Long term relationships are hard. My partner and I are currently in the process of sorting our issues out. What he is going through must be tough, and I understand because I've felt that way too. For a few months we hit a rough patch in our relationship (we've been together for 4 years). It got to a...

I’m going to say something a bit counter intuitive. Work a little less on self improvement and instead work more on improving others. Work on what you can do to help others improve, to get what they want in life. Thanks for shifting my perspective. That was very helpful. It makes sense because in m...

If you're sitting there thinking of how you appear, you're not attending properly. If you're not attending properly, you're going to miss obvious cues to ask for more information when it's your turn to speak. I rarely think about how I appear when in conversation. It's something I usually do in ref...

I was recently rejected from a job position that I really wanted. I got through 4 rounds of interviews and things were looking good for me. I guess I had an off day and didn't perform as well as I should have in the final (informal) interview. The next day, I was thankfully given feedback which I tr...

Thank you

For the past year I haven't been myself. I feel weak. Tired. Defeated. Whenever something happens to me that I know I shouldnt have to be putting up with I just give up instead of standing up for myself because I'm just tired. I usually feel like I deserve what is happening to me. I feel worthless a...

If theres one regret I have in life, it's one from my adolescence. I'm up at midnight writing this because its been playing in my mind for the first time in awhile. I've been thinking about my family today and this is what triggered it. When I was 14 my mother and father divorced. I'm the oldest of ...

I've been very busy for 3 days straight with no time for myself and now I have this strong urge to experience something meaningful for example... a good movie with a meaningful story line or a indepth conversation with a friend about life. I don't want to joke or laugh, I just want to feel a strong ...

That's the thing - it's not a complete deal breaker for me but I feel like it should be. I'm afraid that he won't take me seriously because of this.

I recently found out that my boyfriend was planning to see a escort. Before I confrotned him about it, I believed he went through with it. Though, it never made sense as we are so happy in our relationship and I give him everything I have plus he doesnt seem like the type to do it. I was shocked but...

Seems we both need help ive decided we should go to therapy together to work through our issues. We both love eachother and we both have issues. I dont think im ready to give up yet. If this fails, i can walk away knowing i gave it my all and i tried. Who knows, maybe we can learn to live a healthie...

Im just stating am i any better when i have kicked, pushed and slapped him aswell? Ive broken his things, ive gone to hit him on thr head with a saucepan. Am i any better?

The abuse cycle you speak of.. i researched into it and dont think it fully matches what im experiencing. Ill tell you why 1. Tension cycle- it says the victim is afraid of the abuser and needs to placate them. Generally im not afraid of him, most times i actually fight back. 2. Incident- the anger,...

I dont want to show him that he has the right to control me yet at the same time i dont necessarily want to leave him. Is there a way i can make this stop, show him he cant do this rather than breaking up with him. Im not saying the way he acted was correct, it was very wrong. However im not innocent.

Dispite this i know he never had the right to put his hands on me no matter how angry he was.
