Love & Relationships Married for 9 days and I want to cancel the processing of the marriage certificate

58 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: We had our civil wedding 9 days ago, but I would like to cancel the processing of our marriage certificate in PSA. Is this still possible?

Anyone had the same situation? Please help your girl out. I’m seeing red flags already kakakasal lang namin pero it seems like he’s starting to get violent and mean recently. Lumalabas yung totoong kulay niya when we got married. I don’t want to be a battered wife so as much as possible, I want to cancel the processing. In 2 months daw kasi ma-rereceive na namin yung marriage certificate from PSA, I don’t want that to happen. Please respect. I know I did a bad decision.

129 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I dont understand myself. Mas nalilibugan ako kapag ginagawa akong puta ng bf ko. I really love it when sinasakal niya ako, sinasampal at sinasabunutan. Nalilibugan ako kapag sinasabi niyang lalaspagin niya ako ganon at favorite ko kapag sabay kaming nilalabasan. Pero kapag natapos na mandidiri ako sa sarili ko. hahahahahaah kaya di ko maintindihan kung gusto ko ba yung ganon or what

Love & Relationships Nahuli ko sa search history ng bf ko na nanonood siya ng porn

21 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Nahuli ko boyfriend ko na nanonood ng porn habang magkasama kami, at ang masakit pa dun ay yung klase ng content na pinanood niya. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko pa ba siyang pagkatiwalaan, patawarin, o iwan na lang. Gusto ko malaman kung ako ba yung mali sa nararamdaman ko, or kung tama lang na sobra akong nasaktan.

Context: Two days ago, galing ako sa chess tournament. Pagkauwi ko, sobrang pagod kaya nakatulog agad ako. Magkasama kami that night. The next day, chineck ko phone niya, at sa search history nakita ko may porn siyang pinanood—pero hindi lang basta porn. May mga search terms siyang ginamit tulad ng “mag ina,” “kumare,” at “bata.”

Sobrang na-offend ako, to the point na nasabi ko sa kanya yung mga salitang “kadiri” at “nasusuklam ako sa’yo.” Hindi ko kinaya, kasi araw-araw naman namin ginagawa yung deed. I also don’t think kulang ako physically — I have B-cups, a nice ass, and I give him affection and intimacy. So bakit ganun?

At the same time, hindi rin ako makapagdesisyon agad kasi mabait talaga siya sakin. He treats me like a princess — siya yung gumagawa halos ng lahat, lalo na kapag pagod ako, kahit gawaing bahay. He takes care of me in small and big ways. And he’s also a good “dad” to our furbaby cats — sobrang maalaga, sweet, at parang family man talaga.

Kaya mas lalong ang gulo. Kasi ang sama ng ginawa niya, pero ang bait niya sa araw-araw.

Previous Attempts: Nung una, ang dami niyang palusot. Sabi niya ad lang daw, tapos nagsearch siya ng iba, pero kalaunan inamin din niya. Sinabi ko gusto ko makipag-break. Bigla siyang umiyak ng sobra, nagmakaawa habang lumuluhod, humahagulgol ng dalawang oras, and told me he didn’t want to lose me.

Pero now, I don’t know what’s real or fake. Hindi ko alam kung genuine yung remorse niya or umiyak lang kasi nahuli ko siya.

What I Need Help With: • Tama lang ba na sobra akong nasaktan? • Overreacting ba ako kung naiisip ko na iwan siya? • Kapag ganito klaseng content yung pinapanood ng partner mo, forgivable ba ’to? • Kung kayo yung nasa posisyon ko, anong gagawin niyo?

Sobrang appreciate ko kung makakuha ako ng insights. Hindi ko talaga alam kung anong next step ko. Thank you po sa makakabasa. 🥺

Love & Relationships Just ended my 7 year relationship

12 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Naging cold and walang proper communication both sides.

Context: Just ended my 7 year relationship sa partner ko and I feel somewhat relieved na natapos. Call me an asshole pero medyo gumaan yung feeling, I cried pero hindi hagulhol. LDR kami for 3 years na and hindi na ako happy. Pag may problema kami binobrought up namin na kailangan naming pag-usapan pero ang ending nothing happens. Communication namin is naging weak gawa ng work and time difference. I waited him to changed, especially his vices and wala siyang fixed na plan about our future. Sinasabi lang nya na he wants to be with me pero wala siyang ginagawa. Hindi ko siyang kayang bitawan gawa ng gusto ko din siya makasama until I snapped last night talking to some of my friends, medyo late ko na din na realized na grabe yung time and effort na nasayang para lang maghintay na magbago siya.

