RelationshipAre there any normal adults in healthy marriages with good careers who play video games, or does playing games only bring you constant annoying scrutiny by your significant other? AITAH for having video games as a hobby? My wife thinks no one plays video games in a healthy relationship and is upset that she didn’t know I played games when we got married. It’s not som**hing I hid, but just did ...
RelationshipThis is a pretty heavy situation, and I’m really confused and disgusted ngl cause I never thought my wife was like this. My wife (44F) and I (45M) have been married for 14 years. We have two kids a 16-year-old son (let’s call him Noah) and a 12-year-old daughter. We’ve had our fair share of disagreements over the years of course, but things have generally been smooth between us. Now for the...
RelationshipOkay, so this happened last week and my husband is still mad at me. I (29F) have been married to my husband (32M) for three years, together for six. We’ve had our ups and downs, but this one is making me question if I really messed up. So, my husband has been looking for a new job for months. He finally landed an interview at this company he's been obsessed with since college—literally calls it...
RelationshipI (20F) have a small emergency fund I’ve been saving for months. It’s about $2,000, and I keep it in a separate account for, well, emergencies. My boyfriend Jake (23M) has been struggling since he lost his job, and I’ve been helping him as much as I can groceries, gas money, stuff like that. Last week, his car broke down, and the repair bill was $1,500. He was super stressed, but I told him I c...
Family ConflictOkay, I know how that sounds. But hear me out. My husband’s mom was a nightmare. Like, lifetime movie villain level. She called me a gold digger for marrying her preciouss son (he’s a f**king accountant, not Elon Musk), “forgot” to invite me to family holidays for three years, and once mailed him a framed photo of his ex with a note saying “the one who got away.” When we announced our pregnancy...
RelationshipI (F22) have been dating my boyfriend (M26) for almost six months. He’s active duty Army, stationed near my hometown, and we met through mutual connections when he came out one weekend. Things moved fast (as they often do with military guys, not gonna lie), and by month two, we were already talking long-term even discussing what life would be like if we got married and moved together for his n...
RelationshipI’m 32, and my wife is 32. We dated in high school and got married seven years ago. My wife has always been a s**tterbrain. Before marriage, she was always misplacing things and leaving everything half-finished. She was chronically late, had clutter all over her living space, and would get bursts of frustration about these messes which would lead to hyperactivity into not really doing anything ...
RelationshipMy wife and I have been married for more than 2 decades now. We have 2 children who’re 18 and both in college. A couple years ago, my wife admitted to cheating on me in a one night stand. She said it was the worst mistake of her life and she really regretted it a lot. Our marriage was going through a lot of difficulties at the time, and we were even seriously considering divorce. However; ...
Family ConflictOkay so, me (28F) and my fiancé (30M) have been together 5 years. We were planning our wedding for this fall and had been talking for YEARS about our future like kids, finances, and buying a house together. We had a whole plan to save up, find som**hing we both loved, and make it our home. This was talked about a lot. Welp. Turns out he already bought a house. But not with me… with his MOM....
Family ConflictI (27f) gave birth to my first child a month ago. My husband and I named her after my late mom and a favorite name of ours for her middle name. My mom d*ed 10 years ago and using her name was always som**hing I wanted to do. When my half sister (24f) first heard the name she got a little pouty and asked me why I didn't see if she wanted to use the name instead and she said she had always imagi...
OtherWell my gf and I (26,24) have been together a while now with no issue of our religious differences, I respect her boundaries and she respects mine… so I thought. We were talking about marriage and it was really weird.. she said “you have to convert or it’s a dealbreaker.” I said what? Why have you just now chosen to say this after all this time of telling me that you’re fine with my beliefs(...
Family ConflictSo, I (21F) am currently 7 months pr****nt with our first baby, and my husband (32M) has been super supportive throughout the pregnancy. He’s attended every appointment, helps out around the house more, and I really appreciate him for that. HOWEVER, a few days ago, he dropped this insane idea on me, and I’m still reeling. He says he wants to go on a “dad-cation” after the baby is born… basi...
