My SO (m37) won’t post pic with me (f35) even after 2.5 years of relationship.

I have a wonderful and loving relationship with my SO. He is just wonderful and this is the best relationship I’ve ever been in.

I have no other complains and this leads me to think I am being picky with this specific complaint. He has never posted a picture of us together….

we’ve done sooo many cool and fun things and he has never posted a picture of us (although he’s posted pictures of things we were doing and places we were at like vacations etc).

It bothers me because he does have many pictures of himself, some pictures with his parents and he used to have a picture with 3 of his friends, one of them being a girl.

I know this is stupid, I really do, but I can’t help to feel like after 2.5 years I am not good enough to post a picture of us even on one of those statuses that delete after 24hrs.

I’ve met all his friends, his whole comunity, his family (distant and immediate). The first time I posted a picture of us together on my Instagram he texted his best friends saying “I made it to her story!” So he obviously sees it as an important thing.

I have told him this bothers me but he just brushes it off. It’s lead me to delete all the pictures I had of us on my IG just to not feel like an idiot.

When i ask about it, he says he is a private person. In all fairness he has not posted a picture since we met but he has posted statuses… idk.

Am I being crazy?

I just got a significant pay raise and now my family is asking me for financial favors

I (21M) was making $28k a year in an entry level position in retail. I recently switched careers and landed in a mid-level management position for $52k + benefits. It’s no cushy office job, but I can at least afford all of my expenses.

I shared my good news with my ‘family’. (Maybe I should mention my family is by no means rich or even middle class). I had always considered supporting some of the less fortunate ones of my family should and when I do land a cushy office job, but $52k is not a shareable income.

My cousin (17M) complained about how his phone is acting up and wanted to know if I could help a bro out. His phone (iPhone 7) is just fine, but slow.

This was just 2 days after sharing the news. I’m sure all the family that I don’t even talk to often will come out of the woodwork to complain about problems of this same caliber expecting me to help.

I’m just so frustrated.

I’m a 29-year-old woman who never had a boyfriend. I am tired of feeling lonely and miserable. I see my dreams of having a family fading away.

I’m 29. I’m a physician. I’ve always been a nerd, until the whole Ugly Duckling thing happened to me during puberty and I became what people call “a very attractive lady”.

I’ve always been worried about becoming a good doctor and a good professional. Perhaps that was my mistake because I spent way too many years of my life studying and trying to be great in college and university.

Thing is… Years have passed by, I was rejected for many men because yes I am shy, introverted and don’t smile that often, and I have never had a boyfriend, a proper date, let alone had someone tell me he fell in love for me. My love life is zero. NADA.

I feel like I am wasting my youth in stupid professional quests and the personal life I wanted to have is going away. I just want a family in the end. I want children. I want to love my children and teach them about the world. I want to have a husband and make him happy, I want him to leave work and think “I am so glad I am going home to meet my wife, that makes my day better”.

Yet I don’t have any of this. My ambitions are very simple and mundane, and yet I can’t have them. People say I intimidate men for being “too beautiful and too successful”. I can’t believe them. I just think I may seem to be a rude or a very desperate woman who repels men.

Before you talk about hobbies… I have tried basically anything to pursue my passions and hobbies. I have joined so many courses and activities I am exhausted now. I didn’t spend my life locked in the basement.

I have tried every possible course, class, activitie, hobbie I liked in order to meet new people. I speak multiple languages, I swim, I can cook, I have a MBA certificate, I’m a certified professional make up artist, I have taken photography and drawing classes. I have tried online dating, too. And it was an awful experience. 99,9% of men there only wanted casual hookups and weren’t that interested in me.

I am tired of all this. I am not asking much. Yet it seems that I can’t have these simple things I’m asking. I just want to have a FAMILY, that’s all. And it’s absurdly hard for me.

I sometimes see my mother looking at me with a pitiful look and it crushes me. She said it already, she said that she feels sorry for me.

She’s always asking “But isn’t there a nice guy where you work, a guy you could date?” I feel that my mother doesn’t talk much about it in order not to hurt me, but I feel she’s worried as well. And perhaps a little sad and disappointed.

My friends don’t even ask me about guys anymore. They used to ask, a few years ago, if I had met any interesting men. They have stopped asking this.

I’ll be turning 30 this year, and I couldn’t make my personal life work so far. In 30 years, I couldn’t meet the man of my life and couldn’t have a family. I couldn’t even have a proper date. I didn’t even have a guy ask me out.

I feel like a failure. Yes, I feel like complete shit.

I just wish I knew how to feel better about myself, while I don’t find anyone. It’s been a long time since I felt genuinely happy about myself.

i (18f) am 5 months pregnant and i have to force my fiance (20m) to shower, brush his teeth, etc.

i am pregnant and my fiance won’t take care of basic hygiene etc tasks on his own. i’m really exhausted and i need to know where to go from here.

i am 5 months pregnant. my fiancé is an amazing man and i love him with all of my heart. we have been together about two years now. i truly intend to spend the rest of my life with him, but this is really affecting me and i don’t know what to do.

our entire relationship i have had to basically be a mother to him. i have to tell him to brush his teeth, to change his clothes, to shower, take his medicine, to do his schoolwork. i have to wake him up and tell him when to go to bed.

the worst thing is that i have to argue with him to get him to complete these tasks. if i don’t force him to do these things, he simply doesn’t.

once i didn’t remind him to do these things because frankly i was exhausted and i wanted to see if maybe he’d step up.

i think he went about 4 days without showering or changing his clothes before i finally couldn’t take the smell anymore and i made him shower. it’s so draining and i’ve just been keeping it bottled up for so long. i also have to beg him to help me clean.

i have been extremely patient and understanding. however, keep in mind he works a full time job and is well above average intelligence. i believe he is fully capable of doing these things on his own, maybe i’m wrong, i don’t know.

every once in a while i have asked him to try to work on it, to set reminders on his phone if that would help him. i have always held a calm tone and been nothing but supportive and kind. i have never shamed him.

but today i had enough. he was arguing with me about not wanting to brush his teeth. i told him that i was done being his mother, that he was an adult and that i feel he is fully capable of taking care of himself.

i told him i felt like when my son is born i was scared i’d be taking care of both him and the newborn all by myself. i told him i would no longer be reminding him because i was exhausted.

he said i couldn’t just suddenly leave him to fend for himself; i said i disagreed and that he should be able to perform basic tasks. i feel bad for it but i asked him if he would even be able to take care of our son when he couldn’t take care of himself. he got really quiet after that. i feel so bad.

i love him with everything in me but i just can’t do this anymore. i’m pregnant, i’m hormonal, i’ve been doing this for so long and i’m tired.

any advice is appreciated. don’t know where to go from here. thank you for taking the time to read this.
