Do you show PDA with your partner infront of your friends?
Why or why not?

PDA = public displays of affection

This relationships is seen as normal to some. Taboo to others. But mostly it has negative stigma. My question is.. Why?

The idea of dating your step brother or sister gets a bad wrap because of the "Brother/Sister" part. Which makes sense. Since incest is not good for genes and is pretty weird. But they disregard the importance of the "Step" part.

This is the scenario I put to you. Your 16. You meet a guy who's say 17 or 18. Around your age. You hit it off. Like eachother and begin dating. While this happens your parents. Both separate parents are having martial problems and divorce. Then after a year of dating your father gets with a new woman... The guy your dating mom. They get married. Now you technically "brother and sister" but step brother and sister. So why is it at all fair to break up just cause your parents want to marry. Why can't both be happy.

The only exception I have is for kids aged like 2 or 3 and raised from almost birth to adulthood as step siblings. Since the brother sister bond has been formed more than it can with someone in 16s or older.

What is your view on it?

If my boyfriend wants me to move in with him, does that mean he's serious about me? Been together for nearly 2 years

I’m stronger than my boyfriend physically in a lot of areas except arms and shoulders and he doesn’t care, actually thinks it is hot. What is your opinion? Would you feel imasculine? And I’m not saying she is going to look masculine, she’s just fit and strong. I’m not asking about appearance.

So I asked my boyfriend this question to see if I was going to be right about what he would say. I asked him: "Which part of my body do you like the most?" He said: "That's a tough one." After thinking for a while, he said "I love all of your body, but I would say... Boobs, belly, face, thighs, then butt." I couldn't help to feel a little hurt that I was right, but I know it isn't his fault. He said he still finds me attractive everywhere, and that he didn't mean to hurt my feelings. Am I right to be a little hurt?

Trust is an important thing for all of us, it builds friendships, relationships, business deals. You agree to licenses when purchasing houses or software. It may be put in contract. But there is still a reliance on trust. So what if its broken... shattered. Can it be completely regained?

Im not refering to small trust, like telling your child not to eat a cookie and they break it. In this instance im refering to relationships.

Many, many years back, almost 10 or more I think, my father cheated on my mother, had an affair with another woman and they split up, did not divorse but they werent together, was the toughest time in my life. I despised my father for what he had done and swore to never do it to others. My mothers heart was broken. Now in todays society its EASY to shout and scream and insult, its easy to tell someone "Dont forgive them, you are weak if you do!" Really weak? So this person who has been married for almost 20 years, and dated a few before that with their now husband is weak for not instantly being able to move on.

I say this because after about 5 months of the insident my parents got back together, my dad was remorseful and devastated in his choices, you could see it. Now it took years for me and my mom to fully trust him against, but I can say for a fact he has tried his best, does nobody deserve another chance, again its easy to accuse and claim he could again. Guess what, everyone could again, so could my mom, but they haven't. I still struggle with trust of my father, but I see the love he has for my mother, and im well aware of the stress they went through during that time. He didn't wake up and decide to do it. There were factors on both sides. Not blaming my mother, but there was a tension that broke, but now that tension is gone.

So back to my question, do you honestly deep down believe trust can never be regained, nobody wants to be betrayed, and those who do are the weak ones. Easy to hate, hard to forgive. What are your opinions?

I have a boyfriend and we're in a committed relationship we've been dating for 6 months, but this guy told me he has a big crush on me and i told him that I'm flattered but i have someone already. I guess i flirted with him back, i called him cute just to not hurt his feelings but to be honest, he's average looking. I feel so guilty and i don't know how my boyfriend will react if i told him about this situation, i usually tell him everything, so did i cheat on my boyfriend? I hope not 😬

When a guy says "you mean a lot to me" , do you think he means it? We have been dating for few weeks now and officially together And what does it mean?

What are your thoughts on open relationships? Can they work out with everyone being happy or are they doomed to crash and burn?

Guys, would you hold hands with a girl you don't have feelings for?
- holding hands walking through the park
- holding her hand while you're driving
Etc

Now before you assume that I am some sort of a Friends hater, I must tell you that it is quite the opposite. While it may not be my favourite American sitcom (I like Seinfeld more), it is one that is very close to my heart as it was the first American sitcom I had watched. However, on rewatching it recently, I can't help but think that the Ross-Rachel relationships was at least slightly overrated. For starters, Ross is so insanely possessive of her that it seems hard for me to believe that there won't ever be another time that he doesn't get jealous of a male colleague of Rachel's such as Mark. While I do understand that scars he suffered from the multiple divorces he has had, it gets annoying after a while. In short, he is one whiny asshole who can't stop complaining about how screwed up his life is.
Rachel isn't any better either. She is as fucking jealous of Ross dating other women as the reverse situation. (She even made a girl go jald for Christ's sake). Also, Rachel's stupid technicalities like "We were on a break" are ridiculous. You have either broken up or you haven't. Stuff can't be so ambiguous all the time.
In short, I can't see this relationship working in the long run. Chandler-Monica may not have had such a dramatic relationship, but their's was 10 times better.

Also, if you have made it this far, should I watch it is always Sunny in Philadelphia? Heard that it is amazing...
