RelationshipI (35 f) recently separated from my fiancee (35 m) due to his excessive drinking, but we are still close and regularly see each other. After taking him to the ER overnight, I brought him home and he said he just wanted to chill solo so I left. I attempted to message him, but didn't hear back. This is unusual for him, however I wanted to respect his boundaries. Late that night (~10 pm), my e...
OtherAt the beginning of this week I(18F) babysat my sister's (26) two kids (2 and newborn). She is a single mother and went out to meet with friends to have lunch. She promised me to be back after few hours. I didn't want to babysit since it would cost me precious ecam prep time and I was anxious because of the newborn and my zero experience but he begged and cried so much I did it. She didn't ...
Family ConflictMy dad moved his girlfriend and her son (5) in with us in October. I (15) guess my dad's girlfriend had hyped her son up to have a brother and he's been clingy with me since they moved in. When I'm home he's following me around and wanting me to play with him. He tries to get inside my room whether I'm there or not. Sometimes I'll get home from a friends house and he's bouncing on my bed and t...
RelationshipLong story short, I caught my wife 3 days ago s*xting another man. Our 13 years of marriage has been on the rocks before I found out. She was remorseful about it until I talked to the wife. I did some digging about this guy and found out he was married. I found her phone number, and talked to her to tell her what happened and where to find the messages. Well, the guy and my wife work together ...
OtherMy daughter d*ed 8 weeks ago from SIDS. She was 6 days old and as you can imagine, it devastated the entire family. I've been planning her funeral but even for a baby, its quite expensive. My mother has been hounding me about "getting it over and done with" because in her culture, peoples funeral happens a few days after their death. I've been saving for the past few weeks to give my baby the f...
OtherSo for some background, my (19F) parents fat shame me a lot. I'm not overweight, but my weight isn't at the best it could be. However, I go to the gym 3x a week and try to eat healthy. So earlier tonight I was eating a sandwich for dinner when my dad (66) went "I thought you were trying to eat healthy? You would be in better shape if you did hot yoga 3 times a week like I do." As someone who's ...
ParentingI was born in Saudi Arabia. I escaped by convincing my parents I just wanted to visit family in Canada, and the moment I got the chance I sneaked out of my uncle's house and went straight to a women's shelter. They helped me apply for asylum. I am now a proud citizen of the Great White North, I even got a maple leaf tattoo the day after the paperwork was complete. I'll never forget the first t...
RelationshipI (F, 32) am divorced from my ex (M, 38). During the divorce process, he agreed to pay me 250K for my share of our house. The court gave him until June of last year to pay me the full amount. He paid me 210K and said he would get me the rest as soon as he was able. (We both put 100k down when we were married to get the house in the first place). He signed a legally binding divorce agreement. ...
OtherSo, I (27M) invited my friend (28M) to dinner at a nicer restaurant last weekend. We were both in the mood for som**hing a little more upscale, but I still wanted to keep it relatively affordable. We talked about it beforehand, and I suggested a couple of places that weren’t too pricey, and my friend seemed on board. When we got there, we both ordered dishes that were reasonably priced. I w...
OtherMy mother (60F) was never what you’d call nurturing. Growing up, I was the “difficult” child at least, that’s what she always said. I didn’t fit the mold of what she wanted. While my siblings were praised for even the smallest achievements, I was constantly criticized, told I’d never measure up, and had my self-esteem torn down bit by bit. She’d make snide remarks about my appearance, my frien...
OtherMy girlfriend works mornings so I have the house to myself. And what do I like to do? Walk around n**ed. My girlfriend and I are the only two people who have the keys to the house, but she has a habit of lending her key out to her friends. I don't have a problem with that. My only problem is that she doesn't tell me when she does it. So one morning I'm walking around n**ed and I hear somebody o...
RelationshipSo, my friend (27M) is married to a woman (24F). From what I know, his personality before marriage was very different from what it is now. After marriage, he gets angry quite easily and yells at his wife whenever som**hing doesn’t go as planned. He has even yelled at her in front of their families and friends. Once, we were all having dinner, and he said som**hing to her that I didn’t hear....
