Problem/Goal: I participated in cheating as the third party and I wanna feel better about myself.

Context: I had sex with my fwb guy friend before he made it official with his GF. I didn’t know he was already pursuing her when we’ve been doing this for months, specifically Q1 of this year.

Then I kinda interrogated him about this account I keep on seeing viewing my stories, and he admitted na he was seeing her but not as GF/BF but getting there na daw. She doesn’t know anything about our set up whatsoever.

I also told him that if one of us is seeing someone else, we need to end it ASAP.

I just feel icky because he also admitted na they also engaged in intercourse for his birthday. So ayun, again Idk what to do, I wanted to be mad at him but I just left him and muted him on all socials. I have not checked his account ever since as well.

How do I get this guilt off of m? Also I got my test results back if there’s stds and what not buti na lang wala.

I also don’t wanna be involved in their relationship anymore so no I won’t message the girl.

Previous attempt: Currently telling myself to stop with the FWB set ups and really just focus on my business and hobbies.

problem/goal: my daughter is eligible to represent either the Philippines or the US in an international competition, and we’re wondering which choice would give her the best opportunities.

context: my daughter has the option to represent either the Philippines or the US in an international competition since she was born in the US but is also eligible to represent the Philippines. she has been competing since she was a child and has spent years developing her skills in this field.

she currently attends high school in the Philippines, but our family also has strong ties to the US through our businesses, investments, and other connections. her training and competition expenses have always been privately funded by me rather than through any government or national program.

we’re trying to decide which would be the better choice. the US offers extensive training, experienced coaches, covers the expenses, and has a well established support system for its participants. it also offers the opportunity to build a strong network with other high achieving students, mentors, and professionals that could benefit her academically and professionally in the future. from what i know, the Philippines doesn’t provide anywhere near the same level of support.

another factor is that both my daughter and i want her to study abroad for university, which is why she’s taking the IB curriculum. i’m wondering if representing one country over the other would make any meaningful difference for future opportunities.

is there any reason to choose the Philippines over the US? are there any benefits or opportunities i’m overlooking, or is the US the clear choice?

edit: thanks for the input! just to clarify though, this is an academic competition, so brand deals or popularity aren’t really part of the equation. we’re mainly looking at the quality of training, support system, network, and long-term opportunities.

edited this because it looks like people couldn’t see my comments.

also, just to add more context: my daughter is a US citizen, which is why she’s eligible to represent the US. they reached out to us and have been encouraging her to represent the US. they offered online training, lessons, and support, including guidance from experienced coaches, personalized resources, and a structured support system to help her continue improving. they’ll also help with competition expenses and provide opportunities that could benefit her beyond the competition itself.

Problem/Goal:
I want advice on whether it’s reasonable to feel uncomfortable when my partner goes to a party without me, especially when there will be female friends there. I want to handle the situation in a healthy way without being controlling or creating unnecessary conflict.
Context:
We’re in a long-distance relationship, so we don’t get to spend time together in person very often. My partner was invited to a party that I’ll be unable to attend, and some of the people there are female friends. I do trust my partner, but the distance sometimes makes my insecurities stronger. I don’t want to stop them from having a social life, but I also don’t want to ignore my own feelings.
Previous Attempts:
I’ve tried reminding myself that trust is important and that I don’t want to be controlling. I’ve also communicated that I feel a little uncomfortable, but I’m still unsure if my feelings are reasonable or if I need to work on my own insecurities. I’m looking for honest opinions and advice from people who have been in similar situations.

problem/goal: just found out something recently, and idk what to do. i just cried for now.

context: nag post ako here sa reddit. idk how to put it here, bawal pala ang link. sa comment ko nalang ilalagay.

btw, ngayong araw lang, may nalaman na naman ako.

