My brother has this friend which I found very attractive from the first time we met which was like 5 years ago? I was always really geeky and dorky around him but I didn't know better. Two years ago, my brother went to work abroad and invited me to visit him in the foreign country he was in. I went and his friend happened to have gone to visit him there, too. The whole time I was geeky and dorky and slowly and subtly starting to feel things for him. The time we spent together started meaning more and more. There was almost this romantic tension when we were alone but nobody would do anything. I think my brother saw a bit of the tension so he tried to be present whenever he could. Now this hot friend has a girlfriend who he's gone traveling a few times with and I'm pretty sure they're going to end up together for another while. Breaks my heart a little bit but because I fell for him in such a subtle way, my mind prepared to discover that he had a good girlfriend. If only I could phone him and it not be weird...

I've recently reconnected with an old friend/girlfriend. We were always close and connected on a very deep level, but I was too stupid and self-centered to commit to her. We fell out of touch for a long time. I've been married for over 13 years with 2 kids and thought I was happy... until I started chatting with my friend again. She's recently married and I want so badly to break them up so she'll be with me. I've realized that I don't really love my wife anymore and never loved her on the same level as my friend. But I don't want to hurt my kids. The pain of being seperated from my friend is almost unbearable. We chat every day. I should feel guilty, but I don't. I think about my friend even when I kiss my wife and tell her I love her. I fantasize about leaving her.

I became a wiccan 6 years ago through online courses. Nobody knows. I don't pretend to be religious, but I think if people knew this they'd think I was crazy.

We have a HUGE jerk of a supervisor where I used to work. She loves to humiliate her employees and is even super rude to customers. The last shift I worked with her we got in a nasty argument and I decided I was done working there. That same day I went on the company's website and wrote a HUGE complaint about her, pretending to be a customer (because I know they don't take employee complaints seriously). A few days later my friend told me the girl had gotten in a lot of trouble because of a complaint, I knew it was mine! I don't feel a bit bad about it, she deserved it, I watched too many people take her nastyneess and never complain. I just wish she'd been fired.

I love stealing, I think I actually have a problem. When I'm alone in a room in someone's house or at work I rifle through people's belongings. I've taken really stupid things that I don't need, I think that's a real sign of a mental problem.

I worked at the same place for 5 years and took money all the time. It was just so darn easy. By the end I was taking at least 50 bucks a shift. The worst part is I really don't feel bad about it. Now I don't work there and I'm so poor all the time, I'm not used to living without the extra income. I guess it serves me right.

My dad left my mom 5 years ago when I was 20. Mom was sick at the time so I had to work while in collage and pay all the bills. I thought mom would bounce back in a year or two but she didn't at all, she didn't even seem to try. Now her health is fine but she is totally depressed and defeated. She doesn't work, she has no money, and depends on me for everything. I love her so much and would never dream of not caring for her, but I hate that I'm 25 and burdened by this. I can't move out of the city even though I'd love to go see the world. She calls me at least once a week and totally depresses me. If I don't go visit her for a few days in a row she gets practically suicidal. And what makes it worse is my older sister doesn't do half of what I do, she''s going to get married and move soon and leave me with all the responsibility. I just wish I could be free to live my life and that mom could be a happy, productive person.

I have a great guy friend who I know deep down I'm in love with. 3 years ago we did a lot of clubbing together and then one night he asked me to go home with him. I was really inexperienced at the time and in a panic I said maybe it wasn't a good idea. Well he felt like a total jerk for it and never came on to me again. I got a boyfriend not long after but always wished I could have this guy instead. Now my boyfriend and I are really serious, and my guy friend has a great girlfriend. But I still no deep down that I'd do anything to be with him. I love everything about him, he's the ideal man. I'm going to regret saying no to him for the rest of my life.

I'm a grad student, but I'm really only doing it because I couldn't get a job without a masters degree. I don't really like my project or care about anything at school. Everyone else in my lab are real keeners, it drives me crazy. Most days I don't even bother to go to school, I go out with my dog or play computer games. I'm scared of what I'll do when I finish, I think everyone probably thinks I'm a horrible student. It sucks because I know I'm capable of great things, I'm just so no motivated.

I think I'm settling. I've been with a guy for 3 years. We broke up last year and were both heart broken, so we got back together. Things are much better but I feel like in the long run, we're not meant to be, we're just too different. I'm sure people look at us and wonder what I'm doing with him. Now we're getting a place together and talking about marriage. I know now is the time to get out, but I'm not going to. What a dumb girl I am.

I stay in my marriage for the benefit of my son. I am no longer in love my wife.

I have lied to my girlfriend about almost every facet of my life for the last 3 years; virtually nothing of what she believes about me is true.

I'm sorry you have a mental illness. I'm so sorry sometimes you say the worst things imaginable to me. I know you can't help it and it's not true. I'm even more sorry I fight back. I don't want to or even mean to, but I do. I'm sorry I always think you're wrong. It has come to me that I was wrong along the way as well. I'm sorry if I have devalued you because of your illness. I'm sorry I haven't treated my husband the way he deserves to be treated.

i hate some people... and i dipped their toothbrushes in a dirty toilet once. Never, Never NEVER piss me off.

Last night, my friend and I called the cops on our neighbors while they were having a party. 3 showed up, and although I feel bad about it, I am glad that they got in trouble. :)

I'm scared that one day my boyfriend will see me for what I really am and leave me. He makes me so happy and says that he loves me, but I find it really hard to accept that anyone could love me for what I am. I suffer with depression and low self-esteem, which makes me feel useless and my last relationship was with a physically and psychologically abusive guy. He lived with me for 15 months and I got used to being treated badly, so now I flinch if my boyfriend raises his voice at me and I constantly apologise if I think I've done anything wrong. I try to tell him what's wrong, but because he cares so much, he ends up interrupting me to tell me that I'm not fat, or stupid, or useless, which is very sweet, but then I feel like he doesn't really value what I am saying to him. I hate what I am, and the fact that I feel that I have no control over changing it. I wish I was a better person, because he deserves someone so much better than me.

I don't think anyone will ever love me, and I can't even imagine reasons for why someone might find me attractive. I have no confidence, and no-one to give me confidence.

Twenty-seven years ago I dumped a girl after a night of kissing on a school trip. I'm sure she felt she was being used, but I really did it because of the age difference (17 and 14). I was cowardly and did not want to be known as a senior who could only get a freshman girlfriend. I rarely spoke to her after that, and wish today that I knew whatever became of her so I could apologize -- not for the kissing, but for the horribly degrading way I just told her to get lost the next day.
