He has no job, no goals & is hoping to find a gf soon. He listens into our conversations, wakes us up in the morning. Even having sex gets interrupted. I come home to a messy house after work, I am the only one who cleans up, cooks the meals & pretty much mother the pair of them. My bf has accepted that he won't get a job & is ok with all of this. I would never get in between family so I keep my mouth shut, though passively let my bf know my concerns. I tried approaching his brother but I get an aggressive response. He is in his 30's & his parents don't want him back because they just got him out.\n\nMy bf & I have/had a great relationship, though since his brother moved in, I am not attracted to him anymore & I feel angry all the time.

The problem I have lies within myself and my emotional baggage and it is affecting moments of our relationship.

They'll say they \"love me\" and are \"so proud of me\" in one moment and then in another moment call me all the most awful names under the sun. For this reason whenever I get the feeling that my boyfriend is unhappy with me I cannot help but react and feel in extremities, like he suddenly doesn't love me anymore because I left all my make up in his bathroom.\n\nI know how ridiculous that is considering he's been with me for over 3 years and I know without a doubt he still loves me all the same for the good and the bad yet I cannot shake this automatic reaction no matter how much I try. I thoroughly dislike being this way as it causes me anxiety for putting my boyfriend, who is so good to me, through this. I need and would much appreciate your help Redditors!" }

Anyway one day I had to shit really bad, I was farting every 2 minutes. Then i felt it. I felt the turd coming slowly, I tried to hold it in as hard as I could but i could't stop it. A little bit slipped out but wasn't all the way out it was stuck. I had to sit in an awkward position because I didn't want to smear it in my pants. Finally class was over, I sprinted to the bathroom as fast as I could. The second i got in a stall that turd that was stuck in my ass got pinched off and slid all the way through my boxers and down my shorts. It hit the toilet seat on the way down and landed on the floor. Then i took the biggest shit of my life." }

The breakup wasn't easy for me but at this point we haven't talked in 3+ years and I'm 23 now and engaged to my boyfriend of 2.5 years. \n\nRecently he moved to the same city as my three best friends in California and ended up helping one of them with a project. To celebrate the completion of the project, my friend is throwing a party. He invited me so I bought a ticket to California. Then he told me he was sorry but my ex refused to show up if I did so I can't come. I was surprised, I've done nothing to make him think I'll even try to talk to him, I was prepared to be civil and figured he was too. My friends have told me he reads my blog and buys my books so I definitely didn't think he was still so fragile he couldn't even be in the same room. \n\nThere are other people going I haven't seen in years and I was really looking forward to seeing my friend's project. At first I was mad at my friend but I realize he just got put in a bad spot by my ex and I get why he picked him when he had to choose. So I've been thinking about contacting my ex and asking him to reconsider since at this point I guess it's up to him. I really didn't plan talk to him ever and I don't want to start anything but it means a lot for me to go to this thing and I already invested in it. I'm wondering if people think this is a good idea or have any other suggestions to keep the peace and still be able to go." }

I was surprised, I've done nothing to make him think I'll even try to talk to him, I was prepared to be civil and figured he was too. My friends have told me he reads my blog and buys my books so I definitely didn't think he was still so fragile he couldn't even be in the same room. \n\nThere are other people going I haven't seen in years and I was really looking forward to seeing my friend's project. At first I was mad at my friend but I realize he just got put in a bad spot by my ex and I get why he picked him when he had to choose. So I've been thinking about contacting my ex and asking him to reconsider since at this point I guess it's up to him. I really didn't plan talk to him ever and I don't want to start anything but it means a lot for me to go to this thing and I already invested in it. I'm wondering if people think this is a good idea or have any other suggestions to keep the peace and still be able to go." }

I could do more harm than good. I would like your opinion on the subject.\n\nPerviously, I was working a job with lesser pay and somewhat financially unstable. However, the work was very interesting. Sadly, my Mother and Brother depend financially on the divorce settlement payed out by my Father, who since then became unemployed. Having a new family of his own, he stopped sending help.\nBeing the only member with some financial income, I was left with a choice. Stay where I am, have trouble helping them or change jobs to something far less interesting but with a very increased and stable income so that I could help them out. I opted to go for the latter.\n\nPass forward 1.5 years.
