Dissatisfied With Life

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 […]

Heart Broken

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 […]

Grandmother Issues

My grandmother is always commenting on mine and my sister’s weight, the way we look—our hair, clothing, whatever. She says we must always look our best or else we’ll never find a husband–like this is my goal in life! This makes me not want to see her, but then I feel badly. I don’t understand […]

Gay Couple Planning to Adopt

My partner Jason and I were foster fathers to Juan who unfortunately got into trouble, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and placed in a residential setting. The adoption never happened. My family, although outwardly accepting of our sexual orientation, always gave the impression they disapproved of us being fathers. Their negative opinions about minorities meant they […]

Frustrating Friendship

I instantly connected with my friend when we first met at work. We had a lot in common and I admired her. Now I’m noticing things that really bother me. At work she acts like she knows best, but sometimes has claimed my ideas as her own. When we have plans, she is always late […]

Flirtatious Boyfriend

My boyfriend has had a female best-friend since before we met. It was fine until now it seems like he’s giving her a LOT more attention and it’s bothering me. We were at a club and she was with her boyfriend. My boyfriend kept running over to tell her things, laughing, hugging and making a […]
