Questioning.......
Relationship Stress / by Adri89
Last post

...See more I am 3-years out of a narcissistic relationship/1-month marriage after he walked out on me.  I am a female & I'll explain in my story why this is important.  I have recently been reflecting over all my previous relationships with men. They all have ended in different ways, but they have all had a 5-year 'shelf life'. I have always had this tiny little pull that I was interested in woman, but I kept ignoring it & pushing it away. After this last experience with my narcissistic ex, I have been leaning more into the fact that MAYBE these past male relationships ending the same timeframe WERE somehow the sign I needed that the relationship I craved could have a feminine touch to it & how I should somehow lean more into that.  This is all in a memoir I am currently writing. Especially how when I look at my interests between men & woman- With the men, it was all about "performance" & personality. When I look towards a woman, my first instinct is her looks, right down to her hair colour I liked.  I have only revealed all this to a select few friends & trying to figure out how to tell my parents, OR, I can just wait until my book reveals it all- I'm just not entirely sure when that would be because things keep getting delayed............... Advice & guidance is greatly appreciated 🥰🌈💬

I like my crush…… how do I tell him without ruining a friendship

...See more I have known this guy for many years & I am starting to develop feelings for him. My friends that I've talked to tell me I should go tell him how I feel, but mutual friends I met through him say that he's too busy for a relationship in his life. He is a musician & I like to write lyrics, every time I see/talk to him, he inspires me to write more lyrics. This last lyric I wrote it's probably the first time I also thought of a melody to go with it & I can't get it out of my head. I am dying to tell him how I feel, but I'm worried the feelings aren't reciprocated & it will ruin our friendship in the end. He is the type of guy who is nice to everyone, so it's super hard to tell if he's flirting with me. ALSO there is this Gala coming up for our charity that I invited him to, but I can't tell if he accepted because it's for the charity OR because I asked him to come & he's coming because he wants to see me. Also at this Gala, there will be this one person who has tried to set me up with 40-something year old men, so j wanted to find a way to get my crush to come as my date/bf to get this guy off my back,but the only way I could think of is to ask my crushes mother what she thought & yeah that's SUPER awkward, but it's all I can think of.
