Spoken Query

I didn't know about the Smule app (it is a karaoke cum social app) until YouTube showed me an ad for it which is when I subscribed to the app as a free user. However, as a free user, you can only sing with someone else, you cannot sing solo songs. So, every time you want to sing a particular song, you have to search if someone has sung it and if there is an open invite from the host for you to be able to join him/her. These invitations are valid for 7 days. Therefore, after being a free user for about two months, I paid $45 and signed up for their annual VIP subscription. That was the starting point of trouble for me. Smule can keep you from living your real life if you let it. The platform is noisy and to remain relevant, you have to make some noise. I remember when I first joined the app, I got pretty addicted and spent hours on it every single day. I stayed up all night replying to the comments and listening to the collabs/joins.  This app was taking control of my life. My prior

A friend asked: I am in the US and my BF is in India. He said that the only way we can keep this relationship going is if I agree to do naked video calls with him. I did not want to lose him so I told him that I have CCTV cameras installed inside the house and my devices are not encrypted. I know it was lame and I did apologize to him for this. I also tried to persuade him that exchanging nudity on the internet is not safe. But he is extremely annoyed at my excuses and explanations and broke off with me. What should I do now? First of all, your toxic-minded BF has no right to force you to do something that you are not comfortable doing. A 'No' is a 'No is a 'No', no justification is required. It is a matter of your consent. Don't let this dude mentally or emotionally rape you. If he has been threatening to break up with you just because you do not want to strip in front of him, then he is more than welcome to FO. He has made it extremely clear that you and you

A friend asked me: I met this guy on online and we have been chatting for the past two months. He is married but his marriage is going through a rough time. He seemed nice and very charming and I instantly got attracted to him.  It all started with a very healthy friendship until one day he confessed his love for me. He said that when the time comes, he is ready to leave his wife and child for me and marry me and until then we should chat so we can understand each other very well. Everything was going great until recently he pressurized me to send him nude pictures of myself to him. I said NO because I do not want to and I am not going to. He broke up with me.  Here are the recent accusations that he has made towards me and my replies to him: BF: I am fed up with your conditions. Me: When we started chatting, you said everything will be mutual and no one will force the other to do anything that they are not comfortable doing. You are adding this new condition now. That's breac

Yes, it is cheating if you are sexting with someone other than your significant other or your committed partner! While many of you may not agree with me because you are not practically doing anything in reality. I agree with it to some extent especially if you are sexting with someone you are committed to a relationship or you are casually seeing someone and aren't committed in a relationship then maybe it is not cheating. However, if you are committed to a relationship, then it is cheating, buddy!  My friend recently met this guy on a social media app and started talking to him. His great sense of humor immediately caught her attention. After a few interactions, this guy asked her,  "What is your viewpoint on lovemaking. You are married, right? So, that makes you experienced in this regard."  This was a first warning sign and she should have cut the conversation then and there. Unfortunately, she didn't.  This guy apologized for his behavior and said that
