OtherI (25F) am married to my (28m) husband. We have been together for four years and in the last two months I have made up a second life and talked to a few other men. Nothing s*xual has occurred between the conversations, but my husband saw some of the messages last night and went off on me. Even though nothing s*xual was said from either side light flirting was involved. I never meant anything t...
OtherI live in a large multi-cultural city. I went to a bar the other day with my friend and I was discussing an area I'd looked at moving too. He said he wasn't comfortable living in an area where "people don't share my cultural values or look like me". I queried this and was told "for example I wouldn't live in X area of the city, because people have big beards" I replied "oh so you mean hipsters...
OtherMy son Nick finally came back from the psych ward. His doctor said he was close to severe burnout. The whole situation brought back terrible memories of his mother's past behavior, as his 'breakdown' act was just like her playbook; he left the kids, which is what he always accused me of doing. While he was gone, the kids seemed happier. There was no stress over food, homework, ch**es, or anythi...
OtherI’ve (18m) been dating my gf (19f) for 4 years now and during those 4 years I cheated 4 times. She never found out because i cheated during vacation with my family. I don’t know what’s happening to me because I never felt guilty but for the past few months my girlfriend showed me how much she loves me and I realize now how much of a good person she is. She is perfect and I love her, I’m rea...
OtherAlright so I, F20, and my BF, M25, have been together for a couple years. We've generally had a good relationship and he previously thought that he was infertile, now I don't know if it was medically told to him or som**hing else but that's just what he had told me. So it was a surprise when I got pr****nt and had our daughter. He was shocked too but he accepted her nonetheless as we've always...
RelationshipMy wife (F36), who I’ll call Kat, and I (M38) have recently been having a lot of tension about my older brother (M42), whom I’ll call Eric. Now, through a series of choices, Eric has become the father of 7 children, yes, 7. From his first ex-wife (F43), he has two children (M13 and F11); with his second ex-wife (F41), he has three kids (F11, M9, F7); and with his final and most recent ex-wife ...
RelationshipI (32M) bought my house a few years ago, and my girlfriend (28F) recently moved in with me. She hasn’t been paying rent, as she was saving for other things, but now that she’s settled, I asked if she could start contributing to the household expenses. I suggested she pay a portion of what she would normally pay if we were renting a place together. She got upset and said that since I own the...
OtherI (28F) have always had a complicated relationship with my older sister, Anna (31F). Anna has always been very outspoken about her beliefs, especially when it comes to feminism and women’s rights. I respect her pa*sion, but sometimes she can be a little intense about it, even at family events where it feels like she's lecturing rather than conversing. Anna recently got married to Dave (35M)...
OtherMy daughter just turned 18 and asked my wife and me if she could go on birth control. We are a religious family, and our beliefs teach that s*x is sacred and meant for marriage. My immediate reaction to her request was strong discomfort. I trust her; she is responsible and does well in school. But allowing her to go on birth control feels like giving approval to behavior that contradicts our va...
ParentingMy wife recently asked if I could watch our two kids for a weekend while she goes on a trip with her friends. She framed it as a “girls’ trip” to recharge and relax. Normally, I wouldn’t have an issue with this, but the timing was terrible. I’ve been swamped with work and haven’t had a moment to catch my breath. I told her that I was refusing to “babysit” the kids that weekend because I couldn...
OtherHe was just sentenced to 10 years in prison. My daughter was only 15 and he was 25. My daughter had a fake I.D. That said she was 21 and went to the bar and had a few beers, and met a guy there, and the guy thought she was 21. Bu****it, she does not look 21. She looks 15 in my eyes. I saw the fake I.D. and the law agreed with me, there are no excuses. I also forced my daughter to have an abortio...
RelationshipI (23F) and my boyfriend (25M) has been on a rocky road lately because of him watching p**n and n**ed and half n**ed girls. The first time I caught him doing that and saw all the pics and videos, we had a talk and I expressed how that made me feel and I calmly asked him not to do it again and get rid of everything! Even though I was absolutely heartbroken I remained calm and did not really sho...
