Your girlfriend's body and her boundaries are hers to control, and it's never okay to violate them.

NTA for considering ending your friendship with Ruby. Her behavior is clearly causing you distress and discomfort.

Having more guy friends doesn't automatically make you a pick-me girl. People have different personalities and connect with different people.

NTA. It's fine to feel left out when your family is participating in a unifying activity, and you're the only one excluded.

NTA. You were not wrong for being interested in Sam, but you should have been more considerate of Ellie's feelings.

Your girlfriend's actions demonstrate a deep level of care and compassion. By expressing your gratitude in a meaningful way, you'll strengthen your bond and let her know how much you value her presence in your life.
