OtherLast night my (35M) Fiance (38F) left in the evening to give a friend's son a ride back to his home. She implied she'd be home before 9. She left at around 7:45. 10:15 rolled around and she still wasn't home. I texted and she apologized to me, saying that her friend's son was actually in the next town over (maybe 30 minutes away) and she was coming home now. 11:45 rolled around and she still...
OtherMy daughter just turned 6. We had a birthday party for her on Sat**day. That morning was pretty hectic. I was outside setting up and suddenly my wife comes outside yelling about how the grocery store screwed up the birthday cake and I didn't notice. All that happened was that they spelled our daughter's name as "Sarah" and it's "Sara" and I said, "who cares, just sc**pe off the H" but she insis...
Family ConflictMy daughter (Anna) has recently started to date an African American man (Jamal). While I'm not exactly what you would refer to as "liberal", he's a nice young man and as long as my daughter is happy, I'm happy. The problem is Anna is rather naive about the community she lives in. While her friends are quite content to see a relationship like hers, more than a few tongues are wagging in the com...
RelationshipI (26M) broke up with my girlfriend (25F) of 2 years because of som**hing that happened recently, and now my friends are saying I ma*sively overreacted. So, a few days ago, my girlfriend and a close mutual friend decided to play a prank on me. The prank was that they filmed a scenario where I “caught” them in bed together, pretending they were hooking up. They set up a hidden camera in the ...
RelationshipI (44F) am turning 45 August 3rd. Two months ago my husband of 5 years (45M) surprised me and said he booked us a 10 day vacation to Italy. We leave July 28th. My husband is a special ed middle school teacher so school is out until September. He has been making extra money on the side as a tutor. So we had some extra money and no kids so I got a great idea: instead of having a birthday we...
OtherI (31M) and my gf (25F) have been dating for about 2 years. My GF has beautiful hair that seems a lot more low maintenance than most women I know. She doesn’t use all a hundred different hair products, nor does she blow dry it. It honestly doesn’t take her long to style her hair or anything. However, she always insist on using this special towel to dry her hair. She insists that she can’t use ...
OtherI was on a domestic flight, and I had specifically booked a window seat because I love looking out at the view, it’s one of the few things I actually enjoy about flying. After I settled into my seat, a family boarded: a dad, a mom, and their little girl, who looked about six years old. The dad had an aisle seat, the mom was in the middle, and the kid was supposed to sit next to me in the other...
Family ConflictMy brother Connor is 19, I am 26, and my (now ex) fiancé Hunter is 28. Connor was kicked out when he was 16 because our parents found out he was gay. Connor had a birthday last weekend, and he invited friends over for drinking and games. Hunter and I were leaving, but Connor asked us to stay. I refused at first, but Hunter thought it would be fun to join. We got very drunk, and Connor sugges...
BoundariesMy dad pa*sed away 2 weeks ago. Me, my wife 'Candace' and my daughter (16) 'Shiloh' and her stepsisters (19) & (17) flew to my hometown to attend the funeral. After that we got 2 hotel rooms (one for me and Candace, one for the girls). While I was in the room, I got a call from Shiloh at 11pm crying and sounded like she was arguing with her stepsisters. I asked what the matter was and she told ...
OtherI have 4 kids, 23, 20, 16 and 13. This concerns my oldest, I'll refer to her as 'Zara'. We don't normally do big parties in our family after double digits (and 18th/21st), but Zara has been going through a bit of a difficult time so we decided to throw her a surprise party. This was yesterday. It was a big family party and Zara was enjoying it. Then the cake was brought out, I have a lot...
RelationshipMy husband and I have been trying for pregnancy for years now, and to cut a long story short it seems as though it will never be a possibility. It took a long time to come to terms with but we've gradually got there. Our entire family is aware of the journey we've been on and how much it meant to us. With that in mind, my husband and I came to his sister (Sarah) with a proposal. Sarah is in...
OtherGF and I were having dinner at a restaurant when she got a text from her best friend (who recently gave birth), and she said "omg she got a C section." she works as a nurse so she then explained to me the type of incision they make for that and how it'll leave a scar. I then, as a joke, said "at least she'll still be tight down there." My GF looked confused and then said that was a weird comme...
