This guy(m20) said he’s going to pursue my(m20) girlfriend(f19)

I’ve been with my girlfriend since September, we met at our college. My girlfriend is a very pretty girl and just amazing over all. She has lots of friends and lots of people want to be her friend bc she’s just cool and real and fun. This includes guys. She had a very small fling with this guy Carson last year. I didn’t go to this school last year so I don’t really know the details and seriousness to it, but according to her friends there were no feelings involved. At parties they would say hi, maybe catch up, they have lots of mutual friends, but have never hung out. In the beginning of us dating she was seeing other guys and I think Carson may have been one of them. A few weeks ago I said some stupid shit at a party and me and my gf got in a fight and she took off. Guess who was there to save the day and drive her home, Carson.

I live on campus, my girlfriend has an apartment with her friends. I see Carson at the dining hall a lot and last week he followed me outside to talk. He then said that he’s very interested in my girlfriend and thinks he has a fair shot with her. Then said some dumb shit that he had her first and can get her again, and he will. This made me super angry but I tried to keep my composure the best I could. I immediately drove to my girl’s place and she wasn’t home but her friends were so I told them about what Carson said. They told me that I have nothing to worry about and that there’s no way he could even come close to ruining our relationship. They told me not to mention it to my gf because she’s been super stressed out lately and not doing good and it would just make her more stressed.

We went to a club the other night and Carson and his boys were there of course. Every chance he got to be near my gf or talk to her, he took. He kept flashing me some dumbass smirks. I’ve had to work nights this week and my girlfriend and her friends went to two parties. At both parties her friend texted me saying Carson was there and he was trying to make moves. I’m not worried that she would cheat on me, but she does drink excessively. She drinks like a linebacker and almost always blacks out and can’t understand anything. Me and Carson look kind of similar, the only major difference is I’m taller than him. He seems like the type of guy who would try to sleep with her when she’s that fucked up and can’t even see straight. He’s also staying here this summer and she’s staying for the first half while I’m going back to my home state 2,000 miles away. I don’t know what to do. He clearly isn’t gonna stop trying to get with her and of course he’s going the “nice guy/friend/savior” route. I guess I should just tell her what’s going on but even with her knowing I can’t trust that he’s not gonna try and take advantage of her. This guy is a serious dick and he knows he’s pissing me off and he’s not gonna stop. I seriously need advice. I love my girlfriend and I seriously see a future with us. I don’t want her to think I’m being jealous or paranoid and then it cause a rift and he’s her shoulder to cry on.

TLDR: my girlfriends old fwb is trying to break up our relationship and get with my gf

FB relationship status after divorce…

I’m dating someone new for only two months now. (43/m and 40/f) He said he was divorced nearly 3 years ago and moved out of his marital home into a new one. They have joint custody of 2 teen boys and says they have a great co-parenting relationship.

Out of curiosity one day I looked at the “ex-wife’s” FB b/c they are still friends…her status still says “married since 2010”, she’s been recently active and all the wedding pics are still up. I mentioned that I thought the status was odd 2 weeks ago and if they were only separated. He said it was finalized, and today the status remains unchanged.

Is this a red flag?

TL/DR: New boyfriends ex wife still has her FB status set to married. Should I just ignore?

I (24F) made a friend (19M) online, who wants to talk everyday and all day long but I can’t offer them that constant level of communication.

We have been in constant communication for about 3 and a half months now and I find that our friendship is overall wholesome and supportive and we share a lot in common. These are traits that I am not able to fully find in my other friendships.

There are however limitations to our friendship which are that, we have never met, we live in different parts of the world and we are likely never going to meet each other. I have also never seen what he looks like and nor heard what he sounds like.

While I appreciate the friendship and the emotional support it offers, I am in general not comfortable spending my whole day talking to someone. At the beginning, I did allowed myself to indulge in lengthy conversations throughout the day but it was messing up my daily routine and sleep schedule. So, over the past couple of weeks, I have reeling this back to focus on myself.

