So Stressed About My Friendship
Relationship Stress / by QuietMuse
Last post
 August 28th, 2018
...See more I've known my friend for a total of 3 years now, our friendship started out fine but things changed after the 2nd year. That's when I began to notice how much she lied and exaggerated, and was willing to lie to my face even though I knew the truth. She can act really unstable and unhinged to the point where I'll feel awkward and as much as I care about her, I feel that I need a friend that I can trust. She's told me a lot of personal stuff that's happened in her life, and she really trusts me, but I always feel so frustrated and stressed around her because our opposite natures create tension between us that only I seem to feel. I feel so bad for not wanting to be friends with her anymore, but I feel like I'm pushing myself to try to keep the friendship. I feel that ending my friendship with her would be a selfish act, but I'm not sure if I can keep trying to make things work. I'm not sure what to do, but I would really appreciate an ouside perspective of the situation. Thank you for reading :)

What's the truth about love?
Relationship Stress / by QuietMuse

...See more Having seen the relationships/marriages in my family and having been in a relationship, I'm honestly not sure if I ever want to be in a relationship again. I want to find a friend I can spend the rest of my life with, who accepts and understands that I am asexual. However, love seems like an unfair world filled with pain and sacrifice. I understand that sacrifice and compromise are a part of any serious relationship, but love has been so unfair to me and the people I care about most. When I read books like those in the Percy Jackson series, I admire the give-and-take and understanding the characters have for each other but I don't know if relationships like that are possible in the real world. My mom tells me that after marriage, all the cute stuff fades away and you just have to learn how to live with the person. Is that true? I've seen marriages fall apart even after 10 years, and that honestly scares me. Does love just fade away? Or is it about finding the right person?

Feeling down and conflicted

...See more A recent breakup has thrown me into this deep depression I can't seem to get out of. We're still trying to be friends but it's hard for me to say that the friendship is pulling me apart. It's hard for me to text him and I don't want our friendship to fade but he really hurt me. He left me because I wasn't getting help for my anxiety and depression, and now I feel like I can't trust him as I used to before. What should I do? I could really use someone's perspective and thank you for reading

Question about what a relationship is
Relationship Stress / by QuietMuse

 July 8th, 2017
...See more My boyfriend broke up with me last week because I don't ever want to have sex and the only way I would want kids is through adoption. The breakup hurt me tremendously and I been waking up really exhausted and I've been getting chest pains from anxiety, and I decided to talk to my school counselor about it. There was one point in the relationship when he touched my boob and I wasn't okay with that. He apologized later on but I don't want a sexual relationship at all, I want a spiritual relationship where I know the other person will stand by me no matter what. But the counselor told me maybe I'm just not ready for a relationship since she said boyfriends and girlfriends normally do that with each other. Is that really true? I don't mind holding hands and cuddling but I honestly want to believe that sex/sexual touching doesn't have to be a part of a relationship because I really don't want that. I'm honestly not sure what to think but thank you for reading and I could really use someone's opinion/perspective on this
