RelationshipLast year, my (22m) girlfriend (23f) won a radio contest to briefly meet and take a photo with one of her favorite kpop groups, NCT. She was super excited since I guess you would call her a superfan. I definitely feel like she's too old to put so much stock in kpop, but I generally don't talk to her about it, since it's pretty harmless, just annoying. She was told that she could bring a plu...
BoundariesI (24m) and my gf (32f), Liv, have been seeing each other for close to a year. I live in a shared house with 8 men in a tiny 2x2m room, which is why she doesn't sleep at my place, although I save significant rent money there despite the poor conditions. For the past few months, I have been staying at Liv's house four nights a week. Her bed is larger, and I can cook there because my home is con...
RelationshipSo my wife and I recently went on a trip together payed for by her dad. He flew us to Hawaii with first cla*s seats. We had a great time. My wife is used to travel while I’m les experienced with plane travel, this was the first time I flew first cla*s. On our way back home, we were sat near the back we’re by the border between us and the “undesirables”. A mother and her baby were one of the fi...
RelationshipMy late wife Kate pa*sed away about 12 years ago. They have a family heirloom that has pa*sed down several generations (starting from her great grandmother) from mothers to their first daughters, on their 18th (or thereabouts) birthdays. The heirloom itself is not highly valuable in a financial sense, but the history makes it very valuable to the people in the family. I currently possess it af...
OtherA very popular hiking trail actually crosses my (privately owned) land that is nestled inside a national park. I’ve never objected to people crossing our land as I’m an avid hiker and don’t want to deny them enjoying the scenery, though it can get annoying at times when groups of 10+ people litter on my part of the trail. Anyway, a few years ago my daughter decided to set up a small stop to sel...
Family ConflictA month ago my oldest turned sixteen. For his sixteenth birthday, the plan was to let him skip school, get to the DMV when it opens, take the driving test, go on a small road trip, be back around when school gets out and then all go out for a family dinner. On the weekend would be his celebration with his friends. Skipping school for the DMV test was planned in advance, but the road trip was a...
RelationshipMy partner and I have a five week old baby who is exclusively b***stfed. He will wake up three to four times a night to nurse for 20-40 minutes per time. My argument is that she's already awake to nurse, so she should do the diaper changes too. I have offered to do half the diaper changes, but that's not enough for her. My partner thinks that I should do all the nighttime diaper changes sinc...
OtherI have 3 kids (7, 8, 10) and my sister has 2 (7 and 10). We went on vacation together recently and we took the kids to a zoo that also had a few rides. The kids went on the rides while my sister and I got coffee nearby. We told them to meet us at a certain table when they were done. My 8 year old came to me much earlier than her siblings/cousins. I asked if the rides scared her and she said...
RelationshipMy wife stays in contact with her ex who she dated for 5 years before meeting me. All they do is text each other occasionally, which I have no problem with. I explained to her early on that I am not interested in ever meeting or befriending any of her exes. She agreed and it was never an issue until now. Her ex has moved back to the city where we live and she really wants him and I to meet....
BoundariesI, 22 y/o, am in college. I live in a rental apt w/ my roommate, Simon, 28 y/o, & his 4 y/o son. The mother of the child is deceased, and he got together with his now ex-gf, but they broke up 4 months ago. He was expecting a baby w/ her, and the baby was born this past Wednesday. I was in the middle of stud**ng and preparing for my exam when Simon barged in telling me his ex-gf's mom just c...
OtherSo, two weeks ago, I (25F) got married to my husband (26M). When I was six years old, my mom and dad got divorced and, three years later, my mom met and married Fred, who had basically been my surrogate dad for all these years because my biological one hasn't been a huge part of my life, and Fred's kids (20M), (18F) and (16M) are basically my siblings. On last minute, my bio-dad decided he didn...
OtherYesterday was my nephew's 1st birthday, and my sister and BIL had a little get together at their house. When it was time for cake, they brought out my nephew's "smash cake"—exactly what it sounds, a cake for the baby to smash up and get icing all over themselves for cute pictures or whatever. I kind of imagined that it would be the size of a big cupcake, but they brought out a regular-sized rou...
