My boyfriend and I have been having sex since we were 18, and over time it became a normal part of our relationship.

Because we didn't get many opportunities, we usually had sex only 2 to 3 times a month, even though we saw each other almost every day.

Something I only realized recently is that whenever I wasn't in the mood, I was always honest with him about it. In the beginning, he didn't really believe me. We'd argue because he thought I was lying or hiding something. Eventually, he understood that I simply wasn't mentally or physically stimulated enough to want sex.

Instead of accepting my "no," though, he would try to "fix" it. He would touch me anyway, tell me it would be quick, say "just once," or repeatedly ask why I wasn't in the mood. Even after all of that, I often still said no, which would frustrate him. Other times, he would keep asking until I finally gave in just to end the conversation. Afterwards, he would ask if I'd only agreed because of him. THE AUDACITY!

This pattern went on for years. I tried communicating how it made me feel, and he would seem to understand in the moment, but before long he would do it again. He often justified it by saying, "That's just how my brain works," or that these were simply his instincts. I kept forgiving him, hoping things would change.

Now, he fully understands my boundaries, but the damage has already been done. I've become so uncomfortable with his touch that even the thought of being intimate with him makes me feel anxious, scared, and uneasy.

is grape a big word for it or is it justified here

I (21F) am planning a goa trip with my boyfriend. we both are in the same college and live in my campus hostel. there is a long and formal procedure followed in my hostel to grant leaves.

the parents have to mail the warden from their registered mail IDs and then the warden approves it only after we ask her by physically going to her office. that too after she re-confirms it on call from the registered phone number

now i have tried one trick but it's gotten old now. I'll use this one if nothing else works

my home is quite near my college, so i visit my parents once every two weeks. what i do is i call them and tell them I'm coming home that week, i get my leave approved and at the very last moment i call them and tell them something came up and i'd have to cancel.

I've used this 4-5 times, and I feel very bad after cancelling cuz they love me a lot and are always eager to meet me and i think it breaks their heart when I cancel like that.

I'll use this trick only when I'd have no other choice

please suggest something creative

been seeing a lot of questions on how to make pocket money or extra money from home online

i just have one question, does easy money really exist? and even if it does do people really share it online on such a high-volume platform for people to populate their source of income

I had a best friend of 7 years. We were practically inseparable. Even though she was younger than me, it always felt like we were on the same wavelength. We could read each other's minds, knew exactly what the other person was thinking, and never had to put much effort into understanding each other. She genuinely felt like my soulmate, just in a friendship way.

Things started changing after she got into a relationship.

Her boyfriend hated me and our friend group because we were "those girls." We liked partying occasionally, drinking, and hanging out with guy friends. My best friend never did any of that, but that was entirely her own choice. We never pressured her into anything and respected her boundaries.

That didn't matter to him.

He was convinced I was a bad influence and slowly kept convincing her to distance herself from me. It became easier once we went to different colleges because we weren't seeing each other every day. this continued for more than a year.

then came my most recent birthday.

About a week before it, I texted her and our other friends to plan something. She never replied. For four days I genuinely thought she was just busy.

Turns out she had blocked me.

I messaged her on another app asking what happened. She said she didn't want to be friends anymore because she no longer fit into our friend group. We argued for hours, and she ended our 7-year friendship.

Fast forward to today.

Out of nowhere, she texted me saying she and her boyfriend had broken up.

The only thing I replied was, "I'm happy for you."

I didn't ask what happened. I didn't ask why they broke up. A few months ago I probably would've wanted every detail. Today, I realized I genuinely don't care anymore.

Maybe she wanted our friendship back. Maybe she just needed someone familiar to talk to. I honestly don't know.

What I do know is that I don't want people in my life who can be manipulated so easily that they throw away years of friendship because someone tells them to.

Looking back, I think I spent years listening to her complain about the same toxic relationship while watching her ignore every piece of advice she asked for. Losing the friendship hurt, but I'm strangely at peace with it now.

So... what's your best friend breakup story? Did you ever reconnect, or did you realize some friendships are meant to stay in the past?

I want to be financially independent and not have to ask for money from my parents. I've seen a bunch of videos online about selling vibe coded websites and was hoping to give that a try.

who would be an easy target that would need zero convincing as if they were waiting for someone to approach them

I'm 21F and my boyfriend is 21M. We've been together for a little over 5 years and this has been a very serious relationship for both of us. We've gone through a lot together and we genuinely love each other, which is why I'm finding myself stuck and unable to make sense of what I should do.

Over the years there have been several incidents that have made me question our future. I have repeatedly tried communicating my needs, concerns, and things that hurt me, but almost every serious conversation turns into an argument or a misunderstanding. Afterwards, the issue is usually never addressed again, and I end up feeling unheard.

One of the biggest issues is physical intimacy. There have been many times when I wasn't in the mood, but I felt pressured into being intimate because saying no would lead to guilt, disappointment, or conflict. I've tried explaining how those experiences affected me emotionally, but he either doesn't understand or insists that he didn't do anything wrong and that his intentions were innocent. Having to repeatedly explain why I was hurt has made me emotionally exhausted and, over time, I've become resistant to intimacy with him. At this point, even being touched romantically often makes me uncomfortable, which wasn't the case earlier in our relationship.

Another pattern I've noticed is that whenever I reach my breaking point and try to end the relationship, he suddenly becomes the perfect boyfriend. He promises change, becomes incredibly loving, and is willing to do everything possible to save the relationship. Because of that, I end up staying, hoping things will finally improve. But once the immediate crisis passes, the deeper problems remain unresolved and eventually we end up in the same place again.

This cycle has happened multiple times over the years.

I also feel guilty because I know he loves me deeply, and I still love him too. We attend the same college and he knows where I live, so simply cutting all contact or disappearing isn't realistic. I don't want to hurt him, but I also don't want to spend years forcing myself to stay in something that isn't healthy for either of us.

Part of me wonders if my resentment and loss of attraction are because of unresolved issues that can still be worked through, and another part of me wonders whether I've already emotionally checked out and am only staying because of history, attachment, and guilt

TL;DR:

21F with 21M, together for 5+ years. We love each other, but years of unresolved communication issues, feeling pressured into intimacy, and a cycle where he only changes when I'm about to leave have left me resentful and uncomfortable with physical affection. How can I tell whether this relationship is truly fixable or if I'm staying because of love and attachment?.

i am 2nd year student I hate to ask money from my parents.

i have tried affiliate marketing, cold calling and freelance websites (upwork and fiverr) to sell websites but nothing worked.

i want to be financially independent before i start a real job because that will be 2 years from now. i dont want to be waiting that long to bear my own expenses

For the past month, I've been trying to sell websites to local businesses like cafes and restaurants. My goal is to earn around ₹20-25k by the end of July.

The strange part is that most owners reject me almost immediately. They don't even look at the prototype or sample website I've prepared. It feels like they're not interested in the product itself before I've had a chance to explain the value.

I'm wondering if I'm approaching this the wrong way. Is my target audience wrong? Are cafes and restaurants generally not good clients for website services? Should I be offering something else or changing how I pitch?

For those who have done freelance web development or client outreach, where do you think I'm going wrong? I'd really appreciate honest feedback and suggestions because I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks!
