RelationshipI have a decent video collection. My girlfriend of 2 years (25F) and I (24F) decided we wanted to move in together. She mentioned getting rid of my collection, but I initially dismissed it as a joke. It turns out she wanted me to get rid of my entire video game collection. Some of my games are worth money, and I have been keeping them to potentially increase their value. My collection also rep...
RelationshipMy sister (F27) and I (18F) lost our dad a year ago. He was my only parent, mom was never in mine or my sister's life. Dad left money (inheritance) for me and sister and she used her inhertance to get new cars and renovate her house. I live with my aunt right now cause my brother inlaw didn't let me stay with my sister. I'm planning on using my inhertance money to pay for college tuition (I've...
RelationshipMy wife and I are both 32. Since we got married and moved in together five months ago, my wife has simply not made nearly enough food for me. This is not a kind of situation where I'm constantly agitated at her for incompetence or anything like that. I would be more than happy to microwave a burrito. I would be more than happy to whip up a peanut b**ter and jelly sandwich. But I can't. My w...
BoundariesMy fiancé (37M) and I (33F) got engaged few months ago. We're getting married soon and invitations were already sent out. right now we're focusing on much smaller details. We've also been busy moving into our new home that we purchased together (30% of his savings + 70% of mine). I have to say that saving up for this house took most of my savings and prevented me from enjoying the things I lov...
BoundariesI (22M) have a roommate (let’s call him Alex M23) who moved in about six months ago. I honestly never considered Alex may be trans, not that I would care if he was, but that's not the issue. He is a short guy and probably under 165cm, has a lot facial hair, muscles, and looks a lot like a short Henry Cavill imo. No one I know has ever brought up this idea before, I've had my friends and family...
OtherI was having a conversation with a friend of a friend (who is from South America) about one of my co-workers, and I said som**hing like “He’s born in England, but his mannerisms are very American.” She gave me this puzzled look and said “What kind of American? Like, from Argentina or Brazil?” I then said “No, American like the United States.” she looked upset and said “You know, America is a c...
RelationshipWhen my daughter was 14, wife and I decided we would buy a car for her to use on her 16th if she proved herself to be responsible, got good grades, etc. There would be a "contract" of sorts to ensure we were all on the same page. The stipulations were continuing good grades, good att*tude, she could only bring one friend with her somewhere (to begin with), we had to know where she was, and the...
RelationshipI'm (42) dating Tim (59), a widower. He's in banking, I'm a bartender. His late wife required extensive medical treatment three times, leading Tim to exhaust his finances, including draining credit cards, taking out a second mortgage, and cashing out retirement funds to cover treatment and pay for both daughters' weddings. We drove to his daughters' home for Christmas the last two years. They c...
RelationshipMy (35M) wife (33F) got invited to a party at her co-worker's house. I reluctantly went because the only person I would know was my wife. This is a relatively new job for her and wanted to be able to meet and mingle with her co-workers outside of work. Her understanding of it all was we didn't need to bring anything but ourselves. We show up and seems like a lively party, pool with a bar ar...
OtherI (27F) have a name that isn’t super common in the U.S., but it’s not that hard to pronounce. Think som**hing like “Leena,” but my in-laws keep saying “Lana.” It’s a small difference, but it makes my name sound completely different. I’ve been with my husband (30M) for five years, married for two, and his parents have *never* gotten it right. At first, I thought they just needed time to adjust. ...
RelationshipI (35m) have been with my wife Allie (37f) for two years, married for one and we are expecting our first child together in a few months. I also have two children (8m and 6f) from a previous relationship with Alex (32f), and we have 50/50 custody, however, Alex travels a lot for work so we have the kids more than that most of the time, so we get child support from her. Before we got married, All...
OtherI have a theory that when one hosts a dinner party, the host does everything and guests relax. Whenever I have guests over, I don’t want them helping me set the table, or doing the dishes; I want them having fun and drinking and enjoying. I was recently at my in-laws. My MIL cooked up a storm and was frantically running in and out of the kitchen with various dishes, etc. I ate, took my plate to...
