Updated post 100: Sorry this is long. Awkward love life :(

Parents favouring my sister
My parents always favoured my sister when I was growing up. They would never admit to it and my mother always vehemently insists that we were/are treated equally but that's not the case. I was always the black sheep, always told off and told how awful I was, and my sister was the golden child. I don't harbour bad feeling…

Dilema re house & uni - not sure what to do
I'll try and keep this short. 42 year old, went to uni 3 years ago to get my degree - all boding well I'll get a BA in History in 3 weeks time. My plan had always been to go and teach in China when I graduated, but I'd planned to do my honours year. My beloved dog died 3 months ago so I've brought forward my plans and have…

Some days I feel enormously broody...
...and then, within minutes, I think "oh hell no!". No to the pain and changes in my body, no to the nappies/sick/sleepless nights, no to the (possible) career disruptions, no to the financial constraints, etc. I know that the above probably sounds like an immature and uninformed assessment of the complete picture of…

do you go out on your own or with others?
I feel a bit silly posting this, but I’m in a bit of a rut and I can’t see a way out. Due to circumstances I’ve become a bit isolated from other people. I have no family nearby, no friends, and I gave up an awful job years ago, and have been living as a home-maker. I am by nature a bit of a loner, and usually I don’t mind…

I hate feeling like this and usually I am very good at letting anger go but today I just can't. Any tips? I don't want…

Sometimes struggling with sense of loneliness and isolation; anyone else?
Hello - I am really just posting to see if anyone else finds themselves in a comparable situation, as at the moment I feel quite alone with it all. In many ways, I am tremendously lucky. I have a job that is well-paid, secure, and that I (mostly!) enjoy; I have financial freedom because of this and because I do not have a…
