Email him, if in person discussions are hard. “Please forgive me for doing this over email, but I struggle sometimes to find the right words when in person, so I thought this would work best. I just want you to know I’m really struggling, and though my grades haven’t suffered yet, it feels like my projects are the worst in the class and the embarrassment I feel from this makes it really hard to summon the courage to go to class at times. You’re such a great teacher I’m just struggling with my performance. I’ve scheduled help from a mental health counselor already, but if there’s anything you might suggest that could help with this too, I’d appreciate any guidance or support you’d be willing to offer or provide.”

What is the class overall grade based on? You said none of your assignments have gotten a grade lower than an A-. Does that include the projects you don't feel are "good enough?" Is attendance factored into the grade?

If it is, you need to stop cutting class. If it's not, you should still stop cutting class, but realize you're creating a problem where one doesn't exist. You're projecting your insecurities onto your projects. Why would you assume your professor inherently feels bad for you and would give you good grades? There's no need for you to be e-mailing him explaining yourself unless you literally need to.

So the advice is to talk to that counselor first and foremost. This is entirely about your self-esteem and insecurities. There's no need to meet with him. Good luck.

Man brother she has you on lock. Try and find your backbone and take back some control. She is never going to really be back with you , if you are a weakling. You are playing the pick me dance, kissing her butt. Stop that! It never works, it only serves to reinforce her opinion that you are spineless and will be waiting around to take her when she is done torturing you. Find your spine again and move on already.

It’s not intrinsically a problem. Lots of people can enjoy saucy photos, and even full-on porn and experience no negative effects on their relationships.

So is it a problem for you? That’ll vary from person to person. And only you can decide. If it is, know before hand where you draw the line. Any bikini pic or just sexualized ones? Is it just the liking or is the viewing a problem? What about porn? Remember to think about how you draw this line affects his life, banning him from seeing his sister’s beach vacation photos would be too much. Tell him you want to discuss y’all’s sexual media consumption and be ready for him to tell you what he’s not comfortable with you viewing either. And remember he can choose to walk away from the relationship over this, but that just means you’re not compatible.

Personally, I would consider that break up worthy.

Its the dishonesty for me. The finances in a relationship is something that needs transparency.

He told you he made x amount, saved x amount, from that you went:

>Together we can afford xyz, we can get by without struggle, and progress financially into a future.
>
>It would be safe for me invest into this romantic relationship

He led you into a false sense of security to win you over. Once the truth revealed, your original perception was shattered.

Now its... I make significantly less, have no savings, no desire to progress career... And because you emotionally invested in me, we're getting married. Support me. I locked you in.

When you think about it... It comes off like a trap.

I wouldn't be able to trust my partner for it. That would be a nail in the coffin for me.

Child? And I said 32. Let’s not stray away here. She’s an adult well beyond. Now as far as everything else she’s been awesome. But I take some blame I allowed both our honeymoon phase and emotions make dumb decisions are rush us into a relationship when I had already knew she had these sugar daddies and lived with her ex who’s now her roommate but she has always communicated and after this I feel if she takes the necessary, steps it can be redeemed. I’ve been through much worse females who had no intentions on improving themselves, or others let alone, even having going to therapy.
