Do you need input on whether or not you should ask out your high school crush? Consult Reddit. Are you a new parent wondering how in the ever-loving heck you're supposed to find time for sex? Reddit can help with that, too. Are you simply seeking some basic advice to improve your relationship? Here are eight of Reddit's best suggestions.
TO THE COUPLE STRUGGLING TO SPLIT UP CHORES
A 28-year-old user called Kholt4 came to Reddit's relationships subthread asking what she should do about a 29-year-old boyfriend who needed consistent prodding to keep up with his share of household chores. Stellastellamaris suggested compromising: You take the tasks he hates doing, and he tackles the ones you hate, but you have to sit down and work through what those are.
TO THE 20-YEAR-OLD WHO FEARS HE OR SHE WILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN
Shadeflare1, 20, has been single for one year and does not believe he will ever find love again. Advice from eggsnbaconpie? You're 20, bud. (But also, you have to make an effort.)
TO THE DUMPER WHO FEELS GUILTY ABOUT THE DUMPEE
Twenty-three-year-old exxcesso told Reddit she'd been feeling guilty about breaking up with her longterm, long-distance boyfriend who simply didn't seem to have time for a relationship. Soupsocialist was one of many to assure her that doing the right and, often, hard thing doesn't make you selfish at all.

TO THE BRIDESMAID WITH THE BUTT-HURT BOYFRIEND
In a lengthy post, anonthrowawayplease explains that she accidentally booked a trip with her boyfriend that overlapped with her step-sister's wedding (and she was a bridesmaid!). So, she decided to cut her vacation a day short, and her BF was pissed. She asked Reddit for input on whether or not she did the right thing. As mugwump3000 pointed out, apologizing for the mistake and striking a compromise should be enough.

M5atm22n is feeling uncertain about her relationship of one and a half years. Her S.O. really wanted to live together at first, but now says he's unsure. Soupsocialist, again with the helpful advice, says don't rush it—maybe take a step back instead.
TO THE WOMAN DATING A RECENTLY DIVORCED DUDE WHO CAN'T COMMIT
IndividualSherbert met a man who was in the process of getting divorced—and while he explained that he would not be ready for another relationship in the foreseeable future, the pair continued to see each other. They have since exchanged "I love yous," but the dude's mind hasn't changed about wanting to date for real, even after 10 months. Zorkeldschorken thinks his mind probably won't change.
TO THE WOMAN WONDERING IF SHE COULD MAYBE, POSSIBLY STAY FRIENDS WITH HER EX
FewHope's girlfriend broke up with her about a week ago, but she's wondering if it's possible to stay friends with an ex. Stellastellamaris says yes—but only if you're both actually over one another.
