Hi.
I recently broke up with my super toxic boyfriend of 1.5 years because he started becoming overly possessive and started keeping tabs on me. I reached out to my old guy friend who is 3 years older to me. Let's call him Cal. Cal used to work with me therefore i felt comfortable and started liking him. Rather than helping me, he asked me to breakup with my boyfriend asap and immediately started flirting with me. He kept trying to make sexual banter through conversation one day and would demean me and call me stupid another day. He started standing me up for casual hangouts and kept mocking me until I found out he recently found a girlfriend behing everyone's back whom he is getting engaged to. He pretends to be single everywhere tho. This girl is some chick he picked up online who copies his ex girlfriend too btw. The same ex whom he had cheated on multiple times.
Not just that, Cal also follows random women and hangs out with them to tell me I ain't worth his love. He has insulted me and has also pretended as if I want his attention now even though he started flirting first. I recently cut him off but idk how to move on. I left my job due to depression. What should I do?

Hi. I come from India, where patriarchy seems to get more powerful with each passing day. And it is not just in the society. It is also in personal relationship dynamics.

Guys, these days theives and scammers are somehow loitering with more confidence than regular office workers. Scam karo and chori karo and maze karo- this is the rule for them. I was travelling on a bright day in Kolkata and I was on the bus that I took from Howrah. When I got down I saw my shoulder bag has been torn and my moneh, my wallet, and my phone were all gone.

I am so disappointed with the authorities that they did not take my complaint seriously and rather blamed me for not being more careful. I filed a GD at a police station and it has been months with no response from their end. I was so agitated because most of us wake up everyday and go to work and earn our hard earned money, right? This was so surprising that these theives have become such next level smart.

What a place am I living in? I am never trusting the authorities anymore. I am leaving it to God. I know there is a man upstairs and a holy spirit exists that will not spare such heinous things.
