  • How should I end a friendship?

    I’ve been “friends” with my boyfriends best friends girlfriend. At first when we all hung out she seems really nice, but that was the only time I enjoyed being around her. Every time after that when they would invite us over for dinner, she would always be in a bad mood and I would feel awkward. I kept trying to give this friendship a chance but last night it was the same thing, she was in a bad mood. I also invited them over for my daughters birthday since my daughter and her daughter are friends... big mistake... she got mad at her boyfriend ( my boyfriends best friend) and was whisper yelling at him when I was right next to them. After she looks at me and says out loud “I’m not wrong. You agree with me right.” I felt so uncomfortable when she did that because I don’t like being put in that kind of position especially in my own home. I’ve also noticed that she has said somethings to me about herself that she has contradicted. For example, she said she doesn’t like arguing in public, but she did at my house and she was the one that started it... I’m at the point where I know I’m forcing myself into uncomfortable situations but I don’t know how to tell her nicely that this friendship isn’t going to work. I don’t want to sound rude when telling her but I also don’t want her to twist my words and ruin the friendship my boyfriend and his friend have.

  • Is it worth trying tor each out to this guy? Was he manipulative?

    I used to be friends with this guy who’s 13 years my senior. We recently had a falling out over something that seems petty but lead to us stop being friends. He has mental illness like depression & speculated on bipolar & schizophrenia. We talk about his issues often because it seems to help him. His issues consists of him always feeling worthless & his lack of friends over the years in a way that sounds like THEY had done something wrong to end the friendship.

    I accidentally did something that he got mad at me for, which I tried to apologize after he lashed at me as I didn’t mean to offend. He talk about his issues again about him feeling worthless.

    I decided to share one of my biggest issues from my childhood that I still suffer from but rarely ever share with ANYONE. That’s when the argument started. He felt it was okay to tell me that my issue weren’t a big deal & had no bearing to the argument at hand.

    I called him out that it was unfair for him to think HIS issues were important enough that he can bring it up whenever he wanted but I can’t & that it was wrong for him to downplay my issue. He tried apologizing, but admitted he weren’t sorry.

    I got mad & we argued. He tried apologizing again & will make it up to me even if it means catching COVID-19 & spreading it to his family. But he got upset & retracted that notion shortly after. Basically, he made it feel like as long as he said “sorry” & CRY, any & all his wrong doing is forgiven.

  • Why am I obsessed with my best friend?

    Me and my best friend have been friends for a few years now however we stopped being friends and only became friends again after this summer, but we did get very close very quickly again. I find myself getting sad if he isn’t coming out when I’m with my other friends and I hate to say it but anything he does I will do as well. I want him to value me the most out of all of his friends but he has other best friends as well, which I’m not mad about I just want to be his favourite. I always get really scared that he is going to slowly get bored of me and forget about me soon, if this happens I don’t know what I would do because he means so much to me I don’t really tell him that though because I don’t want to be overwhelming. I always get scared he’s ignoring me and I just wanna know, how did I become so obsessed with my best friend?!?! Our friendship never used to be like this.

  • He pulls my hair and chokes me in front of his friends...?

    I’ve recently started seeing this guy, we were drinking with his friend and he’s dominant (quite new to it) and him and his friend would gang up on me and insult me as a joke which is fine, although towards the end of the night it got a bit much! Anyway, every time I insulted him back, he would pull my head back by my hair and ask me to repeat what I said, or he’d choke me right in front of his friend.... does anyone know why he did this? This was meant to be a private thing, not on display for his friend to see. It’s disrespectful right?

  • I guess this is goodbye to yahoo answers. Here's what it meant to me. Am I the only one who will miss it?

    I've been using YA sporadically since 2006. I was 13 back then. YA helped me with homeworks,helped me with family troubles,hell helped me even to cope with the loss of my bro in Iraq in 2007 and because of that the divorce of my parents in 2008. and with my grandpa's death in 2017. It helped me with girls too. I didn't use it every single day,every year. I probably didn't use it from 2010-2015. Also, I realize now how many things I've learned about so many things of the world. About geography,about movies. I'm really gonna miss this..... I guess this is it.....It's even difficult to find the right words. I'm really thankful to this site. Not gonna cry about it but it's def. something I'm gonna miss... pls tell me I'm not the only one?

