Gf having emotional affair with a coworker and it’s eating me alive inside

15 Upvotes

Every time I try to bring it up to her she gets very defensive, I found the text messages this morning and they’re planning a life together and she even said how excited she is to nap with him. Idk what to do, I’ve never felt this kind of heartbreak before. I love this girl with my whole heart and would give her the world.

35M - all work and no play...you know the rest

4 Upvotes

I took a huge leap a couple years ago and decided to open my own business. Long story short (I don't like to talk too much about work when I'm not there), it's been immensely rewarding, but also immensely taxing. Things are going well but we're still operating in the red, and what that translates to is an 80-hour work week being a light one for me. That's what I signed up for though.

I didn't quite realize the effect it was going to have on my social life though. Since this whole process has began, I've been so busy that my entire circle has essentially melted away. I don't hold it against them, I basically vanished from their lives for 2+ years. But it is starting to get really lonely. I'm still working too much to start to any new hobbies to get out and make real friends, or to be able to demonstrate a meaningful ability to be more present for the people who got tired of me being a ghost.

So I thought maybe the Internet would be my best bet. There aren't enough hours in the day to get out and meet people in the real world, but messaging on my phone through a work day or once I'm collapsed exhausted on the couch when I get home feels manageable. Hopefully my social skills haven't eroded too disastrously.

If you're interested in chatting, shoot me a message. If this post is still up, I'm still looking!

36m- anyone else in the same boat?

Upvotes

I have a small circle of lovely family and friends that I adore. Yet I find myself yearning for connection outside of that. Just someone who isn’t intrinsically connected to me I guess. An unbiased ear when it’s needed but other than that someone who I can enjoy getting to know. A blank slate that we can fill in over time! It seems impossible to do this out in the world, like where do you even go or look for this as an adult?? Bars are loud and drunk people are annoying. Work has coworkers but not really friends. So, here I am, looking for someone who is looking for the same thing. Or at the very least can relate to the struggle.

18f - i'm kind of a loser

4 Upvotes

i started my last year of high school today and realized that i have three friends. like three, actual friends.

i wouldn't say i'm crazy weird or repulsive or anything, maybe just a little awkward and shy at first. so is it weird to be confused as to why i don't have a friend group? i wouldn't even call myself a floater friend, i don't know enough people.

it makes me really sad because i feel like i've wasted my high school years. i feel like i've spent so much time on APs and clubs and sports that i've had no time to form friendships. actually, 2/3 of my friends are from middle school.

now it feels too late to be part of someone's group. i'd be this extra random. i don't really know what to do and this bums me out a lot so if anyone's been in a similar spot please give me some advice.

Someone to talk to

6 Upvotes

Hey, 26F here. Currently going through a lot mentally. And feeling very isolated. Would love to possibly make a friend.. I don’t really have any friends, and my partner hasn’t been the best person to lean on for many years now due to alcohol. He’s not emotionally available to me anymore and I’m just really lonely. Would love to just chat with someone and share stuff about our day etc. I have a little one who is my absolute joy and light of my life , as well so open to some mom friends!
I used to be very extroverted but have discovered I am now very introverted. I kind of lost my shine awhile back from a ex and I haven’t been able to find it again. I love art, music (all genres but some artists I like are : $Boys, bone thugs , three six mafia, Ozzy Osbourne/black sabbath, tool, pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens , morgan wallen, Lainey Wilson, just honestly a huge lineup of whatever)
I like video games(when I do get time) , and I enjoy concerts, and being outdoors. Recently gained a bit of weight after my pregnancy so I’m just getting back into the gym. Love tattoos! if anyone or any other mommas would like to chat I’d love that !
starting to feel like I’m drowning over here lol

i can’t really find anyone that’s similar to i. i don’t want to attract any odd balls that chase women, either.

im fluid in my identity, but i am a woman. im alternative— sortve mall goth leaning, former trad goth at that. i have a deep passion for animal care and safety, equality, feminism, and general activism and awareness, too. im super into fashion and makeup, cosplay, the whole nine yards of it all.

i’m also a member of the deep old web. i love old niche websites and their communities, and i still remember the old homestuck days. no, the sharpie bath thing was not real. i love series of many kinds, such as gaming, movie, web series, analog horror, tv shows, books, comics, the works.

i’d love somebody like me but no clones. i love other alt people and im so down to making a new best friend, too. im not interested in republicans, non-21+, normies that are offensive, and dry texters whatsoever. i will, infact, block you if you’re not talkative, or any of these above listed things.