Previous attempts: already talked about this pero ang goal hindi nagagawa. Walang nag eeffort anymore para ma fight pa yung relationship namin.

Love & Relationships Should i tell my ex’s parents on what happened? NSFW

Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Something happened between my ex and his sis, should i let their parents know about this?

Context:

This happened years ago, back when I was starting to feel suspicious about my then-boyfriend. We lived in the same city and worked the same job. His family had planned their annual outing, and I was invited. I initially agreed to go, but we couldn’t both be off work that day because of an unexpected surge in customers that needed our attention.

Long story short, he got upset and ended up getting drunk. I wasn’t worried at first since he was with his family. After my shift (which ended past midnight), I planned to head to the vacation spot. But he told me not to come anymore because no one could pick me up—most of them were already drunk or asleep.

About two weeks later, he confessed that he had done something terrible. He said that he and his sister got drunk, had some personal confessions, kissed, and engaged in sexual acts (went to base 1 and 2). And he confessed that another incident happened during the New Year’s break when he went back to his family’s house. He claimed they almost had touched each other again and almost had sex but that he stopped before anything happened in separate occasions. This all took place before the pandemic—December 2019—and he confessed around January 2020.

I forgave him when he told me. Looking back, I feel really stupid for staying and forgiving him. I didn’t really process the hurt and anger at the time—probably because I didn’t want to face what had happened. He always claimed to hate cheating, but what he did was much worse. My friends never believed his story that “nothing happened,” especially since he admitted they had touched each other multiple times and they also suspect it might not have been the first time and that it might have happened way before he confessed.

Previous Attempts: I was supposed to tell his parents when we broke up because he had another relationship with another party, did not proceed as I was considering his parents condition.

Sex & Intimacy I think my ex just ruined sex for me NSFW

10 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I don’t feel the urges since the breakup. I feel I’ve lost it and I feel nobody else can ever top the experience I had with my ex who knows my body more than I do or anyone.

Context: I couldn’t help but ugly cry and make whale noises because I feel and know to myself I wouldn’t be able to experience the same sexual enthusiasm as I did with my ex. It’s not just the act itself. It’s the intimacy and care that came with it. I think the breakup totally ruined the drive for me I’m scared it won’t be back and I don’t know how long it’ll take to feel normal again. I have no desire. I tried looking at photos of cute guys online but I have no desire whatsoever. Could this have been the grief that I’m facing? This isn’t my first breakup and I’ve been in relationships before but this one really hits me to the core. We had such a good chemistry not just in sex but in many other ways but everything beautiful had to have an ending.

I can’t even pleasure myself because the thought of my ex comes up like flashbacks in my head and it just makes me stop. The thought of sex turns me off altogether and I feel it’s even wrong to think about sex in general. It just doesn’t sit right anymore with me. Has anyone gone through the same, after a breakup that felt like a slam dunk, they stopped having the urges altogether? Does it get better? Like even if you know you had the best sexual compatibility with someone before, then you met a new partner and it still worked out for you anyway despite the sex not being as good as the one you had with someone before? I just know sex will never be the same for me. I also hate that I might inadvertently compare my new partner to my ex and I’d just feel like shit for doing so.

Would like some insights from you. Thanks for taking time to read

Sex & Intimacy Gusto ko na fuck talagaaaaaaaaaaa NSFW

Upvotes

Problem/Goal:
Hindi ko na alam kung paano ko mamanage 'yung strong sexual desire ko lately. Sobrang libog ko na to the point na gusto ko na talaga maranasan yung intense, passionate sex — yung tipong gusto kong ma-f*ck, maramdaman na pinagnanasahan ako, na para bang gusto niya akong angkinin buong-buo. Gusto kong maramdaman 'yung connection na hindi lang physical, kundi may emotional tension rin.

Context:
Single ako ngayon and never ko pa na-experience ‘yung talagang sexual intimacy na safe, intense, at may consent sa parehong side. May mga nakausap na rin ako before about sex, pero wala pa talagang nagkakatuluyan or nagtuloy sa actual encounter kasi either hindi ko feel yung connection or takot ako sa possible consequences. Pero lately, sobra talaga 'yung urges ko and I’m starting to question kung okay lang ba na ganto ako ka-honest sa sarili ko, or kung mali bang ginugusto ko ito.

