Full-Time Surveillance? 😤🔍

Ever since I moved in with my boyfriend in Chicago, my life feels like a reality show where trust is the prize and I’m always losing. He wants our apartment to look like a model home, while I just want to crash after teaching all day. The worst part? He opens my mail and packages, pretending it’s for recycling—but let’s be real, it feels like snooping! He needs a play-by-play of my day, and if I leave out a single detail, he gets all moody and distant. Our arguments are endless, and intimacy is slipping away. He even packed away my farewell gifts from work without asking, so now I can’t even remember who gave me what. Is it normal to feel like your personal space is under attack? How do you even begin to rebuild trust and set boundaries when everything feels like a battle? Please tell me I’m not the only one losing my mind here! 😩🤯 Confide in me—what would you do? #relationshipstruggles #trustissues #livingtogether #RomanticRelationships

I was told to live with my boyfriend's mother?! 😳🏠

So, my boyfriend and I finally decided to move in together after five years of friendship turned romance. We even found a three-bedroom place in Brooklyn—perfect for our little offices and occasional guests. But out of nowhere, he asks his mom to move in, right in front of me! No heads-up, no discussion. His reason? She’s struggling with addiction and he wants to keep an eye on her. I get it, but this wasn’t our plan. I feel blindsided, frustrated, and honestly, a bit betrayed. I wanted this move to be about us, not more chaos. Am I being selfish for wanting our own space? Or is it fair to want boundaries? How do couples rebuild trust after something like this? Please, tell me I’m not alone in feeling this way! 😤🤯🤡 #RelationshipDrama #TrustIssues #LivingTogether #RomanticRelationships

Is It Love or Just a Free Ride? My Partner Won't Pay Rent! 🤡🏠

So here’s my situation: I (43F) own a house in Austin, thanks to a generous early inheritance from my dad. My partner (47M) moved in after his year-long volunteer gig, and I didn’t ask for a dime until he found work. Once he did, I set a super reasonable rent—$500 a month, way below market rate. But getting him to pay is like pulling teeth! Now he earns more than me, I asked for $800, and he flipped out. He still only pays half, if that, and never helps with bills or even buys toilet paper. When I bring it up, he claims it’s unfair since it’s not his house. Meanwhile, I’m sinking into debt and starting to feel like I’m being taken for granted. I’m angry, confused, and honestly, exhausted. Is this normal? Am I the bad guy for expecting him to contribute? Or is he just using me? Please, tell me I’m not crazy! 😤🤯🧻 #relationshipstruggles #trustissues #livingtogether #RomanticRelationships

My Boyfriend’s Brother Is Creeping Me Out 😳🔍

Living with my boyfriend was supposed to be fun, but ever since his little brother moved in, I feel like I’m living in a suspense movie. This 11-year-old stares at me constantly, barges into our bedroom without knocking, and leaves the bathroom door wide open—like, hello, privacy? I’ve told him so many times, but he just ignores me. What really pushed me over the edge was finding my laptop filled with porn after he borrowed it for 'homework.' My boyfriend just shrugs it off, saying it’s normal and I’m overreacting. But am I? I feel so uncomfortable in my own home, and my boyfriend just doesn’t get it. Honestly, I’m angry, confused, and starting to resent the whole situation. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? I just want to feel safe and respected in my own space. Please, tell me I’m not crazy! 😩🤦‍♀️ #RelationshipProblems #TrustIssues #LivingTogether #RomanticRelationships

I found myself a kid as a girlfriend

Living with my girlfriend in NYC should be fun, right? But for almost two years, I’ve been paying $2,000+ a month for rent, utilities, and groceries, while she throws in a measly $400. Her excuse? She’s only working part-time (which she hid from me for a year!) and spends the rest of her money on makeup and lip fillers. Every time I bring up splitting things 50/50, she guilt-traps me with tears and stories about her tough life. I end up feeling like the villain and apologizing, but nothing changes. Now, I’m exhausted and broke, and she barely helps around the apartment. Am I wrong for wanting things to be fair? How do I get through to her without being the bad guy again? 😩💸 Help me out, friends! #relationshipproblems #financialconflict #livingtogether #fairness #emotionalstress #RomanticRelationships

Should I haggle with my girlfriend over living expenses?🤯

I moved in with my girlfriend a few months ago, and we agreed to split rent and living expenses 50/50. She makes a little less than me, but has nearly ten times my savings! Now, she keeps throwing shade about paying the same rent as me, even though she spends way more on shopping, brunches, and drinks with friends. Meanwhile, I’m pinching pennies, trying to save for a ring, a wedding, and a house—things she says I’m not ready for because my savings aren’t enough! When I remind her we agreed to split things evenly, she says I’m not being a team player. I’m honestly lost—should I be paying more just because I earn a bit more, even though she’s got a financial cushion I can only dream of? How do I make this fair without turning every conversation into a fight? Seriously, what would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤💸 #RelationshipFinance #LivingTogether #MoneyMatters #CoupleConflict #RomanticRelationships

Is My Girlfriend Breaking My Stuff on Purpose? 😤📱

Ever since my girlfriend moved in, my life has turned into a graveyard for electronics and clothes. First, my brand new iPad Pro—gone the day after I got it. Then my phone (twice!), my laptop, and even my backup iPad. She claims she's just clumsy, but I never saw this side of her before. The last straw was when she washed all my wool sweaters after I specifically asked her not to. I started locking my things in my office, but now she says I’m treating her like a child and doesn’t trust me. This weekend, she wants to borrow my camera, but honestly, I can’t risk it. I use it for side gigs, and replacing it would hurt. Am I being too harsh? Or is it fair to protect my stuff? I’m angry, confused, and honestly a little scared of what might break next. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😩🤯 #relationshipproblems #trustissues #livingtogether #frustration #needadvice #RomanticRelationships
