OtherI(28f) have been working for the same company for just over two years now and I really like my job and all of my work mates. I have this habit where I drink a breakfast shake every morning. It contains one banana, 100 grams of strawberries, peanut b**ter, almond milk and two scoops of protein powder. I keep it in a shaker that can be closed and sip on it throughout the morning. All was fine...

RelationshipIt’s 4:45 am, and I didn’t sleep last night. I thought I’d post an update. I decided to stay awake and talk to him when he came home. When he did, I told him, “I could have tracked your location, shown up at the restaurant, and done so many things to get my answer. But I’d like to believe you have enough respect to tell me. Were you on a dinner date with your friends or Emma?” He showed me pic...

I thought a few d...
OtherMy sister is getting married in a couple of months. She finished cancer treatments recently and her hair has been badly affected by this. She's very self-conscious of it so she wanted me to be her hair stylist on her wedding day, instead of going to a salon. She approached me about it a month ago and I said no. There have been some very mixed opinions in our family about this so I decided to p...
OtherMy son is 10, 1 year ago he asked for a pet Guinea pig. We have a large garden so I agreed but only with some terms. I would cover the upkeep of food, bedding and pig treats and toys. He would have to save up half the money for a large hutch and I would pay for a large outdoor run, he agreed and did his ch**es and for his birthday I paid for 2 Guinea pigs from a local seller. My son named t...
OtherSo, I (27F) got married last weekend. My best friend, “Anna” (28F), has been my ride-or-d*e since high school and I asked her to be my maid of honor. I wanted everyone in the wedding party to feel confident and beautiful, so I let each of my bridesmaids pick their own dress within a certain color palette—earthy neutrals. Anna sent me a few options and asked for my opinion. One was a kind of off...
Family ConflictI (22 male) just finished college and went back to my hometown while I figure out what I want to do next. I was planning to share an apartment with my old friends, but my parents wanted me to move in to help them out. Covid has hid them hard and are struggling to pay their bills, so they wanted me to move in and pay rent. I said ok because I wanted to help them out. It all went well until 3 day...
RelationshipMy wife and I have a 6 month old and since she came back from the hospital, she completely changed. Before that we were the perfect couple, never once argued, had a happy life. Her hatred for me was radiated from her everytime I was with her. I am not someone who likes to argue and after tolerating a lot, 2 days ago I snapped. We had a very heated argument that resulted in a screaming match. ...
RelationshipA few weeks ago I woke up to my boyfriend of 4 years’ trying to stick his you-know-what in me, and I feel v***ated and don’t know what to do because when I bring it up he centres his own feelings about it and I end up comforting HIM. I have never said that this was ok to do, in fact it never came to mind he’d do som**hing like this because I told him my ex gr**ed me that way once. It went a bit...
RelationshipMy son (13) has recently got into cooking and he's amazing at it. Usually when he was experimenting or making food for just himself he washed up. He started helping me out with meals, and two times a week now he cooks dinner by himself. My husband has been insisting he wash his own dishes up, but I usually just wind up doing them. I don't particularly like feeling like I'm doing nothing. ...
Food & DietSo, I own my apartment and rent out the second room to a buddy of mine. Everything was cool at first, but lately, his girlfriend has been staying over every weekend. I wouldn’t mind so much if it wasn’t for the fact that every time she’s here, she helps herself to my stuff—mainly my food. I meal prep for the week, and I buy my own groceries. It’s not like I don’t share sometimes, but I’ve notic...
