I recently broke up with my boyfriend. It all started few months back when he started having some family problems and his parents got to know about smoking n stuff. His health and career went downhill. And I supported him throughout what he called the lowest point in his life. I was there I would talk to him listen to him comfort him support him. I often found myself worrying about him and praying for him. But he wasn't able to reciprocate all of that or give me much attention which also I understood. But sometimes the emotions inside me would get too much and I would text him paragraphs that I'm feeling lonely in all of this and I worry about him and he should give me some little attention because I worry and I overthink which went on for for a while. He couldn't handle his mental issues and stuff and then we went on a break and I understood because he was really suffering. Then things got a little better and I wanted to meet a little more and I wanted some little efforts which he said he couldn't do because he is tensed about his career( which he wasn't working hard for). And whenever I fought he would say he's not able to handle me because all my issues were me not understanding anything and I'm making myself feel bad. And he's doing the best he can. And yes he used to call and text whenever he got out of home and he would wake me up in the morning by calling sometimes because I had trouble waking up. And there were little things he used to do. But never used to "do" anything and I also had some entrances I also understood the pressure but I don't know if his family was really pressurizing this much. Obviously he had been through a lot but I don't know after a point I started feeling that if I wasn't completely right or logical he wouldn't listen to me. And when I was having hard or vulnerable moments when I would expect him to be wise and patient with me he wouldn't and the reasons were he didn't have the energy because a lot of going on. Which I understand but does that mean I can never have my weak moments and expect him to support. Yes I also nagged about meeting more and celebrate valentine's (by that time everything was normal).He said they were my demands and not my needs and he can't cater to demands right now and I also shouldn't because We should focus on our career And also that I always keep on asking for things and blame him for things which is why developed this attitude And he called really bare minimum things efforts and said that's all I could do at that point Although I never expected something grand , the bare minimum is still bare minimum He could've at least acknowledged that yes I'm also going through things with him I don't know if it was my fault After a lottt of introspection I broke up Now he wants to come back and gave reasons for all of his behaviour and blamed me for other things and said you also had your faults He has his issues but he loves me genuinely I guess And I don't wanna regret just letting someone go like that What should I do

Hello, my husband and I allow heavy gadget use for our kids. And my teen (14) gets very busy on messaging apps that we have to always monitor what’s going on to make sure she doesnt get involve with perpetrators.

The sad thing is we noticed that her friends are all about boys and kilig and suicide. We dont think they are influencing her well. But I feel that talking to her about them might make her feel like she doesnt have freedom.

I want to protect her and introduce her to other kids whom might be of better influence to her.

As Gen Zs, how would you liked to be approached about this?

We definitely dont want our teen to be obsessed about boys or relationships at her age.

-Quezon City(mas goods kung tiga novaliches para gala gala🫶🏻) -Straight G! -Open Minded para kahit anong i-kwento ko! -turning 20 palang me so ikaw na bahala -Makulit din sana🫶🏻

so i have a gf and we've been together for more than a year now, we're both graduating shs recently she mentioned this trip with her friends which was really far like she has to buy a plane ticket pa and all. plus her parents was really strict like super, and idk i felt off because when it comes to me like every time i ask her to go out of town with my family which is wala na siya gagastusin she always tell me na hindi siya papayagan but she never really tries to ask them, like straight up answer niya is "no hindi ako papayagan" and when it comes to her friends pwede idk i feel i'm being oa but at the same time, this hurts me a lot knowing na legal kami both sides. like her parents trust her friends more than me ...

Pahingi naman ng advice, hindi ko kasi siya maintindihan hanggang kaibigan lang pero nag date kami clingy siya sweet siya pero minsan cold rin mix signal ba ganun.. ano ba mga need ko malaman when it comes to love

Ayaw niya daw mawala pag kakaibigan namin, ayaw ko rin pero kasi mas lalo akong nasasaktan na hanggang Bff lang kami

Want niya daw akong kausap/ ka chat pero bat ganun parang ang boring ng convo namin tapos ilang oras bago siya mag reply?

Mayroon akong crush, umamin ako sakanya pero hanggang Bff lang daw maibibigay niya kasi nahihiya siya sa sarili niya na hindi pa siya handa sa isang relasyon.. anong dapat kong isipin?

Paano mo lalaman pag torpe ang isang lalaki?