Yesterday was a Saturday and I carved out an 1 hour in the morning to talk to him while I was in a coffee shop. When I was done at the coffee shop I let him know I was heading home and he told me to text him when I got home and I did exactly that, I texted him and let him know that I was going to charge my phone. Later in the evening he texted me something along line of “have you gone MIA again?” And that kinda pissed me off because it made me feel like he expects constant communication and if I am free I should be texting him. Which is annoying because sometimes I just wanna chill on my own.

I am looking for a second opinion on this.Am I being a shitty friend in this situation? How do kindly let him know that I don’t wanna talk everyday and all day, without sounding like a b*tch?

Tl;dr: my friend wants to talk everyday and all day but I can’t offer him that. He is starting to get annoying about it.

I (21f) think my bf (27m) lied to me

When I first met my bf, I mentioned wanting to draw him. He said, "I tried to draw myself once! Wanna see?" And showed me a painting of himself.

Several months later, when he was moving stuff around, I found that painting face down. On the back, it had a note from his ex, saying she loved him, that the painting was for him. But I couldn't remember if he had said "this is a painting of me" or "I did this painting."

Well, I just now got the answer. I was going through our old texts because I miss him, and I found him saying "I did this painting".

I'm pretty upset at the idea that he would lie to me. I understand that maybe, if your ex is still a person you care about, you'd keep a really nice present they gave you. But why would he lie and say he painted it? It gives me a bad taste in my mouth.

Tldr: bf said he painted something but I figured out it was from his ex

My(24M) GF’s (22F) younger brother calls her a Wh*re in front of her family.

So I have been with this really nice girl for about 7 months now. Let’s call her Blue.

Now Blue lives with her family. She has two brothers and parents. Her older brother(in his late 20’s) moved out very long ago. He’s married too. Let’s call him X. Her younger brother(16) lives with the family too. Let’s call him Y. Blue works in a cafe. The main reason that Blue still lives with her family is because Blue is not very financially independent. She’s doesn’t earns a lot and slightly depends on her family.

Now I knew about Blue’s family behaviour towards her. I knew they were really mean to her, they treat her so bad. And they really want her to move out of their house. Now I was in her place last week just went to pick her up and I ended up going to her house. Now Y just shouted at her for a small mistake she did and called her a dumb wh*re in front of her parents. Her mom just laughed and agreed with him.

This isn’t the only insult she gets. They call her really bad names and humiliate her so much. We talked about it earlier many times.

Now about me, I’m in my final year of college and I already got an internship at a very good tech company and the probability is very high that they would hire me permanently. So right now I’m getting paid well enough that I can get a place for us. It would be not that big but still she can move in with me.

I told her this news last week. She’s was really happy and excited about it. I mean she was literally jumping around. But idk what happened, just yesterday she called me and told that she can’t move in with me. Now I know how much she wants to move out from that house and suddenly out of nowhere she’s doesn’t want to.

I, of course asked her why but she is just ignoring my question. Now she’s a very nice and caring girl. She’s works very hard at her job and sacrifice many things for others. Now I’m thinking her parents must have said something to her about moving with me.

Now X is different than the family. He’s a nice guy and probably the only one in her family who actually cares about Blue. So I’m thinking of telling X what I just told you all and listen to him. I’m really positive he would be on my side. And if he agrees than it would be easy to convince Blue.

Now I don’t know how to feel about it. For some reason, I’m feeling a lot of guilt. I mean all she wanted earlier was to live together with me and now she don’t. About our relationship, it’s going very fine. I met her at the same cafe where she’s works. So I don’t think, she’s not moving with me because of our relationship.

(Apologies if there’s any mistake in my English. Not my first language)

TL;DR : My GF’s younger brother called her a wh*re infront of her parents and her mom just laugh about it. They call her many names and humiliate her. They want her to move out of their house. My GF is not financially independent, so she can’t move out. I got a good job offer coming who pays me well enough to buy us a place. She was excited at first but she declined later. I’m thinking it’s because of her family. What to do now?
