WorkI work in an office about 100, and a team of about 30. I have a coworker, "Mark", who is about 55ish. I don't think he's a very nice person. He is always making snide comments about other coworkers, hates poor people and thinks that if you're poor it is purely because you're an i**ot, makes derogatory jokes about women and anyone non-white. Lots of people try to keep their distance, and it see...
OtherMy sister and I are twins (33F). We come from a culture where arranged marriages are an option (not India). Mostly they are blind dates set by a matchmaker. And if you are compatible you marry. When we both graduated highschool, my sister (who was valedictorian BTW) chose not to attend college. She asked for an arranged marriage since all she wanted to be was a wife and mother (nothing wrong wi...
OtherI had to get my uterus removed in 2015 because my endometriosis was beginning to grow and attach to my other organs, and had to get my ovaries removed a year later because they started growing ma*sive painful cysts afterwards. I'm dealing with menopause at 28 years old, and still deal with a lot of residual lower abdominal pain. This is just my life now. I admit that the chronic pain definitel...
OtherMy (32F) younger brother (28M) has always been a bit impulsive. He met his fiancée, Emma (27F), last year, and within six months, they were engaged. A month after that, she got pr****nt. Our family was shocked but supportive. My parents are not wealthy, but I’ve done well for myself, and my brother asked if I could help pay for their wedding. I agreed, with one condition: a paternity test. ...
OtherI (male) work in a corporate office and have a pretty set routine. Every day around 2pm, I go to the same coffee shop near the office for my usual pick-me-up. Over time, I started noticing that one of the baristas (a gay male, I a*sume) developed a crush on me. It started with little things and gradually the perks increased: notes on my cup, free size upgrades, my order would come out first des...
OtherI'm (28M) my brothers care taker (21M mental age 7-8), our parents decided at 18 to tell us to screw off, so when my brother (let's call him Bill) turned 18 I grabbed him and enrolled him to get his GED since he didn't finish highschool, and take care of him. His ch**es are too clean his room, help with laundry and set the table for supper. I get paid by the state and you better believe I make...
RelationshipMy ex and I split up 7 years ago and he gets our kids every other weekend. About a year after the split we both started seeing other people. His current girlfriend is absolutely stunning and she's fantastic with my kids. But.. my ex makes comments about my fiancé's weight more often than he should. My ex is scrawny (like 110lbs). He quite literally does not have any weight to him at all and...
RelationshipMy daughter (17f) recently started dating this boy 17m. He is her first bf ever. One of my biggest concerns when my daughter started dating is her getting mistreated, an obvious concern. However, after meeting her bf at one of his baseball games (she met him trough one of her friends in baseball) I realized this was not som**hing I had to be seriously concerned about. He is genuinely one of...
RelationshipMe (30F) and my husband (35M) have been together for close to 5 years (married for 2) and just had our first daughter, Hana. I am from Japan, my husband is a European, this will be important for the story. Before Hana was born, my husband and I had several long discussions about names. My husband was very vocal about wanting to name our first daughter Lily, said he always loved the name and alw...
OtherMe (36f) and my husband (42m) go away for two weeks every November to my parents villa in Tenerife. We normally go with four of his friends. This has been happening every year for the past 5 years with my husband and his friends but I’ve gone there every year since I was 18 in November as a last bit of heat and top up my tan before winter hits. Whenever I go on holiday I always sunbathe toples...
OtherMy (27F) friend (28F) recently got engaged. She’s the first one in our group to get engaged and we are very excited. Although we are very happy for her, we’ve noticed som**hing a bit… odd. Her fiancé is ALWAYS there. I mean, every event my friend is invited to, he’s there. Girls night out? He’s there. Weekend getaway? He’s there. Movie night with the gang? He’s there. He. Is. Always. There...
RelationshipI (M29) have been with my gf (F29) for about 6 years. We love each other very much and have a fulfilling relationship we are however a very introverted couple so when we discussed marriage, we were both on the idea that we didn’t want a traditional wedding or a wedding at all. We wanted to go to a courthouse by ourselves (no friends or family) sing the paper and then go to our honeymoon. In ou...
