Traditional:

The woman doesn't work or contribute financially. Most of the woman's time is spent on looking good and little time is spent on education or career. The guy works long hours and brings home the bacon. He is responsible for affording everything. Both parties are expected to be somewhat celibate before marriage but especially women. The woman is expected to have kids and cook and clean. The guy is conscripted to the army for a minimum for 12 months.

Modern:

Both parties work and make similar incomes. Both spend same time on hobbies and going gym and sharing housework etc. If they decide to have kids they both take on part time work (3:2 or 2:3 split whichever). Celibacy is not important and both parties had similar # of sexual partners before. Both parties still surprise each other with cute gifts and thoughtful gestures. No army conscription for men.

Normally I have a regular vagina scent when I’m not on my period. It’s a scent NOT odor and it’s not offensive. But a day before my period starts I smell like fish, then once my period actually starts I have a strong pungent odor. It doesn’t smell like fish after that point but it’s an awful stench and leaks into my asshole and just smells real bad. For example I bent down in the store today and a guy covered his nose. I can admit it’s an offensive odor and I wash twice a day but the smell remains strong. I feel embarrassed and unclean. No matter how many times I wash I still stink but once my period ends I smell normal again.

Will you help me settle an argument? This boy that I was conversing with is adamant that “youtube is actually a reliable source of education.”.

What do you think?

If, say, 4 months have passed in a breakup and the two people talk to catch up. The girl tells him she hasn’t been with any other men since him. How does this make the man feel? Will this just boost his ego or will he feel more likely to want her back since she’s so loyal to him?

You can’t say only if they stopped either. I mean can you really accept it if they did it forever? 🤨

For context, I'm 17F, and a Senior in high school. My bus gets there pretty early, about 5 minutes before the others do. A while back, I met a guy. Let's call him Ryan (17M). And once he arrives at school, he always comes and sits down next to me on the stairs. For the last two or so months, he's been getting really close to me. And I don't know if he's leading me on, or whether or not he likes me. So, I'm going to list 3-4 things, and hopefully, I can get some advice on that.

• 1: At an assembly a few weeks ago, he was just sitting there, looking into my eyes, not saying anything. And then one of my friends suggests he should sit and turn around so he could see, and he came up and sat next to me, and was leaning into me the entire assembly, showing me stuff on his phone.
• 2: A week + 1/2 ago, I carried a baggy red overcoat to school, and I had set it down on the stairs. We talked normally, and when we went to get up, he grabbed it, took off his hoodie, and put it on. I wore his, and he wore mine, for the day. He returned my overcoat back to me but didn't want to take his hoodie back, so I still have it.
• 3: About 2 days ago, he took my hand and was comparing his hand's size to mine. (mine is significantly smaller.) He turned my wrist over, and took the bracelet that I was wearing, off. Then again, he wore it for the whole day and then gave it back.
• 4: Yesterday, we were sitting, and he asked to play the game I was playing. I handed him my phone, and he was just playing. I was talking with someone, and was just letting him mindlessly play. He poked my side, told me it had turned off, and went to hand me the phone. Since I was busy I just told him the code. (a mistake I know.) My other friend left, and I looked over and he was just mindlessly scrolling through my phone, going through my photos and apps. (I had a few photos of him in my phone, which he smiled at.)

And here we are. Advice?

I'm a Christian but I've been in a sexual relationship with my boyfriend for about 10 months. For a few months, I've been having feelings of guilt after sex and it literally seems like I'm being sent messages from God to stop having sex before marriage.

I told my boyfriend about this and he said we can work on it together a week ago but yesterday, he brought it up again and said he doesn't think it'll be possible and that he'd not be able to cope. We cried on the phone for hours. He said the chances of him cheating are high and he might get frustrated if we go through with it. I appreciate his honesty and I love him very much.

He's a good man too. He kept begging me to help him; to compromise because he didn't want to loose me over something like this. He literally cried very bitterly and I almost folded but, I kept thinking that if he didn't want to loose me, he'd be willing to go on this journey with me. I told him we are allowed to fail because we're trying to stop and it's obviously not going to be easy.

I'm just really disappointed because he is a Christian like me and I didn't expect this answer but then i also totally understand because he is big on sex.

I'm really confused... If you've ever been in a situation like this, please help. If you've not please what do you think can save us?

I'm a Christian and my favorite saint is Saint Anthony (saint of miracles).. I love him and devote him so much. I always pray for his blessings.

I was going to take an important exam in my life. The night before exam, I prayed to him and on the day I prayed to him.. I prayed while driving to the exam center and even prayed in the exam waiting room.

So everyone has to do a security check before entering the exam room (to make sure you dont cheat, and the invigilator will be monitoring you).. And the invigilator on duty that day was a guy named Anthony.. I didn't notice anything at that time.. he did the security check and wished me good luck.. Even while taking the exam I was praying.. I was the first one to finish my exam and I was panicking.. It was either you failed or you passed if you finish early.. When I came out of the room.. Anthony asked me how was it.. I was so anxious.. so he calmed me and said "I think you did just fine".. I smiled and drove back home. While in the car, I got this strange feeling.." Was it really him? My saint Anthony? Was he really there for me? did I actually see him an talk to him?" .. Tons of questions ran throught my mind..

I still kept prayering and 2 days after the exam.. I found out I passed.. I was over the moon.. I wasn't like studying and preparing so much for the exam but somehow I passed.. I really think it was God's and Saint Anthony's miracle..💜
