Ex acted weird all night but then she became clingy when I had to leave and I’m now confused

My (20F) ex and I (21M) where together for a year. We broke up around March, tried to make it work and finally called it quits completely at the end of June.

We both agreed we wanted to stay friends and made plans to meet up ourselves to talk about everything.

We went out shopping together, it was causal enough that we could talk and we did talk. Half way through our trip I asked if she wanted to get food before heading home and she instead invited me over so we could order food.

We ended up at her house and we ordered some fast food and watched a movie. During the movie I ensured we had plenty of distance between us to which she changed by moving closer to me and cuddling into my side.

We spent the night talking some more and she asked me to stay the night and I did. When I agreed to stay the night she kissed me which surprised me. After this night we spoke some more but I never brought up the topic of the kiss.

A few days later I mentioned to her that I was bored and she invited me over again. I happily went over to hers as she mentioned us watching another movie and just chilling out.

However, when I went over this time she was completely different. This time I made the first move to put my arm around her and she declined so I put space between us and just focused on the movie the entire time.

I had told her before I came over that I had work the next day and wanted to be home by 1am at the latest. Midnight rolled around and our movie ended, I made a move to get up to call a taxi to which she decided she wanted to cuddle now. We lay together for about 15 minutes before I told her I had to head home and she looked disappointed.

I called my taxi and she showed me out and let her dog run about her garden while we waited. When my taxi finally arrived she pulled me in for a hug and when I pulled away she pulled me back in to kiss her. I was once again shocked and it was brief but when I pulled away she kissed me again.

TLDR - my ex and I are trying to be friends. She invited me over and cuddled with me the entire night and asked me to stay over and kissed me. The next time she invited me over she refused to cuddle but when I went to leave she wanted to cuddle and kissed me goodbye.

I am so confused

GF’s(22f) dad pressed me(23m) of almost 3 years about future plans/money

Hi, everyone I am hoping you guys can give me some advice on this. I was helping out at my gf’s family owned business and her dad pulled up in front of me and asked me if I loved her. I said yea and he was like imma be straight up with you and basically said along the lines of what can you offer…as in cause I’m making too little and I don’t got a house or any assets. He said he wants her to be absolutely stress free in the future and have a good life. He also asked me what my future plans were but I really don’t know currently what I wanted to do. I just recently graduated college and had been trying to figure out what I wanted to do.

I’m planning to go back to school if I’m not making enough money in my current job to do better but I didn’t say it cause I was in a stressful situation and was absolutely blindsided. Mind you, while he was talking…my gf was standing right next to me and she did not say a word…

What should I have done in the situation, would it have been better if I just said imma work harder? I’m really lost right now…

Thank you for listening

TLDR: gf dad had a discussion with me about that I can’t offer anything for her as I was making too little and didn’t know what my future plans were.

You’re not taking the dog! How pet custody battles turned nasty

You’ve divided up the crockery, the books, the albums – but how do you split your beloved pets? As more and more cases end up in court, animal lovers share tales of dog eat dog

All Emma wants is to see her baby. Not even half the time, or at weekends, or in the holidays. The odd walk in the park would do, or a day at the beach. Emma misses her. She thinks about her all the time. She wonders if Luna has forgotten about her and, if she has, whether that’s for the best. The thought of Luna thinking that Emma abandoned her breaks her heart.

The last time she saw Luna was in mid 2021. Emma, who is in her 30s and works in social care in the south-west of England, travelled to where her ex lives, to see her. “She was so happy and excited to see me,” Emma says. “It was lovely. But he wouldn’t let me see her by myself.” They spent an hour together and as they were saying goodbye, Emma told Luna how much she loved her. Afterwards, Emma sat in the car and cried.

I (f26) like to spoil my SO (m26) but I want to be spoiled too.

We have been dating a year or so and this relationship confuses me. On the one hand we have good physical chemistry and our emotional chemistry is decent but requires quite a bit of effort and work. Our world views are quite different sometimes and I'm not sure how well he gets me.

I love to spoil the person I'm with and I'm a hopeless romantic. In the beginning he would try and spoil me too and it just fizzled out in a couple of months once he "had" me. I hate that this happened and I know that that's how a lot of relationships go. But I disagree that this is how it should be. I know that on my part I put in a lot of effort into dates and little surprises and doing sweet things for him and it feels like he does not reciprocate. He would rather take a passive role on that front in our relationship.

I realize that communication is important here but a part of me dies when I have to ask to be made to feel special to him. I feel like in a relationship we should want to and make a consistent effort to make the other person feel good. I don't think that's something he thinks about or actively works on at all.

It feels very transactional when I have to consistently reiterate and remind him what I want. I wish he would take more of an effort to remember.

What should I do and where do I go from here? Is it ridiculous for me to expect more?

TL;DR : I feel a little neglected by my partner and wish he would spend a little more time on making an effort to spoil/ treat me with gifts/ dates/ surprises and sweet gestures. I hate having to ask repeatedly.

What to do with my anxiety?

Hi all! Hoping you can help because it’s absolutely crushing me.

I’ve (M32) been dealing with post-Covid anxiety since I recovered back in Decemeber. I get random anxiety spikes and it’s been affecting me for so long. One aspect that the anxiety is affecting me is with my relationship. I’m seeing this absolutely amazing girl for almost 2 years now (F32). She’s beautiful, ambitious, and has an absolute heart of gold and our relationship has been a dream. To me, she’s the one. But when I’ve been anxious, I’ve been having very scary thoughts- am I into the relationship, do I love her, am I attracted to her, etc. I know in my heart that I do, but my mind keeps trying to tell me otherwise. When I think about her, I get spikes in anxiety. When I talk/facetime her, I get a wave of anxiety that comes and goes.

Whenever this happens, it breaks my heart. I get so emotional and get on the verge of tears or even actually cry because that’s not how I feel and I don’t want this anxiety to be here. We are planning to move in together in a few months and I can’t wait to begin this new step with her, but at the same time, my anxiety is sort of pushing away some of the excitement.

This anxiety comes on the moment I wake up. It also occurs during work and when I’m not doing anything, but it’s most prevalent when I think about my relationship. This happened back in February as well out of nowhere and luckily went away. I’m trying to shake it but I feel like I have no control over it.

Any thoughts? I love this girl to death and to me, she’s the love of my life. I’ve communicated how I’ve been feeling and she’s been so supportive. I just want to feel how I feel without this anxiety!

TL;DR - Got Covid, now have this weird anxiety that’s making me rethink my relationship with my fantastic girlfriend for no reason at all.
