Life Advice

We been together 6 years now and during the third year of our relationship I cheated on him with a close family friend. I had started taking him for granted and it became easy to cheat because I didn’t value the relationship.

He broke up with me and we were split for months and the times I was single I realized he is a great bf. I begged for him back and he took me back but I had to promise to never speak to the guy again. I’m happy to say I never cheated since then and haven’t been tempted at all. I understand how great of a partner I have.

We’ve all been there. You’re in a heated debate with someone who just doesn’t get it. No matter how many facts you throw their way or how passionately you argue, they remain steadfast in their beliefs. It’s infuriating, right?

I (24F) have been dating my boyfriend (23M) for almost 2.5 years now. At the very beginning, things were perfect. He loved spending time with me, we could talk about anything, and overall enjoyed each other’s company (as you should in a relationship).

However, within the last 9ish months, I’ve felt like more of a mother than a girlfriend. I’ve had to clean his bathroom, bedroom, do his laundry, pick up his trash he’s left around the house, even remind him to brush his teeth!

We’ve all been there – sitting around, gabbing about someone who isn’t in the room, picking apart their flaws like we’re dissecting a frog in high school biology. But here’s the thing: that habit of talking smack about others? It’s toxic. It’s poisonous. And it’s time we cut it out.

My father has been in debt all his life, due to an old gambling addiction and from getting cheated of money. He no longer has that addiction however he is still constantly in debt.

Recently due to an incident which caused huge expenses for him, he’s asked me for $6000. I do not want to loan him, however it makes me feel that guilt of not fulfilling my role as a daughter if I do not loan him. Moreover, he mentioned his alternative is to take a bank loan which has higher interest. I’m really afraid that it will be the start of another vicious cycle.

I (24M) am dating a woman (26F) who we’ll refer to as A. For some context I drive a 2019 Nissan GT-R. It was my dream car growing up and I told myself when I “made it” and made enough to afford it financially and not have it be everything in my bank account.
