You’re going to- nope, never mind, I’m not involved, you do you, Mr. Wolf.
{annoyed} Y’know, just because you could kill me, doesn’t mean you have call to be rude. I did save your leg, after all.
{taken aback} Is that… your version of an apology?
I- Apology accepted. Or, wait. {mischievous} I can’t go through my life knowing I could’ve said this, but didn’t. I’ll accept your apology, on one condition. I get to scritch your ears.
Don’t look at me like that, you’re fluffy. I want to scritch. I- is that okay?
{gasp} All right, I’m going to risk it.
{scritching sfx}
{in awe} I’m… I’m petting a wolf. I did not expect this… ever.
You really are fluffy, this is nice. And it looks like you’re enjoying it, too-
Oop, okay. I guess we’re done.
All right, yup, I shall open the door. You shall exit the door, and continue to do whatever wolves do. Don’t step in any more traps, okay? I don’t want to have to risk getting mauled again.
{door opens and closes sfx}
{muffled} {exhale} {stunned} Oh my God. Did that really just happen? There’s no way that just happened. The wolf understood me. That’s not how wolves work! Wild animals don’t just speak English. Was he… was he somehow sentient? Does that mean that there are other creatures out there that can think like that? God, that just makes the fact that that spike trap exists even worse. I… I really can’t even process this. How does one begin to process this? I gave a wolf headpats. This is not a normal experience.
I… don’t think I’m going fishing today. Maybe I’ll just have a nice little lie-down, instead, and when I wake up it’ll have been a weird dream. Yeah. That’d work.
…I wonder if I’ll ever see him again?

Hi!
First of all, I believe that I might fall into the category of being a green flag and why? I'll explain in this post.
If you like reading well detailed posts in which the person has put some serious effort, this is gonna be one of them.
I'm gonna make this post by putting my heart into this totally and hopefully, it will reach the right person out there :) all of the things I've said in this post is absolutely true about me. If you've seen this post before, just know that I haven't found anyone and I'm still looking ♡
So a little description about me first:
I am a guy who's usually very loving in many matters of life. I'm easy going, respectful and have manners. I'm helpful to people that I love and that are nice to me. I'm patient when it comes to a lot of things because I believe in the saying that "good things come to those who wait"
I also have no friends, I just can't spend my time putting efforts in people that does nothing but create fake friendships and who won't be by your side as a loyal friend, they'll just be there when it's for their own good. So I just wanna invest my time into finding my future partner and building a strong relationship.
I still don't believe I'm perfect and I'm constantly working on myself to improve my overall standing as a person because since I don't have an ego, I'm always keen onto making myself a better person and don't have any problem in listening to my flaws through people that are important to me.
What I'm looking for:
I believe that relationships are not just something that you can make, break and move on to another. I don't understand the people that does that. For me, I'm only interested in something meaningful and long term but I also don't wanna be anyone's rebound or get played with. I don't break hearts and don't want anyone to do that to me either.
A relationship is a very beautiful thing which happens very naturally when two souls meet and get fond of each other. It's truly a magical feeling when you know you finally have someone to by your side, you're not alone in this lonely world anymore. I LIVE for that feeling 🫶🏽
Now you must be wondering if I have any hobbies? I do have some of them.
First of all, I'm a guitarist and do it well (at least I think so) and I love sports (especially basketball which is my favorite) I love watching movies (rom-com and horror is my genre)
Also a quick question. Do you like someone with a soothing, partially whispered, deep and asmr kinda voice that whenever you hear it, you feel like I'm talking straight to your soul? If you do, you'll love calling me or listening to my voice mails for sure.
Plus as a boyfriend, I am extremely caring and someone who'd bring you chocolates and your favorite stuff during your periods or when you're feeling down, I'll find happiness in doing that honestly. That's just me!
I do have a passion for cooking as well. So, I might as well try to cook you some delicious dishes and perhaps, get your feedback on it. I'm sure it'll put a smile on your face, exactly how I'd like it <3
I'm not yet perfect at cooking but we can get better at it together, of course! Having you by my side will increase my motivation and we might as well vibe ✨️
Age also doesn't matter to me, as long as you're looking for the same as me and you know we'll get along well.
By the way, I don't give a crap about sexual stuff and have never sent dick pictures to anyone before, so you can be rest assured I'm not one of those people.
I guess that's it for now, if this interests you even a little bit, you can message me and see where it takes us 😊 I'm literally just a message away!
Don't be hesitant in anything, I don't like being creepy or will force you to do anything you don't wanna do. I'd suggest you give me a try ❤️🤞🏽🧿
See ya!

