RelationshipI (30M) am married to my husband Michael (30M). We both met in college, moved a few years ago, and got married recently. A little backstory. Michael grew up in the conservative Bible Belt with an older brother (John) and a younger sister (Chelsea). She’s 17. So, you know, Michael's parents totally, 100% accepted him for being gay. NOT. His parents were livid, and he moved as far away from them as...
RelationshipI'm sitting here half annoyed half confused how to feel. Here is my situation: My wife did not work today. Has been hanging with the kids all day. I got home from work at 5:30 and did a turn and burn to jujitsu cla*s. Dinner was not discussed but since I was getting home at 8:30 from I a*sumed I was on my own for dinner. I get back at 8:30 absolutely starving and exhausted. I had been planning m...
Family ConflictMy pr****nt wife (26f) and I (35m) are really struggling at the moment as I lost my job and my wife had to quit her job as she’s suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. We’ve used up our savings and currently are living off our credit cards but I’ve got a job lined, starting in March. My wife is very close to her sister (31f) and a few days ago she confided in her that we are struggling. Her sist...
Food & DietAwhile ago, I was in the car with some friends, and we were all driving to an art store. One of my friends (let’s call her Anna) mentioned she was hungry. Her boyfriend was in the back seat with her, and they started talking about what to eat. For context, we are all adults, but Anna doesn’t work and doesn’t like spending her boyfriend’s money. We suggested a pizza place, but she said, "Well, I d...
RelationshipI (38M) and my wife Eve (33F) have been together for 4 years, married for 2. Eight months ago, our twins were born, and Eve decided to stay home with them (her decision, not mine). For some context, I grew up in a wealthy family, while Eve did not. Her mother, a single mom, was loving but had to work a lot, which influenced Eve’s decision to stay home with our children. Now, I grew up with incred...
OtherI'm currently on a solo trip in Tenerife, all-inclusive to save having to look for places to eat by myself. The hotel has club-style seating, meaning that all tables are tables of 8 and people get sat together, apparently it's to encourage a sense of community and conversation... Last night, I was seated first and had a gla*s of wine. A family of 5 got seated at my table: 2 adults and 3 children...
OtherMy husband Peter (29 m) and I (27 f) have been married for about three years. We have one child together and I was pr****nt with our second. I’m western Canadian while he is from Germany. We lived in Canada for a long time, but because of inflation moving back to Germany seemed like a better option for us. We bought a nice house in Hannover where Peter is from. The day after our flights to Germ...
RelationshipCan't believe I actually have a reason to post som**hing on reddit, but here I am. My wife (41F) and I (42M) have been married for 15 years. I apparently surprised her by being capable of doing household ch**es and tasks, which I didn't think much of. My mom always asked me to help out with ch**es when I was a kid so I didn't think it was beneath me or anything. I do think I inherited her need ...
OtherMy wife (30f) Lara and I (35m) have 2 children, ages 2 and 3.5 and have been married for 5 years. Lara is a SAHM to our boys and takes the boys 3 days a week to take care of her grandmother who has dementia, the other 4 days a nurse comes in. I work in retail management. My typical schedule is 1pm-10pm with a one hour lunch if I choose to take it. I live about 45 minutes from my job and I like t...
OtherI 42M, have two kids living with me, my daughter Anya (17F) and my stepson Noah (14M). Noah’s mom pa*sed a few years ago, and I’ve had full custody since. He’s had a rough go of it, but he’s a good kid, with his quirks. He’s not antisocial or shy, but he does not appreciate having his space invaded and when very upset, he can kinda 'shut down'. Anya is much more outgoing and has a lot of friends-...
Family ConflictI (26F) have been with my boyfriend, Mark (28M), for 4 years. We're super private people. Like, we barely even post couple pics on Instagram. He's the best, super shy but the most thoughtful guy ever. He proposed last weekend. It was perfect. We were on a hike, just the two of us, at our favorite spot at sunset. No big crowd, no cameras, just us. It was so us. I of course said yes!! We called ou...
BoundariesI'm currently in college dorms only a couple weeks into the semester and I share my dorm room with one other person. We've been getting a long great so far and haven't clashed at all but last week she abruptly stopped staying in our room and I've barely seen her the last few days so I knew som**hing was up. A couple days ago she asked to talk and said she had a dream that's made her uncomfortable...