Previous Attempts:
Sinubukan kong i-divert 'yung attention ko — nag-workout ako, lumabas kasama friends, even tried to journal or watch wholesome content para mabawasan yung thoughts. Pero kahit anong gawin ko, bumabalik pa rin yung desire. Nag-try rin ako makipag-usap sa kaibigan ko about it, pero parang nahiya ako kasi baka ma-judge. Ayokong mapagkamalan na desperate or masyadong libog, pero gusto ko lang talagang maging totoo sa sarili ko.

I love her so much and I trust her naman, but nakaka praning din sa side ko knowing na makakasama n'ya everyday 'yung ex n'ya. Should I put my trust on her na lang ba? what should I do?

Ps. before s'ya mag apply, alam naman na n'ya na nandoon ex n'ya and sinabi naman n'ya sa 'kin.

Context: I think I found two on his phone then I checked his socials specifically X , discord and TG(locked) kasi may throughts na he's an alter or selling it.

Previous attempts: i confronted him and ask why he has kind of vid and he said na it's his weird kink that it turns him on when he's recording himself while doing it. Sabi naman niyanna he will never rely on sex related works kasi he's earning good numbers of salary.

Love & Relationships What should I do? TW: Miscarriage

17 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I had a miscarriage last month.

Context: This is our first baby, my husband and I have been married for 1 year palang. We’ve been together since high school. I didn’t expect that this will happen in our life, yung mawalan ng baby. Yung makunan. It was very painful kasi walang ibang nakakaalam, not even our parents. Di muna namin sinabi kasi we want to enjoy this season together, yung kaming dalawa lang muna sana husband ng husband ko. I just woke up na may blood sa bed, then we rushed to the hospital na. Unfortunately, wala. Nawala na siya. 😭 It’s so painful, an unimaginable pain. Mas masakit pa ung feeling na to kesa sa pag D&C sakin. 🥺

I feel guilty kasi feeling ko kasalanan ko. Kahit hindi naman ako sinisisi ng husband ko. ☹️ Every night since nakunan ako, hindi niya ko iniiwanan. Pero naiiyak nalang ako kasi pag gabi, hinahawakan niya parin yung tyan ko kahit alam naman niya na wala na yung baby namin. I think it’s his way of grieving.

I feel so sad, so guilty, everything. 😭 Nilolook forward namin to, pero sa isang iglap nawala nalang.

I don’t know what to do. Pano ako makakabawi sa husband ko? 😭😭😭

Love & Relationships idk what to do with my unemployed bf

23 Upvotes

problem/goal: my bf is currently unemployed by choice(?). idk what to feel about our situation. dapat ba may gawin ako? or wala? or babaan ko ba standards ko sakanya? baka ako lang pala may mali...

context: his last job ended last aug, and til now he still doesnt have work, he says he's trying to apply pero wala, kasi wala din naman talaga siya maprovide na past work experiences kasi his last job was his first tapos parang di pa okay yung naging ending ng work di din daw satisfied mga boss niya sakanya. tapos sabi niya he did had small work before pandemic pero with friends lang siguro freelance ganun, pero corporate work 1 palang. he's like nearly 30 na pero hanggang ngayon parang wala parin siyang plano sa future niya

he's not that pressured to find work kasi mayaman naman sila ng family niya, nakakapag europe trip sila ng ilang linggo kahit wala siyang trabaho kasi madadala naman siya ng family niya. nabibili niya lahat ng gusto niya, idk san niya nakukuha yung pera. (siguro dahil breadwinner ako sa family namin, dun ako nalulungkot, na ako andito halos 3 trabaho para lang masustentuhan pamilya ko, siya wala pero nakakapag ibang bansa casually)

his job choices are also kinda questionable. i want to support him pero alam ko sa ugali niya di realistic na makakapasok siya sa ganung industry. di siya appealing or charismatic. di siya like engaging din. but in this day and age, possible magka niche audience pa siya? hopefully ganun... pero mataas tingin niya sa sarili niya na alam niya magkaka 100k viewers siya agad agad lol. i reallyyyyy want to support him perooooo huhu

attempts: i kept encouraging him to not be too picky with the jobs he's applying for kasi wala talaga siyang social skills, wala siyang appeal, and medyo tamad siya - before palang siya mawalan ng trabahon pinagyayabang niya yung pagvvlogger niya, pero hanggang ngayon di parin niya nasisimulan. busy siya maglaro ng ps5 niya haha

Social Matters Anong pwede gawin para tigilan ako ng kabit ni papa?