I (30) have been in a relationship with let's call him "Gio" (31) for more than 3 years. Super non-chalant boyfriend. Tipong nagsumbong ako sknya that someone was sexually harassing me sa office - at gusto ko mag file ng case both HR and Legally he said "GAGAWA KA LANG NG GULO".
He's a guy who avoids conflicts. So sbe ko - alam mo kung isa mga ex ( 3 exes) ko yan binugbog na yung guy. But I let it pass.
He sees me as a very independent woman na kahit gawaing lalaki even when he see me strugling, he'd let me do it (he'll even watch me struggle)
I love him, kasi kahit nonchalant sya, he's faithful, mabait naman and tries to adjust to what I say. Ofcourse di naman agad agad he can change dba?
Pero this one time napuno ako.
My ex before him lets name him Eloy. An ex for 4 years. Was an extreme "baby reindeer type of stalker"
After years na naging kme ni Gio, Eloy started sending msgs, and I keep on blocking them. Fb, texts, ig, tiktok. But he then creates new accounts to reach me. I kept Gio updated - and has been begging him to help me find a way to stop this guy like legally or sa police ganon.
I reached a point na I had to deactivate my socials, even when need ko sya for my business and income. Changed mobile numbers. (Luckily di nya alam house ko kasi I mobed out of our family house)
Eloy started to message my family, friends colleagues. Asking them to tell me to meet him to talk to him. Trying to get me back.
I asked gio, if he could reach out to his lawyer friend and police cousin to help me out. But he said, "gulo lang yan mapapagod din yan"
So what i did? I again moved out without him knowing. Blocked him and changed my mobile number again. I decided to start a new life without him. There's no way he can reach me but through my friends and family who for sure will all be on my side.
ABYG? Iniwan ko sya without talking about it. Guilty ako na I left without closure. Pero napuno na kasi ako

I’ve met up with this guy once and he was heavy on being a one time thing. I was horny so I agreed.
It was all fine and we went 3 hours (with foreplay rest). After we finished, I cleaned us up and was getting my stuff when he was like, “I was thinking about it… are you open to NSA? Ik I said one time but it was too good for a one time.” I’m a contractual person so I declined and told him to ask me another time.
A week later he hmu and asked about the NSA and I agreed because I enjoyed the last time… We fucked 5 more times (at that time) and each time I’ve noticed he’s been more affectionate and asking me to stay the night. He’s really cute so I caved and stayed the night. It’s gotten into a routine of every time we hooked up, I’m staying the night. One night while cuddling… he suddenly reminded me not to catch feelings bc it’s NSA.
Last night he begged me to come over, I wasn’t in the mood and was honest… he said he really just wanted human interaction and said we can do whatever I wanted. I agreed and we almost got close to sex but I was really not in the mood. He was really affectionate and even got a bit upset because a week ago I hooked up with some other guy instead of waiting for him… He politely asked me to delete Grindr because I have him and I shouldn’t be hooking up because he’ll never deny me sex.
My issue is that he’s being boyfriend ish, like expecting me to call/text him at a least once a day, he claims he deleted Grindr and wants me to as well and he begs me to stay the night. Once again I’m contractual guy so I reminded him of what we agreed on and he tells me I’m overthinking it.

Me and this girl had been dating around 2 months, we weren't official but had discussed that we would consider seeing anyone else cheating at this point. She had told me how much she loves me though poems and long paragraphs and I had said I love you back at this point.
We both happened to go on a night out drinking on the same night she was worried about 2 girls that were part of the friendship group who are no problem at all and both have boyfriends (I had told her they were coming and didn't speak to them to keep her peace of mind) her friend group bumped into ours and made a scene about the girls and she was very stressed and I tried my best to calm her down. We then offered her to stay with us or go with her fake friends who had spread rumors about the girls to stress her out.
I dont see her again and as I'm going home I get a call from her crying saying I love you. Immediately I knew something was up. I texted her after that call I feel like something has happened I would much rather you tell the truth than lie. I said have you not kissed someone or something and she lied saying why would I kiss someone what made you think that.
So the next morning she was off and I knew it so I told her I know she's hiding something and after some pressure from me she admitted she had been kissed by another guy, she was very drunk the last time I saw her, she claimed she pulled away at this point and didn't kiss him back,. I message the boy who kissed her he messages me mockingly saying my girls tounge was down his throat he said they kissed twice and it was about 10 seconds this boy is known to like winding people up but he also said it seemed like a mix of emotions, and that she really does love me. She was apparently upset because I didn't pick up one of her calls whilst I was dancing at karaoke.
Before I had messaged this boy she had messaged him saying please don't tell him and such and when she did tell me she tried to convince me not to message him as she said he was laughing at her and he will try to flip her on me.
Long story short I spend the whole day gathering information. One of her friends just said they kissed and when i asked for more details about the kiss they didn't answer another said it was a peck for 2 seconds.
But I went to see her and asked to see her phone and her messages with her friends consisted of her her saying to her friends how I can't know the truth and her friends exhaling how they can lie to me and she had been calling me horrible names to her friends as she was apparently angry with me for trying to get the truth as I was talking about the situation all day to her. One of her friends said does he know you kissed him back, another was saying I told him the truth but the truth we both know, there was loads of conflicting things in the messages and I didn't get a chance to read them all but when I asked to look at her phone again she said no and wouldn't let me.
After all this she said she doesn't know if she kissed him back and if she did it wasn't a proper kiss with tounge. She hadn't told be but she did now he had kissed her a second time apparently on the cheek and this was after the boy who kissed her had been saying bad things about me like I ain't a real man and she said she was defending me apparently and this is when she said he kissed her again. Also she said she was crying after this and he was sat next to her wiping her tears. I saw a video she was extremely sad. And the
Way the first kiss happened was he put his arm around her as she was crying over me not picking up the call and then kissed her.
I am very confused I feel like I'm being manipulated her friends are known to be promiscuous but this girl isn't she was crying with guilt today and she was very very drunk but I don't know what to belive she orchestrated the best ways to lie to me and I don't know what to belive. She said she lied to me because she said she knew I would get angry and it would be over but this isn't the case.
Can I get an outside perspective of what you think really happened and what I should do? Thanks if you'd like more information I can give it to you