sa sobrang paranoid ko kanina, i tried looking for a discord server na parehas kami andun. upon searching and being a detective, nakita ko yung chats niya doon. KANINA LANG NANGYARI, AND DURING THAT TIME, NAKA SCHED NA MAG MEET KAMI. talagang nagkita pa kami, without me knowing na bumanat sya ng ganyan sa ibang girl sa dc?!

here's what i found:

girl (public server chat): Malawak luzon

him: (replied) maliit lang yan baby, pag nag meet up tayo

hindi ako nagmumura pero eto na PUTANGINA. GINAGO NIYA KO. SOBRANG LAKI NG TIWALA KO SAKANIYA, KAHIT JOKE PA 'TONG GINAWA NIYA. KAHIT BIRUAN BA NILA NG TROPA NIYA SA DC, HINDI KO ALAM KUNG TROPA BA NIYA TALAGA. OR RANDOM LANG PERO TANGINAA

HINDI KO TO MAKAKALIMUTAN. GRABE YUNG NGINIG KO AT GRABE YUNG IYAK KO NGAYON. TANGINA TALAGA ANG SAKIT. wala na akong pake kung makita man niya ‘tong post ko.

and mind you, this isn’t the first time he micro cheated on me. nangyari rin to during the night of our graduation.

to make the long story short, sa sobrang lala ng intuition ko, nakita kong nag view sya sa toga pic ng ex niligawan niya. kasi i have his gmail acc, and naka access din sa gdrive, nakikita ang recent na in-open and tadaaa! talagang nag effort siya kasi ibang program tong girl (same school kasi kami, pero kami lang ni bf same program) at nasa last banda ang surname, nagscroll pa talaga ha? itong ex niya na to ang talagang pinagseselosan ko una pa lang, hindi ko alam kung bakit, andaming signs before, like sobrang minahal niya at bukod sa maganda kasi talaga. lalo pa na once niya na iniyakan. i think, TOTGA niya.

pero grabe ah hahahaha, instead na core memory ang graduation, ayan maalala ko, masakit sa puso :(

sobrang paranoid na ata ako. kapag cinonfront ko sya dito, isipin kaya niyang stalker ako? o di kaya obsessed? hindi naman ako ganito, hindi ko alam kung bakit. wala na kasi akong peace. bigla kong nararamdaman na may gusto akong i-check.

previous attempts: none. please what should i do? i’m still processing things. hindi ko rin alam kung itutuloy ko i-confront in person at dun sabihin lahat, kasi ayoko sa chat. hindi ko na alam, nanghihina ako ng sobra at parang sasabog na utak ko, im done crying too. alam kong need kong i-distract sarili ko, pero at the end of the day, maiisip ko pa rin to at mararamdaman ko na naman. alam kong kailangan ko nang bumitaw pero hindi ko magawa kasi natatakot din akong masaktan sobra. pero alam ko sa sarili kong wala na ‘tong pag-asa.

problem/goal: I want to know if I overreacted by withdrawing my acceptance before my start date, or if these were reasonable red flags. I don’t want to waste the company’s time, but I also didn’t feel comfortable proceeding under these circumstances.

context: I was accepted for a position, and from the beginning, the hiring process felt very rushed and disorganized.

• My interviews were often scheduled with only a few hours’ notice.
• I was informed of my pre-employment medical exam (PEME) on the same day I was expected to go, while I was already processing my government IDs.
• I informed HR that I would only be able to obtain my SSS and PhilHealth on Wednesday. They acknowledged this and moved my start date to Thursday.
• Despite this, they rarely replied to my messages whenever I asked about my remaining requirements.
• I was never told my salary package or employee benefits, even though they had already given me a start date.
• They never asked whether I wanted to proceed after the interviews. It just seemed like they automatically moved me through the hiring process.
• I was never given a formal job offer or employment contract to review, and I never signed any employment documents before being assigned a start date.