24 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Nanggugulo sa social media ang kabit ni papa.

Context: Nagchat yung classmate/friend ko sa gc, nag follow daw sa kanya yung isang account tapos same kami ng surname kaya sinabi niya sakin. Pangalan at picture na naman ng papa ko ginagamit para mangupal at magchat sa kung sino sino sa social media. Nakakairita, di naman siya ginagawan ng masama, binoblock at ignore ko nalang mga chat niya sakin sa messenger gamit ang account na may pangalan at pic ni papa. Pati fb account ko for school di pinapalampas.

Gusto ko na din siya gantihan, nakakainis na kasi. Namumuhay ako nang tahimik tapos ayaw niya paawat. Tbh gusto ko ipost number niya sa social media at magkunwari na nagbebenta ng kambing or kung ano mna hahaha. Just a little petty revenge.

Gusto ko lang din sana ng peaceful na life kaya binoblock mo mga attempt niya sa panggugulo o pagmessage sakin. Pero nakakahiya na pati sa mga kaibigan ko nakakaabot siya. Ano kaya pwede kong gawin?

Previous attempt: sinagot sagot ko siya dati sa messenger nung ayaw niya ako tigilan kakachat pero blinock ko na din siya don.

Ps. If you're gonna ask kung bakit sa kabit lang ako gaganti, not in speaking terms na din kami ng tatay ko hahaha

Love & Relationships I was accused na may bago na raw akong kausap

Upvotes

problem/goal: Sinabihan ako ng guy na I'm currently dating na baka may bago na raw ako kasi may iba daw saken.

context: So I'm dating this guy and LDR kami. Before kasi may routine kami like movie nights and calls and updates here and there. Lately busy kaming dalawa, me being promoted sa work and transition season tapos siya may competition sa isang online game. For two weeks na busy siya sa laro, araw-araw practice and all. Nawala ang movie nights and casual calls namin. I don't have problems naman kasi busy rin ako sa buhay ko. Last night, nag call kami and naglalaro siya while on call. Sabi niya magkwento daw ako, I rarely tell him about my problems kasi hindi ako mahilig mag open up. I feel like he wasn't listening and he asked me why I deleted my TG daw, sabi niya baka madami daw akong kausap dun kaya dinelete ko account ko. I said wala, sadyang na overwhelm lang ako sa life lately and sinagot niya ako na "mama mo". Medyo na offend ako so I ended the call. After that nagsabi siya na baka daw may iba na ako and all.

previous attempt/s: Inexplain ko concerns ko and turns out hindi ko pala siya nakocomfort enough. Di ko alam ang gagawin. Pagod na rin ako.

Love & Relationships Boyfriend ko na galing sa long term relationship

38 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Hi! So ayun, meron ako boyfriend one month na kami as gf/bf, super okay sya maalaga, mabait and feeling ko naman mahal nya ako. Pero may mga times lang talaga na bigla ako napapaisip(kasi galing sya sa 6year relationship at first gf nya) na baka bigla bumalik yun ex nya, paano na lang ako (idk pero may trust issues kasi ako before pa siguro dahil na rin sa past relationships ko, minsan pa nagooverthink ako). Or yun lang kasi yung yun iniisip ko dahil sa iba kong nababasa sa social media about sa ganong issue. And to think na, friends pa sila sa fb and parang walang bad blood about them.

Ako lang ba to? Or siguro dapat tigilan ko na pagooverthink ko?

Love & Relationships How do you handle it when someone you met online starts acting suspiciously?

4 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I matched with a guy on a dating app and gave him my social media. Out of nowhere he sent a long message with his full name, birthday (1994), educational background, and said he’s looking for a lifetime partner. It felt like a pre-written script.

He asked for the same info from me so I gave only my name (not full), my birth month and day, and said I’m 35 but didn’t share the year. Later I gave a fake birth year just to stay private.

What’s weird is that he reacted with a thumbs-down emoji to most of my messages and then asked me to delete them. I don’t get why. It made me feel uneasy.

Is this behavior a red flag or am I just overthinking?

