OtherMy friend is obviously gay. He does nails with the girls, he follows make-up tutorials on YouTube, speaks in a higher tone of voice, and flails around a lot. He also gushes with the girls in our group when they bring up K-Pop celebs (guys) and joins them for shopping when we split up at the mall. We (the guys) know he's gay, the girls most certainly do, and it's pretty much an open secret at th...
BoundariesMy wife [25F] and I [31M] bought a house together about six months ago. This is our first time living together. Our house is an old American house that has been reformed many times. As a consequence of this, it has a silly layout where there are two bathrooms right next to each other that share the same wall. When we pulled the trigger on buying it, we made an agreement that I'd take the bathr...
OtherI (34m) served as a Captain in the Marine Corps. I have left the service, and right now I am doing an MBA. One of my cla*smates (31F), who we'll call "J", is very gentle, very soft-spoken and una*suming. J and I were working together on a case study once, and I started opening up to her about my military service and all the lessons that I've learnt from the Corps. J enthusiastically told me "t...

I have never had feelings for Tom nor has he ever had feelings for me. Since college, Tom has been a huge watch fanatic. Two months ago, he was showing me this stunning vintage watch and made an off-handed comment about how he ...
WorkI’m an atheist who works in an international company in a very busy city. I have a lot of coworkers who come from a certain religious background that requires them to pray multiple times a day. I would say 90% of my coworkers share this faith and maybe 70-80% of them take the time out to go pray everyday. They get to leave the office 2 or 3 times in a day for 10 mins a piece for prayer and t...
OtherI (25F) am getting married. My fiancé(25 M) and I decided on a dry wedding since we do not drink and see no point in spending money for alcohol. We were debating about getting a cash bar but then decided to no alcohol at all. (There will be a wide range of other drinks, not just juice and soda, provided). We informed our guests via invitations with som**hing along the lines of “You don’t ha...
OtherMy (32M) wife's (35F) daughter (16F) recently announced she is pr****nt. She claims she doesn't know who the father is. I suspect she actually does and doesn't want to say, for whatever reason. I mean how much unprotected s*x is a 16 year old really having? It can't be that hard to narrow it down for goodness sake. Anyway, moving on. She is adamant on keeping the baby. Abortion is out of th...
ParentingRight now both of my kids (16-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter) and my ex are extremely mad at me because I won't give up my appointed time with them. My son won't even talk to me and my daughter is crying all the time. A little backstory. Me and my ex divorced shortly after my daughter was born. I blame him for it and he blames me. We ended up with a 50/50 custody agreement switching every...

They have visited my apartment before, but last night, his parents stopped by unexpectedly, claiming they were visiting a friend nearby and decided to stay for dinner.

OtherMy daughters 14 & 16 are on the same dance team. Their team won a compet*tion on Sunday, and we were all so excited and proud of them. After the compet*tion, my dad suggested we go out to eat and said he would pay for wherever we wanted. Older daughter, who loves seafood, has been asking for years to go to a restaurant that has unlimited crab legs, but it's a very pricy restaurant, so we've nev...
RelationshipI’m an amateur baker and I like to make cakes for people for their birthdays. My ex doesn’t like sweet stuff but our kids like helping me make a cake for him so I normally make one for him anyway for their sakes. This year his girlfriend planned a party for him and she told me she had already ordered him a cake so I didn’t need to make one. I told her that was fine but my daughter kept asking m...
