I’m in my 40’s and I’m not very good at judging other people or understanding motives. I used to think everyone was basically honest and kind hearted and wanted the best for the world. I learned repeatedly that’s not the case. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to figure this out. Anyway. A few years ago I met this old guy online through mutual concerns for animal welfare. Last year, we met ...

About a year and a half ago, I came home from work and heard what sounded like a band practicing across the street (crash, thump, twang, etc). I went to bed a bit early; I had a stressful day at work and just wanted to get to sleep. But, I could still hear the thump thumping of the band.

So, I went through my head what to do.... in my experiences in the past, dealing ...

Therapy, meds and crying it out - a LOT...has made me learn more about myself. I seem to have an issue with falling for Narcissistic men. I had never even heard of the word before my therapist told me years ago.

The past SEVEN men in my life were narcs. I didn’t know it at the time but now I am trying to work on myself as an empath + BPD.

So, since my last ...

I will try to make this short.

I'm relatively recently broken up with a partner over 6 years because they were unfaithful (multiple times).

She had exhibited flirtatious behavior since the beginning of our relationship, but I wrote it off as it just being part of her personality (which I guess wasn't untrue...)

Things that started to become common for her:

- chatting with guys inappropriately on social media/text etc.
- flirting with them in ...

This is long, sorry!


I (38)have been together with my boyfriend (38) for 11 years. I lost my job and had to look for a new one, after a year of searching I finally found one but in the capital 3 hours away by car.

we decided he would follow me. Shortly after I moved he got a promotion. I was happy and foolishly told him he doesn't need to move immediately, he could stay ...

Hi. I have a codependant girlfriend (eB.), we both love eachother. But there is another girl in the mix, also a codependant I think (O.) and also in love with me. Both girls eB. and O. are codependantly bonded to eachother, they are inseperable and always together. They each dont know about the others feeling for me yet.

eB. treats O. as way more important than me, the one she loves, I think becouse of ...

hello..since when i was very little i've had family restrictions in my interaction with other children. i always was extremely needy and dependent and craved a lot of interaction with people around my age group, usualy older or younger a few years.however all my childhood i was motivated to regard others in a very self centered detached egoistical competitive way and see them as enemies and competitors, or as somehow unatainable, detached. my family made ...

I am curious and appreciate any insight and thoughts on my scenario.

I met a girl 2.5 months ago who we are both 43. It was slow the first few dates as we were getting to know one another. then we really hit it off. It was great and we enjoyed every minute together, did fun things, and sexually was great as well.

We even began to make gestures (kinda in jest) about a future ...

I am in a relationship for over 4 years now and my partner(male) seems to have all characteristics of histrionic personality disorder and I am not able to cope with him anymore.
When we met and fell in love, he was still in relationship with his ex which i did not know and found out by accident. afterwards i wanted to breakup but somehow he convinced me that he had ended it but only being ...

So someone close to me claims to know what my wants and needs are. Which ticks me off to be frank. I know what I need. I never decide what others needs.

They're seeing a therapist. Who claims posts are only a want. I call that person ignorant. Because, honestly, I don't think they really get some people that have to express themselves in an online environment. This is something I believe I have more ...
