Family ConflictI (F28) am getting married to a pretty great guy (32). He is teacher and he is very happy with his decision to become a teacher. I work for a tech company and we do pretty well financially. We have been together for four years and have finally decided to get married. His parents bare happy and mine are overjoyed. One small wrinkle is that my parents expect us to have a ma*sive church weddin...

Over the years he has many different surgeries and recently had his 4th aortic valve replacement due to a bacterial infection and truly almost d*ed. He’s 29 and doing great now. He has a gf with whom he has lived with for 4 years now and this...
Family ConflictI (20F) planned a weekend getaway with two close friends for my birthday. I've had a rough year, and this trip was som**hing i really looked forward to. It's nothing wild. Just a cabin, some wine, and hiking. I booked it over a month ago and told my boyfriend (23M) right away. He said it sounded fun and was happy for me. A few days ago his mom decided to host a family dinner on the same wee...
RelationshipI (23F) have a husband (24M). He has a sister (25F) who he is extremely close to. Me and her have gotten along since my husband first introduced me to her and I actually consider her my sister. Recently, she has started living with us. She was supposed to get married to her fiancée but last second he cancelled the wedding and she had nowhere to live since he was her support system financially. ...
OtherI understand religion can be a touchy subject sometimes, so I’ll try to tread carefully. My daughter “Jessica” (22F) dropped the b**bsh**l that she was going to be an atheist and did not wish to attend church services anymore unless necessary (weddings, funerals, etc.). As her mother, I was initially shocked and rather hurt because I raised her as a Catholic, but we had lengthy discussions ...
RelationshipMy sister started living with me recently and pays me reduced rent. I was away from home for about a week due to work. I gave her a simple rule of forbidding her bringing anyone over. Not her new boyfriend or her friends. No exceptions to this rule. Well she broke that rule. During my week away. One of her Instagram posts showed her BF wearing one of my jackets on a night out. I called her ...
RelationshipI (45m) married my 2nd wife (29f) a few years after my ex-wife (47f) divorced me. I'm thin while current wife is on the heavier side but my ex-wife is much heavier than her. I honestly prefer a woman to be on the heavier side. My wife has referred to my ex as "fat" multiple times, in a derogatory manner. I asked my wife to stop body shaming my ex, and my wife accused me of still loving my e...
RelationshipI have two adult children. My daughter has a five year old daughter and my son's girlfriend is pr****nt with their first child. I've always got the impression that she doesn't like me, but that's fine. I don't particularly like her either but we are civil for my son's sake. I'm Brazilian. I grew up in Brazil and I go back once or twice a year to visit family. I had both of my children over ...
Work1.5 years ago, I got a new grad job out of state and my girlfriend moved with me. It is an HCOL area, and our apartment is $2k / month.

Last month, she was laid off from her job. She had the money save...
RelationshipI (28m) been married to my wife (29f) for 2 years, dated her for 4 years I won't lie I still love her and still do and it still hurts me a bit to let her go but I have no other choice but to divorce her cause she betrayed me. I found out that my wife cheated on me, she didn't actually cheat, she was just kissing someone while dancing with him, tbh I never suspected her and there were no red fla...
Family ConflictMy grandma and mom asked if they could host a party at my place which happened yesterday. The reason why they asked for my place is because it’s centrally located to all my family members and it’s a home that’s been in the family for generations (I inherited it) so everybody is familiar with it. Now I have an old girl, Sierra, and she’s 11 years old. She has arthritis and one really bad hip, bu...
OtherI am 16 and my sisters are 13 and 10. They keep bringing lice to the house, I guess they get it at school or pa*s it back and forth between each other; for nearly the last year there has been lice on one or both of them more often than not. I've gotten it a few times and it's so hard to get rid of, my hair is thick and curly. My sister's are also so gross, they won't be careful what brushes or ...