  • What should I say to the guy/friend I love and care about? (After friends betrayed him.)?

    My friends fell out and betrayed the one friend I do love and care for (we don’t have a label realy just a great connection) 

    I also felt betrayed by the friends after they dragged me into this mess with my friend, and I feel realy stuck in the middle.

    the friends failed to listen to me as I wanted felt we should give him a chance,as I know he didn’t realy do much wrong and didn’t hear me out.

    After admitting my feelings about  him to the others they decided not to include me in the chat they had with him, which I knew would get wrong on the get go without me.

    Also they never told me how it went so I could access the situation for myself, as I felt they were so blinded by hate and they don’t know him like I do and make a mistake, as a result they decided to tell other people without even talking to me about it, I tbh didn’t want anything to do with the betrayal of my friend, as I don’t believe any if it was true.

    But also his ex best friend told me I’m to be exiled if I talk them.

    Just I have no idea what to say to him as I feel I’m betraying them both if I talk to him, but I need to cuz of how serious the accusions they said about him. my only option is to talk to him about that, I didn’t want to go through with it, but at the same time I am sick just seeing all the sh*t thier talking about him, conjured up by the ‘bestfriend’ who would stop at nothing getting thier way. Even if it’s to silence me  

    What should I tell my friend as they stabbed him in the back?

  • How to understand if a guy has bad intentions ?

    There's a co worker who stares at me and smiles. He had been doing this for a while, since he's good looking I thought maybe it's just testing how many girls he can conquer. Well I decided to stop smiling back and greeting him, since he never said hello to me. Well one day I saw a him with another female co worker and they were talking about me and looking at me so I felt uncomfortable and went away. The same day there was a public transport strike and when I needed my shift at 22 pm he was waiting for me outside pretending to smoke a cigarette (I say he pretended cause he was coughing, he was clearly not used to it). He told me if I wanted he could take me home by car, I said no, he was a total stranger to me and I didn't trust him. It would have been 20 miles in the opposite direction of his home to take me home, so why would he do that? It costs money and time. He offered to wait with me until my mom came to pick me up because (his words) "I don't want someone to comeand kidnap you". We stayed at the bus stop waiting and talked a bit about hobbies ans stuff. He seemed a quiet guy by the way. Just weird cause he was waiting for me outside. Anyway, when my mom came he greeted her (is that normal?) Saying good evening and smiled at me and went to his car. It was weird. The guy kept smiling all the time. The following days he just said hello and smiled at me but we didn't talk. He just helped me with some things but we didn't small talk. When I asked his co worker she told me

    My friends fell out and betrayed with the one friend I do love and care for (we don’t have a label realy just a great connection)

  • How do older people without children make friends outside cities?

    So my wife and I bought a house a few years ago in a nice town far from a major city with a good school district hoping to raise a family in it. It turns out now we can’t have kids. Most people out here have kids due to the good schools and don’t really have time to or want to go out and make friends since they’re so busy with their kids and we can’t really relate to any of these people since we don’t have kids while they do, and have completely different lives than them. Plus we don’t really want to be around kids as they make us jealous and remind us of something we can’t have. How is it possible to make friends in an environment like this. And all our relatives live over 3000 miles away. We basically bought this house for nothing

  • My adult son's lying has got worse in lockdown ?

    He has been lying to us for years, even over trivial stuff. He always lies about where he goes, which friends he's seeing (even though we don't ask), and things he buys with his money. He's basically leading a double life!

    Since last year when  lockdown came to UK, the lying got even worse and he shows absolutely no remorse for what he does. He even goes as far as bragging to everyone how good a liar he is.

    He now lies nearly everyday to us saying he's "going for a walk" or he's at work for the whole day when really he isn't and is probably going to covid hotspots.

    One time, my son said he was at work, but I saw him at a bus stop in the afternoon when I went for a run in the neighborhood. When he saw me, he then ran off. Another time, there was an emergency so I phoned his work and his boss said that he was on annual leave. I have no idea what he gets up to these days.
