My problem is that I never feel satisfied with my life. I look at my sisters and friends and see how happy they are in their relationships and careers. My boyfriend never understands my needs and doesn’t make me feel important or happy. Same with my job, but there’s nothing else I can do, especially […]
My boyfriend and I broke up 6 months ago. He was my bestfriend and I’m having a very hard time getting over it. I always thought we’d get back together, but it hasn’t happened. Now I’m obsessed with looking on his facebook. If he posts new pictures with girls, I feel jealous and sick. He […]
