Does taking breaks really help your relationship?

Shontay from Chicago by way of Oakland: I moved to Oakland from Chicago 3 months ago. My boyfriend from Chicago and I broke up because we know we’re too far apart to make long distance work, but I just love him so much. What do I do?

Why do girls who are in relationships wear revealing clothing to attract boys, if they already have a man?

My boyfriend told one of my friends (not knowing she was my friend) that I was just “some girl”. Do you think he’s taking me as a joke?

There was this guy I was dating for a while then drama happened and we wanted to take a break so we both can get refocused on what we want in our lives. We haven’t spoken in a while so I was just worried. I tried talking to him but he never answers. I need ideas. What do I do? Just wait for him to talk to me? Or keep trying to contact him? I still care a lot about him and last time about 2 months ago he said he cared for me too and just needed some space. I’m confused on what to do. Help?

I was thinking about asking someone out this weekend but I'm kind of nervous. I was thinking about saying it straight up like would you go out with me? Or should I do something sweet?

My Best friend and I both like the same guy and I use to go out with him and I guess I still have feelings for him but I don’t know what to do about my best friend.

Lately my boyfriend’s been in a bad mood all the time. He doesn’t like to talk about his feelings but I’m not sure if it’s something I’m doing. How do I bring it up?

My boyfriend won’t let me check his phone. Does that mean he’s hiding something?

Me and my girl got into it last night and I said some things I didn’t mean that really hurt her. How can I make it right?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for awhile now and he still hasn’t introduced me to any of his friends or family. I’m starting to feel like he’s keeping me a secret. What should I do?

My girlfriend is always flirting with my friends. She says she’s just being friendly but I feel disrespected and all my friends tease me about how they could get her if they wanted to. How do I bring it up without sounding possessive?

My girlfriend always assumes the worst and never believes me. How do I show her I’m trustworthy?

My boyfriend told me he was going out of town with his best friend all week this week but I ran into his friend at the store yesterday and he knew nothing about it. IDK how to confront him about it

My boyfriend only acts affectionate when we’re alone. When we’re with his friends he won’t even hold my hand. It’s not like I always need to be all over him but it’d be nice to know he cares enough to claim me in public. How do I tell him I feel like I’m being hidden?

My girlfriend and I went to the mall and she got upset and started to yell at me because I wouldn’t buy her a pair of jeans, I haven’t spoken to her in a day. How do I approach this situation?
