OtherI (28 F) have been with my bf ( 32 M) for 5 yrs. Im currently delayed for a few days. While taking about things I said “I hope I’m not pr****nt “ and he asked me why. I was quiet for a few minutes and he keeps on asking whats the reason. Finally i gave in and said “ because… you can’t afford it.” After I said that he became distant and a bit cold. ( im just thinking about the practicality of h...
OtherI'm 29M, she is 28F. We've been platonic friends since university a few years ago. We're not super close friends but have hung out on occasion, although we used to hang out a lot more on campus. She has fallen under financial duress and I offered to let her live in my spare room while she gets her bearing. This was a month or so in planning, and she was due to move in the second week of Februa...
ParentingMy long term gf has my apartment keys, as I have hers. Only unspoken until now but always respected rule was, if you need to go to the other place, just send a text "Hey going to your place". Doesn't matter if the other is at home or even responds. Just simply to tell the other you will be at their place. I was supposed to be away 700km from home for 2 weeks for work related stuff, but 4 da...
ParentingI (28F) work full-time in retail, and as anyone who’s worked retail knows, it can be pretty exhausting. I’ve got a busy life outside of work, trying to balance my hobbies, taking care of my apartment, seeing friends, and just taking care of myself. You know, normal adult stuff. I don’t have kids, but that doesn’t mean I’m lounging around with endless free time. One of my coworkers, Sarah (3...
RelationshipI (29F) have been engaged for about a year, and I’m getting married in three months. My wedding dress is a big deal to me. It’s a gorgeous custom-made gown that I was keeping at my mom’s house because I wanted to avoid any “accidents” at home (I have a dog that sheds like crazy). My sister (34F) recently had some sort of “life-changing epiphany” and decided she’s done with fast fashion and want...
OtherI went out to dinner with my wife last night. When the bill came I gave the waitress my card. She came back shortly after looking upset. She s**pped the card down on the table and said "declined." I thought her tone and brevity was rude. I took out a different card from my wallet and handed it to her. While I was putting the first card in my wallet she didn't move. I looked at her and said ...
RelationshipI (23F) and my ex partner (22MTF) Dated for 6 months and she came out as trans. I am 100% straight and I broke up with her because she is now a woman and I am straight. She got extremely mad and said that we are to far into the relationship to break up and she wanted to continue dating. If anything I’m validating her, i’m just not attracted to her anymore. She says I don’t care about her perso...
RelationshipSo I’ve been dating my current GF for about 9 months or so. Her ex boyfriend that she broke up with about 6 months before we started dating has recently started talking to her again. I don’t feel partially comfortable about this as I believe he wants to get back with her, but they have only seen each other a few times in a group setting so I haven’t seen it as a big deal up until this point. ...
RelationshipI (28F) have been with my fiancé, Tom (30M), for three years. He and his ex, Sara, were together for six years before we met, and she’s been a shadow hanging over us the entire time. At first, I understood...they shared a lot of history, and breakups can be tough. But we’re supposed to be each other’s future now. We’re planning our wedding, building a life, and I thought he was done with the p...
Food & DietI work in a small office where we frequently organize potlucks for team-building events. Everyone usually brings a dish to share, and it’s som**hing we all enjoy—except for one coworker, Jake (34M). Jake claims to follow a “special d*et” for health reasons, but he’s never been specific about what it is. Every time we have a potluck, he doesn’t bring anything, yet he always eats everyone else’s ...
RelationshipI 27M and my girlfriend 27F have been together for 4 years now. I've always wanted to visit Universal Orlando to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter but I'd never been able to justify it financially. My dad d*ed recently and I got an inheritance in his will, not life changing money, but enough to pay off my debts and have som**hing left over. So I decided to book a trip for Universal, and ...
RelationshipI (28M) have been dating my girlfriend (27F) for almost two years. From the beginning, we agreed to split everything 50/50 - rent, groceries, dates, etc. I thought that was fair, even though I make significantly more than she does (I'm in tech, she's a teacher). Lately, I've started to feel weird about it. I cover some extras here and there (like vacations or bigger gifts), but the basic stuff ...
