I feel my relationship/communication is not going well with my boyfriend. Like it’s not evolving as I hoped it would be. It feels like he is becoming more and more distant and I’m just the back burner in his life.

I have confronted with my mom looking for relationship advice. That she told me: “Honey, all men are like this. He is out there living his life and you need to give him his space. Men say they want ‘love and attention’. But once a girl gives it to him. He doesn’t want it anymore. You need to focus on you and glow and don’t worry about him. He’ll come around whenever he feels like it, and I know it hurts. Believe me, I know.”

I’m personally okay with it, as long as the friend knows of me, and is respectful of me and my boyfriend. I trust my boyfriend.

So today, we got a huge fight.. actually it’s not a fight like FIGHT… i text her like “I’m tired of everything, I’m tired of us, my surroundings, my family.. I’m tired babe” after like a few hours she replies with “what’s wrong? What’s do you want?”. And then I replied with “None, nvm” then blocked her.. it’s because i feel like she doesn’t want me to feel like that.. and I feel like she judged me on how i feel.. she was mad because she thought that I complained about our relationship where she doesn’t give me enough attention.. but al i just want to say is, i want her to listen.. like i wanted to tell her that I’ve been depressed for like a month.. i sleep 5/6 in the morning just because I overthink, insecurity all over my head and the loneliness that i felt.. i feel sick.. so I don't know how to tell her.. I don't know if i can talk to her.. now she blocked me in all social media.. she doesn’t want to see and she even want us to break up.. I don't know what to do😔

I love baseball games, but my husband isn't a fan and says no. I'm really pretty annoyed about not being able to go see a single game this year.

Would you be happy if your wife actually enjoyed going to games?

My boyfriend lets me sleep over at his place and he’s told me he loves me and has introduced me as his girlfriend to everyone and had introduced me to his friends... he’s ok with me talking to his male friends but gets mad and insists that I don’t talk to his brother at all... not even a hello... he also told me of a time when his brother stole a girl from him but that was a long time ago... his bro is married with kids now... he also told me not to add his sister cuz she’s all drama and takes everything seriously...

is he scared of if his brother causing trouble and possibly cheating on his wife?
Or is my boyfriend not serious about me?

(I have met his family very briefly at a bday party I was invited to by his brother)

27F, I hate to describe this as daddy issues. For the most part, my dad and I have gotten along. My parents divorced when I was 8, after that he started to take his frustrations out on me (mom cheated). At around 23 I got tired of it, I moved out of state to live w my gma at 13 but we talked over phone. I pretty much said fuck him and didn’t talk to him for three years. My parents are still good friends, my mom has been with the same guy and my dad is single I think.

For over a year, my dad and I rekindled. He seemed to change with me, I think he knows I’m not taking that anymore and we never argue. But I’m irritated when he calls too often. My mom can call me whenever (I have resentment towards her too) and I have no prob. My dad calls too frequently (more than once a week) and I get irritated.

He just annoys me, he asks me the same questions frequently and I put him in his place lol. I know he remembers, my mom blames it on him not knowing what to say to me. My dad doesn’t have a good relationship with his family, everyone always makes the excuse that I’m all he has. My moms family is shit too but I guess she has a boyfriend and 2 other kids.

What frustrates me is that really isn’t my fault, I always think what if I was married or had kids. I would have to coddle and make time for my dad then too? I’m single, no friends and don’t feel like I need to talk to my parents that often.

TL;DR: am I being too harsh with my dads need to talk with me often?

They love each other to death so obviously they're not going to let house decor break up their relationship.
But they simply do not agree on aesthetics, what should be done?

He never gets me flowers and we have been together for 1 year now. I wish he would surprise me with a bouquet just because he loves me. He knows I love flowers, yet he never gets me any. I don’t feel loved. Do you think it’s a bad idea to straight out ask for flowers? Like „You know it’s our anniversary next week, I would love it if you could get me roses that day, it would make me very happy“…is it too demanding? If I don’t say anything he won’t get me any so I don’t really know what to do.
