I think mine does. When tabby first moved in he would sit beside me as I worked and if I went downstairs to the kitchen he would follow me down and back up. He still sits beside me as I work and he is always at the door to greet me when I come back after being out but that might be just to demand food. It is hard to tell.

Cats are self oriented but I think the burden of probability is he loves me and it is not just about the food.

Does your cat/s love you and why do you think they love you?

So I’ve been dating my girlfriend for over a year now. She’s 20. In her house there’s her mom, stepdad, her full siblings ( 21 and 19) and half siblings (12 and 10) and her dad. Since I’ve been with her I’ve noticed she’s very close to her dad and when ever he texts she replies immediately. Her dad was 48 when he met her mom who was 23. Anyway, she was over at mine for 3 days and her dad texted her “I haven’t seen you for 3 days, I miss you” to which she replied (I miss you too, we”lol watch our show when I get back) it was weird for me since I thought it was awkward. Then realised every time she mentioned she was watching something with her dad, it was up in his room, on his bed with the doors closed. It made me really uncomfortable. I asked her and she got mad and asked me to tell him like she confronted. So I can’t even get through to her about this. She other 2 siblings are not that close. They are in their own world. She does his laundry, one day he came into the room with her underwear asking if it’s hers? Just using 2 fingers that was another incident. He always picks her up, drops her off, comes to see her everyday after he finish work, gives her sweets and gifts, and then I planned a surprise dinner one day. She had to be home for painting the house. She forgot, I was dressed, she went home her mom ( narcissist) wasn’t happy, her dad didn’t look at her and she stood there staring at him waiting for him to turn around to look, it was really weird. I feel like my girlfriend is being a wife emotionally for her dad. The other day she said “daddy got me this” and I asked what? And she said dad after. When we have intimate time she says dddy, so now it’s even more awkward. If her dad and she is home, they always do something together, go for drives or he tries to show off his skills. Awhile ago he asked her what cologne I use and he bought the same. I wait for her to finish to eat, he does the same. Please help

Imaginary friends are an integral part of many children's lives. They provide comfort in times of stress, companionship when they're lonely, someone to boss around when they feel powerless, and someone to blame for the broken lamp in the living room. Most important, an imaginary companion is a tool young children use to help them make sense of the adult world.

If the kids father died or something tragic like that, then maybe I could see an exception, but I don't want anybody's baby daddy drama, and it's just weird to be with someone with children with another guy.

I don't want to hear about guns and gun control, I want to hear about motivations. Is it stress... finances, relational turmoil. It is so often the men I see reported "going nuts" and wiping out families or people. Rarely it seems... is it the women. Why?

Have you ever been so stressed you wanted to wipe out your family or others?

unknown reasons...

Finances implicated... stress

Let's say your parents are sadistic narcissists. Growing up, they'd physically and emotionally abuse you. They constantly put you down, encourage you to commit self harm, discourage and torment your own children, and do whatever they can to manipulate you into having the lowest self esteem. They also tell you how awesome your siblings are and how you're worthless and have no good deed to the family name.

But let's also say your parents' estate is worth millions. You know cutting them out of your life results in you being disinherited.

Would you do it?

For what it's worth, it's a true story, so I'm going anon.

A argument happened and she asks for space and comeback saying she lost feelings but wants to stay friends, but I reply back with not wanting to be friends.

only asking bc apparently she claims it’s me bc she wanted the door open by staying friends so she could decide later, and I wasn’t ok with that especially when our argument was about miss treatment and targeting self worth and me being the only one who even believed it being an issue

we were friends before if that affects anything.