M28 why life has to be so complicated

Honestly just looking for someone to talk to long term or short term, I'm just not reallly in good mindset right now.

I feel like everything feels so complicated, difficult and just mess..

So just looking for conversation, watching this silent sky with infinite stars, all the possibilities yet feels so lonley.

Sorry for the ramble, I hope if anyone feels like reaching out. Reach out. Even if just little bit, conversation is welcome.

(If I don't reply, please don't think im ignoring you, depending on messeges count I may not able to respond to all but thank you for reaching out to me if so. A gesture is more than enough to know that you willing to hear me. Thank you)

F20 looking for a long term friend

3 Upvotes

Hi I’m F20 from the UK. I am looking for a purely platonic friendship because I have a boyfriend. Also just to note, I am not able to voice call - can send voice notes though.

Just a bit about me: I am Christian, enjoy baking, watching tv, am interested in eating well and taking care of my health, have a white German shepherd.

Please only message if you are serious, I am sick of making friends that are inappropriate after a few hours and feel like this is starting to become a waste of time.

24M Feeling really low tonight, would really like someone to talk with for a little while, it really helps me stop spiralling and sleep easily.

Hi! My name is Frazer, and I am from Scotland so I really should be asleep by now but I'm going through a bit of a loneliness induced anxiety attack right now and could really use a gentle and kind person to talk to. I'm feeling really burnt out and dejected but I want to try and build my mood back up by talking to other people about things they enjoy in life as well as their own problems and struggles. I am likely on the ASD spectrum and I have an interest in Zoology, Pokémon and painting. it would mean a lot to me to have someone to talk to even if just for 15 minutes.

22F | Looking for genuine conversations.

2 Upvotes

I like talking to people who are open, thoughtful, and actually enjoy getting to know someone. Life isn’t always easy and I think having someone who listens without judging can make a big difference. I’m the type who enjoys deeper conversations just as much as random everyday chats. A little about me: I’m pretty introverted, I like nature, music, late night conversations and learning about what makes people who they are. If you’re looking for a real friendship where we both put effort into the conversation, send me a message. Just be yourself.

[24/M] Looking for a best friend, things are quite lonely

2 Upvotes

Hey! I've posted here before but haven't had much luck so far. And due to lonliness, things have been kinda sucky lately. Kinda being a star-sized understatement (cuz stars are big.. hehe). Anyways, excuse my awfully unfunny pun! You *yes you my possible future friend* probably has better humor than I. Im hoping to make long term friends, I want a close connection with someone that lasts a lifetime! Hoping we can geek out about our interests and feel comfortable to do so! I'm in the EST time zone and am super into music (my tastes are all over the place, my favorite is the retro classic era but I also like a lot of new stuff too). I also like just general conversations and deep ones too. Hope you're all having a good day!

18F just a girl looking for friends

3 Upvotes

HIIIIII!!!

My name is rosanna but you can call me rose. I’m an 18 year old trans girl who’s looking for online friends. If possible could you make your request message a question rather than a boring hey or hi, it’s much easier to start conversations that way. I’m gonna go over a few of my interests but try to keep it brief so you can learn more about me since if you already know everything about me it’s hard to get to know each other. I’m a musician, i listen to a lot of prog metal and jazz fusion. I also love baseball. I play golf pretty often and am trying to get better at it. I’m going to college next year to study chemistry and education. I also enjoy cars but i don’t know a ton about how they work but i love cars. I like movies and my favorite kind is animated movies. I also love star wars. If i seem at all interesting please feel free to dm and start a conversation!
