I wouldn't usually post something like this. My girlfriend of 5 months (I know it's not a lot) just broke up with me. She said she loves me and wanted to make this work but she just can't be in a relationship right now (she's really busy trying to get into college for art) and I'm just- I feel so gutted. I can't believe this is actually happening. I have never felt as safe with anyone as I do with her, we were friends for 3 years before we started dating and our bond was just so strong. We wanted the same things in our future but have been having trouble communicating recently. And then one night I told her I've been struggling with her lack of expressing affection and she ended up just telling me she doesn't think she can support me well. I have so many things I had planned for us and I can't believe I might never get to see her again. We were truly in love with each other and I am just so heartbroken.

I am 18 and living at home with my parents while I attend college. I recently bought a pink gingham top (super cute) with an open back. I was very excited but knew my mom wouldn't like it so, I did not show it to her. Later I was sorting my laundry when she came over to help. Eventually it became clear she found the shirt and had taken it. I saw it clutched in her fist as she walked away. She said nothing to me about it... I'm guessing she took it because it's too "scandalous" for me to wear. What do I do??
