“Am I permanently stuck in the friendzone?”

I’ve known this girl since childhood, but only recently realized I have feelings for her. She lives a few hours away, so I messaged her to catch up, and then asked if she’d be open to something more. She said she’s too busy with work and life right now, but appreciated my honesty.

I thanked her for being upfront and said I’d still like to be friends. She agreed, but made it clear she doesn’t want to lead me on, since she’s seen friends get stuck hoping for more in these situations.

12 People Reveal How Difficult Their Partner Is

1. My soon to be ex wife has adhd and it played a huge role in our divorce. It was like having a 3rd child, and she never made me feel like she appreciated all the work I did to make our lives work.

Day to day was rough. I did all the house chores, managed finances, ordered groceries, cooked and so on.

Look for a partner who is actually a partner. Someone who reciprocates and can think of you, do things that work for your love language even if it doesn’t come naturally to them. Someone who values your option and wants to make big decisions with you.

“My husband hasn’t forgiven my past affair and no longer loves me.”

I’ve been married to my husband for 11 years, together for almost 15, and we have two young boys. A few years ago, I cheated—not because of anything he did, but because I felt bored and restless with my life and choices. I regret it deeply.

The affair lasted about 7 months and ended before my husband found out. When he did, things got rough—lots of fighting, apologies, talk of divorce. Eventually, we decided to stay together, but he refused marriage counseling.
