#421: If he wanted to be your boyfriend, he’d be your boyfriend.
Dear Captain Awkward: I’ve been with this guy for 2 years now. We had a falling out for about a month but we’ve been talking again since September. It’s been 4 months that we’re talking again and he’s afraid to make me his girlfrend because i messed up our relationship a little 2 years ago. […]
#417: How do I let mutual friends know about my imminent breakup and move?
Happy 2013, everybody! Dear Captain Awkward: Here’s the deal. About 4 months ago I moved with Boyfriend about a thousand miles away from my family and friends for a job offer he received. The city we moved to is big and we figured that it would be easy for me to find a job there. […]
#330: Life blows. How can I be nice to myself again?

#317: This crush is really distracting me from my sexless relationship.
Dear Captain Awkward: I’m a 25-year-old male with a girlfriend of a little over two years. We’ve had our ups and downs over time, but for my recent memory, which probably means the last year, things have been going well. We have a lot of fun together, usually on our own as most of our […]
#316: Reaching out to an ex
Dear Captain Awkward, At the beginning of this year, after much agonising and a deep depression lasting several months, I broke up with J., my boyfriend of three years. We lived together, we had friends in common – it was messy, but I tried very hard to be honest with him. This included telling him […]
