OtherSo over the summer my husband’s son Jay stays with his mom. He’s 16. He gets home and gets everything ready for school. I noticed his mom gave him a new gaming system and I don’t say anything as he puts it in his room. It’s not uncommon for his mom buy him things. The police show up at my house and ask to see both me and Jay. His dad is working. I let the police come in and they asked about his g...
OtherFirst of all, thank you to those of you who offered kind words and solid advice. This update is likely to disappoint some of you, as it does me. My fiance and I have been fighting solidly since before I posted my last thread. It's been exhausting. I called her out on her obvious lie and she fumed at how awful I was for calling her a liar. From then on it was as if she was falling down a smooth we...
Family ConflictI (16f) sometimes babysit on weekends. My mom's coworker needed a babysitter, and she gave him my number. I agreed to babysit 3 kids from 2 pm till 8.30 pm because the parents had some party to get to. It went okay. But the parents didn't get back at 8.30. At 9 I tried calling him, but he didn't pick up. I texted a few times. At 9.30 I tried calling again, and again at 10 and 10.30. I tried call...
OtherThis morning my wife is having a major surgery due to a b***st cancer diagnosis. We are about 15 minutes from the hospital. Check in was scheduled for 5:30 a.m. Unbeknownst to me, my wife let my 23-year-old son borrow her car last night. My car is out of state because I moved for work, so while I am here, we only have 1 car. We decided to leave at 5 a.m. because she is obviously anxious and do...
Family ConflictMy parents divorced when I was 7 because my dad was having an affair with his current wife and had gotten her pr****nt. My life was a mess after. My mom was broken and my dad was really trying to bring me and my sister into this perfect family mold with his wife, but because he did a bad job of keeping me out of it, I knew, and I didn't like either of them for it. I still don't. I think his wi...
ParentingI'm (28f) due to marry my fiancé Dean (30m) in a month. We’ve been together for 11 years and have a girl Ella(5). Important info, Ella has autism, high functioning. She’s incredibly quiet, keeps to herself, very polite and acts more mature than some adults I know. Obviously we want her there, she just wants to go as a guest, thats fine. She is the only child under 16 allowed at our wedding. ...
OtherMy wife and her sister are very close, but dissimilar in major ways. My wife isn’t materialistic, but my SIL is one of the most materialistic people I’ve ever met and majorly suffers from “keeping up with the Jones Syndrome.” This type of keeping up with the Jones’s behavior really unsettles my wife and her mom, but they rarely call it out because my SIL gets extremely defensive and acts like a vi...
Family ConflictOk I know the t*tle sounds terrible but hear me out, please. I (18f) will be blunt here. I've always been the "ba***rd child," not because of anything I did. I was just born to teenage parents who never got married. Honestly, it's probably a good thing they didn't, as I was the product of my dad losing his virginity from a ONS, and they hate each other. My dad's family are all from the south an...
OtherSo my (28f) husband (31m) had to spend two months in a different state for work. He came back 9 days ago. I am obviously thrilled he’s back and I’ve missed him a lot. I was hoping we would be able to spend some time together just the two of us. However his mom (56f) came over when he was supposed to come home. I was slightly annoyed but I know she was just excited for her son to be back. Howev...
OtherI (35M) am a disabled veteran. I don't advertise I am one, but I do have my state's DV plates that allow me to park in handicapped spaces. They performed a transfemoral amputation in '06 due to combat-related injuries. So I have an endoskeletal prosthesis. You, however, wouldn't know it was there unless I rolled my pant leg up. You especially wouldn't know from looking at me from the waist up. I...
RelationshipI (28M) and my wife (27F) are expecting. She's 7 months pr****nt. Since she's been pr****nt she has been getting onto me for small things, like if I don’t make dinner for her or if I cook her the wrong thing. Before she was pr****nt she was never like this, she was always very sweet. Yesterday my wife came back from her parent's house, and I made homemade pizza for us. She told me she didn’t wa...
Family ConflictI (17F) have a step-mom (48F) who married my dad around a year after my mom pa*sed away 3 years ago. When my mom d*ed, my dad never left his room, he barely spoke to me except for the occasional good morning. He ended up losing his job. I had to clean, cook, and take on odd jobs mowing people’s lawns or babysitting while in school. I tried to get him to go to therapy. He never spoke about my mom...
