“Girl Invited me over to dorm at 3am”
Last night a girl (18F) invited me (18M) over to her dorm. We had been messaging each other on instagram and then she said “…can we hang out soon. You never wanna hang out with me”. I told her about saying she was gonna show me her room. She then responds, “Come right now. My roomies are gone”.
So eventually I just head over and get there like at 3:30 AM. Once I get there she is just laying down, and I sit in her desk chair and we just talk and listen to music. Eventually I leave, super confused. Not really sure what her intentions were. Like I don’t know if she wanted to make a move on me or for me to sleep over. She is super cool and I enjoy talking to her, but she does flirt with me a lot and I feel like she gives me mixed signals.
“He won’t marry me after 16 years and two kids”
I’m a 38 year old woman who has been dating a 40 year old man for 16 years. I feel so depressed and disposable because he won’t marry me.
We have been together for 16 whole years. We have two daughters (4 and 8). I wanted to be married before having kids but he basically said he thought that if he married me first then I might decide not to have any kids and he would be stuck never having any. So I was guilted into having them before being married.
I have felt horrible about my situation for years but last summer, about a month before our 16 year anniversary, I started to feel much worse. I’m depressed and I think about it multiple times a day. I feel like a joke. Like a disposable piece of trash. Like I’m not good enough to be loved completely.

Why Men Need to Talk About Their Emotions
Let’s face it, guys. We’ve been conditioned to believe that expressing our emotions is a sign of weakness, that “real men” are supposed to be stoic and unflappable in the face of life’s challenges. We’re taught to suck it up, to push down our feelings, to never let ’em see us sweat.
Well, I call B.S. on that. Not only is this emotional repression unhealthy, it’s also a one-way ticket to a miserable existence filled with broken relationships, stunted personal growth, and a gnawing sense of disconnection from ourselves and others.

This Is Your Life – And It’s Ending One Minute at a Time
We all like to pretend that we’ve got all the time in the world, like we’re the main character in some never-ending story. We procrastinate on our dreams, put off important conversations, and waste our days on meaningless trivialities, as if we’ve got an infinite number of tomorrows to make it all right.
Well, I’ve got news for you: you don’t. None of us do. Every second that ticks by is a second you’ll never get back, a tiny piece of your one wild and precious life that you’ve irretrievably spent.

“I lent a friend $25,000 and I want to be paid back.”
I find myself in a frustrating and disheartening situation with a friend of mine. Over a year ago, I lent him a substantial amount of money – $25,000 to be exact. At the time, he assured me that he would pay me back as soon as he could. I trusted him, as a good friend should, and I believed he would honor his word.
However, as the months have dragged on, I’ve grown increasingly concerned about the repayment of this loan. Every time I gently bring up the subject, he always has an excuse ready. He tells me that he’s dealing with “bills” and that he’s struggling to make ends meet. I understand that life can be challenging at times, and I’ve tried to be patient and understanding.
But recently, I discovered that he had purchased a car. This news hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn’t help but feel betrayed and upset. If he has the means to buy a car, surely he should be able to start paying me back, even if it’s in small installments. I’ve been there for him as a friend, and I feel like my kindness is being taken for granted.
