Hi eatyourgreens In terms of sleeping in separate rooms, if that's something that's making you feel safe and comfortable then I encourage you to keep doing it (doubly so if sharing a bed with him makes you resentful). Sleeping separately isn't automatically a sign that a relationship is falling apa...

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years now. We’ve lived together for 3 years and generally we have a great relationship. In the past year however, the relationship has brought up our own issues to the surface more and created a lot of conflict. For me it’s brought up my own PTSD, making m...

Hi there eatyourgreens! Becoming a parent is a really big decision, it's not stupid to think it through carefully. It sounds like you've had quite a journey to get to the point where you can think about having a child, and it's normal to sometimes see old patterns re-emerge in moments of change or ...

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area. I have thought a lot about this topic and seem to end up with no clear answer. There is so much to consider.

I will say that it may help to reframe at least one thing for yourself, which is him not apologizing for the way he communicated until you told him what would help repair trust. Rather than thinking o...

Hi eatyourgreens, It can definitely be jarring when someone we're close to acts in a way that feels super out of character. And, since you and he haven't really argued as adults, it was probably extra stressful because you had no framework for how this usually goes or how to approach the situation....

Hi, I'm 26 years old, my brother is 31 and a recent argument between us has left me feeling really confused. Not just of our relationship but just confused about what I'm even feeling... My brother and I are quite close - although we don't live near each other, we talk almost every day, we game toge...

Hi, I am asking this question here because I think it may not be just me who has wondered this before. I am going on holiday soon, which will be a beach holiday, and up till now (I'm 20 years old) I have shaved my body (at least when I've been on the beach) as in my armpits, my legs and my bikini li...
