RelationshipMy wife gets upset when I do this but I feel like I'm in the right here. If we are at a bar or a party, we usually go our own separate ways to socialize. I'll notice that she'll be talking to a guy that neither of us have met before and I can see on his face that he's into her. So I'll head over to where she's at and grab her, give her a kiss and compliment her. Som**hing like "She's so funny....
OtherI (33m) have a pretty big age difference with my brother (44m). He had a child at 25, which means that I became an uncle at 14. Because we were pretty close in age, I formed a special bond with my niece, Ella (now 18f). When she was 16, my brother and his family moved away so I've been seeing them less recently, but we keep in touch and catch up at family events. Last year, at Christmas, my ...
OtherH**lo, I (32 F) have been working at a law firm for 6 years. My high school sweetheart (J) d*ed at 24. Before he d*ed he had proposed, I said yes. I was so struck with grief that I could never bring myself to take off the ring he gave me. Around 2 years ago I finally moved on and chose to adopt a girl, (L). Everyone at the firm a*sumes I’m married due to the ring and kid. One of my co-workers ...
Family ConflictWhen I (24m) was 19, my mother had my younger sister, Mj, and subsequently returned to drug use, frequently abandoning her. Wanting to give Mj a s**ble life, I filed a pet*tion and gained full custody when Mj was two. I am legally her father, and she knows me only as Dad. A year ago, I started dating my girlfriend, Ida (24f). She seemed to connect well with Mj, taking her on outings. I prop...
Family ConflictI (16M) have four older siblings who are 11+ years older than me. My parents were finished at four kids, my dad got a vasectomy and then six years after it my mom found out she was expecting me. She was 13 weeks when they found out and I was always told if she'd been earlier she would have aborted me. My siblings hated that our parents had another kid. They're all close enough but with me I fe...
OtherThe husband's father pa*sed away when the husband was 19, leaving a will that granted his stepmother the right to live in the family home until her death or departure, after which sole ownership would pa*s to the husband. Crucially, the will prevented the stepmother from willing the home to her own children or relatives. When the father d*ed, the stepmother gathered some of the husband's bel...
Family ConflictI (M35) have the oportunity to help my parents who are (64) by buying them a home so they don't have to stress about rents being thru the roof but i told them if i do this for them i don't want my brother (42) to move in with them at any point, to wich my moms response was "why don't you want to help him?" I told her that when i was going thru the lowest point in my life he was doing really good b...
Family ConflictI (29M) recently married the love of my life (27F). The wedding was everything we dreamed of… except for one major issue caused by my parents. For context, I am estranged from my older brother, Luke (35M). He bullied me relentlessly throughout his childhood—verbally, emotionally, and even physically. My parents always downplayed it, brushing it off as “normal sibling stuff.” But it wasn’t. ...
OtherI am a shameless flirt, and most of my social circle knows I am open to taking things further if there is reciprocation. A friend of a sometimes lover seemed to be enjoying my company in a social setting, and I was enjoying theirs as well. There was some champagne involved, but no one seemed overly intoxicated. My charm was active, and there was definite heavy chemistry between us. This cha...
OtherThis is a fairly small incident which happened when I was to return home during dinner time. I had an argument with my 10 year old daughter over distribution of ch**es, which I told her mopping the hallway was included in her part every Sat**day but she insisted limiting to her room only. Anyway, she was quite angry at me before I left for work. On my way home after work I wanted to buy ...
Family ConflictLast year my husband d*ed in a car accident. We were separated for about a year prior but not officially divorced, so I was named the administrator of his estate. I have my own home and I’m financially independent. We had two children together. In late summer of last year I learned that his parents were the beneficiaries and received a boat load of money. Since his death his parents have told ...
ParentingMy older sister (37F) has 3 kids under 10. I (25M) don't have kids yet but I'm a junior sous-chef and I cook a lot in my spare time. During some recent time off from work my sister asked if I could babysit her kids after school for three days. I said yes. I watched the kids. She paid me for it and I thought that would be it. But then she asked me what the kids ate with me after the week had en...