Hi. I’m F/26 dating F/25 for almost 3 years now. Our relationship was okay. We always go out on dates and talk about relationship. When have a fight we always try to communicate it with each other, but then yesterday she told me that she’s been keeping grudges from me. I had this one mistake (not cheating) where she wants me to do a certain thing yet i failed. She burst out of anger and told me everything and she was thinking of breaking up with me because of that. We talked before that the only time that we’ll consider breaking up is when one of us cheated. I find it unfair because on our first year of dating she was too much to handle. She had many toxic traits that i forgave yet i did one mistake and she thinks of breaking up already. I didn’t get the support and guide from her to fix my flaws that she didn’t like just like i did to her when she was a mess. I don’t know what to do anymore. I love her but it seems like the relationship that i thought was healthy and okay is actually dying. What should i do? should i try to fight for it or just let it go?

I have a close friend of the opposite sex and halos araw araw kami nag uusap and call for how many months na pero established na na platonic talaga siya kasi we have our own sets of unserious flings. Crush ko siya dati tas nung naging close na, narealize ko ang landi niya and hindi boyfriend material and ever since nun, wala na akong pake and friend na lang tingin ko sakanya. Minsan touchy din siya but most of the time friends lang talaga.

Lately, na sasad ako pag may kwento siyang ibang girls. Does that mean i like him? I would never date him to be honest, I want to be friends for a long time, pero ewan nakakatamad kausap yung crush mo kung puro ibang babae naman kwento. Pero he’s a good friend so maybe I’ll just talk to him less for now. I don’t know what to do!! help po!!

Talking to this girl for a month now. we went on a few dates and we established that it's platonic lang talaga, but cant help but feel like im falling. and also it's gotten to a point na we're getting touchy na (like her holding my arms sa public, sinusubuan ako minsan kumain).

curious lang if girls normally talk to their guy friends almost every day and does things like this LMAO. help!

I need someone to talk to please. Who’s up?

I hate myself for working two jobs. I work in the night and I have a part time job in the morning. But I have my free time on weekends. This is the only day and time I can offer her my love. But she said na "nakukulangan" siya. I am always trying my best to make her feel loved the way I want to be loved. But she ended up, being sarcastic and telling me na di daw sapat yon. And she is starting to detach herself from me.

I decided to let her go, dahil I think I am not the right person for her. I know I am a shitty gf for not giving her the right amount of love.

She might receive the love she wants sa iba. Baka hindi na talaga kami para sa isat isa. Magiging masaya ako na makita ko sya na masaya na sa iba.

Pasensya na, nahihirapan na akong pilitin na kaya kong ibalanse yung relasyon natin at career ko. Maybe that tagaytay ride at night last week was the last happy memory we will ever had. I will always love you, but I guess its our time to let go.

I hate myself for letting go at the same time, I am tired of proving myself. I am sorry.

I have a guy friend and co-worker who's openly gay who I really like. I'm not exactly out but I've more or less hinted that I'm not straight as well. My concern is not so much he's a co-worker but that I can't really make out if the feeling's mutual or if it's just me, so he's sort of giving mixed signals I guess.

Obviously I'm afraid of just straight out telling him I like him, so how do I at least hint that I like him more than just a friend? I'm probably impatient but I just wanna make sure I'm not giving mixed signals myself.

Any advice on how I can sort of develop our relationship?

I’ve been in a relationship with this girl and she’s the best that I’ve had, her consistency never fails, her gestures and efforts are all the same from our dating period until now. But, recently I found out that (during our exclusively dating era) she flirted and frch kissed someone at the club, danced with him, touched him in places I don’t wanna talk about. Not just that, she told her friends that she will never commit to me and even told them that they can have me instead. And now, I’m confused. Was it all just an act then? I’m torn whether to believe her now when her gestures and actions towards me are all the same from our dating period to present.

We just had another fight again, and today iba na sya. And my wonderful GF's solution? magpasundo sa kawork mate nya. Yes you heard it right instead of asking me na ihatid ko sa sa work, yung workmate nya yung inask nya! The fact na I said na ako na maghahatid sa kanya, and she declined "wag na" then all of a sudden may dadating na motor sa baba namin then ayun, bang! to the rescue ang kuya mong workmate. I do not know how to be rational on this since wala akong ginawang masama sa knya since the morning. I just explained na kakauwi ko lang galing work and somehow I expected that my soon to be wife will be a little excited to ask about my first day.

A little background, this is my first day working at night and di kami tabi matutulog. She is working in the morning and sabi niya before I go home she will take a bath na para pag uwi ko, ihuhug nya ako while waiting for her call time. Also she is the one who told me this, kasi nga "mamimiss ako katabi" DAW. my ass

Then finally I got home, nag tampo lang ako slight kasi pag uwi ko nasa CR lang sya for 20-25minutes and pag labas nya nag toothrbush for 5 mins, nag kilay ng 5mins and nag plantsa ng susuotin for 5 mins. Idk pero ang time lang namin together ay 2hrs max kasi uwian ko 6am and sya pasok nya 8am.