On the day I decided to withdraw, they suddenly called and texted me asking where I was because I was supposedly scheduled to submit my compliance requirements. By then, I had already sent my withdrawal message because I no longer felt comfortable with how everything was being handled.

previous attempts: Before withdrawing, I tried to communicate with HR several times regarding my pending requirements, salary package, and employee benefits, but my messages were not answered. I also complied with the requirements they requested and kept them updated about my availability for processing my government IDs. Since I still hadn’t received basic employment details or any documents to sign despite already being given a start date, I ultimately decided to withdraw my application.

Problem/Goal: How to ignore manager on social media?

Context: 2 weeks pa lang ako sa work nag follow and nag add na manager ko sa work. Ayoko i-accept kasi bakit? Hindi pa naman tayo ganun ka close. And hindi ko kasi msyado feel and napaka judger niya and super vocal siya sa opinions niya (kasi naririnig ko mga rants niya) so what if may na post ako?! Ang hilig niya pa naman mag feedback kahit hindi sa work.

Previous Attempts: No attempts. Request is just there, I am afraid baka i-confront niya ako sa team meeting namin sa Friday and wala ako masagot. 😭😭😭

Send help 😵‍💫

Problem/Goal: I'm unsure if I did the right thing by submitting my resignation letter because I'm experiencing health problem.

Context: I'm experiencing physical health problem since April. I had undergone check ups and therapy but it is inconsistent due to my boss not wanting me to be absent in work. This month, my physical health got worse and it is affecting how I walk and even my work. I can't get a proper rest since I have 72 hours of work per week. I am currently going to the doctor to do MRI and therapy.

My last day of work will be within on the first week of August. I'm planning to recover at home but it means I have to spend my savings because my health benefits from work will be cut off. In addition, I got a salary raise and I feel sad about it. Lastly, I can't visualize myself staying at work for another 5 months.

Previous Attempts: None

Problem/Goal:

I'm looking for advice on the best way to resolve my Smart postpaid account after receiving a collection email from a law office. I'm willing to pay my outstanding balance, but I also hope to resolve this fairly since I believe I relied on incorrect information given by a Smart store employee. I also want to avoid letting the balance continue to grow if possible.

Context:

Last November 2025, my phone got snatched together with my Smart prepaid SIM. I went to Smart SM Manila to replace it, but I was told there were no prepaid replacement SIMs available and that the only way to immediately recover my number was to avail of a postpaid plan.

Before agreeing, I specifically asked if I could have my SIM converted back to prepaid after three months because I'm only a student and knew I couldn't afford a postpaid plan long-term. The staff told me yes and said I just needed to return after three months.

Since my grandmother is the registered SIM owner and she's already a senior citizen, I also asked if I could just return by myself after three months instead of bringing her again. They also told me yes.

When I returned after three months, I was instead told that my grandmother still had to be physically present, which was different from what I had been told before. I paid my balance that day and left.

After that, I became busy with graduation and preparing for college. A few months later, my grandmother unfortunately suffered a stroke, making it almost impossible to bring her back to the branch. My bill eventually accumulated, and I've now received a collection email from a law office.

I'm not trying to avoid paying because I know I used the postpaid service. I just feel disappointed because I relied on what I was told before I agreed to the postpaid plan.

Previous Attempts:

• Visited Smart SM Manila multiple times.

• Paid the required postpaid fee and another payment after three months.

• Sent an email to the law office explaining my situation.

• Requested that Smart review my case and asked if I could pay through installments.

Problem/Goal:

So my wife and I discovered that we are pregnant. We are living in our own apartment, malayo sa parents namin (both side). My wife parents kasi is nasa abroad at nag aalaga ng lolo ng asawa ko, mama ko naman ay hindi na malakas at sakitin na.

Ang worry ko lang, pano kaya pag dating ni baby, parehas kami may work ng asawa ko sa corporate.

I'm working hybird setup, midshift.

My wife is wfh and once a month onsite (night shift and mid shift).

