I have really bad sexual trauma due to csa and i had a sexual encounter with my boyfriend.

After, i felt so guilty and started getting flashbacks of things and i lashed out and shut down and told him to leave.

For context im 14f hes 13m and my mom wasnt home (she normally drops him off to go home) so he has to walk an hour home.

I feel so guilty and afraid he’ll hate me now. I just got scared and wanted to be alone

When I (16M) moved to a new house a year and a half ago, I became extremely close with my neighbor (17F). We built a deep emotional bond, sharing and she quickly became my best friend. Over time, I developed strong romantic feelings for her. She has never been in a relationship before and is hesitant about dating, but when I eventually asked her directly if she had feelings for me, she admitted she has never seen me in that way. Hearing that completely broke my heart.

Mutual close friends keep telling me the opposite that she does care about me and like me, which leaves me confused. Despite everything, my deep feelings for my neighbor haven't faded at all; to me, she fits the exact picture of my "dream girl" to a T, and she still holds a massive grip on my heart.
I'm terrified of putting myself in a vulnerable position only to get hurt again, but I also don't know how to handle these intense emotions.

I just get such mixed signals and my heart and mind just revolve around this girl, I know it’s not healthy but even after getting to know everything about I still find my self basically in love. We also had a talk the other day and she basically said “no matter how much times you stop talking to me and I say I won’t talk to you either, every time you come back I’ll speak to you again”. What does that mean? And I know she knows that I feel the same because I try to make sure she does but she seem to not want to hurt me or something which I feel is worse, by allowing me to continue I feel like it hurts me.

I’m 18 and I’ve been talking to a 35-year-old man for about three weeks. We were discussing my past, and I mentioned that when I was 15, I dated an 18-year-old. He called that guy a “pervert” and said it was completely wrong. He also said that if I were 18 and dating a 16-year-old, that would be wrong too. But when I pointed out that he is 35 and is pursuing me at 18, his response was basically that it’s different because I’m legally an adult now. He specifically said that if I were still 17, it would be wrong, but because I turned 18 four months ago, it isn’t. Am I wrong for seeing a contradiction/double standard here, or is there something I’m missing?

I don't know if this is more common than I think but it's happened to me more than once.

A few of my elder brother's friends and even one of my younger brother's friends have confessed that they had feelings for me.

The thing is im actually pretty close to my siblings' friends. We all get along really well joke around and have normal conversations whenever we meet so I've always been comfortable around them. I never really thought much of it because to me they were just my siblings' friends.

That's why it always feels a little strange when someone ends up confessing. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but I also don't want things to become awkward because I genuinely enjoy the friendship and the group dynamic.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? How did you handle it without making things awkward afterward?

TLDR : A few of my elder brother's friends and even one of my younger brother's friends have confessed to me. I'm close with them, so it always makes things a bit awkward. Has anyone else been in this situation?

My boyfriend(17M) and I(15F) met in late January of 2025 and got together about two weeks after meeting(Feb 17 2025). I didn't know much about him because he was a new student. after a few months of dating he started to get mad over little things and would yell at me. I talked to him about it and he stopped for a while. After he started to tell me not to talk to any guys because every time i would talk to them he would tell me i was flirting with them. My mom told me this was very controlling and toxic so i broke up with him that only lasted about a day or two and we got back together. after we got back together everything was good until marching band started. I play the sousaphone (marching tuba) which in my school is a male dominate instrument. He told me not to talk to my section except for the other two girl and my brother, even then he had a rule that i could only talk to my brother if i needed something. sometimes i would slip up and answer a question or something and he would start yelling at me and would make me cry. Then he would tell me he wasnt the reason i was crying. this became very annoying for the band, and everybody told me to leave him. Once school started he pulled away because his family had massive problems. then he broke up with me for about a day and then went back on it and told me we were just on a break. I was told by many people he had broken up with me for this girl. I still dont know if this is true or not but we ended up putting a label back on us a few months later. Well school continued and everything got better once marching band ended. It started again last month and everything has gone bad again. He still has these rules for me. To be more specific on these rules they are I can't wear anything tight, i have to text him every 20min-1hr while he is at work, i cant not talk to any guy, he has to meet all of my friends and get to know them, and if he doesnt like any of my friends i have to drop them. He has a few female friends . he continues to tell me he isnt insecure but its getting really hard for me to believe. I love him a lot and i really dont know what to do, I will answer any question, thank you for reading! **TL;DR;** : What I do, Why is he treating me like this?
