I miss my husband! I want him back. Today is his birthday, and I wish he'd come home.

I'm a compulsive liar. I hurt everyone around me with my lies. I can't accept the world I'm living in as my reality so I make up stories that I tell to my friends to seem more interesting, to them and to myself. Whenever my real friends find out that I'm lying it hurts them and it hurts me most of all. And I can't stop. There's a girl I really love and I've been lying to her for as long as I've known her. She's in love with me too, and has caught me lying twice already. She's always forgiven me and told me nothing could ever make her hate me. I'm still lying to her even though I promised I never would again. She probably doesn't know I am, but then again maybe she does. I'm really paranoid about whether people know I'm lying or not all the time. If she finds out again she might leave me no matter what she said before. I can't imagine her putting up with my lies again. If she does I will kill myself because I want to marry her someday and I could never love anyone else.

I am tired of living. I have HIV. I am in debt. My mother is on drugs. I'm gay. I don't have a father. I'm on probation. I can't find a job because they fail to see the felony-evading arrest is not a conviction. It's simply an arrest. I'm homeless. I'm living with someone who wants me for sex. He treats me crazy because I won't let him have sex with me. My whole life is miserable. I'm living a lie. I can't find a job - even though I'm certain this is the career God wants me to pursue. I feel hopeless. Sometimes I find myself doubting God's existence. I recently graduated college. I try to convince myself I can make it, but I have been thinking of taking my life. I don't want to live stressful. I don't want to be depressed. Why do we have troubles? People say it builds character and strength. I need to know what life book they are reading. I want these issues to disappear. I want to live with no drama. What is my life coming to? I don't know. I wish I had the answers. I'm disturbed.

I just can't let it go. I'm sorry. I hate that it's turned into the white elephant in the room whenever the topic comes up. But I've been hurt before by you in the same situation. Everyone said then that I was stupid for allowing you in my life. Before you, I've realized now, I had alot less baggage. I wish in some small way I never had met you. That you didn't walk into my life and sweep me off my feet. I wish I wouldn't love you as much as I do, simply because it'd be easier for me to up and walk away. I wish. . . alot of things. Alot of stupid, idiotic, whining things. And I'm sorry to you, reader, for having to read it and listen to it. I didn't use to be this way. I used to have a backbone and a heart. Not to mention a mind of my own. If anyone's found them, please either return them or smash them completely. Thanks.

I have a boyfriend and friends with benefits.... I didn't mean to do this but it just presented itself....

I cheated on my boyfriend last night. And it felt amazing. And the worst part is, I don't feel guilty about it, I feel more empowered and satisfied.

well where do I begin. i have always been faithful to my boyfriend of 8 years. recently i went on a business trip with my company, and i had an affair with a co-worker that was my mentor and friend. when we came home we fogot about it and continued to work professionally. one day we were speaking about the situation, and my phone called my boyfriend......yes ....my phone accidently called my boyfriend, and he listened to our conversation for 15 minutes. nothing will ever be the same. he was my bestfriend, now we cannot get along for anything. and i am continuing to see my coworker.....i know it will never lead to a relationship but we are still good friends and respect eachother. my boyfriend wants me to quit my job, but i make good money in my profession. i am so confused and do not know what to do. i need some advise

All my adult life has been one of constant suffering: I married a guy whom I thought would be a good provider because he has a college education; I was dead wrong. We have been married 21 years now and if he has worked 7 years it is too much. See he has not been able to hold a job for very long and he has refused to do anything outside of his field. Why am I with him? We have a son I dearly love and I don't want to hurt him with a divorce, he is an honor student and very well adjusted. I have been the sole bread-winner most of our marriage, we have lost several houses that I have brought through the years, I have had to declare bankruptcy several times already. I have not gone on vacation for many years and I feel miserable. I feel like I work for free, I live from paycheck to paycheck and I feel like I am constantly holding my breath. I live in fear of ending up in the streets because of my constant lack of money to pay my bills. Any advice.?