Any tips? Baka meron naka experience sa setup namin. Salamat po

Problem/goal:
I (33F) met a foreign guy here on Reddit almost two weeks ago. He actually lives in Pasay too, so it’s not long-distance. We’ve been talking every day, and honestly, I’m starting to like him.

He’s been kind, consistent, and says he’s looking for a serious relationship. He even told me he’d ask me out after he gets back from his trip to London.

The problem is… he almost seems too good to be true.
Before him, I was talking to another foreign guy I also met on Reddit. He kept sending me photos of himself and reassuring me that everything he was telling me was true. I wanted to believe him, but something felt off, so I decided to reverse image search one of his photos using Google Lens. It turned out he was using someone else’s pictures.

That experience really messed with my ability to trust people I meet online. Now I find myself questioning everything, even when someone hasn’t given me a reason to doubt them.

Part of me wants to ask him directly about the photos, especially since he said the picture he sent me was his and I tried Google Lens on it too, but nothing came up. Still, after what happened before, I can’t help but feel cautious.

If you were in my shoes, would you keep talking to him and see where it goes, or would you hold back emotionally until you’ve met in person and verified that everything is real?

Problem/Goal: Having a hard time deciding to pursue medicine

Context: I'm currently a 3rd year nursing student, supposedly my pre-med. For the past few months, I've been having a hard time deciding if I'll still pursue med school or I'll just take​ NCLEX after boards then pursue my nursing career abroad. I've always wanted to be a doctor. It's my greatest dream. However, my problem is it takes a LOT of TIME and MONEY. I've been thinking na I am already burnt out in nursing, what more in med school? I do want to be a doctor but I also want to save up enough money while I'm still young.

What are ur thoughts?

Problem/Goal:

Hello I'm a 15 year old Grade 10 student who's currently struggling financially, so I've been looking for a part time job. I was wondering if 7 Eleven hires students or minors for part time positions. If not, are there any stores, brands, or businesses you'd recommend that might accept someone my age?

I've been trying to find work, but it's been difficult since part time jobs for students aren't very common here in the Philippines compared to countries like the US. Because of that, it's hard to find advice that's actually relevant to my situation. Any recommendations or tips would really help. I'm from Batangas so I cannot work somewhere like Manila. Thank you!

Problem/Goal: Nagsubmit ako ng application sa isang company bilang GVA. Pero hindi ako nagproceed sa mga invites for interview and assessment. Early this week, I received an email directly from the COO/cofounder offering me a higher level position, so nagschedule kami this week ng interview.

For those na nakaexperience din na higher ups yung nagrereach out to offer a position, anong pinagkaiba nya sa usual na interview with recruitment? Pano tumatakbo ung meeting? Mas chill ba kapag ganun? Mas secured ba yung contract? Hehe

Problem/goal: Hi im 29F and my bf 30M has 2 identities. He changed his name nung naging adult na siya at nagstart mag work at hindi niya sinabi sakin yung totoong name niya nung pagkabata.

Context: So i found out lang kasi nakalink yung number sa viber at old name pa niya ang andun and then i searched for the name at lumitaw nga yung mukha niya. Reason for this is because he was a bad teenager/kid before. Like pangit daw image niya sa mga tao, kupal, playboy ganon. Although nakwento niya sakin yung mga kalokohan niya before and wala naman kaso yun sakin kasi yung present ang importante.. pero hindi niya namention na iba ang name niya. And now i am starting to overthink na baka may iba talaga siyang life sa old name niya at side quest niya lang yung new name. 😭 pero yung mga accounts naman niya sa recent puro new name na ang gamit although i saw na he is still using his old fb kasi may likes pa siya ng mga post ng friends niya doon like 3 months ago. Wala naman akong nakitang girl na umaaligid nung naging kami na. Pero something doesn’t sit right with me. Also he didnt add me sa old account niya even after i found out. Ang reason niya di na daw niya yun inoopen.

