OtherLet me start off by saying that I'm a very busy student combining my stud*es with a job to keep bread on my table, and my life is very hectic (don't get a lot of free time). I live in a small apartment in the suburbs and my one true pa*sion is music. Recently I picked up playing the ukulele along with the guitar and found it to be very relaxing and fun. Trouble is, since I barely get any free ti...
WorkI have a large plumbing job I'm trying to do for a cannabis farm. It requires a ton of work to be done but especially running plumbing for the plants, feed room, ect ect. I have had 6-7 meetings with the guy going over the project in detail. Dosing systems in particular are complicated and require significant planning to get right. Unfortunately after seeing his support for Trump I decided doing...
OtherI barely like people’s posts on Facebook. I only do it if I can relate to the post or find them funny. For about a week or so my sister has non stop texted me asking why I’m not liking her posts. (I hardly see her posts in general and usually don’t see that she’s the one posting them) I asked her why it mattered so much and she told me that I’d be supporting her by liking her posts. I tried expl...
RelationshipI liked a good looking girl on Facebook 4 days ago, I never really took notice of it until now. My girlfriend messaged me saying she feels sick and started puking. I then asked, “What’s wrong?” I didn’t get a reply. My girlfriend's aunt messaged me a screenshot of her saying how I reacted on the said girl's post. I got scolded from the aunt, who said, “It’s common sense” to not like other girls’...
ParentingI went to leave my home today and when I opened my front door (which opens directly onto a street), I was greeted with a shopping trolley that had been ditched right in front of it. Not exactly blocking the path but directly in front of my house. I have a doorbell camera so I checked the footage and it was some local kids (around age 12-13 I'd say) who dragged it there, played around with it for a...
ParentingQuick background, my ex/child’s father (referred to as Fred) was in my life from 2006-2010. We dated and had our son in 2009, breaking up the next year. He was still very active in his life and he saw him every weekend. We had a decent co-parenting relationship. In 2011 he met his now wife and they were pr****nt very quickly with their first child. Around 2013 we stopped hearing from them comple...
OtherI had her baby shower last week. Tons of photos were taken. We took several on her phone. I got a notification that she tagged me in a photo and I looked horrendous. Terrible angle, lighting, everything. I am 5 months postpartum and struggling with body image issues badly so this doesn’t help when you see a bad photo of yourself plastered on the internet. <——- THIS is why I’m trying to stay o...
Family ConflictSo my parents for years had the same cleaning lady, and I was somewhat friendly with her daughter, who’s the same age as me. But it didn’t become a thing until we were 20. I was back home from college for winter break. We got to spend time together, and then I went back to school. Well that “time” we spent together resulted in me getting her pr****nt, only I didn’t know. She didn’t want to tell ...
OtherMy brother suddenly pa*sed away on July 16, 2019, of a heart attack at 38 years old. It was a complete shock, and my poor SIL and her daughter were there when he d*ed. After he d*ed, she logged into his Facebook to message some of his friends to let them know (totally cool; I wouldn't want to find out a friend pa*sed by a Facebook post). She told them she would keep them in the loop for the fune...

My dad had an affair with a close family friend (35M), we didn’t know in the beginning because when they separated they told us that “their marriage wasn’t working like it used to do” so for around one a...
ParentingSecond, this is my property that I have a mortgage on. It’s not community or city property. This past winter, I had a pool installed at my house. After the pool installation, I had my old fence removed and installed new fences that met with the city code for a residential pool. My new fence is higher than my old one and the gates have approved locks. About a month ago I had to travel for work an...
ParentingI (32f) have been married to my ex "Dan" (35m) for 6 years before we divorced at the end of 2020 due to him cheating with "Kate". Kate and Dan have a son who is 3 which was conceived and born during the pandemic while I was under high risk and their entire affair has cost me some of my physical health, not just mental one. After the divorce Dan moved out from my house and we haven't spoken since....
