OtherSo I (30F) made money young. I dropped out of college to model, then started my own business and made some smart decisions with stocks. So I have quite a bit of money saved, my own property owned free and clear (just pay utilities), and a couple cars. I am single and childless. Growing up, I was very close with my twin (30M) but not so much with my other siblings (also twins, 28F). Basicall...
OtherMy son d*ed at age 4. On the first mothers day after he d*ed my husband got me a necklace with some of his ashes in. I wear it every single day. My Aunt is not someone I see often. She got on with my son but only really saw him a handful of times a year. She came a few times to see him when he was sick but not often. When we were told he didn't have long left I asked if she wanted to come and s...
RelationshipI'm in a weird situation and I'm beginning to feel like I was in the wrong because of my wife's response...or lack thereof. Last Sat**day my wife went out with a recently divorced friend. She invited my wife to a brewery fundraiser and said she would be gone from about 4-8 PM. She took our youngest to their house to play with her friend's child, and their teenage daughter was going to watch the...
ParentingMy wife and I (both 30s) are parents to five kids between us. I have two kids (15 and 13) with my late wife and my wife has three a 16 year old daughter with her ex-boyfriend and two more kids (10 and 7) with her late husband. We've been married for four years and we were together for two years prior. When we met she shared custody of her oldest daughter with her ex and after we had been ma...
OtherI (27F) have been with my bf (42M) for almost 2 years. We live together so we spend most of our time together (dinner, gym, weekend plans, etc.) I’m very social and love spending time with family and friends so when I say “solo time” I really mean alone time with them. Prior to us dating, I would have sleepovers with my sister and best friends all the time. Bf thinks that’s weird and that no on...
Family ConflictMy mom married my stepdad when I (20f) was 7 and my stepsister was 6. She was such a nightmare to deal with and it only got worse after her dad took custody of her from her mom when she was 13. She smashed up the collection of photos my mom had of my uncle/her brother who d*ed when they were kids and she made sure those photos could not be salvaged. She broke som**hing valuable that her grandm...
OtherSo I 14F and my little sister 12D have never been close. Cla*sic sibling relationship. My mom and dad recently divorced and now my mom works A LOT. Since then me and my sister (let's call her Ally) grew cl**er. We started talking more and hanging out and have a real relationship. So last night around 8pm Ally comes into my room in tears. I could instantly tell som**hing was off so I asked and ...
OtherMy sister and her friend came to stay at my apartment temporarily yesterday, only for a few days because they had to leave their own for a few nights. I didn't really want them to come because my place is pretty small (NYC), and even more so because their landlord was obligated to pay for a hotel for them but they didn't want to demand it. I have a 2 bed 2.5 bath, so my sister is on the couch a...
RelationshipI lost my brother in a motorcycle accident 3 weeks ago at the age of 21. This was sudden and devastating beyond measure. I live 3 towns away from my entire family and I didn't know about it right away. My husband was calling when I walked into the room where my phone on vibrate and charging. I answered and he asked why I didn't answer my sister's calls. I asked why and wether she called him. ...
RelationshipWe have been married for 12 years, together for 15. Up until the events of the last year, I was not really big into video games or gaming, but with being locked up in the house and not being able to really do things that we normally did together, my husband got me into online gaming with him. Normally my husband is a very quiet and reserved person, but when he games, it's like a switch flips an...
OtherI have two older siblings. My brother, 32 and my sister, 33. I am 21. I found out I was pr****nt last year. Everyone was more than happy for us and congratulated us. Everyone but my sister. My sister had to basically look after me and take on a third parent role and watch me on nights my parents worked or weekends they worked. Because of that, she blamed me and hated me because I was the reaso...
OtherSo, this is a disaster. My fiancé (29M) and I (28F) have been looking into buying a house. We’ve been saving for this for years and have enough saved up to buy som**hing small (our city’s housing market is pretty insane, so even with a good combined income, most things are out of our range). We don’t need a lot of space and aren’t planning to have kids anytime soon, if ever, so small works jus...
