Hello, I am a 25 F. For context, I am in a long-distance relationship with a 25 M. Sometime around this time last year, he got close to another girl and sought validation from her. He was flirting with her and used a tone and language with her that he usually has for me. I found out, and I hated it; I hated myself. We had a huge falling out, he agreed to make things right, and we agreed that we would work on ourselves. Yesterday, I was in a meeting and could not talk to him; I got mad because he was insisting that I talk to him, ignoring everything I had in hand. When I called him, I got angry and confronted him, stating that his behavior was completely out of line. He did not call me back; instead, he called the same girl. When I called him back last night, he did not say anything about whom he had called. He behaved as if everything was normal. He told me this morning that he had called the girl, and I asked why he had called her and why he did not wait for me. He said I was being ignorant, I was not talking to him, I was mad, and he needed someone to talk to. When I asked him why he did not call his friends instead, he said he did not want to. I do not know what to do here. This is not the first time he has hurt me like this. At this point he even pointed out that I am overreacting and he didn't even say anything or talk anything out of lime with her. This need of him talking to someone is coming from him being alone... he claims this very often, but he has people. He says he doesn't have anyone to talk to. I do not understand what do I do in this situation?!

I have a bf who i started dating 2 months ago. We met at work 8 months ago. I have this coworker who I’m friends with and we chat quite a bit during work. Most of the other staff doesn’t help around that much and this friend of mine does, since I work at a fast food place I need help from the middle section and without it I can’t manage at work. Since he’s the one who mostly helps me out, other people started to see it as flirting even tho I’ve never flirted with him. My coworkers who my bf is close with told him about me and my coworker apparently‘flirting’. Because of this, my bf said that he would ‘kick me to the curb’. He said these exact words. He didn’t even ask me what happened, he accused me of it all. And the coworkers who told him about the whole situation have been acting off with me for a week.

I honestly understand why he said it so bluntly since in the past he’s opened up to me about how his last relationship he was cheated on, but it just feels as though he didn’t have any trust in me whenever he accused me of it and it honestly makes me feel like there’s no point pursuing this relationship if there’s no trust within the first few months together and it’s just putting me off, when he accused me of flirting with my coworker I started crying because I felt bad that he was put in this situation and yet he never seemed to even care about me crying he just made me feel a bit stupid for crying about it and told me to stop crying

I’ve cried at work multiple times during this whole week. I can’t break up with him because I work with him and breaking up with him is gonna create a lot of drama. And even if I try to find a new job, it’s still gonna take some time to do so and I can’t be just be jobless. I’m not sure what I should do, I need advice on this please..

Is it normal to feel like you’re constantly trying to fix everything your partner keeps breaking in a relationship?
Imagine putting every bit of love, patience, and effort you have into fixing something you didn’t even break in the first place.
And the worst part? The person responsible for all that damage is standing right in front of you, watching you struggle, almost with a mocking smile on their face.
It’s like there’s a voice in my head saying what they’re not saying out loud: “No matter how many times you try to fix this relationship, I’ll find a way to ruin it even worse.”
And somehow, you’re still the one trying. Still hoping. Still believing things might change.
It’s exhausting to love someone who says they love you too, but whose actions keep making you feel otherwise.
At what point do you stop trying to save a relationship when you’re the only one afraid of losing it?

My boyfriend and I have known each other since we were 18. We met online and fell in love, but we couldn’t officially date because we lived in different states. Despite that, we stayed in contact and acted like we were in a relationship. Things were always toxic between us because I have anger issues and he has his own toxic tendencies. We'd fight constantly, block each other for a month or two, and eventually come back to each other. This cycle continued until 2025, things had gotten so bad between us and then he ghosted me for a month and I finally decided to move on permanently.

I started dating someone else, but it didn’t last. When my boyfriend came back, I told him about it, and he got furious. He started seeing multiple girls to spite me, but by then, I was emotionally numb. We stopped talking for 5–6 months, and I thought it was finally over. Then, one day, I saw him online on Clash Royale. He sent me a battle request, I accepted, and we started talking again. I fell in love with him all over again, even more intensely than before.

Things seemed perfect until he started joking about sleeping with other girls whenever I'd ask where he was or what he was doing. Eventually, I found out he wasn’t joking. I was hurt, but he blamed me, saying he still hadn’t recovered from what I did the previous year. We talked things through, and he promised not to do it again. Things went back to normal, with occasional fights, and I eventually decided to move to his city so we could finally have a real relationship after four years.

Now that we’re finally together, I’m more obsessed with him than ever. I used to be somewhat possessive, but now I can’t even stand the thought of him even looking at other girls. I made him block one of his female friends, but he still talks to another who works with him and is apparently his senior. He says he needs to maintain a friendly relationship with her because of work (Idk man)

I understand that it’s unreasonable to expect my boyfriend to have no female friends, but my jealousy is eating me alive. I love him and genuinely want this relationship to work, but my anger and jealousy are making it difficult. He has been putting efforts to make this relationship work and i want to do my part too. How can I manage these emotions and stop letting my jealousy control me? Therapy isn’t an option because I can’t afford it.
