Men, what are the signs that you're slowly losing yourself just to keep a relationship? When did you realize it, and what made you see it?

Problem/Goal: My girlfriend's mom doesn't like me anymore. We actually used to get along well, and there wasn't any tension between us before. But recently, her attitude toward me completely changed, for some reason, she doesn't like me and doesn't want me around.

My girlfriend 23F and I 24M have been together for 3 years, and recently, okay naman kami. We love each other and we're trying our best to make the relationship work. recently, my girlfriend graduated, and I wasn't allowed to attend because her mom didn't want me there. It really hurt, but I respected her decision because I didn't want to cause any problems or ruin my girlfriend's special day.

The hardest part is that whenever my girlfriend tries to stand up for our relationship or asks if we can spend time together, her mom gets angry and makes things difficult for her. I don't want my girlfriend to suffer because of me, and I also don't want to be the reason she argues with her Mom.

I'm trying to be patient and respectful, but sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, her mom has already decided she doesn't like me.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Should I just keep giving her mom space and hope things get better over time, or is there something else I should be doing?

Need recommendations!

Our area has very weak signal for both Globe and Smart, so those aren't really working well for us.

Mahina talaga ang signal ng Globe at Smart sa area namin. May maire-recommend ba kayong prepaid WiFi or internet na okay kahit weak ang signal ng dalawang network? Baka may ibang network or alternative na subok niyo na.

Problem/Goal: My ex and I broke up about 3 months ago. The relationship had become unhealthy and toxic for both of us, and we both agreed that ending it was the right thing to do. The complicated part is that we have a dog together. We've been co-parenting our dog since the breakup because we both genuinely love him, and neither of us wanted to completely walk away from that bond.

Lately, I've been struggling with feelings that I don't fully understand. I don't know if I still love my ex, if I haven't fully moved on, or if what I'm feeling is entirely about the dog.

What scares me is the thought of letting go. Not just of the dog, but of everything that comes with it. The "what ifs." The possibility that one day she'll move on, find a new boyfriend, and that the connection I have through our dog will eventually disappear too.

We've both respected each other's boundaries since the breakup, and there's no drama between us. But emotionally, I feel stuck. Part of me wonders if my attachment to the dog is also tied to the fact that he's one of the last meaningful connections I still have to my ex and the life we shared.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you figure out whether you were holding on because of the pet, because of your ex, or because of the fear of completely letting go? I'd really appreciate hearing other perspectives.

Need ko lang ng advice kasi hindi ko na alam saan lulugar. Naging okay naman ako dati sa family ng girlfriend ko, lalo na sa mama niya. Madalas akong nasa bahay nila para samahan at ihatid-sundo yung gf ko, lalo na nung busy siya sa school at thesis. Nakikisama naman ako at never akong naging bastos sakanila.

Pero recently, parang biglang nagbago yung trato ng mama niya sakin. Bigla nalang sinabi na wag muna akong pumunta sakanila at parang hindi na ako welcome sa bahay nila.

Paano ba malaman pag ayaw sa inyo ng nanay ng Girlfrind niyo?

Problem/Goal: Bigla akong hindi na welcome sa bahay ng girlfriend ko kahit dati okay naman ako sakanila. Madalas akong maghatid-sundo at mag stay sa bahay nila, nakikisama naman ako nang maayos at nagsha-share rin sa gastusin like pang palengke kapag nandoon ako. Pero ngayong malapit na grumaduate ang girlfriend ko, sinabi raw ng mama niya na wag na akong sumama pauwi at wag ko na rin siyang ihatid. Hindi ko maintindihan kung may nagawa ba akong mali o kung may ibang dahilan kung bakit biglang nagbago ang treatment sakin.

Gusto kong maintindihan kung bakit biglang naging ganito ang sitwasyon at malaman kung ano ang healthiest at pinaka-respectful na way para i-handle ito—kung dapat ba akong umatras muna at magbigay ng space, kausapin nang masinsinan ang girlfriend ko, o subukang ayusin at maintindihan ang side ng mama niya without creating conflict or forcing myself where I’m no longer welcome.

Any advice or similar experiences are appreciated.

Problem/goal: Sobrang bigat ng araw na ’to para sakin. Nawalan na nga ako ng car, tapos nag break pa kami ng girlfriend ko. Ang sakit lang kasi feeling ko ang toxic na rin talaga ng setup namin. Parang kinakahiya niya ako sa friends niya at hindi niya ako maamin publicly as her boyfriend kahit matagal naman kami. Lagi ko na lang tiniis at inintindi pero eventually nakakapagod din pala.

Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong makaramdam ng “small win” dahil natapos na rin yung relasyon na paulit-ulit lang nakakasakit sakin, o mas nangingibabaw lang talaga yung lungkot at pagod ngayon. Pakiramdam ko kasi sunod-sunod lahat ng problema in one day.
