Food & DietI (56M) have a son (28M) who spent a lot of time traveling overseas in his college years. He went all around the world, including several trips to the Middle East, where he stud*ed for his minor in Arabic language and literature. A few years ago, my son found out that a woman he knew in Pakistan had a son (9M). She claimed this son was his, which I doubted. My son, however, believed her without...
RelationshipI've known for years that my (44F) husband (49M) cheats on me. I grew up with a single mother who worked night shift at a motel. I made it my goal to give my kids a better life. Aged 18 I married my high school sweetheart. We both got jobs, him at a manufacturing company and me at a department store. Things went well until year 7 of our marriage when the company my ex worked at closed. H...
OtherI (F33) have been engaged to my fiance (M37) for 5 months. We don't share finance because that's what he wants. I got a raise on my salary. now I earn 30% more than he does and I noticed that he's been using this to ask me to pay for him and his friends. Whenever I say "no" or "why should I pay for this?" he'd respond with "the 30% that's why". he acts as if the 30% is unfair or that I'm not d...
ParentingI live in a pretty small town, so if you don't know somebody directly, you're likely to know a person who knows them, and this is pretty much biting me in the a*s right now. My husband and I are looking to upgrade homes given we're planning on expanding our family, so we've been looking at a few open houses recently. About a week ago we were at an open house when our daughter (4) wandered off a...

OtherMe and my (now ex) girlfriend of 3 years lived in a 2 bedroom apartment which I pay for by myself. We use a meter and pay the utility bills through my account, with her compensating her spend. We have always been big on trust because both of us have been cheated on in previous relationships and did not want that to happen again. The fact that I pay solely for this apartment is important as ...
RelationshipI have two younger sisters who are 15 and 17. They came to visit my husband and I on what was supposed to be a 5-week trip. Unfortunately, it had to end early after they were caught following my husband while he was having dinner with a client. I told them they had to leave immediately because I could tell my husband was close to exploding and even though they kept begging me to hear them out a...
OtherI’m currently staying with my in-laws. Before we came to visit my mother-in-law asked me what pregnancy cravings I was having because she wanted to make sure they had them for me. I mostly crave chocolate fudge brownie ice cream and they bought a lot of it for me. I was eating it directly out of the tub since it never lasts more than two days max and nobody else was eating it as far as I was aw...

I also have a sister Ca*sidy (28F) who just called me about the logistics/...

She also has a ton of responsibility at her job where even if it’s her time off, if s**t goes down, she has to handle it.

RelationshipMy biggest pregnancy craving right now is chocolate cake. We didn’t have any left and my husband was on an important call so I asked my brother-in-law if he could get it for me as my husband doesn’t think I should be driving or going out late at night alone right now. He was spending time with his girlfriend when I asked so after he left she was annoyed at me for interrupting them. She said I w...
