Forum: Sex & Relationships

Hi there, I’m sarah and I’m a volunteer peer advisor on askTheSite. I was helping out with TheSite relationships week on their facebook page a few weeks ago and it got me thinking about how we grow to learn about romantic relationships and what to expect from them. I wanted to ask people whether there is a fictional couple that has affected their view of relationships or just given them...

Everything seems to be a constant reminder that I'm not in a relationship and never had been. No one else around me seems to have a problem finding people and so many conversations are talking about everyone else's love life. I don't want reassurances that it will happen, I just want to know how to deal with the situation as it is now and stop letting it get to me so much. When I'm alone it just...

ive been in this relationship for quite some time now. im in love with this girl, and i know i want to marry her. but our relationship progressed very quickly. in the time we have been together, we have spwnt 4 nights apart at most. we bpth staryed feeling smothered, and missed being able to go out on our own. so we agreed to take a guilt free weekend. we were both completely ok with it. she...

I just need some advice, I'm really upset and don't know if I am overreacting. I attend a creative writing class and shared a really personal poem with the class today. My tutor said the poem was potentially good enough for publication and I was quite proud of it. But my mum is in one of her weird moods and has just torn the poem to absolute shreds. It was the only copy I had and I don't think...

I'm still really struggling. :(

Sorry, this is one of those irritating threads where I return to pick a scab, and ask for advice where I already know the answer, but will ignore it anyway. It's nearly 22 months since my other half went away, but I still have a top they wore a lot that still smells of them. I know I should wash and charity shop it, but I don't want to. Anybody want to make me feel a little better by telling...

First post :wave: Ok so what initially led me to this forum was that last night I drank a little too much infront of people I shouldn't have and blurted out some big secrets that one of those people had trusted me with. Needless to say she won't trust me with them ever again. I was going to ask for advice on how to fix this but then thought I may as well put the bigger issue out there. So...

Should this be in work? I thought it was more related to relationships. Hello! atm I'm an au pair in France, and I can feel very much that the mother in my host family that I'm working for doesn't like me. The children seem to like me and I get on reasonably well with the father, but I don't think the mother likes me at all. She is very smart and professional and Parisian, and I am very much...

What has your other half or a friend of yours done for you recently to make you feel good about yourself? A friend of mine recently text me after about 6 months to see if I wanted to catch-up and go for dinner - that's just one small example. :) How about you?

When my friend and i go on outings and drives to the city, which is onverage 50 to 80 miles away depending on how far you go, we take my car and i pay for the gas - which is around 20 to 25 give or take. But she never pays me for half of it or offers. I tried to drop hints and she is always like "yeah we should split it" but she never comes through. I have money issues myself so for me every...

My Mother. I dont know what to say about my mother. Sometimes she is just aggravating. Seriously. Like a hit my head against the wall kind of way. :banghead: just like that. I actually do that sometimes, but not hard. That would hurt. I dont like her. She is not my stepmother like most daughters have problems with, but my real one. I get along with other people just fine, but she has SO many...

We ended up together when the door was being bashed in it was his gf who punched me 4 times in eye and now I've got a black...

Years ago when we first met my future sister in-law and I never hit it off. She tried to break up my relationship with my husband by telling him (at the time we were dating) lies about me. We got married and her disliked for me intensified. It had gotten to the point where I told my husband that I would no longer visit them in the town where they lived, but whenever they would come to our...

One of the people that lives with me told me to move. The support worker told me too a few times now. One of the support worker just...

I don't know if I posted about this a few months ago or not. But I have a pain condition which can be hugely fluctuating - some days I can walk with my stick and asides being slow and taking breaks every so often then I seem ok, other days I can't get out of bed. I have carers in twice a day to help with personal care. I split up with my ex just over 2 months ago and I felt it was about...

Hey, I want to get a sex toy we can use during sex for extra pleasure and I'm.thinking of getting the rosebud clit vibrator from Ann summers, has anyone tried this one or have advice?.... thanks

This is incredibly cringey on my behalf but.. I'm a virgin and I'm putting it down to being terrified at the thought. 'Terrified' may be a slight exaggeration, but I am really nervous. I am probably overthinking it way to much, but I worry.. what do I do? what are they expecting from me? how should I 'look' down there? Whenever I'm in 'that situation' with a guy, I push him away because I...

Im looking for a friend or two I can hang out with. Id like to meet a nice girl too. I used to work friday-saturday nights part time, I've now left that job for a temp monday-friday role in an office for a few months. My job doesn't have a social side. I've tried online dating, dance classes, the gym, social activitiy groups and a karate class but none of it has worked out. I feel...

I'm a bit worried about my dad. Since he stopped working and became ill he just doesn't do anything. He goes and gets the paper in the morning, walks the dog twice a day and does the crossword infront of shit daytime TV. That is his day pretty much everyday, with only the occasional trip to take the dog round the pet shop to buy his food and some bird food. He doesn't have any friends. The...
