There is no love, only transactions. I give and my husband will give me back.😤✈️

My brother is getting married overseas and I’m desperate to go with my two kids. Family means everything to me, but my partner? He’s turned this into a financial tug-of-war. He says I can only take the kids if I buy him a shed or meet his list of demands—none of which have anything to do with our kids’ safety or happiness. He’s never even wanted to go to family events before, but now suddenly it’s about what he’s missing out on and what I haven’t bought him. Meanwhile, I’m left feeling guilty for wanting to support my brother and torn apart by his emotional blackmail. How do you even begin to deal with someone who turns every important moment into a negotiation over money and control? I’m exhausted and honestly, I just want to scream. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😩🤯 #FamilyDrama #FinancialControl #RelationshipStruggles #EmotionalBlackmail #RomanticRelationships

From friend to partner: I didn’t see your giant baby nature💔🤦‍♀️

I thought marrying my best friend would be a dream. Instead, it’s become a nightmare. We started out as friends, but now I feel like I’m raising a grown man instead of building a life together. He promised change, but all I see is clutter, unpaid bills, and excuses. I’m exhausted from carrying the weight—emotionally and financially. I’ve caught myself questioning his loyalty, even snooping through his phone, desperate for reassurance. He says I’m paranoid, but how can I trust someone who can’t even pull their own weight? I’m angry, confused, and honestly, I don’t even recognize myself anymore. Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship where trust is slipping away? How do you rebuild trust when you feel so alone? Please, tell me I’m not crazy! 😩🙃🤷‍♀️ #RelationshipStruggles #TrustIssues #MarriageProblems #EmotionalBurnout #RomanticRelationships

I said my cat died, and my boyfriend said let's break up ?! 😭🐾

So, my boyfriend and I (both 18M) had been together for 7 months. Last week, he started ignoring me out of nowhere—no explanation, just total silence. I was already feeling down, but then my cat died, and I was devastated. Instead of comforting me, he got mad at me for being "too negative." Yesterday, he broke up with me, saying my sadness made him feel worse than before we met. But he was already struggling before! Now I’m left wondering if I made things worse for him, or if he just couldn’t handle my emotions. Every time we disagreed, he’d ghost me for days. I feel angry, confused, and honestly, pretty lost. Is it really too much to ask for support when you’re hurting? How do you rebuild trust when you feel like your feelings are always "too much"? Please, I need advice—am I the problem here, or is he just running away from real connection? 😤😭🤡 #TrustIssues #BreakupFeels #RelationshipStruggles #SeekingAdvice #RomanticRelationships

My Boyfriend Loves Someone Else:Is it because there is something wrong with me that I reflect all the time? 😱🤯

After five years together and living in our cozy little apartment for two and a half, I thought we were unbreakable. But lately, life got hectic, and suddenly, we’re strangers sharing a bed. Last week, my boyfriend confessed he’s caught feelings for a coworker. For months! They’d sit in the parking lot after work, just talking. She’s even been to our place (with others, but still!). Now, every late night at work feels like a dagger. I’m angry, confused, and honestly, a little humiliated. Is it my fault? Am I not enough? He says he wants us to work, but how do I trust him again? My friends say I’m crazy for staying, but I still believe he’s my person. Have you ever felt this lost? How do you rebuild trust when it feels shattered? Please, tell me what you’d do. 😤😭🙃 #TrustIssues #RelationshipStruggles #Heartbreak #LoveAdvice #RomanticRelationships

I suspect my boyfriend has bipolar disorder. He gets really angry at me over the smallest things.🤯📵

Last night, I was hanging out at my friend’s place, just relaxing and catching up. My boyfriend was out at a bar with his buddy. I texted him to ask about his plans, but when he didn’t reply for a bit, I left my phone charging in the other room. I had no idea it was on silent. When I finally checked, I saw 11 missed calls and a bunch of messages demanding I answer. I rushed home, but he wouldn’t even look at me. The next day, he snapped, saying I never listen and my phone is always on silent. Now, he’s giving me the cold shoulder—again. Honestly, I’m frustrated and confused. Is it really fair to get this upset over a simple mistake? Why does he always assume the worst? How do I even fix this? I just want to feel trusted, not interrogated. Please, tell me I’m not crazy for feeling this way! 😤📱🙄🤦‍♀️ #RelationshipStruggles #TrustIssues #Communication #SilentTreatment #RealTalk #RomanticRelationships