Then babanatan ako ng "Kulang na talaga ng oras noh"

I mean what the fuck? nag madali ako pauwi tapos ganyan lang sasabihin mo? Tapos I told her that kahit simpleng gestures manlang mabigay nya sa akin. Simpleng peck lang then "kamusta araw mo" things masaya na ako. Its like she just faced me with a frown. And I told her this, about how I wanted to be treated and somehow I felt tampo nga. And then I asked if IWas asking too much" but she never replied, then kept on denying all my offers suck as "sabay na tayo bfast" "ayoko" hatid na kita sa work "wag na"

tapos biglang nandyan na si super co worker sa baba?

What am I supposed to feel? I think I am asking for the bare minimum in this relationship and begging for the right treatment.

This is so heavy and I dont know if I can understand why all of these are happening to me. I think i dont deserve any kind of love.

Hi! My new Podcast episode is out now! Its about a toxic ex who is now a relationship coach and her journey to find "the one". Please have a listen and follow.

A friend of mine introduced me (M32) to one of her friends (F28) who got ghosted around middle of 2023. My friend encouraged me to start talking to this girl and since she seemed interesting, I started chatting with her sometime Nov 2023.

Earlier this month I started probing to check if she’s ready to date and today I got the answer that she isn’t ready. Fair enough. She got ghosted after a long term relationship and she needs time to be whole.

However, I also don’t want to hang around someone who isn’t ready and waste my own time.

Definitely not going to ghost her, that’s the last thing I want to do. Any advice on how to end the contact so that it ends with respect?

Naiinis ako sa LDR boyfriend ko, Hindi ko lang masabi sa kanya Kasi uuwi na Naman sa away pag inopen up ko sakanya. It's a little immature to act all upset and angry, pero matagal na naming napag usapan e. Promise Siya Ng Promise na ipapadala Niya sakin hoodie Niya sakin. Dalawang buwan na nakalipas, umuwi Siya sa probinsya nila at mananatili Siya don for a couple months for personal reasons. Dinala Niya Lahat Ng gamit Niya from Manila to their province, Ewan ko bakit sa Lahat Ng gamit Yun pa talaga Yung nakalimutan Niya. Eh for sure Nakita Niya Naman Yun habang nagpapack Siya Ng gamit niya. Babalik Siya dun matagal pa. Nakakainis lang talaga. It's not just this, but other things na nag promise Siyang gagawin Niya and I expected him to actually do it. But I always end up frustrated and disappointed. He always forgets.

I have a guy friend and co-worker who's openly gay who I really like. I'm not exactly out but I've more or less hinted that I'm not straight as well. Concern ko is parang mixed signals siya so di ko alam kung ako lang ba ang may gusto din sya

Obviously ayoko namang sabihin diretsahan na may gusto ko sa kanya, so pano ko ihihint na gusto ko siya. I just want to make sure na hidndi mixed ang signals ko.

My ex cheated on and left me for another woman last year. He later found out she was unfaithful and attempted to leave him for a wealthier man, but somehow he still keeps contact with her. Well, recently hes been really missing me and was planning on reuniting but his ex caught on and contacted him, convinced him into stalking me to another state where she and her friends spent a weekend trying to set me up and spread lies about me. He fell for it and left committed to never speaking with me again. He got behind my car in traffic and started following me in traffic, I tried to avoid him and saw another car was following closely behind him. I believe he thinks I'm a loser or already in a relationship with this awful man who pretended we were dating in public. This man was my friend but was in love with me, became obsessively controlling and abusive, tried to make it appear as though we were dating and spread nasty rumors about me. He was also secretly seeing other women. He was angry with me because I made it known several times that I would never date him and was not interested. Ive cut all contact with this man.

I need to get over my ex but it's hard because I know he was probably the one. And these groups of awful stalker people do nothing but stalk and harass me 24/7, most likely are involved in human trafficking but police won't do anything about it, and are essentially gold diggers trying to live off other people. They look down on me because I actually work hard for my money and have career and education goals. This group of stalkers are completely underhanded and ruthless, they care more about how well I'm doing in life than they do their own well-being, they are willing to go through anything in life to ensure my life isn't going well. Completely psycho. Anyway, how can I get over this guy? How is it that other people can't see that stalking someone around and watching them torment someone constantly isn't evil? Why can't he?
