I'm a fiancee for the first time and aware of men's issues about it. Personally I don't want wealth (never did) and would happily sign a prenup. I never asked anyone for money. I gave money and got scammed.

What's worse for a man though?

- She divorces you for no good reason, sadly for monetary incentive. She makes the rest of us look bad.

- She never divorces you, never cheats but it's still a toxic marriage. She's a jealous freak and there are constant arguments. You feel unloved, unwanted and she treats you terrible, even emotionally/psychologically abuses you, causing you stress and later on health issues. You even start contemplating divorce yourself.

A politician says he thinks religion is a load of bollocks and he's proud to be an atheist. Would would you be more or less willing to vote for him?

My relationship with my ex lasted 4 years, and he broke up with me almost a year ago. We were serious; he bought a ring, which was a whole thing. While I was with him, though, his mom kept influencing him to end things with me since my family wasn't accepting of the relationship. However, he ended the relationship on his own accord because he was "falling out of love, not compatible anymore, etc."

After the breakup, his mom was my primary support system since my family didn't support us. She told me that she believes he'll reconcile with me in a couple of years since he still has a lot of maturing to do, and he will contact me when it's time. But she told me to move on in the meantime and how she met her now-husband after her serious relationship ended. After a couple of months, I stopped contacting her and his family because it was taking a toll on my mental health since she kept referring to me as "daughter-in-law" when her son moved 12 hours away to avoid reminders of our relationship and the possibility of seeing me.

However, his mom and grandmother still text me occasionally. She texted me this past Christmas, asking if I was single and wishing me a happy Easter. His grandmother texted me last week to see how I was doing since she thought of me. I am moving on with another man now. My family doesn't support this relationship, but he doesn't mind, will fight their dissatisfaction, and will marry me soon. It's hard now, though, because I can't help but wonder if my ex's family is trying to make him reconsider the breakup and reconcile with me, especially since they still message me. I don't want to block them because it feels rude, but it's also making me question my new relationship. Help?

I was in a 4-year relationship with my ex before he ended things about a year ago. I didn't block him on social media but removed him (since my pages are private) and his family, even though he wanted to be connected on Instagram at least. It took a toll on my mental health to see that he can still view my pages, so that's why I removed him. I didn't block his phone number either; I just deleted it because he's not the type to message me unnecessarily unless he's serious about getting back together. Recently, though, he viewed my LinkedIn profile even after I removed him as a connection a while ago. I'm assuming he was just curious, but is there a possibility that he is trying to reconcile with me? His family texts me occasionally to "check in" and see how I'm doing.

It is a topic people tend to avoid discussing openly in my country, and usually only women discuss it. I remember buying sanitary pads as a teenager, and they used to conceal them so that no one could see what I had purchased.
I don’t find it gross to menstruate. I see it as a normal and healthy aspect of being female.

I love burger king. Much tastier!

We're they nice? How did you meet them?

We’ve been dating for 3.5 years. He moved out of town about 6 months ago. The last time he came to visit him and his kids stayed at my house the whole two weeks. We were planning for me to visit him soon & I told him I’d have to bring my son this time. He said ok no problem. Then the following day he said sister asked if his nephew can fly down with me. So I said um okay two kids shouldn’t be too hard. He was like well I want my kids to come they haven’t been here yet. I said understandable but it’s only one of me, that’ll be 4 kids 5-9 years old plus luggage, I’d love to bring them but that’s going to be too difficult. I’m bringing my son this time because I have to. So he said if I don’t bring them my son can’t come.

Little back story! He was a single father when we met & I took care of his kids up until about 3 months before he moved. They’ve stayed with me while he was working even times when my son was with his dad or spending the night with family members. I took them to school when he needed me to, treated them as my own. Their mom came back in the picture after years of refusing to take them while living in the same city. She would take them a few times a month then when I came in the picture she got even more distant. She would always take their daughter but NEVER the boys. So I stepped up.

If I could’ve driven just so everyone could go I would have but I can’t drive my car that far & he knows that. None of the kids have flown before. 2 are afraid of heights. Not only would I have to fly I’ll have to get an Uber, train & another Uber because he’ll be at work. I can count on one hand the amount of times I needed him to keep my son or do anything for him. So for him to basically say my son is not welcome to his house without his kids being there, after EVERYTHING I’ve done for his children with or without my son being there is soo unbelievable. I broke up with him. Was this situation worth it?

Yeah, she's pretty but not a 10. So why did you tell her how beautiful she is?

A girl walks up to you in public and puts a hand on your chest, and says "I bet you could remind me what being a woman is all about. Come with me now. Please I'm begging you.

Imagine a world where you can flounce around in your wedge sandals, shortest shorts and tightest tank top braless and men don't catcall or wolf whistle.

Now imagine that it's been years and still no one does it.

a couple months ago i got super super drunk at like 6pm and ended up in public all wasted. the cops were called on me and they picked me up. i spent the night in the sobering cell thing, and got a contravention of just 35 euros. It was in a little village in the country side. i dont drink often, like only a couple times a year. I didn't plan on getting drunk like that, or even going outside like that either.

half of my family thinks since i'm young (23) it's bad but it's not a huge deal, like it's something that can still happen at my age. and that as long as i learn my lesson and are careful to not drink so much like that especially alone, it's fine. The other half thinks it's really bad and i can't be left alone because of it. so now i'm being treated like a baby by those people for that one incident.

what do you guys think. is it super severe and warrents a 23yo being more controlled and babysat to prevent them redoing that or is it not that grave and they're old enough to learn from their mistakes alone?

In the gif you can see she's moving her hand, but you can't see what she's actually doing with it. So let's have some fun, what's going on out of sight?

I have this friend and she only talks about her ex boyfriend constantly, it’s been MONTHS. I said to her it’s getting to be a bit too much and she said their relationship was very important to her and she needs to vent. I stopped talking to her. It’s getting to much. I feel like her therapist. Would you deal with a friend who only talked about her ex boyfriend 24/7 for months straight or would you stick it out?

I like my boss. He is such a sweetheart! He makes eye contact when we talk, laughs/jokes with me, tries to invite me to work outings (which I usually avoid unless they're mandatory), etc. I know he's my boss, but he makes it a point to let me know he'll accept a call for help at any time of the day and wants me to call him when I'm feeling down... I joked about the latter when he first suggested it and accidentally chuckled in a sultry way, which he seemed to do in return? I felt there was some "tension" between us at that time... but that could have been my own "tension" talking.

I love that he's respectful to women regardless of looks, and I also realize that he might not be into me and is just being kind. DGMW, I'm not ugly... but I'm very aware that I'm not everyone's cup of tea... I've been reminded of that multiple times since I was young. Penelope/Colin relationships, especially ones where Pen looks more like Kate or Lady Danbury than Daphne or Queen Charlotte, are uncommon. I've also noticed my coworkers (mostly the women) acting funny towards me ever since this one time he told me he liked my hair. I can't tell when I'm liked because it's so few and far between, so I don't know if they're seeing something I'm not or just being weird... don't men compliment hair?

I made the mistake of dating a coworker while we worked together years ago; I wouldn't dare pursue a relationship with a coworker now. I've also been rejected by every guy I've ever confessed to, so I'm hesitant to put myself out there. I want him to make the first move, but I'm also worried, if he feels the same way, that he's too scared to say anything to me... so I want to try to "guide" him to me. I told him a few months back that I wanted him to "not be a stranger" with me after I quit, and he's said I should let him know when I'm quitting. "Tension" made me feel he was saying it in that sort of way, and I'm thinking of revisiting that convo when I tell him I'm quitting.