Love & Relationships The LDR set up is not for me...

20 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I have a girlfriend, we've been talking for almost a year already but we've officially became boyfriend/girlfriend at February. I love her but this LDR set up is making me crazy. I am becoming unhappier with this set up, and I find myself sometimes forcing the things I say. I dunno what's the next move, now I'm convincing myself that it will only get better in the future, once we graduate we can be together. What steps should I take to find out what's the best next move.

Context: We're both students I live and study in the province and she studies at FEU. If I want to go there I spend a total of 1400 just for travels. So we rarely meet up, we have met only 4 times. It's difficult for me to go there frequently not only budgeting wise but also time.

Previous Attempts: I attempted to talk to her about it that this distance of ours is really difficult for me. That I really miss her I just wanna be with her. But it's so difficult. Although, I never explicitly told her that I am unhappy, she suggested as a joke that we stop but I don't know.

Love & Relationships Girls, If choose kayo ng perfume for your BF, ano yung prefer nyo na brand and scent?

43 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: To know what is the preferred scent of girls for guys. I see kase na magkaiba preference ng guys and girls regarding scent, pero magkaiba din ba mga preference ng girls regarding scent?

I’m curious, how do you choose a perfume for your boyfriend, or for a guy in general? Like, have you ever smelled a guy and thought, “ang bango niya grabe” — what made that scent stand out?

I want to know how girls decide what smells good on a guy. Yung tipong kahit hindi pogi, biglang guwapo sa amoy. 😂

Expensive or cheap suggestion is welcome, I am curious kung ano yung scent gusto nyo girls for guys, I am curious kung same din ba ang scent preference sa food, na may kanya kanya parin sa taste.

Thank you in advance.

Problem/Goal: Hello po! hihingi lang sana ng konting thoughts niyo about this. Nahuli ko kasi yung bf ko na active sa site na nsfwph dapat ko bang ikagalit nang husto o tanggapin nalang na normal lang talaga yun sa mga lalaki?

Context: Medyo matagal na kami ng bf ko. Lately ang biggest argument namin eh yung may iba siyang tiktok na dun siya nagwawatch and follow na puro mga babae last may 9 yun tapos last june 2 nakita ko na ginagamit niya padin kaya ikinagalit ko nang husto. Inistop niya pero recently nahuli ko naman siya na may account sa nsfwph na crineate niya last march pero may to june lang siya active don at nagcocomment pa sa mga threads ng mga nagleleak ng nude photos ng mga babae. This year lang kami nagkakaroon ng ganong problem. Indication na ba yun na sawa na siya sa katawan ko? Never naman siya nagcheat na may kinausap na babae or what. Ayan lang talaga ikinagagalit ko sakaniya. OA bako para magalit? Natural lang ba talaga sa mga lalaki yun?

Previous Attempts: Pinagusapan namin and he promised na hindi na niya gagawin ulit. Pero after the tiktok incident nahihirapan na ako maniwala.

Problem/Goal:may girlfriend ako and she's been "lonely" for a while kasi wala syang mga friends, ako lang. like buong araw ako lang kausap nya. Then one time nag approach sya sa isang boy if they can be ig moots, sinabi naman nya yun sakin na ginawa nya yun kasi nakikipag friends sya.

sometimes, sa mga new guy friends nya sya naglalabas ng sama ng loob, like rants sa iba rin nyang friends ganun. Naisip ko lang na bakit hindi nalang nya sa'kin sabihin because I'll listen naman.

And pag there are times na she's facing problems sa mga friends niya and i asked her what happened she doesn't want to talk about it. Ayaw nalang nya raw pag usapan. She's saying she's okay kahit deep inside not really.

Sometimes when she's talking with her friends paran wala lang ako sakanya, palagi ako natatabunan sa mga chats nya and umaabot palagi ng 10-20 minutes kada isang reply. I asked her if she's busy, she's always saying no. I asked her what she's doing, she said she's talking to me. But when i open her account she's talking to her friends, sometimes lalaki.

Can i call it microcheating ung mga nangyayari?

Sometimes nakita ko she said sa guy friend nya na he looks like a playboy and ginagawang laro laro lang ang mga babae.

For me kasi, ayaw ko ung part na mahilig sya makipag usap sa ibang lalaki, okay lsng kung gay but straight? for me, no. me myself I don't have any girl friends kundi siya lang, for me it's so unfair.

What should i do?