No other signs na nagccheat siya since lagi kami magkasama like 4 times a week and naka video call pag hindi magkasama. No signs of being cold din and napaka ayos naman trato niya sakin. Although less than a year palang naman kami. Should i just trust him and see how this goes or what. Possible ba magbago ang isang red flag before? Im sorry kung ang gulo ko magkwento sana naintindihan niyo. Kasing gulong gulo din ako.

Previous attempts: nung nalaman ko nga about sa old identity, cinonfront ko siya at naging honest naman siya na wala daw siya plano sabhin sakin anytime soon at sanay na siya sa new name. Alam daw yun ng fam at friends niya. If malalaman ko na lang daw pag nakita ko ibang ID which is nakakagago diba. Pero sige pinalagpas ko na lang din since maayos nga talaga siya sakin as a bf. Before nun wala akong overthinking na naramdaman pero simula nun parang lagi ko na siyang stinastalk at yung old account nga niya kung may something. I dont wanna do this pero parang may gut feel ako. 😭

Problem/Goal: Hi, looking for the best OBs in SLMC QC and their PF + when you gave birth! Total bill as well if willing to share.

Context:
I’m a first time mom and currently 10W pregnant. We already have a scheduled consultation with one OB, but I want to try consulting others, too.

If merong OB dun na may clinic outside and also does their own ultrasounds, that would be great.

Previous attempts: n/a

Problem/Goal:

I, 22F opened up about wanting to move out of our apartment as soon as na-regular ako sa wfh job ko. Yun talaga yung gusto ko eh, my own space, my own peace.

My parents took it bad lol. Syempre pinagsalitaan ako at pinagmumura kesyo ungrateful ako, makapal mukha, selfish, mayabang, di ko sila iniisip, pag nawalan raw ako trabaho ano babalik ako sakanila kahiya hiya daw. Kesyo mananakawan ako, masusunugan, magwawalwal, etc. Saka lang daw ako pwede bumukod pag may pamilya na ako 💀 (help thats my nightmare hahah)

Nung una nakipag away pa ako, sinasabi ko na ayun naman talaga gusto ko, buong buhay ko naman diniktahan nila (my course, school, pananamit, etc) kaya gusto ko na kako mapag isa nalang. Nakakainis lang na tingin nila buong buhay ko magiging sunod sunuran ako tapos dapat ako magpasalamat dahil hinahayaan nila ako sa ginagawa ko, e ang tanda ko na, nagbibigay rin ako monthly sa bills as soon as nagkatrabaho na ako.

Help me understand where theyr coming from pls, I know naman na bata pa ako. Yun nga yung point ko, wag nila ipagdamot yung experiences ko, ganyan kasi sila nung highschool ako kaya nagpag-iwanan ako ng friends ko.

Ang gusto ko lang naman magkaron ng own space ko, yung tipong sakin lang lahat (platito, shower, shampoo, couch hahaha) As a first born daughter ang hirap maghangad ha hahahaha hindi rin naman ako nagrerebelde gusto ko lang ng peace

Problem/Goal: Pupunta ba kayo at magdadala pa ng regalo?

Context: may kapitbahay ako na di ko naman close, sa araw ng binyag ng anak nya last year bigla na lang siyang kumatok sa bahay hinahanap ako sa nanay ko, stating ninang daw ako ng anak nya at pumunta na rin ako sa church para sa binyag, asa trabaho ako at that time kaya di ako tumuloy at di rin kami close para tumuloy ako. Buong akala ko pag di ka dumalo and wala kayong malinaw na usapan ng tao na magnininang ka, that means strikethrough ka na. Recently kumatok uli si neighborhood at binigyan ako ng bday party invitation ng junakis nya na inaanak ko pala! kinausap ko siya, sabi niya pabalik-balik daw siya before sa bahay kaso di daw niya ako matiyempuhan at nahihiya daw kasi siya.

Problem/goal: i dont feel anything anymore. My goal is to be okay.

