    Reassurance and Hierarchy

    This is honestly a pretty presumptive and judgmental response. I never said anything about why my husband provides for me and it really isn't cool of you to go shaming people when you know basically nothing about their situation. It's people like you that make me feel guilty for not having a...

    Reassurance and Hierarchy

    Thanks Kevin, this is exactly what I do. And honestly, my bf likes not feeling the pressure to have to be my "everything" and the freedom to not have to fulfill the stereotypical male role of being the "provider"... He honestly isn't really upset by the fact that he's not my nesting partner. I...

    Reassurance and Hierarchy

    So, I'm trying to figure out how to provide reassurance to my bf... I met my husband when I was mono and still looking for "the one"... and if anyone could be my "one" would be him. My husband is basically the perfect nesting partner for me. He's attractive, responsible, has a great job, funny...

    bf's relationship with ex bothering me

    Just to be clear, it only bothers me when I see him unhappy because of Kate. It's not like I feel threatened at all by her. I get angry and protective because she and Toni both seem to be totally emotionally manipulative, and I don't care what kind of history is there, or who they are, if...

    bf's relationship with ex bothering me

    My BF (Red) broke up with his ex (Kate) about a year and a half ago after he caught her cheating with his business partner (Max). Kate's mom (Toni) is also a business parter and runs a lot of the day to day operations. The whole thing nearly tanked the company, but Max and Red were able to work...

    friends turning lovers - need advice

    Update: We spoke tonight. Long story short, Bob is stupid amazing. I suggested and he agreed that he should take a step back from everyone, take care of himself for a bit, and figure out his own needs and wants. One thing I'd kind of like your guy's input on: He told me that Amanda did react...

    friends turning lovers - need advice

    I did. And I do, though now that I'm much farther away that's harder for me. I don't need a lot of time to think on things, he does. I'm also a hardcore extrovert and daily checking in during confusing times helps me process and feel valued...he's an introvert and needs time alone to process and...

    friends turning lovers - need advice

    I recently took a week long vacation to see a very good friend of mine, we'll call him Bob. We've had a relationship that has always walked a fine line between romantic and friendship. Because I'm married and Bob is a guy with loads of integrity he was very careful about not crossing any lines...
