RelationshipSo, me and my husband have vastly different tastes in basically everything. For the most part it doesn't matter, but we clash heavily when it comes to food. Before we met, I basically never ate out, drank nothing but water and unsweet tea (with the occasional juice) and ate mostly vegetarian, always pretty healthy meals. When we started dating I started eating out a lot more because that's wha...
OtherI bought a house with a big a*s yard several months ago, it is my very first house and the most expensive thing I have ever owned. Prior to this I have only ever lived in apartments, and the dynamic between neighbors seems really different, which is another reason I am asking. When I moved here there was a very old rotten wooden fence on the property separation line between me and my new neighb...
RelationshipI (30m) have a group of five friends from university who are around the same age as me. For the past two years, we've gone on vacation together—first to Mexico and then last year to Egypt. We've always had a great time, and we get along well. However, when it comes to sharing costs, I find myself struggling. It's not the group that has an issue; it's me who has the problem. To provide some ...
RelationshipI (27f) am very confused. My boyfriend (25m) and I are both white. I was at the gym. My boyfriend came to pick me up but I wasn't done with my workout. He pointed out the fact that I was wearing silver hoop earrings. I thought he was going to say it som**hing about them not being safe at the gym. But what he said was, a white woman wears hoop earrings to attract black men. I was so flabber...
RelationshipMy son ‘Finn’ (18) is from a previous relationship. Since early childhood I had full custody; his mother is not in the picture. We were both young when he was born, so his childhood was a little uns**ble for a bit. However, I have my life together now. I got married when he was 7, and together me (m37) and my wife ‘Mary’ (f40) live as a blended family, with my two stepsons ‘Cody’ (16) and ‘Luc...
Family ConflictI (30m) have been dating my fiancée (29f) for 4 years and we got engaged 4 months ago. My fiancée lost her first boyfriend before we met to mental illness. They have a son (10m) together. I knew all this getting into the relationship and I love her son and we have a good relationship. When we were first dating I told my fiancée I wanted children and it was one of my biggest dealbreakers. S...
RelationshipMy wife and I are tight on money right now and thus, we didn't have anything in the budget for my wife's birthday gift. Instead, I sent her to her friends house for a few hours and my kids and I did all the household ch**es. When she got home, we showed the clean house off to her and told her it was her birthday gift. She said thank you but I could tell she was upset. I pressed her a bit and a...
Food & DietHad a bizarre situation today. I was flying from Hawaii to Florida. The stewards were walking around giving out mixed nuts. The woman seated next to me said to the flight attendants that she didn’t want any because she is allergic to nuts and that there should’ve been a note in their system regarding not serving her nuts. The attendant said in the survey she’d filled out for the airline rega...
Family ConflictI'm 29f, my siblings are 19f, 19f(twins) and 17m. About a year ago I won a rather large amount of money. Since then I paid off my mortgage, bought a rental home, paid for my parents to spent 2 months on holiday, paid off their mortgage and bought each of my younger siblings either a car or(in the case of my brother) a motorbike. I have recently started planning my wedding to my partner of 4 year...
Family ConflictI [16M] started dating my girlfriend 2 years ago. I also got super super into baking around that time. I bake a lot. My girlfriend loves desserts. So I've given her a ton of stuff I bake, all kinds of different stuff. I often try to bake som**hing new and then she gets to try som**hing new. I honestly love baking way more than eating it. My girlfriend is the opposite. Well recently she gave...
RelationshipI will preface this, I am not an alcoholic nor do I belive I have a drinking problem. There are no children involved here. I work shifts. My working week will end with 2 or 3 overnight shifts (1800 to 0600). After my last shift for the week I like to have a beer/whisky or 2 and chill on the couch watching c**p on YouTube for an hour before bed. This just happens to be at about 7am. Other tha...

She filed for divorce and left me and the kids (14 m, 12f) to be with the new love in USA. I have full custody of the kids. It was really hard at first but now we have a good routine going on and kids are doing great. They see a ther***st regularly. I neve...
