RelationshipSo I had a birthday two months ago. Wife asked for ideas for presents, so I gave her several. Later on she asked if I would like a coffee maker, and I said no. I drink instant coffee. I told her I had a coffee maker in the past (Keurig) that routinely broke down, that I constantly had to fix. It became a ch**e. Also, my MIL has given me a yeti for Christmas for the past 5 years. I never us...
OtherA few days ago I (54m) picked up my daughter (15f) and son (18m) from school. Whilst in the car they got into a fight about how I guess my daughter was dating my son’s best friend. As they were arguing with each other my son screamed, “Whatever, I’ll just f**k your trailer t**sh, s**t of a best friend.” I immediately intervened as I did not raise my son to talk about woman like that. I told him...
RelationshipI (f24) am seriously at my wits end. My husband (m26) is partially deaf from DJing in his teens/early 20s, so he needs things louder to hear them. But what I dont get is why that has to mean I’m involuntarily listening to MrBeast yelling about burying himself alive or giving away $10k to strangers at 9am on a Sunday. He watches MrBeast videos on his phone at like 95-100% volume. Not even joking...
OtherI (30M) had a neighbor (40M) knock on my door, asking if they could connect to my Wi-Fi because they "forgot" to pay their bill, and their internet got cut off. I politely declined, explaining that I pay for my service and don’t want to risk security issues. They got upset and left, but I thought that was the end of it. Turns out, they’ve been bad-mouthing me to other neighbors, saying I’m sel...
OtherThree years ago, my sister "Anna" (she was 29 at the time, now 32) had been struggling with infertility for years. I was 26 then, and married, but my husband and I wanted to wait before having kids so we could focus on our careers and es**blish ourselves. Anna kept asking me to be her surrogate, and no matter how many times I politely declined, she just wouldn’t take no for an answer. I exp...
RelationshipI (M30) have been with my girlfriend Lily (F28) not her real name for just over two years. She’s more reserved and doesn’t express her feelings easily. Right now, I’m the one working and covering most of our expenses. We get along well, but she can be frustrating sometimes. For example, she won’t do ch**es because she’s afraid she’ll do them wrong but still finds time to clean up her own things...
RelationshipNine days ago, I made a post about how my unemployed wife had spent $1,176 on delivery apps in just a month. This is egregiously outside of what we can afford to spend on takeout, and since she didn’t seem willing to stop, I canceled our credit card and moved the money from our joint account into my own. For the following few days, my wife kept talking about how I was financially abusing her. S...
OtherI (50M) have two kids: my daughter (25F), who is getting married next year, and my son (23M), who came out as gay in high school. My son had a really rough time in school. He was bullied relentlessly, and it took a toll on his mental health. He’s doing much better now, but those years left scars. Last month, my daughter introduced us to her fiancé (27M). I recognized him immediately as one ...
OtherSo this happened last weekend and I'm still thinking about it. My girlfriend thinks I overreacted but honestly I'm not sure. I went to this local diner by myself around 2pm on Sat**day. Nothing fancy, just wanted some pancakes and coffee. The place wasn't busy at all, maybe 3 other tables occupied. My waitress looked like she was in her early 20s, seemed nice enough when she took my order. E...
RelationshipSo my 29M wife 27F is a SAHM mom by her choice until the kids are old enough to go to school. Her older Honda SUV recently bit the dust when it needed some major repairs that totaled more than the value of her car. This was right at the beginning of the work week for me so I unfortunately didn't have the time to sit with her and look at at cars immediately. I told her she can do some research ...
OtherA few months ago my parents got divorced. My dad had been cheating on my mum for four to five months with a woman named Laura from his work. As soon as the divorce was finalized this summer, my dad married Laura in a small wedding which I refused to attend. My mum is my primary caregiver and emotional support, and she was very loyal to my dad, so this was not a mutual cheating situation. She w...
Family ConflictMy (21M) gf (23F) and I have been together for a few months and she likes to sometimes wear crops tops (without a bra), short shorts, skirts, etc. when the weather begins to become warmer which I have no issue with and have never said anything about. Anyway, she is meeting my parents for the first time tomorrow and while she was picking out her outfit, she chose a blue crop top that shows some ...
