“My Lesbian Girlfriend Is Jealous of Me”

I’m a 24-year-old in a lesbian relationship. Recently, my girlfriend confessed that she envies my looks, education, and professional success. I’m glad she was open with me, and I want nothing more than to help her overcome these negative emotions. I think that the fact that we get along well is more important than what our business cards say or how many pieces of paper hang on our walls. The fact that we find each other attractive is more important than which conventional beauty standards we meet. And we’re both lucky to be in a loving relationship, which trumps everything else. Or at least, that’s how it should be, right? However, sometimes…

“I Don’t Want My Kids Anywhere Near My Mother-in-Law!”

I found out in January two years ago I was pregnant. Four months later, I asked my MIL if she wanted to host a shower for me and she said no. I called my aunt who loves to entertain and she was thrilled to be asked. Fast forward to A’s arrival in October.

Since then, I’ve regretted it, and I’m unsure if I should continue with this ill-made decision or go with my gut instinct to ask my lifelong best friend instead. Here is the scenario: My sister, who had been married for 10 years, is going forward with a divorce from her husband. She’s in a rough place in her life right now, and I feel deeply for her, because they both need to file bankruptcy…

“His Ex-Girlfriend’s Stuff is Everywhere!”

My boyfriend of three months (we’ve been “seeing each other” for about seven) had a nine-year relationship before me with a woman he was engaged to. They’ve been broken up for about two years and he’s never done anything to make me question his feelings for me or that he still has feelings for her. But the thing is, he still has a ton of her stuff in his house. It’s not displayed or anything, but it’s everywhere. The bedside table on the side of his bed that I sleep on still has a lot of her stuff in the drawer. He still has tons of old cards, notes, letters, photos, etc….