Context:

I got negative na from everything, at okay na ako. Ang problem ko na lang i got itch pa rin sa ibang parts ng private part ko, like my clits. Hindi na siya kagaya ng dati, parang na purify buong puke ko, feel ko may nilagay na acetone yung baba ko.

Isa rin napansin ko, wala na akong gana na gawin. Normal lang ba ito?

Previous attempts: manuod ng corn pero yung smell ko parang nag iba na. Tatanungin ko ulit at pupunta sa clinic kung normal lang ito.

Problem/Goal: my boyfriend has an older sister that needs him lagi and madalas nadedelay siya sa date/nagcacancel last minute because his sister needs him.

Context: Hi! my boyfriend M20 has an older sister F25 na madalas need siya. I feel guilty for feeling this way kasi transparent naman yung boyfriend ko sa pinagdadaanan niya and naiintindihan ko naman, pero lately parang nahihirapan ako kasi hindi name-meet yung needs ko and I know na sobrang toxic na parang nagseselos ako sa family niya. Ayoko naman ng ganon:( I feel bad kasi ako yung dapat nakakaintindi sa kanya and I know most of his struggles. Ayoko ng conflict with his family huhu pls hindi na para papiliin siya, but I can’t help but to feel tampo after ng nangyari kagabi. My boyfriend and his siblings have daddy issues and due to the lack of presence ng father nila, boyfriend ko yung madalas na parang “kuya” sa family nila kahit na 2nd to the eldest siya. Hindi naman sila naghihirap, they’re well off and decent naman socioeconomic background.

Throughout our 2 years relationship, it was very apparent to me kung paano niya alagaan yung ate and other siblings niya and I admire him for that. I noticed lang din na dependent yung ate niya sa kanya kahit sa mga simpleng pag hiwa ng mangga, pag luto, ganon. There are times in the past na nacacancel yung date namin because his ate is on her period tapos yung boyfriend ko sa need mag stay sa bahay lang nila kasi incase may kailangan daw yung ate niya (cute naman actually), minsan naman magpapasama yung ate niya sa mall… may times naman na hindi kami makapag call kahit 9pm pa lang bc nakikitulog yung ate niya sa room niya. okay lang naman yun pero sobrang tampo ako last night:(( 2nd anniversary namin and then we went to white plains kasi may resto kami na matagal na naming gusto i-try, and ofc sinundo ako ng boyfriend ko sa bahay with his car, fast forward, dumating na yung order namin pero habang we’re enjoying our dinner date, tumawag yung ate niya na kailangan daw siya (hindi niya sinabi agad kung anong nangyari) pero he needs to go na raw, very urgent. he seems on a rush (he paid for our dinner) ako naman, nagtatampo na ako nun and mas nanaig pagiging avoidant ko kaya sabi ko umalis na siya. ang ending, i was left there waiting for our orders na pina-takeout and had to book grab pauwi hashaha dito ako medyo na disrespect. layo ng white plains from where i live and di ko alam ano sasabihin ko sa parents ko na ganon nangyari. sabi ko na lang na I had a great time:)

Previous attempts: wala, nahihiya ako. it involves his family. i don’t want to overstep naman, di pa naman kami married.

Problem/Goal: I’m in a pretty dark place mentally right now and I’m trying to avoid isolating myself. I want to find new friends, hobbies, communities, or healthy distractions that can help me get through this period and hopefully improve my mental well-being.

Context: Lately I’ve been feeling lonely, overwhelmed, and stuck in my own thoughts. I realized that my current routine isn’t helping, and I don’t really have many people or activities outside of work/personal responsibilities to look forward to. Things like coffee meetups, sports, volunteering (i love animals), classes, or completely new hobbies all sound interesting.

Previous Attempts: I’ve tried distracting myself with movies, Netflix, and staying at home, but it usually only helps temporarily. I’ve been trying to come back to bumble bff but I can’t log in to my account anymore.

Thank you to anyone who reads this. I’m trying to take things one day at a time.
