OtherTo set the scene, I, 26, bought the house I'm living in in 2019 from this lovely older couple. I thought, as I'm sure anyone who has been in this situation might think, that the signing was gonna be the last time I ever say them, or had anything to do with their family. I was wrong. Yesterday, I got a knock on my door. I opened it to find a young couple, probably my age, maybe a bit younger. T...
RelationshipI’m 32F, my husband is 31M. We have a 6yrs old son, Leo. He’s a sweet, curious kid who’s really into dinosaurs and loves riding his little blue bike. Last weekend, I went grocery shopping while my husband stayed home with Leo. Apparently, Leo was outside riding his bike and left it in the front yard while he went inside to get water. A few minutes later, our neighbor, Ms. Robert, came over ...
RelationshipI {41m} am confused. One night at home, I heard a commotion coming from our daughter's {15f} bedroom. I came in to see my wife {42f} and our daughter were arguing. I asked what's going on and my daughter said that her mom told her that wearing p**ple patches are gross and then her mom her she's not allowed to wear them anymore. My wife said they are gross and it's a s***id TikTok trend. My wif...
RelationshipI'm absolutely fuming at the moment, so I'm sorry if this is jarring. I (35M) have been married to my wife (35 F) for 8 years at this point and would have liked to believe that we had a solid marriage so far. My wife has a group of friends she frequently hangs out with who I know and am on friendly terms with. They decided to go on an out of city trip and she asked me if it was fine. Natura...
ParentingI (48M) have a vacation house adjacent to a ski area. I've owned it since before I met my wife and had kids (11M and 13M). The kids have grown up skiing 25-35 days a year, do lots of lessons and as a result they are both excellent skiers. My wife invited a colleague, "Annie", and her family, including a 12 year old son, "Tom", to come out after Christmas for a few days. My kids aren't friendly ...
RelationshipI (21F) have been collecting Littlest Pet Shop (LPS) figures for as long as I can remember. Some of these are rare and worth quite a bit, but beyond the monetary value, they have a lot of sentimental value to me. I’ve taken really good care of them over the years and have them displayed on a shelf in my room, strictly off-limits to anyone. I’ve made it clear to my boyfriend (26M) how much thes...
RelationshipWe live in the north, it is winter and I have not shaved my legs in probably about a month due to seasonal depression/not needing to wear shorts in this weather. My husband came to bed and saw my lying with one leg out of the covers and commented on my leg hair. He then asked if we were supposed to have s*x after seeing my leg like that. I told him I could go shave but it would take a while and...
ParentingMy (26F) boyfriend (31M) has a 6-year-old son from a previous relationship. He sees him every other weekend, Friday night through Sunday afternoon, sometimes Monday morning if he doesn’t have school. I’ve been with him a little over a year now, and I like his son, I really do, but I wouldn’t say I’ve bonded deeply with him. Here’s the issue: anytime parenting comes up, discipline, sleep tra...
ParentingMy 29f husband 34m has three kids from a prior marriage. 11m,7m,6m. They are absolutely terrors, as both of their parents have struggled to agree with parenting and rules. When I met my husband four years ago, he stated that he isn’t looking for a mom for his kids. His kids have two parents, and he’s looking for a wife for himself. I like kids but I’ve never wanted any of my own. I was open...
RelationshipI’ve been living with my girlfriend for about 5 years. When the pandemic hit, I lost my place. At the time, we’d only been dating for a year. I asked if I could stay with her temporarily while I figured things out. She agreed, as long as I covered the rent, and she’d handle the other household expenses. It seemed fair, so I moved in and paid the full rent each month. Less than a year ago, I...
OtherMy fourteen year old son loves to bake and he is really good at it too. He started with simple things like cookies but now he can bake just about anything from bread to pies, even cakes. Sometimes friends and people we know will ask him to bake them som**hing and he will charge them a small fee. My mother has always hated the fact that my son loves baking. She doesn't understand 'what kind ...
RelationshipI (27F) ended my engagement to my ex-fiancé (29M) last year after catching him cheating on me with a coworker. It was a humiliating and devastating experience. I thought I could rely on my family for support, but my mom (55F) was oddly neutral about the whole thing. She said things like, “Everyone makes mistakes,” and, “Are you sure you weren’t just overreacting?” as if I didn’t see the texts ...
