OtherI (25F) am getting married. My fiancé(25 M) and I decided on a dry wedding since we do not drink and see no point in spending money for alcohol. We were debating about getting a cash bar but then decided to no alcohol at all. (There will be a wide range of other drinks, not just juice and soda, provided). We informed our guests via invitations with som**hing along the lines of “You don’t ha...
OtherMy (32M) wife's (35F) daughter (16F) recently announced she is pr****nt. She claims she doesn't know who the father is. I suspect she actually does and doesn't want to say, for whatever reason. I mean how much unprotected s*x is a 16 year old really having? It can't be that hard to narrow it down for goodness sake. Anyway, moving on. She is adamant on keeping the baby. Abortion is out of th...
OtherI (17m) have two sisters, Alice (29) and Miranda (33). I am much cl**er to Alice than I am to Miranda. Miranda is also not on good terms with our parents. Alice has four kids and is currently expecting child number five, while Miranda can’t have children which her ex divorced her for. Miranda is very successful in life, she has a nice apartment, works a good job and earns a decent amount of mo...
ParentingRight now both of my kids (16-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter) and my ex are extremely mad at me because I won't give up my appointed time with them. My son won't even talk to me and my daughter is crying all the time. A little backstory. Me and my ex divorced shortly after my daughter was born. I blame him for it and he blames me. We ended up with a 50/50 custody agreement switching every...

Family ConflictI'm a 28-year-old woman dating a 31-year-old man for seven months. His family is of Italian origin and highly values their heritage. They have visited my apartment before, but last night, his parents stopped by unexpectedly, claiming they were visiting a friend nearby and decided to stay for dinner. I panicked because it was late, I was working, and I had no time to cook, so I ordered pizza fo...
OtherMy daughters 14 & 16 are on the same dance team. Their team won a compet*tion on Sunday, and we were all so excited and proud of them. After the compet*tion, my dad suggested we go out to eat and said he would pay for wherever we wanted. Older daughter, who loves seafood, has been asking for years to go to a restaurant that has unlimited crab legs, but it's a very pricy restaurant, so we've nev...
Family ConflictThis is so so so embarra*sing but I can't take it anymore. I have to know if i'm in the wrong here. I need to apologise if so... I (21F) was told by my bf, "Nate" (26M) that i'd get the house to myself for the weekend. He said he had to go visit his parents to take care of a property related issue. I was pretty excited to have the house to myself because I have been living with Nate since I was...
BoundariesWe are both 23F. It’s been getting into the 90s (F) where we live, so I’ve been turning on the ac when I get home. I also work a physically intense outdoor job so I come home really sweaty and exhausted from the heat. The apartment will stay cool enough for me to fall asleep but then later on I’ll wake up in the middle of the night completely drenched in sweat. I’ll then get up and find out th...

I am graduating ops sorry sister had a bad day at work. They have missed both major and smaller events in my life because of her melt downs. I met the love of my life. We decided to tie the knot. From the be...
OtherMy MIL has made a small "family quilt" for all of her kids and their spouses (5 couples including us). The quilt is really cute, has the couple's names, their kids' names, and their favorite hobbies and things all done in st*tching and cute little cloth pictures. I was really looking forward to getting ours because I admit I'm a bit of a hipster and I love home-made kitschy stuff like that for...
