They are very very close. They known each other for like 7 years since they were kids. The fact that they known each other for a long time is the only thing keeping me at ease because wouldn't something have happened by now? But at the same time, there has been so many stories of best friends falling in love with each other so I am super paranoid.

I noticed they seems to be getting more and more close recently. They cuddle together and casually hold hands a lot. Like they were even holding hands the entire time during a photoshoot. Then, I saw a video of her sitting on his lap with his arms around her waist. It wasn't like they were keeping it a secret though so I just ignored it thinking it's fine because they were just playing a game with the chair. They are each other favorite person - I told myself that it's okay if he doesn't see me as his favorite person because he knew her wayyyy longer. They even see each other as backup husband/wife.

I feel like the only difference is that we have sex and kiss but they obviously don't. We been dating for more than a year now but I need to know if this is normal and I am not wasting my time. Like should I be worried about his relationship with his girl best friend or is it normal between two friends?

My dad and I didn’t talk for about three years he lives in a different state. We rekindled early last yr and he used to call maybe once a week or every few weeks. As of the past few months, he reaches out 1-3 times a week to check in or call about random shit. I limit to answering only once a week, I’m almost 30 and not a little girl anymore where I feel I’m obligated to answer or explain myself lol. My mom can reach out whenever quite frankly and it doesn’t bother me but something about my dad irritates me

He broke up with me 2 months ago and he started to text me and he said that he texted me was bc he was thinking about me and that he misses me. Then he asked me that if we continue to talk will I give him another chance and I want to buy I'm kinda scared to give him another chance Incase he breaks up with me again.

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over 3 years. I met him during undergrad. Throughout school, I was working part time jobs to help pay for bills whereas he had a luxury to work if he wanted pocket money. I bought him whatever he needed during that time and made him a priority always no matter what without fail whereas he treated me differently. He did spend money on me for gifts but not as significant effort as I put into it. After I graduated, I applied to graduate school since that’s required for my education. I can’t work while in graduate school though because they don’t allow it, but he has a salary job.

He knew my laptop wasn’t working well, so he took it upon himself to help me get a new one which I appreciated. I told him I wasn’t comfortable with the site he was getting it from. He didn’t listen, got it anyway, kept it for a week without making sure if it was working condition, made me drive a long way to him (we live 3 hours away), go home to see it was faulty. I had to return it myself without his help and my family who’ve been making ends met had to step up and get me the device.

I talked to my bf’s friend that works at an electronic store about tablets for school as well to see if there’s deals, and called my boyfriend to inform him I did so. During the call though, he kept saying that I “purposely” make him look bad and was using the victim card. He kept cutting me off and didn’t let me speak. I told him my chest hurts/hyperventilating since I was overwhelmed and he kept going on and on. I cried and that’s when he stopped and made me feel bad for crying, but apologized saying he was “joking.” Afterwards, he “fell asleep” and didn’t let me know beforehand when he was going to bed so I didn’t have to worry. i confronted him about it both but he apologized and doesn’t seem like he understands the magnitude of what he’s done. What should I do? What type of behavior is this? Why is he acting this way?

Personally, my partner has been around longer than my friends that I’ve met since moving back to my hometown. I believe that he should come first as this relationship is more likely to outlast any friendship (apart from my best friend that I’ve known since we were young children.) I will not hesitate to choose him over temporary friends that I’ve made in my twenties.

My friend thinks that this is insane and that I should choose my friends over him. I would get this if he was a newer love interest but we’ve been in each other’s lives for almost 5 years. I believe that friends will come and go forever, but a relationship with your one person could last a lifetime, at least that is usually the goal.

My question to you is, if it came down to choosing between the two, who would you pick?
