“How do I convince my daughter her boyfriend is not the one?”
My 21-year-old daughter lives with her boyfriend, despite our wishes. We get along well and respect her choices, but he’s the only guy she’s ever dated. I hoped she’d use college to meet new people and have different experiences, but they stayed together and now live near his enabling family.
We’re not impressed with him—he’s immature, bad with money, lacks ambition, and has no real plans for his future. Meanwhile, our daughter is smart, driven, and planning for her master’s. Their finances are separate, but I worry she’s settling for comfort and doesn’t realize what she might be missing.

“Wife renamed contact of ex boyfriend in phone to hide it from me.”
My wife had an ex she used to talk about all the time when we were dating. I knew everything about him—even random details. At first, she told me they broke up because he was a jerk, but really it was because he wasn’t ready to settle down.
Even after a year together, she kept bringing him up. Eventually, I lost it and told her I didn’t want to hear about him anymore. Then I found out she still had his contact info and cute photos of them saved on her phone. She said it was just so she could ask about travel details from trips they took together.

Would you feel comfortable with your partner using your phone?
“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.
