“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.

It’s Not Your Job to “Solve” Your Partner
Relationships are messy. They’re full of joy, laughter, fights about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, and deep, intimate moments of connection.

“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.

“I don’t want to marry my girlfriend”
I have been with my girlfriend for almost 3 years now and I love her a lot, but I don’t think I can see us getting married. I would love to get married but I just don’t think she’s the one.
We have lots of good times but we also argue a lot. We have different core values which doesn’t help cause I feel like I can never voice my public opinion to her. I also like to have a life of my own sometimes, but it feels like she always has to be next to me.
