OtherI (32 year old man) have been living with my fiancée (27 year old woman) for the better part of a year. Overall, cohabitating has gone incredibly well. We're both meticulous with our ch**es, and we generally communicate better than most couples that we know. However, we've lately had a disagreement that's difficult to settle. My fiancée leaves her used period products at the top of open t**shc...
Food & DietMy boyfriend loves stew, he wants to eat it every day for every meal. His favorite stew is beef tips and vegetables from a local place, but it’s really expensive. Like $47 for a big bowl (they don’t do small orders for takeout) and he is grossed out by leftovers so more than half of it gets wasted. We’ve had a couple of arguments about it, he says I don’t understand his brain, I say he doesn’t...
RelationshipSo my boyfriend made chicken b***st with some white rice, a salad with garlic and we had some pickles and beetroot on the side (from jars) and we sit down and he says: how is it? And I said fine, there's nothing special, everything tastes as it should. And he got upset and said he added extra garlic in the lettuce and soy sauce on the b***st ( we both said we couldn't taste that) and I said I ...
OtherI'm a male, I live with my girlfriend. My girlfriend's close friend is staying with us for a week, she is traveling in from a different city, and sleeping in a spare bedroom in our house. One morning, it was nice and sunny and while my gf was sleeping in and her friend was also still asleep I thought it was a good opportunity to do the laundry. I did all three of ours laundry in two different b...
Food & DietI know how the t*tle sounds, and I’m sure as you begin reading this post it’ll sound worse but please hear me out. I (25f) have a wonderful coworker (54f), who I get along really well with. This coworker is Nepalese and I am a white woman. In the past she’s been kind enough to bring in different food from her culture for us all to try. I have zero problem with her, or anyone else, bringing ...
OtherI (47M) have a son (14M) from a previous marriage to my late wife. She pa*sed two years ago and for my son the wound is still very fresh. My son and her were very close as they look exactly alike and had a lot of the same interest in reading, history, and art. Their favorite place in the world is the British Museum in London. Their pa*sion project has been redrawing peices from the museum for ...
RelationshipMy husband’s long distance friends came to visit. I have met them a few times, but this is the first time they have been able to stay at our house. There are 3 of them, all males. They came over yesterday. We went out for the night and this morning, I woke up to make everyone breakfast. I was still wearing my pajamas because I didn’t feel like getting dressed yet. On my way out, he asked if...
Family ConflictMy wife (30s) and I (also 30s) have a baby boy. Last year, we flew across the country with him to attend a family reunion and visit my parents. Things were going well until my wife caught my mom (68) trying to feed our baby custard off a spoon—against two of our clear rules: no sugar before 1 year old, and no spoon-feeding (we're doing BLW). My wife and mom had discussed feeding boundaries at ...
OtherMe and my husband do not drink coffee. So we do not have a coffee maker or any coffee beans. He has a friend who lives hours away and he sees him in person once every year or two. Usually when he comes up, he brings his girlfriend. They stayed over for a few days last year. Before they came, I asked if they wanted any food or drinks to have in the house and I told them what we normally kept sto...
OtherMy (50) son (17) recently got into a car accident with a drunk driver. I am very thankful that he is alive, obviously, but his car is totaled (the drunk driver was driving a pickup, and my son drives a small old convertible, most likely the reason for the amount of damage) and he is fairly injured, ie multiple breaks, lots of st*tches, etc, and is currently recovering. This all occurred last w...
OtherI 30m and my Husband 33m have a 11-year-old daughter who’s been going through severe bullying at school. It’s just keep getting worse. It started of with just name calling but has gotten worse over the past few weeks. Context: She’s adopted, which is som**hing we’ve always been open about and celebrated as part of her story. Recently, some kids found out about her adoption and started saying h...
OtherI 45F, have two kids: 14M and 17F. My son has High Functioning ASD, and honestly most people cannot tell, but it comes out in certain aspects of his relationships such as thinking about others, compa*sion, etc. My son also eats a lot of food- way more than someone for his age. He is not overweight in any way so the doctors have not considered this a problem. For years when we have ordered f...