My Boyfriend's Drinking Is Ruining Our Trust (and My Carpet) 🤦‍♀️🍻

Living with my boyfriend in my cozy Chicago apartment was supposed to be a dream, but lately, it's been a nightmare. He's an amazing guy—kind, funny, and a great listener. But every few weeks, he drinks himself into oblivion, and suddenly my floors, laundry basket, and even my filing cabinet become his bathroom. I can't tell you how many times I've woken up in the middle of the night to chaos, anger, and the smell of disaster. We've had countless talks about trust, boundaries, and respect. He promises to stop, but then the cycle repeats. Last night, he shattered my mirror during a drunken workout. This morning, he texted another apology, but I just feel numb. Am I wrong for wanting more? Is it possible to rebuild trust after so many broken promises? Or am I just fooling myself? Honestly, I need your advice—how do you fix trust when it feels like it's already shattered? 😩🧹🍺🤷‍♀️ #RelationshipStruggles #TrustIssues #AlcoholProblems #Boundaries #AdviceNeeded #RomanticRelationships

I don't know if my husband can handle his boss's seduction.🤡🤦‍♀️

Ever felt like your relationship is a soap opera ? That’s me right now. My husband James just started a new job, and suddenly there’s Celine—his boss, married, but always a little too friendly. She borrows his jacket, calls him pet names, and even asked for money! I trust James, but my gut screams something’s off, especially since cheating is almost a sport in his industry here. I’ve got my own baggage—my dad’s secret family, uncles who can’t stay loyal, and therapy is just too expensive. I check James’ messages, not because I want to, but because I NEED to feel safe. Now, I’m about to meet Celine at a company retreat. Part of me wants to be petty, but I promised myself to keep it classy. Have you ever been in this mess? How do you rebuild trust when your heart is screaming and your brain is spinning? Spill your secrets, please! 😤😅🥲 #RelationshipStruggles #TrustIssues #MarriageDrama #WorkWife #EmotionalRollercoaster #RomanticRelationships

He'll leave me if I get pregnant, he's got to be kidding me 🤡😤

I’m 30, living in Chicago, and recently had a pregnancy scare because my IUD expired. Stressed out, I confided in my boyfriend (also 30), asking, “What if I’m actually pregnant?” His response? With a smirk, he said, “Well, it was good knowing you.” I was stunned. I mean, is that supposed to be funny? My anxiety shot through the roof. He quickly backtracked, insisting it was just a joke and he’d support me no matter what. But honestly, I felt hurt and confused. Why would someone joke about leaving during such a vulnerable moment? Have you ever had your trust shaken by a careless joke? Am I overreacting, or is this a red flag? How do you rebuild trust after something like this? I just need to vent—tell me I’m not alone! 😩🤔💔 #relationshipstruggles #trustissues #pregnancyscare #communication #emotionalhealth #RomanticRelationships

There is no friend you can trust completely. Is it fun to snoop into other people's privacy?😱🤦‍♂️

I always thought my tight-knit group of friends was my safe space, a place where I could be myself and talk about anything without judgment. But lately, I've discovered a dark side to this trust. Turns out, my closest friends have been secretly reading my private messages and sabotaging my new friendships for their own amusement. They justified it by saying they were just protecting me from relationships they thought wouldn't last, but honestly, it feels like a massive betrayal. I wanted to open up and build new connections this year, but every time I tried, things fell apart—and now I know why. I'm angry, confused, and honestly, just hurt. Should I cut them off and risk losing the only core group I've ever known? Or is there a way to rebuild trust after such a deep violation? I really need your advice, because right now, I feel lost and alone. 😤🤷‍♂️🤡 #TrustIssues #FriendshipDrama #Betrayal #RelationshipStruggles #RomanticRelationships

She Comes Home, But Feels So Far Away. Anyone Else Feel This Drift?

We've been together nearly two decades. We’ve built a life most would envy—nice home, kids, stability, even the kind of holidays we once dreamed of. On paper, we’re doing great. But there’s something I’ve never figured out how to talk about. Whenever my wife comes back from spending time with her friends, something changes. It’s subtle—shorter tone, more sighs, a kind of edge I can’t explain. The warmth fades. It’s like I have to re-earn my place in her space, like home feels heavier to her than out there. I’ve never tried to control her. I want her to have her freedom, her joy, her people. But when she returns, I feel like a stranger. And every time, I wonder: is it me? Is family life that draining for her? I don’t say this to blame. I just miss the version of her that laughs with me. The one that leans in instead of shutting down. Anyone else ever feel this slow, quiet kind of rejection? #MarriageRealTalk #LongTermLove #RelationshipStruggles #InvisibleAtHome #GrowingApart #EmotionalDistance #AdultRelationships #QuietLoneliness #XiaohongshuStyle #RedditRelationships
