@ASilentObserver Hello! I'm alxofthefort! I'm new to this community so I'm dipping my toe in the water to see how it may fit :-)
I'm working through some rough stuff with my marriage but am choosing to remain optimistic and motivated to become a better person regardless of what happens.
Much love and blessings to all on here!
hello everyone. i'm a 15 year old in a (technically) gay femboy+guy [im guy] relationship. i don't know what to say really so i'll just answer the question prompts, haha.
What brings me here?
i'm in a coercive online relationship, in the beginning i played into the control because i didn't care to acknowledge that it would cut into my personal life this much. i've been trying the past two weeks or so to tell my girlfriend that i don't like the control anymore, but it hasn't worked. i've always just ended up reinforcing the cycle (threats, wait, yelling, submission, buildup, threats again) and haven't changed anything. this past week i've been pushing harder for my boundaries and been distant/barely talking to her because i don't wanna reinforce the cycle.
What do i love about myself/her?
we're really, really similar. to the point that we're the "opposite gender of eachother" but i'll never understand her pain.
p.s. theres a lot of suicide/self harm/drinking/od threats involved, not sure what to do about that. just distance since that'll weaken the cycle i mentioned at the part where i come back due to threats.
@ASilentObserver I’m new to the Relationship Stress community, and I’m really glad to be here. What brought me here is wanting to both learn and offer support around relationship challenges
One thing I really appreciate about myself (and the people I care about) is the ability to listen with empathy. I value honest conversations and trying to understand where others are coming from, especially during difficult moments
Hi Everyone, New to 7cups and this community. I was reading some of your posts and I just want to say I think you are all so brave for being honest and opening up. Reading some of your posts has made me feel less alone and I appreciate that! I am so happy to be here. Thanks

Hi all. My name is Stillwater68 (aka Rani) and I am new here. I am a somewhat experienced listener but I have been struggling a bit with my most recent members who are dealing with significant relationship stress and am looking for some ideas and tips on how to support them. I myself am currently blessed with a wonderful relationship but have had some real doozies in the past (maybe we all have?). Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Hello there, Joel here. Came for support and kinship, feeling very alone with some relationship issues/woes.
What I like most about myself, pretty adaptable, which I guess could lead to issues for me. Very open minded, very loving.
Hi, basically I'm an unattractive weirdo
@pinkfloydFan6226
I recommend not worrying about any of that and just getting out and learning stuff, check out classes at your local community college, local art guild, local makerspace, local outfitter for classes on kayaking, canoeing or sailing, etc. You'll learn stuff that will make you more rounded and attractive and you'll meet people there as well.
