“How do you stop feeling jealous of people that have easier lives than you?”

I am 35 years old. I have a steady job that pays the bills and lets me save a little each month, but not much more than that. There are no vacations, no splurges, and no big leaps forward. Just the same routine every month: work, bills, and a little left over.

I try to be grateful that I am not drowning in debt or struggling to make rent, but it is hard not to look around and feel envious. Friends are buying homes, taking trips, or getting help from their families to build the kind of life I can only imagine. I know everyone’s situation is different, but sometimes it feels like I am doing everything right and still falling behind.

“How to accept the fact that I’ll never have a relationship?”

I’m in my 30s and still have no experience with women. I’ve never had a relationship, never had sex, and I’ve never been able to attract a woman.

A few years ago, this started causing a real crisis for me. I asked for help from anyone who would listen and tried hard to follow the advice I was given. I started going to the gym, taking walks, adopted a dog, worked on my career, improved my grooming and style, and even talked to psychiatrists and psychologists.

“My boyfriend reacts terribly to arguments”

My boyfriend and I have very different styles of arguing. I had a pretty traumatic childhood. My dad died, my mom and I don’t have much of a relationship, and I grew up around explosive fights where people said horrible things to each other and then acted like nothing happened.

My boyfriend, on the other hand, hasn’t had much conflict in his life. He’s also quite a bit younger than I am.

“I am a coward”

I am a coward and a weak man, and have always been . I avoid conflict and take shit from others, when I was younger I never fought back when people picked on me or even hit me, because I always thought that they were stronger and I only wanted it to end.

Even as an Adult I have been avoiding it, wether it be in the workplace, school, or with friends (changing the way I talk or hiding my opinions to please others), while telling myself that it’s better “to keep the peace” but in reality it is simply because I am afraid of the confrontation and do not want to upset anybody in anyway.

“How Do You Get Over a Really Attractive GF Who Cheated?”

I was with my ex for 7 years she’s 36 and I miss her all the time, I look at other women and they all seem like downgrades in comparison to my ex. She was perfect, great ass, great boobs slim waist, nice face. Everything about her physically was great, the internal not so much since she cheated on me and was manipulative and abusive at times.

But part of me still wants her and I am extremely jealous of the guy she cheated on me with as he is now with her in a relationship.

Whilst I can’t find anyone or am attracted to anyone. It’s been 8 months and I just feel stuck fantasising about her and what she’s doing and how I am never going to be with a woman as hot as her ever again in my life.

“My parents are never satisfied with me”

My parents have always had unspoken expectations for their kids. If someone in the family is doing well, it’s like I have to do better so they can stop feeling sorry for themselves. If someone buys something—like electronics, clothes, or a house—it’s on me to work harder and buy it for them too. I used to be okay with this because it seemed to make them happy, and if I could manage it, I didn’t mind.

“My uncle is marrying a prostitute…”

My divorced uncle decided to start paying for companionship.

He flew to Thailand and met a prostitute with a child and began paying her for frequent sexual encounters. She does not speak English, but that is not an issue. He does not care what she thinks.

He pays both her and her parents hundreds of dollars a month for her love and devotion. He is also including her in his will. He is rich, which I am sure has nothing to do with anything. She loves him for him. Not a gold digger or anything. And he loves her for her. It is definitely real.

“My boyfriend lied to me about running a marathon”

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend claimed he completed a full marathon in an impressive time, under four hours. Since we started dating six months ago, this marathon had been a huge topic between us. I watched him train, helped him fundraise, and supported him emotionally the entire way.

On race day, I could not attend in person, so I asked for his bib number so I could track him online, while my parents went to cheer him on. When I tried tracking him, his name was nowhere to be found. At first I assumed he was registered under the charity name, so instead I used Find My iPhone to follow his location and update my parents.
